That Ralph De Palma, winner last week

Eastern friends. Before leaving New

Pique at having run out OF gasolene

deem his reputation in competition with
the European stars Of the road.

PROTECTION OF AUTOS
Insurance Companies Help Own
ers to Prevent Fires.

In the line Of safety first" suggestions
that have marked all lines Of business
throughout the country in the last year
the matter OF protection for automobiles
and their occupants has not, perhaps,
been given the attention that its impor-
lance deserves. II is true, of course, that
the owner-driver and the chauffeur have
been reminded continually of the bes.
means TO avoid collisions with other vehi-
cles and to avoid injury to pedestrians
by observing the generally accepted rules
Of the road
II has remained for the fire liability
companies however. 10 bring home 10
motorists the value of fire protection by
reducing the premium on motor cars
equipped with an approved form Of eX-
tinguisher. The first move in this direc-
tion was made by Hartford company
six months ago, and it is said that up 10
the present time more than hundred
other companies have followed suit The
compact LIQUID gas type of extinguisher
known as Pyrene has been the only one
thus far approved by the Board Of Tn
derwriters
March and April are the months In
which great majority Of the automo-
bile insurance policies are renewed. and
II is probable that this year many thous-
ands of motorists throughout the coun-
try will take advantage OF the new con
dtions. since the reduction is substan-
tial one. The rather surprising feature Of
the situation, in view of the general de
sire OF manufacturers Of motor cars TO
give complete equipment, is that none of
the large concerns has seen At, so far. to
make provision for fire fighting, as the
risk is an ever present one.

GROUND GRAIN FOR FEEDING
Dat Grain Should Be Crushed and the
Ear Corn Ground into Coarse
Meal for Horses and Cows.

A popular grain feed for COWS and
horses is provender--corn and oats
ground together. Corn on the cob and
oats for cows is fully as good as
shelled corn and oats, and the labor Of
Smelling is saved. Probably the finer
they are ground the more completely
they will be digested, but there is a
point of fineness beyond which the
cost Of reduction win be greater than
the gain secured. Just when this point
was reached would depend upon so
many things, the price Of the grains.
the cost of grinding and the value Of
the dairy product, that no definite
statement can be made. But this
much may be said, the oat grains
should be crushed so as to expose the
kernels to.the action Of the digestive
juices, and the ear corn should be
ground into a coarse meal.

ment posts in this case had to have
extra large butts on account Of the
hollows in the ground, which had a
tendency to pull up the posts.

the ground is very dry it is sometimes
very troublesome while building wire

post. nail two by four scantling to

the scantling about four or five feet in
length, now attach two by four three
feet in length to the scantling, lamp
the dirt over this securely and the
post will never slip or turn If properly
braced at the top. To properly brace
the post at the top the brace should
be fitted in the post two and one-half

brace should be of good material with

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH.
Picture Of HHollering Jones" at Fa-.
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform.


A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures, once
made the acquaintance of noisy but
good-humored cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation Of ~HoIlering Jones'
In physical appearance this man was
typical of his kind, and the artist made
several studies OF him, both in re-
pose and in his favorite diversion Of
-hollering." Some of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine. They showed Jones in his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself, bearing one Of
the pictures, which he had. torn from
the magazine in which it was printed.
Pointing to it. he asked:
is that me?''
@Well," replied the artist evasively,
Il got the general idea from you. Of
course, but"
"Oh. amt takin no offense, Jones
made haste to say. SITS all right; only
II it's me. say so.'
IF you put 1t to me that way" said
the artist, x can only reply that it is
a fairly good portrait of you.
THE men here on the ranch agree
with you. So look like that when ]
holler. do II"
Il think you do.''
I'm that case" said Hollering JONES'
AL I've got to say is. that Hollering
Jones has hollered his last holler.

ion, no man has right to look like
that-not round white folks, anyhow"

CULTURE or ALFALFA CROP
Success Reported Upon Soils Of Great

The matter Of alfalfa growing Is

of great diversity should be ain en-

upon q small plot in order to expert

named sections. We know of in

leo, where the same fields of alfalfa
have been used for several genera
tons, says a writer in an exchange.
In the matter Of fertilization, we
must remember that alfalfa draws its
own nitrogen from the air, which it
stores in nodules along its roots, but
it is a heavy potash feeder. Chemical
analysis has shown that nearly az
much potash is required in its produc-
ton as nitrogen, and nearly four times
as much potash as phosphoric acid.
This fact bears some relation possibly
to the matter of luxuriant growth. in.
the far West and Southwest, where
the soils are rich in potash in avail
able form. We have not these con-
dttions, but frequent experiments in
many sections have given very salts
