ley's sawmill in a quiet place
among the tall pines, in the ear.
ly morning of June Oath, the
time for Mrs. Tennie Crownover
to exchange a life Of suffering
and toll for a home beyond the
skies, came in that quiet way
that many other good Christian
mothers have experienced.
Mrs. Crownover was born in
the year 1885, in the state of AL
ALBANIA, and in 1901 she was
united in marriage to S. G.
Crownover.
About ten years ago Mrs.
Crownover was converted and
baptized, and joined the Holi-
ness church in Oklahoma, and
they who knew her best say that
she had lived a good Christian
life ever since.
In the evening of the 24th
Rev. A. w. Lyttle was sent for
to conduct the funeral. On ac-
count of the long distance to
drive in order to reach the CEN.
etery on the day following, it
was decided to have the funeral
sermon preached on the evening
Of the 24th.
Quite number of friends and
the relatives gathered in the
new tent house that had been
built but a few days before, and
listened to a sermon preached
from the words, Watching
Jesus" and early in the morn
ing of the 25th the relatives and
friends started for the cemetery
twenty miles away, and in the
at two o'clock Mrs.
Tennie Crownoyer was laid away
to rest.
She leaves a husband, a son, a
son, a daughter, five brothers
and one sister, besides many
other relatives and friends to
mourn while she is enjoying the
home that is made not with
hands, where there will be no
more separation A. w. L.

FINE RAINS

We take great pleasure in re-
porting nice rains for the Estan-
cia valley during the past week,
coming just in time to be of most
benefit to crops and pasturage,
and as far as we have been able
to learn, covering the valley gen
orally. In Estancia there was .54
Of an inch on Tuesday, and 80
on Wednesday, making for the
two days "a of an inch.
The precipitation record for
the past two months has been an
unusual one. For May the record
was 1.60 inches, and for June
1. 80 inches. This with the 80
on July 1, makes the precipitation
from the first of May to z a. m.
July End, 3. 20 inches. All of this
rain has fallen so that the soil
got the full benefit of it.
Reports from the farmers con-
tinue to show very fine prospects
for crops.

Judge Medler came in Tuesday
by motor, to look after few
matters in court. Judge Medler
is a good roads booster, and on
this trip took occasion to log a
road from Cedarvale to Lucia by
which all sand and other bad
features are entirely avoided.
We shall in a future issue publish
this log, and possibly a map of
the road, as it is important to
motorists from the south who
desire to reach Estancia and
points north. Judge Medler was
laid up here by the rains, and
thinks it is quite a novelty to be
waterbound in Estancia.

Keep Hons Healthy.

Anyone who has had experience in
growing swine and who has tried to
treat them when sick has noticed how
extremely difficult it Is. 1t is not so
difficult as long as the swine will eat.
Medicine may be put into the food. but
swine that are very i'll will not eat.
Take, for instance, pneumonia; for
treatment, when in severe cases heart
failure is feared, it is recommended
that digitalis shall be administered
In occasional doses, but how is it to
be administered to a hog SO sick that
he is in danger of heart failure? The
better plan by far is to try to keep
Che swine so comfortable that they
will not be threatened with heart fail
ure.

Such an organization would com

States quickly to take her place

from year to year. Every farmer has
a desire to be better farmer, and
grow better crops, better hogs, horses
and cattle year after year. Since
dairying is an essential part Of his
business, and is that part which for
many years supplies him with the
money necessary to keep the other
parts going, why should he not seek
to milk better cow next year than
he MIXED this year? Aside from the
incentive toward improvement for
improvements sake, there is the add
ed advantage of greater profit each
time the COW is MIXED, which is twice
per day for 10 or ii months Of the
year. Cow improvement will come,
first, through better housing and bet
ter feeding. The capacity Of the cow
can then be measured. If she does
not reach standard of profit under
good treatment in housing and feed
ing, the improvement must then come
through the breeding of a better cow

SAVING THE STRAW STACKS
Much VIII Go to Waste at Harvest
Time Unless Steps Are Taken to
Get Them Into Shape.
. (Ry w. f. puRpuEl

(By w. f. PURDUE.)
Unless steps are taken at harvest
time to save the straw stacks, much
of the straw will go to waste in one
way or another.
This is practically true where the
stacks are poorly constructed, as they
usually are with our modern wire
stackers IL there are no hands on the
stack at the time Of the threshing.
The only way well shaped, water
proof stack can be secured is to have
one or two good hands on the stack as
the grain is being threshed. Then,
after the machine leaves, the stack
can be completed in a short time, as
the straw win save, with but little
loss.
II it is not possible to have the
hands on the stack while the straw Is
being piled up it can be worked over
afterward. This should be done be-
fore rain has fallen to settle the straw,
however, and fairly good job made
of it. -
The newly made stack should then
be fenced SO that The stock cannot run
to 1t before the straw is we'll settled.
A bunch of cattle will destroy new
stack in very short time if permitted
to have free access to it.
Other animals are not so bad in this
respect, still, they can do considerable
damage.
Before any stock are turned to the
straw the scatterings should be gath
cred from the sides of the stack.
II they are allowed to remain about
the stack they will form steps on
which the stock can climb to the top
of the stack. thus doing much damage.
Loose straw about the stack should
also be kept cleaned up at all times.
Stock will trample this under foot and
SO spoil 1t for feeding and bedding pur-
poses.

writer was informed five years ago
by one of the best growers that he
had a ten year contract with lead
ing New York city hotel, which
agreed to take every first class melon
he raised. This particular case Is
cited in order to display the keen de-
mand which exists among high class
hotels and restaurants for this variety
Of melon during the season in which
1t Is on the market.
The high prices which these mel
ons command, and their restricted
production Notwithstanding the high
prices, are doubtless due to the fact
that greater skill is demanded and
closer attention to details is neces-
sary to success than when other va
rieties are grown. Furthermore, glass
sash and frames are needed Then
again the, Montreal grover confident
ly believes that this particular sort
of melon lcan be successfully grown
only on certain types of soil on the
island of Montreal. This belief seems
to have this much basis in fact, that
while occasionally grown elsewhere
high favored melons have not COM
monty been produced save by Mon
treal growers, indeed flavor has u.s.
ually been lacking.
The crop Is remunerative one,
when conditions favor. From $500
to $4,000 per acre are not unusual re-
turns. Mr.. U. 8. Blair estimates an
average crop at s2,250 per acre, with
operating expenses, including inter-
est on investment and depreciation,
Of $500. One grower informed the
writer that his average sales from
seven to eight acres was in the
vicinity Of $4,000.
These melons vary greatly in size
The writer was informed by one com.
mission house that 1t had purchased a
melon weighing Al pounds; and he
personally saw one weighing %
pounds which had been selected by
the grower for seed purposes.
ne average wright Vi No' neloAs
ranges from 5 to Is pounds, with a
mean weight of about 10 pounds;
that is to say, dozen melons, packed
for shipment, will weigh on an aver
age from 100 to 100 pounds.
There seems to be two distinct
types Of melons under cultivation
one of which is roundish oblate, the
other more or less oblong, the first

ada-SkilI Required.
(By WILLIAM sTuART)

Some time ago the writer in an
article on cultural studies of the
Montreal market muskmelon, showed
that the commercial culture of the
famous Montreal melon is confined
almost wholly to a small group of
growers near Montreal, Canada. It
was also pointed out that, while a
large portion Of these melons were
marketed in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and other large eastern cities
at extremely remunerative prices,
practically no effort was being made
by American gardeners to meet this
demand. More recent observations
have confirmed these statements,
and In addition, have shown that not
withstanding the fact that the Mon
treal growers have for the past few
years received from ten to eighteen
dollars dszen wholesale for their
melons, they have not as yet sue
ceeded in supplying the demand. The

Spreading Manure.

On most farms manure can be hauled
and scattered every month of the year
to good advantage. Especially is this
true where mixed farming is practised.
1t is much better to leave the manure
on the land than in the barnyard or
In piles near the farm buildings. A
manure spreader is wonderful help
In tightening the work OF unloading
and obtaining an even distribution
over the soil.

type being slightly deeper ribbed than
the latter. These two types do not
seem to be separated by any Of the
growers; in fact when the question
was put to a grower as to which
type he selected for seed purposes
his reply was almost invariably that
he selected from both, provided thick
ness and flavor of flesh were salts

terviewed made practise of hand

seed purposes, 1t is not at all certain

Absurd Comment,

Theodore Dresser, the realist, said
of an idealist at the Players club in
New York:
THE mans comments on life are
ludicrous and absurd. They remind me
of the old lady's comment on the work
of the militant suffragettes.
After the suffragettes in London
had slashed Valesquez, Bellini and
a Gentle, the old lady said, with a
kind of sanity expression:
But, thank goodness, they're all
old pictures that are being slashed.'"
