farmers can get even more out Of an
Acetylene installation than anybody else.
Our Dairy farmer patrons make these
Acetylene plants do double work. They
run an extra line of pipe to each barn

these buildings they fasten the great balls

They also equip these lights with igni-

MAN EXPECTED TO CLEAR UP
MISSING BOY MYSTERY

Philadelphia, April Thousands
in the city who have been puzzled for
weeks by the mysterious disappear
ance of seven-year-old Warren Nc
Carrick were in hourly expectation
today that his fate would be cleared
by the appearance of German farm
er, who in letter declared the child
had been accidentally killed and his
body secretly buried.
Written in German, the farmers
letter came to Samuel Ephraim,
lawyer. It declared that the boy tried
to get hoop from under the hoofs
of the farmers horse and was kicked
to death. Then, said the letters, the
body was taken into the farmers
wagon and he, fearing trouble, took
it away and buried it in lonely spot.
The letter said the farmer would
come forward and prove his story if
secured immunity. This has been
promised by police and by James Nc
Carrick, the boys father, and the
clearing of the mystery is expected
at any hour.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.

The farmers OF the Panhandle have
a big crop this year and it should not
be frittered away. Threshed grain
promises to be low in price. Every
farmer should put up enough feed to
last him through the next year should
it be dry one. Stack your feed well,
do not pile it up and expect it to keep
Top it out with some long slough grass
ii you can get it. If you can not get
slough grass, use any good straw or
hay.
Get your feed into the stack or bin
as soon as possible. This will give you
time for other farm operations.
The ground is in fine shape for plow-
ing or listing. You can increase your
yield nextyear by tillinR your ground
this fall. Ground that is listed will
catch most O. the moisture that falls
and hold it. Such ground will winter
through in much better fix. The eggs
Of insects and the insects themselves
will perish and cultivation next season
will be much easier and more effective
II you expect your stock TO winter
through in good condition you should
furnish some shelter for them. On
every farm rock and sand is plentiful
or at least they are not very far away
Stone walls are a good protection in
themselves and then if cheap roof is
provided in the shape Of straw, hay or
stalks the shelter will be very effective.
To build shed of this kind will cost
little more than the labor. Ii will be
one OF the best investments on the
farm Your cows will give more milk,
Jour steers will lay on more fat on the
same feed, your colts and calves will
grow more rap idly and thrive much
better, in fact a shed OF this kind will
pay for itself in one season il il should
happen to be cold, stormy one.
II you want extra early broilers and
early layers next year, now is the time
90 begin 10 lay your plans, Get your
Incubator ready, save the fines, eggs
and above all prepare shelter aud pro.
lection for the young ehix when they
come.
