FEED SORGO.

Feed Sorgo has been known to
mature seed in sixty days. but
under ordinary conditions seven
ty five to eighty days are requir-
ed for it to mature. Because of
it's early maturity, it is a salts
factory crop for growing in the
extreme western part of Kansas
and Eastern Colorado. in. many
respects it resembles amber cane
but differs from it, in that the
stalks are not as juicy or as sweet
and that the grain is free from
the material that makes cane
seed undesirable for feeding pur-
poses. Extracts from letters of
the Kansas Agricultural College
Manhattan, Kansas, under date
Of March 4 1914,
l have a limited amount of this
seed which matured here last
year. when black cane, kafr corn
and milo failed to do so, and as
It grew every day during our hot

Attorney General Light Clears
Doubts on Compensation Law
NO CHANCES B00ZER-M MAN
School Teachers, Policemen and Fire
men Do Not Come Under ProVi-
sions-Refusal to Use Safety
Devices Invalidates Claim.

Willimantic.-Some perplexities OF
the workingman's compensation act
have been cleared away by the opin-
ion of Attorney General John H. Light.
in a manual OF procedure issued to the
State Commissioners of Compensation.
In his opinion, school teachers, police
men and firemen do not come under
the provisions of this law; in fact, all
employees of municipalities except
those defined in the act as work
men" are barred. The man who
'boozes" has no standing under the
act, the ruling reading that while all
injuries sustained in course of employ
ment incapacitating beyond two weeks
are subject to compensation, excep-
ton is made in the case of injuries
due to "willful or serious misconduct
or intoxication." Refusal to use safe
ty devices or disobedience of reason
able instructions may, under certain
circumstances, invalidate a claim. In
case of injury the employer is re-
quired to provide a competent physi-
clan first, and a hospital for the first

regardless of duration. If the EN-
ployer fails to provide this medical
attention the employee may provide it
at the employers expense. If the EN-
ploye refuses such medical service
and provides it himself he must pay
refused to accept the compensation
act must make his report to the fac
tory inspector, as before. Failure OF
an employer to report accidents rem
ders him liable to fine of $500. Any
time after two weeks from date of
injury the employee and the employer
may settle on compensation on Form
H." This will then be presented
for the Commissioner approval, no
agreement being legal without it. Any
settlement between employer and en-
ploye must be in strict accordance
with the act The employer may ad-
vance sums TO the injured employe. to
be deducted at the final settlement. In
case OF death no claim is allowed un-
less death occurs within two wears of
date of injury. For burial. $100 should
h disbursed by the employer, in ac-
cordance with the spirit of the act.
and ultimately burial must be paid
for in full. Appeals may be made to
the Superior Court from the decision
of the Commissioner, and will be priv
LEGGED in respect to assignment for
trial over all other actions, except
writs of haheas corpus and actions
brought on behalf of the State.

School Lunches.

Last winter school lunches were pre-

women of Richmond for some 40 needy
school children. This work was carried
on for more than three months by means
of contribusions solicited from time to
time, at the sacrifice of much time by
those who had the work in charge.
We are confident that many people
will want to contribute to this fund this
winter again. However, no persona So
licitation will be made. The newspa-
pers of the city will accept voluntary
contributions and publish from week 10
week the names of contributors and the
amounts given. These funds will be
turned over TO committee from the
Woman's Club. which will have charge
of all receipts and expenditures:
There are, this winter, about the same

To Farmers And SportSmen.

AS the season for quail shooting end
ed on Jan. l, the attention of farmers
and hunters is directed to the fact that
game birds will need protection in the
event of severe winter. You are ear
nestly requested to assist in this matter
during the periods when the ground is
covered by snow and sleet by feeding
flocks that you know use on your land.
No matter how cold the weather may be
birds will not freeze so long as they can
get plenty to eat. and therefore it be-
hooves all interested in the propagation
of DUAL to see that this protection is
given them. J. ID. Christopher, Fish

Hogs Fattened on Peanuts.

Farm and Fireside prints in its cur
rent issue an interesting article entitled
Peanut Culture in Oklahoma" showI
ing how Spanish peanuts can be grown
in various parts of this country and u.s.
ed as feed for hogs. Finishing the hogs
for market or getting them ready for
butchering for home Consumption has
put the farmers of Oklahoma and in the
semi-arid regions of the Southwest to a
severe test during the past three years.
Owing to dry weather and hot winds the
grain crop during the past season was
nearly failure in those parts of the
country. Hog raisers, finding that they
could no longer depend on the grain
crop to finish their pork, found that
Spanish peanuts met the requirements.
The article continues as follows:
The peanut is one of the best drouth-
resisting crops that can be raised, in
fact it will stop growing and wait for
the rain. The plants will, wilt under
the sun of the day, but will be fresh and
green the next morning 1t is very pro-
ductive and will do we'll on most any
kind of soil, but is well adapted to a
light, sandy loan having clay sub.
SOIL
In the summer of 1911 farmer plant.
ed four acres of peanuts and, althoug h
not a. drop of rain fell for 45 days, this
crop continued to grow, and 40 bushei:
per acre were harvested. In 1912, or
the same kind of land and with half the
cultivation of corn, he gathered rs bush
els or peanuts and 20 bushels of corn pei
acre.
The most profitable way of raising
peanuts is to plant the crop, and aftel
the nuts are filled and matured, cut tn,
hay and cure like clover and let tn,
hogs harvest the nuts.
Last year the writer had small plo
of peanuts, little less than an acre. Or
Sept. Is the vines were cut and six hogs
averaging 90 pounds, were turned on i
to harvest the nuts. On Nov. Is the,
were again weighed and showed a gail
of $50 pounds. equivalent to S5S at tn,
price hogs were then selling for. The,
were then taken off the peanuts and fec
Kaffir corn for two weeks and were rea
dy for market.
While bigger gains and more prof
can be secured by feeding peanuts il
this than in any other way, peanut
alone will not put the hogs in the hes
shape for market, as the flesh will b
soft, and some grain feeding for wee
or ten days is advisable.

Colds To Be Taken Seriously.

Intelligent people realize that common
colds should be treated promptly. If
there is sneezing and chilliness with
hoarseness, tickling throat and coughiag
begin promptly the use of Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound. 1t is effective,
pleasant to take, checks cold, and
stops the cough which causes loss of
sleep and lowers the vital resistance.
