The Poor Old Man.


A Missouri editor has figured it
out that the women do not need any
more rights since a man can't sell
his house and lot without his wife's
consent; he must pay her bills what
ever they are; if he deserts her she
can jug him; if she deserts him he
has to take his medicine; if he jilts
her she can mulct him for breach of
promise; if she jilts him he gets the
horse laugh; if he dies she gets the
property; if she dies he gets the
funeral bills; if he whips her he gets
the whipping post; if she hits him
with a skillet the world concludes he
deserved it. And still she wants
more rights.

Of character are to be found also

BEST Time TO HAVE
THE COWS FRESHEN
More Time for Caring for Animal
and Her Products in Winter
Than in Summer.

CBy c. A. HUTTON. University OF I en-
nessee)
There are several advantages in
having the cows freshen in the fall of
the year instead of in the spring.
There is more time on the farm for
caring for the COW and her products
during the winter months.
Cows will give better yield OF milk
than IL they freshen in the spring. II
they are properly cared for and fed
they win milk well when fresh; then,
when the grass comes In the spring, IL
helps to keep the milk flow. so that the
fall fresh COW will milk better through
out the year than the one that fresh
ems in the spring. The cows will be
dry during the hot summer months.
when pastures are short and flies are
bad. More attention can be given to
caring for the calves, and they will be
ready to turn on pasture In the spring
when grass comes.
There Is more demand for milk and
butter during the winter months, and
the price is higher than in the summer.
II cows are bred so as to freshen IN
the fall, they will give better cash re-
turns from the sale Of their products

Just as the sheriff was about to

heard, and smoke was seen coming
from the courthouse windows. The
officials and spectators. forgetting
their task, rushed to help fight the
blaze. Anyway, Rastus was tied and
could not escape without aid.
During the fire another negro wan
dered into the courthouse yard and
passed the scaffold. He thought he
recognized a familiar form standing
on 1t and proceeded to find out.

Sam mounted the steps and released
Rastus from his bonds. Rastus in
turn prepared the unsuspecting Sam
for hanging. Then he skipped. A few
minutes later the sheriff returned. He
saw a negro standing patiently on the
scaffold. Without further ado he
sprung the trap.
Fortunately for Sam the rope was
old and broke under the sudden strain.
1t rolled Sam into the dust of the
courthouse yard He wrenched his
hands loose and jerked the hood from
his head. Then, rolling his eyes
around and rubbing his neck he said:
