A NEW DEPARTURE
RCSK COUNTY FARMERS GIVEN
PLEASANT TRIP AND VAL
UABLE INFORMATION
AGRICULTURAL AUTO EXCURSION
Series Of Meetings an Innovation
in Farmers institute Work in
This Section

Monday and Tuesday saw an in
novation in farmers institute work,
in Rusk county at least, when the
agricultural auto excursion was held.
Quite a number of the more enter
prising farmers took advantage of
this opportunity for acquiring new
and valuable pointers in their line
of work, but there should have been
more. In fact, at some of the meet
in5s there were as many city peo-
pie present as there were tillers CT
the soil
Speakers at this series of meetings
were H. d. Griswold of West Sal
EN-, and John d. Imrie, of Roberts.
On Monday, the fine farm just
north of this city owned by Atty. T.
M. Thomas was first visited. A visit
to this up-to-date farm and the fine
| barn Mr.. Thomas erected on it last
fall will give any farmer some val
liable ideas. The raising of beef
cattle was discussed here, with a
splendid herd of Heref0rds at hand
for illustration Of many of the points
made.
The next farm to We visited was
the F. N. Brainerd place, miles
south of Bruce. The party all en-
joyed the visit to this place greatly,
and the dinner served here made a
hit" with everyone. By some over
sight in the arrangements, however,
the autos all came away and left the
speakers behind, at Ladysmith, and
as the telephone line was down no
one knew until afternoon just where
the speakers were. Finally, these
gentlemen, chatting at inaction, en-
gagged a livery auto, and went out
in search of the excursion.
BY this time, most Of the autos
were enrOute to the A. G.. Beebe
farm, one mile east of Bruce, and
here the speakers finally made con-
nections with what was left of the
party. Mr.. GrisWold addressed the
crowd, assembled under the fine
grove and on the porch in front of
Mr.. Beebe's residence, taking as his
topic, "The Dairy Cow" His inter
esting remarks were followed by a
talk by Mr.. Imrie on the advantages
of COW testing associations to the
members thereof, after which Mr.
Imrie spoke on "The value of Al
falfa to the Dairy Farmer" To il
lustrate Mr.. Imrie's remarks on the
latter subject, alfalfa from Mr.. Bee
bes fine field was used. This meet
ing ended the first days trip.
The first farm to be visited Tues
day was J. A. Boyer's place in the
town Of Willard, south of Ladysmith.
Here, Mr.. Griswold spoke on dairy
ing. Mr.. Imrie spoke on the "Value
of Alfalfa in Building up Soil Fer
tility.'
The party then proceeded to the
j. A. Schmidt farm, where a fine
dinner was served Mr.. Griswold
addressed the crowd here on Dairy
Cows" and Mr.. Imrie on DAIRY
Sires.''
The last place visited was the
Helm farm at Tony 'Silos and Sill
age" was the topic Mr. Imrie dis
cussed here and he was followed by
Mr.. Griswold with a talk on "Clean

Spending the Family Income

There is far more money earned
in most families than is wisely spent.
The difficulty is misuse rather than
a lack of income. Too many times the
desire uppermost, at the moment
money is available, is the one graft
fed regardless of the relative impor-
lance of other needs.
To determine how the income shall
be spent is most important. Each
housekeeper should make the divisions
convenient for her, but under the six
headings, shelter, operating expenses,
food, clothing, savings, and the high
err life, one can find place for every
thing.
The first division to be considered
must be shelter-rent or its equiva-
lent paid in insurance. taxes and re-
pairs on the property.
The amount to be spent on operat-
ing expenses, which include fuel,
light, wages, and replacing of worn
out household furnishings, must de-
ptllu ldIBtlg Oll llle SlNt VI NIlt MUST
its location, and the number and ages
of the members of the household.
The next division to be determined
should be savings. Put aside each
month definite amount for the in
evitable rainy day" One should not
wait until he has everything he wants
or even thinks he needs, before be-
ginning to save, nor should be live on
ly to save. As soon as the weekly or
monthly income is available, put
aside the per cent decided upon for
savings.
Food and clothing will not be ne
elected, but the sixth division, the
higher life, under which we include
education, travel, amusement, church
and charity, may be overlooked.

QUEER SCENES OF WARFARE
Large Part of Battle of Monterey, In
the Mexican War, Was Fought
Indoors.

At the battle of Monterey. In the
command the streets of the city with
their artillery. but they experienced
much difficulty in driving the Next
cans from their houses. Accordingly.
as the city was built of stone or adobe,
the Americans broke through the walls
from one house to another, fighting
and driving out the enemy as they
proceeded. Thus it appears. says an
exchange, the battle OF Monterey was
largely fought indoors.
In the time of William the Silent,
when the Netherlands were fighting
the Spaniards, a number of Spanish
vessels became frozen in on the Zuider
Zee. Out came the Dutch on horse
back on the ice to attack the Span
iards. This is probably the only battle
of record where cavalry was employed
directly against a naval force.
There have been battles fought IN
foreground. Choicest of these was the
fierce encounter pertaining to the siege
Of HARLEM in the Dutch wars. The
Spaniards mined and the Dutch coun-
termined with equal industry and be-
low the ground a terrific conflict en-
sued. When, after the commune, the
Versailles troops took Paris, they
chased certain OF the communist
forces to the great sewers of the CAPT
tai. and in these more than one san
culinary battle occurred

One OF the war correspondents has
noted the complete absence of birds
from the battlefields Of northern
France and the consequent profusion
Of spiders and other cognate crawling
things. Birds always desert scenes of
heavy guntire; and, what is more, they
often do not return for many years,
All birds left the theater OF war In
South Africa, and it is only now-14
years later-that they are returning
Meanwhile South Africa has suffered
from yeNatious plague OF ground in

there. 1t is not supposed that the
African birds left the country, but
that they merely retired to some re.
mote and peaceful part of the veldt.

FRANK E. IRWIN DEAD
Accidently Killed With His Own Gun
While Out Hunting

Frank f. Irwin, one of Lamar's pio-
neer citizens, was accidently killed
last Saturday morning while out
hunting rabbits just south of the city
limits.
Ohio Wright, while coming in from
his claim Saturday morning saw
man hanging on the wire fence Just
north of the syphon on the east side
of the road and when he got to town
notified the authorities of his find.
Sheriff Downing and City Marshal
White in company with several ply
sicians Immediately went out to in
vestigate. They found the body of a
man entangled in the wire fence, and
it was presumed that he had under
taken to crawl through and his gun
had been discharged. The charge had
entered his face and disfgured him
beyond recognition, and it was not
until his pockets were examined that
the body was identified as Mr.. Irwin.
Baxter Church brought the body to
the undertaking parlor and Coroner
was empaneled Saturday afternoon,
and after a few minutes deliberatio }
rendered verdict of accidental death
caused by the discharge of the gun IL
his own hands.
Mr.. Irwin was not an experienced
hunter, having only taken up the
sport in the last year or so, and had
formed the habit Of carrying his gun
while out with both barrels cooked,
and that habit was eventually the
cause of his getting killed.
Mrs. Irwin was not aware that he
had gone hunting and was horribly
shocked when informed of the acct
dent by her brother, Dave Kimmel.
The funeral was held at the home on
south Main street Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock and was largely attended
by friends of the family. Rev. Croz-
Ter conducted the services and was
assisted by Rev. Kelly. Mr. Irwin was
a member of the Masons and of the
w. o. w. and both orders were out in
large numbers. The Lamar band, of
which Mr. Irwin was at one time a
member, lead the procession to the
cemetery.
Mr. Irwin has been a business man
of Lamar for the last % years. He
was civil engineer Of marked ability
and took a rgeat interest in irrigation
projects all over the county. His ser
vices were always in demand and 1t
was due to his ability that several
dams and reservoir projects were
made successful.
Mr.. Irwin was born near Cincinnati,
Ohio, March IT, 1861. He received a
good education and taught school in
his younger days. Mr.. Irwin came to
Colorado in 1885. He was at La Jun
Ia a year or so before coming to La
mar during the fall of 1887, and was
Prowers county's first county super
intendent of schools.
Mr.. Irwin was square and honorable
in all his dealings and had the respect
of his fellow citizens. His untimely
death was severe shock to his
many friends. The heartfelt sympa-
thy of the community is extended to
the bereaved widow and relatives.
