burglars opened fire on them, and as
they were both unarmed they beat a
hasty retreat and called up Sheriff
Turner and informed him of the bur
glary. The sheriff with a posse went
Immediately to Sasser with his dogs,
but as the burglars had left town in
a buggy the dogs could not follow

GIRL RAISES PIGS FOR GAIN
At Seventeen, She Is Ambitious to Be-
come Pork Expert-Nearly
Took Prize.

Holtville, Cal.-Raising hogs for
pleasure and profit is the occupation of
Miss Josie Fuller, seventeen, youngest
and best all-around feminine pork pro-
Queer in the Imperial valley. 1t is her
ambition to become the best expert on
hogs in her district. Her herd num-
bers so and is increasing.
"Pig culture isn't esthetic work, Of
course" said Miss Fuller. ''It can't be
considered a finishing school for de-
butantes, but there's money in it."
She has established a record of de-
veloping her porkers for the market at
a cost of 312 cents a pound. She came
within half cent of winning the Uni
versity of California prize, which
would have entitled her to a transcon-
tinental trip. The judges decided she
spent too much time in caring for her
hogs. This was charged up against
profit and cut down her score.

DAIRY
FACTS
VARIATIONS IN CREAM TESTS
One. Of Most Common Causes 10 Differ
ence in Amount Of Water Used
for Flushing.

There are many causes for the vari-
tons sometimes found in cream tests.
Frequently would be better word to
use than sometimes in connection with
this subject, for variations in the tests
may always be looked for. A few of
the causes are here given.
If the milk of herd of cows whose
average test is 4 per cent is separated
so that the cream tests 40 per cent
and the milk suddenly drops to 3.5
per cent of fat, as will often occur.
the cream will then test only 35 per
cent. The amount of fat lost in the
skim milk is not affected to any ap-
probable extent by the richness Of the
milk separated.
One Of the most common causes of
variation in the test of cream from
the farm separator is a variation in
the amount of water or skim milk
used for flushing out the cream at the
end of the run. It is apparent that
especially where a small quantity of
cream is separated, a marked differ
ence in the richness Of the cream may
be made by change in the amount of
water or skim milk added. 1t is an
easy matter to vary pint or more in
the water or skim milk used and this
alone may easily change the per cent
of fat in the cream from 2 to per
cent. The per cent of fat in the cream
may be readily changed, as is well
known, by adjusting the cream screw.
The cream screw, however, is not
changed very frequently and it is moi
the common cause of the variations
in the test which constantly occur and
which causes so much friction between
the buyer and seller of cream.

HERD SUBORDINATE TO FARM
Farmer Makes Big Mistake If He Does
Not Regard Cows as Assistants
or Side Issue.
(By DIR. H. b FAVILLN


The man who doesn't regard his
herd Of dairy cows, be they grade OF
purebred breeding cattle, as the hand.
maidens of the farm, as the assist.
ants, as the side issues of the farm
and which is only a means of building
the farm up to it's highest possibilities,
ought to fail, and he probably will.
For, after ALL it is the farm that
counts, and not the herd that is on it.
1t is the farm that makes the farmer,
and not the herd. In the long run,
take the country through, there will
be no great breeders except those that
are great farmers, because the herd
Is subordinate to the farm and is used
for the purpose Of magnifying the
farm.

and struggled to get free. The frontal
bone of the skull had been badly shat
tered and the lower jaw crushed as
with a blow.
The victim had leather belt. His
head had been wrapped in a newspa-
per which was dated June, 1914, the
exact date being obliterated. The po-
lice took the clippings and memoran-
dunn to the station.
The skeleton found last September
IL also was partly clad in blue serge
suit and wore belt marked "S." The
mans skull also had been fractured.
With the finding of his bones the pO-
lice started an investigation.
Many years ago there lived on this
ground truck farmer whose name
has been forgotten, but who erect
ed a shanty in which he lived. Six years
ago Joseph VerdOne, another truck
farmer, rented the land, coming from
Little Ferry, N. J. Soon thereafter he
was Joined by Mrs. Jenny Seeley,
the wife of a neighbor, who left her
husband. The police allege that See
ley, who lives in Little Ferry, often
came in search Of his wife and fire.
Quently there were brawls at the truck
farm.
Kills Her Companion.
On the morning of July Z, 1912,
Mrs. Seely shot and killed Verdone.
She was tried in the supreme court
of Brooklyn for murder, but acQuit-
ted, on the ground Of self-defense. She
said Verdone was intoxicated, struck
at her, and then dashed for a shot
gun. She beat him to the shotgun and
killed him. After her acquitral she dis
appeared. After that the old farm
had bad name, and was thought by
many superstitious persons in the
neighbOrhoOd to be haunted. Many
contended they heard strange noises
which they attributed to the 'evil spir-
its.'
The police believe the deserted
house may have been used as a rendez-
vous for murderers and thieves oper-
ating in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and
that not only were persons lured there
and murdered but that bodies MUIR
dered elsewhere were brought there
and buried. Captain Carey said he
would make a thorough investigation,
and while the excavations were going
on would post special guard to watch
for bodies.

Waukesha, Wis.-While boating up
the Fox river a five-and-a-half pound
black bass jumped into the rowboat of
Lloyd and lone Thomas, aged ten and
twelve respectively, children of Mr..
and Mrs. e. L. Thomas, and because
of the confusion that followed a seri-

Other fishermen went to the rescue
of the children. 1t has been reported
that on at least six different occasions
this fall fish have jumped into boats
on the Fox river.
They become frightened, it Is said,

they are unable to see at a distance

worth $2,75O more than that Of bull
that produced no increase, If butterfal
is worth 80 cents a pound.
Since the value of the bull can be
determined only by the milk and but
ter yields of his daughters, farmers
are advised not to sell the dairy sire
until his daughters have been tested.
Buyers should not discriminate against
an old bull if he has some high-pro-
ducing daughters, for his value cannot
be determined until he is at least four
years old.
