thing Of sensation in the manner in
which they have used pclts this fall.
Furs are really good investment, not
only for their sheer beauty and warmth
giving qualities, but if one is the proud
posscssor OF a luxurious fur, it is apt
to increase even in value, while the
wcarcr is deriving the benefits thereof.

from the highway. This plan has
proven an effective means of advertis-
ing and lends an attractiveness to the
farm that would otherwise be lacking.
The pastures are skirted by native
timber, providing ample shade and
adding to the beauty of the landscape.
Valuable Asset.
Neatness and order in the farms
appearance is regarded as a valuable
asset. Silos are an important fea-
ture Of the improvements. Automo-
biles are a necessary part Of the
equipment. The whole achievement
is based upon safe, practical methods
and the intelligent use Of good blood,
good seed and crop rotation. The
farms today have more than doubled
the producing power they had twenty
years ago. With these methods con-
tinued what will the producing value
of their acres be in the next twenty
years?
The accomplishment Of Tomson
Brothers is one of the most interest
ing and instructive within our knowl-
edge, considering 1t is the result Of
practical, near-conservative methods
and a continuous faith in livestock
husbandry. With the Improvement of
the farm and herd, Tomson Brothers
have grown in influence. John R., the
senior member, is director and vice.
president of the American Shorthorn
Breeders association, the strongest or
ganization of its kind in America.
Both he and the junior member,
James G., are recognized as expert
cattle judges and their services in this
capacity are in demand in leading
shows from Chicago to the Pacific
coast. The third member, Frank d.,
has been conspicuously identified with
the agricultural press for a decade and
more.

ing as a Professional
Mourner.

Boise, Idaho.-Six times during the
last 10 months an eastbound Union
Pacific train has pulled out of here,
bearing a man who apparently takes
his pleasure sadly. This peculiar in.
dividual gratifes an apparent passion
for travel by acting as official escort
for bodies shipped back East without
relatives or friends to accompany
them.
The man keeps in touch with the
various undertaking establishments at
Boise, and when occasion permits he
offers himself as professional mourn
er. He conscientiously looks after all
details, as regards flowers, transporta-
ton and so forth, and even goes to the
eastern funeral as one of the honored
guests.
For such depressing service the man
is reimbursed with one first-class
ticket to the corpse's destination. He
buys his own meals and pays all other
expenses, which include his own fare
back to Boise.

reproaches fer her and finally went
so far as to beat her. Tired of such
treatment, Mrs. Shattuck finally left
him. She asks a divorce ON grounds
of misconduct and cruelty.
In order that the court may fix ali
mony in the proper amount, she states
that her husband owns an auto worth
$500, has $4,000 on deposit in banks,
holds notes for $500, owns land in Ne
braska worth $1,000. and will soon re-
ceive $4,000 from the estate of a rel
alive.
The case will come up soon before
one of the judges of the district court
on Mrs. Shattuck's motion for a re-
straining order forbidding her hus-
band from disposing of any Of his
property or drawing his money out of
the banks.

wouldn't ride to the top floor.
However, that is what Ward did. He landed o. the fifth floor and
carried his treasure into on of the offices.
"Shfngbeans," announced Ward, calmly. "Theyre three feet long, too"
There was no question about it. The stnngbeans were measured, and
one of them was SO and a fraction of inches in length. Ward claims that

length of "A inches, which he states is a stunning recordbreaker for this

BIRTHS ALL OVER THE PLACE
Farmer Near New Market, DEL, Has
Exciting Night When Stork
Works Overtime.

Glendale, Del.-John Hartman of
ear New Market, had an exciting
time the other night when he was
awakened by considerable noise in the
barn. Hurriedly DOMINIC his clothes,
he rushed down to investigate and
was greeted with a new colt. He had
hardly finished looking it over when
a lowing in the stables began, and go
ing there he was astonished to find a
pretty little calf had arrived. At the
woodshed he found a whole nest Of lit
tie bird-dog pups, and On returning to
his room "a ~astonished to find that
his wife had presented him with a
bouncing baby boy in his absence.

HOT POKER AWES A PUPIL
Pay Fine for Threatening
Big Boy.

Uniontown, Pa.-Miss Mountain,
weighing lis pounds, must pay a fine
imposed on her by a Smithfield town
ship justice because she threatened
to use a red hot poker on J. w. Bar
ger, age sixteen, and weighing $50
pounds, after he had threatened to
duck her in a watering trough.
Miss Mountain ordered Barger to
write a composition. The pupil re.
fused, and threatened to carry Miss
Mountain outside the school and drop
her in the watering trough. The little
school mistress locked the doors,
pushed q poker into the Goals and
heated it red hot.
Now will you write that compost
ton or take a beating with this
poker?" she asked.
Barger wrote the composition. His
parents had the girl arrested.

scented blood lines OF less desirability.
From the first they recognized the
importance of the sire, and their se-
lections have been made with dis
elimination. In several cases, bulls
that had demonstrated their prepo-
tency in other hands were secured,
among them Brampton Knight. whose
get in Tomson Brothers hands were
champion winners at the In~ternation-
al, American Royal and other promi.
nent shows. Tomson-bred cattle, both
in the breeding and fat classes, have
been champion winners at the Inter-
national, American Royal, at st. Jo-
seph, Oklahoma City and various
state fairs. These facts are men
toned here to show the actual result
from the use of good blood and intel
ligent breeding methods.
While the course of economy fol-
lowed was a safe one, controlled
largely by limited finances, yet Tom
son Brothers are of the opinion now
that they would have made large prof
its had they invested several thou,
sand dollars in ~fashionably bred
females for breeding purposes earlier
in their operations. They did acquire
them eventually, but they feel that
they lost considerable time by, not
launching out earlier. They recog-
nize, however, that the best successes
in cattle breeding are made by men
who grow with the business from a
small beginning and learn each step
by actual experience.
Basis of Improvement.
During these years constant atten-
ton has been paid to farming meth
DDS. The use of tame grasses and
barnyard manure is the basis of their
soil improvement. The profits from
year to year were invested in land
and such improvements as were neces-
sary. The original holdings of 255
acres have increased to LOO acres,
and the improvements have been
greatly enlarged and modernized. The
farms have long since been nominally
free from weeds. Alfalfa, blue grass
clover and timothy now abound in
their stead. The soil has steadily in.
creased in producing power.
The Shorthorn herd numbers over
200 head Of the richest lines of breed
ing and is recognized among beef cat.
tie authorities as one of the best in.
dividual herds in the entire country.
This is the direct result of careful,
patient, intelligent management and
not any considerable expenditure Of
money.
While the breeding herd is of the
beef type, the good milking females
are given preference, for experience
has shown that they are usually more
reliable and useful producers. 1t is
generally regarded that hogs should
be a part of the farms live stock. The
Tomson farms are not exactly an ex-
ception, for a few are raised each
year, but the number is small and ex-
perience does not encourage them to
increase the number. The farms are
devoted almost wholly to Shorthorns,
for it has been observed that if there
is room for more stock, that more
Shorthorns best fit into the working
plan.
On n of the Tomson farms, the
main buildings are in the center of a
| n
52O-acre tract. Eight pastures open
out from the b%arnyards, q most con.
venient arrangement. The herd is di.
vided chiefly as to ages in the several
pastures, most of which are In view
