FROM FARMERS MEET:
OVER $50 ARE PRESENT

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. I. e.
Raymond last Saturday, more than
$50 men, women and children were
in attendance at the regular meeting
OF the FROM Equitable Farmers
club. Tables were set under the
trees in the front yard and splendid
feast served by the women of the
club.
B. M. Gle, high school agricul-
turist, gave an interesting talk and
urged the club to keep as far as is
possible all stock through the win
ter so that it would not be necessary
to buy more next spring. He also
asked that the club cooperate with
him in selecting produce for the state
fair exhibit and the county fair.
The club decided to arrange for a
booth at the county fair and in
structed Secretary Raymond to COM
plete the necessary details. Nels
Willet, one of the live members of
this organization, talked interest,"
ingly on matters concerning the well
fare of the club.

Snakes Are Great ras .ers.

Snakes, though at times they gorge
themselves. are great fastcrs. In the
feet long was very small feeder,
though he gained in weight. Taken
there in 1885, he bad only, thirty four
meals during the next, five years., con-
sisting Of small goat or a few rab-
bits. The interval between these meals
varied from % to 204 days. He would
not touch food unless he was in real
need Of it, and it was only by watch
ing and noticing when he seemed to
be uneasy that his keepers could con-
clude that he was hungry. During the
long fast. which was in. 1886. many
efforts were made to tempt or force
him to eat without the least success.

Growing SiIago Corn.

Growing SiIaeo Corn.
Although planting corn four inches
orast in the row for silage has given
the greater yields, the Ohio agricul-
tural experiment station recommends
spacing the plants ten inches apart be-
cause Of greater convenience in han
ding the crop. As five year average
the four inch spacing has yielded
about two tons of green corn per acre
more than the thinner planting, but
the stalks are often so slender that
they fall easily in storms and are din.
cult to harvest when so crowded.
See That Collars Fit.
Farm horses usually begin the
springs work in good condition and
during the early spring and summer
shrink rapidly in weight Collars fit
all right at the start, but soon the
necks are smaller and the collars are
loose, and if the weather is hot shoul-
der trouble begins. Then the "sweat''
pad is put in to fill out the collar to
fit the neck, which it does not do at
all. The draft against the neck re-
mains unchanged, and the poor horse
goes ahead pushing against collar
that does not hug close to the neck.
A good teamster will look to the COL
lar adjustment every morning before
he leaves the stable.

mat she had beIittTed herself BY that.
But he was no longer problem. She
wondered now how he ever could have
been. She recalled that once Jack Fyfe
had soberly told her she would never

one of them.

Before she reached home that self
sacrificing mood had vanished In the
face of sundry twinges Of pride. Jack
Eyfc hadn't asked her to come back; he
never would ask her to come back. or
that she was quite sure. Sho knew tho
stony determination Of him too we'll.
Neither hope Of heaven nor fear of hell
would turn him aside when he had
made decision. If he ever had mo-
ments Of irrcsolution he had successful
~ concealed any such weakness from
those who knew him best. No one over ,
felt called upon to pity Jack Fyfc. and
In those rocked ribbed qualities Stella
had an illuminating fash, perhaps lay
the secret Of his failure ever to stir in
her that ycarning tenderness which she
knew herself to be capable Of lavishing,
which her nature impelled her to lavish

"Ah, WE'LL" she sighed when she camo
