Raised Three Tons Cleaned Pro

duct on Eight Acres.

Joseph Roberts, of Jackson township. passed through Greenfield this morning with two large loads of broom corn. The corn was baled in packages of 25 pounds each and loaded in large hog-beds. Each load contained more than one ton. The crop was raised 011 eight acres and the yie'id amounted to more than three torn, and was sold at $105 per ton delivered in Indianapolis. The broom corn was stripped with a hand stripper, operated by a crank.

Mr. Roberts stopped at the shop of Morford & Cooper as he passed through Greenfield on his way to Indianapolis, and had one of his hor9es shod. In talking about his experience in raising the crop of broom corn, Mr. Roberts said that he did not think he would raise broom corn again for the market that there was too much work and expense connected with it. He said it cost him more than §100 to raise harvest and market the eight acres.

It was not Mr. Roberts original intention to raise a crop of broom corn. He prepared his ground with the idea of raising a crop of tobacco, and sowed the seed in a hot bed to start the plants but they were slow sprout-1 ing and he decided to substitute broom com in the field instead of tobacco. He thinks the tobacco crop would have been the most profitable.

That Cold Room

on the side of the house where winter blasts strike hardest always has a lower temperature than the rest of the house. There are times when it is necessary to raise the temperature quickly or to keep the temperature up for a long period. That can't be done by the regular method of heating without great trouble and overheating the rest of the house. The only reliable method of heating such a room alone by other means is to use a

TOBACCO RAISING PROFITABLE

Cumberland Farmer Devotes Consider

able Attention to this Crop.

The tobacco crop is said to be exceptionally good this year.

He has eight acres and it is said that he expects to get $2000 for the crop.

Special Mention.

They have in addition to samples of their high classed gent's furnishings and clothing, beautiful autumn decorations which attract general attention and admiration of all passers by.

Elliott one of the most successful salesman of Greenfield, and beautifully adorned by decorations, the handiwork of Jesse D. Hughes, who is a popular clerk in this store one of the most modern exclusively clothing stores in Indiana, presents a most pleasing effect.

HOW TO SAVE EGGS.

acK

Salt—They Should Not

Touch Each Other.

Now is the time when eggs are plentiful and reasonably cheap to lay in a supply for the winter when their scarcity sends the price skyward. It is not generally known that there is a simple way of packing faesh eggs that will preserve them for several months.

Buy eggs you know to be fresh, and pack them in salt. Place an inch layer of salt to entirely surround every egg. The eggs must not touch each other in the box. Then pack the box full

of eggs in this manner, each egg being entirely surrounded by salt. Fggs so packed will keep fresh for months. Some housekeepers who have tried to pack eggs in bran or oats have failed because of air reacfting the eggs. The salt packs closely and may get as hard as rock, but yM may easily dig the eggs out witn a table fork. Now is the time when the

Forward Patchen Sold.

Last week A. D. Reeves/ of this city, sold his wonderful young pacing horse, Forward Patchen, to parties in Maine. For about a year and a half "Forward" has been in training at at the Indianapolis fair grounds and within that time has shown some wonderful bursts of speed. The horse will be taken East and next year will be put in a string of horses that will follow the grand circuit. With the training he has already had and under the guidance of some competent driver next year this horse should show good and be able to come home with the money. When asked about the amount of cash he received for his prize winner, Mr. Reeves would not say, but it is understood that the horse brought a good big price.

E. S. Philips, manager of the Lyon Co-operative store at Anderson, and Robert Rooney, the treasurer of the same company, and their wives attended the opening of the Spot Cash Co-operative store Thursday night. Both men are interested in the Greenfield store.

Married Tuesday.

Henry P. Duncan, of near Mt. Lebanon, and Mrs. Sarah Fry, of Greenfield, were married by Rev. J. A. Rhoades at the M. P. Parsonage Tnesday at 4 o'clock. Mr. Duncan and his wife will reside in the country.

IMPORTANT LROAD POINT

Shipments of a Thousand Cars Monthly

With Cash Receipts of $16,000—

Where it all Comes From.

Few in this county know perhaps that the Shirley station is one of the most important, on the line of the Peoria & Eastern or the Michigan divisions of the Big Four roailroads. The shipments of products out will aggregate nearly or quite one thousand cars each month, except during December, Januarv and February. The cash receipts in the same period average about $1,000 per month. Nor does this include the traffic over the New Castle line, which is steadily increasing in volume. The great bulk of this traffic comes from the factories, though the shipments of grain and live stock area considerable factor in the results. For the past six months the shipments of the Creosote company have been twenty to twentyfive car loads daily, many times requiring all the cars a locomotive could haul, and going out by the train loads.

The Radiator Foundry Company requires from four to six cars daily to handle its products out, besides car loads of raw material brought in. The company has also been quite busy the past two or three weeks fencing in its grounds and putting their material in more systematic shape.

The Bottle House, now operating the Woodbury Glass Company, ships out from three to five cars daily, thus contributing largely to the revenues of the Big Four.

Hosek Bros., the Canning Company and the elevator each contribute heavily to swell the railroad's cash account. All this is outgoing traffic. It seems useless to sav it, but the in-

coming traffic is also very large, eon-1 sisting of immense quantities of raw materials for the various factories, also includiug coal for their use as well as for domestic consumption. 1 The traffic there, then, is far greater than is commonly supposed, and will account for the numerous trains and constant switching. The whole contributes to the prosperity of the town to such an extent that but for the factories, Shirley would be "dead as a door-nail."
