He was here last winter and visited for a week or ten days. Mr. Cox will not go out for the funeral as- it is so far he could hardly get there in time. The deceased was quite old and had lived there for a good many years. Some two years ago a certain editor of Jackson tp., Newton county, got wise and sent in a very flowery report to the postoffiCe department with the avowed intention of making the rural barrier out of here lose his job, hut was disappointed, 'and now aonther wise guy, a patron of the route, has likewise, endeavored to do the same thing, and in his report he has made charges that unless he makes a retraction will probably be aired out in the. circuit court. When people go into these things they must be sure they can prove what they report. Experience is a good teacher, but sometimes proves to be an expensive one.

CHARGES BURNS USED DYNAMITE

Structural Iron Worker Confesses as an Aid. BLOW AT UNION IS ALLEGED ■. i Men of National Erectors' Association Are Accused of Plotting to Injure Iron Workers' Union— Detective Makes Denial. Pittsburg, May 19. That he has been in the employ of Detective W. J. Burns of the National Detective Agency is the claim advanced by James Elliott of 2349 Bedford avenue, a structural iron worker. He made an affidavit at the Labor Temple before the officers of the Structural Iron Workers’ Union, in which he implicated Detective Burns, Walter Drew, a New York attorney and secretary of the National Erectors’ Association; John Buehey, local representative of the National Erectors’ Associar tion, and William Tanney, owner of a local detective agency, in dynamiting plots. The sum of Elliott’s confession is that Detective Burns was employed by the National Erectors’ Association to destroy property belonging to them which had been erected by non-union labor and do it in such a way that it would appear to have been done by union men. The object of all the dynamiting cases was to arouse the people of the country in such a way that the Structural Iron Workers’ Union would be injured. His statement is that the National Erectors’ Association, through. Detective Burns, is responsible for almost all the dynamite outrages that have been committed throughout the country for the last three years. Elliott says that he never saw any Of the plots executed, but that it was his work 10 show where to place the dynamite for the worst effects. Elliott was taken to the Central police station by Detective Roach, where he is being detained until some further investigation can be made of his story. Following the statement at the labor temple, Elliott made another one at the police station covering the same ground. The first statement was made before William J. Kelly, president of the Iron City Trade Council; H. A. Ashton, A. L. Collins, secretary of the Structural Iron Workers’ Union, and H. W. Legleitner, vice preisdent of , the International Association of National Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. Denied by W. J. Burns. Chicago, May 19. —William J. Bums said that he never heard of Elliott and laughed at the idea of his being implicated in a plot to ruin McNamara.

The boards are put on horizontally when the house is covered with paper and are placed to overlap the floor four inches. The building is inclosed with seven-eighths inch matched siding, planed on one side, which is turned in. The boards for the sides and root are cut in eight foot lengths and the ends boarded vertically. thus using sixteen foot stock without waste. The chick outlet is made through a trapdoor cut in the floor at the edge of the front runner and at the outer edge of a middle 2 by 4 inch joist. A runway with cleats, supported at the upper end of the 2 by 4 Joist, leads to the ground at the edge of the house. The back of this runway is closed with boards to keep the chicks out from under the bouse. No Excuse For Ignorance. An aged farmer at an extension school of agriculture recently said: “I am glad to be able to learn so much about farming, but it makes me sad to think that it comes too late in life to do me any good. If I had only known these things years ago I would have avoided so many mistakes and done so much better.” It may be sad to contemplate benefits that come too iate, but it is sadder still to think of the young men who do not try to avail themselves of knowledge that is placed before them. There is no longer any valid excuse for ignorance of the fundamental principles of farming. Agricultural experiment stations, extension schools, institutes, bulletins and papers are within reach of every farmer in the land who really wants to learn.

General Farm Notes.

A good way to avoid the credit system Is to grow the living at home. It Is usually possible to grow the most expensive, yet the most necessary, articles of food on the farm. At our present rate of deforestation fuel and fencing materials will be very scarce within a few years. Plant waste lands in forest trees to supply the timber required on the farm. Diversified farming is adapted to the man who does intensified thinking. The intensive thinker is always a success as a farmer or in any other occupation where his talents lead him. Johnson grass bay is a product that will enable you to meet the demand of your animals for roughage. Johnson grass is a splendid crop and should be kept where it is wanted. Keep up with your work in saving and applying the manure from your animals. The amount and kinds of food that will be available for them next year will depend largely upon the manure applied to the farm. The flower garden and the lawn do not add to the profits of the farm, but they give pleasure and contentment to the manager and his family. Ornamental plants do much to endear your sons and daughters to the homestead. If you have not enough moisture in your soil to germinate fall grains hav< the land ready and sow early in the spring. Spring oats often yield well; and when sowing can not be done in the fall the next best thing to do is sow in the spring. Invite the business men with whom you trade to come out to the farm and pay you and your family a social visit. The presence of the city bred men will give you higher ideals, and your country hospitality will do them good. This will broaden your view of life and enable you to enjoy better business relations with city people. • i
