It Is in a small, glassed-in shelter house, miles away from the nearest mountain resident, Miss LIndsley maintains a vigil over the forest reserve, where th'ere Is a stand of three nnd a half billion feet of timber, valued at $ 1 0jX.0 ). On tne slope of the peak, and in the protected shelter of the dwarfed, twisted and deformed pines is a small, one-room, rock cabin, which serves as n home for the lookout.

The body of August Kaufman, automobile' tourist from Pasadena, Cab, was found on the desert r0 miles west of Congress Junction, 40 miles south of here, by Mohave county officers. The man had perished from thirst and exposure, after wandering for 72 hours In search of water. Kaufman, with his wife and three children, was traveling overland from Pasadena to a little ranch In Pinal county. He took a short cut between Yucca and Congress Junction. The supply of water became low, uo Kaufman left his car and started afoot in search of a fresh supply. For 48 hours the wife and three children remained in the machine awaiting his return. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ruddy, eu route from Yucca to their ranch near by, succored the stranded family. Searchers for Kaufman traced him from his car to the spot where the body was found. In his travels, he had passed within 50 yards of an artificial reservoir of water for sheep and cattle, the searchers said. Moreover, it developed that Kauf-

"The first time we cut Donald's hair he was two years old. I took the scissors myself and trimmed his hair to the ordinary length," said Mrs. Dietsch, mother of the youug Samson. "We almost lost him that time. He was taken ill almost immediately, and it was days before he recovered. He never regained his strength until his hair grew hack again. "The second time we tried to cut Donald's hair he was in school and was about seven years old. He was so sick that time that we had to take him out of school. The illness is of a peculiar nature. Donald loses his strength and gets a high fever. Then he loses all interest in things and falls into a stupor. About a year later we tried for the last time to trim off the ends of his hair, but even that made the boy sick for a week. "After the last illness we took Donald to Doctor Zaiser in Burlington. When he examined the boy and after we explained how his sickness followed immediately upon the shearing of his hair, the doctor said the lad's strength was in his hair and warned us against cutting his hair until he was of age."

CRIMSON CLOVER IS AID TO SOIL

Crop Is Usually Sown After ä Grain Crop and Is Ready for Hay in Spring. MOST EXCELLENT AS LEGUME Plant Does Not Withstand Extreme Heat or Cold and Is Best Adapted to Soil Not Very RichMethods of Seeding. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A large part of the value of crimson clover lies in the ability which It shares with other clovers to utilize the nitrogen of the air and add It to the soil, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. When encouraged to do this, crimson clover is a valuable soil Improver. If it is planted on rich land It will utilize the nitrogen already present in the soil and is not stimulated to contribute anything to its own support or to the support of other crops. Crimson clover is n winter plant of the true clover group. It is also known as scarlet clover, French clover, Italian clover and (lerman clover. It is the only annual true clover th:t is of more than incidental agricultural importance in the eastern United States. It owes its place in the crop rotation of the Atlantic coastal plain to the fact that it can be planted when the land is not occupied by ordinary summer crops. The many ways by which this crop may be utilized are discussed by plant specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture in Farmers' Ilulletiu 11-12, "Growing Crimson Clover." An Early Importation. Though it was brought from Europe to this country in 1S18, its value as a forage plant was not recognized until about 1SS0. The plant does not withstand either extreme heat or cold, and is best adapted to a soil that is not very rich and to a climate where the winters are not severe. Ordinarily it cannot survive the winter in latitudes north of southern Pennsylvania, while in some of the southern states It is frequently killed by dry, hot weather in the fall or spring. Its growth is comparable to that of winter wheat. Planted in the fall, it lies more or less dormant throughout the winter and completes its growth in the spring. If the summers are not too hot it can sometimes be planted in the spring and grown as a summer crop, but for this purpose other clovers are usually preferred. Corn in the summer with crimson clover in the Clovers Harness Atmospheric Nitrogen and Store It as Food in the Plant Roots. winter is a eheap and convenient method of growing a cah crop and a soilimproving crop in the same year. The reputation of crimson clover as a crop Inereaser is largely based on this simple rotation. Instances are by no mrans rare where the yield of corn has been gradually increased from ten bushels to as high as seventy bushels to the acre by this means. Seeding Crop of Clover. Crimson clover may be seeded in practically any of the cultivated truckcrops, which receive their last cultivation from eight to twelve weeks before the first frost. It is not wise to seed clover in late potatoes, sweet potatoes or other root crops, as the digging In the fall practically destroys the clover. Neither does it do well when sown into eowpeas. sorghum or watermelons, (twin: to the heavy lmde east by tlioe crops.

FOWLS REQUIRE GOOD CARE DURING SUMMER

Poor Economy to Neglect Hens During Rush Work. If They Cannot Be Given Free Hange It Will Bs Necessary to Furnish Ample Supply of Green Feed Give Some Milk. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In the rush of summer work the hens often are neglected on many farms. Tills is poor economy, because the care they receive will determine to a large extent the profits to he realized. The poultrymen of the Department of Agriculture advise that hens be given free range, if possible, during the summer months, and if they cannot he given free range that as much green feed be furnished as they will readily consume. Milk is, excellent during the summer months. Ituttermilk also may be used, oivseml-solid buttermilk if the regular buttermilk is not obtainable. The department advises feeding about equal parts of scratch grains and of mash for the average during r n mmkm moo m U Hens on Free Range Do Not Need as Much Grain as Those Closely Confined. the year, but the pullets will not eat the dry mash freely in the fall, so that It Is necessary to feed them about two parts of scratch feed to one part of mash, reducing this to about equal parts of mash and scratch feed February 1, and still further reducing the scratch feed about June 1 so that the hens will eat nearly two parts mash to one part of scratch feed. Feed scratch grains lightly in the morning and give a full feed In the evening, feeding roughly about three times as much scratch grains in the evening as in the morning. Different flocks will consume different amounts of feeds, but roughly the following amounts should be fed: Pounds of Scratch Feed to 100 Hens.

All parts are by weight. SUNFLOWER GOOD AS SILAGE Becoming Popular in Northwestern Sections Where Corn Is Difficult to Grow. The use of sunflowers for silage has proved popular in certain of the Northern Great Plains and Inter-Mountain states where it is not possible to produce a large tonnage of corn for silage purposes. In some sections the silage made from sunflowers has been found to compare favorably In palatnbillty and feeding value with silage made from orn. This is not always the case, however, as it appears that In certain irrigated districts in the Northern Great Plains where the growth of sunflowers is rank and succulent, the resulting silage is often not very palatable. Kxi?riments reported from the Huntley experiment farm In Montana of the United States Department of Agriculture show that while it Is possible to produce from 2." to 00 tons of sunflowers per acre, it has been difficult to produce a silage that is as much relished by live stork as corn silapo, which glve rather less than half as much tonnage per. acre. CARING FOR STUBBLE LANDS Turn as Soon as There Is Sufficient Moisture Convert Weeds Into Needed Humus. Oats and wheat stuhhle that h:ive not been turned should he turned as soon as there is .suflicient moisture. Get rid of weeds by converting them into humn to improve your soil. If wheat i to be uvn on oat fields the land should be turned as soiu as possible. If a spring crop is to follow wheat, break as soon as you can to check weed- and get the land ready for the next crop. The "blow sands" had probably best be left till spring.
