AN "ELECTRIFIED" FARMER
Math Thommes is perhaps
Hie onl J . 01 one of a very few
fanners in this country who is
using electricity for lighting
anil power purposes. There
are gardeners, no doubt, living in the outskirts of the
large cities who use the juice,
but they should be classed as
suburbanites rather than
fanners. Gordon's crew finished putting up the transformers and wiring Math's
house and barn yesterday.
and Hie lights were turned
on last evening. A five horse
power motor for the wood-
saw, cream separator, feed-
grinder etc., will be installed
in a few days.

AN HEREDITARY TRAIT
Christ Schlegel, the Lastrup
liar, was in town Friday and
told us about his good heifer,
which, he says, though she never
freshens, gives milk the year
round.
Several vears ago when the old
log house, just west of the brewery in Steger block, corner Musk-
rat street and Circle avenue, was
still the popular resort for tobacco chewers and yarn-spinners, Christ one day told a crowd
of willing listeners, about this
wonderful   heifer.
Steger, who was oiling his
hand organ in preparation for
grinding out of "Die Wacht am
Rhein" limped to the end of the
bar, and looking at the crowd
over his glasses, said he could
vouch for the truth of all Christ
had told them.
"She inherited her milk giving
qualities," he explained, "J knew
this heifer's mother. Herinother
never had a calf and gave a pail
full of milk twice a day for ften
or twelve years." S

pronounced it the lower   jaw   of

The mound in which tbetx
were found is on the pinnacle
and is used as a shooting stand
by duck hunters. The top of the
mound is hollowed out, making
an ideal shooting stand.
