Antotn Helmers , one of the oldest and best known German farmers liv- ing in south York county , was found by his son hanging to a tree in the yard at the old home southeast of Mc- Cool Junction. Mr. : Helmers lived on the old homestead for years , and was most highly respected and loved. For the last three years he has been living a part ofthe time at the York county farm where he paid his board , and . part of the time with his son , Charles Helmers , who now occupies the farm. He was 84 years of age , and left no explanation. Boy Dragged to Death. - An 11-year-old son of Fred Royal , . residing near Palmyra , started for home from the field with a team of . mules. He had the lines about and under his shoulders. A passing auto- mobile frightened the team and they whirled and ran over the boy , thus wrapping tightly about the body the heavy leather lines. They dashed down the road , dragging the boy. They ran three-quarters of a mile be- fore being stopped. When the team was stopped it was found that the boy was dead , his scalp being torn off and his skull crushed. " Plumber Dies of Burns. M. Williams , the Norfolk plumber who was burned by matches which were ignited in his 'pocket when he fell on his hip , is dead. He was was hunting a cool place to sleep in the woodshed when he fell. A bottle of alcohol in his hip pocket-broke and the fluid was set ablaze , cooking his body horribly. " ' 3IcTntyre Acquitted. Wednesday evening the jury in the murder case at Mullen : returned a ver- dict of not guilty , making McIntyre a freeman. Thedefendant , with his wife and twin babies sitting beside him throughout the day , was perfectly calm and unmoved during the whole day's proceedings. Only when shak- ing hands with the jurors did McIn- tyre show any emotion. Then tears streamed down his face. _ No Game Fish Are Found. Only one bass and several little apples were found in Florence lake r.nd other neighboring ponds when the game warden from Lincoln exam- ined the lakes for game fish Wednes day. The waters were literally alive with bullheads , it was reported , but the game fish evidently had all dis appeared with the falling of the wa- ters. . .P Dismisses Complaint. The case filed a few days ago by La- bor Commissioner W. M. Maupin against J. Samish , proprietor of a mil- linery store at Beatrice , charging him with violating the state female labor law in the employment of two milli ners , was called in county court and dismissed by order of the governor.

I Man from Texas Appears in Tecumseh to Establish His Identity. John , Wilson , Jr. , of Houston , Tex. , a claimant for the property of the estates of the late Judge and Mrs. John Wilson , of Tecumseh , arrived in Tecumseh to make his claim in a legal way. Judge and Mrs. Wilson left an estate estimated be worth $ 30 , 000 , which was to go to their son , should he come to Tecumseh and claim it be- fore July 1 , 1910. The son left home many years ago , following a % quarrel with his father , and , although the pa- rents spent a great deal of money and made trips to Scotland and Alas- ka looking for the son , they died without realizing their greatest heart's desire , that of seeing him once more. Following their deaths , which oc curred near each other four or five years ago , several claimants appeared for the estate. The John Wilson , of Houston , has declared that he would not come to Tecumseh , but his wife has been prevailing upon him and has evidently persuaded him to do so. EMERSOX GIVES HEAVY BAIL Man Accused of Passing Forged Check Gives $4,000 Bonds. James W. Emerson , alias Martin : , gave bail in the sumof _ $4,000 at Fre- mont Monday and was released. He was arrested May 28 on the charge of passing a forged check purporting to be signed by Hilliker & Schlicher for $493 , on the Commercial National bank. When searched at the jail nearly $6,000 was found on him in bills of large denominations. The county court fixed his bail on prelim- inary examination at $2,500 , which he immediately gave. He was again ar- rested , released on habeas corpus , but held on'an application for additional bail. The supreme court sustained the district court and fixed his bail at $4,000. ' . Peculiar Accident. While hunting a cool sleeping place in the woodshed at 1 a. m. , A. M. Williams , a plumber at Norfolk , fell on his hip , Igniting matches in a trouser pocket , which set his clothes afire. From his waist up his body and face were seriously burned , the cloth being cooked into the flesh. Nails in the pocket caused the match- es to ignite. Engineer Badly ; Scalded. Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha passenger train No.6 , due in Sioux City at 12:30 p. m. Sunday , was delayed several hours , and Engineer Dan Murphy : , better known' "Dad" Murphy : , of Omaha , was quite badly injured when the driving rod of the engine broke while the train was running at full speed two miles south of Bancroft. Electric Cars to Dakota City. Dakota City citizens have nearly completed raising $2,000 to provide for the electrification of the Sioux City , Crystal Lake and Homer rail- road , so that cars can be operated to that city. Arrangements with the Sioux City Service company to supply electric power have been made , and wires will be strung in a few days. f _ Fatal Automobile Accident. O. W. Palmer , who was injured in an automobile accident , died at Spald- ing. Mr. Palmer , with a party of friends , was returning from Peters- burg Friday , when he lost control of the machine and it went over a 20- foot embankment. The car landed on top of him , the steering wheel striking him on the chest. Asks Removal of County Attorney. Mayor C. M. Hurlburt of Fairbury has asked the governor to remove from office County Attorney F. L. Rain of Jefferson county. In his com- plaint filed with the chief executive Mr. Hurlburt alleges that the county attorney not only refuses to prosecute persons charged with being drunk , but defends them in court. Chadron Improvements. Several large oulldings are in course of construction in Chadron. More buildings have been erected this . . . , year than in any previous year of its his- tory.

' . n . 1 r . 4y Keeping Ground Free From Weeds and Making Mulch of Dry Earth Natural 1 Moisture Can Be Conserved. More harrowing and less water on the land will produce the best results in upland orchards. Thinning the fruit to secure uniformity in size and to prevent over-production , thus as- suring crops yearly , is also essential , writes Prof. Cyrus L. Smith , insti- tute lecturer of Eastern Washington , In Colorado Fruit Grower. By keeping the ground free from weds and har- rowing once a week during the grow- ing season , thus making a mulch of the dry surface earth , the natural moisture can be conserved sufficiently to grow fruit that will command the best markets. When the season Is a favorable one a great percentage of large apples may be grown with little cultivation , but the grower who neglects to cul tivate well every year will often fail to secure marketable fruit during the very seasons when prices are the best. The most successful orchard- Ists are those who give thorough cul- tivation each and every year. Last season was 'the dryest for many years , and yet wherever the cul- tivation was thorough and intelligent the results were satisfactory. In fact , the size and quality were without ex ception a fair index of the method and : the thoroughness cultivation. In one orchard 16 years old we se cured more than 60 per cent. of four- tier apples of such varieties as Bald- win , Greening , Spitzburg and Ben Davis. This orchard was plowed early in April. The plowing was done deep in the center of the rows , eight to ten inches , and four to five inches close to the trees. The ground im mediately around the trees was then 'dug over with a mattock , then disked crosswise of the plowing twice , then run over with a clod crusher , then harrowed. Afterward it was har- rowed every week from May 1 to August 15 , altogether making 19 cul- tivations at an expense of $6.50 an acre for man and team and two dol- lars for hand work , or a total of $8.50 an acre. While this might seem somewhat expensive and intensive , the results more than justified the economy of the continual cultivation ; as in an- other [ orchard where all the conditions were the same and the cultivation was the same except one disking and three harrowings were omitted , saving $1.25 in expense , there was a differ- ence of more than $50 an acre in the value of the fruit. Another orchard Df the same age , the same varieties , the same soil , was disked twice and harrowed twice and produced only ten per cent. of marketable fruit The soil from October to April should be rough and loose to catch and hold the moisture ; from April to October maintain continuously a fine dust mulch over the entire surface. If this is done there will be no weeds , nor any unnecessary loss of moisture. Less than ten per cent. of the or- chards are as well cultivated as they should be. x - When the soil inclines to run to- gether when wet and bake hard when It lacks humus , if barnyard manure is available it is the best and readiest means of supplying the humus or or- ganic matter to the soil. The best method of applying this is by top dressing during the winter season. If the manure is not available use a cover crop , preferably vetch and win- ter wheat. When this is done the . spring plowing can safely be delayed until the first week in May , but not later unless it should be a cold , wet season. Turn under the cover crop good and deep and immediately fol low with a disk twice or three times , then harrow continuously every week until August 15. When a cover crop is to be used , seed it at the last cultivation as near to the middle of August as practi- cable. To secure fruit uniform in size , to prevent overbearing and to obtain an- nual crops , it is necessary to thin the fruit radically. It is better to hire Borne one to do this by the day or hour. Few men have the time to thin their own fruit as it ought to be done. If the pruning has been properly done and the fruit spurs are properly dis tributed over the entire tree , then thinned so the apples will not touch each other , ' there will be as many left [ as the tree ought to carry. The fruit will be larger , better matured , and mr ? h more uniform than when al lowed to grow in clusters. tKI i r -t Success of Dry Farming. The ultimate success of dry farming depends as much on adapting crop plants to dry farm environments as it does to any other factor. The fact that dry farming has succeeded as well as it has with only such crops as have been available - Is one of the greatest arguments for future greater I success , when we shall have had a few years \n \ which to adapt our own , varieties to the climate and soil of the west. ! Wheat in Germany. I Germany , on her soil , thin by na - ture , produced last year 29 bushels of winter wheat to the acre ; while her I spring wheat went a little above 351 I bushels. Oats yielded 59 bushels , po- . , . tatoes 294. . ; ; , - . \ . . . - . . .

We must have moisture , and conserve It ; we must have plants and grow them , and It is worse than us § - less to raise unprofitable crops. Any one of these factors is as indis- pensable as any other , but perhaps the greatest opportunity for the ad- vancement and success of any kind of farming comes from the science of plant breeding. There are known limitations to the amount of moisture that may be con- served ; there is a fixed number of varieties of farm crops from which to choose at any one time , but it would be difficult to fix in mind , or estimate a limit to our power to adapt crops , or to our ability to create new and de sirable farms , says B. C. Baffum in Desert Farmer. What has already been accomplished in plant improve- ment will be realized quickly , others will take a long period of time. The story of the changes which have been made in plants through do- mestication is like a fairy tale. From an annual weed growing on salt sea marshes came our highly devel- oped sugar beet , simply by cultivation and selection. : From another weed , one of the common mustards , has come the turnip , radish , rape , kale , kohlrabi , brussels sprouts , cabbage , broccoli , and cauliflower. This illus- tration is probably the most remark- able one of variation of any single form of plant life. We now have civ- ilized barleys which are as bald as our most strenuous thinkers. We have roses without thorns , fruits without seeds , and even onions without smell. What it has taken centuries to do here- tofore we now do in a comparatively short number of years. It may be said that we have only just begun to breed plants scientifical- ly. Enough has been done to show , not only the possibilities , but some of the certainties of plant breeding. It is as positive a science as mathe- matics. We have much to do to develop suitable varieties for dry farming. We have already learned something of the value of drought resistance and also of the necessity of securing other qualities which make plants more hardy , more persistent and more pro- ductive. That we will be able to overcome certain objectionable fea , tures in plants is positively certain. POULTRY NOTES. . . . / Hens need green food and plenty of it. it.When When a hen is in full laying her comb Is full and bright red. Appetites must be studied. Fowls differ in this as much as do human ' beings. To endeavor to keep a flock on a single-grain diet will soon breed all sorts of trouble. Before one attempts to raise chick- ens in a brooder he should take les- sons from the mother hen. The beginner should spend a year or more in the care of poultry before he can hope to be a learned poultry raiser. There are almost as many ways and methods of feeding and caring as there are localities where turkeys are grown. For stamina In the offspring , and especially In market poultry culture it is best to introduce new blood every year or two. Probably in no line of general or special farming is the working equiva- lent so poor as In the average han- dling of poultry. No matter how small the birds may be , they should have access to some kind of grit. They will begin to pick at it after they are a day old. There is nothing which hinders the growth of the poults more than para- . I sites , which Increase very rapidly when the poults are confined to small areas. One of the most difficult proposi- tions in feeding young chicks is to ! know how to place the feed before them so they can partake of it with- out soiling it In buying stock eitfier pullets or yearling hens should be selected. Where it is Intended to early Incubate the eggs yearling hens would be bet- ter than pullets. Old and young chickens to be sold for market purposes will bring much more if they are confined in close quarters for a week or more and fed heavily during the time. Equipment for properly caring for chicks pays in a very large way. This may consist of brooders , coops , drink- ing vessels , chick feeding coops and numerous other things for the best welfare of the young of the flock. With good equipment poultry keeping may be made a good success. _ Rotten Manure. Farmers often lack the proper amount of rotten manure for melons and cucumbers. By stacking several loads a year in Advance of planting there would be no trouble from this source. Cucurbits planted in rather thin s.oils are greatly benefited by the use of rotten manure applied in the hill or furrow. Nitrogen for Cabbage. Nitrogen is by far the most impor- tant element in producing a crop of cabbage. It should be quickly avail- " able. Top dressing with nitrate of soda is becoming more and more com- mon. Try ; it on + hr early crop. . - - - - " - . \ , , . - - ' ' - - 4 - t3 J . . . . : . . . - ; : ; . - - - . Y . _ .e. . .

Classifications of Paste. - p : lS t e. - , _ are classified ' according to the way ; ; t'k e tIt in which the shortening is wor ed : into the flour : (1) ) Plain or chopped'- . _ . paste , (2) ( ) puff paste , and (3) ( ) flaky - paste. : In the first kind the shorten . ing is worked into the flour with tho- of the fingers knife or with the tips the- . and the water then added. In second the shortening used is butter : and rolled - - out before this is added by an elaborate method of folding and' , - rolling. The flaky paste is made by- combining the two methods. Some cooks use ice water to mixc all pastes , others use this only for- puff pastes. Some use water at about- , the temperature of the room in . which * * the work is done-a room with ai cool and dry atmosphere-but some- old-fashioned cooks who make the- most delicious pies have always : used' tepid water for the mixing. - A good deal depends upon the kind : : of flour used. An article on "Pastry- Flour" in Good Housekeeping says ; . among other things : "It may be- . stated as a general rule that the best , . bread flour is that which takes a. large amount of liquid ; a good pastry- flour Is one that takes a small amount- of liquid. Bread flour is granular to- the touch ; pastry flour is smooth and' . velvety. Bread flour readily sifts- through the fingers ; pastry flour re- N tains the Impression of the hand- Good bread flour is apt to be more- yellow than pastry flour because or the large amount of gluten it con- . tains. When it is claimed that oner- general flour will make both good bread and pastry , be it pies or cake then it is not a sufficiently : good bread' flour. A really good bread flour makes : tough pies and cake , while pastry- flour makes dry , hard , stiff bread. It- . . . . . . is economy to use the two kinds. " \ , , The right proportion of water to flour is half the weight of the liquid : - to that of the flour. A little baking powder is added oft- en to make the paste light. When the flour and shortening are- mingled so that the mixture looks like- meat , each little particle of fat beingr : coated with flour , the water is added - in the making of plain pastry. Pastry should always be rolled in . the same directIon.-from you. Beef Hearts Make Economical MeaL. Buy'a large beef heart and boil Iti . slowly for an hour ; the "ears , " as thee . , .r waste inside part is called , may them ' ! ' be removed with very little of theL , - / good meat clinging to them. Make at . I f/ turkey dressing and fill the cavity drawing a few threads across to pre- . vent ' the dressing from falling out. Place in a pan with the water : lei which it was boiled , and bake another- * hour. Baste frequently as it begin ! to brown , serving hot with vegetable , and gravy. , This is an economical dish when ? , meat is so high. A family of four orf ! five will have as wholesome a dinner t for about 20 cents as roast beef at 25 cents a pound. Apple sauce and ! mashed potatoes are an addition tc . . this meat. Another way of using heart Is to cut ; slices crosswise about an Inch thIck : and cook them as you would heef steak. The small end , the first fatty * ' , - slice , and the bits trimmed from tha- I "ears" can be used in making haahV croquettes or soup meat. . / Delicate Pudding.
