FARMER HIS OWN BUTCHER
That Was the Old Fashioned Plan—
and One Writer Considers It
a Good One.
A contributor sayß that, every farm
er ought to make his own meat. At
present, he says, many are buying
.went at from thirty-five to fifty per
cent. ati«v« the cost. The time has
returned, be claims, when it will not
only pay every farmer to raise his own
meat, but to cure It for family use and
for sale besides. He goes on:
"Five million dollars a year spent
for meat that might have been raised
on the farm, and the money kept at
home, is Kansas' record. And it. is a
mistake. It shows we are 'advancing
backward* In some things.
"The good old butchering days of
our fathers ought to return, and with
them a full knowledge of how to cure
the meat in various ways, so when
the 'fresh' was gone, we fahould have
sonio of the finest, most appetite sat
isfying meats on hand the year round.
"Kansas has awakened, and the state
agricultural college is leading by put
ting in a killing and curing plant,
where all students may learn this use
ful art from start to finish. What the
grain growing farmers of the west
have done, the milk making owners of
eastern farms have followed, and to
day there are thousands of farmers'
families that never see a home cured
ham or taste a rasher of bacon or a
slice of Rait pork that Is not got from
the meat dealer.
"Having to spend money for meat,
many families lack a sufficiency of
this Blnew-maklng food, and who may
Bay that not a few failures to make
good on the farm are due to lack of
the nifnt which stimulates?" —Farm
and Fireside.
Freezing Out Hay Fever.
"My hay fever," ho said, "strikes me
on July 2 every year, rain or shine.
On July 1 I goto bed a well man and
the next morning I rise with watery
eyes, a red nnd swollen nose, clogged
up tight. and dry, wide-open mouth
through wlhch I breathe with noisy
wheezes. My liend feels distended. It
feels as though It were being stretched
on a form—like you stretch a shoe or ft
glove, you know."
"Out today—" we Bald.
"Today," he exulted, "I'm cured. To
day for the llrst July In seventeen
years I'm my own man. Cold storage
—that maligned cold storage—ls what
has put me on my feet.
"Tho cure Is simple. Every day or
two I spend an hour In a cold storage
warehouso, wandering In a tempera
ture of 30 degrees, among chickens
and bogs and beeves all white with
frost.
"This treatment seems to freeze the
hay fever out of the system, he same
as It freezes moths out of fur. It has
cured me and dozens of others. I must

The Truly Qreat.
A bride and groom gave a. aide line
of added Interest to a load of sight
seers on a "rubberneck wagon, Bee
lug Broadway," last Thursday after
noon, relates the New York Sun, ow
ing to the fact that the first spat of
their newly wedded, life was well un
der way.
"You seem to be Interested very
much In that man!" said the groom
testily, as the bride looked back with
tense Interest to a man crossing
Leng Acre Square, whom the lecturer
on the wagon had pointed out hi pass
ing as Slg. PeruglnJ.
"Who Is he, any wayT" demanded
the groom.
"He's Lillian Russell's oldest living
ex-husband, that's who he Is!"

A Distinction With a Difference
YOU may not always get what you pay for.
It takes a good judge of values to do that, |
but if there is one sure rule in business it U
is—you pay for all you get. You may not be
able to see the difference between engines of
similar appearance at different prices, but if
you buy from a reputable firm you may be sure
the difference in quality is there.
IH C Oil and Gasoline Engines
cost more than some others because they are
more carefully made, and more thoroughly
tested. Skillful designing, better material,
better workmanship, more careful assembling,
and more thorough testing, tell in the long
run. Given equal care an IH C engine costs
less per year of service than any other engine
you can buy. If an IH C engine is given all
the work it will do, pumping, sawing wood,
running the grindstone, feed grinder, hay press,
silage cutter, repair shop machines, cream
separator, churn, washing machine, etc., etc.,
it will pay for itself in a very short time in
money ana labor saved.
I H C engines are made in every style—
horizontal, vertical, air and water-cooled,
stationary, portable and mounted on skids, to
operate on gas, gasoline, kerosane, naphtha, dis
tillate or alcohol, in sizes from 1 to 50 H. P.

Kaw Indian Chief Remembered.
Henry Bluejacket, a celebrated Kaw
Indian chief, visited central Missouri
In 1833. He spoke English well, was
gentlemanly and agreeable in his de
portment. He was physically large
and handsome. Ills dress was a loose
sack hunting Jacket of blue cloth with
fringed buckskin leggins and moc
casins and a foxskln cap. Contrary to
the usual custom among Indians, the
Kaws usually wore caps on their heads
made of fox, coon or wildcat skin.

"I suppose every man's friendship is
worth having?" said the young man
who is studying politics. "Cherish not

owing to the fact that when you ac

everybody who doesn't approve of
