Tyharst, 44, of Libertyville was driving east on Buckley rd., at 7:30 a. m., last Tuesday when he saw a Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul train approaching the crossing on that highway. Nearly upon the crossing himself, he slammed on his brakes. His car swung around, and the t>jack of it collided with the baggage car of the passing train. * Both the back and top of the automobile were completely demolished, but Tyhurst was unhurt except for bruises. Carl Huffman, Jr., 7, son of Mr. and Mrs. CaiH-Huffman of Harvard, is'rocovering at the home of his parents from injuries received at 8:30 last much as possible.

Successful, turkey growers" are those who keep their turkeys on clean, uncontaminated ground on which chickens have never run. Some growers recommend transferring incubator-hatched poults immediately to a clean brooder house for about six weeks. The brooder house is connected with four separate yards in such a manner that grazing on the yards can be rotated. The yards are about 8 feet by 20 feet and poults are left in one yard about 10 days before being moved to the next. . After about six weeks, they are transferred to a rearing ground arranged in a similar fashion, but with the four lots covering about one or two acres. Another good method of preventing blackhead is to rear incubatorhatched birds in brooder houses with hardware cloth floors until the poults are about half grown when they can "be turned onto . rearing grounds. Some growers prefer to keep the turkeys in confinement on hardware cloth until they are ready for market. It pass to feed in such a way as to eliminate fecal contamination as Little Jerry had just been taken for a walk by a neighbor, during the course of which he'd been bought an ice cream cone. Upon his return, says the Washington Post, his mother asked, "Di4 you thank Mr. Blankenzoop for that?" Jerry rolled his eyes, licked at his cone, and remained silent. Whereupon mother repeated" the question. Still Jerry didn't answer. Finally, exasperated, ' mother shook him. - "Answer me!" she snapped. "Did you thank Mr. Blankenzoop for that cone?" Tearfully Jerry looked at her. "Yes," he finally whispered, "b-bbut he told me not to mention it." " 4 i Shepherd of the Flock "^What's Dick doing now?" "Well, Dick is a stock salesman *' "And William?" r ' . "He's a minister." , "And Tom?" "Well, Tonti is engaged in polltics." v "And you?" . "I'm farming--and feeding Dick and William and Tom." ^ r PLAIN ARITHMETIC tering equipment for this purpose may be purchased or made at home. An adequate ration and plenty of fresh, clean water is needed at all times. It is best to quarantine new birds for three weeks before they are added to the flock. Such measures will not only hold blackhead infection to a minipium, but in addition will largely eliminate trouble from other internal as well as external parasites. Orchard Cover Crop Is Such as Winter Vetch An orchard cover crop is one such as winter vetch or. rye which Jives over winter and starts growth very early in the spring. Cover crops make some growth in the fall and even in the winter, and may be of great value in sections where low temperatures occur and the ground is free from snow for much of the winter. The seeding of cover crops is usually done in the summer or early fall to secure a fairly good growth before winter, according to T. J. Talbert, Missouri College of Agriculture The crop is then turned under early in the spring and the land given clean cultivation. Then an interval of about four to six weeks occurs in most sections, during which the soil is bare or free of a cover crop, after which the soil is usually seeded to another crop. It is true that the growing cover crops may compete with the fruit trees fpr soil moisture and nutrients during the late summer and early fall. But this effect is usually desired because it tends to slow up or check the growth of the fruit plants and cause them to harden their tissues for winter conditions. Annual cover crops are not as a rule deep-rooted and so may not influence deep-rooted tree fruits. Time to Plant Trees Planting trees in the fall is seldom a success unless there is anearly snowfall, advises P. A. Anderson, extension forester, University Farm, St. PauL The best time for tree planting is in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Fall-planted trees usually do not get started sufficiently and often cannot survive the winter. Fruit trees must be protected from mice and rabbits, also. If planting is delayed until spring, the problem of winter protection is eliminated, and in most cases the trees make equally good growth. struck by a hit-and-run driver as the youngster was crossing highway 14 en route to school. The boy was badly bruised and received a severe cut on the back of his head. No bones were broken and no internal injuries have been discovered.

Frederick Ertman, 23-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ertman, of Barrington, waa seriously mjured last Thursday night when a rifle fell from his hands and discharged a .22 calibre rifle bullet into his jaw. He was removed to the Sherman hospital in Elgin where it was found the bullet had passed through the lower jaw, removing several teeth and clipping the tongue and palate. Robins--two of them--were reported with the new year, thereby setting a new record in Marengo. Last year the first robin was not reported until early in February. The ^cranks" are going out» of existence! At least that is true for telephone service subscribers of the Wauconda and Lake Zurich exchanges whose telephones were converted into the new dial system last Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. LaVerne Brisch, 15 years old of Dundee and his brother, Richard, 9 years old, were seriously injured Saturday of last week when the sled on which they were sliding down the hill near the Dundee grade school was struck by an automobile at the foot of the hill. The machine passed over the leg of the older lad, fracturing both bones. His brother was thrown against the- curbing and suffered concussion of the brain and loss of several teeth. Adwalt Hartwick, mailcarrier between Wauconda and Barrington, Saturday night of last week tackled a strong animal that was nosing about his car in the yard of his home. It turned out to be a 200-pound deer. Hartwick discovered the animal when hie went outside to inspect the wiring qf his automobile which had caught fire earlier in the day. He said that the deer did not have a mark on it and tl^t he couldn't understand where it came from. He parked it in the corncrib. Poultry Paralysis Every poultry man whose birds are afflicted with paralysis wants to know what to do about it, for he does want to do something. The truth is no one can tell him exactly because no one knows the exact cause of the disease. All authorities advise, however, and it is common sense advice, to keep the birds in & sanitary environment. They advise isolating the affected birds from the well ones. A further precaution is to give them a worm treatment.-- Missouri Farmer. V Coorult the, "Our three-piece suits are onethird off." . "Then I suppose the two-piece suits are one-half off."
