SWIFTON.
NO. 3 NEAR WRECK.
On Sunday evening southbound
fast mail train, No. 3, due at Swif
ton at five o’clock, ran over a cow
at the Switch north of town and nar
rowly escaped derailment. The body
of the animal was wedged under the

MAMMOTH MUSKMELON.
R. P. Sharp raised in his garden a
large muskmelon on a volunteer vine,
'which is something unusual. The
melon weighed nearly twelve pounds
and the flavor resembled that of the
famous Rocky Ford melon. The
! melon was oblong in shape and was
nearly as large as a water bucket.
EGYPTIAN COTTON.
Rev. M. A. Fry has some Egyptian
cf tton, which he planted as an ex
periment. This cotton is not appar
ently adapted to this climate as the
plant is too long in fruiting. The
bloom is a bright yellow and the
leaves, while plainly showing the
plant to belong to the cotton specie,
are of a peculiar shape. The plant
grows tall and slender, and accord
ing to reports is adapted to a hot
climate and responds readily to irri
gation, practically all the cotton
crop in Egypt being subject to irri
gation. Some of this variety of cot
ton is grown in Arizona, where it is
watered.

Try Bolting Dishes together
until Airtight
Break? Of course they will break.
So it is with cast stoves or enamel stoves. If you
bolt tight enough to make tight, you break it. If
you do not bolt tight, you waste heat and fuel and
never can depend on the oven.
Then how are cast and enamel ranges made
tight? By bolting loosely, then filling the cracks
with stove putty, or cement, as it is now called. It
is tight, all right—while new—before it is fired up.
But after being put to work the putty dries, drops
out and the cracks ruin the working qualities of the
stove.
Then after a year or so they are
rickety and rackety and wobbly and
they give you a sickish feeling every '
time you cook on them.
; Malleable iron can be riveted and
hammered until it is tight as a steam
| boiler. And it stays tight. Try
bending or riveting a piece of enamel
J or cast and see what happens.
Pay the price—get the good kind
—and if you want the best—buy a
Copper-Clad—the range that can’t
rust out. ,
