FARMER
INSTITUTE
Interesting Evening
and Afternoon
Meetings
Time Taken up With Diocuisions of For
age Crop Growth and Home
Economics.
Saratoga and Encampment saw
their firs* Farmer’s Institute last
week. The bad weather prevent
ed many people from coming out.
Those who did come expressed
themselves hb well repaid.
This is a new line of work that
is being conducted cooperatively
by the University of Wyoming
and the Federal Department of
Agriculture. Because of the new
ness of it the people here did not
understand the nature of the work
or the purpose of holding the
meetings. For this reason many
ranchers were skeptical and would
not come out.
While these meetings are called
Farmers’ Institutes those who at
tended the meetings discovered
that the subjects discussed per
tained almost exclusively to stock
raising and the production of for
age crops. The women bad tbeir
private meeting at which ques
tions pertaining to the home were
discussed. We could, therefore,
more properly call these institutes
a ‘‘Ranchers’ and Home-makers’
Conference.”
This is the last important stock
and agricultural section nf the
stale to receive the attention of
our State and Federal agricultural
extension workers. This is en
tirely due to lack of interest on
the part of the local people.
At Saratoga, while there were
only eleven people present in the
afternoon, there were some inter
esting discussions on sheep feed
ing by Prof. A. D. Faville, rais
ing of alfalfa by Prof. A. E. Bow
man, and silos and silo crops by
E F. Burton. Miss Kolshorn
talked on home canning of meats
and vegetables with the ladies.
Many questions were asked dur
ing the meeting.
In the evening there were about
thirty people present. Prof. Bow
man explained the purpose of ex
tension work, setting forth the de
sire of the Btate and Fedeial au
thorities to bring expert informa
tion to the ranchmen and farmers
and their wives in local aommuni
ties. He also explained county
agent work.
Prof. Faville talked on stock
feeding and breeding. Mr. Bur
ton briefly took up the subject of
dairying.
At Encampment the meetings
were well attended. Fifty live
ranchmen and their wives w’ere
present in the afternoon. Above
eighty attended in the evening.
The discussions were so interest
ing that the people stayed till 5:30
in the afternoon and till 10:20 at
uight. The ladies were so well
pleased with the results of the
meetings on Friday that they per
suaded Miss Kolshorn to give an
other demonstration {Saturday.
She consented and 53 women
were in attendance.
Big Ranch Deal.
C. D. Terwilliger, who owns a
big stosk ranch on Cow creek
south of Saratoga, closed a deal
Saturday for the Sears ranch on
the same stream. The deal in
cluded everything except a few
thoroughbred cattle and some hor
ses. W. E. Sears is one of the
old timers of this valley and it
comes with some surprise, at this
time, of bis selling out, as many
considered Mr. Sears too much
attached to his line ranch and cat-1
| tie to sell.
The ranch contains nearly 1700
acrea and there were over 600
head of cattle, with one of the
beat summer ranges in the valley.
Mr. Terwilliger made a jjood deal
when he secured bo valuable a
piece of property and it ie safe to
Bay that the consideration was
close to $100,000.00. This tfives
Mr. Terwilliger one of the big
gest individual ranches and stock
business in the valley, and be has
already proven himself to be a
verj successful man in this line
of business.
Mr. and Mrs. Sears and Mr. and
Mrs. Stewart McPhail will prob
ably remain this summer but may
seek a new location this fall, but
as yet no definite plans have been
reached.
An Unpardonable Sin.
No doubt every reader of this
article knows what it is to have
some person that claims your
friendship deceive you, and by
this false pretension of friendship
rob you of what is dearest to you,
the one you love. To our mind
this is one of the unpardonable
sins, a crime that every liberty
loving man and woman should set
their seal of disapproval upon.
This is one of the many inter
esting happenings in the “Hand
of the Law,” to be given at Jen
sen Hall, Friday, May 5, by the
home talent troop, for the lyceum
benefit.

Cuts Out Small Schools.
Mamie E. Doherty, county su
perintendent of schools, this week
received notification from the
state superintendent informing
her that in compliance with a re
cent ruling of the attorney gen
eral no school that has less than
six scholars for the entire school
term was eligible to receive any
of the county school funds.
This ruling means that in the
future at least nine districts will
not receive their proportion of the
county school money, but will
have to make some provision at
their annual meetings for the rais
ing of their school money if they
desire to have school next year.
This ruling of the attorney gen
eral seems unjust to us as far as
this county is concerned as it
means that probably 45 young
sters will not have any schooling
at ail during the coming year. It
will be impossible to raise the en
tire amount of the monies needed
by direct taxation in several dis
tricts. —Rawlins Republican.
Reveng-g-e!
I licked a dozen stamps today
for telegrams I’ve sent. I licked
and stuck one on a bill with which
I paid the rent I licked a stamp
to place upon a note which I re
newed, and then I licked another
to make the mortgage good. 1
licked these stamps to show that
I respect my country’s will, and
now I’d like to lick the man who
introduced the bill.—Ex.

SARATOGA. CARBON OOUNTY, WYOMING, APRIL 13,1916.
C. S. TAYLOR
DIES SUDDENLY
Loft Hero Thursday for fiawlini, Was
Taken Sick and Diod at Hospital
Sunday Evening.
C. S. Taylor died Sunday even
ing at Rawlins at the hospital at
that place while there attending
to court business. He left here
Thursday and went over to Raw
lins and while not feeling the
best yet he was not really sick.
Saturday he took sick and was
laken to the hospital, where he
died Sunday evening from heart
failure, brought on by pneumonia.
Last winter he was taken down
with the grippe and had a very
serious attack and had virtually
never gotten over the effects of it.
It left him with a weak heart and
when taken with pneumonia Sat
urday the end came very swift.
The body was brought to Sarato
ga Tuesday and services were .
held from the Episcopal church
yesterday afternoon at 2 p. m., i
Rev. Haupt preaching the ser
mon. The funeral was under the
direction of the 1.0.0. F. Lodge
No. 43, of which he was a mem- 1
ber, and the Odd Fellows held a
short closing service at the grave
C. S. Taylor was born in Ohio '
in 1863 and came to western Kan- i
sas wh n 17 years of age, and
from then on made his home in 1
the west. He was for several
years a cow puncher working in
Texas, Colorado and Wyoming,
and settled at this place in 1895
or close to that date being here
most of bia time. He met Molly
Welsh at Ft. Steele in 1900 and
they were married at that place
the same year, moving to Sara
toga where they have resided ever
since. He leaves besides his wife
two sisters and three brothers.
The sisters are Mrs. L. E. O’Con
nor of Blackfoot, Idaho, and Mrs.
G. W. Moreland of Sedan, Kan.
The brothers are Ira E. and F. M.
Taylor of Blackfoot, Idaho, and 1
J. C. Taylor of Wilcox, Ariaona.
Mr. Taylor was employed as 1
marshal of one or two different
towns in Colorado, and was mar
shal of Saratoga and deputy sher
iff at different times since coming
here.
Mr. Taylor was not a man of
wealth but had be been he would
have been a philanthropist of no
□lean standing, as he was always
first to the rescue and last to leave
where aid was needed. Perhaps
for his generosity he was a poor
man. For many years we have
known him and in all those years
we could not start to count the
many acts of real kindness that he
performed and never asked in re
turn. If it was the call of the
sick or the injured he was the
first on the ground, and in death
he was always ready to render aid
to not only the taking care of the
departed but to help to relieve
the ones left behind. He had
many friends and there was am
ple help to give him the last kind
ness which can be shown on
earth. His obligations to aid the
injured, care for the sick and bury
the dead was carried out to the
letter. Though perhaps he did
not win his share of the worldly
goods, yet who can say whether
success is crowned with “gold” or
with “good deeds toward fellow
men.”
The remains were laid to rest in
the 1.0X).F. lot in the cemetery
east of town. The funeral was a
large attendance, many coming in
from the country and friends from
all over responded. Ira E. Tay
lor of Idaho and Pete Welsh of
Lander, brother of Mrs. Taylor,
came to be at the funeral, and left
again on the train after the ser
viees. The sympathy of the en
tire community is extended to
Mrs. Taylor as her ease is doubly
hard to bear, owing to the fact
that she so recently lost her mo
ther.
Narine News.
That the Marines and bluejack
ets of Uncle Sam’s Navy have
buried the hatchet and there is
now only the kindliest feeling be
tween the enlisted men of the
Navy and the enlisted men of the
Marine Corps, was evidenced at a
banquet tendered Gunner’s Mates
Charles E. Hills and Robert Con
roy by the Marine Detachment of
the U. 8. S. New York, the other
evening
The naval gunners were pre
sented with handsome gold watch
es by the Marine Corps boys, and
the speakers of the evening took
for their theme the new relation
ship between the enlisted men of
the two branches.
In the old days of wooden sail
ing ships there was considerable
jealousy and ill feeling between
the bluejackets and Marines, but
since the advent of the modern
man-o’-war that feeling has en
tirely disappeared and the men of
the two branches now live aboard
ship in perfect peace and har
mony.
Joint shore operations at Vera
Cruz and Hayti have brought
about an even better understand
ing between the men, the officers

Dark Days for the World.
(Communicated.)
These are dark days for the
world. The shadow of the war is
heavier than ever on all hearts,
whatever their sympathies Theie
is little exhultation now even in
victories, for we know at what a
price of blood and pain every vic
tory is run But there are many
things besides war in the world.
Except for our active imagina
tions, most of us would feel life
running on pretty much as usual.
There is the same sunshine, the
same life-giving air, the same au
tumn colors in the woods, the
same joy in bountiful harvests.
There is the same quiet satis
faction of soul that has always
come with this season, whether in
country or city. Here, in our
American isolation, we can live
out our lives in spite of wars and
rumors of wars There is need,
to be sure, of taking thought for
the future. But that is a matter
of calm decision, not for alarm
and fear. We are today the most
fortunate nation in the world. It
is a good time for the nation to
take to heart the philosophy that
is preached so much today to in
dividuals —the philosophy of con
fidence, of optimism, of positive
thought.
It is right and proper that we
should feel the woes of Europe,
and it is our duty to alleviate
them all we can. But it is wrong
to let those woes weigh on our
spirits until we lose our own
buoyarcy and poise. It is better
to regard the war as a doctor or a
nurse regards sickness—as some
thing to be cured, whose cure can
be effected not through outbursts
of sentimentalism but through in
telligent and cheerful service.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank all of the
kind friends, both here and at
Rawlins, and especially the Odd
Fellows, for the assistance, beauti
ful flowers and aid, during the
death and burial of Mr. Taylor.

Saturday evening- A pleasant even
ing was spent and enjoyed by all
present. Light refreshments were
• served.
