M.v. Win.' V. Illack has passed through a very painful experience, the outcome of which was in doubt for a time. She appeared to have a felon on her hand which dally grew more painful and was accompanied by fever. Dr. llroaddus decided to open the hand to liberate the puss that was evidently accumulating. Owing to the condition of her heart and lungs an anaesthetic could not be administered. It was only much deep cutting that the puss was liberated from the sheath of the sinews where it had gathered. Though still weak from the pain and shock of the operation, the patient Is recovering, recover-ing, but It was a narrow escape from blood poisoning, Mr. Illack expressed his ,"ep appreciation of Dr. Broaddua' efficient service and constant at ten Uon. Mrs. Maggie Ityan and her bright baby Is spending tho winter with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Kelly. Mr. Ryan expects to abandon the railway service In the spring and come down to Deseret and go Into farming. We have seen very few good barns In Millard. Probably our dry summers and generally mild winters make expensive ex-pensive barns not as necessary as In the East. John Dewsnlp has the best barn we have seen so far. It Is 30x50 feet in size, built of matched siding, a cement floor covers the whole Interior. Interi-or. There are ten stalls on one side and on the other side six open stalls anti-two box stalls. Ilehlnd tho stalls la a sunken drain to carry out of the haru the drainage from the stalls. In the large loft overhead Is room for forty tons of hay. Mr, Dewsnup believes be-lieves the barn is a paying investment invest-ment In reducing the amount of feed his 'stock requires and Increasing the amount of milk his cows give. There is a large accumulation of al-falf al-falf seed at Deseret and very little demand. Dan Plack gave It as his opinion that while last year the buyers heto It tinllj the demand came for It, rn'.yur tney are letting the farmers t6riie time before fhey are able to dispose dis-pose of It. This Is pretty hard on the farmers as they have been depending upon their alfalfa seed money to pay their bills. Probably not half of the seeil In the county has been sold. We think this points to the necessity of organizing or-ganizing a farmers' association to look after the selling end of seed raising. There Is not an unlimited demand for alfalfa seed, nor a large number of buyers. Farmers have to take a chance In finding a market for their seed. An association could look upthe market, keep Informed as to the demand de-mand and the prices and act as a unit when It comes to selling. Growers of oranges, apples, peaches, grapes and other farm products have their organizations organi-zations which look after the marketing of their products and find them of great value. We believe It would be of equal value to the seed raisers of Millard county and Utah.
