Iowa Homestead: Il am exceedingly
cautious by nature, and public opin-
ion has been against the success of
the poultry business when undertaken
on large scale. In addition had
many kind neighbors who assured me
repeatedly that it was only matter
OF time when ] would come to grief;
that my land would soon become
poisoned by constantly growing poul-
try upon il: that disease and vermin
would step in and carry off my hopes
and expectations, etc That land has
grown one lot of poultry and one OF
barley aud rye each season for the
past fifteen years and remains UNI
poisoned yet. / have increased my
plant until have grown 10, 600 birds
and am increasing it still. The past
season has seen two new buildings
added to the plant and can truly
say that see no symptoms of either
vermin or disease among any OF my
fowls for the past ten years During
the past season, Notwithstanding the
high price of grain, the returns have
been highly satisfactory, as the prices
for chickens and eggs have run higher
than ever before. At present 1 am

Tillage Is Manure.

1t is practically, although not
technically true, that ''tillage is ma
nure." But tillage with manure is a
safer rule, IL you are after big and
paying crops. In the same line of
thought, science is a valuable aid to
agriculture. But ''science with prac-
tice" is the combination that must
unlock the secrets that lead to the
highest agriculture and the most
profitable farming.

Disappearance Finds Him Dead.
KAzLEToN, March 20.-John Traynor, a

saying she was certain her husband would be

Her fate remained a mystery until yester-
day.

old breast close to the manway, heard a
human voice some distance beyond. 1t was

the place whence the voice proceeded and
beheld wild-eyed woman holding in her
lap the head of a man apparently dead.
She swayed gently from side to side while
she sang

the men. Gently they lifted her up. Then
she raised cry Of despair aud tainted. She
was brought to the surface at once and
borne to her desolate home, together with
the dead body of her husband. She is now

Colored Halos and Other Displays
Witnessed at Various Points.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 20-About 9
o'clock Friday morning series of oolored
solar halos became visible. At the same
time an immense, distinct white parhelic
circle was visible. passing through the sun
and around the heavens about half way be-
tween the horizon and zenith. The two
circles, OF which the sun was the cen err,
were Of a wel-defined red color on the
inner edge, fadiog into q pale blue on the
outer edge. The two outside circles were
similarly colored, the colJrs being most
brilliant where they touched the two
sun circles. At its intersection with the
smallest sun circle two brilliant sun dogs
were visible aud at the two points of inter-
section with the outer sun circle sun dogs Of
less brilliancy were observed. The parhelc
circle visible Thursday at II o'clock was
less brilliant than the one Friday. The solar
halos Thursday were not visible to the
naked eye at all. The haloS are caused by
the reflection of the sunlight through crys-
tails of ice or snow floating in the upper at
mosphere. The sky was hazy and pre-
sented dull appearance and the air was
clear and cold, conditions essential to the
appearance of the phenomenon.
