NEW HAMPTON, Iowa, Feb. 25.-Pres-
ident Stickney, of the Chicago Great
Western road, has inaugurated a series
of meetings along the line of his road,
for the purpose of advocating a more
scientific and thorough method Of farm
ing. He will hold one or two meetings
in all the important towns along the line.
which will be addressed by himself and
others, who have had practical expert
ence in special crops such as potatoes.
A meeting was held here today, and
addressed by 8. II. Hall of Minneapolis.
He claims that nearly 100,000,000 bush
els of potatoes are imported every year,
and that by rotation of crops and the
cultivation of potatoes to greater extent
this deficiency can be made up along the
line of the Great Western road.
Mr.. Stickney says he calls it his gospel
! of better farming of smaller farms, and
that it will be preached from one end of
the road to the other. They are travel
ing in their special car and making stops

POULTRY AS A MORTGAGE LITTER
The Results of Three.Acre Farm in
the State of Maine.

The Results of Three.Acre Farm in
the State of Maine.
Years ago I was a city resident, says
a writer in the Farm and Home. In
one or two trips as commercial trav-
eler through Maine. I found myself, in
company with a friend, pausing at the
outskirts of little village. Indications
of farm life were visible about the
barns and in the neighboring fields and
lent a new charm to me, having been
but recently in the heat, noise and con-
fusion of city life. Farm life and scenes
were not unfamiliar to me then, but
the lesson learned in those moments
of contemplation will never be forgot
ten, for it did much in directing my
thoughts toward farming. I soon after
ward resigned my position, and with
my friend, who shortly afterward be-
came my wife, purchased a three-acre
farm with cosy buildings, excellent wa
ter and very choice fruit trees. The
farm cost $500; part was paid down
and the balance mortgaged. We had
one horse for general use, COW that
averaged two pounds of butter per day,
two pigs and 500 hens. Decided to make
poultry a speciality, believing there is
more money in that branch of farming
than in any other. My wife was farm
er's daughter and skilled in general
farming, which aided much toward sue
cess.
We very soon learned that poultry
keeping was profitable. Poultry do not
ask for credit; they pay as they go. The
first year we cleared $500, besides pay
ing all expenses and buying so thor
oughbred fowls of various breeds. Be-
fore beginning the second year, the
flock was increased to 1000. We worked
an incubator the entire year and made
a specially of broilers for the Boston
market, which paid us well. The sec
ond year we purchased another incu-
bator and hired a man to do rough
work and plant and care for the fam
lily garden. We never allowed any one
but myself to care for the fowls. At
the end of the second year we had made
$2100 and paid the mortgage of $1,000,
leaving a balance of $1400 in our favor.
My experience has taught me that
fowls will pay well on the farm if well
cared for and given the little attention
| they require. A person Is needed to
care for them, one who does not want
| to see dumb animals suffer and who is
| willing to be tied down little, for fowls
| need to be fed regularly. Select some
member of the family who is in sympa-
thy with the poultry and who will take
pride in seeing them thrive under his
or her care Next, building is needed
to keep them in. For this would rec
ommend a building placed in shell
tered, sunny spot, well drained and in a
corner of the orchard if not too fal
from the house. The size may vary
according to the number of fowls to be
accommodated and the space of funds
ayailabIe; but no matter how yor
| build, you must keep certain things in
view from the beginning. You need
warmth, dryness, ample space and sim
! plicity of inside arrangements, that the
building may be easily cleared and KEEP
free from lice.

How the President IF Switzerland
Camped Out.
An amusing story is told of the late
ex-President Schenk of Switzerland.
Unlike other potentates of Europe, he
has been known for years past to spend
his annual vacations in tramping
among the Alps with one or more of
his sons. Thus during the year of his
last presidency 1888 he started off
with two sons upon a tramp through
one OF the adjacent mountain provinces
of France and, as he was wont to do.
took along the requisite camping mate
rial, such as is used by an army of
Switzerland when engaged in annual
maneuvers.
Arriving late one evening in the SUBJ
urbs of a village, they proceeded to put
up their tent and prepare for supper
when the gendarme of the place came
up and ordered them away, or first pro-
ceeded to the mayor under arrest and
secure permit. President Schenk, al
though somewhat fatigued, at once
strapped on his knapsack and accom-
panied the officer to the mayor, rather
amused than vexed by the turn things
had taken. Upon being confronted by
the mayor. President Schenk presented
his passport, signed by himself, and
duly authenticated by the French am
bassador at Berne, Count Laufrey,
which referred to the bearer as "his
excellency. the president of the Swiss
Confederation"
At first the mayor seemed quite dunn
founded, but recovering himself, al
once, in the most obsequious manner
begged the president to excuse the ac-
ton of the police officer, and fairly
pleaded to have him accept the hospi.

them all in buying a sewing machine,
an extra cloak, and half a dozen plated
spoons, which are "all in the family"

the right to do it, as much so as the
man has to buy feed cutter, an extra
rubber coat and whip when the wife
had her heart upon having a pair of
kid gloves.
That women are poor managers" is
proven false every day. Many sue
cessful man owes his success to his
wife's good management and many
more would be successful if they left
more of their affairs to the judgment
and management of the wife.
1t is burning shame the treatment
some women get in the money matters
of the co-partnership made at mar
riage.
We do not believe in marriages for a
money consideration. but hold that
many woman would be happier had
the promise to "love. cherish and keep"
been carried little farther or made
more specific so as to have obligated
to literal sharing of the money be it
little or much.
An extreme case was brought to our
attention a few days ago. A farm was
to be sold and after the deed was made
out the wife hesitated before signing
it. When asked why she replied "Be-
fore signing that paper" and her voice
grew steady and firm, IT want to know
what my shares to be. I've worked
as hard as father all these years on the
farm, and I've pinched and managed
and earned whatever's to be paid for
it, as much as he, and want a set
sum that's all mine and that / can
hold in my own Stands and have be-
long to me alone"
The lawyer who made out the paper
saw determination in the tone and
manner and acknowledged her right
and asked how much she considered
her share.
81 thought of that, too" she replied.
TITS been 40 years, a good 40 years,
for we took the farm in the fall, and
this is spring, and it seems to me-
Cher voice broke a little at this critical

That is true statement of a recent
happening. Thing of it, man. A wo-
man so belittled by 40 years unrecom-
pensed servitude she called 500 fair
consideration for her services! Man!
are you degrading your wife to such a
position?

Senator Shoup made a visit to the Boise
barracks the other day, says the Mail.
Accompanying the senator were Mayor
Pierce, ex-Mayor Soma, Councilman
Weller and MesSrs. H. B. Eastman, Alfred
Eoff, c. w. Moore and Frank R. Coffin.
Senator Shoup has lively interest in
seeing the barracks remain just where
they are. as we'll as having the govern
ment put still more improvements in.
Colonel Cook escorted the party about
the grounds and explained in detail the
necessities of the barrack The matter
of securing hot water is the greatest OBJ
ject.
''If we can get hot water in the well
am now boring" said the colonel, at will
be a saving of 5000 year to the govern
ment in the way of stoves and fuel alone,
let alone the other great benefits that
would arise in the way Of baths and ir-
rigation purposes"
The colonel, by the way, is doing all the
experimental work in hunting for hot
water at his own expense and the con-
trivances used in boring are Of his own
design. The well is down now something
over 100 feet. which is equal to 200 feet
at the water companys wells near the
pen, and a temperature of 80 degrees is
reached, which is Splendlu prospect Tor
success. Two hundred feet more are yet
to run.
The government will not allow a cent
for prospecting for hot water, but it is
assured, says Senator Shoup, that if the
hot water is found the barracks are per-
manent, and the government would soon
put up large improvements.
When Colonel Cook explained his man
