The dance given by the ladies of the
Up to Date Club, OF Waubay, at Thomp-
sons Hall last Thursday evening was a
social success and the ladies deserve much
credit for making it SO. Mrs. Geo. Baker
and Mrs. Hickman managed the floor
and proved to be thoroughly competent.
After hall the program had been danced,
the ladies escorted their partners to the
banquet room in Peterson's Hall, where
beside each plate on the table which was
loaded with delicacies, was found a very
pretty valentine menu. The supper was
the finest we have ran up against in a
long time and we didn't do a thing but
fade everything within reach. The dance
did not break up until the twenty~iour
numbers on the program had been kicked
off. When the ladies Of Waubay start
to accomplish anything, you can gamble
on it's being "a SURE thing.

Wednesday evening Mr.. and Mrs. A. d.
Hash entertained about twenty-five
couples OF their friends at their home OF
"The Avenue" The occasion was one
long to be remembered by those who
participated. The first part consisted in
the presentation OF a card, each cardcon-
tanning a list Of twenty flowers butbadly
misspelled, the prize going to the person
guessing the most names. This prize
was won by Mrs. Ochsenreiter. Next
was progressive euchre and after a series
of twelve games the cards We're dispensed
with and the companys undivided atten-
ton given to an elegant luncheon. After
luncheon each guest was presented with
Il quotation from some well-known
author and their knowledge taxed to find
its original use. The company dispersed
in the early morn with the conviction
that they had had All elegant time and
brought in a verdict that Mr.. and Mrs.
IL. are elegant entertainers.

has borne up bravely and rarely com
plains. Az yet it is unable to tell wheth-

leg az was feared some time ago.
Since he was taken to the hospital he
has got along even better than could
reasonably have been expected and it is
hoped he may fully recover the use OF the

Storage-House for Fruit.

No doubt many of the fruit growers
of this State have provided themselves
with storage houses for their fruits in
order to hold for a profitable market.
If any man has house he considers ser
viceable he might do many of his neigh
bors favor by telling about it through
the agriculturist.
In an article on this subject the
Southern Planter says: The grower de
pending on his fruit crop for his profit
should be able to hold his fruit off the
market and wait for better prices. With
out storage-house he cannot do this.
The cost of building such house as
would provide for the temporary storage
of even moderately large crop of fruit
need not be large. The house should
be built with double walls, and the air

and wholesome food in variety, the
chances in favor of cholera attacking
are greatly reduced.
The surest, quickest way to get rid of
cholera is TO kill all the sick fowls and
burn the remains, or else bury deep, hav-
ing first covered them with quicklime;
then clean up the quarters and burn the
matter gathered. When you have got
the quarters as clean as possible, close
them up tight and put pound of sui
phur in an old kettle, pour on half a
pint of alcohol, and have it where you
can reach it from the door, set fire to it,
close the door, and leave it to burn out.
Do not have any fowls in the house dur
ing the burning. Wherever the sick
fowls have left their droppings, wet the
ground thoroughly with copperas disin-
fectant, and scatter lime freely. Do
this daily as long as the cholera remains
upon the premises. Give the flock pull
verified charcoal Tablespoonful to pint
of food) three or four times week, and
once in every two or three days add five
drops Of carbolic acid to a quart of water
and use it to mix their food with; also,
till after the cholera has disappeared,
give Douglass Mixture daily in their
drink.-Exchange.

space between these be packed with
sawdust or mineral wool like an icehouse,
so as to maintain a low and equable tenn
perature. The roof also should be
double, with the air space between
packed like the walls. The floor and
foundation of the house should be of
concrete, made by mixing SIX or eight
parts of clean gravel or coarse sand, with
one part of Portland cement. Fill this
mixture in to the depth of six inches all
over the foundation and tramp solid.
Let this foundation extend six inches
at least outside the outer walls and set
the stills upon it. Double board the out
side, and to the inner board nail for the
height of twenty inches from the foun-
dalton, tin roofing or sheet iron. This
and the concrete foundation will keep
out all rats and vermin. Provide for
good ventilation in or at the floor level
and through the roof. The floor inside
should be finished off with coating of
one part Portland cement and two parts
clean sand. Make this into d thin NOR
tar and spread level. This will set hard

a porch entrance so as to allow of double

Chickens Dead in the Shell.

There are various causes why chickens
die in the shell. One is that there was
not vitality enough in the germ to pro-
duce a chick strong enough to get from
the she'll. Too high or too low tempera-
ture will sometimes kill the chick when
about ready to hatch. If the pores of
the shell become closed by being soiled,
or another shell slipped over them, death
to the enclosed chick may follow.
Prevention in the first case is to use
strong, vigorous breeding stock and set
the eggs when fresh. In the second case
uniform temperature is the remedy. In
the third using clean eggs, and if from
any cause they become soiled wash them
in water at about 1909, dry nicely and
replace under the hen.
There is much discussion as to the
cause of chicken cholera. All agree
that filth is a good breeding place for
the little germs that produce the dread
disease

whitewashed, and the fowls supplied
with an abundance of pure fresh water

Eggs and Interest.

A dozen hens are worth more to man
than hundred dollars out on interest at
eight per cent, and there is but little
risk attached to the ownership of that
many hens, whereas there is always con-
siderable risk In loaning money in any
amount.
Twelve common hens can be bought
for three dollars, and they should lay,
and would lay fifteen hundred eggs in
twelve months, if half way cared for.
Fifteen hundred eggs at one cent each,
which is very modest estimate, or av.
erage, would be fifteen dollars for their
eggs in twelve months, or five times
what the hens would cost.
We know from experience that hens
can be keptln comparatively close yards,
where two-thirds of what they got to eat
is bought and fed to them, at cost of
about four cents each per month, or say
fifty cents year. On this basis it would
take six dollars worth of feed to keep
the twelve hens in laying condition for
year, leaving net balance of nine dol
lars to the credit OF their keeper, or three
hundred per cent. net profit on the three
dollar investment.
So much for eggs. Now, let a man
buy rooster and two hens, and just let
the hens lay and sit. Suppose he should
begin now, in July. The hens would
surely lay and hatch one brood of chick
ems each during the autumn. Say
twenty chickens from the two hens.
They would again certainly lay and
hatch each three brocds more, beginning
with next spring, by the time the year
would be up, making forty chickens per
hen. or eighty chickens from the two.
Less one-fourth loss from sickness or &C.
cident, leaving sixty young chickens as
the increase in twelve months, worth
twenty five cents each, or S15. Which,
less fifty per cent for the cost of raising,
leaving net profit of 81. SO from seventy
five cents invested in a trio Of fowls in
July. This from common chickens and
eggs at common prices.
Is there anything else on the farm or
in the village that can be made to yield
as large a per cent of interest for the
same amount invested?-H. B Geer in

did was to pile up earth about the trees,
the mound reaching up to the branches.
1t took several cart loads of earth to
make these mounds, and the little
orchard had the appearance of bushes
growing out of the top of the cone of
earth. Everyone used to look on and
laugh at the thought of burying up the
trunk OF a tree in order to make it
healthy, but there were the trees, and
undoubtedly models of health. Those
who saw simply stated t1eir belief that
it was only coincidence, and that the
trees would probably have been as
healthy without the mound of earth as
with it. Since, it has come to be we'll
recognized that many diseases of
plants, not merely of the peach tree,
out of other trees, are caused by the
mycelium of minute fungus attacking
the roots, it is not at all unlikely that
this mound of earth operated benefi-
cially by preventing the growth of the
fungus which preys upon roots of trees.
1t is now we'll understood that all plants
of low order of vegetation, which we
know as fungi, will only grow under
peculiar combination of circumstances.
Among other things they must be very
near the surface of the earth, and if
buried to the depth they would be under
a mound, it is unlikely that fungi would
find satisfactory home. Some will say
right here that they thought burying
the trunks of trees and covering the
surface roots with earth was Obstructive
to health but burying by itself is not the
reason trees die when earth In piled
from the act that the young growing
roots do not get air. These young,
growing roots are almost all at the ex-
tremities, and the mound of earth
around the trunk would not in the
slightest degree, injure these outer roots.
Whenever valued tree Is somewhat
around the trunk, perhaps building a
dry wall, in order to keep the earth
from setting near the trunk; but this is
not that the earth is injurious, but to
give chance for water to flow freely
down into the soil, and the flow of water
always leads to flow of air following the
water. These remarks are suggested by
an article In an agricultural paper, stat
ing that the apple borer and the peach
borer have been kept out of the trunks
of trees by making mound of earth
around the trunks.-Ex.

When a md How to Feed.

These are questions that are answered
in various ways. We will now compare
a few of them to see which we will &C.
cept as our standard.
There is class of farmers that pay
but little attention to their fowls and
only feed them once week, if at all, Civ
ing them all they can eat. They will
have their fill, too, if he gives them a
chance. Such farmers spend the great
er part of their time walking in the gar
den and fields and say cit doesn't pay to
keep EN-" The hens roost in the trees

of lice and filth. The hens die of indi-

from eating so much at one time in order
to make up for the long vacations.
We come now to the man who feeds
only once a day, that is in winter. Corn
is his only food, too. His fowls are dy-
ing from indigestion and bowel disease
caused by the fowls eating too much at
a time.
A method that is hard to make some
see is a mistake is feeding three times a
day. They argue that man eats his
three meals day, why not the fowls.
Fowls that are fed three times a day ex-
pect to do nothing but eat and grow fat.
They have no reasons to exercise, and,
of course, lay few eggs. Let fowls learn
to work for themselves. 1t makes them
hustle about, and their blood circulates
more freely, which is sure to bring eggs
soon. They cannot live on nothing, nor
with no chance to even scratch for their
living.
My way is to feed half feed in the
morning, warm mash is the best in the
winter, then they still have an appetite
