Yesterday sacks were distributed over
the city for the Children's Home annual
Thanksgiving gathering. They will be
called for on Friday. The custom of
distributing sacks throughout the city
for donations was inaugurated by the

donations of useful articles received in
this way have been very generous. Our
citizens will, of course, remember this
worthy institution as literally this

The Colfax chronicle., 1900-07-07

An odd incident occurred lately on
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
at Highland Park, ILL.,, reports the Mil
waukee Sentinel. As the engineer of
the train which reaches Milwaukee at
ii o'clock blew the whistle the valve
broke and he was unable to shut off
the steam from the noisemaken From
Highland Park to Milwaukee, a dis
tance of about 65 miles, there was not
moment when the whistle was not
sounding full strength. 1t could be
heard for miles away as the train came
on in long, continuous, shrill sound
and at every city and village people ran
to their doors to learn what was hap
pening. While the whistle was blowing
the fireman was straining every nerve
to keep the steam up to the running
point, and succeeded in bringing the
train into the station on time.

a few calculations that show clearly
to my mind that the farmers of Ten

ing the same kind of poultry that the
western farmer keeps-that is, the
breeds that produce the large eggs. In
the New York market reports, Tennes-
see and Kentucky eggs are quoted at
from 1H to two cents less than west
ern eggs. The only reason for this il
that we have so many breeds that pro-
duce small eggs, really culls. The

The SOIL for Peas.

1t is often said that cow-pcas will
grow in the poorest soil, and this is
onc of the advantages insisted upon.
Well, they will make some growth on
very poor land, but not sufficient
growth to build up the soil rapidly.
Such land is usually deficient in phos-
phoric acid, and the best plan is to
fcrtilize for peas Nv applying an acid
phosphate. That helps the peas to
help themselves. Again, these peas
will not do well on cold or wet soils.
They must have warmth. But where
the soil favors this crop adds rapidly
to the store of available plant-food. 1t
adds nitrogen to the soil just as clover
does, and it improves the physical con-
dition. The time of seeding enables
one to kill out noxious weeds. For soil
re ovation, if few summer months
are available, no plant of which have
knowledge surpasses the cow-pea
wherever it thrives. The same season
it may be followed with rye as win
ter cover crop, and the land is then
prt into prime condition for breaking
for spring crop.-Farm and Fireside,
The Colfax chronicle., 1900-07-07

BE sure of the quality then look
after quantity. This applies to many
things on the farm.
Exercise. grit, good food and pure,
fresh water are essential to the growth
OF the chicks. and quick growth makes
good fowls.
One of the hopeful signs of the
times is tho fact that breeders of or
dinary beef cattle are conspicuous
among the buyers of pure-bled bulls
of the beef breeds.
Poultry is always cash. There is
no time when you can not realize on
them, either the fowls or the eggs, and
the market is never glutted.
Commenting on the pure-food
question DIR. Wiley, the chemist of the
department of agriculture, ssys that
the value of the adulterated foods sold
annually in the United States amounts
tc millions of dollars.
You can not always Judge from
outside appearance, but the general
surroundings of farm is a pretty
good index to the character of the one
who occupies it.
Chicks with unlimited range get
plenty of exercise and they pick up
sufficient grit, so that the food and
water arc of the most Importance and
should not be neglected.
1t is safe to assume that for the
next few years at least the south will
be unable &c do much in dairying. Yet
the south presents magnificent field
for the development of market for
dairy goods. 1t has been growing in
that respect, and will continue 10
grow.
We often hear it advised, milk
your cows regularly or they .aay
shrink in YIELD" That statement
should be put little more positively:
You must milk them regularly or they
will shrink every time.
lin spite of the ste,idy demand in
the south for dairy products, there is
no general movement for local in
crease of dairy production. This is il
listrafed by the absence of dairy as
sociations of any strength, such as
exist in the north. They will come in
time. however.
--Onr sales of agricultural products
abroad during the last three years
were over $500, ,O00, 900 greater than in
the preceding three years, 1ss4-s6.
This enormous gain affords some idea
OF the possibilities that await further

ESCORTS FOR GIRLS.
A Company Has Been Formed In Chi.
cago for the Purpose of Pro-
viding Them.

Some South side girls have started
an association to furnish escorts fol
women. Incorporation papers have
been drawn up and filed, says the
Chronicle.
As to the name of the company the
young ladies are very sensitive, and
one would hardly dare hazard a
guess. The young ladies range in age
from IL years to %. and the purpose
of their company is to supply an es-
cort at any time of day and as late
at night as respectability win per-
init.
The method to be employed is a
safe and practical one.
The first meeting was held in the
Office of the well-known "pa" of one
of the young misses on jackson boule-
ward and Dearborn street last week.
One member consented to say: 1--WE
are going to have an Office in prom
inent building in the neighborhood OF
State and Washington streets, where
the elevators run all night, and will
employ boys who are from 16 to 20
years of age. They will be uniformed
in a dark-blue cloth sack coat. The
trousers will be tight-fitting and have
a stripe of white down the side seams.
The coat will be single breasted, with
a front like that of fatigue coat of
an army officer. The cap will be soft
blue, with visor running well around
like those the navy officers wear.
''We will subscribe enough money
to pay the expenses for three months.
We will engage only good. bright
boys who have parents they have to
help support. We will start with ten
that we have already engaged. The
boys will be in charge of wom-
an. There will be two women en-
plOyed as overseers. One will be on
duty from seven a. m. until five p. m,
the other from five p. m. until mid
night.
"The women have been stenograph-
ers and have been in similar busi-
ness before. The escorts will be for
the use of the members only. We have
1S members, and each member must
pay into the treasury of the company
for an escort at the rate of 25 cents
an hour and the car fare. and that
ought to put it on paying basis.
There will be. .call boxes from our
houses to the Office"
