their works live after them.
1t is nearly 100 years since they started
on that great exploration fathered by Thos.
jefferson, up the Missouri and down the
Columbia rivers, crossing the mountains
between, and the results of it and the deep
interest in it still lives.
Their first winter-1S04-5-wa spent
among the Mandan Indians; the winter of
1865 they passed near the mouth of the
Columbia river among the Clatsop Indians.
They crossed the Rocky mountains at five
different places and travelled sometimes in
canoes, sometimes on horseback, sometimes
afoot, and covered about 10, 600 miles in all.
Their adventures proved truth to be as
strange as fiction; their discoveries were OF
the greatest Importance.

The state of washington

Is known as the Evergreen State because
of its vast forests. Outside of the limited
areas of BIG TREES in California, there are
no such forests of pine, fir, hemlock spruce,
cedar. etc., as are found here. The trees
airs long and straight, and the massive tim
bers and fine shingles made from them are
shipped all over the world
Washington Fruit is a product of great
value. It's flavor and color are unsurpassed.
East Of the Cascade mountains, the climate
is dry and warm, and irrigation is neces-
sary. This makes the farmer independent
of rain. West of the mountains irrigation
is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for
all purposes. Canneries and fruit drying
establishments can be operated profitably
in this state. Grain, hops and alfalfa are
very profitable crops, and beet sugar is
rapidly making Roadway
Washington is a coming empire. Brains
are in demand in all professions, and labor
is wanted and is paid remunerative prices.
Fuel. coal as well as wood, is abundant and
cheap. Schools and churches abound, the
state is well supplied with railways.
Varied attitudes and climates render this
country desirable place of residence, and
all can be suited.

MAKING BRooDERs SAFE.

shows how this trouble may be avoid
ed easily. Three slopes are made to
the incline, thus affording no chance
for missing the way. A chicken is a
very stupid thing, and cannot be de-
pended upon to do any thinking for
itself. It Is this nature of both old
and young fowls that makes it so nee
essary to be constantly watchful in
managing poultry. A little lack of
care and dozen chicks, perhaps, have
become chilled and lost. The ingen-
ious caretaker by using such devices
as that shown in the cut can save
himself some work by making it near
ly impossible for the chicks to go
wrong. There are many such devices
for saving labor that can be thought
up.-N. Y. Tribune.

Generally, the quicker sick her is

Select out the best of the fowls each

Exercise is better than drugs as a
stimulant for egg production.
The hardy, wide rangers, those clean

the kinds of fowls wanted by farmers.
For broilers you should have some
breed that natures rapidly, and that
will not have to be fed all summer to
make them weigh pound or two.
On the farm, especially, one good
breed of poultry, well fed and cared
for, is of more value than dozen
varieties neglected. = Garden and

COAL PRODUCTION.
The United States Is Now the Greatest
Producer of Coal in
the World.

The United States has taken the first
place among the worlds coal produc-
ers as it had already taken the first
place among the pig iron producers.
The significance of both facts, says the
Journal of Commerce, is largely en-
HANGED by the vastly greater supplies
of both coal and ore that we possess
than any of the other civilized and
manufacturing nations. 1t is probable
that China has very large supplies of
both, but for some years they will not
materially affect the worlds market.
The coal production, in short tons, for
the past three years has been as fol-
lows:

A Problem That pu..Ie. Many.

Which is most profitable, to go into
poultry raising for the sale of flesh
and eggs to consumers, or to go into
the raising of breeders to sell to other
people? Well, that depends on good

to raise fancy poultry, unless he il

curing customers for his breeding

a man has the money he can find the
customers. The finding of a market
for fresh eggs is not difficult. and
poultry meat can always be sold al
