HERE AND THERE.

Up to date the promise for fruit
crops in the southwest is as favora-
BILE as could be expected, and nearly
as favorable as could be desired.
Every farmer should have an Or
chard, berry patch and a vineyard.
and whether the fruit crops hit or
miss they should always have an
abundant supply of canned fruit, jel-
lies, jams and preserves.
-Horticulturists are almost univer-
sally successful, financially and other
wise. They are also contented set,
as is proven by the fact that having
once entered into the business in any
of it's branches, it is for life.
Stray cats are nuisance about =
yard where there are young chicks. A
small piece of fresh meat slightly sea-
soned with strychnine placed conven-
iently after the chickens are housed
for the night is good remedy.
-"One advantage in breeding ducks
is their freedom from disease" says q
poultry exchange. Another might be
mentioned, viz: their liability to cere-
bral and nervous disease. Paralysis

The time has now come when tho
successful farmer must study crop
statistics gathered from all parts of
the world. The worlds supplies, sur

of coming harvests must be taken in-
to consideration.
Before the Transvaal war South
Africa owned more Angora goats than
any other country engaged in the
production of mohair for sale on the
worlds market, but it is now report
ed that about fifty per cent. of thu
goats in that unfortunate country
nave been killed off during the war, so
that the price of mohair is apt to sd.

A sewing machine agent in Germany
wanted to SANDER an employe whom
he had quarreled with and discharged.
He did not call it SANDER, but he knew
that his enemy would, and possibly
the courts also, and as the penalties
for that offense are likely to be heavy
in the kaiser's realm he sought out
way in which he could gain the desired
end without endangering his own
safety. An inspiration came to him,
and purchasing a monograph roll he
went to the village inn, placed it into

his sometime friend, relates the New

GREYHoUNDs FEAR COYOTES.
Animal That Is Otherwise
Brave.

A greyhound is not always brave,
and one thing he is particularly
afraid of is an animal respected by
no one-an animal that sinks along
in a cowardly manner and about
which no writer has as yet found
anything to admire. Why this is l

ture, for the animal of which I speak
seems to me harmless denizen of
the great western hills and valleys,
never doing any real wrong and add
ing much to the wild picturesqueness
of the country. I mean the coyote.
And yet of the coyote, the poor, un-
loved, cowardly coyote, the grey
hound is afraid. He will run down
rabbit, seize him by the throat and

inn came in to have their beer, and, as
was their custom, some of them
dropped coins into the photograph
and set it attacking. The result was
appalling to them. The monograph
told the most shocking tales about one
whom they had considered a hitherto
much respected and altogether to be
praised if not admired fellow citizen,
tales they knew not to be true. They
hurried to the slandered man, and in
the course of time he brought an ac-
ton against his former employer.
The latter pleaded that he had not in

photograph was the guilty one. The

but it refused to work. However, the
judge decided that the defendant was
at least an active accomplice in the
ISLANDERS and fined him so marks.

with jerk break his neck, and then
carry him to his master. But let
coyote come in sight, and the grey
hound loses his courage. AS long as
the coyote keeps running the hound
will run after him, but as soon as the
coyote stops short and faces about,
the greyhound turns and runs away
as fast as he can. A coyote never does
more serious harm than to prowl
about the village streets at night in
the winter in search of meat, which
some unwary housekeeper may have
left outside. At the slightest growl

creamery business is profitable.
The advantages of the creamery are,
uniformity of butter, greater guam
tity of butter for given quantity OF
milk, better prices Per pound for but
ter, less labor on the farm and .
smaller outlay for the farmer. If the
section of the country is adapted to
dairying, the farmers may safely
unite to form cooperative creamery
association, but it takes some time
to develop good dairyman. Begin
by building up dairy herd, learn how
to feed to the best advantage and to
care for milk and it's products. After
a sufficient number of farmers in the
neighborhood have learned these
points, they stand good chance of
succeeding in the business. Feed reg
ularly. milk at the same time each
day, provide pure drinking water, hav-
ing it warm in the winter time, and
have well-ventilated stables. These
may seem to be stale statements, but
unless the directions are observed, the
creamery business will not pay. See
that the buttermaker you hire is COM
petent and is careful in all his details.
The source of dissatisfaction comes
frequently from variation in the milk
test. OF course, the milk will vary
some, but if the butter maker has
looked after the testing carefully,
trouble will not often occur from this
source.
A good dairyman must learn the in.
dividuality of every COW, and find just
what ration and the kind of treatment
are best for her. The COW that tests
the highest is not necessarily the
most profitable, but the one which
will produce the greatest amount Of
butter fat in a year. In q co-opera-
tive creamery the farmers can, with
profit, unite in buying grain by the
carload. Good roads are a factor in
| a dairy region, and without them it is
| difficult to make profit. Then, the
| farmers themselves must be thor
oughly honest. An actual occurrence
in a cheese factory illustrates this
necessity: One patron had a COW
which gave on q certain day stringy
milk. Instead of keeping this at
home, he sent it to the factory and
caused the loss of 5000 pounds Of
milk. By applying the curd test, the
cause was discovered the second day.
| have often asked myself why farm
ers could not cooperate successfully.
Primarily they do not realize the
power of their organization, and do
/ not attempt to stand by an associa-
ton when it is once formed. Cream
cries have helped pay debts in Mime
sofa, Iowa, South Dakota, Illinois.
Wisconsin,, and in all these sections
the fertility of the soil has been in
creased, while in the grain-growing
regions it is gradually decreasing.
Then, too, in dairy sections, most
farmers own their own land, which is
not the case so generally in grain
growing sections. Consequently, al
though c1eameries frequently fail,
they are here to stay, and, of course,
are more profitable where farmers
have been educated along dairy lines.

Lord Roberts, Commander of the British Army.
OF British Army.
/ ONION, Jan. S-crowds focked to

ONDON, Jan. 3.--Crowds hocked to
points of vantage along the route
to be followed by Lord Roberts
from Paddington Station to buckingham
Palace during the early hours of the
morning, but the numbers in no way
compared with those that gathered at
the demonstration in honor of the return
of the City Volunteers from South Afri-
ca. Fears of the riotous behavior and
disasters on that occasion deferred many
persons from joining in the public well
cone Warned by the occurrences at
the time of the volunteers return, the
authorities today furnished barriers to
prevent crushing, and lo0Oo regular
troops in addition to thousands of police
lined the route, blocked the side streets
and were concentrated in the wide spaces
to guard against dangerous rushes.
Lord Roberts reached Paddington Sta
ton only twenty minutes behind the
schedule time. AS he descended from
his saloon carriage to the platform OF
the deliberately decorated railroad sta
ton he was greeted by the Prince of
Wales the Princess of Wales, the Duke
and Duchess of York, the Duke of Con-
naught and the Duke of Cambridge. The
members of the royal family shook hands
heartily with the field marshal, while the.
bands played the national airs. The
Princess of Wales engaged Lord Roberts
in a conversation of some length.
The scene was altogether brilliant. Ev-
erywhere were masses of bunting, troops,
ladies in bright costumes, Cabinet Min
listers and staff officers.
The people on the stand opposite the
Icarpeted platform could see little but
locked hats and ladies bonnets. The
First Captain of the Empire feet 2
Inches high, was invisible but from in
front of the circle
After congratulations had been ex-
changed Lord Roberts walked with the
Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and
the adjutant general, Sir Evelyn Wood.
and reviewed the guard of honor. The
veteran field marshal, who appeared to
tbe in perfect health, with pink cheeks,
bore himself iauntily and with evident
enjoyment. He walked down each rank,
So luting with his left hand, as his right
hand is still in a sling as a result of his
fall from his horse in South Africa.

After the inspection Lord Roberts had
few minutes conversation with his old
comrades before he went out into the
Istation Enclosure to meet London's null
ititudes.
The Prince of Wales. with Lady Rob-
lerts, left the railroad station in royal
lcarriage drawn by six horses and escort
led by Life Guards, preceding Lord Rob-
erts to buckingham Palace. The return

Palace by way of Hyde Park and Picca-
dilly. Deafening cheers greeted the field
marshal and new commander in chief of

ablaze with color and the greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed The ladies admitted

and balconies. The hotels and other
buildings We're all lavishly bedecked and
We're crowded from top to bottom with

tered the gates of the palace A few dis
tiEguished people were waiting YEARLY
within the somber quadrangle, in which
! the gas lamps vainly tried to dispense
the foggy gloom. The Foot Guards on
duty, wearing their overcoats, were
drawn up within, while without some 50,-
900 persons We're packed together in an
effort to get view of the hero of the
hour.
/ The royal party arrived a half-hour be-
fore Lord Roberts, who was driven into
the quadrangle amid salvo of cheering
from the crowds and a dignifed waving
of hFldkerchiefs the part of the
Dareneaded nobility.
Within. the Prince of Wales again
warmly greeted the field marshal Every
body by that time, 2:30 p. M, was very
hungry, but Lord Roberts would not go
to luncheon until he had inspected the
Guards. Accompanied by one or two of
fcers he walked between the lines of
men. who lowered over the tiny COM
mander in chief, making him appear
smaller than ever, almost overweighted
by the immense plumes of his field mar
shaIs hat.
When the inspection was over Lord
Roberts, the members of the royal FAM
lily and the generals went into the pal
ace and had a private luncheon, where
upon the crowds dispersed.
Lord Roberts went from Buckingham
Palace to the War Office. where he for
mally took over the work of commando
