Mr. II. A. Prastmark, the we'll
known painter, has re-paipted his
house on Water street with Improved
White Lead" for which he has Sc
cured the exclusive agency, and it is
job of which he is justly proud. H..
A. Prastmark 81 Son have written the
manufacturers that they are well
pleased with this initial Job, that the
house looks fine, and they believe it
is but the first of many Improved
painting jobs in DEBORAH. We have
read with much interest and profit
the free booklet entitled House Paint
Values" that Prastmark e. Son are
distributing among house owners
contemplating painting, and it is an
eye-opener that appeals to ones CON-
nonsense and makes it easy to be-
lieve the manufacturers claim: that
Improved Lead" will wear thirty to
fifty per cent longer than Trust"
lead If mixed with pure oil and ap-
piled by a competent reputable prac.
tioal painter, although it costs no
more than the Trust" brands whose
"chalking'i tendencies are we'll
known. Al Prastmark & Son for a
copy of that\booklet and you will be
well repaid f0r the reading.

THE SPECIALIST.

1t is always good thing for farm
err to specialize in one or two things, to
be known as producer of the best in
some line of crop or as breeder Of
some one line of improved stock. This
may be done without trouble on any
farm and In no manner interfere with
that diversified type Of agriculture
which always insures the best results.
The best things are produced by spe-
cialists, the best stock by the man who
keeps to one breed. 1t is worth some
thing to take the first prize = the coun-
ty fair on any farm product. 1t sets
the neighbors to talking, and they are
almost sure to want some of your seed
or your stock at good long prices. Then
there is the satisfaction of It,

When a man finds himself with a
farm upon which the crops fail in an
ordinarily wet season. it will pay him
well to sell one-half of his land and
use the proceeds to thoroughly under
drain the other half. Three lost crops
will drain the land.

Macaroni wheat is growing greatly
in favor all through the semiarid Sec

are opposed to handling it, as it does
not grind well with modern milling
machinery, it still makes the finest Of

best made from patent -four.

What can be done with the pond
hole that cannot be drained? If we
had it on our farm we would work at it
with a scraper in dry time and make
good banks around it; then we would
plant trees all around it, preferably
willows, and have right pretty little
spot instead of an unsightly and worth
less swamp.

We have been renovating three
year-old strawberry bed recently.
Just as soon as the last berries were
gathered the bed was moved off as
close as possible to the ground. The
bed was then thoroughly worked over
with a six tooth horse cultivator, leav-
ing only six inch strip of the old
plants untouched. This will be follow
ed by repeated cultivation until fall.
While not as good as a bed set this
spring with new plants, this treatment
will insure a fairly productive bed for
next year.

1t would be double blessing if the
food waters Of the Missouri river

from Fort Benton to St Louis. Some
day this work will be done.

We have been propping up some fruit
trees lately to prevent the breaking Of
the branches with the load Of fruit
which the trees are carrying. While
In common with others we do this, it Is
still all wrong, for the fruit should
have been thinned to such load as
the trees could carry without support.

There is any amount of land in the
south-in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory,
which intelligently devoted to the cul-
ture of vegetables for the northern
markets and fruits will net the owner

We may be wrong, but we do not
see how a man could fail to make good
money and whole lot of it by getting
piece of good land in Oklahoma and
making a business Of raising. early
potatoes for the northern market. He
would be sure Of 81 bushel for his
crop one year with another. He could
also raise another crop on the land
after the potato crop was removed.
