BAKER CITY, Ore, Jan. 3o.-One
of the saddest homes in Baker county
is that of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Bur-
roughs. Twice within the past 80 days
have they prepared to meet their son
who went to sea nearly two years ago,
and been disappointed. While expect
ing his appearance at the door every
day for four long weary weeks a mes
sage came that his body had been
buried on foreign soil.
About Is months ago. Joe, who was
about IL years old, wanted to see the
world. He had always been dutiful, SO
mannish and so able to take care of
himself that the parents gave their
consent. The boy went to Portland
and shipped on n foreign vessel. For
. year they heard nothing from him
They watched every mail and read
every newspaper that they might get
some tidings from the absent boy.
Late in December letter came from
Joe. 1t was dated in Germany. 1t
had been on the way many days, but
IL contained the following gratifying
message:
Dear Mother and Father:-I will
arrive in Baker City in time to take
Christmas dinner with you.
JOE"
The happiness that filed the hearts
Of the Burroughs family is indescrib-
able. A great Christmas dinner was
prepared for the boy. Joe's place at
the table was especially looked after
ard little decorations were placed
about the walls. The glad words pass
ed the lips Of every member of the
family; "Joe's coming!D
Christmas day arrived and still Joe
had not made his appearance. But
the mother did not give up. The table
was spread and Joe's place was arran-

Growing Rape ProfAably.

Mosto the failures in growing rape
are due to the impression that the crop
may be grown on any soil one happens
to have vacant. AS matter Of fact.
rape requires 4 rich soil; hence one
should be we'll posted on the uses OF
the crop before giving up valuable soil
to it. While rape makes its best
growth when the seed is sown early
in the season. after the soil has become
warm, there is Yet time to SOW it and
get good returns in any section where
eight to ten weeks OF good growing
weather may be depended upon.
Clay loan rich in vegetable matter
Is the ideal soil for rape. and if the
field is divided by fence so that a
portion of it may be paStured at 4 time,
its feeding value will be greater. The
best way to pasture rape for swine or
sheep is to turn the animals on to it
for but a small portion of the day,
letting them have the grass pasture
the rest of the time. While fowls may

had the best success cutting the rape
and feeding it to them on the grass

ularly around the edges. The saw
should be sharp and should leave 1t
clean cut, and this in turn should be
made smoother by the use of the prun'
ing knife or sharp chisel, as the healing
process starts quicker and progresses
more rapidly when this precaution IS
observed than when a rough and
Jagged surface is left. 1t frequently
happens that, in order to obtain the
best results in removing large
branches. two cuts should be made
that is. the branch should be sawed OF.
eighteen inches or two feet from its
origin, in order to prevent splitting
down and tearing off a considerable
portion of the bark. After the weight
Of the branch has been lessened by
cutting away the main part. second
cut can be made and stub held in po-
sition until the cut is completed. thus
preventing the splitting down and
tearing of the bark which is likely to
result from the careless removal OF
large branches.

The growing stock are carrying your
pocketbook. Watch them.
Last year you said you would have
good pasture for all your stock. Have
you?
If you are raising calves (and you
ought to be) the dry lot is not the place
for them.
Are the pigs in the clover? They
ought to be some place where they can
be happy.
Is that pig in the pen near the
kitchen? Somebody is losing some
thing if it isn't.
In all your plans for your young
stock. don't be persuaded to favor any
thing but thoroughbred male.
Now is the time when it's profit or
loss on the lambs. Don't forget to
see that they are doing their best.
How is the rape doing as pasture
for hogs and sheep? Didn't you try
it? Well. you missed another chance.
Stock water is jast about as import
ant as stock feed. This has been quite

Pig and Poultry Cures.

Not long ago We lost number OF
fne hcgs from cholera. An old friend
came to us just after the plague had
run it's course, and when he heard of
eur loss, he told US how he had man
aged for years to keep his swine in
perfect health, even when cholera was
an epidemic in his neighborhood. All
through the year he once or twice a
week would feed to each hog an ear
of corn which had been smeared with
freshly run pine tar. At first they
would rot eat it readily. but soon ac-
auired a liking for the taste. 1t is
such a simple ounce of prevention that
surely it will be worth While to try it.
In the same connection, l will tell
what I use for Sorehead among my
fowls, with the result that l have
never lost a single one, nor had it to

This Insect Represents Truly Silent

After all, the chief charm OF this race
of winged flowers does not lie in their
varied and brilliant beauty, not yet In
their wonderful series Of transforma-
tons, in their long and sordid caterpil-
lar life, their long slumber in the
chrysalis, or the very brief period
which comprises their beauty, their
love making. their parentage and their
death. Nor does it lie in the fact that
we do not yet certainly know whether
they have in the caterpillar shape the
faculty of sight or not. and do not even
know the precise use OF their most
conspicuous organ in maturity, the an
tennae. Nor does it consist in this
that they of all created things have
furnished man with the symbol or MS
own Immortality. 1t rather lies IN the
fact that. with all their varied life anu
activity, they represent an absolutely
