ReclaImIng Abandoned Farms &.

Here and there in rural New Eng
land one comes across an abandoned
farm, says the Newport X. l., Journal
which by the judicious use of money,
brains and toll has been converted into
a beauty spot and highly remunera-
tive piece Of country property, Such
estates as these are the best of object
lessons as to the quality of New Eng
land soil for farming purposes and the
possibility of retaining land which
has been deserted and left to grow wild
and uncultivated. OF cours such a
transformation requires the expendi-
ture Of money, the exercise Of much
toll, the employment Of brain work as
we'll as that of the hands, and consid-
cradle time for all these efforts to show
fruitage /; but it is still true that the old
earth is always responsive to right
treatment and that it can be made to
give rich returns if rightly cultivated.
No land thatis not virgin soil can be
expected to yield crops unless some
thing is put into it, but if it is prop
erly enriched it will never fail to give
satisfactory measure.
Men of means with love for the
country, always held or recurrent after
years of activity in the busy scenes of
city life, are doing much to improve
and beautify the rural sections by the
purchase and reclamation of abandon
ed farms. 1t adds immeasurably to the
attractiveness Of the country to come
upon the estates. large or small. with
their neat appearance and evidence Of
thrift and prosperity. In not few
cases these men of wealth or moderate
means have added several farms to
their original purchase until they pos
sess and cultivate extended acres, to
their great profit and enjoyment. But
in all such instances it is plainly to be
seen that the results have been achiev-
ed by nohaphazard sort Of work, butt
that all has been carefully planned and
skillfully executed In other words, it
is evident that il is useless to under
take the conversion Of deserted farm
into a profitable business enterprise and
a source of satisfaction to the owner
and to all who behold it without the
use Of the brain as well as the hand.
1t requires intelligence as well as
strength, mental as well as physical
exer,ion. And indeed that is coming
to be more and more true Of all farming
in these days, for farm life is now
science as it never used TO be.

es in such Young man than | have in
ono who asks me concerning profess
sional life. He is starting Out is pro.
fession Of Car greater importance than
tho las, named. One.half OF all profes.
sional men could die today and tho
world would no, suffer bi, by reason
OF it. Bu, let half the farmers die and
half the world would get quite hungry
for something to eat in mighty short
order Ny friend, however, is asking
me a question which, could l answer
Il, would be the equivalent Of giving
him a short course in an agricultural
college. The only way to select dairy
cows well is by practical study OF the
different types Of cows. The beef COW
has beef type, OF carcass so formed
as to carry lot of edible meat. The
dairy COW has largely the opposite
form with large abdominal capacity.
Could be with my friend and 60 into
herds of cattle with him could teach
him more COW in fifteen minutes than
could be done in writing enough mat
ter.to fill month Of Tribune Far
mers.
Now ! will suggest that when my
friend goes to buy cows he take along
with HIM the best practical dairyman
n his section. Select man who is
making success with his dairy and
take him with you and let him be the
the Judge. You will get lessons from
him that will be worth many dollars to
you. Ask him to point out to you
wherein the COW he selects is better
than the others, Now, another word
regarding the purchase. There is pro-
fit in good cows well fed, and none in
poor cows no matter how well you
may feed them. Don't haggle over a
few dollars in the price. A $50 COW
may seem cheap and $50 one you may
think dear; yet the $50 one would
leave you in debt for her keep at the
end OF the year, while the $50 one
would pay you 80 per cent interest on
the investment AS you are starting
in the business, better by far pay $5col
for ten good cows than $Sco for TWEEN.
ty fair ones, the half Of which will al
ways leave you in debt at the years
end.
Second-Now concerning the ensil-
age question. Corn cnslage is not an
all sufficient food for dry COW, when
the hay is timothy or red top. lfclover
hay, it would be nearly so yet it will
pay you well, even then, to feed a
quart of oats and wheat bran to your
dry cow and little less ensilage with
the timothy hay. Add lew more oats
and wheat bran.

Fire at Triplett.

The COURIER very much re-
orets to learn that w. F. Bruner
4 Co.'s handsome, double, brick
storeroom at Taiplett, with the
neat new and well equipped
opera- house above, was de-
stroyed by fire that was hrst
discovered between 4 and
O'Clock Wednesday morning.
and which is supposed to have
caught from a lighted cigar stuo
left in one of the dressing rooms
of the opera house.
Bruner & Co. owned the lower
story of the building and the
stock of clothing, dry goods.
groceries, etc., it contained.
They carried Sc, 100 insurance,
ST 100 of which was on the store
room and $1,000 on the stock.
This means a loss of $1,000 on
the house. Perhaps almost one
fourth of the stock OF between
$4,000 and S11. 200, was saved.
The opera-house was owned
bv a local stock company whose
public spiritedness has caused an
investment of $4,000 in the opera
house and furnishings, and VIZ
are sorry to say that there was
not a cent of insurance on tnl
part of the building and content
no part of which was removed.
This FIRE is hard blow to tn

The Odd Fellows Supper.

One of the most thoroughly
enjoyable occasions that has
taken place in Keytesville for
many a day was the supper CIV
en- by the members of Keyteville
Odd Fellows lodge, No. ATT,
Wednesday night.
Two long tables that extended
across the length of the entire
hall were laden with the choicest
| of edibles, which were prepared
| in the most toothsome manner OF
the culinary art, and everyone
present, including several invited
/ guests, had their appetites with
them and relished the feast to
the utmost.
| There were chicken, turkey.
oyster dressing, ham, o'possum
and sweet potatoes, pickles, sal
ads, cranoerry sauce, celery,
bread and butter, coffee, ice
cream and cakes galore. The
, spread was one fit for the gods,
, thanks to the good wives of the
p Odd Fellows, who would, in
= deed, be "odd" fellows with
out their spouses.
Only one single thing trans
9 pired that created any anxiety or
trouble, aud that was caused by
an indiscreet act of T. |. Smith
