A PROSPEROUS CHINA FARM

Mr.. w. F. Ward of China is one of
the best farmers of that towns many
good farmers. He has beautiful farm
of 100 acres overlooking the ever beau
tiful China lake. His place is near the
top of Stanley Hill and besides his
beautiful view of China lake he has a
fine general view. 1t is cooler in sum
mer and warmer in winter than the
average place, and to add to the desir-
ability of the location the buildings are
just under little rise where they are
sheltered from the north winds. The
whole combined make it a desirable
place to live, and this coupled with 100
acres of good farming land make it a
fine farm home.
Mr.. Ward has lived here for 20 years
and has no fault to find with it. He
has good set of buildings on the place
and keeps good stock. The farm has
not as much of land under cultivation
as some of the same size, having more
wood. Nevertheless it cut this year 35
tons of good hay, which is enough to
winter his stock, Mr.. Ward says.
He also cut this year $50 bushels of
oats, having a small acreage of them
compared with what he usually has.
He also had less potatoes this year
than formerly, having only about 100
bushels. His potatoes were large and
good ones, however, and are sure to
bring a good price when sold. The
farm has good orchard on it and this
year it yielded IT'S bushels of apples,
mostly Baldwins. His apples were ex-
ceptonally good this year and were sold
last month for a good price. OF other
farm products Mr. Ward raises just
enough for his home use, considering
those mentioned the most staple arti-
Giles and the most profitable for the
| farmer to raise. He keeps five head of
! horses, one we'll built work horse. He
also keeps about 80 sheep. These are all
high grade Hampshire Downs, and are
good looking lot of animals. They are
good source of revenue for the farm
and Mr.. Ward thinks quite a lot of
their money-making qualities. He also
keeps few hogs and a good number of
| hens.
Mr.. Ward, however, devotes most of
his time to his COWS, which he makes
mis- principal business. He has ten of
them, all high grade Jerseys, he makes
butter, selling it on route in North
Vassalboro. Mr.. Ward is a loyer Of
good horse flesh, and occasionally
takes time from the duties of his farm
to come out and see some of the good
ones on Silver street at tryout. For
this purpose he has Nelson colt.
His place has an air OF prosperity
and it is to be seen that he is making
the old farm pay at least dividend on
the money invested, which is better
than some large city stores are doing.
Mr.. Ward, like all successful farmers,
and it is one of the essential elements
of success in anything. loves farming
and his farm and believes that the best
place for the young man, especially if
brought up in the country SO as to
know something of it, is on the farm;
for there he is his own master and his
success there as anywhere depends on
his work, although for the same meas
ure of work there is more success on
, the farm and more substantial returns.
Mr.. Ward would not say with Horace
Greeley, young man, 60 West, but he
would say, young man, buy farm -

What Doctors Make.

There are about 1000 doctors in the
United States, or about one for every
$50 people. 1t has been approximately
estimated that the average yearly in
come of these men is $3.50, or that the
public in this country pays $3.50, 900, 900
annually for medical attendance, omit
ting entirely the money spent for pa
tent medicines which brings millions of
dollars to manufacturers, or the
amounts spent for doctors prescrip
tions, or paid to quacks and CONNER
cial doctors. The preparation for the
practice of medicine that gives a man
good standing in the profession means
an expense of, literally speaking, 81, 900
for four years in reputable medical
school, 81 200 for general expenses dur
ing two years hospital service, and per-
haps another $1,000 for setting up in
practice. A year or two in Europe is
also help.-Leslie's Monthly.

RIVER MEN PREDICTING
UNUSUALLY HIGH WATER

According TO the predictions of the
old riyermen who have watched the
Mississippi for years and are used to
its vagarics, that body of water will
be the highest this spring for IA num-
Der of years, and many of the old
steamboat men go 50 far as to say
that serious damage will be done by
the floods this spring. They state that
unusually heavy SHOWS of the winter
just past will combine with the spring
rains to raise the Mississippi to an
alarming extent. and advise people re-
siding in the river towns to he prepar-
Ell for floods during April and May.
In the north, especially, where the
SHOWS were heavier than they were
here. they claim that the high water
will make itself felt soon. 1t has been
known for some time past that the ice
in the Chippewa and in other large
tributary streams reached enormous
thickness last winter and this will be
an added factor tending towards high
water.

New Pullman SLEEPER.

Owing largely to sanitary consid-
eratiOns the Pullman company has
adopted new standard sleeper which
little resembles the ordinary car built
few years ago. The new standard
is severely plain and is devoid of all
scroll and grill work. The upholstery
has been reduced materially and all
the angles possible have been taken
from the car. Imported mohair has
been adopted as a standard curtain
and the entire design and decoration
and furnishing is planned with view
to minimizing the work of cleaning
the and preventing the Judgment of
germs. All Pullman cars will be built
after the same pattern so that uni
formity in equipment will be attained.

Explorer ON River.

Capt. Hail, after retiring from ac-

the Mississippi river. He would take
long voyages in his skiff, with no 9TH
er companions than his dog, gun and
fishing tackle. He soon became a
familiar figure all along the river for
hundreds of miles and was often re-
ferred to a The Old Man in the
Skif'
Capt. Hall always took deep in
terest in the Davenport Academy of
Sciences, and large part of the In
dian pottery and other relics in the
museum there were donated by him.
These relics were collected by him
upon his numerous voyages on the
river, and during his day he also eN-
plored many of the graves of the
mound builders. as well as of the ear
lier Indians.

CHARACTER GONE
Capt. w. p. Hall, THE Old Man

FROM THE 1NFIRMITIEs OF AGE
Long Voyages on River, With His
Dog as His Only Conn
panioD.

Capt. Wi.frcd p. Hall, better known
as The Old Man in the Skiff," on ac-
count of his familiar parsonage being
seen so often sailing the waters of
the Mississippi, passed away Saturday
shortly after 9 O'Clock at his home at
Rapids City, where he had resided for
Il number of years past.
Death was due to the iHfirnities in
cident to old age, and with his death
occurred the passing of one OF the
pioneer settlers who played an impOr-
tant part in early history hereabout.
Capt. Hall came to Davenport in 1886,
and surrounded by Indians, once had
a corn field on the ground where NOW
stands the Petersen block on Brady
street, between Third and Fourth
streets. His early life was spent
largely on the river, whore he was
engaged in the steamboat and raft
ing business.
Wiffred y. Hall was born July IL.
1922. and was therefore in his SIND
year at the time that he was called
upon to answer the final summons.
He removed to Davenport with his
parents in 1892 and had resided there
almost continuously ever since. For
several years past he had resided with
a daughter at Rapids City.
