adversary who had been awaiting
my motions with impotence. God
knows he did look young; as he stood
with his head bare and his fair hair
dropping over his smooth woman's

FISH, GAME AND cuy1L1zAT1or.


Man naturally likes to fish and hunt
for living. He is not to blame fory
this, as it is an instinct which comes
to him in hereditary way. The sim
pie ability to be able to make living
in this manner quite often interferes
with any desire on his part to make
what we call progress and develop the
country, for the nearer in wild state
he can keep the country the better the
hunting and the fishing and the easier
will it be for him to make a living
that way. The abundance of fish and
game in the southern states has al
ways been hindrance to the develop
ment of the colored race, there being
nothing which modern civilization
can offer him which will take the place
of hunting the coon aid the possum
and catching mud cats in the streams.
Thus the mongrel bred hound became
almost as much Of a fixture around the
home of the colored man, and also of
the poor white, as was the bunch of
pickaninnies playing around the door
or the sallow faced white woman dip
w
common ground In the hunting field,
while the bay Of the hounds OH the
trail of the bear or the deer was the
sweetest of music to both races. Just
In proportion as the game disappears
civilization advances and fewer be-
comes the number of dogs kept and as
soon as the last coon and possum are ex-
terminated the colored brother will be
able to respect his neighbours chicken
roost and melon patch and not have to
be converted every winter.
PASSING OF THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN.
The year 1905 sees the almost total
extinction of the prairie chicken in.
Iowa, Minnesota and all the eastern
half of Kansas, Nebraska and the two
Dakotas This splendid game bird is
disappearing just as did the buffalo and
the passenger pigeon. 1t is simply inn
possible for it to hold Its own with pot
hunters, market shooters, repeating and
breechloading shotguns and the utter
Indifference and contempt with which
the American people regard all laws
for the preservation of wild life. We
well recall the days when these birds
contributed not little to the well be-,
ing of the pioneer settlers, when they
were SO numerous that at times they
were very destructive to the corn crop,
unless 1t was husked early in the fall,
when one could go out after rain in
August with good dog and knock as
many birds over with an OK CAD as he,
wanted and when it was easy to trap
them by the dozen in the winter in
the cornfields. In those days prairie
chicken, plover, mallard ducks and
pickerel, pike and bullheads formed
the staple meat rations of nearly all
pioneer communities, varied with rab-
bits and venison in winter. The mi
gratory wild fowl-geese and ducks
have not suffered 50 much from the
furious onslaught. but year by year
they are more carefully avoiding all
the more densely settled sections of the
west.

When the wild fowl begin to migrate
to the south it is time to begin to get
ready for winter in good earnest. We
always feel sorry for these fellows who
always wait for winter to come before
they get ready for it.

A NOVEL BANQUET.


since, and we believe no such banquet
was ever before given in this country.
1t was given by the business men Of
q western town, where bad roads have
been the rule since the country was
first settled, to about fifty farmers liy-
ing in the territory tributary, these
farmers having agreed with the afore-
said business men last spring to take
care of about fifty miles of country
highways by. the new method Of drag
ging them after every hard rain. The
work accomplished was in every way
so excellent and beneficial to the trade
Of the town that the banquet was Civ
en- the farmers in recognition Of their
good work. 1t was certainly novel
and altogether unique function, and
the plan adopted by both business men
and farmers might well be adopted by
other communities to their very great
advantage. Just compare this with the
old way Of working the roads, where
the men who were working out their
tax were easily found under the shade
Of a cottonwood tree spinning yarns at
$3.50 per day. It is further worth not
ing that the work done by the fifty
farmers was all gratuitous and done in
addition to paying their road taxes.
Where men feel this way the bad roai
will soon be thing Of the past.

For the first time in the history Of

DAIRY. SANITATION.

We feel that it is always in order to
say word about sanitation in tho
dairy business. the imperative neces-
sity Of cleanliness in all that pertains
to the production of milk and butter.
No substance is more sensitive to bad
odors than milk, and nothing will abb
sorb and retain them so we'll. The gos-
pei of cleanliness should begin with the
attire and the personal habits of the
man who cares for and milks the COWS;
it must be omnipresent in the cow
barn, always observed in the care Of
all utensils used in the business. The
all too common practice of wetting
the teats of the COW with her own milk
In the milking process is dairy sin of
the worst type, when a drop or two OF
vaseline accomplish the same purpose
and will not innoculate the milk 1t is
probably stating an unpleasant truth
to say that it is the introduction of
COW manure into the milk in the num-
berless ways which are easily possible
where dirty dairy methods prevail
which more than any other thing is the
primary cause Of bad favored butter.
1t requires not little work to keep
the dairy COW and the methods en-
ployed in the milking clean, but if one
is not willing to recognize the impor-
lance of cleanliness in this business he
had better let somebody else keep the
cows.

Wherever it is possible to feed off
crops on the land where grown it is
always good for the land. This is a
much more common custom in Eng
land than it is in this country, the enor-
nous crops Of turnips and quite good
deal of their vetch and clover crops
being fed off in sections by sheep by
the use Of portable fences.

The black currant which is so ex-
tensively grown and used in England
and on the continent is very rarely
found in our American fruit gardens.
We do not understand why this should
be SO, as the fruit has very fine
flavor and there would seem to be no
reason why it would not do as well as
the red and white varieties.

There is hardly spot on the CONT

home in new country is today pic
mic compared with what it used to be.

With prices for farm products re-

ten years, the quarter section farm in
diligently managed and cultivated
should pay the owner salary of 81 1000

Investment. 1t could be made to do
better than this. If it is not done, and
in many cases it is not, something needs
looking into before man goes to find

A big point has been made in the use
of the manure spreader in this-that the

no work on the farm which was more
distasteful to him.

Wheat, barley and oats are the most
adaptable of all crops grown by the
farmer. These will grow and do we'll
from Texas to Assiniboia, where they
are assured of sufficient supply of
moisture. Corn is much more sensitive
to the question of latitude, demanding
a greater degree Of heat and moisture
and much longer season in which to
mature.
