The west has come to what may be
called three and four horse type of
agriculture-the doing Of all the farm
work just as far as possible with a
large type of machinery, which re-
quires three or four horses to operate.
The gang plow. the twenty-four foot
harrow. the six foot mower. the three
row cultivator, the potato digger and
many other appliances represent how
the machine has displaced the hired
man. the horse being more dependable
than the man.

ALCOHOL FOR POWER.

The certainty that the gas engine Is
to become more and more an important
factor In the transportation methods
of the future as well as In furnishing
cheap and safe power for all pur-
poses suggests the need of providing
cheap gas making material. This
can be found In alcohol, which can be
produced in this country for 10 cents a
gallon, but which is now barred from
use by the revenue laws Of the counl
try. Some congressman can render
the country at large a lasting service
by making an effort to secure such
legislation as will permit of the use of
alcohol for light. heat and power pur-
poses. for 1t yrlnds the average citizen
to have to nay IS cents for gasoline
when oil Is selling at 81 cents for fifty-
two gallons. Nothing would break
down the power of the worst monopoly
which the country fosters like substi-
tuting alcohol for coal oil products.

NO RACE SUICIDE AMONG BIRDS.

We are asked how many of our
birds raise more than one brood Of
young in n season. The English SPAR
row, the most prolific of any Of our
common birds, will begin nesting In
March and keep it up until July and
sometimes even later. 1t is safe to
say that they will hatch from two to
four broods In a season. The quail
will sometimes hatch two broods in a
season, and many other birds, IL they
have their nests broken up or young
destroyed, will incubate the second
time; but, as a general rule, all our
birds. with the exceptions noted, raise
but one brood Of young in a year. This
is wise provision of nature; other
wise birds would easily become one of
the greatest plagues with which the
farmer and fruit grower would have
to contend.

If pasture is to be kept in good
heart and free from weed growth
there should always seem to be room
for more stock in It, n surplus Of grass.
Just as soon as a pasture is fed bare
the grass roots are weakened, and
every chance is given for the weeds to
get good start.

Mourning doves, meadow larks and
robins. which are protected by law at
all seasons in the northern states
where they breed, are common game
birds for the southern states where
they winter. This is unfair. If 1t Is
right to slaughter these birds for food
In the south, the north. which raises
them. should have the same right. AS
a matter OF fact. II is all wrong to
kill them at all, as each variety does
most valuable work as either weed
seed or insect destroyers.

In the same city told us on the fol-
lowing Monday that his sales Of cigars,

1t is said that buff colored eggs will
keep longer than white eggs, the rea-
son given being that they have n
thicker shell. The Brahmas, Cochins
and their kind lay the dark eggs, while
the Leghorn, Houdan and Spanish
fowls lay the white ones. The flavor Of
an egg Is almost wholly dependent
upon the food Of the fowls. The finest
lot of eggs we ever saw. and the
largest as well, were the product Of a
lot of Buff Cochin hens.

The building of roads around and through the park is diff cult and expensive. Within the last three years $75O, GOO has been eXpendeu in improving the ruadWays. After a seven mile ride in our horse tallv-hu we reached Mammoth Hot Springs, which is a very attractive and inter- eSting place. Stretched out before us was a large and beautifully kept lawn, on the east side of which were the red rOOfed buildings and barracks of Fort Yellowstone, the cOmmandlnE officer being superintendent of the park. During the summer mOntnS troops are scattered throughout the park, their duties being to protect the various objects of interest, to see that no specimens are removed, and to prevent the spreading of camp hreS. Several scouts are employed looking after the game.
 On the north side stands the i'm menSe Mammoth Hot Springs hotel, which is built over two eXtlnct gey- SerS. The other buildings are occupied by the Government and Transporta- tiOn company officials stores and post office. Here are kept the TranspOrta- tiOn cOmpdny'S horses, 900 in number: also the horses used by the govern ment officials and soldiers, and large herd of mules for working roads and trucking.

largest lake in North America at this altitude. Here want to speak of the sky. During the whole trip through the park the sky was such deep, dark blue and so clear Every day was cloudless, save one. After 8 ride of 17 miles we came to the Lake hotel, on bluff above that beautiful sheet of blueSt water, Yellowstone lake. The view from here is most reStful and charming. The road from the lake to the Grand Canyon is through the val ley of the Yellowstone the entire dis tance of IT miles, the most of the way and sea gulIs on our way. When about five miles from the Lake hotel we stopped to view that wonderful object called the Mud Volcano. It is pit 30 feet,deep and from an Openingson one side at the bottom, boiling mud is constantly belched with great violence accompanied by a hideouS, repulsive noise and odor. This was the most weird place we saw. We arrived at the Car on hotel about noon. This ranks among the most magnificent per and lower falls of the Yellowstone river are interesting. At the head of the upper fall the river is about 80 feet wide where it plunges over shelf between the banks that are 200 or more feet in height upon rocks 12O feet below. Half mile below this is the lower fall which is more sublime and higher than the upper. Here is drop of 36O feet. The grand canyon of the Yellowstone is 20 miles long, 120O feet deep and 2O00 feet wide. There may be deeper gorges elsewhere but none can excel in impressive beau tV tho marVplOuS1V cO1Orp6 riff through which the Yellowstone river winds it's way after it's last grand leap. The sides are in places nearly perpen- dicular, though generally slop ng and beautifully colored beyond all descrip- 1 tion. Those of you who have seen it know just how beautiful it is. Those who have not 1 wish might. DeScrip- | tionS and pictures can give you ideas of it but neither can do it justice.

 At an early hour we leave this gOr- geOus chaSm for Norris basin where
 we have lunch and wander out again to look at the Black Growler, the En- erald pool, the Bath Tub and a few nearby attractions leaving early in the afternoon. We retrace our steps to the Mammo Hot Springs hotel, where we change clothing and prepar e to leave the park in the evening.

at least 12 inches wide. The door was opened and closed with a great iron thumb piece and latch. The key with which the door was locked was all of 20 inches in length. All rooms and doors on the first floor were built entirely or logs. The chandeliers were of logs. The electric light fixtures were a TO- inch support of .cellulOid which looked much like candles. The stair and bal cony balustrades on the second and third floors were of gnarly, knotty crooked pine branches beautifully pol ished. The stair tread IS a log, cut ID half, flat side up. The hat racks near the dining room door were trees with the branches sawed off so as to leave pegs to hang hats on. The dining room is 60 feet square and high, hay. a roof ceiling. At one end is huge
 stone chimney. in which was an inn mense fireplace. All china used in the dining room was the very dark blue. The windows are plate glass and from nearly every one Old Faithful geyser can be seen.

 Faithful Inn. After a drive of about two miles we halt for the purpose of viewing the wonders of Hell's Half Acre. A great cloud of steam attract ed our attention and upon inquiry were told it was Excelsior geyser, the largest in the world. Judging from the noise and steam which came from it there must have been great aglta- tion in it's immense pit. We were also told that it had not spOute0 since lo9O, being stopped at that time by soap be- ing thrown into it. A few feet away is Turquoise Spring, so called from the beautiful colorings at the bottom and sides. A little farther on we came to Prismatic Lake, one of the most beau- tifu] things of it's kind in the park. The formations in the bottom and on the sides are in colorings of blue, green, orange and red. A short ride from here takes us to Old Faithful Inn, the most unique and artistic structure in the park. Both the bulld- ings and it's furnishings are thoroughly modern in every respect. The pillars in front of the building are of rough stone at the base mounted by yellow pine logs built up cob fashion.
