A NOVEL BANQUET.

We attended a banquet not long
since, and we believe no such banquet
was ever before given in this country.
1t was given by the business men OF
a western town, where bad roads have
been the rule since the country was
first settled, to about fifty farmers liv-
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 a novel
and altogether unique function, and
the plan adopted by both business men
and farmers might we'll 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. 1t is further worth not
ing that the work done by the fifty
farmers was all gratuitous and done I'LL
addition to paying their road taxes.
Where men feel this way the bad road
will soon be thing Of the past

For the first time in the history Of
the west there are many farmers more
proud Of the highways which they have
cared for the past summer adjoining
their farms than any other thing con-

PASSING OF THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN.


The year 1906 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. It is simply i'm
possible for it to hold it's 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
we'll recall the days when these birds
contributed not a 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 it was husked early in the fall,
when one could go out after rain in
August with a 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 cornfelds. 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 Faao-
bits and venison in winter. The mi
gratory wild fowl geese and ducks
have not suffered so much from the
furious onslaught, but year by year
they are more carefully avoiding all
the more densely settled sections Of the
west.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1905-11-16

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 big point has been made in the use
Of the manure spreader in this-that the
hired man really likes to get out the
manure from the barnyard when one is
used. Under the old method there was
no work on the farm which was more
distasteful to him.

A few years ago this country was de
pendent largely upon Spain for all the
raisins it used. Now California en-
tirely supplies the home demand and
has surplus left for less favored

Eggs are an economical ration at any
price under Is cents a dozen. When
they get above this figure they become
expensive and may be classed as lux

In a speculative way much real es-
tate is traded in by spectators insight
and unseen While this may be all
right for the spectators, it is all wrong
for the man who wants to make home.

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.

FISH, GAME AND CIVILIZATION.

Man naturally likes to fish and hunt
for living. He is not to blame for
this, as tt 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 a wild state
he can keep the country the better tie
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 and the pOssum
and catching mud cats in the streams
/ Thus the mongrel bred hound became
almost as much Of fixture around the
! home Of the colored man, and also Of
the poor white, as was the bunch of
pickanlnnles playing around the door
or the sallow faced white woman dip
ping snuff White and black met on
common ground In the hunting field,
while the bay Of the hounds on 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
u be converted every winter.

About as much money can be made
off a small piece Of land when devoted
to celery culture as any other crop
which can be raised. This is crop
which requires quite good deal Of
hand labor and not a little skill, but it
pays the grower very handsomely.

The agricultural department at
Washington has undertaken a series Of
interesting experiments with the sweet
clover plant to determine what its val
lie is as soil renovator for wornout
soils. This plant is one Of the most
easily and surely grown Of all the
legumes-in fact has a way of intro
ducing itself to the extent that it is
rated as weed pest through much Of
the country 1t grows rank and tall
on the poorest soils and seems as much
at home on clay knoll or a sandbar as
on the richest alluvial soils. It has al
ways seemed to us as though it must
have some mission, and if 1t possesses
the same soil nitrifying power that
clover or alfalfa have there is a lot of
land where it can do good work upon
which these plants will not grow at all.
Waste acres on the farm lie in con-
nection with the depression which
needs tile draining and which In q wet
season never produces any crop save
weeds, with old straw stack bottoms
scattered in spots over the grainfelds,
with the pasture so heavily stocked
tina. the growth is mostly weeds, with
the ten foot strip of weedy waste
which lies adjoining so many line
fences, with the rod wide strip off good
land which, dedicated to the public for
highway purposes and not used, should
instead be growing some crop Of value
instead Of weeds, to many steep bill
side which men will persist In cultivat-
Ing when it should grow nothing save
grass or timber. Before seeking more
acres In Canada or Dakota man
should look over the old farm and see
where be can reclaim a lot Of land to
which be already has title.

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.

Hunting bee trees is quite favorite
pastime in the fall where the native
timber Is still unmolested. It is an old
unWritten law that the bee tree and
its honey belong to the man who discov-
ers them, and this law is generally re-
spected In the newer portions of the
country but where the country is well
settled the real law comes in, and the
tree and the bees belong to the owner
Of the land upon which they may be
found.

With prices for farm products re
naming as they have been for the past
ten years, the quarter section farm in
diligently managed and cultivated
should pay the owner a salary Of $1,000
a year and per cent interest upon his
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
ing fault with the administration.

There Is near Philadelphia a market
gardener with just one acre of land,
and he grows each year pieplant to the
value to him Of SIPS from the roots
which he has planted right under the
wire fence which surrounds his lot. We
know Of thousands Of farmers all
through the west who grow ten feet of
most luxuriant weeds along all the
fence rows on their farms, and they do
not get $125 out Of them either.

Nineteen hundred and five is a fat
year for all the great west and north
west, good crops everywhere, no
Warping droughts, no untimely frosts,
the fall season just a genial round
up of the best Of weather conditions,
insuring perfect maturing in a nat
ural way Of all crops and the gathering
and saving of them without waste.
And with. all the abundance of the
crops the prices of all farm produce
remain at very satisfactory and prof
liable figures. It is not claiming too
much to say that the farmers Of the
country as whole are in very pros
porous condition. There, should be a
good time this Thanksgiving on all the
farms, and big turkey should be in
process Of fattening to properly cele-
brate the holiday.

It is in order to suggest the impera-
tive necessity OF looking after ali young
fruit trees this fall and see that they
are properly protected from the rabbits
during the winter. When the cold
weather comes there Is nothing which
bunny likes quite SO we'll as the tender
bark Of the apple tree, and even one or
two fSbbits can do hundred dollars
WORTH Of damage in very short time
by girdling the trees. We have had our
fight with these pests and have found
that the best way is to hunt them down
persistently with dogs and ferrets and
pay premium for every rabbit killed
in the vicinity Of the orchard. We have
also used poison quite effectually,
grain of strychnine inserted into sec
ton Of apple stuck on a stick and
placed in their runWays. In addition,
we have always wrapped the trunks Of
all young trees with paper, and in the
use Of these preventives have escaped
with but small loss from this source.

the owner had sown rape at the time
Of the last blowing. The rape was not
very good in October; neither was the
corn. 1t is pretty hard matter to get

There is class Of petty offenses
which afflict every civilized community
with which the law deals altogether
too leniently. There is the case of the
man who comes home drunk and
abuses his wife, the neighbor who will
persist in keeping hens in town to tear
up your garden, the boys who rob mel
on patches and orchards, the chicken
thief, the killing Of song birds and the
spOliation Of theis nests, the men who
plaster the floors Of smoking cars and
the sidewalks with tobacco Juice. the
violation Of the laws protecting fish
and game, the people who are cruel
and unkind to animals and to women
and children-a class off offenses which
are rarely adequately punished, If pun
iShed at all, and which some way seem
to need some quick and effective treat
ment such as all good citizens feel ike
administering when such cases arise.
We know that the public whipping
post is regarded as a relic Of barba-
rism, but the fact remains that in ey-
cry community there are cases than
which no kind Of punishment would
be more fitting and proper.

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