Another Carnegie Story.

Among the many stories that Andrew
Carnegie delights to tell of the canny
Scot is one in which Lord Derby and a
collier figure, says the Cleveland Leader.
1t appears that while the latter was one
day wandering on certain land belonging
to Derby, the collier CHANGED to meet the
owner face to face. His lordship inquired
if the other knew on whose estate he was
trespassing.
"Well, I've got no land of my own, and
I like to walk on somebody's. Wheer
did tha' get it fro'?" asked the collier.
II got it from my ancestors" replied
the earl good.naturedly.
can wheer did they get it fro'?'
querried the trespasser.
"Why," continued Derby, humoring
the collier, "they got it from their ances-
tors"
can wheer did they get it fro'?"
"They fought for it."
Whereupon the collier put up his fists,
and squaring up to the earl, exclaimed:
"Weel, I'll fight thee for it."

A singular rescue was effected In
New York CITY recently By means Of a
human span Of hfe. The cover Of the
manhole which afforded entrance to a
sewer bad been broken, and police
man placed barrel over the hole to
prevent any one from tumbling into
the sewer through It The barrel at
once became the subject Of tnvestiga-
ton hy several hundred small boys.
Among the boys was Meyer Schneider,
a stx-yeasoh youngster, with all the
curiosity usual IN boys Of his age.
Meyer and bis friends had been the
first to discover that there was mys-
tery In the placing Of that barrel there
80 securely, and, Of course, the only
thing remaining to be done was to
climb to the top and peer down.
The climb was difficult for the boys
could barely reach the top Of the bar
rel With their hands, and for some time
all attempts were IN vain until Meyer,
amid the pIaudits Of the multitude and
with great effort, managed to pub him
self ur Tar enough to throw bis legs
over he top. An instant later his body
followed. There came one shrek, and
his fingers disappeared, and then to the
ears Of bis friends there came muf
fed splash and a still more mu6ed cry.
Meyer was gone.
Rosie Doznberg, looking out Of an
upper STORY window Of her home, saw
the disappearance and set up a shout
that could be heard above the din on
the street
little Meyer Schneider has fallen
into the sewer! Hetl drown!' This re-
peated continuously and with a rising
infection brought several hundred per-

Improved Lands.

A prominant farmer of this section was
talking to a crowd several days ago and
incidentally it came up about the price Of
farming lands of this county.
81 bought my farm several years ago at
a moderate price; today I am offered
three times that price for the same land.
There is an increase of value going on
hereabout. I wish it were possible to
double my farm at the price T am now
offered for my land, which is no small
figure"
And it is just the same way all through
this section. This county of Bamberg is
developing, for this statement from one
man was followed by others of the same
nature.
Bamberg is coming to be the centre of
trade for this section of the State; pro.
gressive and accumulative farmers with
up to date and liberal merchants is bound
to tell.

The Gun Climb.

The regular meeting of the Bamberg
Gan Club was held Monday afternoon
The club was in jolly mood and pleas
nt.shoot was had, in addition to the gen.
eral good time commenting on the work
of the members.
When the first squad opened up, and
when they had finished their first five
shoots it looked like the club would never
have to buy any new birds, the ones
thrown from the trap were safe and with
out hurt.
But as the shoot progressed there was
something to make the boys who were
scrambling for the shells used by the
marksman, feel that it was not shame
to take the shells.
When all the precints were heard from
and tallyman Mr.. Wright called the game
the score stood with Messrs. G. Moye
Dickinson, and h. F. Bamberg tied, both
having fourteen out of twenty-five to
their credit, which by the way is not so
high score as has been tailed in these
shoots.
The score is as follows for Mondays

Wild Turkeys.

A good many people do not know
that wild turkeys are still in existence
| in various parts of the country and
that their existence in the wild state
has a direct bearing on our poultry
| industry because of the crosses that
are frequently made between them
and the domesticated varieties. It
might be well III the state governments
would take measures to keep the wild
turkey from extinction. DomesticatIon
has its advantages, but 1t also has its
disadvantages.
Wild turkeys have vigor that the
general run of domesticated turkeys
do not possess. This is due to their
wild life in the open air and their con-
slant dependence on the food they
have to hunt or is due to the fact that
the battle for the mastery among the
male birds still goes on among them
as of old. Thus Alny male turkey
is killed by his stronger and more Wig
orous rivals. Doubtless this has an
important bearing in keeping up the
vigor of the stock.
IL las bCSh AoNhu tAdb Wy
a wild male and mating him with tame
females of the Bronze variety progeny
of exceptional vigor is produced. IL
we permit the wild turkey to be put
out of existence there will be an end
to this improvement in vigor unless
breeders are able to put more science
into their breeding operations than
they have been able to do up to the
present time.
1t might be a good idea where the
wild birds are in proximity to the do
mesticated turkey flock to let the
males fight it out. This has been
done sometimes with the result that
the domesticated male has given I'D
the ghost and the other has taken pos
session of the flock.
Now and then the nest of the wild
turkey hen is found in the woods and
the eggs taken to the hennery to be
Matched. The poults that come from
such eggs are healthier and harder
than those from eggs of the domesti-
Gated hen; but care has to be taken to
prevent the young birds from resum-
ing the wild habits of their parents.

An Oregon Chicken House

AS promised some time ago I will
endeavor to give the readers of the
Farmers Review an idea of the war
mint" proof chicken house constructed
by me. AS we live in the wild and
brushy west, where wildcats, minks,
weasels, skunks and coons are as plen-
tiful as rabbits in Australia, we have
to protect our poultry or we would
have none. This is necessary the
more so as the poultry business is Sec
ond to none in the United States. II is
my belief that tight houses and poor
water are responsible for the great
mortality among fowls every summer.
My building is 12x2o feet in size and
| always have from 20 to 120 fowls
and have had during the past ten
years, and in all that time have not
lost to exceed six grown fowls.
The building stands three feet six
inches above the ground; that is, 1t Is
that distance from the ground to the
floor. The house itself is box-shaped,
built of 1x12 lumber, without battens.
In summer the cracks open one-fourth
inch. These close up in winter. There
is door in the end and window in
the south side.
The entrance for the chickens Is on
the opposite end from the door. The
orifice is made of tin oil can about
9a inches square and IA inches long.
You can get this at any paint shop.
Cut out the ends and cut hole In the
house the size of the can. One end of
the can should be cut diagonally from
corner to corner, and each piece bent
back at right angles to the can to nail
to the wall on the inside of house.
Let the entire length of the can pro-
Ject outside. The entrance should be
about three inches above the floor.
On the outride right opposite the
entrance and about four feet away, set
a round post, the top OF which should
be two inches lower than the en-
trance. On the post put a one-gal-
lon milk pan (an old one will do); put
1t upside down and nail fest.
From this lay boara OF proper
end Of the can. Nail board down to
the post on top or the pan. In front
of entrance and inside building set
board two feet long, IA inches wide,
about 13 inches from entrance. Then
take another board of same size and
lay on top, mailing one edge to the
wall and the other on top of the edge
Of the other board. This is to prevent
the wind from blowing in.
Now IL the floor of the building is
sufficiently tight not even a rat can
get in.
Now, Mr.. Editor, wish to say that
| am no chicken crank. 1t is not only
the chicken house that has made poul-
try raising a success with me- but my
success is also due to the lady that
has prepared the fowls for the table
for me for the past fifty years.-David
Ruble, Lincoln County, Oregon, in

To Save the Forests.

There is said to be great awaken
ing in the world of numbering relative
to the necessity for taking steps to
save the forests. The lumber com.
panies have been the greatest trans
gressors in the past, if we may believe
the words of those that have been to
the numbering camps and have looked
over the situation. The work has been
carried on in the past with the evil
dent idea that 1t is necessary to lum-
Der over one region but once; that the
supply of trees is great enough to
Yield all the lumber this generation re-.
Iuires and that the next generation
IAN look after itself.
Now the wise men among the lum.
ser kings are declaring that 1t is good
business to look after the future sup
bly, of lumber as well as that of the
present day; that we have a duty to
perform toward our children; and that
his duty can be no longer neglected.
t is interesting to note that several
Vt the large numbering companies are
low cooperating with the government

The Hen In Winter.

Reviewing the difficulty in getting
Mrs. Hen to lay eggs 1t may be said
that she eats insectivora so largely in
the summer as to suffer severely the
loss OF meat dietary, especially IL
in order to live she has to eat corn
morning, noon and night. She then
simply converts herself into a grease
pot wherein neither eggs nor healthy
meat can exist. Offal meat-fresh-
is cheap feed with boiled wheat In
place of corn, and place to live in
SIS to so degrees, where they can re-
tire when 1t is too cold to their liking
outside. When she produces over one
billion dozen eggs per annum 1t is
just as well to help her in her noble
work when "de punkin done got froze
an de turkey loss he toes"
What an auxiliary to egg producing
is found in cabbage, beets, mangle,
rutabaga, an SIGH! Those who pre-
pare them for the winter time when
eggs are worth money know and those
only. Mr.. Hayseed.

Good Cows in Denmark.

The Danes have established very
good system of testing cows and of
culling their herds. One cannot Gull
out the poor cows without knowing
which are the poor cows. Societies
have been formed for the purpose of
employing a man to go among the
herds constantly and test the cows.
1t is reported that at the present time
there are over 300 such societies, and
that they represent more than 100000
cows. This means that over 800 men
are constantly employed in doing the
testing. The culling comes as a nat
ural result, as no man will keep a
poor COW if he is going to dispose of
any. Likewise no man will sell a
profitable COW if he is financially able
to keep her.
