PROFIT IN RAISING WOLVES,
Tovva Farmer Tells of Possibilities,
 Under Bounty Law.

Tovvm Farmer Tells of Possibilities,
 Under Bounty Law.
 Raising hogs has always been re garded as a profitable industry, but raising wolves has it beaten ten ways, according to special dispatch from Burlington, Ia, to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. It has come to the ears of Des Moines county officials that the latter occupation is being carried on systematically by few farmers, who hope to reap good profit next spring. The county pays s2 for every cub wolf scalp presented at the auditors of flee and @ for every old wolf's scalp. It has been noticed for several years past that certain farmers have been reaping a rich harvest each spring on the bounties they received for wolf scalps. It is rarely that an old wolfs scalp is presented, and this fact served to arouse the suspicious of the county officials.
 A farmer from one of the townships where the wolves have been particu- larly plentiful was in Burlington re- gently and unburdened himself of a few lunches concerning the wolf in dustry.
 Its more profitable to raise wolves than it is hogs" said this farmer. If you have noticed, the scalps of the old wolves are never turned in for bounty. There is good reason for this, as the elimination of the old wolves would put an end to the propagation of the species, also put an end to the collec- ton of wolf bounties. Why, I know a farmer who has considerable timber land on his place who has several old wolves that are as tame as shotes.
 Tt costs little or nothing to keep them, and every spring when the young wolves are born the lair is in- vaded and the youngsters knocked on the head before their eyes are open. They mean $2 apiece at the auditor s office.
 It's surprising how fairly domes- ticated pair of wolves will make race suicide look silly. If an effort was made I warrant that every wolf in the county could be exterminated in short time. but what's the use of exterminating them when little en- couragement will keep them alive and breeding two dollar bills?"
 It is said an investigation will be made by county officials into this state of affairs and the enterprising wolf breeders prosecuted.

I CHARMS OF CORN HUSkING
Plan of Missouri Farmers to Procure
 Huskers.


 The farmers of Brown county, in Missouri, have adopted novel plan to get corn huskers, says the Kansas City Journal. They have joined together to advertise what health invigorator corn husking is. Here Is the circular they are scattering broadcast:
 Corn husking beats golf, automobil- ing, watching football games and sani- tariums all hollow. You go down to the cornfield and get job from a farmer, who thanks you for coming. You eat hearty meal and go to bed early. You rise with the sun. You do a few chores around the farm yard till breakfast time. You eat as you never ate before. You go out to the field, take your three rows, husk the ears, throw them in the wagon that follows you and the other huskers. You hop lightly over the frosty ground from hill to hill You breathe the pure, crisp air. You whistle and sing and enjoy life for the first time, and you be- gin at about o'clock to long for the dinner bell that does not ring till noon.
 "You can talk politics while you husk or you can discuss the life insurance investigation or you may catch up with the work alongside the girl who is husking in the other three rows and help her now and then, and you can listen to her and plan for the dance on Saturday night or you can do all most anything you please in an at tempt to drown your appetite, and when the bell rings or the dinner horn blows you will have earned the meal that is awaiting you and the half hours rest that follows. and you will feel as if you do not care If you ever see the smoky city again.
 And all through the afternoon you will wonder If it will ever be supper time and bedtime and if your hand can possibly hold out until you have got the end of the line. You will be tired, but you will be so we'll that you will pause now and then to wonder what you would do if yon only had as much of everything else as you have of health"
 The farmers of the corn belt should get together. as other interests do, and advertise the attractions of husking.

ROSES FOR CATCHING RATS.

Agricultural Department to Test the
 Flowers as Rodent Bait.
 The use of choice roses as rat bait is to be experimented upon by the biolog- ical bureau of the department of agri- culture, says the Washington Post. The bureau has been informed of "a number of cases where rodents that spurned tempting cheese and crackers were easily enticed by rose, and it is believed that the result of the ex- periments proposed by the bureau will be to show conclusively that these flowers surpass cheese, crackers, rinds of bacon and other baits that are com monly used to entice the rats into traps.
 It is explained, that it is not so much the taste of roses, that attracts the rat as 1t is their fragrance, and for this reason roses are expected to be the popular bait of the future.
 Cases have been known where TO- dents, attracted by the sweet perfume of a rose in house, have gnawed through doors to get at the flower. Rats have been known to become sus- picious of traps with the familiar bait of cheese and bacon rlnds and easily eyade trap for long time. From experience it has been found that white roses, such as the dainty bride rose or the snowy nephitos. have proved pref erable in rat catching. One or two of these fragrant flowers are placed in the wire caged trap. and 1t Is stated that it will not take long for Mir. Rodent to be tempted by the enticing and sweet smelling bait.
 The power of a rose as rat bait is said to have originated In California about two years ago, but 1t was no; until recently that the flower was used to any extent. Now that the govern ment has officially recognized the rose as a rat catcher and will doubtless in- dorse it the flower will probably be- come a common method of enticing rats to the death traps.

PLAN TO SAVE TREES.
Details of Canadian Forestry Cos

Details of Canadian Forestry Cos.
 vention to Be Held In Ottawa.
 The announcement that Canadian forestry convention, called by Sir Vii. frid Laurier and having the support of the Dominion and provincial govern ments, Is to be held in Ottawa on Jan 10, Il and F, is not only of importance to the Canadian people. but to the United States as well, says special dispatch from Ottawa t6 the Chicago Record Herald.
 The forest wealth of Canada is one of the best natural assets of the Unit ed States, and much American capital is already interested in it's develop ment. Anything therefore that will insure a permanency to those who in. vest their money in the Canadian lum- bering industry and other industrial enterprises which owe their stability to the initial influences of the forest and increase their value must be of more than passing interest.
 Hitherto the products of the forest on this continent have been regarded by most people in similar light as the products of the mine. The more that was taken away the less. as 1t was usually considered, would be left. No serious consideration has in the past been given to reproduction of for est wealth. and as a result the forests have been cut or burned with great prodigality.
 The principal divisions in which the subject will be discussed will include the national interest in the forest, the relations of the forest and the lumber, pulp and other industries of the coun- try, forestry in relation to agriculture. the influence of the forest on water power and irrigation and forestry ed- ucation. In Europe the forestry ex- perts are now looking to Canada as one of the worlds great sOdrces for the lumber supply of the future. The Unit ed States is referred to as apparently feeling the pinch of decreasing forest supplies and is already drawing large ly on Canada to make up the de6cit-

DEATH ENDS RACE.
Millionaire's Auto, at Racing
 Speed, Turns Turtle.
JAMES E. E.MARTIN'SLIFECRUSHRDOUI
Wife Saw Him KiIIed-six En Big Panhard Touring Car Injured. Chauffeur Faure Held by
 the Police.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-It was while racing at a mile a minute past flu neral procession to oyertake the auto mobile of his son that James E. Mar tins great fifty horsepower Panhard turned turtle at Broadway and White stone road. Flushing, Sunday even ing, instantly crushing the life out of it's millionaire owner and injuring ev- cry one of the six persons who had been his companions in the wild race.
 Mrs. Martin, in her sons car, who saw her husband flung headlong through tse aafao fall under the wreck age of the somersaulting car, is in a critical condition from shock and pros tration, and the tragedy may have a doubly tragic sequel.
 The victims of the disaster are: James E. Martin of sO3 Fifth avenue, retired banker and brother of Bradley Martin, skull crushed; dead. Daniel Bacon, back badly hurt, injured in ternally. Mrs. Daniel Bacon, legs cut and bruised. Mrs. Edward A. Ma nice, the famous golfing expert, contu- sions about body and head. Stacy Clark, back, shoulders, head and leg bruised and cut. Mrs. ]. Allen Town send, decorations and contusions. Alex ander Faure, chauffeur, bruised and cut about the head and shoulders.
 The whole party left the clubhouse bound to New York in three automo- piles.
 In his Mercedes car Mfr. Martin, Jr.. with his mother beside him, was lead ing the way. He had gained consid- erabIe lead. MT. Martin. Sr.. ordered his chauffeur. a man used to daring the dangers of the road and race track. to let the Panhard out and take the lead. The son, detecting the move, opened his lever to the last notch.
 There was a funeral procession in the road. but the laboring automobiles swept past the carriages and the hearse like wheeled whirlwinds. going to the very edge of the macadam to avoid collisions The Panhand. by all accounts. was travelling sixty or sixty five miles an hour.
 On Broadway the older Martin told his driver to pass the Mercedes at once.
 At this place an open ditch four feet deep ends just beyond where the two autos were drawing abreast
 Faure in swerving to the left ran the left front wheel of his car against the soft earth where the trench had been filled in.
 That wheel thudded against the edge Of the trench and sank almost to the hub in the soft earth. The effect of this and of the high momentum was to send the huge car up in the air poised on that uniucky left front wheel. For one dizzy instant 1t hung in that position and then fell down to the left of the road.
 Mr. Martin was flung high in the air. He dropped with tremendous force un- der the upturned machine. and it set tied on his head.
 His wife. looking back from the other car. saw the whole thing. She scream ed and fainted.
 Faure was taken a prisoner to the Flushing hospital There he was held. the police charging him with homicide in that. as thev asserted. be had caused Mir. Martins death through negligence
