Reaches 100000 Homes
Over a Million Readers
A Woman Who Knows How.

A writer, i'm the Tribune Farmer,
describes visit to the home of a
woman farmer She is also poultry
keeper. but as that is only a small
part of her business, we do not re-
serve this for the poultry department,
but put it here where all may have
the benefit of it.
As an exponent of the simple life
ces E. Wheeler, owner and manager
of the ClOvernoOk Duck Ranch at
Chazy, n. Y, is an interesting figure
among the army of women in this
country who support themselves. The
very nature of Miss Wheeler's work
makes for a life that, by its nearness
to nature and its interest in insect
bird and beast, has a charm of sim
plicity which is seldom found among
women who work for their living in
large city.
The impulse to get back to nature
must stir at intervals i'm the heart
of every woman wage-earner who
looks across from her hall bedroom to
the brick walls of the boarding house
opposite and then to the paved street
below, but with the majority the call
must forever be unanswered. Miss
Wheeler. however, obeyed the sum-
mons. with the result that she is
once more a well and happy woman.
putting into her chosen work the
energy and ability that were required
of her as a stenographer in a large
New York office
One beautiful September morning
few weeks ago the writer. desiring
to see at home and at work this wO-
man. who is known to poultry raiscrs
the country over by her ducks and to
magazine readers by her contributions
on their care, took a train at Platts-
burg. Y. Y. for Clovernook.
Half an hour later the train drew
up at the little station of ChaZv, and
an inquiry put to the telegraph opera

Wheeler lived cover there across the

ten minute walk down the railroad

into view a little rambling brown
house, with grape vines heavy with
pUrpling clusters. clambering over it,

SunffowerS standing like sentinels al

to knock the door was Onened and on

Northern New York, as the low CELL
ing makes the little rooms cosey and
warm.
Fire destroyed a brooder house here
last spring at just the time when
twenty ducklings were ready to be
graduated from the incubator, and
nineteen of them died from horror at
finding no broOder ready to receive
them. The twentieth found his LOT
cast with some young turkeys. Miss
Wheeler brought him up OH their
food with the result that he is nearly
twice as large as any one of the other
ducks of about his own age on the
ranch: and henceforth the mistress Of
Clovernook will put her ducklings on
the diet that she uses for turkeys.
Just what this is She will not tell, as
she thinks that the result from the
experiment with the duck has proved
it a secret worth keeping.
Miss Wheeler's success with ducks
and bees has brought her a dozen
offers of marriage within a third as
many years from men in a dozen
different states who have been reused
to declare themselves after reading of
her work. One wOOer-a Westerner-
thus wrote: 81 have twenty-five colo
MES of bees. and as soon as 1 read
that article about your bees, I said
to myself. That is the girl for me-"
Not wishing to deceive Miss Wheeler
as to what he was offering her, he
confessed to only one eye, weak
back and the opium habit
A widower also from the West, sent
a photograph of himself and asked
for information as to her age, the
color of her hair and the number of
teeth she had. And a Texan. 'tsixty-
five years old but lively" who had
run away from his wife. asked per-
mission to work on her farm for the
summer so that he might ''look on her

on a search for him periodically. and
suppose he thought that way up
here he would be safe from her.
"Then there was young boy once
who proposed by letter In answering
him I casually let drop how old was.

my pride"

Notwithstanding the constant calls
from her ducks and bees and the
duties of housekeeping Miss Wheeler
finds time for much writing A great
deal of it is in the form of letters in
response to those received by her
asking for advice in the bee and poul-

FELL ON HIS HEAD
And Youth Was Quite Badly
Injured.

Dennis Jenkins, aged IA, who re-
sides on Durrett avenue, was the
victim of a very painful accident
Friday. He was riding horseback
when the animal became frightened
and started to run off. The horse
fell and the rider was thrown vio-
lently to the ground. Jenkins fell
on his head and his neck was hurt
quite badly. He also sustained sew
eral ugly bruises on his face. His
injuries will lay him up several days.
The horse also injured himself in the
fall. Had it not been for stiff
brimmed cap, which partially broke
the force of the fall, the youths neck
would probably have been broken.
AS it was he had a very close call
with his life.

ALL SHOWS
OPEN TODAY
Fall Festival Features Cam
not Fail to Draw Freely.
SWELL GREAT CROWD.
If Weather Continues Good
Big Success is AS
sured.
SWELL GREAT CROWD.

Shows for the great Fall Festival
and County Fair came in yesterday
on every train. Some of them were
late arriving on account of the de-
layed trains on both roads, but they
all got here all the same" Of
course they were a little late in get
ting up their canvasses, but that
could not be avoided.
Everything will be in full running
order today and visitors are assured
by those having the matter in hand
that every exhibition merits their
most liberal patronage. The spec
ialties are Of a high order, the free
attractions are of a superior charac-
ter and the Fraternal Union has
done everything in its power to fur
nish the people with the best of
everything to be obtained. There is
no connection between any of the
eighteen or twenty attractions, and
everybody may expect a glorious
time during the entire week
Should the weather clerk give US
such weather as he furnished yester-
day, thousands of people will go out
to Mercer Park every day. The
managers expected to offer an extra
inducement last night by having
Lebkuecher' band treat them to an
open air concert. The band is the
best musical organization, probably,
that the city has ever had. 1t is
really one of the city's institutions,
or should be, and the people appre-
ciate it and everybody ought to en-
courage it. The members of the
band are all gentleman and indus
trious citizens and it is to be hoped
that the organization will remain in
tact for many years yet to come.
Everybody is invited to go out to
the Festival grounds and swell the
crowd to immense proportions. This
is the last thing of it's kind for the
remainder of the year. and if
you let this weeks event pass to OBJ
tain recreation your chances are
gone. Turn out andsencourage an
order the principles of which APP
peal to every good parent and citi-
zen.

Down in the historic Southwest, T
that portion of the American continent
whose ancient civilization antedates,
possibly, that Of even old Egypt, a
wonderful work Of transformation Is |
going ON. The magic of irrigation Is |
again making populous and wealthy
the wonderfully fertile lands Of Arl-
zona, which in ages gone by supported
great cities and a dense agricultural
population. The most remarkable
single instance of this development Is
seen In the warm and sunny valley of
the Salt River, where by means OF
irrigation the city Of Phoenix has
arisen, and is soon destined to becomr
one of the large cities of the South
west through the construction Of the
enormous Tonic BASIN Reservoir.
A Homecrofters' Village Is now be
ing formed near Phoenix: it is the out
growth of and combines three great
ideas.
1. That the national government
should irrigate the deserts and drain
the swamps to create opportunities for
men to get homes on the land who
want only sufficient land each to oc-
cupy and use and intensyely cultivate
with his own labor.
2. That the men who want such
homes should be aided to get them by
an organization which should work
solely for the benefit Of the Home
seeker and aid him in every possible
way to get the best quality of land in
small tracts for the lowest possible
price with perfect titles and water
rights.
3. That the success of the Home
seekers who secure those homes should
be promoted through an organization
which would plan to aid in building
village communities where the highest
possible advantages of education, CO.
operation and social life and the most
attractive rural environment would
surround the homes and be part of the
home life Of the residents of the viii
lage.
To carry into practical operation
these three great ideas, three Separate
organizations were in turn Planned
and formed by George II. Maxwell.
The first idea was carried out through
The National Irrigation Association,
which conducted a great campaign for
national irrigation resulting in the en-
actment Of the National Irrigation Act
In June, 1908.
The second idea was formulated and
put into working operation through
the organization of the Rural Settle
ments Association.
The third idea has been embodied
in an organization recently formed
called the Homecrofters' Gid of the
Tallsman, an account Of which was
given in the last issue of this paper.
In each Of these associations Mr.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-08-10

association known as the Salt River
Valley Water Users Association. That
Association contracted with the nation
al government for the construction
under the National Irrigation Act Of
the great Tonic Reservoir which is
now being built on Salt River
Some 20 miles above Phoenix, and
what was once an almost inaccessible
region, visited only by the murderous
Apaches and the old-times outlaws,
the Salt River and its tributary, Tonic
Creek, emerge from a frowning can
yon. Here 1000 men are at work on
the great Tonic dam. This huge
structure will rise 2S4 feet above the
