We know lady who makes clean
$500 every year out of her poultry.
She uses incubators and adopts the
yard system in caring for her chickens.
There Is no business today in sight for
unemployed women which offers so
much Of pleasure and profit as does the
poultry business. Many an overworked
schoolteacher could take up this bust
ness with benefit TO her health and her

Some attention is being paid by west
ern farmers 10 the low priced farms Of
the east. The western farmer should
approach this subject with much eau
ton. for on many Of these farms the
soil is gone beyond redemption. so erod

tilizers, that there is nothing to work
ON. The improvements. the markets,
the transportation facilities. the water
supply may all be of the highest order,

A leading agricultural Journal refers
to timothy as legume and valuable
soil fertilizer. This is queer mistake
for a paper to make, as 1t is neither a

While most farmers are quick to ap-
preciate the value OF good blood in all
their breeding animals many are
strangely reluctant TO apply the same
rule TO the seed sown and planted in
their tields. 1t matters not whether II
be corn OF any OF the small grains, the
fact remains that the poor and inferior
seed II sown on planted Is certain to
be the prime begetter Of n poor and in
ferior crop. No work done on the farm
is so we'll paid as is that devoted to
careful selection and thorough prepa-
ration OF the seed to be sown.

An interesting object lesson for the
farmer who is Indifferent to the neces-
sity Of proper crop rotation and soil
renewal is found in some districts OF

The year 1906 sees the practical finish
of the white pine lumber interest of the
north. The great mills which for fifty
years have been eating away at the
splendid pine forests of Minnesota, Wis
consin and Michigan ure being disman-
tied, their tall smokestacks remaining
as monuments OF a vanished and
mighty industry. The energies of the
northern lumbermen are being trans
ferred to the long leaf pine districts of
the south and the mighty conifers of
the Pacific slope. The price of lumber
al through the central west is con-
stantly advancing and Is today based
about on what it costs to lay the coast

they pay TOO much for their feeders

DEATH Or lI ! RI VAIL.

DIED Monday evening Myrtle
VAIL, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. 81. Vail, aged ten years.
Myrtle had been taken i'll with
throat trouble the week before, and
on Friday had gone to school in
order to take the examination
which was held on that day. Being
of studious nature she did not
want to miss the examination and
get behind in her classes. On
Sunday evening she became worse
and all that loving hands could do
to alleviate the sufferings Of the
loved one was done, but death
came and claimed his own. She
was loved by her school compan-
ions with whom she was a great
favorite and she will be missed by
her classmates. In the home
there is vacant chair that mere
can be filled. The memory Of her
s'..eet and loveable ways will al
ways be a sacred thing to these
who knew her.
Owing to the nature Of the dis
ease the funeral was private, being
held from the home Tuesday after
noon, the remains being laid to
rest in Riverview cemetery. Rev.
Ehlers, of the M. E. church. read
the burial services at the grave.
The sympathy of the entire CON-
munity goes out to the family in
