The ordeal Of beginning again fire.
quently called into play high quality
of judgment and a vast fund Of pa
thence.
The standard calls for yellow shanks
and skin. These are oftentimes difficult
to obtain, together with the desired
white in the feather. The two colors
are really somewhat inconsistent, con-
sldering the natural plumage of the
Silver Penciled Wyandotte, as the yei-
low pigment is likely to run into the
feather and deaden the bright, clean
white necessary to make up the desired
contrast with the black. The male birds
seem to hold the yellow shanks more
naturally than the females. If there
fore the breeder finds dusky yellow
appearing on the female shanks, he
must not be discouraged; it Is nature
and hardly truly Objectionable. Pos
sessed of an unusual share of beauty,
they are likewise general utility fowl.
They are full, round and plump and
reach maturity quickly. The standard
weights are: Cock, eight and a half
pounds; the hen six and half pounds
and the pullet five and a half pounds.
Larger birds are often exhibited, and
the increase in weight seems not to
have interfered with high score. The
utility bird may be bred to weight,
but the exhibition bird ought not to
run above the standard weights.

How the Farmer. Are BENEFITED.

1t should not take extended argu-
ment to convince any farmer of the
benefits that will accrue to hime by
reason of the construction Of q good,
enduring highway past or through his
farm, says the Binghamton Press. The
experience Of owners of farms along
the good roads already built Is most
encouraging. Their land has increased
in value. This increase comes from
two causes-first, they are able to
market their products easier and with
more regularity in all weathers; sec
ond. the increasing tendency of city
folks to buy small pieces Of land for
the purpose of erecting summer homes
enables farmers to DISPOSE of small
tracts Of land at profitable price, and
the presence of these summer visitors
gives them a nearby market for farm
produce.

Making the Road Attractive.

Pleased With Home In the West.
Lansford, North Dakota,


Nov. 90, 1905.
1t is now nearly four years since we
left the beautiful City of Owosso to
come to N. Dakota which l felt was al
most beyond civilization or into a
barren country where people would
have to endure greater hardships than
they used to in pioneer country. 1
came to Shiawassee on almost the first
train that came from Pontiac to Corun-
ma and had lived there so long that 1
felt as though Shiawassee the best place
in the world and think so yet for peo-
pie that have plenty Of means to live on
but do think that Dakota is the best
country for young people that are able
and willing to work for they can surely
accumulate property here faster than in
an old improved country but they will
have work to for it.
told you in the beginning of my
letter that felt as though l was COM
ing to almost the worst place in the
world but 1 am obliged to acknowledge
that it is beautiful country. The
first year that we were here we did not
have any railroad nearer than 30 miles
have railroad and towns so that we
have every convenience that one could
have in Owosso excepting street cars.
But we do miss the shade of the lofty
trees that you have there and fruit does
not grow in abundance here but we
have all kinds of fruit in market that
one can buy if they have the money to
buy it with.
Treshing is nearly done here and
farmers have had an immense crop of
grain to harvest and thresh. The harvest
has been a rich and bountiful and one
people are enjoying the money that it
brings them. 1t is common thing for
farmer to thresh. from 8 to 10 thous-
and bushels of grain and people do not
have to haul their grain but a short
distance for there are elevators all along
the railroad where they are always
ready to buy and pay the cash. We
can stand in one door and count 81
elevators.
Our home is five miles from the
village of Lansford of only three years
growth and that has elevators and
two railroads.
There are nearly all kinds of business
places in this new town that one finds
in almost any place, except cider mill
and saw mill, and when we grow the
apples and the timber we shall b ye
them. People get dry goods Ind
groceries just as cheap here as in Mich.
The first year that we were here people
had to go 35 miles for coal but now it is
shipped here by the car load in
quantities sufficient for the demand.
Gardens here are finer than any that I
ever saw anywhere, potatoes and nearly
all vegetables grow nicer and are better
favored than those grown in the east,
but melons and tomatoes and beans do
not ripen good here. Flower gardens do
very nicely, there are no angle worms
in the soil and no potatoes bugs to kill.
We are having Indian summer now,
but we do have colder weather here
than in Mich. but strange to say one
does not feel it any more here than we
feel it in Mich.
Last winter was very mild one with

let us at least secure good roads.
If you'd have good roads, prepare to

Time is money, and a good road

Be sure you've got good road, then

WINTER DAIRYING.
why 1t Is n Paying PrOposition-Al-
faifa For Winter Feeding.


For winter feeding alfalfa and clover
hay are two of the best foods that the
dairyman can grow. 1t takes about GO
per cent of the food cow consumes to
maintain her, and we should get our
profits from the extra food consumed.
So we can see the necessity of giving
an abundant supply Of food. 1t has
been demonstrated in number of
places that COWS coming fresh in the
fall will give about % per cent more
milk than COWS coming fresh in the
spring. The reasons for this are obvi-
Gus. During the flush of her milk she
is free from flies, heat and drought.
The grass comes on in the spring and
stimulates her waning powers. In con-
nection with this there is more time for
caring for the cows than during the
busy season, and prices are usually
better.
Frequent Drawbacks.
The great drawback with many for
winter dairying is poorly constructed
barns. A COW to do her best must be
well housed as well as well fed 1t
takes extra food to supply heat and
energy. Complaint has been made that
dairying is combining. Did you ever
hear of any one making a success in
life without work? Our likes and DE-.
likes depend largely upon the amount
Of remuneration we receive.
Kind of Cows to Keep.
l have no particular choice as to the
kind of COWS to keep This is a good
deal like man getting wife-it de-
ponds largely on the kind he prefers.
If you are going to keep COWS exclu-
sively for butter the Jersey, Guernsey
and Holstein are desirable breeds. If
you are going to take into considera-
ton the value of calf, which seems
quite necessary in our state, the milk
ing strain of the Shorthorn meets the
requirements as well as any. The only
reliable test for q COW is the amount
of butter she produces. If she does
not produce 225 pounds of butter fat
per year she Is not a desirable COW to
keep. In building up herd it is quite
necessary to select sires from the best
milking strain.

WILL PLAY RETURN GAME.
Adams Ball Players Serve Warning
on Helix Nine.

Adams. MAY 25.-The members of
the Adams X. of p. lodge who took
part in the game of ball between the
Helix Knights and nine from the
local lodge wish to give Helix fair
warning for the return game.
At the end of the sixth inning He
lix was ahead, having a streak of good
luck. the score standing six to three
in their favor. At this juncture they
quit and would not play. Some de-
clare that Or. Fred Lieuallen, the
Helix pitcher, gave out at the sixth
inning, consequently, the game came
to an end, and they say 1t was lucky
for the Helix boys. as Adams would
have gotten in her good work after
this. and were playing rings around.
Had the nine innings been played no
telling what the score would have
been in favor of Adams
return game will prove which is
the best team.

NAVY NEEDS RECRUITS.
At the Same Time IL Is Made More
Difficult to Enlist


Washington, May 25.-Naval offic-
ials who have charge of recruiting are
much disturbed over the prospect of
additional requirements likely to be
made in regard to the acceptance Of
those who apply for enlistment.
1t is realized that any additional
precautions taken with view to pre-
venting the enlistment OF minors will
be quite as successfully evaded as any
of the existing regulations. The re-
quirements of a birth certificate will
be met by imposters with a forged
document, as Is sometimes done when
1t becomes necessary to produce guar
dianship papers. It will have one efs
feet, naval officers say, that OF pre-
venting the enlistment of men who
cannot produce the birth certificate
and who really want to enlist and re-
main in the service, where they would
make good bluejackets. The agita-
ton is destined to be a substantial
block to naval enlistment.
The officers also feel keenly the
criticism which has been visited upon
them for their posters advertising re-
cruiting offices and showing the ad-
vantages to recruits. Much time has
been spent on these posters, to make
them decorative and attractive and, OF
course, they do not in the least Tais-
represent naval service or the rate
of compensation for the enlisted force

the baseball schedule is in such di-
lapidated condition that the famous
Yellow Kid team will be released after
the games today and tomorrow with
