is no good reason not to believe that
the future than by the past. There
Improvement win be steady, and
that, inasmuch as it now has a good
start, progress will be more rapid
Stronger men with greater capital Of
both brains and money are becoming
interested in this industry. They
viii bring to it larger plans and .arg-
or accomplishments which viii bring
about greater production. A cor.
responding increase in appreciation
of the value Of poultry and poultry
products as food, will take care of
the increased output. Dealers are
paying attention to the poultry de-
partments of their business. They
are demanding from producers and
fatteners better fieshed and more
attractively presented carcass and
an egg of more uniform shape and
color. The greater the amount of
this better quality that finds its way
to the consumer the stronger will be
the demand for it. and thus we could
go on piling up evidence that the
poultry business of the future will
be something immense. However
the foregoing ought to be sufficient
to convince any who thinks that
this industry is indeed a mans Dusi-
ness"

Why Farmers Crow Old Early.

Anyone who has lived on a farm
does not need to be told the reason
for he knows of the strain under
which the American farmer lives dur

summer His workday is from / or
5 in the morning until or at night,
including chores fifteen TO seven
teen hours of the hardest kind Of
physical labor and every minute of IL

harvest. Then comes a period of re-

the ring and summer again. No

rHg eoYs.

Where are they the friends of my
childhood enchanted
The clear, laughing eyes looking
back in my own.
And the warm chubby fingers my
palms have so wanted.
AS when we raced over pink pastures
Of clover,
And Knocked the Quails whirr and
the bumblebee's drine?
Have the breezes of time blown their
blossoming faces
Forever adrift down the years that
have flown?
An | never to see them romp back
to their places,
Where over the meadow in sunshine
and shadow,
The meadow-lark trill, and the
the bunble-bee's drone?
Where are they? All! dim in the dust
lies the clover:
The whippoorwill's call as a sor-
rowful tone,
And the dove's-I have wept at 1t
over and over
I want the glad luster of youth.

OF faces asleep where the humble

LOST ART OR WAR CORRESPOND
ENcE.
1t Seems to Have Gone With the
Death of w. n. Russell.

Death of w. n. Russell.
The death of william H. Russell,
know in America as Bull Rum Rus
sci, recalls the golden age OF war cor
respondence. Mr.. Russell was the
first to give dignity and influence to
the calling.
The exposure, in his letters to the
London Times of the frightful conse-
quences of the breakdown of the Brit
ish commissary and hospital service
in the Crimea provoked and fastened
the volunteer relief of Florence
Nightingale and the reorganization
of the British staff. He furnished al
most the only contemporary history
| OF the Indian mutiny and might have
given Europe far clearer idea of
the American civil war, had not his
unpopularity compelled the Times to
recall him in SIS early stages.
He told the exact truth about the
rout of the armed mob of the north &c
Bull Run and Americans blamed him
for it as if he himself had caused tn,
panic. His usefulness was DESTROY
ed and the Times had to send a less
brilliant and more tactful correspond
ent.
Afterwards he served the Times in
the Franco-German war and the Zulu
war in South Africa. But by then
other brilliant correspondents had
grown up and his sense of Importance
mad increased more than his effic-
ieney. He found his true place after
wards as historiographer Of the trip
through India of the prince of Wales.
Mr.. Russell belonged to a period
when the telegraph had not destroy
ed the value of deliberate and care
ful letters from the field, and when
war correspondents still had self.re-
straint and patriotism enough not to
embarrass military operations by pre-
mature publication. Since then war
correspondence has degenerated to a
hash of censored kilograms from the
field, followed long after by des-
criptive boos made to compete with
the best sellels" of fiction.

Highball has recently worked a mile

and Highball a length back. At the
half, Geers commenced his drive with
Highball, and moved up on Sonoma
Girl, who met his rush with terrific
