P. H. Guy of Winfield, Kansas,
was here last week looking after
his mining interests. Mr.. Guy
,, is interested in a piece of prop
erty just east of the Sunnyside
property, and is getting down in
to the ore body. He is also after
some other property in the camp
and will no doubt secure control
of it very soon.
The Baxter Springs Mining
Camp, divided locally into the
north and south camp, is again
active. In the north camp, while
there are not so many new strikes,
there is more activity in the pro-
duction of ore. The Western
Land Co., and the Ayres-Sloar
Co., both owned and managed by
the same people, are doing better
under the management OF Mr.
Robt. McCreery, than at any time
in their history. The Indiana
Mining Co., have the foundation
laid for their new mill which will
be pushed to completion as rapid
ly as possible.
Mr.. Perkins of Joplin, manager
of the Quivera has begun the
sinking of their third shaft, ant
pumping water from their ole
one, preparatory to starting W
the mill, which has been idle to-
the past six months.
In the south camp the activity
lis unprecedented. The Spring
River, McAllester and Micawbel
mining companies have all start
ed up their new mills in the pas
week. The new Emerson pump
of the Micawber is handling thu
water so well that several ad
joining properties find it unnec
essary to use their pumps at all
| The Ward Mining Co., has be
gun its new tramway to the M
Tx. & T. mine with which it ha'
been incorporated, and through
whose mill their dirt will b
milled. The J. c. L. is building
a new tramway from its SECOND
lshaft to its mill. The Joanna
lone of the oldest and best pro
ducers in the camp, having al
ways been a dry mine, as far al
water is concerned, is building
two new ponds and cleaning on
Its old one, and taking out th'
stopping preparatory to sinking
deeper.
The Cherokee Lead and Yin,
Co., is sinking both of its shaft
deeper and bringing the secont

The New Strawberry Bed.

For starting a strawberry bed the
soil must be well prepared and the
plants well selected and fresh and live
ly. Then proper culture must be given
for the next four months.
Above all things, set only good
plants. You may have bought plants
at high prices and have the feeling
that you cannot afford to lose them,
yet if you find them wilted, showing
no sign Of vitality, the only thing is to
throw them away, says Iowa Home
stead.
1t only adds to your expense and
final disappointment to set out half
dead plants. Better face the loss now
and set only plants that show life.
Then the culture must be constant.
Keep the soil loose and fine as a gar.
den until August.
Let the planter be guided by those
principles and then be prepared to
mulch his beds when November comes,
and he will be reasonably sure of a
crop the second year.

HOUSE FOR POULTRY.

never worry about shade, for he has it
ready made. The house is practically
on stills, and under it the hens may go
when the rays of the sun make life al
most unbearable. The space below the
house also affords an excellent place
in which to put few hens with chicks,
or in warm weather an indoor brooder
may be put there, as the place is of
course perfectly dry. It will be seen
at a glance that such a poultry house
may be built in as many sections as
desired, or it may be built of only one
section, about 10 by 10 feet

USE AN INCUBATOR.
In These Days It Does Not Pay to Rely
on Natural Methods.

on Natural Methods.
In spite Of the fact that last seasons
sale of incubators is estimated at over
250,000, not every poultry keeper oper-
ates an incubator, says Z. E. Keyser
In Western Poultry Journal Many are
still Matching with hens, and others who
have made a failure with their first i'm
cubator have relegafed it to the store
room and returned to the old method.
This failure may not have been the
fault of the incubator, and if it was
there is no reason why one should
abandon the use OF up to date methods.
There are good incubators which are
material help to all who raise poultry
and indispensable to those who raise
any appreciate number of chicks. 1t
Is often possible to rig an old incubator
over so it viii do good work by max
ing a few changes which the advance
in incubator instruction has demon
strated to be necessary In first class
hatcher If the old machine is really
no good buy new one. You have
paid dearly for your first experience,
but if later you secure good machine
this early loss can soon be repaid.
No person can now proftably raise
poultry without an incubator and a
system OF brooding. 1t does not pay to
wait the pleasure of the hen and then
tend her for three weeks in order to
get from six to ten chicks, when we
can take off hundred or more in the
same time and do it at a time when
the chicks are wanted. With the in
cubator we can get early chicks before
the hen has thought of sitting. We can
hatch brood of broilers that will pay
for the incubator before it is wanted
for Matching the breeding and laying
stock. and after the natural Matching
season we can make another hatch of
chicks that will sell in the fall for
broilers. These late chicks, known in
some sections as 'eold storage broil-
ers," find ready sale, and while the
price is not high the birds have not
cost much, as they will have secured
the larger portion of their food from
the range and fields from which the
grain has been harvested.

CARING For the Eqqs.

The quicker you gather your eggs
after being laid the easier to keep them
clean. The clean. bright shell is an
essential item. After you have gath
cred your eggs don't forget and leave
them out in the sun or on the back of
the stove, but put them in your egg|
case and keep the egg case in a cool
dark place with the lid on. The eggs
should not be allowed to remain IN the
nest to be tramped on aud fought over
or sat on five or six hours by broody
hen or twoSor maybe three.

spots gradually become larger, and in
ten days half of the leaf may be brown
and withered and the rest of an un-
healthy yellow color, though the stems
may remain green, or the disease may
progress more slowly OF course the
tubers stop growing as the leaf sur
face is destroyed, and the crop is cut
short This early death of the leaves

to be the natural ripening of the vines,

Successful Grange interchange.

Members of Denmark grange of
Lewis county, N. Y, are working out
a plan which is succeeding and which
gives variety to their literary pro
grammes. This grange is made up of
members from three villages, Caster
land, Deer River and Denmark. Oc-
casionally these places take turns In
furnishing the grange programmes, and
this is found to create enthusiasm
among the members and just enough
strife to make it interesting. At re-
cent meeting of Denmark grange the
members of Copenhagen grange fur
nfsned the literary programme, and
Denmark will return the compliment
for their next banquet. County Deputy
White believes that much good results
from this interchange of labor among
nearby oranges and it has tendency
TO keep up a more lively interest and
that members become better acquaint-
ed with each other. He also favors
the use of printed programmes.

Another Cure For Chicken Pox.

Chicken pox is usually caused by
damp, filthy surroundings and is very
hard to get rid of unless the house and
yards are thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected. The curative treatment con-
sists of bathing the affected parts with
soap and water in order to soften the
crusts and afterward apply a solution
Of sulphate of copper (bluestonel, a
dram to half pint of water. Carbolic
ointment will also be found to be very
beneficial.

two to thirty inches apart. Considera-
able hand wedding and hoeing between
the hills and along the rows are usual
~ necessary.
When sown in continuous rows, the
thinning is largely done with hoe,
striking across the row. AS much as
possible of the subsequent cultivation
is done with horse cultivator.
Instead of the common and wheel
hoes for thinning and wedding some
prefer to use scufie hoes. When in
use the blade of such hoe is in hori-
zontal position and is pushed and pull
ed just under the surface of the
ground. The blade of the style shown
in the cut is diamond shaped, about
two inches wide in the middle and half
an inch wide at each end and about
eight inches long.-Byron Hunter, Bu-

Feed Hens Literally.

Don't keep your birds on too short
rations. Laying birds need a plentiful
supply of food to do their best. We
don't believe that there are many birds
in this country that are overfed, and
we know of many focks that we be-
lieye to be half starved, says Reliable
Poultry Journal, and yet their owners
wonder why the birds don't lay. You
cannot get eggs in any great quantity
unless you feed literally. Cost is about
dollar a year per bird.
