vice to Members Regarding Own Experience.

CHEswo4D, March 5:-Rural Grange

Killen of FELTON, on potato culture,
nut culture, and poultry raising. Mr..

have pigs and calves range over a farm
as chickens. The day has come when
chickens should be provided with
good warm enclosures and fed on fod-
der, clover hay or grass, grain, fish
scraps &C., given in way they must
scratch for it. He advised the incuba-
tor and brooder for good results.
Many questions were asked him on
various points. Mr.. Killen Is very
successful horticulturist. An all day
Farmers Institute will be held for the
public next Saturday.

April with Mr.. and Mrs. J. F

F. F. Beebee, Pres. pro tenn.
Mrs. G. w. Weatherly, Sec.
Long Ago.

Forty two years ago yester-
day, or April 9th 1865, General
Robert -. Lee, Commander of
the Confederate army of Amer
lea, surrendered to Gen. U. S.
Grant, and the war of the Re
bellion was at an end. This
was, without doubt, the greatest
war in the worlds history, great
in numbers, great in bravery,
great in patriotism, and great
in its results. Never since the
creation of old mother earth
has two such armies met on the
field of battle to decide by arms
the destiny Of nations. Men
who spoke the salne IAN
guage, inherited the same love
|of country, reared under the
same starry flag, worshiped the
same God, trained in the same
military tactics, and command
ed by two of the greatest gener-
ais that ever commanded an ar
my. The era of peace came to
both armies to gladden. the
hearts of the brave men who
for nearly five years had braved
the shafts of war in defence of
what they believe to be right,
and now to return to their old
homes, in both north and south
to begin life anew, and bring
prosperity to desolate places,
devastated by war.
Yes, fo~tv-two years is a long
time, ana april 9th is a day
long to be remembered by the
American pee .)lv.

Weather=crop Bulletin

Des Moines, la. For week
ending April 8, '07. Following
an unusually mild winter,
spring opened about two weeks
early, with phenomenally
warm weather in the last de-
cade of March, and very favor
able conditions for an early be-
ginning of farm operations.
The surface dried rapidly, and
in all districts a considerable
amount of seeding was done on
fall plowed land before the LIST
of April.
The first week in April was
relatively cooler, though the
average was about the normal.
The first half was slightly
above and the latter part be-
low the average, with heavy
frost and ice on the morning of
j the 9Th. The rainfall was be-
low the normal, except in a
limited portion of the southeast
district. We'll distributed
showers on Saturday night and
Sunday, followed by light snow
hurries, afforded very welcome
moisture to the newly seeded
fields.
The crop season opens with
fattering prospects. Very
much more than the usual
amount of seeding has been
done, with the soil in extra
good tilth for the reception of
seed, and plowing is in progress
preparatory for planting corn.
The chief drawback on the
farms is scarcity of help to
take advantage Of favorable
conditions.
AS yet we have no reports of
serious damage to fruit buds.

The men were removing the
temporary bridge, when it

bers were absent, but having a
goodly number of visitors, we
had a royalty good time.

Iident being absent, club was

Mrs. Jones, Mr.. Vanderhoof and
Mr.. Beebee. Recitations were
given by Frances Howard,

then taken up.
1t was decided that low tenn
perature was the cause of cream
being bitter in winter.
With eggs and chickens at
the present prices it was
thought profitable to pay $500
per dozen for hens.
Would suggest a building
24x40 feet east and west il
possible with north roof enough
higher than south to admit OF
windows, also windows below
south roof. Have an 8-foot
alley way and sliding gates
that may be easily removed
with tight floor in loft that il
may be used balance of year
for other purposes.

Old Talk Renewed.

Again we hear talk of a new
democratic paper being started
in Des Moines with John Dalton
as editor. If there is a man in
Iowa who could make a demo-
cratic paper a success at the
Capital City of Iowa, that man
j J Dalton, but the serions ques-
lion is: Can any man make a
q democratic paper a success in
Des Moines? It is peculiar
TO find a city as large as Res
Moines, with so many democr
in its borders, without a paper!
Our experience of over so years
convinces us that it is a dan
gerous proposition, in the face
Of past experience, to under
Ike the publication of a demo-
cratic paper where the demo-
Gratis give their patronage to
the opposition. But we hope, if
it. is started, that John Dalton
may be the editor, and the
paper prove a grand success.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great a change O
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesSes which too often come with mar.
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
