WOMEN AS POULTRY RAIsERs.
Why They Are Specially Adapted to
the Business.

Poultry raising is one kind of stock
raising that is adapted especially to
women. Brains count for more than
muscles in this department of the
farm, and every expense of brain
force is rewarded by increased reve-
nues. The women on the farm have
it in their power to make as great a
success of poultry raising as their
husbands make of the raising of
horses, cattle, hogs or sheep. There
are thousands of women engaged in
the raising of poultry on a CONNER
cial scale and there are thousands of
women on the farms that have
brought the science of poultry rails
ing to such perfection that the bust.
ness is every year paying them a
large income.
The education of most women has
been in the direction OF cleanliness in
the house and tidiness about the
premises. This same kind of educa-
ton is what is most needed In the
poultry establishment, says the Farm
ers' Review 1t has often been solely
the lack of this that has caused losses
in the poultry yards. The women on
the farm have all the advantage of the
woman in the village in the way OF
poultry keeping. for they have the
raw material for the feeding of the
poultry, all of which the village poul-
try keeper has to buy.

Instantly her lips were pressing his,

About Stoves.

Winter will be here in a little
while and it is time to be preparing
for it. We have received nearly
three carloads of stoves every kind
from the largest range to the small
sheet iron hoa blast. They are good
ones, too-the kind that our long
experience in the business has con-
vinced US to be the best made.
We bought them for the people
who will need stoves and we don't
want to keep them So we have
made the prices low Call and see
our fine display and learn how little
they cost considering their splendid
quality. Hawkins, Hardware.

Schuyler Colfax introduced a resol-
ution in the Grand lodge of Odd
Fellows that resulted in the birth of
the Rebekah degree, and Emmett Re
bekahs, as is customary each, year,
celebrated the event in an appropri-
ate manner. Mrs. Waring briefly
reviewed the incidents connected
with the foundingof the Rebekah
lodge and Mrs. Crosson and Mrs.
Stokesberry delivered eloquent ad-.
dresses on the aims and accomplish
ments and lofty ambitions of the
order. Vocal solos were sung by G.

to him the first prize and Mrs. Cross
on by unanimous consent was given

was highly enjoyed by those present.

new PACKING HOUSE
Hartley Will Erect a Build
ing Especially For Fruit
Packing.

C. P. Hartley will pack fruit next
year in building he will erect espe-
cially for that purpose. The site fol
the new packing house has not been
definitely decided upon, but it is pro-
bable the one he has occupied for
several seasons will be chosen.
The new building will be con-
structsd on most approved lines,
and will be arranged to handle fruit
speedily and economically.
Mr.. Hartley is very optimistic as
to the future of the fruit industry
in his section. He believes Emmett
will become in few years the
largest producer of choice fruit
of all kinds in the west. The soil
and climate are especially adapted
to the growing of perfect fruit,
and the hills that encircle this end
of the valley shelter and protect
the trees frod cold and wind. Many
large orchar,s 8 will be set out in the
spring. Most of the trees will be
peaches, but there will be many
sweet cherries and small fruits
This is true especially of the slope
land. On the bench apple trees
will probably predominant. IS that
section is pronounced well adapted
to apple culture. Grapes will also
receive considerable attention, their
culture on small scale having dem
they can be grown here
n the highest stage of perfection.

Sweet Flour.

AL Needham of Brownlee, who is
saleman for tho Sweet Touring mill,
was in town Saturday looking up
trade. The Sweet mill is turning
out fine grade of -four and the de-
mand for it is constantly increasing.
Emmett people should give this
-four trial and if it IS all right,
they should continue to use it. The
Sweet mill is practically a home
institution and provides a good mar
ket for the wheat raised at Brown
lee and in Squaw creek valley.
This city receives liberal patronage
from the wheat growers up the
river, and it would be the proper
caper to return the favor by using
Sweet flour.
