Eleven hunters are to be sent I

Eleven hunters are to be sent this
winter after the wolves and other
predatory animals that infest the
stock-raising country. The depart.
ment of agriculture began in October
an inquiry into the hunting ability of
various applicants for the positions,
Tor It wishes to employ only skillful
men. 1t is estimated that in certain
parts of New Mexico each full-grown
wolf kills yearling steer or e calf
every three days. If the wolves can
be exterminated, hundreds of thou.
gands, If not millions, of dollars worth
or cattlhill be saved every year. The
eleven hunters to be employed will be
sent to the Sawtooth forests in Idaho,
the Wind river division of the Yellow.
stone forests in Wyoming, the High.
wood mountain forests in Montana,
the northern division of the Grand
Canon forest in Arizona, the Park
Range forest in Colorado, the Dixie
forest, Utah, the Trinity forest, Cali.

the Montezuma forest in Colorado.
Other hunters will go to western
Texas and New Mexico.

room, and I was alone when he en-.
tered. l held out my hand gravely,
without a word, and although he took
it as gravely, he also stopped and
touched my hair with his lips.
And then, like silly child, 1 was
sobbing on his shoulder and he was
telling me the story had waited so
long to hear.
Then told him how my accident
had occurred, and he in turn told me
something of my school friend 1 had
never dreamed.
Inez-my beautiful Inez-had lured
my brother on during their summer
ing year before, and had then
laughed at him in her soft, low, mu-
steal voice when he made known his
heart, and it had gone hard with him
at first; but she treated a mutual
friend of theirs in the same way.
only he had not Toms pride-and a
pistol bullet was easiest, he said, and
soonest over, and that had turned my
Toms infatuation to hatred of the
beautiful girl-woman, who also tried
her arts on this brave friend of his
without success.
tom was too noble for her!" his
friend finished frankly, "and l had not
met you then, Sorrel, but her treach-
cry kept me safe! I had not met you,
my sweet little girl, without whom the
house is dark and silent"
"And without my hair!" I added
presently, with an attempt at sauci.
ness, but there were tears in my eyes
as WELL "a poor little strawberry
blonde to match with her exquisite
beauty"
"Don't!' he said imperatively. "You
are not to speak so Of yourself, Sor-
rel-it isn't respectful to me; and if it
hadn't been for your hair"
IF it hadn't been for my hair" !
added, taking up the pause. But we
never finished the sentence.

under two years, nor would mother
and the rest. AS for Inez, have never
seen her from that day, for she re-
turned to her home in Spain. And /
am certain that Tom has no pain in
tho memory of their summer, save the
recollection of the sad little tragedy
Of the ending of a life under her
falsity, for Tom never loved her in
spite of her exquisite beauty-he
could not love such woman!

Estimates of the cost of spraying
trees are always interesting, because
so many farmers are planning to begin
the practice, while those who are now
spraying are looking for opportunities
to cut down the cost. w. A. Orion OF
the United States department Of ag-
riculture finds that the material for
spraying one hundred trees with Bor-
deaux mixture and paris green can be
had at So to So, and finds that the
cost of application is likely to equal
the cost of materials. A number Of
records which he has on hand of the
actual expense incurred in spraying
orchards shows the cost to vary from
20 to 80 cents per tree for the e9tire
season with three to six spraSengs,
which does not, however, include the
costly and troublesome operation OF
spraying for the scale pest.

Court House Burns.

The court house of Boone county at Harrison was con- sumed by fire at an early hour on last Sunday morning. The fire was discovered about 2 o'clock but the blaze had gained such headway as to be beyond control.
 The records of the circuit clerks office were either ruined or badly damaged, but those in the vault of the county clerk re- mained in tact.
 The origin of the fire is un- known, but is attributed to the use of fire works during the evening of the 4th, or the care- lessly dropping of a cigarette or cigar stub, as the building had been open during the celebration.
 Insurance was had on the building for S5000 which will give the county a start toward the erection of a new and better building which was badly needed.

upon this line of work, as he has no pastorial or newspaper con- nection.
 After the full force of the charges of these great doctrinal guns have been spent, the real issues or what seems would be the real issues between the two denominations represented is discernable only under the micro- scope. Both churches teach ex- perimental religion. Both be- lieve in baptism by immersion. One believes that baptism is es- sential to salvation; the other believes it is merely essential. One believes that when one is truly converted he will finally be saved. The other believes if he remains faithful to the end he will be saved.
 So the walk down into the valley of the shadow is attended by practically the same require ments. Each church agrees that if one has been converted, bap- tised and dies in a full tr iumph of living faith, the richest blessings of heaven awaits him.
 Then, one is made to wonder that why in the economy of God, the forces of such power full orators and scholars as Elders Warlick and Bogard are not united in an effort to save a lost world!

Growth of Farm Valuation.

A bulletin recently issued by the Agricultural Department pre- sents some interesting facts about the growth of farm valuation in the United States in the first half of the present decade.
 The inquiry is based on cor respondence conducted with 45,- 900 correspondence in the fall of last year. The increase in the value of medium quality farms, buildings and improvements, in- cluding, in the five-year period, is put at B per cent.
 The western group of states and the south central group, the latter running from Kentucky and Tennessee to Oklahoma and Texas, show the greatest pro- gress, with increased valuation put at 40 per cent.
 The south Atlantic group shows 36 per cent increase. The north central group, includ- ing the middle and north Atlantic states, comes next with 20 per cent increase.
 Taking farms, not by locality but by typical products, the, cotton farms lead with 40 pf,r cent increase, the hay and grs in farms 34 per cent, farms devo ted principally to sugar show 33 per cent, and the tobacco farm 32 per cent increase.
 The grand aggregate of in- crease in valuation is nor than six billion dollars, of whif ;h more than two thirds is attrib uted to the hay, grain and liy stock farms.
 Such figures as these show the share of the agricultura interests of the county in the ge neral in- creasing prosperity of the country. They do not show the
