Almost everybody thinks he

money The thing looks extremely
simple. Apparently it is only neces-

sary kill broiler. 1t looks as if any
one could do it and make living at
1t.
On the contrary, however, nothing
calls for more technical knowledge
and more business sense than the
running of chicken farm In addi-
ton to this, 1t requires a peculiar
gift or intuition-somethin like
fishing. And some people make a.
great success OF 1t who might be ex-
pected to fail, and some make great
failures who might be expected to

NEW OIL FIELD.
Thousand Barrel Gusher Brought in
at La Porte.

Houston, Tex, June at La
Porte, on the mainland shore of Gal
weston bay, prospectors have brought
in an oil well that gushes at inter-
walls, and the production is estimated
to be 1000 barrels day. 1t has been
in process of drilling for several
months by business men of Houston,
who have lease rights. The well is
located on the property of Minnie
Gallaird. who was one of the wit
nesses who went from Texas to New
York to testify in the Albert Patrick
case. The strike has caused a great
sensation and other leases are being
taken up and more wells will be
sunk. 1t is so very close to the water
facilities where barges can touch that
but a few miles of pipe line will be
necessary.

AN EXPERT VIEW.

AS a whole, the crop conditions
are more favorable than for many

better conditions for planting and
better cultivation of the soil general

Of labor to take care of of the har-

es to be very prolific this year.
Fruits, vegetables, grass, everything
that tends to wide diversification
of agricultural prosperity gives
promise of an abundant yield.
No one need for moment mag
inc that this country is going to
stand still much longer. 1t halted
with a sudden shock last fall, and 1t
has been taking account of the stu
alton. 1t has found that the funda-
mental conditions were never SO SOL
i'd that the worlds business is ex-
panding on a broader scale than

country has potentialities greater
than any other country, yea, even

which helped to bring about this

BEES ARE MATCHING EGGS.
Illinois Farmer Turns Hives Into
IncubatOrs With Marked Success

IncubatOrs With Marked Success
Danville, Ill, June 5.-William
p Johnson of Vermilion Grove, this
county, has hit upon the novel SCENE
of compelling bees to aid in hatch
ing eggs combined with their duties
of gathering honey.
Johnson declares that the same
temperature which matches bees
eggs also will hatch hens eggs. With
this idea in view he has fitted up his
hives with an added story, piece
of carpet being placed between the
bees and the box where he will place
the eggs. He declares the warmth of
the sun in the daytime and the ma
;)ral heat generated from the bees
at night viii re sufficient to hatch
them.
Already Mr.. Johnson has several
eggs in this new incubator and the
eggs show signs of Matching. Mr..
Johnson has several thousand bees
working in his bee hives.

THE MAIL ORDER ARGUMENT.

For variety's sake it is interesting
occasionally to note the sort of ar
gument the mail order houses put
up when confronted by their critics.
Here, for instance, is a sample from
the Breeders Gazette, paper which
carries considerable mail order adj
vertising because it circulates among
the rural citizen. The Gazette says:
The farmer has to pay toll to the
middleman on marketing his prod
ucts, and If he can escape such toll
in buying his supplies he will do it.
The farmer can be trusted to know
on which side his bread is buttered
and can be relied on to resent such
unfair attacks as are now being made
all over the country on mail order
lumber dealers and other general
merchandise houses which sell d.
rect to the consumer. The mail order
houses have thrived on the confid-
ence of the people, and by reason of
the fact that they give more for a
dollar than the retailer is able to
do
Let's see about it. The farmer has
to pay toll to the middleman in mar
keting his products. Who pays the
farmer for his products? Is any mail
order house accepting wheat, corn,
butter, eggs or garden truck in ex-
change for its goods? asks the Fort
Worth Telegram.
Supposing the middleman were
eliminated and the farmer sold direct
to the consumer in the small town,
getting cash for his products which
cash he could send to the mail order
house for his goods Wouldn't his
own market for goods be reduced as
a result of the absence of middlemen
and their clerks who consume a
great deal of the products he raises?
A town cannot exist without retail
stores, no more than a farming com
munity can reach a high degree of
near by to provide a market
The middleman bugaboo as an ar
gument is out of date
But the Chicago defender of the
mail order houses is correct when it
says, THE mail order houses have
thrived on the confidence of the peo-
pie" Most assuredly they have. The
old fashioned confidence games des-
cribed in the comic weeklies were
never to be compared with that gil
gantic confidence establishment
known as the modern mail order
house.
1t is natural for the mail order
house to picture itself as the friend
of the farmer; as natural as it is
for the politician seeking an oppor-
tunity for graft to picture himself as
friend of the plain people.
Not all mail order houses are dis
honest, but some of them are, just
as there are dishonest retail dealers
and honest ones. But the purchaser
! from the retailer sees what he is go
| ing to get when he buys, while the
mail order customer aims at a gaudi-
| ly colored catalogue and shoots cold
cash into the dark
The farmer, and not only the far
mer, but the resident of the small
town knows which side of his bread
is buttered when he keeps his mon
ey in Texas, helps build up home in
dustry. and leaves outsiders seeking
to profit by his credulity, hunt for
easier game in districts where people
do not read newspapers.

On the matter of good roads the

of the virtue of this machine. The
Ferris road. the Wilmer and Hutch

A steel drag has been used instead
of the split log drag, but the plan is

when it rains, and the ground is
made so hard that it does not soak
water like the ordinary country road.
Stretches of road that have been al
most impossible have been put in
good condition. If you want a pleas
ant drive try any of the roads men
toned. The drag is a great money
saver TO the county, and farmers in
any section can do much for them
selves when the county is not in
position TO do much for them, by
using a split log drag, an inexpensive
and easily contrived machine.

Pat Garrett was known to nearly
everyone in New Mexico. Though
a successful hunter of criminals and
outlaws, and a dead shot with eth

one Of the most quiet and peacea-
bic men imaginable. Garrett never
sought trouble, except when he was
in search of an outlaw; then he new
er avoided it. But among his law
abiding fellow men he was known
as a good fellow, and has as many
friends as any mar in New Mexico.

the Office was resigned by Marion

1t is said President Roosevelt
frequently referred to the hunter OF
bad men as Pat Garrett, the man
who is mighty handy with his SIX
shooter.
But despite his ability to shoot
when occasion demanded, those who
knew Pat Garrett intimately say he
never was known to fight unless he
was forced to do so or had been Sc
verely provoked. In all the fights
in which he was ever concerned as
a hunter of bad men, he never took
an unfair advantage, and had the
respect alike of the outlaws he hunt
ed and the people he defended from
their outrages.
