R. R. MAGNATE
IN WILLMAR.
Hundreds Of School Children
and Willmar Citizens Greet
James ]. Hill at DEPOT.

James J. Hill was given one of
the most enthusiastic greetings ever
given to a Willmar visitor when he
went through here last Friday even
ing. The train was late, but the
hundreds Of people who had gath
cred at the depot to see the famous
railroad magnate waited patiently
until at last the special pulled in
from the south. Mr.. Hill appeared
on the platform of his private car
at once, and gave an impromptu
speech. in which he regretted that
the train was late, thereby prevent
ing him from spending as much
time as he wished in .Willmar, and
he also promised to come some time
and spend an afternoon here in or
der to get acquainted with the
business people and to find out
what the Great Northern might do
to make Willmar bigger and better.
Mr.. Hill was just returning
home from a lecture tour, and he
was visibly tired. He was as good
natured as ever, though, and made
everybody feel good by his happy
and cheerful remarks. The fea-
ture of the reception here was the
presence Of a large number of school
children, who carried flags in
honor of the guest of the day, and
who joined with unbounded enthu-
siasm in greeting him.

no criticism or condemnatory reso-
lutions have been published regard
ing that fair although dozens of
churches were represented on the
grounds.
AS to the suggestions for the fu-
ture, we sincerely trust that the in
terest manifested by the mems
league will continue active until
next street fair. The members of
the street fair association are elect
ed at public meeting held each
year. When next years commit
tee is chosen there is nothing to
prevent the mems league from TAX
ing an active part and selecting
such Of their members on the street
fair committee as are willing to
donate their means and energies for
several weeks to the end that the
street fair be made a credit to the
city. And we are certain that if
they should see fit to do this the
undersigned will be willing to give
them the benefit of the doubt when
the chronic fault-fnders make their
complaints or if anything unforeseen
happens to mar the occasion.
Respectfully yours.

"Potatomatoes."

In grating the tomato on the po-
tatO, or the potato on the tomato.
or in making any other graf Of
similar herbaceous plants, the simp-
Ter methods are preferred. says the
Country Gentleman. The saddle
graft and the splice-graft are the
ones most commonly used. Tn
splice-graft is made by simply cut
ting the scions a smooth slarting
cut. The stock is cut in the same
way and the two members are tied
together with their faces joined In
order to get the best results. il is
desirable to have the gratis made
of rather nder shoots such as
have only partially hardened In
order to get proper union with This
sort of tissue. 1t is necessary that
the cut be made with very sharp
knife, preferably with a razor. The
two parts are then rather tenderly
Joined together using very soft cloth
bandages or moistened raffia. L Is
desirable furthermore 70 cover the
grated plant with bell jar or hand
glass of some sort for a few days in
order to prevent too rapid evapora-
ton. If it is left exposed to the
open air, especially if the atmosphere
is rather dry, the scion dries out
and willis so badly that it cannot re
cover. The saddle-graft is made by
cutting the stock wedge-shaped,
while the scion is cut with Y
shaped slit so that it will it down
over the wedge of the stock. The
rest of the process is carried out
exactly as already described for the
splice-graft.

THE SUM OF LIFE.

Adding little beauty,
Adding a little song.
Adding a little tenderness
To sweeten the day along;
Adding a little music.
Adding a little art;
Adding little human love.
Adding little heart
Adding a word OF courage,
Adding a cup Of cheer;
Adding a spirit of beautiful faith
For those that pant in fear;
Adding a kindly message,
Adding a gentle word:
Adding prayer in the twilight houi
When the prayers OF men are heard
Adding a genuine pity
For sorrow and grief and tears
Adding n measure of helpfulness
For the young and the bowed in
years;
Adding a little dreaming,
Adding a little bloom
Adding a little cleaning
OF light in the after-gloom-

Raising Chicks in Winter.

The success of raising chicks in
cold weather depends upon the hen,
if they are raised with one, orupon
the management of the incubator.
if that is used. Some hens are more
careful with broods than others 1t
lis unnatural for a hen to become
hroody in. the winter, but some of
them will insist upon sitting even
during the coolest weather. When
the weather is extremely cold the
chicks are able to endure quite a
low degree of temperatur" without
difficulty if they can run under the
hen every now and then to get
warm But as some hens are more
active than others and will not stand
still long enough in winter for the
chicks to nestle. it is not always to
be depended upon that the chicks
viii get warm when they desire
When placing eggs under a hen in
| the winter it is best to take into
consideration when the eggs will
hatch and watch them for the least
change in the weather. The best
mothers are the Brahmas and Coon

and prefer TO remain quiet They
sometimes tread upon the chicks and
thereby quickly thin the brood to a
minimum number, but clumsiness is
not always the rule and they en-
deavo- to do their best for the chicks
in their care. Light hens are usu-
ally too restless TO be winter moth
ers. 1t is best, whatever mothers
are used, to confine all sitting hens
in coops or boxes so that they will
not race around, lor the cold winds
are fatal to young chickens as vel
as dampness. It. is sometimes very
profitable TO raise chicks in cold
weather, but choose the hens with
care ard see that they look out fol
\ their young.

Notes.

Weeyils and bean bugs are easily
killed with carbon bishlphidt, but
only a little should be used, or the
beans will be injured. A tablespoon
full to a bushel OF grain is enough,
and the bin should be opened and
aired within three or four days. A
pound of carbon bisulpihde is enough
to treat 100 bushels of grain, and
The last insect will be killed within
SO hours Care should be taken not
to allow fire in any form to come
near the place whore this material
| is being used, as the gas is liable tc
explode.

may double the amount of stock KEEP

silage corn will be enough FOR Al

tioles was much the same. One rub

Hints That Are Valuable.
Unstarched underwear takes up
half the room and packs 10 better ad-
vantage, coming out with fewer wrin-
HES when the bag is opened. Stiff
collars keep cleaner than soft ones,
and launder better, SO that fewer are
needed. Take half dozen pairs of
stockings and replenish en- route if
necessary. Silk and Isle thread
gloves can be washed out and kept
more presentable than kid. Boo trees
that are light and easily packed are
to be found in any store, and a patent
leather slipper will always pass mus
ter as an evening shoe. These are
just a few of maXims TO be learned by
listening TO the crafty, successful art
ist in packing.
One other thing the western travel

Farm Notes
White. EGG Production.

A writer in the Indiana Farmer
gives these points for raising eggs
IN the winter
You must have early Matched pull
lets or strong, healthy one-year-old
hens.
Give plenty of room in well-vent-
Hated houses.
Never expose fowls in blustery,
snowy weather.
Feed regularly nitrogenous foods,
rich in material for egg production.
Have runs we'll Uttered with strawy
material on which to feed grains,
causing the fowls to scratch for their
food.
Breed every year from the strong
est, best-developed fowls and espe-
cially from those of good laying
qualities.
Do not at any time overfeed your
fowls, give just enough to have item
clean il all up nicely.
Always treat the flock with kind
ness. Excitement does them harm;
have them as tame as pets
Cleanliness throughout all their
quarters. If vermin infest the prem
ises they will rob you of eggs.
Do not overcrowd Better Is hens
in house large enough for Is
than % hens in house fit only
for 10.
A writer in the Country Gentle
man covers somewhat the same
ground. as follows: III you are OBJ
servant. among your hens you will
notice that the busiest ones are al
most invariably the best layers.
Those that jump first from the roost
and begin to hustle about for food
will be found, if in laying condi'
ton, on the nest in two or three
hours, Giving the fowls a chance to
work, and making the winter time
summerlike as far as possible is
what brings up the total profits fol-
the year The farmer who is car
ing for the dairy cow with a view
of getting a profitable yield OF winter
milk, sees that she is well fed with
| milk-producing feeds and kept IN
comfortable quarters. Take tbs
country over, how many farmers
there who have their poultry on
god paying basis, or are ma'[inG
iany effort to place it there? l e. ub
liz there is one ir 10. There are
lprobably more who are making al
effor.. but much of this is in vain
Then there are some whose poultr.

THAT such is the fact, for the reason
that they keep no account.
Hens, to give profitable results
must be given care and attention
and fed regularly those foods whicI
contain the properties necessary TO
their welfare. Very many seem t
have an idea that hers will not la
