FROM TOWN TO COUNTRY.
How a Lawyer and His Family Built
Up q Profitable Business.

This is the story of professional
man whose longing for the freedom of
country life led him at the age OF thir-
ty-six to abandon the city for the
farm. Unfortunately the record Of his
early struggles is very Incomplete
That these were severe is attested by
the fact that the owner and his family,
with little hired labor have cleared
seventy-six acres of heavily timbered
land built a comfortable home, with
substantial barn, dairy house, silo and
poultry houses, and have developed
under trying conditions one Of the
best paying farms in the country. In
1906 the gross income Of this farm was
about $4,000. 1t is considerably larger
now.
The farm in question is on the west
side of Puget sound, at the base of
the Olympic mountains, In Oregon.
The products of the farm are butter,
eggs, poultry and small quantity OF
fresh pork. These are carried to mar
ket twelve miles over a fairly good
macadam road by team once a week.
80 careful is the owner Of this farm
of the market he has made that he
has not once failed to deliver his
products on his regular market day
during the past twelve years.
Since this farm has been brought to
its present profitable state by the joint
efforts Of every member of the house
hold it is proper to say that when the
family moved to the farm in 1887 it
consisted of man and wife, three boys
and three girls, the oldest child being
boy of thirteen. The only labor ever
hired on this farm before the first son
entered an agricultural college was
woodchopper for less than three
months in 1886 to help to do the first
clearing, two carpenters for two
weeks in building the house in 1887
and other assistants for miscellaneous
pieces Of work costing not over 500
during the entire eighteen years up to
the fall of 1905. The father and the
three sons have done the farm work,
MIXED the cows and made the butter.
The household duties have been sys-
tematically discharged by the mother
and daughters, and for several years
the mother and one Of the daughters
have run most Of the poultry business,
another daughter has reared the
calves, while the third daughter has
kept the books Of the establishment.

this farmers work by getting from the

ture farmers bulletin No. 355.

Poisoning Ground Squirrels ant
Gophors on National Forests.

PoiSoning GROUND squirrels dnC
Gophers on National Forests.
Interesting results have just been
announced by the Forest Service as a
result of the campaign conducted in
Southern California by Stanley E.
Piper. Expert of the Biological Survey
of the Department of Agriculture, to
exterminate ground squirrels and
gophers.
Extensive experiments were tried to
determine the best means of killing off
these destructive little animals, and it
was found that most effective results
were obtained by using poisoned green
or ripening barley heads. The squirrels
are exceedingly fond of this green
heritage, and eagerly ate the poisoned
food placed along their runaways.
Tests were also made with oats, wheat,
barley raisins, prunes, dried apples and
cracked corn, but these did not prove
30 successful
While green barley proved most
successful for poisoning ground squirrels
yet the difficulty Of procuring suffi-
cient supply in all localities led to dried
barley grain being tried. The grain
was treated with strychnine sulphate,
saccharine, and eggs, and although this
combination proved very destructive to
the squirrels, it had practically no
effect upon doves and quail. In fact
deliberate attempt was made to poison
these birds at their watering places,
but no bad effect resulted. The poison
ed grain was also used in fields grazed
over by sheep and produced no ill
effects whatever
The experiments also proved that
gophers were partial to raisins and
dried apples, and these were successfully
used in the poison experiment. 1t was
found that by sprinkling the apples
or raisins with the strychnine solution,
rs effective results were produced as
could be obtained by inserting the
poison into the fruit.
The experiments for determination
of squirrels also resulted in the death
of considerable number of rabbits,
and in other experiments it was found
that poisoned oats proved very effective
in killing both jacks and cottontails.
Green alfalfa was also used with good
results for the same purposes.

REGARDED AS BEST.
Chevy Chase Club Enjoys Pursuit Of
REWARD.

Members of the Chevy Chase Hunt Club
had a merry chase yesterday, and. al
though several foxes succeeded In doubling
on the hounds, it was generally agreed
that the sport was the best woodland
hunt of the year.
Miss Bell presided over the hunt table
at the clubhouse In place of Mr.. Moore.
Capt. c. F. G. Sowerby, DR.. j. Brecken-
ridge Bayne and S. p. knut completed the
party. Before reaching the meeting place
they were joined by Miss Townsend and
Mr.. Robins. a well known New York
sportsman. Trying their luck near Gar
rett Park, the huntsmen laid the hounds
on, making a drawn up wind. They set
racing pace, but the field followed close
The fox doubled, spoiled the scent, and
the pack was taken to Rock creek. where
they were cast at the mill, near the Big
Pines. They had several foxes on foot
but after gallop of three-quarters OF an
hour Reynard doubled or went to ground
SO well that the pack was entirely at
fault. Another effort was made at the
Hogan place. but at the. edge of the Her
mitage farm the fox slipped to earth.
