The promontories in the career of
the Rev. John Wesley Hill may be
briefly pointed out. He was born at
Kalida, Ohio, May s, 1863. His
father, the Rev. John Wesley Hill,
d. D., is Methodist preacher of the
heroic type, having been in the active
ministry for half a century. The pas
tor Of the Metropolitan Temple OBJ
tanned his secular education at the
Ohio Northern University, and studied
theology in Boston Theological Sem
mary. While student in Boston he
was pastor of Eggleston Square
Church, which it soon became neces-
sary to enlarge in order to accommo-
date the growing congregation. Prior
to this his trial experience in the.
Itinerancy occurred at Sprague, then
Washington Territory. In 1883 he
was appointed to the First Church at
Ogden, Utah. He soon inaugurated
relentless warfare upon the Mormon
Hierarchy, and during his five years

HOW ORCHARDS MAKE VALUES

Good orchards of all fruits have a
fixed value that has been well main
tanned, says a writer in American
Agriculturist. They are rarely found
for sale, their value being from 5000
to $1,000 an acre, the difference in
price growing out of the location, con-
dition and varieties grown the latter
being regarded as matter of great
Importance. but which in many lin.
stances has been too little thought
of in planting for commercial pur.
poses.
A friend who is known as one OF
the best apple growers in my coun.
ty, has assured me that $1,000 an acre
would be no temptation as a pur-
chase price for his orchard, he claim,
ing that his plantation of Nonesuch
and Baldwins has paid him more
than ten per cent. net on this sum
through the past ten years. The past

and an unusual amount of defective
fruit, the receipts from about twenty.

forty years since at $135 an acre,

Ogden the finest church edifice be-
tween Denver and San Francisco.
Thence he went to Helena, Montana,
and in 1893 to Minneapolis, where he
founded and built the Fowler Memoir

1896 he was appointed to the pas

1899 he went to Grace Church, Har-

years he added 600 members to the

against airships, and it is understood
that the British War Office is also con-
sidering certain inventions devised
for similar purpose.
1t has been argued that Laval gun
ners could easily disable Zeppelin
lairship. The target presented broad
side on Is large, but stem on the Yep
pelin offers only forty foot circle.
If the height of the airship is one
thousand feet present naval guns
could not be trained upon it at less
than distance of about mile and a
half, and at that distance forty foot
mark is not certain target, even on
the level, to moving ship. At the
elevation required it would not only
be exceedingly difficult to estimate
the range, but even If the range were
known the allowance for curvature of
trajectory would be so great as to
render hit the merest fuke.
The new type of gun manufactured
by Messrs. Krupp, it is asserted, will
destroy dirigible airship. The shell
which it fires has diameter of sixty
five millimeters, weighs nine pounds
and is discharged with an initial We
locity of 1S41 feet.
The gun is raised to an angle of
sixty degrees and the projectile can
reach height of 1880 feet. The
shells are filled with highly inflam-
mable gas, which will cause the gas
bag of an airship to explode when it
hits it.

:
Choosing Best Layers.

There are great many methods
advertised in various pamphlets and
papers stating that, If you will prac-
tice this or that method of selecting
as laid down in the paper, you will
be able to determine the drones from
the workers. The writer has tried q
few Of these so-called certainties, and
has come to the conclusion the trap
nest is the only accurate test. 1t is
by selection and keeping records that
advancement is made along this line.
Each hen has her own individual
ity; certain hens lay eggs that are in
nine cases out of ten hatchable.
Some hens lay we'll. but although
their eggs are usually fertile, they
will not hatch, whether set under a
hen or placed in the best incubator.
The chicks develop to certain size,
in many cases being fully formed, but
die in the shell. Again, many hens
lay eggs that are seldom fertile.
In selecting birds one has several
objects. The saying shat the hen
that lays is the hen that pays" is
often heard. The majority engaged
in the poultry business consider egg
production the best end of the bust
ness. 1t is often the surest. There is
not the same amount of risk attached
to it. At the same time, If people
are foolish enough to believe that Mr..
So-and-So can supply eggs from hens,
tested by the so-called new system,
which have produced 800 eggs per
annum, they have more faith in the
advertiser and the hen than the
writer has.
There is no doubt that certain char
acters should be looked for in a
good laying hen. yShe should be low
set, and stand on pair of shanks
set fairly wide apart. The head
should be nice and clean cut, with
full bright eye. In other words, hens
should show feminine character, and
not wrinkled features. Hens Of the
latter type should be discarded; in
short, masculinity in the hen is a bad
sign. A hen with a large capacity for
food has large crop, is usually
payable bird to feed. The smaller the
sack Of food she takes to roost at
night the fewer eggs will she produce.
Dairymen know that cow must have
plenty of room for food In order to
produce large milk yield.
The advertised systems serve one
purpose. BY examining the lay bones
the amateur knows which bird is
about to lay. or is laying. Should
the lay bones be relaxed to the ex-
tent of about three fingers (closed)
the bird is laying; If they are almost
in contact, that is the hen to market,
but so much depends on the time of

DAIRY HUNTS.

Don't think because the hardest OF
the winter, presumably, is past, that
it is safe to let UP on the good care
of the COW. This is often done, partly
through carelessness, and partly be-
cause the feed is scarce. The cold
winds and early Spring rains, are
seemingly harder upon stock, espec-
tally the milk cows. than the winter
zero weather. so continue to give the
drinlcable water, the good clover hay
and the softest nubbins.
A good plan is to keep some of the

upon her.

NARM NOTES..

Sailing COWS regularly has much to
do with the ease or difficulty with
which the butter will come.
AS rule milk is unfit for use at
least two weeks before calving time.
However, some cows milk seems to
be good almost up to calving time.
Milk is usually not saved for house
use until the eighth or ninth milking
afterward, although it has been known
to be perfectly good after the fourth
milking.
A woman who makes fine butter
says that she Skins the cream of
two or three days milk together, let
ting it all sour at one time, and
churns as soon as it is sour. She
makes pound rolls, and her butter al
ways commands the highest price her
customers preferring it to creamery
butter.
Mere good cows are now going
into dairy herds than ever before.
Keeping the records of cows and
what they will do in year is weed
ing out the poor ones.

receiving attention by breeders with
the expectation that the average
yield throughout the country will be
greatly increased in the near future.
BY sanding the cranberry beds and
by better drainage with clean cultiva-
ton the grower can control the frost

cranberries have been studied by
Federal Investigators and some good
methods of controlling them have
been devised.

neat and your efforts will be amply
rewarded by the egg basket and kind

Chicks will not thrive in damp and
wet and i'll ventilated coops, and it
is worse than useless to try to sue

SHEEP AND WOOL.


The question of profitableness in
sheep growing, of course, takes into
the account both wool and mutton.
This is well stated by sheep grower
of Michigan. Mr.. L. G.. Reynolds, in
recent letter to the Drovers' Jour-
nal, in which he says:
"That the combination of wool and
mutton returns more profit to the
sheep raiser than the fostering of any
one quality is self-established fact.
It gives the sheep raiser an oppor-
tunity to receive dividends from his
investment twice a year, and, besides,
insures safe profit because of the
fact that he is able to place upon
the mutton market two different prod
ducts. If the mutton market is low
the wool products from the flock gen.
orally command a good price and vice
versa. AS a general rule a good flock
of both wool and mutton producers
will net the owner a clear profit on
the mutton sold on the market while
the wool will pay all expenses of
their maintenance and assist in de-
fraying the cost Of rearing the prog.
eny On the other hand, If the NUT
ton product is the exclusive output
of the flock, the profit must neces-
sarily be curtailed as a total expense

CARE OF COWS.

Dirt in milk makes NOSE undesir-
able butter than all wrong methods Of
working. No perfection of working
in salt and working out buttermilk
can secure the proper flavor of but
ter from dirty milk. Butter will not
keep well if overworked so that its
natural grain is destroyed. The over
working tends to mash the globules
of the butter and to reduce it to
mere grease.
Slow milking frets the cow Hasten

without worrying the cow which
should be thoroughly acquainted with
the mixer. Never, put a fine COW
in the care of poor mixer. The
mixer makes or unmakes the COW.

their sides against fence or tree,

comfort to rub them down, but it

of the skin so that the animal is
warmer. With the same feeding a
