FINDING AN OLD ONE.

Among the relics of the olden days few are more interesting to the archaeologist and the student of ancient history than are the remains of the ships and boats in use many centuries ago. In the old peat bogs of England more than one of the ships used by the Britons or their predeces- sors long ago have been found and in other portions of Europe an occa- sional find of this nature brings joy and satisfaction to the delivers into the treasures of antiquity The Man. chester tEng) Guardian has an inter- esting story on the subject which we think worth copying in full. It says: been made to the French Academic des Inscriptions ct Belles-Lettres by M. Gabriel Gustafson, curator of the Christiania museum, concerning the ing funeral ship at least eleven hum dred years old. Its mortuary chamber contained the bodies of two women who judging from the size of of the aenc,at cFatt
 
 ments, evidently. belonged to some noble and wealthy family. The yes. sel. which Is seventy feet long and sixteen feet six inches broad, was dug out of a tumu1us two and one-half miles from the shore on the farm of Oseberg, near Tomsberg. The treas ure was not intact. At some remote period, probably hundreds of years ago, 1t had been unearthed by un-- scrupulous, visitors, who had pillaged the mortuary chamber of many of the curious relics undoubtedly deposited there in accordance with ancient Morse traditions. But in other parts of the ship which had apparently escaped the notice of the sacrilegious intruders was found a large and extremely val uable collection of historic remains, including four-wheeled chariot. richly and quaintly decorated; four sledges, three of them curiously carv- ed; several beds, a spinning wheel and a variety of kitchen utensils. Diligent examination of these has led to the conclusion that the funeral ship be- longs to the ninth century. One the ory Is that the second woman was a slave. condemned to accompany her mistress to her last sleep. Many of the ornaments, mostly of carved wood, are unique. The ship and its strange cargo constituting one of the most important archaeological finds ever made in Scandinavia, will. after being carefully restored, be placed in the Christiania museum. /

TRIES GREEN PAINT, HENS LAY
New York Man Finds Summer Color
 Gal.aE..a I.Eana. Enna

An Ithaca, N. Y., paper says: Will liam H Brown. down Newfield way, has discovered that light green houses make the best kind of environment for hens, because they lay more eggs when the hen houses are painted that color.
 Brown, who has experimented with the effects of colors on hens for some time, says he finds that his flock of hens lay from one to three eggs more day since he put the green plant on the hen house. He noticed no per ceptible change when other colors were tried.
 The color theory is that the hens should have the same color scheme in their winter environment as nature offers in spring and summer.

Conditions in the fruit market nave
taken a change for the better, that Is
to say, the prices of fruit have gone
down considerably since they first
made their appearance upon the OF
tumwa markets. Apples, plums and
peaches are about the only fruits,
aside from lemons, oranges and few
gooseberries sold by the grocers, but
the quality of these articles have be-
come rapidly better ever since they
were first shipped here this year. This
is especially noticeable, in the apples.
These were small little things, scarce
ly worth buying at first, but are now
of nice size to cook.
There is also marked decrease in
the price of peaches. When they first
came on the market they We're SO high
that the ordinary individual could not
touch them. There are some fancy
ones selling at 55 cents a basket. and
the fuzzy fruit of nice quality can be
secured at $3.50 per bushel.
The vegetables remain about the
same, having reached their lowest
point Watermelons are slated for a
decrease sooD-

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN

Now is the time to save up wealth.
While health and youth are strong;
For months glide swiftly into years.
Old age will come ere long.
And when your earning days are past,
And you are bent with years;
II you have saved the best you could,
Grim want, will cause no fears.
But if you squander all you earn,
And go the pace that kills;
Your life will most unhappy be
An early grave you'll FILL
Your name will be forgotten soon,
The world will still move on;
Some better youth will take your place
When you are dead and gone.
~ sf-''sa' tys>r' 8 " ~esrRtSrvsgsE5Eszg
To save yourself from such fate.
Go out west and plant your home:
Accept good chances when they come
And don't forget the time has come
The best way, now to do this thing,
Join our party for the west;
Uncle Sam will give you free.
Three hundred acre farm to tend
And when the little fellows come,
To gladden. hearts at home;
Spnd your last days not with strangers
Enter heavens gate from home.

Cultivation OF Corn.

When corn Is planted after the first
week In June the land needs more at
tention than when prepared earlier.
If plowed early the weeds will have
made an appearance. which is an ad-
vantage, as they can be destroyed be-
fore the corn is planted; but the late
corn will be more easily injured by
drought than that which has made an
earlier start. The crop should be cul-
tivated after every rain. so as to pre-
vent loss of moisture. Another point
is to thin out the plants If they are
too thick. 1t would be difficult to in
duce many farmers to thin out" their
corn, as they would claim that the
land, having been MANFRED. was capa-
BILE of providing for as many stalks
