Wallula, the buggy and harness was
obtained and the two bad men proceed

was there that Deputy Cummings,
aided by Sheriff Chrisman of The
Dalles, effected their capture. When
finally arrested the men had in their
possession a 30-3O rife, 3S Colt re-
volyer. $3.50 revolver and a six inch
dirk. A jack knife with blade al
most as long as this, was also carried.
1t was owing to the ruse adouted by
Sheriff Chrisman that the men were
taken so easily, for when they were
discovered it was pitch dark and OBJ

between the knees of the man who

Why They Don't Lay.

Many who keep hens are asking
themselves just about now why their
pullets don't lay, when the fact is that
lot OF their young stock was hatch
ed too late, or was not given proper
food and care during growth. The
size and general appearance Of pull
let does not always denote the time
when she should commence producing
eggs. l have seen focks OF pretty
big nice pullets and they would lay
hardly an egg all winter. The first
essential for winter eggs IS the right
kind OF stock to produce them Food
will not supply that want; 1t may
help some and in some instances It's
pretty difficult to help the matter very
much by giving extra care. The strain
has got to be Of the right sort If they
prove themselves reliable and profit.
able layers. After being in the poul
try business 30 long and seeing SO
many people fuss and experiment and
work in the effort to get eggs from
stock that had no eggs to lay, no in
clination to make eggs or ability ia
commence to get ready to lay, 1t is
impressed all the stronger upon my
mind that there Is a whole lot to this
hen business besides feed and care

RobbInU the Soil.

The value Of the manure that is an.
nually produced In Kansas has never
been measured. but it will probably
compare favorably with the value OF
some Of our greater field crops. Wheat
raising has made Kansas famous, but
this fame has cost the State heavily
in the depletion OF her soils. The
vast area OF the wheat belt Is con
tracing each year, and the rotation
Of crops is beginning In earnest The
chief cause Of this depletion Of our
soil wealth lies in the continuous rob.
bing OF the soil without ever feeding

section and restore its fertility Ma

With care in storing, there is very
little difficulty in keeping these, es,
pecially the former, in good condition
until spring, and | have kept some
varieties OF the genuine pie pumpkins
until well into March In just as nice
condition as they went into storage.
Select those that are well matured,
and make sure that they are gathered
before being touched in the least with
frost. Store in a cool, dry place as
late as safety from freezing vii. per-

they will keep cool and dry, but al.

Value of the Home Market.

Farmers should encourage their
home town, to build up good home
market for their dairy and poultry
products, fruit, vegetables and many
things that sell far more proftably at
home than they could by shipping
them away. Here is where the French
farmers gain their prosperity; they
have good home markets, where they
market everything at high prices d.
rect to their customers In their
thrifty home towns and villages.
Towns can be revived by the farm
ers and merchants working together
to get new industries, and the home
market soon develops for all the farm
products that make prosperous COM

son, his son, filed a caveat to the will of
his mother, Mrs. Mary Richardson, who

giving as a reason for making no be

husband would at his death make ample
provision for him. The caveat states
that Mrs. Richardson, when making the
