Wyoming. AS usual it was long
struggle to create home and "get a
start" but at last this result was ac-
complished. Three daughters came to
them to brighten and aid them in max
ing a happy home.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Barefoot was
called back to Iowa by the death of her
brother Thomas Mason who was buried
at Cresco. This duty done deceased
came 60 DEBORAH to pay visit with
her relatives by marriage. She had
been in i'll health for some time. but
not enough so to create any alarm.
Here her illness became acute; Bright's
disease developed rapidly and progress
sed to speedy death.
Funeral services were held in De-
corah last Monday from the Barefoot
home, Rev. Wellington McVettie offici-
ating. The remains were taken to

WHAT OWE BOY DID.

The blue ribbons that were pulled
down In the Angus class at the inter
national live stock show held at Chi
cago early in December prove that one
of the most successful breeders OF this
type of cattle in. the country was a
young man of the name OF Otto Bat
des. who happens to live at Maquo
keta, Ia, but who for the purposes of
this article might have lived in any
other state or section Of the country.
Last year, at the age Of twenty-three,
he exhibited nine head Of cattle and
captured some Of the best prizes Of
fered. This year he exhibited sixteen
head Of Doddles and captured still
more blue ribbons, attending in all
during the season ten shows and win
ming $1,000 in cash prizes. This boy
started In the live sto k business when
he was sixteen years old with two
thoroughbred Angus cows, both Of
which gave him fine calves. A little
later he mixed with bis stock breed
ing operations little Of what some
ultra practical men are wont to term
"theory" and took course In animal
husbandry at the State Agricultural
college. He then went back home and
developed his little herd inteIligently
until today he has close TO hundred
head of as fine Angus cattle as can
be seen anywhere. That raising pure
bred stock is profitable as well as en-.
tertalning Is shown in the prices he
receives for animals sold. A pair OF
heifers which he disposed of recently
brought him $500. while for three 9th.
ers he received $500 each He sells
his bulls for prices ranging from $3.50
to $500 apiece, and one COW which he
wisely keeps In his own hands he
values at $1,000. Strangely. young
Battles got no encouragement In this
work from his father, who, though n
har1worklng man, took no stock in
these newfangled ideas. His mother
encouraged hlm, however, and the
two proved successful team. This
instance Of success may be somewhat
out Of the ordinary. but II shows nice.
ly what can be accomplished with
intelligence and energy and dlaproves
the claim Of some that there are no
opportunities today for boys on the
farm. Other boys can do what this
one did IL they only think so.

A SPRAYING DEMONSTRATION.

The Nebraska experiment station
has lately tabulated tho results Of an
extensive series Of spraying expert.
ments which have been carried on un.
der its direction In the eastern part OF
the state during the past three years,
and they are so complete and worked
out In such detail as TO furnish most
convincing proof of the advantage and
profit In the spraying OF apple or.
chards. The figures given are the
average OF ten spraying tests. The
number of trees I'm the experiment WIS
1905 and their age nineteen years.
The average cost per gallon Of spray.
ing material was four-hfths Of n cent
and the cost Of application / cent pcr
gallon. An average of seventeen gal!
Ions of spraying liquid WIS used Oh
each tree yearly, while the total cost
OF material and labor per tree each
year was 30 cents. At picking time II
was found that the sprayed trees yield.
ed on an average 5.5 bushels Of ap-
pies, which brought III cents per bush.
el, or total OF $22G, walle the un.
sprayed trees bore 3.2 bushels OF fruit,
each Of which sold at % cents per
bushel, giving n return Of 20 cents per
tree, A subtraction shows that the
sprayed trees yielded revenue Of
Sl.56 per tree more than the unspray-
cd, while the deduction OF the cost OF
the spraying 80 cents, leaves $1.28 as
the net gain per tree due TO spraying
To these very convincing figures may
be added the further statement that
the trees were in much more vlgor.
GUS and healthy condition at the end
of the three years spraying than nj
the start. While this could not be flg
ured accurately In dollars and cents, II
would nevertheless be considerable.
