Junkin made the confession at the

It transpired that Junkin made
a futile break for liberty through a

which he is confined, on the third
floor of the court house. Six armed
men sit around Junkin's cell to
guard him from lynching and to pre-.

Maintain Fertility Of the Soil.

AS much as 1t has been talked
about, the greatest problem that yet
confronts the American farmer is the
Increasing and maintaining of soil fer
tility. Fertilizers outside of the home
farm supply are variable quantity
expensive and difficult to secure. The
only source to be relied upon Is the
home stable.
The foundation for the increasing
of soil fertility is stable manure. To
produce 1t the farmer must keen
horses and cows. In keeping them he
can make profit from the animals
themselves, and he is also able to in.
crease the general profits of the farm
through judicious use of the manure
they produce. In this way he is
making a double present profit and al
the same time maintaining the fertil.
ity of his farm for future profit and
general satisfaction in growing things
If a farm, for want of sufficient fer.
tilization, is gradually decreasing In
fertility the owner is staring a grave
proposition in the face, and he must
be naturally of very sunny disposi.
ton to see the right side of farm life
under such conditions. With plenty
Of homemade fertilizer and his land
gradually increasing in fertility. he
has good grounds for always being
optimistic. Keeping and breeding an.
finals on the farm makes 1t possible.

THE SHEEP.KILLING DOGS.
An Effective Method for the Proven
tion of Destruction of Sheep BY
Providing Animals.

One Of the serious problems q
farmer has to contend with is the
sheep-killing dog. One good method
is to procure some loud-sounding
bells and attach them to the sheep,
one bell to every twenty head. This
will not keep away every dog, but II
viii scare out many of them. The
average sheep-killer breads publicity
and any noise that will attract atten-
ton to his movements will cause him
to leave the farm.
When the dog that is not afraid OF
sheep bells comes along. II any OF
the people are at home and awake
the bells will be heard and the sheep
rescued.
To safeguard against the attacks At
night and when all are away from
home surround one permanent pas
ture with a woven wire fence and
make a gate of the same material or
OF high pickets, so that no dog can get
into that field. Put the sheep In that
lot at night and whenever there is
no one to hear the bells and to pro.
tect the sheep. To find whether your
pasture is dog-proof or not borrow
some dogs Of assorted sizes and breed
and shut them into the field. IL they
cannot get out dogs cannot get In. OF
course the fence must fit tight to the
ground. II 1t is not high enough to
prevent Jumping over. stretch wire
or two above But few dogs will
cross a fence Of ordinary height
unless there is something on top to
rest their feet upon while in the act.
A fine wire will throw them back.
Goats and horned dorsets may az,
ford some protection against small
dogs, but II would be impossible for
them to protect a flock against an at.
tack from two or more large, savage
and swift sheep.killers.

LAB0RER SENDS $1,000 TO
ITALY TO RANSOM SONS,
Mann Borrowed Money, Leaving
Boy as Security.

Spokane, Wash, June. -When
Daniel Mann, q farm laborer, EN-.
ployed by John Kranish on his Mo
ran prairie ranch, five miles from
Spokane, cabled q money order for
81 200 to Genoa, Italy, he released
his four sons, ranging In age from 20
to 8 years, held there as security for
funds he borrowed several months to
bring his wife and four daughters to
Spokane.
Prominent residents OF Spokane
county have interested themselves In
the case, and they say II settlement
IL not made by a steamship agency
at Bremen that suit will be institut
cd to recover damages.
LEFT RUSSIA OCTOBER 3.
Briefly told, Mann's story is that
he and his family OF 10 left the vii
lage OF Kuraka, Russia, on October
3, 1908, for Germany, intending to
sail from Bremen for New York and
to travel thence by rail to eastern
Washington, and that when they
reached the sailing point the steam
ship agent induced them through
Misrepresentation to go to Brazil;
that they were iorcibly detained at
an immigrant house In the forest
near Prosttenort, where one Of the
children died, and finally he was
swindled out Of 200, the savings
Of o lifetime OF toll In the cars land.
They managed to reach Genoa,
where he was forced to leave four
sons as Q guarantee to repay money
advanced by Michael Lauiti, who
took pity on the ismily's plight.
"We found thousands Of men, vo.
men and children on the densely tim.
bered and rocky lands Of Brasil be-
vailing their fate," Mann said, Like
ourselves, they were immigrants
from Europe. We we're warned there
not to tell any one about the real con
dition Of the country, and, 10 fact,
ws we're told that death BY hanging

The Poultry Yard.
The louise is q night hawk.

The louise is q night hawk.
Rush the broilers along. Tht
quicker you can get them on she
market the better for you.
What is prettier than q bunch o.
thrifty chicks, all OF one color and
breed, and as much alike as 30 many
peas?
As every chick Matched carries ths
blood OF the male, IL is important
that great care be taken In selecting
the head OF the flock.
Hens feel the warm weather ss
much as other folks. Give them a
shady place to cit down once In a
while and rest. They will do all the
better for Is.
Some folks think that hens do not
need oyster-shells when they can run
out. just try giving them some and
see how that is. You will be wiser
after that.
My method for keeping lice from
troubling the poultry at night, is to
suspend the roosting poles by wires
from the raiters Of the house. II the
poles are smooth, the lice will not re.
main on them II they are there at all.
Turkey hens are profitable until
five years old, but It Is a good plan
to change the gobblers every year.
1t requires twenty.eight days to
hatch a turkey egg, and seven eggs
are considered setting. The nests
should be on the ground.
Advertising was a great inven.
tion," said the successful business
man. 81 wonder who was the first
to advertise his manufactures.
There's no exact data on the sub.

looking for"
A fowl house should not be foul
house. Wake up and clean up. Lice
and disease germs thrive In filth.
When cleaning up look in the cracks
and crevices about the walls and
roosts for mites. These pests do not
stay on the birds except when hunt.
