NORTH RIVER VALLEY
Products of Fertile Valley on Exhi-
bition-Rich Farming Region
Isolated from Markets.

o. $. Gillette. Il well known farm
er of the North River valley, has
pla "ed SAMPLES Of his products. in
fruits and vegetables, on exhibition
in the office of $. X. Bowes e. Co
The samples would be difficult to ex-
cell at the Seattle fair. and shows
what this rich farming district could
do if the county commissioners would
provide them with a road to the
ready markets at Aberdeen and 'Ho-
Cuam.
Mr.. Gillette says that all appeals
for an outlet to those markets have
so far been ignored by the county
commits toner's. and that every effort
has apparently been made to force
the trade to Montesano. This would
be all right if the county seat afford
ed market, which, Mr.. Gillette says,
it does net. He SAYS il is impOssi-
Bile for farmers to sell their products
for cash anywhere except in the har-
Dor cities.
Mr. Gillette appeared here once
before a meeting of the chamber of
commerce, and solic!ated aid for this
road, but nothing came of it. He
would like a meeting of that body
at which he and his neighbors would
attend, for the purpose of showing
the advantages to both farmers and
the consumers of permi ting them
to reach this market. The North
river valley is capable Of producing
all the vegetables consumed on Grays
Harbor and that region would quick
ly develop if access to this market

Another Artificial rertiIizer.

The success attained in Norway by
the electro-thermic process for the fixa-
ton of atmospheric nitrogen in the
form of nitric acid, which Is afterward
converted into calcium nitrate and
used as Il fertilizer in place of Chile
saltpeter, has been followed by the de-
velopment OF another method Of fixing
atmospheric nitrogen by passing it over
heated calcium carbide. The product
is called cyanamid-in the market mi
troilim"-and experiment shows that
when placed in the soil it decomposes
and furnishes nitrogen to plants. AT
present cyanamid is produced on an
Industrial scale at Odda, In Norway
at Piano d'Orta, In Italy; at Westere-
gein and Bruhl, In Germany. and large
plants are being established at Almis-
sa, In Austria Hungary, and at Mag.

1t is profitable to groom cows, espe-
cially In the spring. This is done in
the same manner that horse Is cur
ried and brushed, and the work as thor
oughly done as If grooming good
horse. The cows are curried with n
sharp currying comb until the loose
hairs are combed off and the dandruif
on the skin is loosened. They are then
rubbed down with straw and afterward
with a rub rag until the coat is smooth
and glossy. This opens up the pores
in the skin, sets up a healthy action in
the small blood vessels just under the
skin and helps a great deal in a direct
way in putting the COWS in good condi-
ton.
Give the COWS plenty of outdoor air
as soon as the weather moderates, but
do not compel them to stand out In the
cain. Keep them in the yard until the
grass is well started. for the first blades
are too watery to furnish nutrition, and
1t is false economy to turn stock on
pasture until it is well started. Any
saving of forage made in this way will
be paid for later by the shortness OF
the grass when it is most needed.

Eggs. Fresh and Otherwise.

Information comes from Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson that henceforth
eggs styled fresh or strictly fresh"
must live up to their profession. Stor-
age eggs must be labeled as such, IL
this rule is rigidly enforced--and the
States of Nebraska. Minnesota and
Pennsylvania are leading the van In
Furnishing violators of the law-there
Will be some queer experiences. 1t is a
well known fact that many persons
have been eating eggs two years old I'M
der the caption of strictly fresh"
While any person of sense realizes that
strictly fresh" eggs are almost unob-
tainable in midwinter and that the de-
velopment of cold storage facilities has
been n boon to the consumer. 1t goes
without saying that free-born man has
Il right to know what he is getting fol-
his money. Then If he prefers eggs
under the ban, let him have them.

BE a .New Farmer,


The farm problem of America is not
In bursting barns nor high bred stock,
nor soil fertility. nor even In the rural
school, but In the farmer himself. Its
solution is in the individual known as
the new farmer. The dreary drudgery
of the old farm existence is fast pass
Ing away, and in its place is coming a
broad, rich, free livelihood, never known
before-''the new country life" The
new farmer lives the new country life
the new farmer builds for his wife and
children a modern, sanitary, attractive
home the new farmer makes hard
roads. He installs telephone, receives
his mail by free delivery and encour-
ages interurban service, supports
thriving rural church and demands an
efficient consolidated school with high
school course for his sons and daugh'
ters at home The new farmer reads
and thinks :; he studies his own environ
ment, sees his opportunity and limita
lions improves the one and removes
the other. The new farmer Is not only
a scientist, but soclologist. He works
in harmony with his neighbors for The
general good and uplift of his imme
diate community, and above all else HI
realizes the dignity and Importance o
his own profession and individuality il
the permanent and national welfare.

Here are number of donts fof
smokers, some of which no doubt will
surprise a good many men: Don't
smoke directly after a meal. There Is

but 1t is wiser to wait half hour or
an hour. Don't smoke out Of doors In
a high wind or in cold, frosty wealth

and prevents proper breathing. Don't
smoke with the cigar or pipe held al
the corner of the mouth. This exciteS

bad habit of expectorating frequent

Chicks must be kept clean either

them every day is not too often. The
heat from the brooder makes droppings

the clutch is at least thirty-six hours
old. They do not need 1t for the yollx
