The soy bean is being put to use by
Chinese and japanese farmers which
might be adopted with decided advan-
tage by American farmers who live In
sections where this legume does well
The oil which Is extracted from the
bean is taking the place of linseed oil,
while the cake which is left after the
oil is removed is used with excellent
results as a substitute for linseed and
cottonseed meal as stock ration. The
advantage of the soy bean is that the
growing of it means soil enrichment
and not soil impoverishment, as is true

A friend whose acquaintance the
writer has lately made. though seven
ty-five years old and financially situ-
ated so that he could well get along
without working. nevertheless puts in
most every day on his acre ranch, cul-
tivating. hoeing and raking He works
In rain and shine and seems to enjoy
his labor. We asked him the other
day why he worked so hard. and he
told us be would be lost without some
thing to keep him busy and. besides. he
felt better and had a better appetite
and slept better. This working within
the limits Of his strength is doubtless
the primary cause Of his rugged health
and 70 some extent for the genial good
feeling radiating from him. 1t Is
very simple means our good friend
takes to keep himself shipshape and
his view Of things rational and whole
some, but yet one might well be used
by many another elderly man with

The regular bearing of fruit by trees
which have suffered some injury Sc
riously impairing their vitality, has
led orchardists to experiment along the
line of a purposeful cutting or wound
ing of orchard trees with the object in
view of getting them to produce some
thing besides healthy and glossy look
ing leaves. In some cases this is done
by removing several narrow strips Of
bark lengthwise from the trunk of the
tree, enough Of the bark and underly-
ing cambium being left between the
strips removed so that the tree will be
able to heal. Another plan followed
with considerable success consists in
cutting a circular trench about the tree
to the depth of three or four feet and
four or FIVE feet from the trunk and
severing all Of the roots which cross it.
In both of these methods it is well for
the novice to try them on a limited
scale with two or three trees.

education in other parts of the coun-

plan is labor system which will en-

their way with the work they do on
the farm connected with the Lyndon
academy. The expenses for the nine
months are figured at $50 for tuition.
SOS for board and room and SIS for
books. The boys are to be taught the
theory Of agriculture In the class room
and will work these theories out on the
farm under Intelligent supervision.
Remuneration is to be at the rate of

ing the summer. This plan will en-
able many an energetic boy to acquire
helpful education without having ac-
quired a bank account Of his own or
getting help from the old folks.

A very good audience laughed

night at the Spokane when the
Baker stock company opened with
this weeks offering. Fifty Miles

chorus of IL young women was
fairly pleasing in appearance and
the rejuvenated songs were well
received. Scenery and costuming
was varied enough to Danish mon
Otony and the work of the members
of the company was really quite
admirable. Louise Brownell as
Mrs. TilfOrd created the principal
humor of the piece and her song,

The work of Howard Russell as

done and the role of Tim Harrigan
as played by James Corrigan was
convincing.

NEW YORK, March 14--Edgar
Allen Poe's name will be perpetuated
in the Hall of Fame of New York
University as Il result of this years
election of candidates unless all signs
fail. The fight for Poe has already
been renewed with vigor, and those
who labored so hard for that end and
failed five years ago believe now that
they will be successful. When the 100
electors chosen by the senate of New
York University to vote for candidates
for the Hall of Fame sent in their bal
lots in 1905 it was found that in spite
of the energetic campaign in behalf OF
Poe l.a lacked nine votes.
Since that there have been 1G va
cancieS through death or otherwise in
the board of electors. Two of those
vaca' cieS. one occasioned bv the death
of Grover Cleveland and the other by
the death of Edmund Clareuce Stcd-
man. We're filled several months ago.

died on the anniversary of his birth.
He came to the United States when 20
