POULTRY NOTES.

Never buy pigeons unless the ma.
ting is guaranteed.
Poultry is not nuisance. They are
money-makers for the farmer.
The steam-heated poultry house has
gone the way of many other foolish
fads.
No hen should be kept after her sec.
ond year unless for breeding pur-
poses.
A brooder costs but little and en-.
tails less work than caring for hens
with broods.
With incubators and breeders
chicks may be produced when prices
are highest.
Grit Is very essential and a turkey
will consume more grit than any other
kind of poultry.
When dressed the Guinea presents
round, plump body, good-sized breast
and small bones.
Do not feed the turkeys on one
grain continually, but vary the food
to include principally corn, wheat and
oats.
Do not feed the turkeys heavy
meal in the morning, but feed lightly,
or not at ALL so they will have rea.
son to forage widely through the
fields.

Old Orchards and New Heads.

In the case of old orchards that
have long, bare limbs it is frequently
desirable to cut these entirely off and
form new head. A part of the limbs
may be left the first year, so that
while the new head is forming there
will sti'l be a part to bear fruit, or, if
there is no crop, the entire tops may
be cut back, If possible there should
be some small twigs left on each limb
Some of the advantages claimed for
trees that are headed in somewhat
are: The fruit is easier to pick; the
trees are less likely to break, as the
fruit is not borne at the ends of long,
bare limbs that act as levers; this
pruning Trims the fruit; the orchard
remains thrifty for a longer time.

Judqinu Dairy Cattle,

The appointment of men who breed
one kind of cattle to judge at the fairs
another kind is not healthy practice.
The breeders all differ in certain pc
culiarities, writes Prof. Thomas Shaw
in an exchange. Suppose breeder
of Ayrshires is appointed to Judge Jer-
seys. Such Judge will be almost
sure to discount Jerseys with the back
much swayed, as the Ayrshires have
straight backs. On the other hand,
suppose a breeder of Jerseys is asked
to judge Ayrshires. He is not in
clined to discount the swayback of
Ayrshires as the true breeder of Ayr
shires would discount the same. 1t is
different with the men who teach at
the agricultural colleges. 1t Is their
duty to study all the pedigreed breeds.

Colony House for Chicks.

In well-made colony house one
good mother hen can nicely care for
from 20 to 40 chicks. By setting two
or three hens at time, all of the
chicks may be given one hen and the
others started to laying again, The
colony house costs more than COM
mon COOP but it will more than pay
for itself in the number of chicks it
will save. See that the chicks are

The Postal SAVINGS Bill.

Washington.--The postal savings
bank bill practically has been agreed
upon in the house committee on post,
offices and post roads, although 1t may

features is that SO per cent of the de.
posts in postal savings banks may be
invested in government 3 per cent
bonds valued at $l4 each and multi,

When milk is frozen, the water in 1t

the butterfat, but experiments have

Senator Root a Puzzle.

Senator Root a Puzzle.
Senator Roots position in the sen
ate. and formerly in the cabinet of the
United States, has been in a sense a
puzzle to a good many people through
out the country, and in Washington
too, for that matter The New York
senator ordinarily is put down as an
extreme conservative, and yet he was
the chosen adviser of the extremely
progressive, even radical president,
Theodore Roosevelt Mr. Root is go
ing abroad shortly. and there he will
meet the former president who, 1t is
said, Is more anxious to get a state
ment of the political situation from
Elihu Root than from any other living
man
The New York senator has not been
long In the upper house, and for this
reason It is possible. even probable,
that he may be considered out OF the
question, as 1t relates to the choice OF
a leader. 1t is certain, however, that
MIR Root will continue to be an ad
yisory agent of great strength In the
Republican councils. even though he
should not be given the title and the
authority of chieftain.
Leadership May Be Nominal.
The Republican senators today are
actually discussing among themselves
the propriety OF having only nom.
inal leadership In the senate, and OF
Giving the power of chleftainship dur
mo the discussion of bills to the man
who seems to be best adapted to the
nort;cular occasion. This means sim
nlv that things will be carried on
much as they are at present except
that some of the power with which
Mr. AIdrich is possessed will be ia
ken away. The Rhode Islander owes
. large part of his strength and infu-
ence to his personality. There is no
man inst like him in the United States
senate and the Republicans know 1t,
Some one probably will be made utu'
lar leader, but seven or eight OF the
leading Republicans will form con-
ference body, and, If the present plan
10 carried out. will conduct all party
matters. look after legislation and
Win the reluctant ones into line II
II is found that 1t is necessary TO use
anything except gentle persuasion

expense of $50. 90. A spur from the
main line of the Northern Pacific rail-
road has been constructed past the
mouth of the incline. The company is
employing twenty-five men. and is
mining and shipping about one hundred
and twenty-five tons of coal per day.
The company intends to put in rope
haulaRe next year. and increase their
output to two hundred and fifty tons
daily.
The company has also plated a town
site south of the Northern Pacific tracks
and erected a substantial bridge ..over
Heart river, making progress from the
north and the south safe and of easy
grade. The townsite being on high

A general store and hotel will be
erected as soon as the weather permits
in the spring. Zenith will then be
ready to show in the general prosperity
of the country.
The prairie has hardly been scratched
by the ploughs of the industrious farm
ers, but when in a few years all these
broad acres are under cultivation and
millions of bushels of Drain are pouring

secured a home amongst us may call
themselves lucky.

some of the best breeding stock to be
found anywhere. Mr.. Partridge is a
fine horseman himself and knows the
good qualities of an animal at a glance.
Bert Townsend was in from Billings
county and took q Shire stallion at
81, 200 and two others at $500 each.
They are all pure bred and will be
taken to the ranch right away. Two

AMERICANS EASILY DUPED.

Why is it that swindlers from the
Orient find Americans such easy prey?
Is there a kind of glamour in their
strange garb and tongue7 Whatever the
reason the fact remains. Inquiries
have recently come 10 our U. S. consul
at Trebizond. Hon. Milo A. Jewett, also
to DR.. W. W. Peet, an American Board
missionary at Constantinople, concern-
ing a certain Mar Seraius. and other
HISTORIANS who are collecting funds here
and in Canada. ostensibly for church
buildings. schools and orphanages in
Turkey. The head of the Archbishop of
Canterbury's mission in Van, Rev. W.
A. Wigram. was authorized to make in
vestigations and he reports that the
money given has eve been spent on
anything except the collectors them
selves. He says: "A man in utter
poverty knows that by going to America
and pitching a year. that he would not
expect--to be taken seriously in his own
land he can collect So. 900. which is a
fortune here and live we'll meantime.
Imprisonment is 10 deterrent to these
men, seeing that the prisons of any civ
ilized land give board and lodging far
superior to any that they can get at
home. Confiscation of letters and money
if possible. and deportation of the
bearers az undesirable aliens is prefer
able if it is possible by American, as it
is by English law. What is needed for
the abatine of a custom that is at
once a scandal and a nuisance is that
the charitable should be more careful
in their giving. While their careless.
ness makes a low form of swindline
easy and profitable poor men will swim
die. l do not defend Mar Sereius nor bis
collectors, but l do not think the guilt
entirely on their side.
Mi. Wieram speaks strongly against
the folly of those in every country who
have apparently more charity than
brains" and advises people who really
wish to help Turkey in their hour of need
to give their contributions for any pur-
pose they wish, to some one of the mis-
sions at work in the land, and they will
have some security that the money will
be expended for the purpose for which it
is given" 1t should also be remembered
that not an orphanaee exists in Turkey
except those established and conducted
by missionaries. The patriarch of the
HISTORIAN church has made efforts to
stop the plumber. He has sent letters
to the government of India. authorizing
the prosecution of any who collect such
funds. and would no doubt do the same
for the U. S. government if requested.
