BACHELOR GIRL
 IS GOOD FARMER

From the Omaha Bee.
 Miss Eva Storer of Norrdgewock has proved that woman can be a successful farmer, writes John E. Taylor in the American Cutivator. She is manager of a large farm about two miles from the village on the north side of the river. Her speciality is poultry. She has made pronounced success in this and carried off a number of blue ribbons at the state fairs in tho last two years. She has for med a system in which she realizes from her hens big profits throughout the year. She believes that the success in poultry business is personal attention to the birds. She has her hens all nam ed and she can call them from the flock any time she chooses. She takes them in her hands and pets them and she declares that this attention has a great deal to do with making them lay.
 Miss Storer does not devote her time entirely to her hens. There are a lot of women who do this. but thcre are 123 women who can do this, but there are few women who are today managing all branches of farming and doing the labor that is required of a man on the farm. During the fall months Miss Storer did the blowing. Her father, an elderly man, is not able to do much work, and Miss

 Miss Storer is not a large, muscular woman. but to the contrary is small, and until she began to work on the farm was delicate. She is now in good health and shows a tinge in her face that illustrates that outdoor work is as adapted to women as men. Of all the breeds Miss Storers favorite is the white Indian game She does not what breed one keeps, for the kind that is liked best does the best as it is apt to receive the best care. The games, however have proved to be for her the best breed for eggs and poultry.
 Miss Storer has two 2-year-old hens that for six days have each laid an egg every day The eggs of the games are not so rich brown as those of either the Rhode Island Red or the Plymouth Rock, and are not so large as those of most strains of the Reds The Games are good sitters and moth- Iers and will always fight for their young when in danger. This breed stands the cold weather better than any other fowl that Miss Storer keeps. She says the white Indian Games are not fighters, as many suppose, but are as peaceable as the Rock or any other hen she has.

 This slatter development is seen palmer in western roads than in eastern. In order to make both ends meet without raiding dividends, railroad homogeneous are very generally cutting down their forces of employees and curtailing serv- ice. The burden of economies would, therefore, seem to fall on the work men. Under existing arrangements rail- roads are debarred from cutting wages and they are adopting the only other alternative left them by the trades union with whom they made their wage con- tracts. The same policy of payroll at tack is also being indulged in by many of the big industrial corporations. where contraction in business is also reported, although to a minor extent. The United States Steel corporation, for instance. admits a reaction of several points in new orders as compared with the rate month ago.

Three New Laws.

Denver.-Three new laws enacted
by the last Legislature and affecting
live stock interests will go into effect
on August 5th. The three in question
are the brand record act, the stallion
license act and the railroad stock
killing law. These new laws will add
considerable work to the duties OF the
stock board. After August 9Th all
brands will be recorded with the
Stock Inspection Board instead OF
with the secretary of state. The new
stallion law requires all stations in
the state to have a license from the
board. Preparations will be made to
take up this work at once. The new

feet and was finally dashed to pieces

below, Mrs. J. b. Baldwin of Denver
was so badly injured that she may
die. That she was not instantly
killed is due to the fact that her body
caught on a projecting ledge. BY the
time the automobile, rolling down the
mountain side like tumble-w.ed,
reached the bottom, its momentum
was so great that it bounced clear
across the bed of the creek. which is
between thirty and forty feet wide,
and in the descent was so badly
smashed that parts of its machinery
were found a hundred feet apart. The

County Lines Twelve Miles Off.

Denver.-After several days of re-
search work among the records of his
office. State Engineer Comstock has
reached the conclusion that one of the
boundary lines between three counties
in the western part of the state is
twelve miles out of place. How it
happened the state engineer is un-
able to say, but he declares that so
far as he has been able to discover
the legislative acts provide for a
boundary line between Summit, Eagle
and Garfield counties and Lake, Pikin
and Mesa counties that will run
twelve miles further north than the
line shown on all the maps.
