OUR FRIEND, THE DOG.

Man loves the dog, but how much more ought he to love it If he con- sidered, in the inflexible harmony of the laws of Nature, the sole exception, which Is that love of being succeeds in piercing. in order to draw closer to us. the partitions, everywhere else inn permeable. that separate the species! We are alone. absolutely alone on this chance planet, and amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one. ex- cepting the dog. has made an alliance with us A few creatures fear us, most are unaware of us, and not one loves us. In the world of plants we have dumb and motionless slaves; but they serve us in spite of themselves. They simply endure our laws and our yoke. They are impotent prisoners, victims incapable of escaping, but si- lently rebellious, and as we lose sight of them, they hasten to betray us and return to the former wild and mis- chievous liberty. The rose and the corn. had they wings. would fly at our approach like the birds.-Maeter- Ennlr

POWER FUR
 RANCH USE How il is Proposed toFurnlsh
 i to Farmers ANSWER 10 AN INQUIRY
Community Groups are Ad- vised to Organize Little
 Distributing c o mpanies and Buy in Quantity from

A rancher of the valley reports to The Republican that the farmers are many of them exercised over a story that before the farmers can secure government power, or power to be generated in the plants about to be constructed by the Water Users as- sociation, each ten or a dozen of them living in a neighborhdod must erect a distributing plant. He requests the publication of an article explaining the conditions. The subject has been treated eXhaustively in these columns before. but Tor the benefit of those who may not yet understand the situ- ation further reference will be made to 1t.
 The power as it comes from the generating plants over the transmits sion wires is of high voltage, and has to be transformed before it can be used by the individual patron. The erection of separate transformer on each ranch would be too expensive for either the government or the ranchers to undertake, for the reason that single rancher would require SO little power. If one had a ranch large enough and utilized machinery enough to warrant his erection of a transformer and distributing plant, the government would sell him the power just as it would a private manufac- turing concern. It will not furnish the distributing system any more than if would furnish the necessary wires for utilizing power bought by a manu- featuring patron, a street car com pany or a municipality.
 It is the desire of the government to make the power available to every

 Superintendent Waters states that the camp will be in charge Of John A. Hunter who is tn be assistant superintendent of the shelter. T.. A.

SEEDLINGS ARE A NECESSITY
Apple Tree One Foot High May Be
Grown During Summer If Given
Proper Cultivation.

Apple seedlings are still necessity
and will continue to be. They must
be grown by the million for the nurs-
eryman, or the amateurs may grow
them by the thousand
Save seed by packing cores away
in moist sand, and it is better to save
seed from good apples than from culls.
Prepare ground by deep blowing; new,
rich land is the best Sow in drills,
rows ten inches apart and cover not
over two inches Rake over surface
early in spring to break crust and kill
weeds. Under this treatment the seed
will sprout readily If you give good
culture you may expect the seedlings
to be one foot or eighteen inches high
by October 1, but cultivation should
stop August Is. Take up and cellar
before hard freezing

POULTRY NOTES.

Provide shade for all the poultry
during the hot days.
The fowls should have water in
abundance at all times.
Exercise is as essential for growing
chicks as feed and water.
The lack of protein is the direct
cause of mature pullets not laying
Asserting market eggs according to
size and color is a good business
move.
Little turks are delicate little crea-
lures and should be watched at all
times.
If protein is supplied freely there
will be an abundance of eggs from
the same flock.
Use a good lice paint on the roasts
in the morning, and repeat every two
or three weeks.
Sunshine is very necessary for sue
cess with poultry when supplied to
the right places.
Grit is essential at all seasons of
the year. Oyster shells should al
ways be available.
incubator CQlCheuS even uuu0I CuS
best Of care have a hard time Of it;
without care they perish.
In the production of eggs as in that
of milk, proper feeding is essential to
attaining the best results.
No matter what kind Of floor there
is in the poultry house, the main
thing is not let it get damp.
Do not give sweet milk one time
and sour the next as this changing
from one to the other will cause
bowel trouble.
Don't let the little chicks run in the
wet grass. This causes many ills
which make great inroads on the
number of chicks.
Hen nests should be cleaned and
whitewashed after each hatch before
starting another, and the old nesting
materials should be burned Fight
lice now and all the time.
A house eight by twelve is a very
| convenient size for a small flock Of
fowls. If large flock is to be housed
two or more small ones would be bet
ter than very large house.

Memories of English Writers.

At Rose Cottage, formerly occupy
ing the site of the Southwest Town
Hall, lived Thomas Binney, the hymn
writer, and there he entertained Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe during her
stay in London. At Rowbotham' S
academy, hard by Rose Cottage,
John Ruskin attended school, In
other side streets off the Walworth
road were born Michael Faraday and
Emily Andrews, afterward Mrs. Gov
entry Patmore and the inspirer of
'The Angel in the House"
Within a stones throw of Gambler
well Green are the birthplaces of
Robert Browning and Professor
Jowett, while Denmark Hill must al
ways be remembered as the lifelong
home of Ruskin. Dulwich, too, as
everyone knows, is full of famous
memories. Byron is said to have at
tended a school in the neighborhood
and Dulwich Woods were the favorite
haunt of the youthful Browning

HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un-
expected thing and can be corrected If
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
81 was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware of the
Injurious effects of the habit till /
became practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
81 continued to drink coffee, how
ever not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance | was rejected on ac-
count of the trouble with my heart.
Then became alarmed. I found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so
[ quit it altogether and having been
attracted by the advertisements Of
Postum 1 began it's use.
"The change in my condition was re-
markable. All my ailments vanished.
My digestion was completely restored,
my nervousness disappeared, and,
most important of all, my heart stead
led down and became normal, and on
second examination 1 was accepted by
the Life Insurance Co. Quitting coffee
and using Postum worked the change" !"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There's a reason" and it is ex-
planned in the little book, "The Road
to Wellville," in pkgs.

IMPROVE ASPARAGUS IN WEST
Keep Ground Well Cultivated and Ir-
risated During Season-ShouId
Last Twenty Years.

tBy w. PADDOCK, Colorado Agricul-
tural College)
A deep, loamy soil is best suited to
asparagus culture, and it can scarcely
be made too rich by the addition of
well rotted stable manure The ma
nure should be plowed or spaded in
deeply and the soil put in the best
of tilth. After the ground has been
thoroughly prepared, burrows are
made, preferably running north and
south, and four feet apart The plants
are set from three to four feet apart
in the row, depending upon the rich
ness of the soil, and from four to six
inches below the general level of the
ground. The plants should not be
covered to the full depth at once, as
many of the young shoots would not
be strong enough to push through to
the surface of the ground. On the
contrary, cover the crowns with about
three inches of soil and fill in the
rest gradually by cultivation during
the summer.
Keep the ground well cultivated and
irrigated during the season, and as
soon as the tops ripen In the fall, they
should be cut and burned Follow this
by giving the bed a good coating of
manure, which is to be worked into
the soil in the spring. The subsequent
treatment of the bed will be much
the same as outlined for the first sea-
son. No shoots should be cut for use
until the third season after planting,
and preferably not until the fourth.
By taking pains to start the bed
right it should last at least twenty
years. While the outlay will be small,
it is difficult to imagine any other
feature of the garden that will afford
more satisfaction.

Two men on train were in an ar

claimed one.
Nothing Of the sort!" was the re-
ply. "It's the output of the exhaus-
tion"
At the next stop it was decided to
submit the matter to the decision Of
the engineer. Leaning out of the win
dow of his cab, he listened conde-
scendingly to the arguments of both
men. Finally he said:
''As matter of fact, you're both
wrong. When we want to stop the
train we just learn this tap, which
fills the pipe with vacuum"

| dred eggs are soon brought to the
regulation lightneSs without the least
labor to the cook, who merely presses
button starting the eggbeater, and
then goes off to attend to something
else The housewife who labors an
hour to bring eggs to the proper light
ness for sponge cake can more readily
appreciate the labor-saving qualities Of
the electric eggbeater than anyone
else. 1t is no uncommon thing for
hundred eggs to be beaten in this
manner, for egg custard is one of the
favorite deserts of the cadets. The
electric potato peeler is the greatest
labor saving device in the kitchen and
is the invention of an army officer.
About five barrels of potatoes are
used daily, and the whole amount can
be peeled IN half an hour. A bushel
of potatoes are put into the machine
at a tine, the lever is turned, which
sets the knives going, and inside of five
minutes the whole bushel of potatoes,
perfectly pared without the least
waste, falls into a tub. The Chinese
prince was so delighted with this use
full apparatus that several bushels of
potatoes were peeled for his amuse-
ment There is also an electric appa-
ratus for cutting potatoes into various
shapes Nearly two hundred gallons
of milk is sterilized every morning by
the electric sterilizer, for the surgeons
at West Point are determined to be
sure that the milk used by the cadets
shall be free from bacteria
The absence of unclean dishes about
the kitchen is refreshing, for it is an
ironclad rule that each pan or dish
must be washed Immediately after
use The dishes are placed in large
wire basket, the inevitable button is
pressed, which causes the bucket to
sink into scalding water, where it re-
wolves for few minutes, and the
dishes are thoroughly washed. An
other lever lifts them to trays, where
they are turned out to dry. The dishes
used at dinner by between 400 and 500
cadets can be washed and put away by
two persons in this manner in half
an hour Uncle Sam is an economical
housekeeper and insists that there
shall be no waste Indeed, the average
housekeeper would be surprised to
learn how economical the chef at
West Point is in his work, as it shows
by the accounts which are turned in
to the quartermaster each day.
All the silver used in the mess hall
is polished by electricity and it is re-
markable how easily the most elabo-
rately chased pieces are cleaned and
how the brush reaches the tiny corners
and cleans in few minutes piece Of
silver which would require hours of
handwOrk. The kitchen range is a
model of cleanliness; in fact, the
whole atmosphere of the kitchen sug.
gests cleanliness and well-cooked, dain.
| tily served food. The chef knows
the appetites of the cadets, and does
his best to please them in his menu.
The bill of fare varies each day, and
there is little complaint about the
food. Those in authority realize that
boys who are growing and who have
as much exercise as cadet require
| plenty of food and of the most nour-
ishing quality. Special dishes are
prepared for the athletes who are in
training, and certain articles of food
are tabooed, especially pastry.
