An Astonished Boy.

In February OF this year a Wiscon-
sin farmer took his twelve-year-old boy
to a village for the first time. and
there the lad saw a train of cars. He
was SO astonished at the sight that he
lost the power of speech for three
weeks.
If that youngster is ever taken to a
circus or a geological garden he'll
surely be struck dumb for the rest OF
his life. His fathers farm must be
hidden away in hole in the ground.

there was . rapid slamming Of doors

A New Industry.

Arvada is to have new indus
try in the near future, in fact ar
rangements have about been
completed by R. A. Rogers and
DR.. V. C. Shoop for the starting
of a muskrat farm. At first
thought this may sound like a
joke, but on second thought it
may be easily seen that it is a
serious and undoubtedly paying
business. These gentlemen will
fence about an acre of land, on
which is an old slew, with wire
netting. sinking the fence sew
eral feet below the ground so
that the rats will not burrow
out. They are making arrange
ments to procure about 100
female rats to start the farm
and as they multiply very rapidly
expect to soon have a large
number of hides for the market.
A muskrat hide is worth about
so cents and as it will take very
little to feed the animals there
should be big profit in the
business. They will not confine
themselves alone to muskrats
but will also raise skunks, mink
and any other fur bearing animal
they may be able to procure.
1t is their intention to organize
and incorporate company with a
capital of several thousand dollars
and their business and fences will
be extended as the increase de-
mands. Already a large number
of shares have been subscribed
for and Mr.. Rogers informs US
he is having very little trouble
disposing of them at one dollar
per share.
