The wrecking crew did not bring a
derrick with them that was heavy enough
to lift the engine, so they had to pull il
back on level with block and tackle
and in so doing experienced considerable
trouble in getting cable that would
stand the strain, heavy hemp roaps be-
ing broken seemingly before little strain
had been put on them.
However by the middle of the after
noon the wreck was cleared up in fairly
good shape and as it happened on one OF
the side tracks, TRAFFIC on the man line
was not interfered with.
Taking all things INTO consideration,
everyone got out Of the trouble quite
nicely, as there could easily have been q
number of men killed or at least serious
" injured
This makes the third wreck that has
occurred within eight miles of Elk Point
within the past three weeks.
The engines were sent to Sioux City
for overhauling.

They tore up the track for about so
feet and the front engine came very near
turning over.
A wrecking crew was at once sum-
moned and at once got to work to clear
up the track. The rails were fixed up
under the second engine and as 1t was
not off the track in nearly such bad
shape as the first, but little difficulty
was experienced in getting it back
where it belonged. However, BY the
time the wrecking crew had got 10 the

an extent that il was found necessary to

THE VALUE OF POULTRY

Professor Gilbert of Ottawa, Cam
ada, in answering the question,
why is poultry valuable to a far
mer?' gives the following reasons:
1. Because he ought, by their
means, to convert a great deal of
waste of his farm into money in the
shape of eggs and chickens for mar
ket.
=. Because with intelligent man.
agement they ought to be all-year
revenue producers with the excep-
ton of perhaps two months during
the moulting season.
3. Because the poultry will yield
him quicker return for the capital
invested than any of the other de-
partments of agriculture.
t. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make a valuable
compost for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard The birds them
selves, if allowed to run in plum or
apple orchard, will destroy all in
furious insect life.
). Because, while cereals and
fruits can be successfully grown in
certain sections, poultry can be
raised for table use or layers of eggs
in all parts of the country.
6. Because poultry raising is an
employment in which the farmers
wife can engage and leave him free
to attend to the other departments.
I. Because it will bring the best
results in the shape of new-laid
eggs during the winter season, when
the farmer has thc. most time on
his hands.
s. Because to start poultry on
the farm requires little or nc. Ca ital.

the COST OF HARVEST
ING AN Apple CROP
(From Decem Der Better Fruit"O

Realizing that it will be Of gener-
al interest to cur readers, and in
particular to those who have young
orchards. to know the approximate
cost of harvesting an apple crop,
the editor of Better Fruit" sub
mits the following figures. In ex-
PLANTATION | desire to say that the
gross cost per box is practically ex-
act, that is, forty and one-half;
but IN itemizing the account it is
impossible to be exact without going
into too small fractions of cent.
On account of the difficulty of
changing the men from one job to
another, it is impossible to deter
mine the exact figures The first
four items in the following sum-
mary are exact, but the last six
items in the list are approximate.
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1911-01-27
A MOST SIGNIFICANT INCREASE

How many farmers would believe
it, if they were told that doubling
the milk production of their COWS,
by getting COWS that could double
it, would more than quad,uple
their profit? Yet, this is just what
Prof. Boeggild, the great Danish
authority, says the Danes found to
be true
When we note what the average
production per COW is, with the
average farmer, it does not seem
such big task to double, or. as we
said above, get COWS that will
double it. But think once on the
fact that four times the profit will
come with that increase. Herein
lies the important fact, which so
many farmers fail to see, that is,
that they never get cent OF profit
till the COW has taken heavy toll
from her feed for bodily support.
1t costs just as much to support the
body of a poor cow as of a good
COW. But the good COW pays for
her support and the cost ..of the
surplus milk andssa profit!besides.
We must learn to look deeper into
this dairy question.
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1911-01-27

To this might be added an APP
prOximate estimate of the cost of
cultivating and pruning OF about
five cents per box, and the spray
ing will cost about five cents per
box per year, making the cost of
production about fifty cents per
box.
There are, of course, many fea-
lures that would vary these figures
and the total cost. For instance
the size of an orchard, the facilities
for handling and packing, and the

feels that, in the above itemized list,
the cost of wiping and grading could
be reduced possibly to three cents
and picking to four cents, making
ii possible saving of five cents. The
estimates of different growers will

FARM BEEKEEPING

1t is strange that so small a per
cent of the farmers keep bees. The
sugar and syrup bill is perhaps one
of the greatest and most constant of
the farmers grocery bills. lie
raises almost everything else on the
farm. He could raise the sweets
also if he would.
There are some things bees can
not do for themselves-to your
profit-and these things you must
know how and when to do. You
must give them the burned odors OF
a kerosene lamp if you would get
the sweet nectar they gather, In
other words, you must do Il little
reading by the winter lamp, or after
the work is done in summer. The
go-as- you-please way OF keeping
bees is about as profitable as the
same method Of keeping poultry or
COWS. There is 50 much bee litera-
ture that it is useless to plead ignor-
ance as an excuse for not keeping
some bees on the farm.
Perhaps some member of the
family has that fitness which would
enable him or her to do well with
bees. But, like any other new line,
it should be studied and begun with
caution. Get a few hives and learn
bv experience rather than start big
and lose all the first year
