wanted to know what was inside

she tried the scissors and the

and all the punches of keys she
could dig up, but she couldent git

We plant sunflowers around

Each coop is made for seven or
eight chickens, and can be built
for Sc. The coops have sand
floors spaded once a month.
Feeding is very important. In
the morning each layer Is fed a
handful of scratch seed buried in
the sand inside the coop. At noon
We feed them a mash compound,
composed of equal parts of bran,
cornmeal, ground oats, and dry
bread, with one pound of beef
scraps to every so hens, and
some sour milk.
Each coop has hoppers con-
tanning charcoal, oyster she'll,
beef scrap and bran all the time.
The night feed is the same as
morning. For green feed we use
lawn clippings, beet leaves, let
tuce, for the summer, and steam

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct.
2S.-A United States citizen with
$500 and desire to get farm
and earn a living, hasn't much
chance to succeed on such small
capital.
In Victoria, a state of Australia,
he can not only get start, but he
will succeed II he has ordinary in
telligence and industry.
Here's how they do 1t In Vic
toria.
You want farm. The govern
ment owns the land and Is ready
to sell it. You can not get over
200 acres; SO acres is the average
irrigated Victoria ranch. First
you select your farm and while
you are doing this you traevl on
government owned railroads at
half fare, sleep in government
houses at a cost for room and
meals of $3.50 a week. You pick
your land, paying from $50 to
800 an acre. All of it Is accessi-
BILE to railroads. Your first pay
ment is 6 per cent Of the teal
price and the government allows
you 81 " years to pay the bal
ance, charging 4 per cent interest.
Next you want a house. The gov
eminent builds it, giving you 10
years to pay for it's cost.
Then when you are ready to
move, you are given free transpor-
tation on the government railroads
for yourself, family and house
hold goods.
You're ready to farm.
Out of the $500 you started
with you have perhaps 81, 900 left,
to buy live stock, build fences,
barns and make other necessary
improvements. Water is furnished

General Prices army was

His soldiers struggled all
over the field. Price rode up
in the midst of all the dis
order and shouted:

you, close up! If the Yam

Suppose you are failing to get
results from your farm. It's no
fault of yours. You've done the
best you know how. Go to the
government experts.
One of them looks over your
ranch, tells you what's the trouble
and watches over you until he sees
you are on the right road. And
you don't have to pay cent for
his help.
When you harvest your crops
they are shipped over the govern
ment railroads at cost And last,
but by no means least, you pay no
taxes. Victoria has two kinds Of
tax-land and income tax. But no
man, or woman, who has an in
come of less than $4,000 year or
owns less than $4,000 worth Of
real estate, Is assessed.
