MISSOURI AND CANADA.

We have read of the hundreds of
American farmers who have become
dissatisfied and migrated to Canada.
But We seldom hear of the ones who
fail and are glad to slip back into
their home country again. We sub
nit the case of a Boone County far
mer who came here recently from
Canada.
He had read of the wonderful! op-
portunities in the country to the
North. Like many of us, the place
he read about was more enhancing
than the place he knew about. So
he went.
With his family he spent months
on the bleak prairies. Their only
neighbors were wolves and prairie
dogs. Winters were long and dreary
and summer frosts nipped crops.
Recently he came to Missouri and
looked at farms all over the state. He
was astounded at what he found.
Such farms! He found one that
suited in Boone County where he's
now located. He says it is better land
than can be obtained in Canada for
twice the money. He has friendly
neighbors. His wife is content after
many months of loneliness in prai-
rie home. His orchards are bending
with red fruit. All are happy.
Close association has tendency to
make the things about us seem COM
monplace Missouri has Opportuni-
ties for us all.

San Francisco, will make any man
a power in his own community. 1t
was not only his bravery, his willing
ness and ability to fight when fighting
was needed, but also his keen insight
into every. situation, his full compre-
hension of every affair. The most
dramatic moment in his life was when
he was called upon to speak to the
angered croed when Detective Heney
was shot. No incident better illus
trates the mans self-control and his
ability to grasp situation.
THE minister understood some
thing of the psychology of crowds"
writes Peter Clark Macfarlane in Col
lier's. "He knew that blood had to
be split that night-the blood of the
moments passion mus be drawn in
some way, or it would become a
seething cinder in the soul to which
reason could make no appeal. Care
fully and masterfully he drew the
minds of the turbulent crowd away
from mob violence, away from the
small bravery of hasty acts of pas
sion, and toward that supreme cour-
age and that truer patriotism which
supports the law and waits patiently
for it to exact its own vengeance
When the preacher finished, the dan
ger point was passed"
William RAIDER has done many other
things that are tribute to his manly
character and his profession. He is
to San Francisco what Frank Gun
saulus is to Chicago, a product of the
western city's battle-ax environment
as the latter is part and parcel of
Chicago's dominating enthusiasm. He
is San Francisco's second earthquake.

A MODERN JUPITER.

San Francisco had two earthquakes.
One shook buildings and destroyed
property. The other has shaken the
souls of men and destroyed vice and
corruption.
1t sometimes takes an earthquake,
or even some worse disaster, to bring
a man to the fullest realization of
himself and his duy to the world that
serves him. So it did with the pastor
of the Third Congregational Church,
San Francisco. At least it marked
the beginning of a new era in the
young preachers life. m
Ever since the San Francisco earth
quake, William RAIDER has been a
Jupiter in effect. He has been un-
ceasing in his efforts to shake the
whole city again. Grafters have trem-
bled and evil institutions have quaked
before his bold and crushing denun-
Citations. In the days when Ruefs
paint eaters" were known to be hun
griest and boldest, the young preach
er thundered at them and scourged
them not only from the pulpit, but
also through the press. During the
graft prosecution in San Francisco,
RAIDER wrote editorials for the Bulle-
tin, the organ of the secret investi-
gators. His sentences were burning
hot. His paragraphs were charged
with dynamite The clerical editorial
writer was unafraid.
And what has made RAIDER valu-

Eggs in Single Year-Plans OF the

the city limits adjoining the goil
links. Fruit trees were set out on the
entire farm last summer.
The poultry department was estab-
lished at the University last year.
Fifteen regular students enrolled in
the first class and thirty-five were in
the short course. Only six hours
work was offered last year and it was
not open to freshmen. This year six
teen hours are offered and first-year
students may enter. A special course
has been started for second-year STU
dents. Thirty-five are enrolled in the
department at present.
Mr.. Kempster says people are al
ways wondering what can be taught
about poultry husbandry and how it
is taught. The elementary course
deals with poultry house construction,
yarding, fattening, killing, dressing,
marketing and brief description Of
the more common breeds. Then there
are courses in feeding practice, poul-
try judging, poultry farm manage
ment and incubating and brooding
practice. In the laboratory work the
students visit the lumber yard and
get the prices of material for chicken
houses, then draw up plans for a
model house and reckon the cost of
| it. They kill and dress chickens,
grade eggs, study markets, expert
ment with food stuffs, figuring rations
and keeping record of feed to deter
mine the cost of production. They
have practice work in incubation and
/ brooding. The student matches chick
ems, keeping accurate records. Six
teen incubators with a capacity of
$500 eggs are owned by the depart
ment, and there is brooder capacity
/ for 1000 chicks.
considering that this is only the
second year for the department, I
think we are doing rather WELL" said
MIR. Kempster, though, of course,
there are lots of improvements to be
made. We have great plans for next
year and some day in the near future
we expect to have big new building
on the poultry farm. We now use
the small stone building formerly oc-
cupied by the veterinary department.

shown in Missouri, and other states.
as we'll, in the development Of the
poultry department at the University.
Mrs. Cacklemuch is the hen that laid
not one golden egg, but two hundred
perfectly good eatable eggs in one
year. She is at present the most
famous parsonage in the elect circle
of the seven hundred at the chicken
colony; but the improvements made
during the last few months at the COL
ony will do much towards raising
others of the younger generations to-
her standard, according to H. l..
Kempster, assistant professor of poul-
try husbandry at the University.
There are now ten modern colony
houses on the poultry farm where the
young chicks are bred and raised.
There are two model chicken houses
whicn are shown to visiting farmers
as patterns. The experiment station,
the first house on the farm, was built
fast January. 1t is IL by $50 feet
with a southern exposure and a
raised walk on the south side where

complete view of the interior. Small

chickens can go out into pens. The
nests are all trap nests. When the
hen flies in her back touches a slid
ing wire door which Immediately falls
down into place, penning the hen into
her nest until someone opens the door
for her. The eggs are gathered about
five times day.
The model chicken houses have
room for about seventy chickens, the
average number owned by the Mis-
souri, farmer. says Mr.. Kempster. The
colony houses are nearly all portable
and are built of different materials
and upon different plans.

mer says one kind is too expensive
or does not suit him, We show him
another kind and he is sure to find
one that he likes.
I'VE expect to keep some Of the
chickens shut up in these houses all
winter" he continued "They will be
fed three times a day and fresh straw
will be kept on the floors. The chick
ems are perfectly happy there and
will lay much better than when they
are allowed to run around"
This summer automatic feeders and
exercisers were placed about the
farm. These are tanks of cans on
tripods about two feet from the
ground. Hanging from the cans are
pendulums with bumps on the end
painted to resemble grains of corn
The chickens pick at these limitations
and a shower of grain falls from the

the chickens some exercise. I have
seen the male bird pick at that thing
for half an hour at time, while the
hens flocked abou him eating and
singing"
There are about seven hundred
chickens of sixteen breeds on the
farm this year. The farm consists OF
