Steamer and Auto Drive

During the afternoon the visitors
were given a most delightful steamer
ride on the lake and Mississippi river
as far as the dam. So
In the early evening an auto drive
was enjoyed around the entire lake
distance of sixteen miles, and it is
hardly within our power to describe
the grandeur of the scenery passed
through. It was beautiful moon
light night and we were particularly
impressed with the several tracts of
tall virgin pine which was new
sight to most Of the party, and are
only to be seen in the northern part
of the state. Most of the pine land
through which we drove is owned by
a Mr.. Ruggles, wealthy resident of
Michigan, who is very anxious to ac-
quire new tracts but will not offer
any for sale. His holdings are very
valuable and include some of the
finest specimens of pine to be found
anywhere.
Would Preserve The Pine
"The citizens of Bemidji are very
anxious that these tracts Of pine,
which border on the lake and through
which one passes in: taking the drive
be preserved for future generations,
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1913-08-22

dS the trees are IaSC being cut down,
both for the purpose Of clearing the
lands for cultivation and also to sup
ply the demands for lumber.
To thus preserve these tall and
grand specimens of pine is too heavy
an undertaking for the city of Benz
ld1 or Beltrami county, and it is now
hoped that the state can be interested
to the extent that 1t will purchase
these tracts of pine lands and desig-
nate them as state parks, all sur
rounding a beautiful body Of water.
We would like to see this done by
the state of Minnesota, for the gen
eratlons now growing up and those
to come will greatly appreciate such.
action and expenditure on their part.
Those who have taken this beautiful
drive are. impressed with the gran
deur OF the scenery and feel that the
wish of the people of Bemidji for the
perseverance of the land in it's wild
and natural state is most worthy and
should receive consideration from the
people of the entire state.
Some Good Roads Work
'"The fact that autoists are able to
drive around Lake Bemidji is largely
due to the work and effort of the
auto club of that city. Over one-half
of the road was built and paid for by
the club, a great deal of crawling
being necessary, bridges had to be
built and culverts installed. 1t was
a heavy undertaking for the club but
the autoists contributed literally and
raised sums by 'tag days." and in
other ways which were spent on the
road. The work is not yet completed
but in another year will be in fine
condition. The roads are quite sandy
and instead of the rain making them
hard to travel it only improves
them. This drive, without question,
surpasses any in the west for gran
deur and beauty of scenery. 49,
Inspected Lumber Mill
GAS the party was nearing the city
on the return trip, stop was made
at the largest of the lumber mills on
Lake Bemidji, and an opportunity
given them to inspect the plant while
in full operation at night. 1t was a
most interesting sight, especially to
those who had never visited such a
plant before
"a brief visit to the Commercial
club rooms where an opportunity was
given the visitors to meet many of
the business men of Bemidji, COM
pleted the days, program. The visit
ing party was driven to the train
when they departed for their homes
The day is one that will be long re-
membered by those in the party, for
the welcome extended by the people
of Bemidji was genuine and the en-
tertainment provided most hospitable.
"While we have not viewed the
other sites offered for the new Nor
NAL school, yet it. is our opinion as
we'll as that of all those in Wednes-

wisely and conscientiously in MAX
ing the selection they did The city

'SUL LPHURlNG' THE HEN HOUSE
Job Should Be Performed at Least
Once Every Month--Flrst Re
move All combustibles.

To burn sulphur in poultry house
first remove all combustible matter.
Then put an old iron kettle into
dishpan and place on four bricks in
the middle of the house. In the ket-
tie put some cobs which have been
soaked in a solution OF one part OF
pine tar to four parts Of kerosene,
sprinkle the sulphur over the cobs
and set on fire.
Be sure TO have everything arranged
so as to beat a hasty retreat from
the room and close the door quickly
as the sulphur fumes are suffocating.
Sulphur burned in this manner will
penetrate every crevice as we'll as
covering the surface and aids Won
derfully in purifying the building and
In destroying poultry vermin.
One pint of turpentine may be add
ed to the half gallon of kerosene as
well as the pine tar with beneficial
results. Once a month is none too
often to burn sulphur in every poultry
house.

Good for Several Uses.

Individual pens if desired This kind
of house is also suitable for raising
early hatched chicks.
The upper windows are hinged so
they may be swung open at any de-
sired angle or TO be booked up as
the weather demands. The lower
front is covered with one-inch mesh
wire and a drop canvas or windows
may be used. The window should be
hung so as to swing in at any desired
angle. Roosts are placed along the
north wall. A single roost running
the length of the building and set
out two feet from the north wall, may
be made to serve the purpose.
A .roost shield for cold weather can
be made of a frame the length of the
roosts and two feet wide, to be COW
cred with sound burlap on top and
sides. Place this frame six inches
above the birds heads and let the
burlap hang a foot below the roosts.
This frame should be drawn up out
of the way each morning.
If nests are place low enough not
many hens will lay on the floor and it
is often considered better still to place
them right on the floor. A screen
made of burlap so 1t will almost hide
the nests make them more attractive
to the hens and helps to prevent egg.

SSSSSSs SssxAJU

Never breed from immature stock.
Ground bone is great for laying
hens.
The first symptoms of roup-swol
len eyes.
Dampness and chilling mean sure
death to chicks.
Do not allow the fowls to be exposed
to the strong winds.
Soft-shelled eggs are sign Of lack
of lime or of overfeeding.
Scrub hens kept by scrub poultry
men make a bad combination.
Sifted ashes scattered under the
roosts make an excellent absorbent.
Try hard never to catch a hen by
the wing or feathers; grab her by
the legs.
A little granulated charcoal mixed
in the soft feed is excellent in cases
of diarrhoea.
If there are cracks In the walls of
the houses, the chilly winds are sure
to create draft.
The best way to run an incubator
is TO follow the directions that come
with the machine.

her living is too lazy to make you a

Leghorns make poor sitters. Bet
ter not trust the eggs to them. They
are better layers and foragers than
sitters.

Robbers Blow Safe
In Highs Store, but
Fail to Get $4,000

When Miss Dora Gibbs cashier for
the ]. NJ High Company, went to the
safe in the office on the second floor
Tuesday morning, she was startled to
see a great pile of bedding on the
floor in front of the tall steel box
Then she noticed that the combina-
ton had been torn off, and q closer
inspection showed the door to have
been drilled and otherwise damaged.
The safe had been "blown"-nearly
But inside it, protected by special
lock, was $4,000 in money and $4,000
worth of jewelry and other valuables.
The money and the valuabes were
safe--so safe that the company itself
couldn't open the door. The special
burglar proof lock, patented device,
is made to spring as soon as any vio-
lent attempt is made on the door,
shooting great bolts across the inside
and holding the doors in place against
attacks by dynamite or even nitro
glycerine.
