caused to dream of the day when he
would make his fortune by some
lucky strike.
There had once been rumors Of
gold in those hills, but nobody had
ever found any. Day by day the old
fellow would set out hopefully with
his assaying pan, and every evening
he would return with his hopeful
stories, which so Jared his daughter
in-Iaw's shattered nerves. Edwin
Ross looked on hopelessly. He knew
that their future was obscure, a doz-

en- times there had entered his mind
the sinister temptation to make an
end of himself, and still he toiled dog
gedly, trying to raise that first crop
which was to pay the mortgage on
the little place.
It was a day later that the storm
broke. Old Jim Ross had come back,
late for supper, with the usual story.

well, seeing as we've got your ia
ther now we can't exactly turn him
out into the DESERT" said little Mrs.
Ross, pursuing her lips. There was a
stubborn set to her features which
Edwin Ross knew from of old.
''But we had to take the old man,
Bessie" argued her husband. 1--WE
couldn't let the old man go to the
poorhouse.
He'd have been a sight better off
there than incoming round the shack
at go" answered his wife.
Ross sighed. He knew his wife
was not naturally hard, and yet of
late her antipathy toward his father
had been growing more pronounced.
She had, as a matter of fact, warmly
seconded his proposal that when they
pulled up stakes the old man should
accompany them.
At Is Edwin Ross, year married,
had suggested to Bessie that they
should quit their life of hardship in
the western city and try their fortune
in the newly-irrigated lands of Ne
vada. They had been lured by an
INSCRIPTIONS land agent Fabulous
crops, he told them, could be raised
there. They moved, with their little
capital of $780, And their disil-
lusionment began as soon as they got
out of the train and stared about
them at the barren land.
Irrigated it was, after a sort, but
the agent had said nothing of the
heartbreaking spade work that was
needed to bring the dam water
through the conduits and into the
desert soil. The labor, to town dwell
ers, was terrific And during the six
months that had passed Bessie had
been changing.

Friendship

Some never get sentimental
And show all The world how they
feel,
Somehow they just bottle emotion.
Till it seems they're made of steel
They can even sever friendshep
That has come down with the years,
With a smile and shrug of the shout
der,
With never limiting of tears.
But I'm never ashamed to admit it.
For leaving friend makes me sad.
And finding new ones a pleasure,
To succeed the one that had.

TO sTRAIGHTEN YOUNG TREES
Some Plan Should Be Adopted to Sup
port Trees Until They Have De-
veloped Root System.

Certain varieties Of fruit and shade
trees are said never to be straight Of
trunk at. the time of being brought
from the nursery; SO, instead of be-
wailing the crookedness Of trees,
means should be employed for straight
ening them.
But whether trees are crooked or
not, some of the plans herewith pre-
scented should be employed for the pur-
pose of supporting young trees till
they have developed q root system
that will hold them up straight, says
a writer in Successful Farming. Not
only does this bracing hold the trees
in proper form and position for rapid
growth, but where the wind weaves
the trees around, they quickly wear
large opening, at the point where they
enter the ground, 30 that the action OF
the sun and wind have a most detri-
mental effect on the roots, drying them
out and retarding normal development
of the trees.
Figure 1 shows a simple and easily
formed support for young tree, or for
Strengthening one in case 1t leans or
crooks. If the curvature is very pro-

WAY OF SPREADING DISEASE
Water Pans in Henhouses Should Be
Cleaned Every Day-FIat Wash
Basin Easily Cleaned.

How often do you clean up the wa
ter pans in your henhouses? You
ought to clean them every day. For
dirty water pan is the surest way
of spreading disease throughout your
flock.
The best way of handling water in
the poultry house is to keep it in a
cheap, fiat wash basin that can be
easily cleaned and refilled. 1t doesn't
pay to bother with patent water tanks.
You will have to fill them just as
often as the basins, and they are hard
er to clean up.
Place the open basin on box some
eight or ten inches high and perhaps
eighteen inches square, and make a
runway for this. This keeps 1t from
filling up with dirt and straw from the
floor, and the hens do not climb into
1t in drinking.
Then put the box and basin in a
sunny corner of the house away from
the roosts and nests, so that no dirt
can fall into it from above.
Clean it and refill with clean, fresh
water every day and you will have
put the disease germs to flight indefi-
nitely.-Wisconsin Station.
