THE DECREASE IN DEATH RATE

Recently announced figures from
the 1915 census show a big fall in
death rate. For the whole country
these figures show 1875 per thousand.
Fifteen years ago the rate was 1862.
The American people are growing
healthier.
Better knowledge of sanitation,
better physical development, advance
of medical science, account for this
change. There are great many peo-
pie who instead of dosing themselves
with drugs as formerly, get out and
exercise. More people work and
sleep with their windows open. There
is less horror of fresh air.
No doubt the present rate can be
still further lowered. 1t is up to
everyone to cooperate with ply
sicians and boards of health in re-
moving all known causes of disease.
Premature death is one of the great
causes of poverty. Every time a
wage Garner is taken away before his
time, some one is thrown on charity.

HOW TO DRAW TOURISTS.

Portland Oregonian: BY joining
in the general movement of the Pa
cific northwest to attract tourist trav'
ell to this section of the west, Oregon
hotel men show themselves alive moi
only to their own interests but tc
those of the whole state, which are
identical with those of adjoining
states. When people come here for
pleasure they are apt to return as per
manent residents or to seize oppor-
tunities for investment. Their pleas
ure tours, while source of profit to
the state, often serve only as an in
PRODUCTION, which results in their en-
listment in the business and develop
ment of the state.
As an inducement for tourists, one,
two or three attractions are not suffi-
cient, for they do not make a tour.
No person will travel 5000 miles to
spend a day in seeing the Columbia
River Highway alone, or Mount Hood
alone, or Crater Lake alone. But
these attractions, in connection with
series of others strung through
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Brit
ish Columbia, will draw travel, pro-
vided that facilities exist for travel
ing to and seeing them in comfort.
Tourists in Europe do not go to see
the Matterhorn alone; they go to see
the Tyrol. They do not go to see
Mount st. Bernard alone; they go to
see all of Switzerland. They do not
go merely to see Heidelberg; they
make the tour of the Rhine.
From Yellowstone park to the Pa
cific ocean there is series of natural
wonders surprising anything in the
Old World. That we may induce peo-
pie to visit them it is necessary that
we make them accessible with good
roads and modern vehicles, and that
we make life at them enjoyable with
good hotels, and then that we make
them known as parts of single tour.
Pleasure-seekers will come to see all
of them who would not come to see
any one of them alone.

I'D RATHER BE A GUIDE-POST.


I'd rather be a guide-pOst, direct
ing humanity along the pathway that
leads to a bigger and better future,
than a tombstone, depicting relic
Of the times and things that were.
I'd rather have living, breathing
knowledge of being useful unit in
humanity's scheme, than to have
people murmur vainglorious praise
over my deaf and mouldering clay
I'd rather have a few of the COM
mon flowers of earth offered me by
some one had helped over thorny
hedge and through trying moment;
some one to whom ! had proven a
harbor of refuge in time Of stress,
than to have garlands of sweetest
roses banked against my mound when
life is done.
I'd rather eat the crust of poverty
in peace and quietude, knowing 1t
had been earned by the sweat Of hon
est toll, than to absorb the rich foods
of an effulgent nature, gathered by
the struggling many and moistened
with the tears and sighs and means
OF sorrowing world.
I'd rather be a guide-post, plain
and weatherbeatcn, but Of use to all
who journey along life's lonely high
way, than to be tombstone, carved
from choicest marble, erected in
secluded spot of the silent city of the
dead.
I'd rather see fellow-creatures
face light up with joy and gladness
at some kind deed ! had done, than
to have the word Of sympathy uttered
to those left behind when the sound
of crunching wheels is heard out
front and the plumed chariot rolls
slowly along the road toward the
green spot on the hill.
I'd rather feel the warm clasp of
friendly hand; hear the whispered
thanks of risen brother; see the
sunshine of love banishing the dark
clouds Of sorrow and strife and re-
morse, than to be the possessor of
earth's greatest riches, envied, hated
and ostracised by all, cursed with a
consuming loneliness and abandoned
to the engulfing silence of the privy
chamber.
I'd rather be a guide-post than a
tombstone. And so had YOU!

up and around the hillside and came

Just then Trailer seized him by the
ham, and as the bear turned to strike
he held on a little too long and he
got lick on him which sent hiM
rolling down the hill. Before he
could recover himself the bear made a
dive to grabb him, but / shot again
and hit him in the thick part of the

reared straight back and fell with all
heels up, but struggled to his feet

fore Trailer could get to him / gave
him another, and over he went and
came rolling down the hill, with
Trailer trying to hang on. He was
dead as dead could be. He gave
Trailer a mark on his hip that he
carried all his life, and can be seen
in his picture that l have here at

Well, the fight was over and the
job was to get him in, which had to
be done by skinning him and cutting
him up. This spoiled the biggest part
of the day, but we got him in Just

PROFITABLE WAYS OF
MARKETING DAIRY
PRODUCTS

There are many different kinds
Of salable products that can be
made from cows milk, but we
will consider cream marketing,
which is the most important to
the farmers.
The most successful and econo-
1nical way of marketing dairy pro-
ducts is in the form of cream.
This is especially true where
lscme butter making is handicapp-
SA.by climatic conditions and lack
Of experience.
1t is possible sometimes to get
Fegular customers for sweet
cream at real good prices, but a
market Of this kind is limited and
is not generally available to the
two and three cow farmer. 1t
is better, therefore, for him to
send his cream, two or,thfse times

PLOW

Plow deep while sluggards sleep
was good advice in Poor Rich
ards time.
In Ben Hill other counsel is
due. By blowing around field
year after year the same way
hollow in the middle and a ridge
at the edges show how the work
was done. The soil is turned
into a ditch or to the fence. Rank
wild growth i'll these ridges show
where the good soil is.
These thrifty weeds wink at
each other and laugh at the farm
er as he rolls his best soil to them.
But the thrifty farmer has no
weeds in or about his fields. BY
such inept blowing one-6fth of
the plant-food is destroyed.
On upland the surface should
be level The back furrow meth
cd is an easy remedy, but the back
throw IS a stronger in some parts
OF the wiregrass region. Begin
a few feet from the edge Of the
field and turn the furrow in.
Make this land wider on one side
than the other so that the middle
furroW will not come in the same
place year after year. Thus no
holl@S; no ridge; weeds easier
destroyed rainfall better adjust
ed; less danger OF flood or wash
in wet season, and in dry season
retained in soil, improved crop
and soil. S.

per week, to the creamery.

=
Selling cream is much better
than making butter at home, be-
cause it requires much less work.
A higher price is generally paid
by the creamery than can be got
ten for the homemade butter. A
more uniform grade of butter can
be made by the creamery and will
therefore find a ready market,
which affords the farmer a ready
and constant outlet for his prod
uCt.
1t is best to send rich cream
to the creamery, for rich cream
will not sour as quickly as thin
cream, and there is less bulk to
the thick cream, which requires
fewer cans, less weight in haul
ing, and is in better shape to
handle. The thicker your cream
the more milk you will have left
for your calves and pigs.

During his last sickness, the
first time be had any minutes of
clearness of mind, he expressed a
desire for a minister, and one of
the pastors Of the city was called.
He was found ready and anxious
to commit his life to God, after
the best instruction the minister
could give him, and prayer for
him, it was touching indeed to
hear him cry out, Jesus is my
Saviour" He confessed the
wickedness of his life, and his
strong desire to turn from it to
Christ. He was also anxious for

made to this son to turn from sin,

money, and it is up to the farmer
to keep his cream clean and cool,
50 that it can be made into good
butter that will demand the high
est prices, which, will mean to the
farmer the best price for the
cream as well.
There is generally one-third to
one-half pound of butter-fat in a
gallon Of milk, and one-fourth to
three and one-fourth pounds in
each gallon of cream, depending
on its richness. A pound of but
ter-tat will make a pound and
one-siXth of finished butter. The
creamery generally pays the mar
ket butter price for the butter-fat
and depends on the one-sixth
over run for his profit.
Wherever a successful cream
cry is in operation, there will al
way be found a prosperous com
munity, because there are always
plenty of COWS to consume the
farm crops and thus keep all the
fertility of the soil at home. The
land grows richer every year and
the farmer prospers with it. He
always has ready money and can
