An Ode To a Friend

Friend O. mine of not long ago,
You who have cheered and loved
me so;
You have helped me to hold the rein
When my soul was racked with pain
Kindred spirits at times trow,
The retrospect seems pleasant now.
In sweet memory / hold thee fast,
Minnie Cook.

PLANE NOT BADLY DAMAGED
A. w. Lawson Of Milwaukee, Inventor
OF Giant Machine, Says Field in
East Was Too Soft For Land
inQ-Will Continue ! rtp.

Milwaukee, Sept. "a. L. Lawson,
inventor of the Lawson Air Liner"
huge 26-passenger transcontinentai
airplane, which flew during the last
few days total of 1 ,165 miles In TOT
minutes between Milwaukee and Syr-
acuse, N. Y, via Chicago and Buffalo,
arrived here for brief conference
with directors of the Lawson Air Line
Transportation company, of which he
is president, and later returned to
Syracuse, where the plane is now I'M
dergOing minor repairs prior to resum-
ing its trip to New York city. The ma
chine was slightly damaged while
alighting on Thursday ut Syracuse.
The field where the ship landed was
sOggy and the wheels of the plane be-
came embedded in the mire, causing 1t
to tilt forward on its nose. The front
of the cabin, which is constructed Of
several layers of lightweight panels,
was slightly damaged, according to
Mr.. Lawson. He also said the glass In
the pilots window was broken and the
pneumatic tires on the wheels blown
out. No one was injured. Mr.. Lawson
said he had planned to fly directly
from Buffalo to New York, but the
Chamber of Commerce at Syracuse in
duced him to land there. Syracuse
business men had promised to provide
him with proper landing place, he
said, but the field proved to be too
muddy and marshy. Mr.. Lawson de-
clared that no attempt would be made
to establish speed record during the
present trip. After few days in New
York flight will be made to Wash
ington, d. c., and thence to San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Lawson said that en- route
to Syracuse the big plane was inspect
ed by thousands of people and that
everywhere the crowds invariably re-
ferred to 1t as that big Milwaukee
airplane."

CONTROL SHEEP-KlLLING DOG
Secretary of Agriculture Asks Twenty
Governors to Urge Laws Pro-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The enactment Of more adequate
state laws to control sh%eep-killing
dogs is urged by Secretary Houston in
a letter just sent to the governors of
20 states. The secretary points out
that, although there has been a graft
flying increase in the number of sheep
in the United States in the past year,
there is room for further expansion Of
the industry. Farmers, he says, are
discouraged in many instances from
keeping sheep on account of the dam
ger of damage by dogs. The letters
were sent to the governors of Arkan-
sas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mary
land, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Okla
homa. South Carolina, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
where state legislatures r now in
session. Following is the letter:
II understand that many states now
have under consideration the matter Of
legislation to encourage the larger de-
velopment Of the sheep Industry by re-
moving n controlling the dog menace
During the past year, as you perhaps
know, there has been a gratifying in
crease in the number of sheep in the
United States. There is undoubtedly
room in many sections of the country
for further expansion along this line,
especially in the settled farming reas.
The field representatives of this de-
partment, however, generally report
that farmers are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on ac-
count Of the danger Of damage by
dogs.

BIC POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, BUT
There Were Even Larger Crops
in the Neighborhood-Live
Stock Men Prosper.

As a by-product the yield of potatoes
on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat of a pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is in the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is a place. pictured in the
mind Of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival, and
when he wants to put a little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down a few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat a
rather unenviable place on the map.
But it isn't half as bad as it is pic
tured. Anyway, Ben Pawson likes 1t.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els Of potatoes on two acres of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call it.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because of the damp mornings
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield vas six hum
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for 1885. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this in
the neighborhood.
If one might speak of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak of POI
tatOes, there is nothing in the ethics
Of literature that would create a de-.
barment. Taking advantage of this
license it will not be out of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having a good deal OF
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $500 mark on the Calgary market.
It doesn't cost much to raise a hog
and very little to bring him to a weight
Of 200 pounds. Don't cost much! Ger
tainly not. But what about the mar who
recently paid $3.50 for a Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what a great many other farmers
IN Western Canada arc doing today.
He is acting on the old "saw," that
ssit costs no more to raise a good crit
ter than a poor one" That is the rea-
son that Western Canada is looming
large in the live stock world. The best
is none too good. The same may be
said Of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep,
too. The very best sires and dams
Of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid, it is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock at
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.-Adyertise-
ment.

Now He Wakes Up.

Jake had always been a most diff
cult fellow to arouse from his slum-
bers and persisted in not hearing the
reveille. Finally the captain ordered
him to be brought in to him. When
Jake appeared the captain inquired
how many times he had had to be
called that morning. Jake replied
evasively by saying he didn't know.
The captain studied a few moments,
then took a sheet of paper and drew a
small circle on it. After fastening the
paper to the wall he turned to Jake
and said: Take a position with your
face to the wall and the end Of your
nose in that circle and remain until
you are ordered to move"
Poor Jake stood until almost noon
staring into the wall and needless to
say he never failed to respond to the
reveille afterward.
