DAIRYING FOR PROFIT

BY bringing to Camas Prairie
choice herd of dairy cattle, Spence
& Wood are taking pioneer step
that will be watched with interes
by many ranchers and business mel
in Idaho county.
Wisconsin, dairying state, die
not feel so much of the late financial
depression as did other parts of the
country, and it is declared that dairy.
ing, with a constant inflow of money
for dairy products, was responsible
for the healthful economic condition
of that state. '~
Camas Prairie is natural dairy
ing country, and through determined
application in development of this in
dustry. highly satisfactory dividends
will ensue.
Located far from a market for our
bulky products, and with high freight
rates which are charged to the pro-
Queer on outgoing shipments, the pro-
Queer of butter and cream cannot
help but profit from the concentrated
form in which his product goes to
market. And dairy products always
command a fair price. o'-'' 'f
The COW and the hog and the hen
on our farms will mean the upbuild-
ing of Camas Prairie If our vast
wheat ranches were cut into smaller
farms, we would have more pros
Porous country, not through wheat
alone. but by reason of diversified
farming.
Messrs. Spencer and Wood have
brought to the prairie real dairy
stock, and not scrubs. They will ul-
timately be in position to supply
other ranchers with good dairy stock, :
and If their enterprise pays them
WELL which it surely will through I
strict attention to business, their n
neighbors will follow in their foot +
steps. When dairying and other q
forms of diversified farming are de- f
veloped on the prairie, our farmers
will profit and our towns will be
more prosperous. Every day will be

year, as prevails in strictly wheat

Jolly little man did appear all the

heaved a deep breath Of relief, for
there Is no mother or father In all the
world that would not feel even more
disappointed than their children II
Santa failed to come at Christmsa
time.
OF course, it was not Santa's fault
that he was late that Christmas-it
was all due to his RENDERS. He had
been a bit impatient with them that
day, but his Impotence was all caused
BY the amount Of work that lay before
him and because Of his eagerness to
ret to the children. But the RENDERS
did not stop to think about this; in
stead, they planned to play a trick
On Santa Claus to get even with him
for Gliding them. 30, when they
started out to make their trip around
the world, they whispered among
themselves while Santa sat dosing In
the sleigh. He had given them in
ptructions to wake him at the very
arst stopping place on the list. But,
Instead Of doing az they were told and
keeping close to earth, the reindeers
thought 1t would be great joke on
Santa Claus II they scared upward to
the nearest planet instead. SO upward
they plunged, as fast as their flying
teet could carry them. and they had
nearly reached that far-off planet when
Santa woke up with start. Seeing
the trick that had been played on him
he became very angry and told them
how much unhappiness the little chill
dren would suffer If their plans had
carried, he thep ordered them to make
for earth as quickly as possible, telling
them that there might yet be time to
distribute all the gifts. They were
very frightened now at the thing they
had done and their hearts were full Of
sorrow lest they should be late with
their gifts, so they put on all speed
that 1t was possible for them to do and
spun dizzily through the air.
They made the trip to earth In rec
ord time and not little boy or girl
was missed as they went swiftly from
house to house, nor did any Of them
know how nearly they came to having
no Christmas at all, because Of the
trick which the RENDERS tried to play
ON Santa Claus.

or spruce. Or, perhaps, II one lives
far from the haunts Of the whispering
pines, purchase a fragrant tree from
some rudy, arm-waving merchant on
nearby street corner. Not until
tree is in place does the family get
enthusiastic over Christmas.
II change is desired in the usual
array Of ornaments gorgeous, to be
sure, but whose ensemble causes
weird color harmonies-why not
change and try one or two color eff
feet? A red and green tree is brilliant,
and because it Is bit different Is one
which you will be sure to like. The
most attractive trimming for this tree
is made from red immortelles (dried
life-everlasting flowers dyed red).
Purchase these from the florist. They
come In large punches which cost be-
tween Is and so cents q bunch. Six
punches will be ample for a medium
tree. You can purchase cut wires from
the same dealer. Ask him to show you
how to "stem" them. He will show
you how to make the small punches
he makes when making designs"
those relics Of the past that are still
popular.
When you have your punches COM
pleted all that will be necessary Will
be to attach each tiny bunch to the
terminal end Of a branch. Thus you
will have a beautiful green spruce
laden with small touches of brilliant
red. The effect Is truly Christmasy
and very attractive. You can get much
the same effect by using only small
red balls. Instead Of stringlng them
on strings try separating them. Have
each ball by itself.
And for an entirely different ef-
feet use a suggestion Of the great out
doors. This tree is charming and
costs very little. Select a tapering
tree of spruce or pine. After it is in
position wrap the base with white cot
ton. Then take small pieces Of cotton
and tie them all over the branches,
and along the inner portion OF the
larger branches; close to the main stem
of the tree, place irregular pieces OF
the cotton. Thus you will, when nm
ished, have realistic snow-laden tree
very cold and silvery. But not to
be lighted by candles. There Is dam
ger of the cotton taking fire.

They used lights to signify the light
ming; apples, nuts and balls to signify

of animals to denote the animal sacri-
fees which were made to their gods.

A CHRISTMAS RESOLVE

y HRISTMAS is especially a
~ children's day, and one of the
things which a proper Christmas
attitude should bring about is
firm resolve on the part OF each
mother to learn what is best for
her child, and do Il irrespective
of the child's whim or desires,
This not only is true of gifts
which the child receives at
Christmas, but of its food and
raiment, its sleeping room and
its playroom. All Of these
should be as carefully guarded
as the traditions on which the
Christmas celebration is founded.
