Does It Pay
By E. A.
Not bo many years ago, even to
the present time, we and mnny other
farmers were deluged with literature
regarding the advantages to be de
rived from emigration to the "Golden
West." Promoters of land deals, im
migration agents, railway and Indus
trial commissioners, all contributed
Interesting data relating to their par
ticular section or field of action, until
It would seem to the average farmer
of the eastern or central States, or in
any section that had been long under
cultivation that a realization of his
highest ambition was to be found
west of the mighty Mississippi.
General farming as carried on In
onr own and the adjoining States,
was far from satisfactory. The land
which in the days of our parents had
yielded a competence, had greatly de
teriorated nnd its value correspond
ingly depreciated. After absorbing
a large amount of information re
garding the health and wealth to be
found In the fertile valleys of Hie
West, we became so thoroughly im
bued with the prospect of prosperity,
that wo disposed of our belongings'
at a great sacrifice and began our
Journey of discovery to find the ideal
spot in which to establish our new
home.
We had been especially attracted,
through correspondence, to ono of
the valleys In Colorado. The re
sources for irrigation were superior
to those of many other sections; the
climate was reputed to be, and doubt
less is, exceedingly healthful, whil9
the price of land was claimed to be
exceptionally reasonable. We had an
exceedingly Interesting drive to the
great head gates of the river and
Irrigation canal with the genial land
agent, who pointed out with much
pride the holdings of a great Eastern
real estate syndicate which bordered
the canal. In fact, this syndicate had
promoted the whole Irrigation sys
tem and was now offering the new
land for settlement. The "reason
able" prices of these acres were some
thing to wonder about, they being
from $200 to $300 and more per
tcre. The special inducement offered
,)o homeseekers all along the valleys
Df this and other States wns that
from five to ten acres of this valuable
land would yield a larger revenue.
When we demurred at the enormous
prices for land that had never been
broken by a plow, the answer Invari
ably was: "You must consider the
valuable plant food this land con
tains." 'When we noticed a fine field
of alfalfa at the ranch home of this
Kan, he at once attempted to ne
gotiate the Bale of four acres of this
field (all he could spare) at the "ex
tremely low price" of $1000, and this
three miles from the nearest town,
containing 700 inhabitants, not an
other town within many miles, and
.the public road half a mile from the
plot.
We were then driven to the farm
of a man who, with his wife, had
come from Vermont several years be
.fore. Both were far along in years,
and although the orchards and vines
bore luxuriantly, there was a look of
longing and homesickness In the care
worn faces when we spoke of "back
East." Then they told us that the
profits from the orchard fruits were
small on account of the excessive rail
.way rates and the almost total loss
.pi the vine., fruits in consequence of
the great distance to a market, .Said
the gray haired woman: "i' picked
. eighty gallons of the finest goose
berries you ever saw, yet nothing
'was gained." There was "no' sale
. tor therA In our little town,' a'hd It
would not pay. to ship them so many
miles to a large market. We used
'one gallon at home, the rest we had
to throw away." '
'This man had been a' practical
.farmer .among .-tjia Vermont hiUs. ., He
was far frpm Ijejng a poor man there,
but dissatisfaction with soil condi
tions and some 111 health had induced
him to' leave the old home and the
'ties of relations and friendship. ' In
'reply to some questions he said:
'"Yes, this 1s a rich soil; plant foods
are plentiful, but It will never be
home, and we are always looking
backward. Had I taken care of my
soil, and studied what was needed on
the old Vermont farm, I would be
, now. a prosperous man among my
s own kin to-day. Instead of owning
only these few acres, which bring me
so little, even though they produce
,so much."
i And so all along the Journey of
thousands of miles we found the main
conditions practically the same. , The
natural plant foods produced fair
crops, but no better than our well fed
soils of the East, and It Is seldom we
'experience the terrible hailstorms
which frequently devastate all of a
season's crops as we saw them do
there. Wherever we traveled we dis
covered some drawbacks to the per
fect realization of the dream In which
we had been led to Indulge. Far
greater problems confronted us in
the West than we had encountered
in the East, and without any further
'desire to lay the foundations of our
new home in the land of the Setting
: Sun, we turned our faces eastward
again. ,(
-.Brother farmers, the problem has
already been solved for ns by the
great chemical Industries of the
world. It is true we, or those be
- fore us, have taken from the soil
far more than we have put back.
This is against all reason. Farm
manures are not, and never will be,
sufficient for the bringing up of our
worn soils in the condition in which
the land is now, but the chemical
manures will as surely supply the
seed, It we use them as liberally as
to Go West ?
Summer, v
we should and with a proper rotation
of our crops. One of the strong ar
guments of the Western advertiser
is the soil content of potash, which
enables the Western farmer to grow
abundant crops of alfalfa; yet here
In the East, upon land once consid
ered worn out absolutely, I have seen
during the past few years as luxuriant
a growth of this valuable plant as I
ever saw in tho West, simply by the
application of generous quantities of
the element potash, combined with
the two other lndlspensablo plant
food elements, phosphoric acid and
nitrogen in lesser amounts. Both
potash and nitrogen are greatly lack
ing in many sections of our Eastern
States. Etperlments have proved
this: Let every man experiment for
himself and thus determine the needs
of his soil; apply the fertilizer needed
in sufficient quantities and he will bo
In a position to refute this story
about "abandoned Eastern farms, the
fertility of which la exhausted." If
the crops Ehow the need of potash,
supply it; if cither phosphoric acid
or nitrogen seem deficient these ns
well as tho Indirectly availablo ma
terials are easily obtained. Thore is
no necessity for leaving the great
markets and the familiar surround
ings, to obtain the supplies of a soil.

comic orEiu jails in Alaska.
The Sad Fnith of a Foolish Man Who
Tried to Escape.
Jails are not always deterrents of
crime. In Alaska they have often
induced it. If winter was coming on
and work was slack a man would
sometimes look with longing on a
warm cell and three square meals a
day. To enjoy these luxuries was
easy. He had only to buy a bottle of
whisky for a dollar or two, and sell
It to a native for five dollars. The
red man would get Crunk and be ar
raigned in court. On the judge's
promise of freedom he would tell who
sold him the liquor, and an hour later
the white man would begin a term of
four or five months in prison. This
crime did not involve loss of reputa
tion or social position.
Jail discipline was e'asy, with
enough work carrying coal or split
ting wood to give an appetite for
meals. Alaskans tell of one Jail
where the boarders were allowed to
come and go as they pleased. Tho
jailer was sure of their turning up
for meals and at be.dtlme. If a ship
was sighted making for the harbor
he would go into the street and say
to the first four or five men he met:
"Say, if you see 'Limpy' Johnson,
or 'Red' Smith, or 'Lebanon Charlie,'
or any of the boys, will you tell 'em
to report at once. There's a ship
coming in and she may have sons of
those pesky government o.'fltials on
board. Pass the word along, won't
you?"
Pretty soon "Limpy;" "Tied" and
the rest of the crowd would be In
their cells, to remain until the steam
er departed.
Once a prisoner, probably a new
comer in the country, so far forgot
his 6ense of honor as to run away. It
rains eight or nine days in the week
in Southeastern Alaska. After sev
eral days and nights without shelter,
sleep or food the wretch was glad to
drag himself back to the prison.
"Serves you right," said the jailer,
roughly, to the haggard fugitive.
"I've a good mind not to take you
back at all!"
A LESSON IN "SHOP TALK."
Why the Cattleman Dilated , so Particularly
About Steer Skinning.
It was at a dinner given by the
members of a certain English circuit
in honor of an eminent judge. . -The
legal element predominated, and the
conversation from the first ran in a
legal channel. Those among the com
pany who did not happen to be bar
risters or solicitors sat silent, listen
ing with vacuous smiles to the ex
change of learned opinion which was
being carried on round them. One
only among this dumb minority, says
H. O. Brown, in the "Conclusions
of an Everyday Woman," seemed Im
patient and ill at ease.
He was a big, Jolly, loosely-made
man, wearing clothes which some
how did not seem to set naturally on
him, the conventional dress suit ap
pearing less appropriate to his hand
some figure than would have been,
say, the loose shirt and riding
breeches of a cowboy or colonial
squatter. His cheeks were bronzed,
and his bright, clear glance spoke
eloquently of an outdoor life.
As the dinner advanced and the
conversation plunged deeper and
deeper still Into the profundities of
legal erudition, he became more and
more restless and perturbed. At last,
however, one of those lulls occurred
which may happen occasionally at
even a professional dinner, and it
was then that a resounding voice vi
brated through the room, causing the
learned brethren assembled there to
forget for an instant their profes
sional Imperturbability.
"Now I am going to tell you all,"
boomed the voice, "how we Bkln
steers down in Texas!"
All eyes were turned in the direc
tion of the perpetrator of this amaz
ing announcement, our friend, of
coarse, of the bright eyes and bronzed
cheeks who, nothing daunted by
their icy stares, proceeded to enlarge
upon the technique of bis business,
that of cattle-breeding, and continued

ROBINSON CRUSOE NOW
A FELLOW CITIZEN.
He Was Corn In Norway, Was a
Seafaring Man and Now Ha
Can Vote in Boston.'
'Judge Dodge, of the United States
District Court, was at his desk the
other day when William H. Fraser,
secretary of the Seamen's Union, and
tho Rev. George L. Small, of the Mar
iners' Home, came in, conducting a
weather beaten sailor, who wanted to
be naturalized, says the Boston Tran
script. The Bailor laid his paper be
fore the Judge, who glanced at the
name, then looked again and then
smiled.
"Do I understand that your name
Is Robinson Crusoe?" said he.
"Yes, sir; Robinson Crusoe."
Further questioning brought out
that he was born In Wnrdo, Norway,
forty-four yenr3 ago, and that he is
a mariner, engaged mostly in the
coastwise vessels on United States
shores. He first came to this country
In 1897, landing in New York on the
ship Jason, although not the Jason
of tho Golden Fleece expedition.
Crusoe did not know how he got his
name, as he hail it so long, but ho
was called Andorf In Norway. In
spector Moore asked him various
questions, to which he nnswored dif
fidently. He thought President
Roosevelt had been a farmer In the
country and that if he died "some
body" else would be President. The
Judge had to admit the correctness of
the reply, and Robinson Crusoe is
now a full fledged citizen of the
United States.
Gloom Spread by Book Agents,
"When I was a small boy, living In
Huntsvllle, Mo., an early day book
agent came up from St. Louis by
steamboat and flooded our country
with a harrowing volume entitled
'Agnes; the Key to Her Coffln.' Ev
erybody bought the thing and every
body wept over it," remarked a well
known resident of this city. "Its in
fluence descended upon the communi
ty like a nightmare. It reeked with
shrouds, funerals and graveyards.
For a long time 'The Key to Agnes'
Co!!ln' wns the sole diversion of cer
tain portions of the populace; they
seemed to take a pure and chastened
Joy in the awful weight of woe that
oozed out from between its lids, and
it made them feel better. There were
not mnny books in tho country in
those days, and this 6as;actous agent
had sized the community's taste up
about right. The book was supposed
to be very consoling to the distressed,
In that It told of worse troubles than
their own." Macon Republican.
Old Musket Buys a Spring.
The seventh generation of a family
which has done nothing since 17S3
because It owned a spring Is repre
sented In A. B. Rlcker, a guest at the
Fairmont, whose gveat-sreat-great-grandfather
traded an old musket for
Poland Springs, Me., in the year
1783. The spring has kept on flowing
and the family has been bottling it.
Rlcker has been looking around at
California's multitudinous springs
and says of them:
"The owners of theso places' are
to be envied. In time all of them will
be bottled and every drop of the prec
ious outflow will be shipped away to
the cities. A good spring is better
than any business, because you never
face failure, the money market does
not trouble you at all all you have
to do Is bottle It." San Francisco
Bulletin.
the dinner was entirely at an end.
These legal "Johnnies" might know
something about the law, but what
he did not know about cattle was not
worth knowing.
When the diners had arrived at
that comfortable, Informal period
where chairs are pushed back, the
eminent Judge who was the guest of
the evening turned to his neighbor
and said:
"I want you to Introduce to me that
young fellow who has JuBt Imparted
to us so much useful information
upon the subject of cattle-raising. I
should like to congratulate him upon
the reproof he has so tactfully admin
istered to us all.
"In future, at legal banquets, I
shall certainly do all in my power to
keep the table from talking 'shop,',
which Is dull enough In all conscience
when only lawyers are present; and
when there are outsiders who cannot
join in the discussion, it shows a lack
of good taste, besides."
So the man with the bright eyes
and bronzed cheeks became the hero
of the evening.

EXERCISE FOR THE LAYERS.
A Shelter nnd Scratching Shed at
Minimum Cost May Give Maxi
mum Service,
By T. Grelner.
The southeast corner of our bnrn
Is fixed up for a henhouse. It has
furnished comfortable quarters to
forty or forty-five large Langshan
fowls for some years. During the
winter and In inclement weather we
have let them go on the barn floor
to feed and scratch In litter provided
there for them. This was never satis
factory and not In harmony with good
order and cleanliness, although the
litter was renewed quite frequently.
Last year I made a complote change
of breed. 1 raised a, flock of Silver
Spangled Hamburgs. and had to find
shelter for about ono hundred birds,
consistln? of about seventy-five Ham
burg pullets, tho necessary number
of Hamburg roosters, and the balance
of Hamburg and Rhodo Island Red
CRpons. The henhouse in the corner
of the barn was perhaps large enough
to furnish perch room for that num
ber of small fowls, but there was not
much left to give them a chance for
exercise during the winter days.
It was rather cold on the barn
floor; besides, we did not want so
mnny fowls to befoul floor, hay, etc.,.
or get Into cow and horse stables. I
concluded to build a scratching shed
In the rear of the barn, in lean-to
fashion ngalnst the east side of the
barn and facing the south. The ac
companying, sketch will give the
reader some Idea of how It was done.
I did not care to spend much money
on the structure, but at the same
time I wanted it to be serviceable and
useful. I had some two by four
scantlings lying around and about
two hundred feet of ordinary one-inch
plank; also a lot of double thick

greenhouse glass and some tarred
paper. The boards on hand (hem
lock) were twelve feet in length, so
I concluded to make the shed twelve
by twelve feet. The north side is
.boarded up tightly. The east end Is
four feet high. The south side has
a door and two glass sections, the
glass being set In between the upright
boards, without frame, and held by
cleats. The middle rafters, which
give support to the oiled muslin for
the roof, are strips about an inch and
a half square, of which I also had a
quantity on hand, they being waste
from the mills. At first I used several
hotbed sashes for part of the roof.
They leaked a good deal, ' however,
in the rainy weather we had so often
last -winter, and finally I took them
down and replaced them with oiled
muslin. I bought the heaviest un
bleached muslin I could get, and after
sewing four breadths together, so as
to have the whole In one piece, I
soaked It In raw linseed oil, wringing
It out well afterward, and then
Btretched It over the rafters. The
floor is the ordinary earth floor, cov
ered with six Inches of cinders and
coal ashes, well smoothed over and
packed down.
This floor was kept covered nil the
time with dry litter, sometimes shav
ings, sometimes chaff or cut straw.
The grain rations were scattered over
this litter, and the hens had a good
time scratching in it all winter long.
Even now, when we have long or
heavy rains, the hens get their rations
there, and have a good time digging
and scratching. I paid nearly $5 for
the muslin and about $2.60 for lum
ber. The cost of the oil, nails, tar
paper, etc., ran the expense account
up to about $9. For this amount I
have the very best shelter during cold
and wet weather for a good sized
flock, with a floor space of, 144 square
feet. Here are kept the hoppers con
taining grit, oyster shell and beef
scrap. The window In the east end
of the roosting and laying room and
between it and the shed is taken out
and ' replaced by a muslin curtain.
Notes of the Poultry Yard. ,
The man who said "the best poul
trymen on most farms are women"
knew what he was talking about.
Eggs brought forty-five to sixty
cents per dozen in tne big city mar
kets all winter. You can get these
prices, buyer to pay express charges,
if you go about it right.
In Chicago, companies with big
names sell eggs stamped "Guaranteed

Laid," and so on, but most of them
This affords additional ventilation for
the room where our fowls have to
pass the night. Later on, when our
young stock get too large to remain
In the coops and brooders, they will
be given temporary shelter under this
shed or tent, where they can pass tho
night In safety until room Is made
for them In the regular henhouse or
until they are otherwise disposed of,
Altogether, I am well pleased with
this cheap structure. We get good
returns In health of fowls and In eggs.
It Is a good many years since we had
as good a supply of eggs, from the
same number of birds, as we had this
last winter and as we are having at
the present time. Tribune Farmer.
Getting Experience.
Poultry farming, of all other
branches of agriculture, has suffered
by the fact of so many people think
ing it quite an easy thing to tend
fowls. So It is, and there is good
money being made at it, too, if one
only knows the way.
Professor Gilbert, of the Ottawa
College, Canada, on the subject of In
experience relates the following:
"When addressing an institution, a
young man of more than average In
telligence rose and stated that he
was a clerk in a broker's office, but
had decided to go Into poultry; would
I kindly tell him how mnny hens It
would be necessary for him .to keep,
and what would be the least capital
required to Insure him an Income of
$500 or $60't) a year? I replied:
'Young man, have you ever been in
the drug business?' He said that he
had not. 'Then,' said I, 'take my ad
vice and try that business first.'
"I recommended drugs because the
law requires him to serve apprentice
ship before he can start In business,
while In the chicken business there is
no such requirement. The result Is
It Is seldom we hear of a druggist
falling, and seldom we see such a
man when he starts In the poultry
business, make It a success, because
fully ninety per cent, of such poultry
men have served no apprenticeship.
They prefer to buy the experience.
Well, It can be purchased, but It
comes high, and I think the success
ful poultry Instructor of to-day Is ac
tually doing better work In keeping
the fool and his money from parting
than he is in urging men to start In
the Industry, although, as I have said
time and again, there is no better
paying branch of agriculture to-day
than that of poultry when In the
hands of competent people."
roultry Pays Better.
It Is a quite common remark among
farmers that the poultry on the farm
pays better than anything else.
Prices of poultry products in Canada
are not very high; yet, according to
the Canadian census, one dollar in
vested in poultry yielded two dollars,
while the general average of Invest
ments in farm crops and animals was
twenty cents return on one dollar In
vested,, Every little Item of labor
saving counts In handling the poul
try specialty nowhere more so than
on the farm, when one hundred to
five hundred chickens must be han
dled during a busy season. After
bothering foe several years moving
small coops here and there, and lift
ing the chickens or fowls three or
four at a time, one poultryman finds
it much easier to load the coops upon
a wheelbarrow. For moving chick
ens and hens, a common shipping

Do You Drink It?
A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee, and her experience Is In
teresting. She says:
"During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty, i
became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that I should want a good,
hot cup of coffee about that time. It
stimulated me and I could keep
awake better.
"After three or four years of coffee
drinking I became a nervous wreck,
and thought that I simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
"After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee, for he
feared that it had already hurt me al
most beyond repair, so I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
"I began taking Postum and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the stimulant,
but I liked the taste of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev
erage all right.
"Finally I began to feel clearer
headed and had steadier nerves. At-,
ter a year's use of Postum I now feel
like a new woman have not had any
