through which the water rushes
in a torrent. At this time the
water was running over the road
and part ot the road was washed
away on the lower side. Two
mules were to a wagon and one
shied from ihe lower side and
caused the other to jump too far
up, and the water sucking
through the culvert pulled the
mule into the mouth of the culvert
where it drowned and remained
until next day. The
current was so strong that nothing
could he done to rescue the
mule and it was with difficulty

PROTECT THE LATE HATCHES
Chicks Are Special Prey of Rats,
Weasels and Hawks Unless Proper
Precautions Are Taken.
Late-hatched chicks often become
'he special proy of rats, weasels and
ha^-ks unless nroner n^ecautious are
taken to avoid losses from this
source. Theso enemies seem worso
in late summer than early in tho season.
In tho case of rats, this is accounted
for by the fact that as soon
as hot weather arrives many of them
desert their hot Quarters around tho
burns and sheds and take to tho old
board and rail piles, as well as to tho
patches of thick weeds and grass.
Here they lurk, ready to pounce upon
unsuspecting chicks.
As to preventive measures: first,
nil harbors near tho chicks' rons
should be banished and tho rodents
destroyed before they have had timo
to do any harm. Until this is dona
tho best preventive measure is the
free use of wire'netting ubout the
coops, such as screening ventilation
holes, providing screen doors.
must it be forgotten thnt rodents
burrow, hence when these enemies
are present floors In the coops or?
necessary If losses would bo avoided.
It is when chicks run In on open
field that hawks and crows do the
most mischief. When there are trees
or shrubbery in the yards, with a
few convenient shelters of boards or
boxes under which the chicks can
speedily seek protection when a bird
of prey swoops down, tho losses will,
not be great. When n vk or crow
gets the bablt of visit :i.g to. poultry
yard regularly, however, as s .no of
these birds often do, the only teinedy
Is to take the necessary time to exterminate
It by tho gun route.
REGARDING DUCKS AND GEESE
Lattsr Will Practically Take Care of
Themselves if Given Free Rango
of the Farm.
Never feed duek? without first providing?
plenty of fresh, clean water, as
the birds always take a sip of water
after each mouthful of food.
Ducks will often choke themselves
on dry food unless wator Is right at
hand, s
A chicken will pick up the grit It
needs, hut a duck will not, therefore
It must be provided for them In their
food.
Young geese are ready for market
when the tips of their wings reach the
lull, or In about ten or twelve weeks.

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Ageifty on the Farm?The Press, '
Pulpit and School a Trinity of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
# Agriculture.
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers' Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life Is needed in
thiB state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront The
city problems are blazoned upon the
_front pages of the metropolitan dallies
and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes obBcuros
the substaucc. A searching investigation
into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent defects
in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly understood
and illuminated by the power
of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful influences
that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
.'occupy a commanding position in publlic
ail'airs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural, community
and only await the patronage and cooperation
of the farmers to fully develop
their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best Interests of their respectlvo
coThmunitles. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should!
subscribe for the local paper, as well,
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
Is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmer's problems.
It is tho local press that will
study the local problems and through
Its columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life of the
community.
I
A Noble Task.
In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by giving
prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for usefulness.
It cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frailties,
the mishaps and Inordinate ambitions
of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the struggles
of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
. It has a higher and nobler task.
Too often tho pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict sear tho tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the pathway
to destruction. The rural press
Is the governing power of public sentiment
and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep t.ie ship of state
in the roadstead of progress. The
rurnl press can best servo the interests
of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solut'on of problems
effecting the local community. It
toiust stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before It a thousand
boys and girls per day. It has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach efficiency
and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the public
the dally problems of tho farmers
and giving first attention to tho legislative,
co operativo, educational and
KOflnl nPP/1 c f\f tllo uorrlnnlfitrnl
... ? V"V (tgiitUibUiai V1UODC9
within Its respective community.
The Power of Advertising.
The influence of advertising is clearly
visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising columns
of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
aro best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the luxuries
of life. We need more art, science
and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
aro well balanced in this respect, but
tlio advertiser can render a service
by teaching the art vantages of modern
equipmont throughout the columns of
the rural pr*.,..
The farmers are'ln need of personal
leadership. T. ey liavo political leaders,
but they need local industrial
community and educational leaders.
