We mean It 50c HOPEVILJTS BOOM Town Failed to Get the Railroad, but Prosperity Came An oiner way. By GEORGE ELMER COBB. "We've missed it! We're nothing but a way-back settlement now." .Thus Jared Bross. of the board of trustees of the neat, picturesque, but isolated town of Hopeville. "You mean the railroad has missed us," corrected Phillip Dawes, president of this same board of trustees. "Well, gentlemen, that shall not prevent Hopeville continuing to do itself proud, 1 trust, as a model village without a blemish." Very proud of the community he had helped build up was Phillip Dawes, and he spoke with enthusiasm. He had always predicted great things in store for Hopeville. Never a village of fairer location and environment. A rare trout stream bounded one of its limits, a dream of a lake bounded another. There were hills, dales and lovely undulating meadows, a thrifty farming community surrounding, and the town people ideal, morally, socially and as to their municipal harmony. "Some day Hopeville will forge to the front," was his optimistic slogan -i-"Bome day values will go up, and each man come into his own." When the new railroad was talked of, old residents began to boost their acres and town lots as to values. Enormous fortunes were figured out. In fancy they saw a busy traffic, crowds of summer visitors, picnickers from the city, scattered fnrm trade centered at the new shipping " * ~~ 1 "Trying to Get a Railroad Into Hopevllle?" point. Hopes rose high, then they were correspondingly depressed, for the railroad made a detour, and Byron, quite a busy little city eight miles distant, was made the terminus of the new branch line railway. "Wish I'd settled there as 1 Intended to ten years ago!" grumbled disloyal and disagreeable Jared Hro6S. "There's some go to Byron. I don't care if they do encourage a riff-raff crowd?stir and sensation bring In the dollars, don't they?" "But we don't want the dollars that way," insisted Dawes. "We go in for schools, and rational amusements, and clean, healthy children. Do you ever find any riotous crowds in Hopeville? No, sir!" Dross had a strong personal reason for being disgruntled with Hopeville. He was a man of some means and his son, Bradley, had married a poor humble girl. The old man had railed at the secret match, and had promptly discarded his disobedient son. Nellie Horton, whom Bradley had married, was an orphan, but her parents had left her a small farm just out of. town. There the wedded pair settled down. It was a poor place, however, situated near a sterile ravine, soil not fertile, and affording a bare living "That boy will rue the day he disregarded my advise!" the elder Bross had said one day to Dawes. N "Oh, nonsense!" retorted his neighbor, "Bradley Is a good boy. The poor young pair, have hard scratching, perhaps, but they're happy and contented as two birds in a nest." "Humph!" commented the ironhearted father, and went his way sullen and unlovely. So Byron got the railroad and what went with It, both good and bad There was a good deal of grumbling in Hopevllle, and in a measure Phillip Dawes looked upon as a disappointing founder and builder. The pride and ambition of the old man were touched. Then he began to plan to retain his prestige Neighbors noticed that he went to a city fifty miles distant a great donl. Also, that he brought distinguished-looking business men back with him. whom he showed all over the district. "Trying to get a railroad Into Hopevllle?" Insinuated Dross, somewhat sneerlngly. |- "Not at all," retorted Dawes, with an enigmatical smile. "We don't want one?why, I intend to explain to you weak sister growlere at the nnuual." The "annual" was a time honored institution of Hopevllle, and now again close ai hand. Every year Phillip Dawes had insisted that tho representative residents of the place meet at the town hall to celebrate the founding of the village. Speeches, congratulations, suggestions for civic Improvements comprised the features of the program. Then a banquet. Dawes was always the chairman of the functions, and so felicitous was his handling of the various toasts proposed, that he had won the title of "The Cheer Master." They could hear the distant echo of an engine whistle across the valley as they sat in the town hall on the present occasion. It reminded some of the sore ones of their disappoint- ' ment. Dawes, however, was in great j fettle that evening, and when the | banquet board was reached his buoyant, optimistic air communicated itself to others. They never had anything stronger than clear, sparkling water at these celebration functions. They had noth ii6 ouuu6d, uccuuso in me nrai i place no one seemed to want It, and furthermore the big artesian well that supplied the town ranked third in the state as to purity of outrush. so. as p matter of local loyalty, the i toasts vere drunk in aqua pura. "F^/?<eville?her splendid past and tier glorious future," was tho toast read. "Humph!" grumbled Rross, "I think Dawes will have to take a back seat j this time." But Phillip Dawfis arose, looking brighter and prouder than he had ever seemed. He took no back water on the buoyant predictions of past years. He looked quite dazzled as he spoke of the golden stream of good fortune now knocking at their doors. ! And then they drank tho toast. And then most everybody made a grimace, set down tho unfinished libation, and looked queer. "Something the matter with the water. friends?" smiled Dawes. "That's the merit of it. It is Hopevllle water, ( though not from the home well. Gen- j tlcmen. you have diank of the soon- ! to-be-celebrated Llthia-Magnesium ; water, specially pre tented to you to introduce the last requirement this beautiful district needed to make it famous." "Say, what are you driving at, anyhow?" inquired Bross bluntly. "Just this," explained Dawes. "I reasoned from the first that the new railroad would open up a popular outing resort somewhere along its line, i The noisy railroad has spoiled Byron. \ Besides, they have no such magnifi- j cent scenery as Hopeville, nor a lake, nor a trout stream, nor the model lunu. n^aii'i lourisis use lO T1UO from terminus in a stage?think they're diving into the primeval wilderness. Well, gentlemen, for two j months I have been negotiating with wealthy in*.motors In the city. Tho deal is closed, a big hotel is to be built at the.head of the lake, and people will come to Hopevillo next season, dead loads of them." Voices arose in eager demands for more detailed information. Property and rents would go up! The town stores wbuld quadruple their business! The rich golden harvest was coming at last! "Hut what about this horrible tasting water?" queried Bross, with a wry face. "Pronounced by chemists tho most healthful beverage in the world." j boasted Dawes proudly, "a true min- | eral water. When the promoters j learned that, they offered ten thou- ' sand dollars cash for tho spring it \ came from." "And where is that?" "Dowti in a forgotten corner of that poor, neglected farm your boy lives | on over in the ravine. Now, Neigh- ! bor Bross, as all the town is happy over the grand general prospects ahead of us, suppose you go down to the ravine farm and congratulate your son, Bradley, and his wife on their share in the general good luck?" ! And thus it was that the name of m?j |jupuiar i ucer Piaster Decamo a household word in Hopeville for al) timo to come. (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) Three Birthdays Yearly. There is apparently plenty of fun for the child in Sweden in tho matter j of birthdays, but the parent can hard- ' ly be expected to feel the same, for i the children there do not confine them- I selves to ode birthday, but they must I have three. Of course, the first one is tho real j birthday, and the other two are those , whoso names the Swedish boy or girl bears. For every day In the year of the Swedish calendar has its own sepa- ! rate name, besides the weekly names which other nations have. Sometimes i if the parent gives the child a second name or a first one that cannot be found in the calendar the child loses out on one birthdav. And consldera ble protest must follow, too, when the j child becomes old enough to realize what he Is missing. In tho German calendar every day has a name also, but tho observance of these days is not at all common in i the latter country. Following Up the Fads. Sharp?Draper?What are you at now?

Department of Agriculture Devotee Much Time Toward Solving Problem of Much Importance for Farmer and Fruit Grower. For several years the United States department of agriculture has been devoting a great deal of time toward solving one of the most important questions before the American farmer and fruit grower today. This is the conservation of all products on the farm, letting nothing go to waste. Special trains with leading government experts In charge have been sent out through the country to demonstrate and lecture on the various ways by which the enormous waste of this counti-y can be turned Into profit While many subjects of great Interest were discussed there was, perhaps, nothing of greater Importance than the subject of caring for the millions of dollars' worth of fruits and vegetables that go to waste every year, by the canning process. The advisability of canning the surplus at home or on the farm, where produced, was explained by theso experts and steam canning outfits were shown so that the farmers and their wives could see how easily this work can bo done. As the heat of boiling water is not sufficient to properly sterilize such foods as vegetables. Instructing Farmers How to Can Their Surplus. meats, fish and a few fruits, the steam pressure method-of canning is almost unanimously endorsed by experts in this line. With a steam-tight receptacle canned foods may be subjected to a much higher degree of heat, and the ferment germs totally destroyed. Many parts of the country are organized Into canning clubs under the supervision of government agents. They hold meetings at intervals and the children, as well as the older people, are taught how to successfully can all food products. Lectures are given at these meetings by the person in charge, and prizes are awarded for the most perfect goods. This work is rapidly extending into all the states and In a year or so the entire country will be organized Into "canning clubs." The farmer and fruit grower have a great deal to thank the United States government for. Unlimited praise is due our government for the educational work that Is being done, in helping the farmer to realize greater profits for his produce. BAD PRACTICE OF FARMERS One Cannot Afford to Burn Corn Stalks and Put Nothing Back in Form of Humus. (By B. E. SARA.) It always makes me feel sad to see smoke arising from the burning corn stalks in the field, because the farmer Is burning up his land and doesn't know It. How can we expect to burn up stock which the soil produces and put nothing back in the way of humus, and then liopo to keep our soil in good condition? Maybe I'm wrong when I say that rarmers do not know what they're doing. for doubtless some of them do know that It is a bad practice, but burning stalks is easier than disking or cutting them up, and they are a nuisance to plow them under. Some farmers say there Is no benefit in plowing under stalks, but I cannot figure it out that way, because I do not see how we can go robbing our soil and keep up the fertility. It costs very little to keep a sheep and a flock of 50 sheep is worth money. PUMPKINS STORED IN FIELDS P'led in Row and Covered With Hay Protection Is Afforded and Balanced Ration Formed. (By M. COVERDfclLL.) You needn't expect to reap much .. jfit from gorging your hogs and attle on pumpkins for a few days during the harvest season; then cutting off their supply of this valuable feed for another whole year. Store your pumpkins in the field. Pile the pumpkins in a row, as high and as wide dm vnn u-loh hay and set up fodder on each side to a thickness of three or four feet. This not only affords ample protection from the cold, but also enables you to form a most profitable balanced ration by adding "the fruit of the vine" as you feed out the corn and fodder. Try this. Setting Peach Trees. A great many peopie set peach trees too deeply. The ground should be plowed very deep, but the holes foi the trees should only be deep enough to cover the roots well. r Spray for Green Aphis. When the little green aphis attacks garden plantB a spray of rather strong tobacco water or a thin emulsion of kerosene and soap will be effective. I3ut the spraying must be repeated. GREATEST ENEMY OF CHICKS That Which Cause* More Loss Than Anything Else Is Chilling?Vermin Is Next Important. The greatest enemy of the chick, and that which causes more loss than any other one cause. Is chilling; the second enemy In importance because of amount of loss Is lice; both lice and chilling are the indirect cause of bowel troubles, because both sap the vitality and life of the chick, making It impossible for the little fellow to resist the organism* of disease whclh are always ready Uvattack ft.

Rub a little dab of lard on top of the chuck's head, getting It Into the down thoroughly, and you will get these; repeat the dose In a week, and If the hen la furnished a good dusting place, the lice are not likely to give any more trouble; but whenever you see a chick that seems unhappy, eyes closed, droopy, look for lice. The brood coops Bhould be thoroughly sprayed before using with some coal-tar preparation, sheep dip, whitewash, or a mixture of four parts coal oil and one part crude carbolic acid. It pays to be ahead, and that explains why so few of us are making anything on our poultry; we neglect these little things; because of neglect disease gets the start of us, wo become discouraged because of the losses, and give up and blamo our luck, when all the bad luck might have been prevented by a little careful preparation. Give the checks a clean place, all the heat they can stand, keep them free from vermin, and you can safely count them before they are raised. AROUND THE HONEY MAKERS All Failing or Slow Queens Should Be Changed Promptly and Breed Only From Very Best. Comb honey that Is to be sent :o a distant market should be shipjed before cold weather, since the combs become extremely fragile when cold. 11 /ntltn? 1 v. naiail Killing UI HIOW l|UCmi3 promptly, and breed from tho best you can socure, thus raising tho standard of your stock step by step and improving the averago year by year. The young bees, hatched from August 1 on, constitute the colony to ho wintered, and for this reason it is wise to see that much brood is ready, even if you have to resort to stimulative feeding. As a rule bees cast a prime swarm as soon as the first queen cell is sealed, unless prevented by bad weather; therefore, the first young queen may be expected to emerge on the eighth day from the first swarm. When the hives are well distribut- **sed in a certain space, their inmates can be more easily handled. It seems to improve their disposition, especially if there are some trees, shrubs, or the like about it. Robbing is not so prevalent, either, and the absence of that always helps to make the bees better natured. HANDY IN SORTING POTATOES Smaller Tubers Fall Through Holes in Revolving Screen?Work Done With Rapidity. A New York m^n has designed a machine for sorting potatoes, and here it is. A frame, with one end higher than the other, has a hopper on one and angular rollers rotably supported in it. A belt that passes over these rollers is fnrmpH of utrina Iof wire bo interwoven as to make a rather large mesh. Across the frame and just beneath the hopper Is a chute. To sort the tubers they' are poured Into the hopper and spread f 1 ' Potato Sorter. over the revolving belt. All the smaller potatoes pase through the openings in the belt, roll down the incline to the chute and are ejected at the side of the frame. The larger vegetables remain in the belt and are carried to another receptacle. This method is not only more rapid than sorting by hand, but it makes sure that there are no mixed sizes in the different lots. Disinfecting Whitewaah. , An excellent disinfecting whitewash may be made as follows: Slake 25 pounds fresh lime in sufficient water to make a paste, sprinkle in 15 pounds of flowers of sulphur, add 30 gallons of water, and mi ??- -- * , ?. mi uu nour men add enough water to make 50 gallons and apply with a spray pump, using a bordeaux nozzle. 1 i Forage for Ducks. ? Do you know that a patch of ground sown to turnips now will in a few i weeks provide forage for the ducks? They are so fond of this that they often eat young turnips right out of the ground. Keep on Hoeing. Keep the hoe going in the new strawberry bed, and also around all small fruit. a -I -?- -
