Reasons for Poultry Raising
lucre are c.igiu good reiiNonfi
why poultry hImhiUI be rained on
every farm in TcXhh kJ in thcac
eight reimona there is not includ-
fd the. one tliut. there is a big de
mand for poultry products which
are ot our most valuable loo-
products. The eight rcnaoim fol

i ii i t . t
i. jeciniN(- ne may ny meir
meims convert a great deal of the
wiiHte of the farm into money in
the ahape of eggs and chiexeim
for market.
2. Because with intelligent
management they will be an all-
yenr revenue producer with the
exception of the moulting hcusoii.
.'J. HecaiiKe the manure from
the poultry house wil make val-
uable compost for use either in
vegetable garden or orchard. The
birds themselves if allowed to
run in plum or apple orchard
will destroy all injurious insect
life.
4. Because while cereals nnd
fruits can be successfully grown
in certain sections poultry can be
grown in all parts of the coun-
try. . 5. Because poultry raising is
nn employment in which the
farmer's wife or daughters may
engage and leave the farmer free
to attend to other departments.
C. Because it will bring him
the best results in the shape of
fresh-laid eggs during the winter
season when the farmer lias the
most lime on his bands.
7. Because the poultry will
viebl 1 1 i in a (iiiieker return for the'
---- - -
capital invested than any other
branch of agriculture.
K. Because to start poultry
raising on the farm requires lit-
tle capital. Fort Worth Star-

The Best Pumping
Thousands of thoughtless farmers are doing the
work of engines. Pumping water for stock and run-
ning all sorts of machines by muscle powea. Burning
up human energy instead of cheap gasoline. It's the
most expensive mistake a man can make a man can
make to become a mere machine. Don't do it
Pumping by Engine
Power is Play!
A man can "take it easy" in the shade
while the Farm Pump Engine works.
The busy little engine id on the job and
the cattle drink all they want. While
smoking his pipe the farmer i3 think-
ing "What a fool I was that I didn't
get that dandy little engine long ago!
It's the best 'hired man on the place !"
Moral: Get a Fuller & Johnson

Orchard and Garden.
If it is possible to irrigate the
garden make your plans. to take
care of the vegetables through
the drouth of the summer. A
small area with irrigation will
supply your wants when the
drouth has destroyed general
crops.
Much small fruits as strawber-
ries raspberries grapes black-
berries etc. are relished and con-
tribute much to the health and en-
joyment of the family. If you do
not have an abundance of these
fruits in season set the plants
this spring.
A good garden in which is
grown plenty of wholesome veg-
etables for the family will be a
good financial investment for you
this year. Your rotation plan
will bo unsatisfactory if you do
not include the garden in your
operations.
This is a good time to set shade
trees on the school grounds. Ask
the teacher to announce Unit the
pupils will be assisted by the en-
tire community in planting trees.
Let every one take part in beau-
tifying tin' school ground with
trees.
Make ample provisions for
sweet potatoes. There nre few
crops that pay better for the la-
bor and capital used in produc-
ing them than sweet potatoes.
13 very home ought to have plenty
for the family table and a sur-
plus can be marketed at a good
profit.
Let us bear from you in regard
to your garden plan. It will
soon be time to begin the plan
you have made and it would be a
charitable act to tell others what
you expect to grow and the gen-
eral plan of your garden. Your
originality should benefit others
as well as yourself.
Pretty (lowers contribute much
to our contentment and happi-
ness and should have our careful
time and attention. The people in
the home are often estimated ac-
cording to the flowers and orna-
mental plants around the home.
Do not under any circumstances
neglect the flowers this spring.
We are especially anxious to
have letters from girls and young
ladies upon flower growing. What
do you grow how do you grow
them and what benefits do you
derive from floriculture? -We
want to hear from you upon these
and any other subjects that ap-
peal to you. You can help us
place these facts before others.

Chauncey the Peach
When on April 22 next Chaun-
cey M. Depew repairs to JVck-
sil'l N. Y. at which point the cit-
izens annually give him a birth-
day party because of his happen-
ing to have been born among them
and to have retained their re-
gard for the seventy-six years in
tervening he will he a privau
citizen for his second and last
term in the senate comes to an
end on the fourth of March.
This birthday party given by
Senator Depew s townspeople is
for him one of the happiest days
of each vear. because it shows
that the ix'onle back home still
think well of him. At it he a I
ways makes one of his inimitable
after-dinner speeches master
pieces of their kind which each
year for twelve years has been
printed as a senate document as
a compliment to their creator nnd
as a model to his associates.
Depew is known jauntily as
Chaiincev the Poach even among
the rabble. No one will be niisse
more than he tor there is no man
in the canital more popular. Of
course he will be seen at national
conventions tor there was never
a convention without Chauncey.
He has been a delegate to every
one since somewhere back in the
time of Lincoln and he nominated
one president Harrison.
This is not the tirst time that
Dpew has gone into retirement.
The muckrakers were so unkind
to ti i tn at the time of the insur-
ance investigations in New York
that he voluntarily retired to the
wilds of Virginia in broken
health and it was then thought
that he would nevr come back
I tut the geniality and charm of
him wore away the sting and his
popularity xvassoon as great as
ever. Now on a wave of demo-
eiatie supremacy he has been
a train swept into the background
and. being mellow with aire will
almost certainly remain there.

PUBLIC MASS MEETING
LAST THURSDAY NIGHT!
J.
Enthusiastio Citizens Meet
Mass and Discuss Town's
Future
en
At a public mass meeting at-
tended by a large number of
Knyder'a most progressive citi-
zens in the court house on Thurs-
day evening the formal manner
of its conduction and earnest-
ness and those present bespoke
for the Young Men's I'.usiuess
League of Snyder under whose
auspices the meeting was held a
certain future.
Music by the band regaled
those present until called to or-
der by the President followed by
the reading of the minutes of the
pi e ions meeting by the secre-
tar. Then in a few well chosen re-
marks Kev. A. P. Ingram care-
fully delineated the purposes and
aims of the organization stating
that it was a fraternal boty in its
attitude toward other bodies and
with a supreme desire to sup-
planj no one but to enhance the
progress and effectiveness of all
movements for good and develop-
ment. Uev. .). W. Hunt then followed
with an address appropriate mid
well calculated to stir sympathy
for the needs of our town and
county. The poignant preccpis
held up to us bv other towns in
o.ir western territory were dwelt
upon with noticeable effect upon
his listeners.
Tt'ev. Ingram on call for re-
ports from committees as chair-
man the by-laws committee
delivered to the secretary for
reading a copy of Ihe constitu-
tion and by-laws which upon mo-
tion by Hon. Mae Taylor was
ratified by all present.
The report of membership com-
mittee showed excellent work
totaling in the neighborhood of
125 subscribed members Dr. Mor-
row alone reporting 75. The pres-
ident reported his executive com-
mitter' of twelve members as fol-
lows: C. L. L'zcll H. H. Curnutte.

V. Hunt Fred A. Crayum T. 1'.
Perkins W. II. Morrow (). P.
Thrane K. J. Anderson.
Then the surprise of the even-
ing was sprung. Hon Mac Taylor
announced the sale of Snyder's
f H.000 b'iid issue for water and
sewer systems which met with
vigorous applause. Further he
stated that work would com-
mence immediately and as soon
as this work was completed an ef-
ficient fire department fire mar-
shall and building laws would he
instituted thereby insuring the
townspeople of a service guaran-
teeing the lowest insurance rates
excellent sanitary condition and
all Ihe improvements mat siioum
go with a wide awake town. On
completion of his address he in
troduced Mr. Fountain of the
Fountain and Shaw Engineering
Co. of Dallas which concern will
have the work in charge and who
stated that maps and profiles of
the work for Snyder had been
"ompletcd to a high degree of fu-
ture efficiency thereby guaran-
teeing to th" town that future
sidewalks pavements an 1 fi.e
like will not di-turb the under-
ground water and sewer syst.-uis
and instead of future eteiisi. is
make necessary the tearing up of
old work it would be possible to
make direct connections and pro-
ceed with any new work that
miirht be contemplated.
Messrs. M. V.. Kosser and A. '.
Wilmeth dwelt on the necessity
of trees and sidewalks especial-
!v to the ileixits which was met I
with hearty applause.
The bund played its bet. th-
speakers told the truth and v v-
ed a point at every thru1 a:ei
when the assembly b it the hall ..
general feeling of sati-faet
that a marked step toward pro-
gress had bet n recorded in tiie
annals of Snyder's histo-v.
