18, 11)11. Dear Friend: I have been slow in writing to you but the fall of the year is a very busy time here. Everything we raiso must be hauled to market iu the fall while the roads are good fur when it begins to rain there is no more hauling until I The Other Fellow's Job. Did you ever notice how good the other fellow's job looks to you? There are times when you get the idea that you are the only real, genuine, eighteen carat slave in town; that all the other fellows are up on the band wagon with their hands folded and with a ten cent stogie burning brightly while you are coatless and collarless trying to push tho load a'ong. We had a well-to-do fanner tell us the other day that he realized what a fool he was when he did not get into the banking business where money was made every day in the year, where a fellow could work short hours, wear good clothes and have everybody come to him for an occasional loan at a nice rate.

In a little while we visited with a man who owned stock in a bank. "Why," he says, 'it puts grey hairs in your head faster than section work. Here I have a hundred thousand dollars of money belonging to my best friends and I try ti loan that out and accommodate the borrower by not pushing collections, but if my depositors come in and as! for their cash I must have it to plank down or have my doors locked." Another farmer, who come to town tw or three times a week and has money for is needs, said his idea of snap was running a newspaper. He did not know that the old man of this shack had been working day times ir, the shop and writing copy and setting advertisements when the farmer was cosy in bed. Maybe you see only the easy side of the other fellow's job.

After all, if there was any business that had no grief we would all be in that business. But all have their drawbacks. If you are in a business that it distasteful to you, then better change, but if you are going to change just because the other fellow has a snap, yon had better go slow. Colby Free Press To Prevent Hog Chalera. Manhattan, Kansas, The Kansas Agricultural college now is able to supply the demand for anti-hog-cholera serum.

Its plants now is turning out the serum at the rate of about 7,500 doses a week or a little more than 1000 a day. This does not mean that the calls are fewer or less insistent. The situation is about the same as it has been for weeks. But the college has increased its capacity for manufacturing serum. Dr.

F. S. Sehoonleber, state veterinarian at the agricultural college, still is urging life immunity, for breeding hogs, especially. This is done by the double or similtaneous method of vaccinating. Ti hog is vaccinated first with serum only.

Ten days to two weeks later it is again vaccinated. But this time a small quantity of virulent blood or virus is injected with the serum. This method is especially recommended if cholera already is in the herd or if the animals are fat or very highly bred. It makes a hog immune from cholera for life. There should be no danger, Dr.

Schoenleber says, of starting cholera or spreading the disease when this method is used. In several of the largest counties of Kansas the farmers have formed serum clubs to buy $1,000 worth of the preventive. This quantity will be kept in the storage cellars of the college for immediate use. TO HAVE HIS HEADQUARTERS AT THAT STORE Here you will find every toy from a tin whistle to a miniature piano. A wonderful stock of the very latest mechanical toys.

This store is a perfect wonderland to the little folks, and a boon to the Christmas shopper. Every time the door opens the little bell atthe top calls out "eureka" and you know you have found the right place. Come in and look and linger-as long as you like. FURNITURE OF ALL KINDS. Respectfully, A.

II Pohlman the next year late in the spring. Then there is the usual farm work on the farm. There is the fruit to gather and care for and the garden stuff. A person can have plenty to eat in this country, but for all that Mrs. Lundy says she is coming back to Kansas.

Now hauling to market here is not like hauling in Kansas. The road very often will zig zag down the mountain side and in making the short turns with a heavy load everything depends on the brake. If anything gives way the driver jumps for his life or takes his chances. One man was killed on the road whore we hauled this fall. He failed to make one of the turns and went down under his load of 300 posts.

Now I want to tell you something about wheat. The wheat grown hen; is soft wheat- both spring and fall wheat being soft. It has sweetness not possessed by hard wheat lint is harder to make good bread of than the Kansas wheat and it shells out very easy. All wagons thut haul bundles to the machine must have tight bottoms and the loader don't trump on the load commences loading at the back end and works forward. The thresher takes the concave teeth all out and puts in a blank and then lets it down low.

This will sound strange to the old threshennen of Kansas but it is a fact just the same. I never have found any grain in the straw hero and have looked good many times. Where I helped thresh wheat went ill! bushels to the acre. Oats about 75 bushels per acre. There was a five acre piece of wheat near here that went (50 bushels per acre showing what can be done by a little care in fanning.

Now about fruit. We raised apples that measured thirteen inches around. Apples are a light crop in the northwest this year. We had prunes that measured nine and one-half inches around and peaches that measured eleven and one-half around. We have nectarines but we think they are poor fodder.

I believe we can show yon larger iota toes than yon ever saw. I did not measure any potatoes because it would sound too big. When I was digging my potatoes I thought I would just throw them out on top of the ground and pick them up afterwards but I soon found out that there was not room enough for them so had to stop digging and pick up some. Well, this will do for this time. Will write again.

My best regards to the people of Natoma. The best people I know of live in Kansas. Respectfully, Allen Lundy. These are busy days on the Meyers ranch north east of town. Parties from all over that section are flocking in to the timber east of the ranch house and a great deal of wood is being cut.

We were told that Mr. Meyers sold over p00 worth of wood in one week a short time ago. There are some very large trees there. Lou White says he obtained 100 posts from the first cut from an oak tree. He tells of another tree too large to be cut with an ordinary 0-foot Postmaster General Hitchcock has ruled that the letters that are written this year to Santa Clans, if properly 1 stamped, shall be turned over to -the leading committees in charge of tin Christmas trees and in charge of charitable work.

Heretofore these letters i hae not been placed where they could i do the writer much good. ilOYOUEL CHR1STAVVS SHOPPING EARJY M. E. Church Annauncsmsnts. On account of the blzzard the meetings at Pleasant Plain were postponed till Sunday night.
