Hove Two Strings. It is not wise for a farmer to pin all his faith onto one crop. The man who has two strings to his bow is more likely to kill game than the man who has but one. Diversified farming is better than specialty farming. Only once in a long while do you find a farmer who has pinned alibis hopes on one thing and been successful.

Hogs have lifted many a mortgage, but hogs aro bad in cholera times. Wheat has started many a man on the highway to wealth only to drop him the harder when blight, rust or chintz bugs came along. In a short time the creamery here will begin business and the farmers near Lane will have another chance on the wheal of fortune, and one they Bhould be ready to take advantage of, for the returns aie sure. With a good market for milk there is good money in good cows. The returns will not come in in big chunks as when you sell a bunch of fat steers, but they will come in often and with great regularity.

Every quarter section of land within four miles of town should have a dozen or more cows as a part of their equipment from now on. The calf has had the milk in the past, perhapse, but you can't afford to grow a calf on butter fat at 10, 15 or 25 cents per pound. The milk that comes back from the skimmer isn't as rich as the milk that goes to it, but with a little grain will make the calf at muedi cheaper rates than to feed him the butter the milk contains. no time is specified', all ads ana locals will be run until ordered out, and charged for accordingly. The funeral took place Sunday at 10, o'clock a.

Blackburn officiating and the remains Tveredaid to rest in the Wells cemetery. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in this hour of sorrow. Telephones. A representative of the Kansas telephone company was in town Tuesday arranging to connect Lane with the outside world. This is a good move and should be encouraged, Ho town can afford, in this day and age of the world to be without a telephone service, Towns or individuals who have for their motto "Remove not the ancient landmarks which our forefathers have set" will get left.

It is an aye of improvement and advancement. The methods of the past are not good today. The man who sits still and waits for business will never make a fortune. The man who advertises, pushes to the" front and takes hold of new ideas succeeds, the niossback fails. Time was-when a tree top would do for a drag, but F.

M. Crow sells steel harrows now. The sickle has been supplanted by the self binder. The ox and mule caravans are out of elate and the steam or electric transports the multitudes and the products. Mr.

Brown who was here Tuesday askod no bouns or bonds, he simply asked the; people here to buy $100 worth of coupons, each good for a talk over the line and if that amount of business is guaranteed the company will connect us with their line running from Ottawa to Osawatomie. This would enable us to talk to any one of the surrounding towns. There; is little boubt about the success of the undertaking. While we are on the subject of telephones we want to make a suggestion and that is for the farmers to organize companies to build and own telephone lines of their own. A telephone line is a very inexpensive affair, especially in a county like tliis where the poles can be cut in the groves.

A little money and a little work on the part of each farmer aud you have a line of your own with no cost for talking to your neighbors. Harry Walters, Card of Thanks.
