WABMING THE GRAIN.
One of the things which not
only bear, but require, repenting
ahd should be urged and urub
bed in" until well understood
by the general poultry keeper,
i3 the advisability of warming
a'.l the grain before it is fed to
low's in real wintry weather.
. Wheat taken out of the bin in
a cold barn, or corn taken out
of the crib during a spell of ex
treme cold, is much colder, per
haps, than just ice. We eat ict
cream and relish it. But wo eat
it slowly, in small quantities,
td king caro to have it wel
melted in the mouth before we
send it down to the stomach.
Who would think of making a
meal of it, or tilling the stomach
with a lot of frozen stuff gn'ped
down by spoonfuls! Tot that
is exactJy what the great ma
jority of poultry keepers expect
their birds to do. The frozen
corn, worse than so many hail
stones, are greedly devoured,
and the crop tilled up with solid
chunks of frozen food, of a tem
perature possibb' close to the
zero mark, ju3t before rooating
time, and when the birds may
-already be shivering with cold.
Before this food can be of any
service to warm up or, build up
the fowls, it must first be thawed
o.ut and warmed itself, and this
process must of necessiiy draw
After a full meal of the frozen
grain, at retiring time, wp
should expect to lind the birds
on the perches shivering even
worse than when they were yet
empty and hungry, while they
should feel the genial glow of
warmth that usually pervades
-any living creature after a good
meal. The warming of grain
has to be urged also on the
grounds of economy. Frozen
corn or wheat cannot possibly
-jrive its maximum service.
Half of its food value, or there
abouts, is consumed in thawing
and warming it. -We will "iind
it much cheaper to warm the
:grain on the stove or in the
oven. We feed peas in the
morning. The daily allowance
is brought to the house in the
evening before, and kept where
it will be good and warm in the
morning, when it is strewn on
the floor of the scratching room
and soon picked up before it
ias lrad a chance to get icy cold
again. The daily allowance of
corn is brought to the house in
the morning, and usually placed
-? i . j :..
in uie oven to ueat,ui;u in some
,case8 to become charred. In
the meantime the warm meal is
given (during the middle of the
day), and when evening ap
proaches, just before dusk, the
corn is taken out to the poultry
house, run through the food cut
ter to be cut into about inch
lenghts, and thrown down on
the floor for the fowls to pick at
and off the cob, which keeps
them busjT for a little while.
They are then ready to go on
the perches feeling well, warm
and satisfied. We doubt
whether any one point in poul
try feeding at this time can be
of greater importance than this.
In short, ice is not good' food,
and is not economical food.
It costs nothing to warm the
grain, and is but little trouble.
Do it!

OBITTJABY.
Bernard Wilson, the little si-n ot
Max and Stella Wilson, was born at
Piineville. Oregon, July 30, 1901, and
died at Madras, Thursday, February
23, 1905, of plural bronchitis superin
duced by measles, having attained the
age of 3 years, U luouths and 24 days,
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. J2. M. Mortluioro from the
home of Mrs, Wilson's father, John
l8ham, Friday, February 24, at 2 p. ra.
Interment took place at the Nannie
Holt Cemetery.
Little Bernard came to Madras with
liis parents December 20, 1904, from
Vida, Lane county, Ore. They have
since lived iu the well known homo of
Johu laham. It was here, Hurrounded
by a.host of relatives aud frietals, that
the little dear one became so well
kuo.wn by a large number of Msdras

PEUNING ROOTS OF TREES,
That the cutting away of n
a largo portion of the roots of
trees when the trees are very
small mil) make but little dif
ference, can bo understood, but
tho case is different whun tho
tree is of some size. Nursery
men continually urgo their men
to bo careful to preserve all the
roots when digging; customers,
too, urge the same thing; and
nature itself has provided a cor
tain number to each tree in the
belief the' wero required, and
so they are. Roots are for two
purposes, the supplying of the
elements of food to the tree and
the holding 'Of tho tree in place.
The fact the bod' of roots is
capable of absorbing moisture
is well understood. The fibres
which push out in spring ftom
the ends of the roots are the
principal feeders, but t h e
thicker roots, on which the fibers
are, .also absorb moisture with
which to sustain a tree. How,
then, is tho cutting off of the
greater portion of the roots a
helpful proceeding? With a
tree pruned of all its branches
that but its main stem is left,
it can be understood that the
preservation of all its roots is
not of great moment, still, it
must be that the more root the
better for the tree. When trees
are-fall planted it isonly by the
absorption of moisture by the
thicker roots not fibres that
they are kept alive. To prove
this, let the soil become dust
dry, aud the trees will die.
Besides the power of absortion

Mr, PowoM, of Simnasho, was at the
Agency on business last week. He
reports np Increased Interest Iu furra
ing among the Indians of his district.
jhe lady members of tllo Reading

vanlEig '9t week, and after a little
-riMtllH huslnesa fprc,ed n adjourn
meat. They then produced flinch
aMto Mid earun boards from oon
by all who knew him. From infaucy
his intelligence was a marked feature.
Lcbs than six months old, he had
already attempted to voice his
thoughts audibly. Mutic had pur
haps the strongest attraction for him,
and r ahull never forget the sweet
melodies he sang on several occasions
during u brief frtay at his grandfathers
home. And, little though ho was, he
had acquired an unusual taste for iu
etrun.eutal music, especially the violin,
which tasite he had undoubtedly in
herited from his parents, who are
known for their musical ability.
Those of us who knew him best
shall always feel that a dear one has
passed from our midst, whose deah
wo mourn as if he had been of our own
kin. The only child of his parents, lie :
hail the teuderest of care, but Death j
conquors all, and we yield to the in

ail good gifts has taken him into Hir
own care. J. A. H. i
The following ts a sweet poem which
little Bernard Wilson recited when less;
than two years old:
In speaVing of a person's faults,
Pray don't forget your own.
Ill-member, those In hounc of glaaa
Should never tbrowf a stone.
If we have nothing elife to do -
-llut talk of thoe whojsln,
It' better we commenco at borne,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he' fairly tried.
If we don't like his company,
We know the world la wide.
Some may hale fauItH,
And Kome have none,
The old aa well aa young.
We may. perhapt), for augbt we know
Have fifty to their one.
IilTTLE BERNAIIU IS GONE,
The greatest blessing God can give
to parents is the life of a beautiful aud
dutiful child. Such a one was little
Bernard. His parents lived but for
him, and well they naleht, for his was
a beautitul face, a ewee'. disposition, a
lovely character. Yes, be wen young,
not yet four, but old enough to draw
people to him. and to bold them with
etroug chords of love. It wa his
privilege to teaeb us older ones tho
reward of a gontle nature. Ho has not
lived In Vain, for he has left a heritage
more valuable than gold. The world
will be better for bavitic known him.
It was. but a glimpse of a heavenly,
spirit, but ohJ the brightness of lt.:
He was untainted by ein.j fresh, pure
and holy ouaracter oi uou-a groBieot
skill. Wo worus can express mo our
row of his parents, relatives and friend
at hla departure. But
'It la riot death I What aecma so is traniition ;
ThU life of mortal breath
la but a auburb of tho life elyIon
Wboae portal wo C.oll death.
He ia not dead-the child of our" affecliort
But gone unto that achool .
When ho no longer wecda our ixor protection,
And CUrlat himself doth rulo' : Kd.
V, Z. Branstetter, of the Big IMaln
is cutting quite a swath of sod. He
Is plowing, right along, and, Jlko a
good soldier, never looks behind, The
boys will have to htifrjf If thoy beat
Volnej,
sary are they that when with
out a great number many trees
die becauce of the disturbance
of their roots by the trees sway
ing about in gales of wind
It is sure that no matter whose
"method" it is to cut off nearly
all the roots, it had better not
be followed. Preserve all the
roots you can, cut off all bruised
ends, leaving a clean cut surface,
and the tree will have a better
chance of thriving tlmir if the
