dreth has lived on the Iowa street

well, purchased a number of lots
with the intention of building a resi

occasions presented themselves. He
drove into town and hitched his team
near tbe laundry and when he went
for his team to drive home he found
that some siuner dad out the celluloid
rings from the harness and left the
straps hanging. When he arrived
home he fonnd that some one had out
down his bee tree whioh was standing
in a cultivated field a little distance
from the house and bad lef". bint only
the wood and a swarm of hostile bee.
Loss had arranged with neighbor to
have the tree cot and divide tbe
boney and was looking forward to
having a big supply for tbe (joining

Thomas - Lewman was in Grants
Pass Tuesday with a load of hay
which he readily sold for $14 a ton.
This load' Mr. Lewman stated would
probably be the last that they would
ever sell, as there was no profit in
hauling bay the 14 miles from their
farm on the Appegate, near Provolt,
to Grants Pass and then sell it for f 10
to $12 a ton, the nsual price had. It
is a long day and hard trip to haul
hay from the Provolt section to Grants
Pass, and now that a creamery is in
(successful oporaton at Provolt, Mr.
'lawman is of the oninion that here-
after all tbe bay raised in that part of
Applegate Valley will be fed to dairy
cows. Mr. Lewman and his father,
J. A. Lewman, will buy a dozen or
more cows this Snmmor a d increase
the number until they have all that
they have feed for. Alfalfa is grow
ing well this Spring, and Mr. Lew
mm stated that the Applegate Valley
would have the uanal big yield of
three to four cuttings to the acre.
A few farmers have begun mowing
their first crop, and so soon as the
present rains are by, haying will be
roshed tn every farm.
