many more such men as Mr. Perry.
The Weston Leader has the following
to say about Dick Uerberding, who for
merly lived near Fossil: Last Wednes
day, on the Weston mountain, Dick Geo
herding bad a rather disastrous runaway.
He was cutting wood, and bad tied his
team to a tree. He cut down another
tree near tbe horses, and the fall of It
frightened them. They broke loose and
started pell-mell through tbe timber,
finally running " against a tree. One
horse's leg waa broken, and the animal
bad to be shot. The other was severely
hurtand the wagon waa budly demol-
Pcnnsylvania bas recently adopted a
law which provides that those owning
and using draft wagons with tires not
less than 4 inches wide for hauling loads
ot not less than 2,000 pounds, shall re
ceive a rebate of one-fourth of their road
tax. Michigan bas had for about fifteen
years a similar law, and the effect is
very apparent Roads are more easily
built, and they keep themselves In re
pair, except the removing of loose rock.
We believe in view of the light soil of
this portion of the country, the farmers
would find it economy, even without
legislative encouragement, to use such
wagons. This state could well afford to
follow the example of Michigan and
Pennsylvania.
Tuesday evening Mr. David Zachary
of Shultler Flat met with an accident

While returning home from Arlington

over, breaking both legs and one arm
and Injuring him internally. Dr. Gei-
eendorfer was summoned and he was ta
ken to his homo, where he lies In a crit
ical condition. As be is 63 years old his
chances for recovery are doubtful. It is
a singular eoiucldonce that near the same
place his neighbor, Dan Cameron, was
was almost killed in a similar manner a
few daya ago. Both are directors ot that
school district.

p,, , Small Farms.
One of otif "niost . prominent farmers
(who prefers Ms name withheld from
publication) offers tbe following sensible
argument to show why a small farm in
tbis country can be made to pay better
tban a large one. lie writes:
It bas seemed to me for several years
tbat the great trouble with the farmers
of Gilliam county has been they are try
ing to farm too many acres and as a
consequence are farming too poorly,
And especially is this true of the laat
few years. As the prices of farm pro
ducts have gone down they have farmed
more acres in order to keepthelr Incomes
up to what they were in former years,
not realizing that the more acres farmed
the more one's expenses are bound to he.
It ia being asserted by practical farmers
all through tbe east tbat ten acres of
land properly cultivated to vegetables or
fruit will make a good living for a fam
ily. If tbis is true sorely eighty or even
forty acres here will do the same thing.
I believe there is more money made in
farming eighty acres than one hundred
arid sixty, provided tbe same amount of
work is put on each. To prove tbis let
uu take the following example :
Suppose A &B begin with 160 acres
apiece and A farms 80 acres and B bis
whole 160, putting it in wheat.
A plow. SO acres at II per acre ISO 00
Harrowing, seeding;, at II per acre SO 00
HuarllnKatllperarre 80 00
Tbreahlng 2,400 bu.tel at 5c a bu.hel .. 100
Total , IfflOOO
Twenty-four hundred bnsbels at 25 cts
per bushel equals $600.00. From, tbis
take $300.00 and he will have $240.00;
for his work. ; j
B plowa 160 acres at fl peracre .....110000
Seeding, harrowing, at II per acre ..... 160 00
Mewling at II peracre ,..10000
Threshing 8200 tnuhela at 8c a tmihel ... 160 00
Total , , 1640 00
Thirty-two hundred bushels at 25 cts
per bushel equals $800.00 From .tbis
take $640.00 and be will have $160.00 for
hla summer's work, or just two-thirds as
much as A has made on his 80 acres.
In the above example I have reasoned
A's crop at 30 bushels per acre and B's
at 20, but 1 believe the difference in
the yield will be far greater than this.
Now suppose that A rents bis other 80
acrce to a neighbor, who farms it as
well as he does his own, and gets one
third for rent, lie will receive 400 bush
els more from bim, which, at 25 cts per
bu. will bring him $100.00 more. This
will bring bis income up to $340.00 while
B's will only be $160.00.
Now there may be some who. will say
tbat a man cannot raise 30 bu. per acre
without summer-fallowing; but I know
a man not far from here who threshed
66 bushels per acre, and another one
who sold 18 tons ot hay from 12 acres be
sides putting up several tons for himself,
and tbis on buncbgrass - land and not
a summer-fallow.
It is said that there la more waste land
from an agricultural standpoint in this
state than in the Mississippi Valley.
All the land capable ot cultivation in
tbia county should be in small holdings
and made to produce to the limit.
Small farming means . mucb. It
means better roads, better Bcbools, near
er neigbgors, and better markets. It
means companionship, sociability and
touch with the world. L
Our climate invites outdoor lite, it in
vites people from more rigorous sections
to come and prolong their, lives and use
fulness. Lone Rock Rlpets.
Crops need rain in this section again,
which we hope to see before long. '

People In tho lower Willow creek and
Eight mile country make a great deal of
complaint about squirrels being worse
this year than usual. They are doing
more damage in tbis vicinity this sum

have to eat grain and garden truck or
starve to death, poor things.
