RIGHT KIND OF NEIGHBORS.
Homer Betty, of Toledo, is fortun
ate in spite of his misfortune. On the
night of September 9th his hop house
was consumed by fire and six days
later a new hop house was completed
for him and was ready for business.
Mr. Betty's misfortune consisted in
having his hop house burn; he was for
tunate in possessing neighbors who as
sisted him so heartily in rebuilding.
Charles Henriot, seconded by John
Wallace, took charge of the matter and
everything moved like clockwork. Mr.
Veness turned his mills over to the
task of getting out material for the
building, and in spite of the scarcity of
workmen at present, there was plenty
of help to complete the work in the
short time of six days.
Mr. Betty says that his neighbors
must think a whole lot of a hop man
on general principles, or regard him
as a pretty good fellow, or perhaps he
has got darned good neighbors. In
fact, he admits that he knows the last
proposition to be true, thinks there
are some grounds for believing the
first to be true and hopes in time to be
able to merit the opinion expressed in
the second.
Mr. Betty's crop is in prime condi
tion and will yield about sixteen tons.

1 Portland Linseed Oil Cake is stead

stockmen and dairymen all along the
Pacific Coast. Feeders in California
are now taking up its use, with highly
satisfactory results.
Breed is all right, but the cow which
will produce the most butter from the
investment of a given amount of
Aioney is the best animal for the but
ter maker. Because certain families
of animals are most highly prized is
because they have a distinctive facul
ty for production along a certain line.

The firm of Kienstra Bros., dealers

The Meadowbrook company, Seat
tle, are in the market for all the cream
they can get. They offer top-notch
prices and dairymen get about all
there is coming to them. Don't worry
about the reliability of this firm. They
have an abundance of capital. They
want eggs, too, by the way.
BANKING BY MAIL.
Not a few progressive banks
throughout the country are making a
specialty of mail accounts —that is,
accounts of customers who are not
able by reason of their vocation, to
transact business with the bank per
sonally. In these days of almost
universal trolley connection, the ave
rage country bank is being brought
into closer contact with its customers,
but there are still many communities
where, owing to lack of facilities, a
trip to the bank involves both time
and trouble. This applies not only to
individuals scattered through the ad
joining territory, but to merchants
and firms who do business at what
might be termed cross-roads centers.
The postofflce department offers
every inducement to this end. Rural
free delivery is being extended in all
directions. The farmer's mail not
only comes to him promptly, but he is
also able to register letters at his
door, and Jto keep in constant touch
with his nearest urban center. It fol
lows that the necessity for a bank ac
count, so far as he is concerned, is
growing. Perhaps, if he is a progres
sive man, he already maintains one.
He can deposit checks or cash by
mail quite as expeditiously as by a
personal visit, and the bank will ad
vise him promptly of the receipt of
such remittances, and keep him post
ed as to the state of his account.
In addition to widening the in
fluence and profit possibilities of their
institutions, the men who are attempt
ing this work are unconsciously con
ducting an educational campaign of
great value, by making familiar to a
very influential class many things
which heretofore have been regarded
Iron a hostile standpoint. Banking
by mail should be encouraged in every
possible way, and the Northwest

Average crops don't pay. The av
erage farmer is a failure. Therefore
strive to be above the average in all
things. If your farm compels you to
keep in the average rank or below sell
it and get another. It is, however,
more often the farmers than the farm
that is responsible for average results.
It will be much better to be a top
bushel, or top-knotch farmer than an
average farmer.
