HEMP FOR PROFIT.
crop That Can BE Raised Successfully
In the Western States.

we have advocated tho reieinl VI
hemp as paying crop. A few weeks
ago one OF our contemporaries claimed
that it was not profitable crop where
corn could be raised, as the work up to
harvesting was twice as great as in
corn, and after that the labor was many
times that OF raising. We do not know
whether the veteran agricultural editor
OF the West raised hemp when he was
farming or not, but the testimony Of
those who have raised it in recent
years goes to prove that it may be
proftably raised now even in Illinois.
The proprietor of the hemp factory
at Buckley, lroquois County, H., Of
fers $40 per ton for properly-rotted
hemp straw this year He proposes to
furnish the seed, the farmers contract
ing to cut, separate and deliver the
straw at the mill dry and free
from dampEess Or dew. He claims
that one and one-half tons of hemp
straw is a fair average per acre, that
two tons is good crop, and that 500
tons were grown on l00-acre field at
Paxton, in Ford County, Ill. He had
raised hemp for six years on the same
field in Buckley, and last year had the
best crop for the whole period. 1t is
claimed that at SO per ton, hemp will
pay better than any other crop that
can be grown in that section, as the
labor and cost after sowing is no more
than the harvesting of timothy.
1t will pay better upon good than
upon poor soil-so will most any crop.
AS a rotation crop for diversified farm
ing near a hemp or flax mill, we con-
slider hemp or fax Gas the case may
be) a paying crop, but do not advise
raising hemp where the fiber Or straw
has to be transported far before reach
ing mill. Flax may be if raised for
the seed. Farm, Field and Stockman.

The work of properly harvesting thu
fruit crop is an important one and
must be looked after Because there
is large yield is hardly sufficient
reason for allowing any part TO go to
waste. Better let the stock have a
part than allow it to lie on the ground
and rot. breeding insects and disease.
If clover is grown in TIE orchard do
not cut it. If the hogs do hot eat
close down enough let the rest lie and
protect the ground. This will be bet
ter than to cut and make it into hay,
leaving the ground bare even for a
short time. st. Louis Republic.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
How to Make tho Culture of Fruits and
Vegetables a Source of Profit.

How to Make tho Culture of Fruits and
Vegetables a Source of Profit.
The orchard Or garden that is well
cared for will not prove failure
There are few parts of the farm that
can be made moro profitable than the
garden.
1t is very important in giving an
application to destroy pests to repeat
sufficiently often to make sure of the
desired results.
If the arsenical poison seems to burn
the foliage, it is /. good indication that
it is stronger than is necessary, and
should be weakened.
As rule the center OF the apple
trees should be cut so as to induce low
branches. Keep all the dead wood
cut so as to preserve the health of the
tree.
Thinning with grapes car, nearly al
ways be made beneficial, as 1t is not u
good plan to allow the vines to mature
too large a crop, while by thinning,
the quality may be gradually i'm
proved.
If, in setting out the apple trees, the
mistake has been made of setting the
trees too thick, care should be taken
to thin out, as this is one variety Of
fruit, at least, that will not bear crowd
ing.
In watering plants many times it
will increase the growth materially if
liquid manure is applied. One advan-
tage with manure in this condition is
that more or less of it is soluble.
Fruit trees will grow and thrive on
rocky land--too rocky to cultivate-if
care is taken to supply plenty of ma
nure. Often this land, unfit for culti-
vation, can be made very profitable.
BY trimming the currant with more
open head, mildew may in measure,
at least, be prevented. The plants
fruit on short spurs of two or three
year-old wood, and should have plenty
Of room.
From this timo on whatever imple-
ments are used in cultivating in the
orchard, care should be taken only to
stir the surface to the depth of not
over three inches--and two would be
much better.
Because fruits get low is not sure
indication that fruit is not profitable.
With proper care fruit can be grown
at comparatively small expense; and
while it is an item to secure the best
prices. yet often fruit can be sold very
low and yet give the grower a fair
profit.
One years seeding requires seven
years wedding. This fact should GER
tainly be remembered and both in the
garden and orchard care be taken to
allow no weeds to mature seeds. A
few late weeds left to mature seeds
will increase the work materially next
year.

FACTS ABOUT COLLARS.
HOW the Fashions Have Changed Since
the Days of the Ahcients.

now the Fashions Have Changed Since
the Days of the Ahcients.
General Grant wore high and low
collars alike.
On the necks OF the ancients were
collars of silver and brass.
Thomas Hood wore high collar to
hide tumor
The standing collar had its origin in
Germany in the reign of Otho w.,
1918.
Byron imported his famous low-roll-
ing collar from Belgium. He delighted
in exhibiting his white, almost fem
inine-appearing throat.
The jeweled collar of John de Shep-
pey. Bishop of Rochester, who died in
1860 weighed four and half pounds.
1t was Il tine example of tho clerical
splendor of the period
The early English laymen did not
cover their necks. The mailed collar
or gorget was introduced during the
crusade.
Charles Dickens, when a young
man, wore a black stock. In later
life he assumed the turned-down col
lar.
The sumptuary laws of Richard II.
prohibited collars from being worn.
The law was never enforced.
A straight white collar, somewhat
like that of few years ago, was in
troduced into England in 1880 by the
Duke OF Clarence.
Piccadillies of red and green cloth
came into fashion at the close of the
fifteenth century.
Washington wore no collar at all in
the last years of his life. The stock
or "swathe' had been discarded, and
the old gentleman rarely went out WIS.,
iting.
In 1864 the Elizabethan ruff became
the style. They sometimes projected
fifteen inches from the neck. The ruff
became odious to James l., and he Or
dered it to be taken off.
The starched ruff was replaced by
the Shakespearean collar, favored by
the puritans and continued until the
death of Charles H., when lace became
the rage.
President Ruchanan's friends were
highly incensed because Representa-
tive Lincoln made a speech at Spring
field, ridiculing the Presidents noto-
rious neckwear. He said it always To-
minded him of an ''undertaker' shop"
Altitudinous neckwear dates from
the directoire. Collars frequently
concealed the ears at that period.
General Spinola's collars are laun-
dered by a colored "aunty." They
measure 81 inches In width.
Let us have standing collars in the
fashion. We are becoming Il stiff
necked generation" - Rowland's
"Knave of Hearts," 1911.
Bill Nye says he always sports a
straight band collar, without any
projecting masonry or ornamental
facades.h
The poet Whittier affects cross be-
tween a high and low collar. 1t may
be described as white band folded

Mining as a productive industry, is necessarily cf slow growth and de- velopment. It cannot be brought from seed-time to harvest in a day. Preparations must be made in order to produce results, and the train of causes wisely set in order; and he is not wise who would ignore the ex- ternal laws which are set to govern the operation of everything in natures wide domain. Many men have at tempted to open mines not only with out any geological or mineralogical knowledge, but also without any knowledge of the amount of labor re- quired. and it is not strange, when both energy and capita! have failed, to hear such persons condemn every thing connected with their failure ex- cept their own ignorance and pre- sumption. A man who would not attempt to put handle to wheel barrow or to hang barn door, not unfrequently feels quite competent. to take charge of and run mine.- Mining Industry.
