Farm Surroundings.

A speaker at an agricultural con-
vention said: One prime reason why
the BOYS are so prone TO desert the
farm, and the girls are so unwilling to
follow the occupation of their moth
ers, is, that the home, with its build
ings and surroundings, is not made
more attractive. The difference be-
tween the odors of the pig pen and a
plat of geraniums, is perceptible, in
marked degree, to the olfactories of
every one whose sense of smell has not
always been abused and blunted, till
it has become insensible to any
odor that has not attained to
the rankest smell. These waste
not their fragrance on the
desert air but offend the senses of the
inmates doomed to inhale them, till
the perfume of the pen and pool is
preferred to that of the sweetest fra
GRANGE that may or should be around
every farmers home. The pen, the
pool and the privy, are the necessary
concomitants of every well-reg ulated
family; but it is the manner in which
they are regulated that makes them
tolerable or uncomfortable. How shall
these unseemly parts of the farm
house be made comely, and turned
to profit, converting by natural pro-
cesses the noxious effiuvia into elements
from which spring vegetables, fruits,
and flowers in their varied plant
forms? Let these be surrounded with
shrubbery, evergreens, or vines, sub
shutting the beauty of nature for de.
formity of art Nothing generated in
natures laboratory is more thorough
ly disinfectant, a better absorbent,
more free or accessible. than dry
earth. Let sufficient quantities of this
be secured,-gathered from the wash
ings of the roadside, from the mounds
around the walls, and from every
available ource,-freely used each
day, and double purpose will be
achieved "a nuisance abated, ferti-
lizer created.

Fractional Script.

The fractional currency of the
United States was the most profitable
form of money ever issued by the fed
eral authorities. All of it that was
lost or destroyed, and this is estimated
by the New York Herald in round
figures at 1000, 900, but is probably
more, is figured as clear gain to the
government. The total amount of the
currency emitted, including reissues,
was 1868, 72O, 179.51. The total amount
redeemed aggregates $3.50, 447, 626. so.
This would apparently leave outstand-
ing Sis, 272, 443.O1, but in the last an
nual debt statement the outstanding
amount is set down as Sc, 900, 50462.
This amount is merely an estimate OF
the authorities, but clearly illustrates
the fact that 1921, 93s.79 has been
marked off to profit and loss. The
government still stands ready to re-
deem it's fractional currency and has
no intention of repudiating any of it,
although congress has authorized the
marking off of 100000 Very little
of it is now turned into the sub
treasures, in consequence of the rarity
of certain issues and the fact that
large quantities are in the hands of
collectors, who would not part with
their specimens for ten times the
face value. There were redeemed last
year exactly $2,95S worth OF this
profitable currency, and SO accurately
are the accounts of the treasury de-
partment kept that the exact amount
of each denomination destroyed car
be ascertained. They were as fol-
lows: Three cents, $3.49; cents,
SOS. 43; 1Ocents, $6O2. O5; Is cents, $50. IL;
25 cents, $l,O95.42, and SO cents.
81, IFS. so. Fragments of bills are, of
course, redeemed in proportion, which
accounts for the apparent impossi-
bility of redeeming total amounts that
are not multiples of the face value Of
the notes.
Fractional currency was feature of
our money from Aug. /, 1862, when
the first issue was authorized, until
Feb. IS, 1876, when the last or fifth
issue ceased The emission of it,
therefore, covered period of fourteen
years, and it is eighteen years since
the last notes were issued. Consider
ing the length of time since the gov
eminent discontinued the issue of
fractional currency, the amount out
standing is enormous, greater by fan
than any other form of the public debt
unredeemed from the foundation of
the republic down to 1862, when the
legal tender notes were authorized.
1t is not likely now that more than
$50, 900 of fractional currency will ever
be presented for redemption, so that
the total profit to the government will
in the end amount to fully $15.O0O,O 600
from it's issue.
A curious fact about the presenta-
ton of fractional notes for redemp-
ton is the large proportion that spuri-
GUS bills bear to the total. Last year,
when but s., 95s worth was redeemed,
counterfeit fractional bills to the
amount of 1925 were turned into the
treasury and destroyed. The proper
ton is very nearly per cent, which
illustrates two things: how extensive
ly the fractional currency was imi-
tated, and the tenacity with which per-
sons who had been taken in by the bad
money chung to the hope of eventually
obtaining it's value-Farmers Review.

FAST TIME sYA MOOSE.
The Speedy Animal Outruns a Railway
Locomotive In n Four MfIa p.sb

The Speedy Animal Outruns n RAILWAY
Locomotive in -Four Mile Dash.
Anyone who thinks a moose can Z
travel at a pretty lively gait is very
much mistaken, remarked a St Paul
man to the st. Louis Globe Democrat
the other day. used to be a locomo-
tive engineer up in the northern part
OF my state, and one day | had an op-
portunity to test the speed of this ami
mai! was running a light freight
train, and in coming around a curve
saw big moose standing directly on
the track. AS soon as the animal saw
the engine he took to his heels right
down the path between the rails For
about four miles we had a perfectly
straight track, and as l had heard of
the great speed of this animal ] de-
termined to test its ability. The gait
OF the moose was sort of trot. such
only as a moose can exhibit. his PAGES
being about two rods in length. At
first it was only little jog, but as the
engine began to gain speed the moose
let himself out. Faster and faster
sped the engine, but still the frighten-
ed moose trotted in the van, and all
the mysterious power of steam could
not prevail upon this monarch of the
forest At last, after we had covered
the four miles, turning a curve, we
came upon gang of section men who
were fixing the track. The sight of
these men frightened the moose from
the track and he was soon lost to view
in the forest.
