Timely Topics.

Put a little soap on that creal1ing
gate or door-hinge and permanently stop
that intOlerable nuisance of a noise.
It will take but few moments at
each place to take up the sag and wedge
the open joints Of every gate and door
on the place. How much nicer they will
be. 4 dragging gate or door will veX a
saint TO profanity
Every crack and hole through which
the cold can find ingress means the use
of that much more food to keep up the
animal heat this winter. Batt,A the
holes and patch the roof this afternoon.
The next time you drive to town put
a pick and crowbar in the wagon and
dig out that rock near where you turn
on the main road. You can trot the
horses around this corner afterward
without danger of being thrown out if
you do.
I do not believe, neither do you, that
the clothesline keeps much of the cold
off the hens rOosting on that old wagon
in the backyard. 1 often wonder what
the hens would think of such a master
anyway.
There are a lot Of old broken chairs
out in the wOOdshed Why not take four
of the legs and five-by-two-inch plank

will have no more chairs used up by
the women making washing-stoOls out of
them. This is where most of those old
wrecks came from.

When to Sell.

The Mirror and Farmer thinks that
marketing produce can never be done
by rule until cooperation is brought
nearer to perfection than it is now.
Markets which farmers reach do not
buy a large amount at once, and many
goods must be handled when they are
fresh, and if there was any rule. and
all tried to follow it, there would be a
scarcity at times and then rush that
would create a ruinOuS competition.
There is always a question in the fall
whether IT is better to sell apples and
potatoes at harvest time or hold them
for a rise, and it is plain that if all
producers in any large section followed
the same policy, and all sold at once,
they would all lose by the transaction.
Therefore, until there can be some agree
ment by which the goods can be market
ed in installments, and the profits di-
vided it is best for each man to watch
his own chances and sell when he thinks
best, and can get to market most con-
veniently.
When most people are selling, in the
fall, it is safe for a few to hold on till
spring; but there is no regular way to
decide who shall sell and who shall
hold, other than individual choice and
convenience. For these reasons it is
useless to attempt to tell farmers as a
whole when to sell.

How to Drain Roads.

The editor Of the Drainage Journal. in
a public address, said that among those
who have given the subject of road i'm
provement careful attention there is a
settled conviction that the good condi-
ton Of any road depends upon a system
Of thorough drainage system which
embraces not only the removal Of the
storm water which falls upon the surface
Of the road and the land adjoining, but
also the water which filters through the
ground. The latter, If allowed to per-
colate into and through the subsOil un-
derlying the rOad-bed, will render the
travel way soft and spongy, often az
fecting the compacted surface Of the
road so as to cause il to break up or in
other words, 1.-The bottom drops out -
The remedy is thorough drainage. In
fact, the basis of all road Improvement
IS the thorough drainage Of the road
surface and the foundations Of the road
entertainments In the experiments which
have been made in road drainage by lay
ing one or two lines OF tile drains along
the sides and parallel with the road. the
result has been so satisfactory that some
persons have become enthused with this
method Of road Improvement. and con-
Guide that in il there is a remedy for all
defects which may be encountered. But
we are convinced that the best improve
ment Of oui' highways will combine at
least three essential features. which are:
!. a road embankment OF sufficient
hight 20 be at least above overflow from
extraordinary rainfall, and sufficiently
browning to shed the water readily, and
wide enough TO accommodate the travel
and not of greater width.
3. That the road shall have open
bitches on each side of sufficient capacity
TO carry all flood water from the road
way and from the lands adjoining into
the nearest water course without him

IndOrsinE Notes.

There is much good advice in the fol-
lowing, taken from the Stockman and
Farmer:
Business requirements often compel
men to seek for Endorsement on their
paper in order to conduct their business,
and it becomes a very simple thing for
a next-door neighbor to dash off his sig
nature, to make the note negotiable at a
banking houSe-only a matter of form!
But how many there are in every sec
ton who know to their great sorrow
that il is something more than form!
In commercial circles in large cities
where business is done in millions of dol
lars. TO indOrse a note for a few hun
bred, or a few thousand. is perhaps not
a great risk. But when a man by econ
omy and thrift has managed TO lay
aside several thousand dollars and COM
mits by stroke Of the pen the entire
sum to the destiny of a promissory
note, such person is wronging himself
and family by imperiling his little for
tune.
1T requires courage to say no to an
impOrtuning friend who thus seeks pc
cuniary aid. Better far have that cour-
age than run the risk OF being called
upon for its payment at maturity. 1t is
infinitely more hazardous than the loan
ing Of smaller sums which too frequent
ly are lost forever, but in learning to
refuse such commercial accommodations
a person may be said to have acquired
the fundamental principle of self-protec-
ton.
I'VE are taught the necessity OF say
ing no when tempted to commit a
wrong action. and are constantly eau
toned against 'buncoing' methods of
sharpers and tricksters who are always
on the alert for suitable material with
which to work. If more chapters were
written on the dangers of indorsing
commercial paper a large portion OF
rural and urban residents would be ben
Gifted many fold"

IrrientIon.

The Rural New Yorker calls atten-
ton to the fact that while the great ir-
rigation congress in California has at
tracted public attention, another smaller
convention that recently met at Salina
kas., we'll deserves mention. This was
a convention of farmers who must irri-
gate, if at all, by means Of pumps. The
larger convention dealt with vast
schemes and enterprises-the turning of
the waters Of rivers upon desert lands.
The farmers in the Kansas convention
are mostly removed from rivers, and
must obtain the water that stands in
the ground beneath them. Their work
is to find a power that will raise this
water so that It will flow back upon
the surface of the ground where the
plant roots need it, This sort Of irri-
cation appeals to nine out of every ten
farmers in the country from Colorado
to Maine. The cheap yet powerful en-
gines now perfected to run with gas.
kerosene or ordinary fuel, will enter
largely into the farming of the future,
and il is by no means unlikely that the
rivers that flow through our farms will
supply the electric power needed to
raise their own water for irrigation.

Clean Culture Of Corn.


The noted agricultural experimenter,
Henry Stewart, says:
1.-The past year have made one more
Of many experiments, tending to show
the results Of clean and frequent Guilt
walton of corn 1t is too commonly con-
sidered that the culture of this and
other similar crops is needed only to
keep down the weeds. And when the
weeds are subdued the corn will go on
and make a full crop without any more
attention. Thus the habit of laying
by the corn has come into practice
generally when the crop is so far ad-
vanced as to keep ahead OF the weeds.
If possible. or at least has vigor enough
TO grow in spite of them.
This / have always contended is a
mistake. The corn needs all the food
IL can get out of the land, and although
there may be no weeds to rob it, yet
the frequent culture of the land is in
d1spensible to the full supply of food
for the crop. The feeding roots of corn
are TO be found very near the surface.
have seen them exposed by washes,
between the rows, after heavy rain,
completely filling the ground and have
traced them across three rows on each
side Of the plant. This gives a spread
Of roots for at least nine feet on each
side the plant, and spreading in a fine
network not more than three inches
deep In the soil. It was this experience
which caused me to contend vigorously
against the practice once advised to
corn-growers, to prune the roots so that
new feeders might be forced into growth
and thus increase the vigor of the
plants. I never could understand how
the destruction of these active roots
could be otherwise than a serious check
and damage to the crop, by arresting
its growth at a most critical time, and
thus denounced the error as a delusiOn
and a snare. But ii fortunately had a
short life, and we hear nothing Of it

MONDAY EVENING, Jan.

MONDAY EVENING, jan s.
There is a better feeling in the wholesals
district today and business is reported as
improving in all branches Of trade. Tho
feature Of today's quotations is an adj
vance on all grades OF sugar. For mora
than a week prices have been declining and
the raise was not unexpected, although 1t
created some surprise among jobbers. All
grades are &c higher and an advance Of 10
on freight rates makes tOday's prices 26c
hundred higher than those on Saturday.
Coffees are firm at quotations, but should
the war troubles at Rio assume a more
serious aspect an advance is looked FOR et
any time. There is a demand for dryed
fruits and canned goods. Taken as q
whole. business among the wholesale gro
GERS is reported as satisfactory.
There is a better feeling In poultry and
the market has an upward tendency
Chickens advanced lc today. Butter and
eggs remain the same as Saturday, but the
market is stronger and prices may ad-
vance The market has been rather weak.
Apples are scarce and in demand and

Dry Iurrafn.

In answer to an inquiry DR.. Paaren
says:
Unlimited daily feeding upon coarse
and indigestible food. such as corn
stalks. withered grass or coarse grass in
seed, together with insufficient drinking
water, is not infrequently followed by
disastrous results. If the cattle must go
TO the corn stalk field, they should not
be allowed TO remain there more than
four hours daily; they should not enter
such field when hungry; they should
have an ample ration Of bran mash or
some similar loosening food material be-
fore going into the field; common lump
or stone salt should be kept before the
cattle in their she'd and they should
have access TO drinking water, morning
ing and night, and Immediately after
leaving the cOrnstalk field. BY strict adj
herence to these rules the danger re-
sulting from eating cornstalks or SINH
lar coarse, fibrous and unnutritious veg
citation may be reduced to minimum. .
