DO NOT Pillow TOO DEEP.

In a paper read before the Allen
County (Kan.) Farmers Institute, on
the subject of Modern Sub-soiling,"
Clarence ]. Norton said: Deep sub
soiling should not be attempted at
first. Three good horses are sufficient,
and one can hire it done for 81 per
acre. The harder the plow pulls the
more the soil needs breaking up, so
persevere and you will be rewarded.
/ will liken sub-soiling to two flower
pots, one-half full Of sand or gravel,
the other half full of hard cement, with
both pots filled UP with soil. Now fill
10th pots up with water, and the ques-
ton is, which pct will evaporate out
its moisture contents first.
Professor Milton Whitney, United
States soil moisture expert. in speaking
OF eastern Kansas says: wherever a
drop of rainwater flows off of the
plowed field, it is an indication that the
soil is not in proper physical condi-
ton. Where this occurs in q dry soil,
the main preparation of the soil should
be as deep as possible, SO that water
may be carried down and thus dimin-
ish the rapidity of the evaporation and
loss from the surface. Sub-soi,ing win
be found invaluable in opening up the
close and compact subsoil. A farmer
can tell whether his soil needs sub
soiling by noticing whether any water
flows off of the surface of his plowed
fields or not
This paper has limit, and cannot
possibly tell all the benefits derived
from the use of the sub-soil plow; but
to Allen County farmers will say: If
your dead burrows will not prove as
good corn rows as any other rows,
your soil will be benefited by sub-soil-
ing.

ALL RIGHT IN THE END.

Your heart is bowed with transient
grief,
Your eyes are misty With tears;
There's a sorrow deep and there's no
relief
Ahead in the maze of years.
So IL seems 10 you as you weep to-day,
Yet sorrow may be your friend;
So keep up your courage a while and
pray,
Twill come out right In the end.
There never was day so dark and drear
But that, ere the sands had run,
The clouds would shift and the heavens
clear
To the smiling face of the sun.
There never was cruel stab or blow
Inflicted by foe or friend
But there was a balm, God willed it
Twill come out right in the end.
There never was love so cruelty
wronged
Or throttled by vengeful lies,
But time atoned for the joys you
longed,
And love that was crushed would
rise.
Q, heart, rise up from the slough's de-
spond,
Your faith must not swerve or bend;
Let hope be pinned above and beyond =
Twill come out right in the end.

Neglected Drugs.

On the analysis of $1,000 prescEp-
tons recently made by Prof. Patch,
President of the American Pharmaceu-
teal Association, it was shown that the
pharmacopoeia was sadly neglected by
physicians. Only seventeen vegetable
drugs were prescribed, and more than
100 drugs OF vegetable origin neg
lected. Ten metals were honored. but
more than ten were left ont in the cold.
In the study of 217000 prescriptions
from nineteen drug stores distributed
IN Chicago. Philadelphia, Bayonne,
New York, Boston, Washington, Bal
timore, Denver, San Francisco, New
Orleans. Cincinnati, and st. Louis,
i1.25 per cent. were proprietary arti-
cles, not including many elixirs, pills,
tablets, frad extracts, etc. which were
os.specifed manufacture.

Temperature Of the Polar Sea.

Some of the members of the Nansen
expedition at Tromsoe have been re-
lating to Reuters correspondent some
of the scientific facts CLEANED during
the expedition. During the course Of
the cruise the crew had ON several oc-
caslons exciting encounters with bears.
North of "a degrees. however. no AMI.
NAL Fife was found to exist, and this
would seem to cast some discredit on
the hitherto prevalent theory that IL a
sufficiently high latitude could be at
tanned, one would come to dry land and
open water, because birds are to be
seen flying toward the extreme north.
This northerly flight of the birds is
now believed TO be attributed to their
having lost their way or being blown
out of their course. The depth of the
water in the extreme north also seems
to indicate that there can be no land
near. Soundings taken at s4 degrees
latitude gave a depth Of from 1910 to
1880 fathoms, and further north the
lead reached even greater depths, as
much as 3,1S6 fathoms, ii is said. From
observations made In 1S9496, the tenn
perature OF the sea in these regions was
found 20 present several peculiarities.

was cold. Then came stratum OF
about 3s2 fathoms with some degree of
heat. and under this stratum about 400
fathoms of cold water. The proper
ton OF salt in the water varied a good
deal. These conditions We're pretty
much the same everywhere. The fur

SUGGESTIONS AS TO SHEEP.

Whatever is given to sheep should be
given with regularity. Once used to
anything, sheep fret il they are put off
even. This applies to feeding, and
every other part of the management
of a flock.
Don't neglect the salt, says the Sheep
Breeder. This is not only indispensa-
bic to the full digestion of the food, but
it is a specific agent against the many
parasites Of the sheep, especially the
fatal fiuke and the throat worms.
Wool will keep in the best condition
when stored in somewhat damp place.
The best place is a dry sub-cellar half
above the ground, and that may be well
aired. When too dry wool is harsh to
feel, and brittle, and loses it's natural
softness and curl.
Have few lamb steps about the pas
lures, into which the lambs may
squeeze themselves, but the sheep can.
not, and there they should find a little
but regular supply of the most nutri-
tious food. Linseed oil cake, with a
little molasses mixed, will be especially
desirable.
1t is sometimes the case that the
focks are shorn twice year. Where
this custom prevails the stock rams
should not be sheared. 1t is matter
of experience that this shearing inter-
feres with the ability of the ram TO get
lambs, and there Is a notable number of
misses in the ewes.
1t is time, too, to be beginning the
feeding. The special ram breeder must
do this at once, separating the best
made lambs, and, as they are weaned,
feed this flock by themselves, so as u
give them the best chance to make the
earliest matured and finest finished
sheep. This to the breeders.
If You try rape as an experiment, be
sure TO watch the cabbage worm,
which, if not prevented, will make a
filthy. disgusting mass of rubbish that
e starved sheep would smell Of, and
then choose TO turn away and die OF
starvation. But don't figure on fatten-
Ing sixteen sheep on ole acre"

Tho Earth's Momentum.

The opinion is expressed by a writer
In Casters Magazine that no true en-
gineer will believe that, with 30 many
sources of natural energy around US.
the progress Of mankind and the work
OF the engineer will cease with the ex-
haustlon of the coal fields. The very
earth we live on is whirllng around like
a huge fywheel, and, If only some
way could be found for utilizing ito
vast momentum, we could draw upon
1t for ages for all the power needed,
without appreejably affecting the speed
Of it's revolution or the length Of our
day. The flow OF the time Is accom-
panied by vast expenditure Of power
In overcoming fricfional resistance, ia

In the transport Of sandbanks from

DRINKING FOUNTAIN.

The cleanest and cheapest home
made drinking fountain Is constructed
as follows: Take an empty fruit can.
and with d wire nail or sharp end of a
file, make a hole through the tin can
about one-fourth to one-half inch from
the open end; fill the can with clean
fresh water, place a saucer upside down
on the filled can and turf them upside
down on the level ground. This with
leave the can setting upside down in
the saucer, and the saucer will stand
full of water up to the hole in the can.
This is the incest way to water chick
ems, and is economical. They cannot
get into it with their feet, and it runs
out only as fast as they drink it. This
should be tried now.-The Silver
knight.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Don't fail to divide the buttermilk be
tween Biddy and the pigs; she relishes
it as much as they.
See that good supply Of leaves, cut
straw, sawdust or other scratching
material is laid in for winter.
Don't think bantams are too small
to be of any account. Give them proper
care and they will lay more eggs in
proportion to their size than good
many Of the large breeds.
Don't forget that generous dose OF
fall blowing is the best preventive OF
weeds. 1t exposes and destroys the
roots of countless weeds which would,
ii sheltered under ground over winter,
attack the young crops early in the
spring.
Though one-third Of the manure heap
be insoluble or otherwise lost, it has
more value than most farmers think.
1t is said that q well-fed horse of aver.
age size will deposit seven tons of solid
and liquid manure during year, worth
$40; COW one-haH more.
During the fall and early winter is
one of the best times to haul out and
apply manure in the orchard. When
this is done it should be scattered
broadcast over the surface, taking
pains to scatter evenly. 1t is very es-
sential to have rich soil in order to
grow fine fruit.
Although corn will likely sell at a
ruinously low price, it win pay to sort
the cribs so that the bulk may not
mould. The soft, wet and half rotten
ears can be spread out on the barn
floor or overhead in the crib and fed
first, when it will be eaten better than
If left in bulk until later in the season.
Before applying manure every far
nler should first study the soil and find
out what it needs-what it is deficient
in to raise certain crops, and after be
has settled this it is time to decide
what manure to use. Reading and ex.
perjmenting-that is scientific farming
gives. the best profits and most salts
faction. Indeed, it is the only farming
in which there is any money to-day.
In order to grow good orchard, as
well as to secure the best returns from
one already grown, 1T is essential tina,
more or less work be done every year.
Nearly all growing trees will be the
better for protection from rabbits In
the fall. This should always be given
in good season, as after hard frost In
the fall there is danger every night,
and it is not only safest, but best, to
give protection In good season.

FIELDING IURNlIS YIN Ihfl LAND.
While English farmers find it easy to
train their-sheep to eat out the inside
Of turnips and rutabagas on the
ground as they grew, this practice
would never be tolerated here. Eng
lish winters are SO mild that the tur-
nip does not freeze to hurt 1t. Here
alternate freezing and thawing quickly
ruins its feeding qualities. We doubt
whether the method is economical,
even for England. The turnips.mus be
badly sOiled in the mud while being
eaten, and a sheep is very easily turned
away from the best food when there is
little dirt attached to it.-Boston Gull

especially the one In which to weed out
Improbable animals. The care and cost

especially the one In which to weed out
Improbable animals. The care and cost
of wintering poor stock is improbable
and expensive. Such animals consume
more than their worth in feed before
spring weather has put pastures in a
condition suitable for turning stock OH
them. The time to dispose of poor
stock is the earliest moment pur-
chaser for it may be found. or it can be
disposed of for the shambles. If COW
is not doing more than paying her way.
1t her for the butcher.
Old oxen and undesirable younger
stock, il unstable, should be similarly
disposed of. Flocks of sheep should be
oulled of aged ewes, and those also with
blemishes, as bad mouths and foot all
ments. Brood sows. that have passed
the period of usefulness or are undesir-
able for any other reason should be dis
posed Of. And the same rule applies to
horses; they are expensive if they are
not earning their keep. Clean out poor
poultry and start in with better stock
in the spring. Thus great deal of La
hor will be saved during the winter as
well as feed. 1t is business; and this is
the time to apply the best business
methods on the farm.
At this season, too, 1t Is wise to sur
vey the field Of the live stock industry
and mark well the situation. 1t is a
judicious thing for the farmer to ask
;,,neolS mi, 4 m. d,a ia lyoovs;,ey and m TO-
ing the most profitable, for instance, to
inquire what kind of hogs are NEST in
demand by packers. 1t goes without
saying that the packer will pay a better
price for the hogs that suit him than for
such as do not. 1t is well to bear in
rlind that the day Of the lard hog Is
passing away, and that an animal with
larger percentage of lean is now in
demand. At the recent meeting of Kan
sas swine breeders at Wichita, a prom
inent packer, by request, presented this
view and offered some other sugges-
tons with reference to the require
uents Of packers.
These matters are Of interest to all
swine breeders and raisers, for they
mnst cater to the wants Of buyers to
get the most money for their hogs. 1t
is not whine or caprice Of packers,
but question of business. 1t may be
advisable for numbers Of farmers in
culling their herds and flocks to con-
slider the subject with reference to max
ing changes in breeding stock, and con-
forming to. the requirements Of the
markets in every branch OF the live
stock industry. Keep only the best.
Increase the value of flocks and herds
by using good blood.

CHINA STOPPED THE TRAIN.
A Monkey thai Discovered a Rare
Way of Having Fun.

China" a large African monkey, who
performs several acts in the Gentry snow,
has quarters in a large car IN which Fro
fessor Gentry's animals travel. This car
is one of the train that is used to trans
port the show. Several weeks ago when
the company was running from Knoxville
to Louisville the train suddenly came TO a
stop. Inquiry by the train offlcials as to
it's cause ~divulged no Tn
train proceeded and had hardly gone more
than a mile when it suddenly stopped again.
The engineer declared that he received the
customary signal from the bell cord to stop,
and in obedience to it had done SO. The
train hands made another effort to find out
who the miscreant was, and being OF the
opinion that some one was INDUCING in a
joke at their expense, inquired OF every one
on the train, and all stoutly protested their
innocence. The conductor instructed all
the brakemen TO go to the rear end or the
train, thinking possibly that some tramps
might be riding there. On his way through
the cars where the ponies are kept a brake
man turned around just IN time 70 see
China grab the bell cord ana pull II Vlg-
orously, in obedience to which the train
came 10 a sudden stop. rms time, now
ever, the brakeman hurried FORWARD ana
explained the cause, and emma was lnme-
diately chained up, much 10 ms cndSrll.
He had enjoyed the humor OF the thing I'M
mensely. having found out that by pulling
the cord the train would stop suddenly and
cause the ponies to fall against each other,
which he considered very humorous. The
following day when the cars We're standing
on the sidetrack i'm Louisville, emma had
his liberty again. He suddenly jumped up,
grabbed the cord and pulled it again. This
time. however, there was no commotion and
he looked inquiTingly first at the ponies n
then at the rope. Thinking perhaps the
ponies were not awake he ran down over
their backs, causing each one, TO start.
Satisfying himself beyond a doubt that it
was not the ponies fault, he grabbed the
rope again, but as before there were no re-
suits. He looked greatly perpieXed and
could not seem TO understand 1t. Failing
in his attempt to annoy the ponies, he
turned his attention to a group of small
boys, who were standing outside of the
car door, and amused himself by grabbing
their hats. China is an exceptionally large
monkey, and also exceedingly clever. lie is
a veritabIe imp of mischief, never. gets
tired of having sport, and enjoys full lib
erty except when the train is running.
Owing to the Indictment weather of the
past week and to the demand for admit.
lance H. b. Gentry, the trainer OF the
dogs, ponies and monkeys, has decided to
entertain amusement goers for five more
performances, comprising Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, with matlnees On

CONCERTS IN THE PARKS.
Mems Movement to Secure
"a Series.

A number of Indianapolis business men
are agitating the scheme recently rejected
by the City Council Of giving a series of
summer night concerts in the city parks.
A few days ago a letter signed by John
H. Holiday, w. c. Hobbs, j. c. Adams, d.
NJ. Parry and D. P. Erwin, was addressed
to one hundred representative business men
of the city, calling attention to a meeting
to be held at the Commercial Club next
Wednesday night for the purpose of con-
sidering the band concert project. 1t is the
plan Of the men interested in the scheme to
give a series of concerts in the city parks
for a season of ten weeks, the idea being
to nave three or four concerts a week.
Military Park, st. Clair Park, University
Square and GarfieldHPaFk are all available
for this purpose. Tt Is estimated that the
cost Of giving this entertainment for the
season would be between $500 and $1,000.
1t is the intention to ask each of these one
hundred business men to subscribe a fixed
sum to the expense fund. The concerts
would begin the middle of June and con-
tinue until late in August.
