SHORT STOPS.

What the People Are Saying.
There is a story in the bible about
the destruction of the wicked city or
Sodom and Gomorrah, that has some
application to the late city election.
II seems that two angels visited
Lott who resided near the gates or the
wicked city, his house was beseiSed
Ivy some of the hOOdlum voters, who
demanded that Lott turn his guests
over to them, which he politely refus-
ed to do: then the angels required that
4 messenger be sent into the city TO
lind if there were fifty righteous men
in it: they returned and reported that
there were not that many good yOt-
els.
Then after petition, the angels
agreed if there were fOrty-tive they
would not destroy the place, and final
~ came down to ten, but that number
failing SOdOm was doomed.
Our city saved its reputation; there
were at least 80 all right voters.

snrinr Grain Among Wheat.

To the Middle State farmer who
grows winter wheat the scattering
spring grain which grows among wheat
is q nuisance. Hence he usually
plows or harrows his spring grain
sstubble as soon as possible after tue
crop is harvested, SO as to have the
grains germinato early and be de-
stroyed by subsequent cultivation.
But the far Western farmer who grows
wheat looks on the matter very dltter-
emily. The danger to his crop is that
winter blizzards will blow all the SOIL
away from his wheat. The spring
grain makes larger leaf than does the
Wheat. If it occupies the soil, it pro
tects the wheat plant beside 1t, and as
the spring grain is killed by winter ,i
freezing, it does not prevent, pu' 1a1
rather aids, the later growth OF the
winter grain: THUS 1t often happens
that Western farmers SOW spring grain
with their wheat as q protecton to J.
from winter blizzards. This woult
never be. done by Eastern farmers, wht
would find the spring grain an inlur.

1,taoo,nr Newly plowed Land.

When land Is plowed for winter
grain after midsummer it needs oil the
moisture \ that the soil has when plowea,
and good deal more, to make good
seed bed. The turning of the iurroW
exposes a much larger surface to the
air, besides making hollow beneath,
which also helps to dry ont tho sou
above it. Early in spring, when the
land is cold, this large exposure to the
mir, which is then warmer than the
soil, may bebenefcial. Even then we ":
never wanted to let the furrow lie
more than one or two days without
putting in the harrow to break up
clods formed by the plow, and which,
if they dried in that state, could not
be made into good seed bed that sea-
son. But in late summer if it Is neces,
sary to plow, the rough furrow should

Money In Turkeys.

AS far as my observations 60, writes
R: W: Davidson, of New jersey, there
is more money in turkeys than in chick
ems. Many people believe that tur-
KEYS are delicate and hard to raise:
This is true as they ore usually bred
and yet turkeys are net difficult to raise 81, Q
if they are properly managed: Inc
causes of the great mortality in tur-
KEYS are in breeding, dampness, lice
and improper food, Inbreeding is the
greatest evil. This degenerates the
stock and then the lice usually put a
stop 10 all further development. These
two evils are worse than dampness OF
improper feed. Never breed from an
inferior or undeveloped gobbler and
never breed from the same gobbler
more than one year unless the same
breeding hens ore also retained TOR an,
other season. Young hens, if hatched
early, will begin to lay earlier and lay
more eggs than old ones, yet the OLD
ones make the :,est breeders. Tur'
KEYS are proftabls until four or i've
wears old. Do not inbreed, even for
single season. 1t is far better to ex'
mend a few dollars for a new gobble'
unless, as remarked above, the same
breeders are retained for another sea-
son. :,
If hen turkeys are not allowed tc
sit they will lay from thirty to Sixty
eggs in a season. If one becomes
broody, shut her up for three or lou
days and in week she will be layln!t
again. In summer making growth

The Necessities of Life in Alaska Have

The necessities of life in Alaska gold
fields has already begun to express It
self in trade relations. From every
traveller to that inhospitable land.
there is a demand for compressed
foods. Transportation is exceedingly
difficult and expensive, and the saving
of every pound of weight IN things
carried over glaciers and mountain
masses through snowbanks and rocky
paths, is almost equal to a pound OF
gold dust. The manufacturer and
scientist cook are, therefore, studying
how to compress various kinds OF 1000

mand from the far north.

and for years wanted everything OF
the nature of food put up in the
smallest possible limits. Something
has been done in this field, botn a.
home and abroad.
The Germans compress cabbage until
It is nearly as hard as bale OF COM
nressed hay. Potatoes have been de-
siccated and compressed in France un-
til they filled only one-quarter OF the
space they required in their normal
condition. The beef extracts are an
other illustration of what can be done,
esnecially those which have been con-

glue-like solid.
In the north they compress animal
foods by mixing meat cut up with lara
or suet, and with this mixture fill large
skins or tins. 1t is known as pemmi-
can. and is a valued treasure to every
northern explorer. The japanese are
very skilful in drying and condensine
