SO. keu SOrn vs.. ' Orn Meal.
Some of the experiments at the sta.
tons in the Western States, where the
use of corn for fattening purposes is the
all important question, seem to indicate
that soaking corn until 1t is swollen and
terminating gives nearly or quite as
good results, for hogs at least, as does
the same weight of corn meal. AS 1t
has been tried the results in favor of
the corn meal have not been enough to
pay the toll or price charged for grind
ing the corn. More thorough expert
ments are needed to decide the ques-
tion, however, and 1T may depend large
ly upon the cost of grinding. AS they
appear now, a man cannot afford to car
ry his corn five miles to be ground, If
1t is ground for nothing, or to pay a
heavy toll If he can have 1t ground at
home. But further investigation may
show that something will depend upon
the condition of the corn, time Of soak
ing brother points.

Old strawberry beds may be burned
over as soon as the leaves die off, and
by so doing many of the seeds will be
consumed. The bed should then be
mulched by covering with manure or
straw, but the mulch need not be APP
piled until cold weather comes. If the
old bed Is full of weeds it will not
yield satisfactorily next year, and to
burn 1t over will be an Improvement in

Count Leo Tolstoi says that the way
to end war is for men to refuse to
fight. There being no one to fight,
there could be no fighting. That is a
proposition that admits of no dispute.
On the same principle the way to end
all labor troubles would be for men
to stop working. 1t also applies to the
correction Of the divorce evil, men to
stop marrying. 1t solves the perplex-
ing servant girl question by the sug-
gestion, don't have servants. The
money question can best be settled by
not having any money. According to
the Tolstoi plan, all government qr,es-
tons that cause excessive wakefulness

any government. But men have a pur-
pose in working and war is not with.

Rains pre,dirg I'otnto Rot.
Whenever much rain falls before the
potato crop is dug; there is always more
or less rofting of the tubers. Most of
the new varieties set near the surface.
When digging those where the rains
have wet down to them will usually be
found badly rotted, while those that
have set lower down will be found en-
tirely sound. Most all of our new pota-
toes are punched in the hill and when
rot attacks one 1t spreads very rapidly
IL the wenther is warm and moist. For
this reason potatoes should be got out
early before heavy rains come, which
will carry the spores of disease down to
the bottom of the hill, If the land is we'll
drained, and none Others should be used
to grow potatoes on. Deep planting is
much better than shallow, as 1t will
cause fewer potatoes to set near the
surface.

RIVAL-BIDDING,

Pittsburg News: Mrs. Bargain-Hunter
dropped into an auction room. 1t was a
wet day, and the room was crowded by
persons who wanted dry footing and a
roof overhead. 1t was the crow that at
tracted Mrs. Bargain-Hunter. She did
not want anything in particular, but see-
ing the GROVE she came to the conclusion
that they must be selling very cheap, and
if there's anything that delights her heart
it is to buy things cheap, whether she
wants them or not. The auctioneer was
selling a lamp when she entered. 1t was
soon knocked down for 1915. Mrs. Barr
gain-Hunter was sure that it was worth
$40, if it was worth a cent. So when he
put up another, much nicer and worth
more than the one he had just sold, she
believed him when he said it could not be
bought for less than $25 in any store in
town. She had no use for the lamp, since
her house is lighted by electricity, and
since she has a collection of lamps that
are only used for ornamental purposes,
but she bid 81. The bids We're soon forced
up to Sc. SO, and then everybody dropped
out except Mrs. Bargain-Hunter and a
man at the other end of the room. The
contest between them was quite spirited.
They raj the bids up to SIG, and Mrs.
Bargain-Hunter was thinking seriously
of letting the mean man have the old
lamp. but it was such a pretty one. and
besides it is so humiliating to be outbid
in a public auction room. SO she con
tinued to bid, raising the bids of the man
25 cents each time. She had been raising
them so cents and she thought by drop
ping to 25 cents she would tire him out.
He stayed in the game until she bid 49, %.
Then he dropped out and she got the
lamp. She paid for it, gave her address
and ordered it to be sent 20 her home.
II dropped into an auction room today"
said her husband at dinner hat night,
and I saw a nice lamp put up, I'M L
could not resist bidding"
Then he noticed hat his wife was chok-
ing, and seemed to be i'll. He went to her.
What's. the matter, my dear?" he ask
ed tenderly: 'are you sick?" ~
"No-o, Wal-Walter,' she replied, I'm
not feeling very we'll, though. What was
that were saying about the lamp?'
ooh, nothing much" he said. "Only I
made a few bids on it and some bla me
fool of a woman was bidding against me.
1 bid until I knew it was far above it's
value. and then I let her have it. Served
her right, didn't I?'
Mrs. Bargain-Hunter said something,
but her husband didn't hear what it was,
and didn't care enough to ask. An ex-
press wagon stopped at Bargain-Hun-
ter's house the next day and a package
was left there. An hour later Mrs. Bars
gain-Hunter was on her way down town
in a street car with the package.
Passing a second hand store out Fifth
avenue yesterday. I noticed in the wid-
dow a pretty lamp marked: "Only $685.
worth $25."

liar to the first, except that the main
dwelling structure had been built upon
the plan of a hallow rectangle. the space
within having evidently been used as a
ceremonial court or dane plaza. Near
by, was a cemetery similar to that found
alongside the former ruin.
A third tradition led the party south
over what was said to be the trail
through which the lost race travelled dur
ing it's retreat toward the north. Here,
upon a hill of lava, was found a third
city, built in two sections, browning the
opposite edges of the hill and bearing in
dicatiOns Of having once been connected
ny a street. The usual cemetery was
close by. Here the graves were covered
by logs. a piece of lava being at the head
and foot of each.
A year ago DR.. Fewkes and DR.. Hough
began their excavations midway in the
trail joining Zuni and Tusayan and UNI
earthed a stu larger honeycomb struct,
ure representing a population quite as
large as that of ancient Troy. The cells
or houses. built in tiers, formed the city
walls, the whole resembling a double am2
pitheatre. To the east was a cemetery
filled with skeletons of the dead. The
pottery resembled that of the modern
Zuni more than that of the Hopi. Sur
ship containing carved fetiches. Tracing
another tradition of the Hopi's, the ext
plorers went thirty-five miles SOUTH;
where another collection of houses and
another cemetery Were found. The pre-
historic inhabitants had evidently NUNS
bered about five hundred. -
These excavated ruins are but samples
OF many more waiting beneath the soil of
this region for the archaeologist's pick
and spade to bring them once more to
the light. Near by, DR.. Fewkes has To-
Gated tons of buried treasure, doubtless
eclipsing any archaeological find ever
made within the boundaries of the Uni
ted States. The bulk of this lies in what
might be named 1.-The valley of DEATH"
located south of the White Mountains of
Arizona, between Mount Graham and
the Bonita Mountains, on the upper Gila
river. Centuries ago this valley was
densely populated. An ancient people
not only inhabited it's level portions, but
cultivated it's fertile mountain sides. Re-
mains of their plantations marked by
corlerstones can be traced for miles.
There are also remains of irrigating dit
ches. through which the water has been
carried long distances across the plains,
and large reservoirs in which water has
been stored. These wonderful people.
who centuries ago seemed to have solved
the irrigation problem, appear to have
numbered at least fifty thousand in this
valley alone. Their settlements were de-
serted long before the advent of the
Spanish. DIR. F'ewkes may remain in the
field all winter.
