mass of turned down corn stalks or
corn stubble the plants wilted and
died, and, on Investigation, the soil
around the roots of those corn stalks
was found perfectly dry, with not 9
particle of soil water in evidence.
The stalks and stubble below the
turned earth had not rotted but had
created and held space that pre-
vented the capillary water in the soil
below from. reaching the soil above.
Perhaps the land in question was
not plowed till after the spring rains
had ceased. The one question to be
considered is whether the stubble and
stalks plowed under will mix with the
soil and rot or whether conditions are
such that the burrows will simply lie
free from the subsoil, being held uE
by means of the dry condition of its
top and the presence Of the stubble.
In ordinary years the conditions are
such that the turning under can be
done with safety, but in occasional!
years it is best to burn. Farm, FielC

Men who charge with a Smile.

The me1tion of Kansas reminds me
of remark that General Mac Arthur
made to me, when we passed group
of Kansas men one day at San Fer
nando. asked him ii they had not
been peculiarly daring. "Yes," he
said, "those fellows will put tooth
brush through their hat-band and
charge with smile straight to king.
dom come, if it is necessary; but, !"
added General Macarthur, "they are
inst the type of what all the rest of
the soldiers out here are
That phrase, charging with smile, I"
is not fanciful one, but the state
ment of truth. / saw General I aw-
ton order the Twelfth regulars to
charge at Taytay. The defenses of
this stronghold were known to be ex-
cellent, and it was also supposed that
about 5000 of the best soldiers in the
Filipino army were behind the in
trenchments. Desultory firing had
been going OH. A little time before
two men had been killed-shot through
the head, on the very spot where Gen
eral Lawton stood when he ordered
the charge. 1t was across an open
space, perhaps third of a mile, and
on level ground, interrupted only by
little rice ridges. The men charged
with smile.
The same phenomena has been no.
ticed time and again. Some say it is
kind of grin. I think not. 1t
looked to me more like smile of real
pleasure. Fortunately, ip this in
stance, the Filipinos had, few min
utes before, evacuated, and no casual
ties resulted at that time. -Philadel-

The Force of Heredity.

A college professor in Maine tells
how he convinced friend, who did
not believe that beavers could build
lams. He bought baby beaver of a
hunter and sent it to his skeptical
friend.
The creature became great, pet in
the house, but showed no signs of
wanting to build dam, until one
Monday morning leaky pail, full of
water was put on the floor of the back
kitchen. The beaver was there. He
was only a baby to be sure, but the
moment he saw the water oozing out
of crack in the pail he scampered
into the yard, brought in a chip and
began his work.
His owner was called and watched
the little fellow, very much astonished
at what he saw. He gave orders to
have the pail left where it was, and
the industrious beaver kept at his
work four weeks, when he had built a
solid dam all around the pail.

Far down in Southwestern Arizona,
near Sonora, on the Mexican border,
there is range OF mountains which
appears to have but one face of hard,
smooth granite. The top of this bunch
of mountains is in the form of gigan-
tic basiu Here the rainfall has been
gathering for ages, until quite an ex-
tensive lake is the result.
The overthrow tumbles into ar other
basin below, and SO on through a
series OF nine, the last one being near
the ground and on the direct road
from Yuma to Sonora. The lower
tanks are easy Of access and are often
drained by travellers and animals.
The great upper tank can only be
approached by circuitous aud difficult
climbing. To stranger standing be-
low, the upper lake, OF course, has no
existence. In that plain below are
over 23o graves. Scores of human
beings, famishing for water, have ex-
pended their last strength in reaching
this spot, only to find the lower tanks
dry; aad, ignorant OF the great upper
lake, where thousands of gallons were
to be had for little climbing, have
LAID down in despair to die. Later
travellers passing have buried the un-
knowns' remains. and always MARKED
the grave, Mexican fashion, by cross
of stones.

A Very Emmy Force.

Electricity is funny force" said
the observant motorman to his con-
iuctor as he boarded his car at the
Woodland avenue barn. ''The other
night nearly all the current was sud-
denly cut off from the wires in the
barn, and after minute came on
again. Soon an odor like that of an
overcooked dinner filled the power
house. On examination two chickens
were found slowly roasting to death
on the main wire. For hours the
feathered pair had rested in safety on
separate wires. The minute Chan
ticler reached across to give a good
night kiss to his dear Biddy, on an
opposite wire, deadly current was
forced through their bodies, and hence
the odor of roasting chicken" ."-Phila.

Shall stubb,e he Turned Under.

The answer will depend on the con-
ditions of the stubble land, and
amount of stubble, and whether it can
be turned under early enough to se-
cure rotting before the drouth of mid
summer sets in. Generally turning
ander the stubble proves the best
.hing that can be done, but the
Sriter has known cases where it
proved the worst thing that could
nave been done. One man in Michi-
gan turned under his stubble one
spring only few years ago, and after
properly narrowing and preparing the
ground, planted it to corn. The
spring was exceptionally dry, and the
summer that followed was not much
oetter. The corn crop on that field
Of turned stubble proved very uneven.
Wherever the corn came in contact
with the bottom of the burrows the
stand was as fair as could have been
expected in dry year. But whe e

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Reasons for Keeping Bees.

The farmer should keep bees be-
cause they work for nothing and
board themselves, only requiring q
house 10 live in. Because there is SO
much surplus nectar which the bees
can convert into honey. The farmer
can exchange the honey for money
after he has set 100 pounds of it aside
for family use. Because honey is the
only product on the farm which will
not spoil if not hurried to market.
Because bees will pay a better revenue
FER acre than any other department OF
agriculture. Because only little
capital is needed to make start. The
number Of hives can be increase l very
fast. Now is the time to get ready
for next spring. Study up during
the evenings and be ready to put
your knowledge into practice when
the time comes.

Treatment of a Lawn,

Nothing adds more to the appear
ance of home than neat, well-kept
lawn. 1t is within the range of possi-
biity for every house owner to secure
good stand OF grass, and to keep the
growth strong and healthy by line
of treatment which is by no means
difficult. The first essential is to have
n we'll. prepared bed. A good plan is
to make compact bed of clay and
then improve this by top dressing.
Nothing is better for this purpose
than raw ground bone. This will
serve as bedding, and also furnish
some of the plant food needed tc
nourish the grass. In choosing o
grass one must be governed largely by
local conditions, but the aim should
be to get kind which will grow we'll,
last Well and look we'll throughout the
spring and summer months.
1t is just as necessary to fertilize
lawns as field crops. Grasses need
the same elements of plant food,
namely, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash. 1t is better to supply such in
the form of chemicals, as these are
more concentrated and easier to han
die, not to mention that they are less
offensive and not unsightly in appear
pearance. Stable manure is splen-
did fertilizer for grass, but lawn
covered with this product in early
spring does not look especially invit-
ing. Again, in using stable manure
there is always possibility Of foreign
hain in{
growth of which detracts from the
appearance of the lawn and makes
trouble in eradicating them.
The simplest fertilizer for lawn is
a mixture of ground bone and muriate
of potash, say. about four parts of the
former to one OF the latter. The mix
lure may be applied at the rate of five
pounds per square rod, and then
worked we'll into the soil. After this
mixture has been applied, simple
decentralization treatment will great
ly improve the growth of the grass,
and give it that rich, dark green color
which is SO desirable in lawn culture.
This consists simply in light top
dressings of nitrate of soda, say one
half pound per square rod, at success
sive periods. The first dose can be
put on just after the grass starts to
grow in the spring, aad if used i'm
mediately preceding q rain, the effects
will be visible within "a hours. Two
more doses can be made at periodical
intervals. If the nitrate be mixed
with several times its bulk of fine, dry
earth, the distribution is greatly facil-
itated. Regular moving with lawn
mower is necessary. and the fertilizer
treatment recommended should be
followed annually. George X. Will

To outwlt Manila Ants.

A Washington mill has taken an
order from the United States govern
ment for 500, 900 feet of cedar for
use at Manila. The first government
buildings were built of fir, but the
white ants which infest that country
ate it with apparent relish, and with
so disastrous effects to the buildings
that cedar will be substituted, it being
claimed that the ants will not attack
cedar. 1t is also claimed by some
that hemlock is antproof. Should
this fact be proved, the question of O
market for hemlock has been solved,

On one occasion mau from Georgia
had been persistent in personal ap-
plication to General Lee for fu--
lough. One morning the General
asked his tormentor if he understood
tie position of soldier. The latte
said he did. He was ordered to
assume it. General Lee then gave
the command. 'Right about faces
forward march" As he never gave
the command to ''halt." the Georgian
kept on marching until he got tired;
but this little hint cured him, and his
next application was through the
usual channels.

The Dairynen's Mistakes.

Probably the first and greatest mis-,
take is that the dairyman fails to make
the best of his environment. Possibly
he does not have as good cows as his
neighbors, but he should make the
best use possible of what he has. He
should keep them better and raise
more grain, thus lessening the .ex-
pense OF maintaining his herd. Grair
is very costly in this part OF the coun-
try and ought always to be raised il
possible. He should not make the
mistake of keeping too many cows.
Discard the poor ones of the her and
give the remainder better sta,les.
better feed and use more care in hand
ling the milk I do not believe with
many that the profits Of the dairy are
smaller than they used to be. We
have gotten into the habit of shipping
milk, which may be more profitable
for the time being, but am afraid of
the final outcome. In my section we
have q condensirg factory which pays
well for milk and con onsequently sup
plying this factory is paying busi-
ness.
Another mistake is that dairymen
depend too much upon buying cows to
repleuish their herd, instead of rails
ing them. can raise good calf on
middlings, water and oil meal, and
have raised calves on bread and water.
can raise calf very much cheaper
than / can buy COW. Up to the time
she is two years old she will cost me
but SIS, and as a rule is much better
than COW which is bought on the
market for S35 to $40.
Another mistake is in having milk
shipping stations inside the village.
would have them outside for the rea-
son that it is ca sier to keep the milk
pure if it is away from buildings.
Another great mistake is the failure
to treat the COW with kindness. Any
thing that disturbs her nervous con-
dition will lessen the flow of milk.
Make her comfortable by good bed
ding, goo stable and the like. Never
scold OF swear at cow.-J. S. Shat
