The Subsidy Policy.

"Why not substitute farm wagonS?"
queries the Chicago Tribune. Why
not, to be sure? The farmer who hauls
his produce to market in a wagon is
just as much entitled to a subsidy as
the manufacturer who hauls his goods
TO market in a ship of his own. If men
are entitled to a subsidy for sailing
ships carrying,cargoes for the mar, who
holds the lines over a team of horses
attached to a farm wagon filled with
grain is equally entitled to a subsidy.
There is no difference between them
so far as equal right to subsidy is con-
cerned. If the goods-laden schooner
that plows the main is entitled to a
subsidy, then the human-laden schoon-
er that plows the prairies is equally en-
titled to a subsidy. If the ship owner
is to be paid for investing in a profit
able business, then the wagon owner
is entitled to a subsidy for engaging in
the profitable business of hauling grain
to market. The whole subsidy grab
game is q gigantic steal worked for the
benefit of a few at the expense of the
many.
But why is the Chicago Tribune OBJ
jecting to the ship subsidy steal? 1t
knew when it was advocating the re-
election of William Mckinley and the
election of a republican congress that
It.
the ship subsidy steal would be per-
petrated. Yet despite this knowledge
the Chicago Tribune worked earnestly
TOT republican success and hurled all
tne anthemas and revilling it could
think of at those who opposed the re-
publican party and its program Of cor
ruptloD, stealing, Imperialism and
bounty grabbing.-World-H Herald.

1t is a truism that children ask many

1t is a truism that children ask many
questions that grown-up folks are un-
able to answer. The
juvenile world, it
seems, is also ex-
pected in these times to solve problems
that would be too much for their elders.
Here are some of the prize questions
submitted to the school children of
Maryland by the lecture committee of
the Children's Playground association.

A Connellsville (Pa.) report tells
about a nan who was taken into the
county hospital there a few days ago
with a fractured skull and some of
his brains kicked out by a fractions
horse. The man, says the report,
brought the scattered brains with
him in a paper bag with the intention
OF saving them. The report does not
state whether the brains were restored
to the mans skull or not, but the sup
position is quite natural that if they
were the man is liable to break out
some day with the notion that there is

Iowa Butter OUTPUT LIGHT.

Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 6.-State
Dairy Commissioner Norton has issued
a report on the butter shipments Of
Iowa for 1900, in which he shows that
whereas the creameries increased from
1854 to 994 in the pounds shipped in the
year were $3.50, 1874, while in 1899 they
were 81, 26,55a. The decrease is due
to the fact that the young COWS have
been sold for meat on account of high
prices instead of being held for milk.

a Washington correspondent writes

Value of Shade Trees.

Trees have IL distinct value on II place
and add greatly to the enjoyment of
the farm as a home aud also to it's sell
ing value. The worth of IL we'll grown
tree will differ in different localities, of
course and there are few places in
the west, comparatively treeless as the
prairies are, where trees are worth us
much as i'll the Eastern States. In IL
recent lawsuit in Niagara County. New
York, Il TOW OF Shade trees had been
destroyed in front of Il country home
by the building OF Il: trolley line, and
expert testimony was called to settle
their value. The trees had been plant
ed twenty-siN years and we're mostly
maple. The testimony showed thir-
teen of them to be worth 500 each,
nine We're worth $G5 each and Il few
others were appraised at $125 each.
These values We're not reduced by the
testimony of the defendant company
that had destroyed the trees. AS n
country grows older adornments of this
kind become more valuable because
more appreciated and it would be hard
to predict what q good, well-located
shade tree would be worth twenty-six
years hence.

Distance Apart of Corn Hills.


When We We're young we We're taught
to make the burrows for corn hills -four
feet apart each way, but later on we
decided that So feet each way was bet
ter. as giving many more hills to the
acre, and afterwarl when truck farm
ing We put sweet corn 81. feet apart
one way and three the other for all but
the large evergreen varieties, and we
found it to produce just as many ears
to the hill and to fill them out Just as
well us when We used more space. We
manured literally. had the wide rows
run nearly north and. south to let the
sun in. and used the cultivator only
II way. The difference between the
last method and the first II WAS the
difference between 16 square feet to a:
hill and 11A square feet. or We had
3,7S7 hills to the acre instead of 2.72o.
a gain of 1,OG5 hills or nearly 81 half
acre. We never weighed the crop or
counted the ears to know the actual
gain in production, but our observation
convinced us that there was Il gain in
the closer planting. Ii anyone has
made or will make the test carefully

Egg Eating.

A recent Canadian government re-
port advocates %beheading as the best
remedy for e%gg-eating. This plan is
too radical. Often e%gg-eating hens will
be cured simply by furnishing dark
nests. At other times, the cause of the
habit is thin-shelled eggs, and feeding
oyster shells will stop it. Furnishing
animal food, especially chopped veal,
is sometimes a cure. In some cases
the fault is confined to two or three
hens in the flock, and removing them
will prevent the habit from spreading.
