Soil Particloa

A number of years ago experfmen
were made at John Hopkins Univer-
sity to determine how many particles
there are in a gram Of loan soil, The
result was rather startling from q
mathematical standpoint 1t was con-
cluded that there are in that amount
OF soil S,740,O00.00 particles. We do
not know the process by which this
conclusion was arrived at, but GER
tainly it was not by actual count,
however, the result was doubtless ap-
proxlmately correct. The number is
lar beyond human comprehension. For
thls reason we are never able to fully
realize the principles of capillary at-
traction Each one OF these exceed
lngly minute particles is surrounded
by film OF water still more minute
as TO its thickness, but bet%een any
TWO particles there is minute space
nlled with air, and these spaces exist
everywhere above the water level in.
the soil. When these spaces are filled
WIN water the roots OF most of our
larm crops cannot take food, but will
rot. The necessity for admitting air
10 the soil is thus apparent. Stirring
tnese SOIL PARTICLES pushes them so far
apart that the water films are not con-
tlnuous from one particle to another,
and the evaporation is thus stopped
I'LL the particles again settle back to
more compact arrangement.

Kafr Corn.

Whether or not it will pay a man to
plant Kafr corn will depend on the
state, and locality in state, in which
pc resides. 1t must be remembered
that Kaflr corn is blessing to farm
ers who reside in states with dimin-
ished rainfall or in localities in states
where rainfall comes at the wrong
time OF the year to greatly benefit
the growing crops. In states where
Indian corn can be grown to perfec-
ton it will not generally pay to grow
kafir corn. We give this word of cau-
tion at this time, because there is a.
tendency to judge a plant by it's value
in some one locality. For Kansas, Ne
braska, and wherever the Indian corn
crop is cut short by drouth, Kaf1r corn
should be extensively grown. 1t will
stand drouth better than Indian corn,
and it's leaves will remain succulent
for long time after the leaves OF IN
dian corn have become dry and about
worthless. But even with Kafir corn
early planting is best on account Of
the added amount of moisture it gets
from the spring rains. Once estab-
lished, it sends down its roots into
the moist earth below and can stand;
the ordinary drouth of our western
summer.

OUTLAW CURRlE.
His Father Claims He Was Not Implicated

His Father Claims He Was Not Implicated
in the Union Pacific Robbery.
John Currie of Chadron, Neb has
taken charge of the remains of his son,
who was killed about seventy miles
south of Thompson, Utah, April 18th !,
by Sheritfs Preece and Tyler and posse
He readily identified the remains as
those of his son George Currie, who is
supposed to be one Of the robbers that
held up the train on the Union Pacific
railway.
Mr.. Currie says it is natural for a
father to think we'll of his son, but
Notwithstanding that part OF it he
claims that his son could not have been
implicated in the robbery He claims
that if he had the money at his disposal
he could prove an alibi for his son by
at least a dozen who are thoroughly
reliable Another fact that shows in
his favor is that his son asked for
money about the goth of last December
and he has a receipt from him to show
that he received it.
If George had any money cached
away his father thought it hardly
probable that he would ask his parents
for it, when he knew they would have
to mortgage some property to get it.

Kidding Wyoming of Pests.

During the past fourteen months, or
before the state appropriation of $25 900
became exhausted, there were killed in
Wyoming 10,1sS coyotes, 4,751 gray
wolves, thirty-seven black wolves and
ten mountain lions, on which bounty
was collected. In addition to the state
bounty, private stock associations paid
bounty of $50 for wolves and 81 for
coyotes, SO that the total numder of
predatory wild animals killed, 1906,
represents an expenditure of about
SITS, 900, which sum includes the money
received from the sale of the hides, OK

not rare in the New England states
and in Michigan. 1t is infrequent in
Wisconsin, Illinois and California, but
in some localities in the latter state it
has very rank growth.
The characteristic poison of the
hemlock is the well-known volatile al
kalold, conine, which is found in the
seeds, and, especially at Towering
time, in the leaves. The root is nearly
harmless in March, April and May,
but is dangerous afterwards, especial
ly during the first year of it's growth.
Many domestic animals have been

plant does not often occur in great
