There Is no one thing of more impOr-
lance to the man who locates on a
prairie farm than the securing of a
good, substantial wind break at the
earliest opportunity. Wind is all right
In it's place, filling the sails Of ship,
whirling the windmill and drying up
the mud, but to have it working it's
own sweet way in barnyard and round
the farm home day in and day out Il
is an unmitigated nuisance. Such
wind break can be most quickly OBJ
tanned by deep plowing-subsOiling
would be still bCtter-of an L shaped
tract of land bounding the north and
west sides Of the homestead, contain
ing about three acres and located far
enough from all yards and buildings
so as to leave ample room for the
home grounds, the barns, sheds, gar
/ den and orchard; this land so pre-
pared to be set out to the soft wood
types Of native trees-soft maple, cot
tonwood, box elder and willOw-about
10 feet apart each way and to be well
cultivated for three years at least. A
five year growth of such trees so cared
for will givea very effective wind break
A row or two Of Scotch pine planted
inside such wind break and not less
than 80 feet from 1t will make it still
better. A common mistake In plant
ing such grove is to set the trees too
thick, and the result is that as thu
trees grow they crowd each other, ant
] many Of them die out, leaving tn,
, grove irregular and patchy. The sOf
maple will bear planting more thickl,
than any of the varieties named.

A leading ear specialist of New YORK
recently visited the laboratory Of Mr..
Edison at Orange. n. j., and in converse.
sation with him asked how long he had
been partially deaf.
"Since l was a boy" replied Mr.. Edi'
son.
The specialist said he would like very
much to make an examination, which he
did later with the result that he an
nounced his belief that Mr.. Edison could
he made to hear as well as any one. Mr.
Edison repeated this to one Of his asso
GATES Il day or two later.
"Of course you will have the operation

"What! And give up the great advan
tage have over the rest of you fellows!
was the quick reply. "Why, | need it il

| you are doing or how much noise you ar,
| making, it doesn't bother me, and l an
able to concentrate my mind fully upol
the subject in hand without interruption
Give up an advantage like that! No
much until possibly get so old l cannO
work any longer"
Mr.. Edison, from this point of view
evidently is willing to sacrifice his pei
sonal convenience for the advantage O
his life's work; yet if the science and ski
of the specialist can improve his hearin
his multitude of friends would undOubi
eddy be delighted to see him thus bent

Not all visitors to the Buffalo expOsi-
ton will appreciate the fact that its won
der of wonders is not within but without
its gates-in the streets of Buffalo itself.
Every time they board trolley car In
the exposition city they go riding with
Niagara. The traction company has
hitehed its cars to the great cataract, Is
miles away, and every nickel it collects is
based on power extracted from those
mighty waters.
Likewise at night, when the exposition
and the city are made radiant with thou
sands of lamps, reflected in all colors of
the rainbow, Niagara is the lamplighter.
The electric company turns on all its cur
rents from the big power house back of
the vast torrent.
Niagara is literally the power that runs
Buffalo by day and rules it by night.
And the wonder of wonders for expOsi-
ton visitors to think about is that there
is energy still left untapped in those
mighty falls equal to the latent power in
100000 tons of coal per day. And the
plans are already drawn by engineers fol

CLEVER DIAMOND THIEF.
He Steals a SparISIer Worth $3.50
With m Apples Assistance.

He steals a SparkIer Worth $3.50
With m Apples Assistance.
Men who are more than six feet tall
and who cat apples are regarded with
distrust by every jewelry store in State
street. The reason for this is theft that
occurred last week In one of the most
prominent stores. The work was neatly
done, and the combination of a tall man
eating an apple makes every clerk and
floor detective suspicious.
A distinguished looking stranger with
white hair and white beard strollcd into
State street store last Saturday and
asked to see some diamond rings. The
clerk reached for them, leaving one tray
filed with expensive rings on top Of the
showcase.
Here they are" he said, placing the
second tray beside the first. As he did
so the tall man, who had been munching
at a fine russell apple, threw the core into
| the street.
He and the clerk went over the rings in
| the trays, but he could find none that he
wanted to buy. As he turned to go the
/ clerk discovered that a ring worth $3.50
was missing. The clerk disliked to ac-
cuse the distinguished looking stranger
| OF having SLOlen the ring. 4ueEe was
prospect Of a suit for damages against
his employer and his own discharge if the
| accusation should be found groundless
| Still, if he let the man get away with
the ring it would mean that he would
have to pay for it. Torn between these
positions the clerk finally limited that thC
customer must have seen the ring.
"Of course l saw it. l had It in my
hand only a moment ago. All, l catcl
your meaning! You want to infer tina
L Be careful, sir! You do not know
who am. l won't put up with any sucl
nonsense"
The stranger, despite his protests, wa
searched, but the ring was not found. Tn
jeweler was apprehensive of a big sui
for damages until the detectives foun
that the tall man is an old time hotG
thief who wins out often on the strengt
of his impressive appearance. The wa
he got away with the ring was to sill
in into the half eaten apple he held in hi
hand and then to throw the apple into til
street, where a confederate picked it u
and got away, and the tall man cOul
stand a search with safety.-ChicagO Il

A reader In Minneapolis wants to
know If it is a safe proposition to set
out commercial orchard Of apple trees
in the vicinity of lake Minnetonka. As
Stunning that a good location for such
orchard is selected. that proper varie-
ties are planted and that the orchard Is
given the right sort Of care and atten-
ton, we do not know of a more prOmis-
ing business proposition In the line OF
horticulture. For instance. the Wealthy
apple Is perfectly at home there. There
should be 100 bearing trees on each
acre at the end of six years from plant
Ing. Small fruits. beans, potatoes and
vines grown among the trees up to that
time will give paying crops each year
From the time these trees are @ or
years old such an orchard may be de
pended upon to bring in an average In
come for the next 20 years Of not less
than 500 per acre besides the crop o.
clover which may be grown among thu
trees. II man had from 20 to 40 acre.
In such orchard so that he could put VI
his own cold storage plant and hold hi
crop for the better prices Of the sprinl
trade, this income could easily be dOu
5led.

WHERE TO GO FOR A FARM.

We are asked where young man
with a cash capital of $1,000 had bet
ter go to get hold Of a piece of good
cheap land out of which to. make a
farm. Everything depends upon the
particular kind of farming he wishes
to engage in. If he is not afraid q
plenty of hard work and is willing to
work and wait for 10 years. he can
work out a good farm from the cheap
timber slashes of northern and central
Minnesota, being sure to see that he
gets a clay or a loan soil and not a
sand bed, or he may go or to the range
lands Of western South or North Dako-
ia and live the life Of recluse for ten
years and keep cattle and at the end
Of that time be In shape to buy well
improved farm in the well settled sec
ton farther east; or, If he takes to hor-
ticulture, he can go to the coast and In
Oregon or Washington and some parts
Of Idaho raise the best fruit and enjoy
the best climate on earth; or he can
buy an so acre farm In the corn belt
and keep cows and raise hogs and have
that paid for at the end Of 10 or Il
years. There is just as good show
, for the right kind of man and thou
: sand dollars as there ever has been.

UnOL1nx ROADS FOR 4Hn OOUss


We do not go much on prophesying,
but we like to think that we see in the
near future a vast extension Of the
country trolley road system into all
localities removed so far as ten miles
from a steam railway. The east is be-
lug gridironed with these roads, and
they are being operated at a handsome
profit to the owners and to the I'M
told benefit Of the communities which
they serve. The trolley comes the near
est to being everybOdy's road Of any
thing yet evolved in the way Of trans
pOrtatiOn. While 1t is operated on a
/ time schedule, 1t stops anywhere and
accommodates everybody along its
route. The conductor becomes a pur-
chasing agent for his patrons and fills
their orders and delivers the goods with
as much promptness as though the pur-
chasers lived In town. Built of stand.
ard gauge track, the freight car picks
I'D the heavier and bullIier farm prod
ucts, such as stock, grain, etc, and de
livers them to the steam road at the
city. In a word, the country trolle!
line, cheaply built and operated, af
fOrds every convenience offered by tn,
steam road, with the added advantage
that 1t is infinitely more adaptable t
} the wants and needs of the community
: Wherever capitalists are willing to pu
l their money into such roads the farm
ers Of the community should extend t
the road their most hearty and lOya
> support. Tie trolley, the telephone an

e cies which are destined to regenerat

men employed by the city recently which
enabled him to win a suit for damages
from the municipality. A client of the
lawyer was driving along one Of tho
principal streets when the wheel Of his
wagon struck hole, causing him to fall
and injure himself. After the case had
been placed in the hands Of the lawyer
on the day following the accident he and
a photogra pher visited the scene Of the
accident to make some photographs Of
the hole In the street to be used in court.
He was surprised to find that the city
had sent a gang Of wOrkmen to repair
the cause of the accident. 1t was inn
possible for the photographer to make
any pictures while the workmen were
about and after few moments thought
the lawyer invited the entire gang Of
wOrkmen to have a drink at a nearby sa-
loon. Each Of them accepted his invita-
