CHOICE MISCELLANY
Wise Men Reversed.


The Independence Star recounts that
a man down there was nearly stung by
a scorpion five inches long and says the
man was very lucky TO escape, las tho
sting Of a scorpion is certain death"
And we note the item as another IN
stance of the reversal Of university
professor. Kansas seems TO sit up
nights watching for chances TO reverse
her university professors. Geologist
Hayward said there was no gold In the
western shales, and Colonel Fred Close
reversed him by showing there would
be lots of gold there after it had been
discovered. Naturalist Dyche said the
Belgian hare and the jack rabbit
wouldn't cross, and state senator re-
verscd him by offering an appropria-
ton bill to pay for the crossing Of the
two animals.
Chancellor Snow said that the scor
pions deadly sting was mostly myth
and that even In the tropical coun-
tries 1t did little harm, and now the
chancellor is reversed by the Independ-
ence paper. And this reminds us of an
account written by Kansas editor
about the ella monster. an ugly species
Of lizard found only along the ella
river. The editor had been down there,
and the natives had filed him full Of
stories about the deadly nature OF con-
tact With this creature. THE mon
ster," he said, differs from every 9th
or known animal In the world, because
it does not need to bite or sting, but
gives instant death with breath from
it's mouth" Yet Chancellor Snow got
one Of these monsters and kept 1t alive
around the university for a year or
more. and the scholars used to pat 1t on
the head and call It mike. kansas

Home Fertilizers.

The backbone of farming is barnyard
manure and green fertilizers. Plow
these under every year In sufficient
quantities, and the heaviest crops can
be raised without injuring the land.
Then, when needed, dress the land
with artificial fertilizers to add nitro
gen, potash or phosphoric acid, as the
case may need. Some crops absorb
more OF one Of these elements than 9TH
ers, and 1t is essential to know which
is being used In excess Of others.

Shredded Corn Fodder.

The western farmers who have begun
to use shredded corn fodder are now
declaring that ton OF 1t is worth more
than ton OF hay for milk cows, says
American Agriculturist. We came to
the same conclusion years ago In re-
gard to corn fodder well grown, cut
when fit and fed dry or molstened with
water; It is better than hay for milk
and butter products, producing a better
article at less cost. We never tried the
shredded fodder. but can imagine there
would be less waste to 1t.

Farmers have a splendid market for
skimmilk returned. from the creamery
nd one they do not always utilize to
the very best advantage. There is no
better food made for producing the fin

BIG SAIL AREA TOLD

But the English boat was not TO be
overtaken then. She had more square
feet of sail and every one was telling In
the beautiful run before the wind. 1t
looked as If the Shamrock meant TO make
up the AZ seconds which she had 10 give
her rival when the outer mark was turned
and it would be beat home on even
terms.
When two-thirds OF the first leg had
been covered IL was apparently GER
tait.ty that she could hold her-lead under
the weather conditions prevailing and
the hopes Of the patriots were conferred
on the Columbia's hoped for ability to
outpoint the golden boat.
About a quarter past IL, when the boats
were nearing the outer mark the wind
began TO fatten a little which was In
stantly shown In the decreased speed OF
the sloops. But they were eating up IL
miles which lay between them and the
state boat at splendid gait and still
going like the wind.
Drawing near the outer mark the
weather was becoming more and more
Shamrock like. With the fattening wind
the sea was comparatively smooth and all
conditions were absolutely ideal for a be-
tore the wind race.
