crop is worth seeing and we enjoyed
looking at it. Col. Ahernethy has
about one hundred and eighty apres

for feed, he expects to make nearly
1000 barrels OF corn. This is Col

A Good Example.

is a pleasure to note the grow
ing tendency of the railway corpora
ton towards improving the appear
ance of their depot grounds and in
timber culture. The Northwestern
road in the matter of lawn and floral
development OF station grounds on
main line west from Chicago is doing
fine work, not only setting a good
example for all lot owners, but cater
ing to a love'of the artistic and beau
tiiul which greatly needs encourage
ing. The X. c. & Fort Scott rail-
way is building greenhouses in con-
nection with its depot buildings, from
which daily supply of nice flowers
is supplied the dining and parlor cars
of its line, while the Santa Fe has
gone extensively into timber culture
on some of its Kansas lands, forest
of 1000 acres of catalpa planted some
is years ago now being of the esti-
mate value of $1,000,000 thus demon
strating in a very practical manner
the possibilities of timber culture in
the prairie regions of the west.

Women in the Corn Fields.

All over the central west wor>cn
have helped to gather the great corn
crop this year. 1t has not been
a question of whether they shoud
be allowed to do this sort of wcrk,
they simply had to or else have TIE
crop wasted. A good many nice
girls have earned from one to two
dollars day doing this work and
have built themselves up physically
with no impairment of their woman
ly refinement. And yet certain
man whom we know, who lets his
wife milk the cows, feed the pigs
and part of the time chop her own
wood for the kitchen stove, said a
man had no business letting his wife
work out in the field this way. Men
are queer critters, anyway.

Road Reform.

The road business of thousands of
townships all through the country is
managed by set of supervisors, six
to ten in each township. The work
thus done is VIGOROUSLY wastefully
done. \ few communities alive to the
need of improvement in this matter
have abandoned the old supervisor
system and have consolidated the
township road districts into one dis
trict and put competent man in
charge of all the road work of the
township. In every case where this
has been done better results have
been obtained, the work being done
ir systematic and permanent man
ner, and nearly twice as much work
obtained for the money spent as un-
der the old system. Look this reform
up in your township.

When 70 Sprav.

The clash between the bees and t c
orchard men can be easily avoided
ii only a little common sense is used.
1t is definitely settled by the best
authorities that so far as the orchar.!
is concerned it is not the best 10
spray when the trees are in ful
bloom, and this is just the time when
spraying would kill the bees which, in
the pursuit of food, are just then do
ing their most helpful work in secur-

and again after the fruit is well set
protects the fruit, and at the same
time spares the bees.

The Craze for Land.

As was anticipated following the
cheapnes and abundance of money,
there has sprung up a craze for land
manifest in the greatly increased val
ues of all improved farms in the fer
tile sections of the west and in the
rush of buyers out onto the debata-
bic territory bordering on the arid
sections of the central west. Land
is selling today for SIS and so per
acre in many portions of this debata-
bic territory on the strength of a
crop, the product of unusual rainfall
for 1900, where, taking series of
ten years onl one or two good
crops is at all possible. We wish to
repeat here what we have heretofore
called attention TO, j. e., that wher-
ever the Bunalo grass is native 10 the
soil, there as general thing it is en-
tirely unsafe TO attempt to till the
soil for ordinary crops. This grass
is the Almlghty's danger signal-no-
tice to all that where this grass
grows the earth should not be plowed
While such lands may be made very
profitable for stock raising, there is
little but calamity and disappoint
ment in store for the raiser of cerea
crops and grasses, the simple reasol
being that the rainfall is insufficient,

Could we but see the acreage Of
forest despoiled each day in the year
to supply the demands of the news
papers of the country for paper and
that of the railway corporations for
ties for their roads, the people would
be almost paralyzed with astonish-
ment. If we add the area annually
destroyed by forest fires, it is small
wonder that America is fast becom.

A, little Siberian crab tree grow
ing in the city of Dubuque was top

where the hog cholera is prevalent
the township officials have issued an

vides that if town runs in debt

America produces ninety per cent
of all the Indian corn raised in the
world. Most of this crop is produced
in Kansas, Nebraska. Missouri, Him
OILS, and Iowa, with Ohio, Indiana and
Wisconsin as contributors. This ter
ritory constitutes the great corn belt,
possessing for all time an almost alb
solute monopoly in the production of
one OF the worlds greatest cereal
