A Great Waste,

We saw over five thousand tons
of hay, in the stack, tame and wild,
during trip across the country late.
ly. Every ton of this hay which is
not spoiled is worth seven dollars
in the stack. OF the large number
of so-called stacks containing this
hay we saw but two which had been
built in n manner to properly pro-
tect the contents from the weather.
These two stacks had about twenty
tons apiece in them, were well and
symetrically built, were carefully
topped out after they had settled
and were in shape to keep hay as
well as it is possible to outside of
q barn. The rest of this large lot
OF forage was piled up in all sorts
of imaginable shapes, in low fat piles
containing couple of tons and up
and probably soaked by the heavy
fall rains from top to bottom, the
best cared for of the lot giving loss
of from twenty to thirty per cent.
Sixty dollar an acre land does not
give much profit when used in this
manner.

Trees and Bad Roads,

At recent horticultural meeting
tree enthusiast advocated the
planting of rows of trees as closely
as possible along all the country
highways throughout the prairie
region of the northwest. While it
seems too bad to check enthusiasm
in so good cause as that of tree
planting, the fact must not be over
looked that such method of timber
cnlturr would most seriously inter-
fere with the good roads problem,
the trees so planted making a catch
all for the sweeping snowdrifts in
winter, and their shade preventing
the drying of the road in the summer
In one western county where the
planting of willows on each side of
the public highway was gone into
on very extensive scale some years
ago, necessity has compelled the re-
moval of every tree, as they made the
roads impossible in both winter and
summer. Trees set $50 feet apart
and trimmed high might be allowed
where the soil is well drained, but
set nearer they would prove a nui-
sance.

Moral Risks in Farmers Insurance Comoar

moral RISKS IN Farmers insurance Companies
The moral hazard associated with
the issuance of policies on farm
property by the farmers mutual in
surance companies is not considered
as an important factor as it is with
the other ordinary lines of the insur-
ance business Still it should not be
wholly ignored for there are some
moral degenerates busy milking cows
and feeding pigs out in the country
just as there are apostate Israelitec
In the cities seeking insurance on a
stock of hand-me-downs. Two or
three cases which have come to our
notice illustrate in a plain way this
native ingenuity displayed by the
granger in working his brother gran
gers in this matter of mutual insur-
ance. One collected the value of a
lot of hay from a railroad company
whose engine caused the fire and
then turned round and collected the
value of the hay a second time from
the farmers mutual insurance COM
pany of which he was member;
another got the renewal of his poll
icy dated back by local agent so
as to cover a loss sustained, and q
third was able to swap an old house
for q new one by ways that were
dark. 1t is very remarkable fact
that honesty is very largely ques-
ton of opportunity with far tor
many men in both country and town.

Traffic in Cholera HOGS.

We have request from one of our
readers that we say something about
the traffic in cholera hogs. We might
say things about this business which
would not look well in print and then
hardly do the subject justice. Wher-
ever hog cholera is found there will
will be found the human hyena who
would violate the law of his state and
seek to make money out of the car
rion. In most states the law de-
mands that sick hogs shall be quar-
antined and dead ones be buried or
burned up. Instead we find bar
barian sneaking around after dark
where sick and dead hogs are to be
found, paying a dollar or so a head
for them and-what does he do with
them? Well, some few of the sick
ones recover as a result of rough
ride across the country and they go
to Chicago as fine western hogs. The
rest, both dead and dying, may or
may not appear later on in some
form of food product. This fiend
violates the law, spreads the fatal
disease and better deserves hanging
than our colored brothers down
south. And the man who for a few
dollars will sell this barbarian his
sick and dying hogs is every whit
as rotten as the man who buys them
1t is indeed curious thing that
while a man would be heavily fined
in any community for maliciously
shooting one of his neighbours hogs
this other fellow may carry on his
nefarious business unmolested 1t Is
public aud patriotic duty to swear
out an information and prosecute
any man knavu to be engaged in this
business.

Rare Woods.

1t has been frequently stated that
the island possessions recently ac-
CURED by this country are very rich
in fancy and valuable woods. 1t is
well to bear in mind that the scar
city of thing very largely deter
mines it's value. If the Tagalos
bridge their mountain streams with
mahogany logs it indicates the abun-
dance and cheapness of this variety
of timber. When a thing becomes
common it becomes cheap and I'M
fashionable. The rich want rare
things and are willing to pay big
prices for them. This is written to
correct the popular notion that there
are enormous fortunes waiting for
those who think of handling these
fancy woods of the tropics.

AIessened Rainfall.

1t is frequently said that the rain
fall of the Mississippi valley states
is not as heavy as it was fifty years
ago. A record which has been kept
for sixty years at a point in east GEN.
trail Iowa shows that there is good
ground for this belief. The record
by decades is as follows:
LIST decade to 40 av. 51.73 in.
End decade to so av. 1852 in.
Bird decade to 80 av. 1913 in.
4th decade to 10 av. BAGS in.
5th decade to $50 av. 1890 in.
9th decade to '99 av. 30.66 in.
The marked change in the volume
Of water in all the rivers and lakes
of the Mississippi valley territory
would seem to harmonic with the
above record. The problem in the
near future would seem to be not
now to get rid of the rainfall but
how best to conserve it.

What the Tree Needs.

The best possible condition for tree
growth is that which nature provides
and which may be found in any UNI
molested tract of forest. Here we
find the ground shaded and well
mulched each fall with the years
growth of foliage. The moisture is
retained and conserved and the sur
face of the ground kept mellow and
rich by the decaying vegetation.
While these desirable conditions
perhaps, cannot be duplicated in all
places where it is desirable to plant
trees, we should still strive to repro
duce them as nearly as possible, both
for our shade trees and orchards.

smoke of soft coal is injurious to veg

this smoke undoubtedly acts as a
protection to some extent against
some forms of insect pests and the
sooty deposits are essentially fer
tilizer, the large amount of poison
Gus and foul gases liberated are al
most fatal to vegetation in what may
be termed smoky locality. Some

to utilize these gases as fuel instead
of liberating them to destroy yege-
