Destroying CIods.

If you have a piece of hard land to
break, which is so baked as to come
up in clods, we would suggest that you
run over it with a disc or cutaway har-
row ahead of plows, and break with
very small scoOters, says a southern
farmer. Do not try to turn such land.
If you still have clods do not wait for
them to harden, but run a heavy roller
or drag over and follow with some
pulverizing harrow the same day.
An hour or so will do this for each
days blowing. Thus you will pulver-
ize most of them quite easily. Run
roller ahead Of harrow so as to crush
as many as possible, and fasten the
others so that they cannot dodge the
harrows. 1t will pay to take time to
do this, your crop can be cultivated
SO much cheaper afterwards; and the
yield will be SO much greater. Every
time you go over with harrows and
Crushers you will increase the yield
of the crop.
We once selected M acre In a
twenty acre field, average spot, and
plowed and narrowed this acre four
teen times right along before we quit.
We then planted and cultivated this
acre just as we did the rest of the field,
running the rows right along through
it. The yield was much more than
double any other acre. This has con-
tinued to be true for five years, in all
kinds Of crops. All through the grow
ing season this acre can be distin-
guished as far as you can see the field.
All crops grow off quicker and yield
heavier. Culture is Manure" is true.
But after all the old proverb "an
ounce Of prevention is worth a pound

1t is contemplated to construct a
railroad similar to the Jungfrau line
to the summit of Mont Blanc. M.
Vallot, the director of the Mont Blanc
observatory, and M. Deperet, professor
of mineralogy at the Lyons university,
in conjunction with M. Fabres a French
engineer, have been engaged for some
time past in surveying the sides of the
mountain to ascertain a suitable route
and the atmospheric conditions. The
result of these Investigations is the
projection of a line probably starting
from the village of Touches, on the
Savoy side, to the summit, to have a
total length of eleven miles.

After a recent contest it came out
that in some instances the struggling
athletes were sustained by the use of
arsenic, strychnine and nitroglycerine.
The winner in a close trial may tri-
umph because the trainer has been
judicious in administering tonic drugs.
But does not the pharmaceutical road
to victory seem less attractive than
the old way which led through physi-
cal strength and skill unaided by the
stimulants which medicine offers?
There is a m~odernness about the pos
sibility of being beaten by a sixtieth
of a grain of strychnine, which to
earlier athletes would have brought
both wonder and regret.

Potatoes are now being imported
from the Pacific coast to China. The
first large shipment of potatoes from
this country to the Vailed Empire was
reported a short while ago. The car

The Chinese have drawn on the Pacific
coast for breadstuffs in recent years,
but this is the first sign that they have
acquired a taste for potatoes.

A curious street car line is that be-
tween Atami and Yoshihoma, two
coast towns in the province of Izie,
Japan. The line is seven miles long,
the rolling stock consists of a single
car, and the motive power is furnished
by a couple of muscular coolies, who
push the car along wherever power is
necessary. When the car comes to a
down grade they jump on and ride.

Glowing reports come from the

irrigation over an area of eighty-tive
miles long and ten miles wide, and
will shortly become the greatest lamb

lambs are on feed there, and judging
from the rate of increase there should
be 500, 900 in another year.

Value of Kansa. Live stoc X.

The compilation of Kansas assess
ors' returns, showing the value, at
home or on the farm. of animals
slaughtered or sold for slaughter and
the poultry and eggs marketed in the
year ending March 1, just completed
by Secretary F. D. Coburn, of the state
board of agriculture, evidences that
Kansas not only is we'll forward but
continues to rapidly advance in the
rank of meat-producing states.
The value returned for animals
slaughtered or sold for that purpose in
the year named is $54,321, 1888, or 7k
per cent greater than in 1899, and the
largest value in the history of the
state. In 1896 the value was $36,592, 057,
since when there has been a hand
some increase each year, ~aggregating
a total gain of ST, 729, 1871, or 48.5 per
cent.
The value of poultry and eggs mar
keted within the year was So, 1850, 1892,
a gain over 1899 of 1873 per cent, and
likewise the largest value ever report
ed for the state. There has been an
increase annually in the value Of poul-
try and eggs marketed since 1895. and
the total gain made during the five
years is 52.65 per cent, or 81, 745, 265,
the largest increase being 1900.
The combined values Of animals
slaughtered or sold for slaughter and
of poultry and eggs sold in the year
is $59,382,220, and for the five years
(1S%96-19OO) they aggregate $249 ,26O. 6sa,
making an annual average of $40, &c.,

Horticultural Observation /.

1t is a noticeable fact that the in
nuence of horticultural conventions is
on the increase. This is perhaps large
ly due to the advance being made in
horticultural education at our agricul-
tural colleges. The colleges are an
nually turning out students and are
also every year supplying more pro-
fessors as speakers at such meetings.
In the last few years a distinct i'm
provement has been noticeable in the
quality of the papers presented. This
condition should be recognized by the
great mass of farmers and the v
tons should be more freely attended.
The improvement in travelling facili-
ties makes this possible.
.
Fol- years there has been keen con-
troversy between the men that favored
keeping pear orchards in sod and those
that favored keeping them in a state
of high cultivation. The ~on-lookers
have been of the opinion that it did
not make much difference so far as
the blight was concerned whether the
orchards were in sod or not. Now,
however, the Maryland Agricultural
College has come out with a circular
stating that at that institution it is
considered proved that pear orchards
that have become affected with blight
should be got into sod as soon as pos
sible; that high cultivation and fer
tilization help the blight rather than
stop it. This of course is not advised
for orchards that are not affected by
the pest. We doubt, however, if the
opinion of the Maryland college will
settle matters in the minds of many
of our readers.
In keeping OF apples the temperature
is of curse of great Importance. The
ideal degree is said to be 80 above
zero. This is, however, not possible
to be obtained constantly except where
the apples are placed in cold storage
houses where the temperature is reg
ulated by appliances for that purpose.
In the cellar even where a low degree
OF temperature is o~btainable the air
around the apples should not be per-
mitted to change constantly, as the re-
suit will be to draw the moisture from
the fruit and Il shriveling. For
this reason the storage of apples in
barrels induces better keeping, as the
cool air around the fruit cannot
change freely. Some follow the prac-
tice of burying the apples out of
doors, and this practice is a good one
If the pit is dry and is placed below
the frost line. The temperature of the
ground in winter is seldom likely to
rise above 40 degrees at a depth i'm
mediately below the frost line. This
should be an ideal temperature. In
fact it is altogether probable that
storage cellars constructed for the
keeping of fruit will be found easier
to regulate than the best appointed
house cellars.

Our Flrst Marine Band.

Up to the year 1912 our navy.
had never boosted a marine band.
In that year Captain Mcneil
famous in the navy for his absolute
fearlessness, was in command OF
the Boston, 2S-gun American
vessel anchored at Messina. While
there the vessel was boarded by a
band from one Of the regiments
CHARTERED in the city. The sailors
appreciated the music so much
that Mcneil promptly weighed
anchor and sailed off with the
whole band. Our country didn't
want to go to war over few
musicians, so McNeil's act was
disavowed and he was removed
from his office. III
Since that time we have always
had good marine bands. We seem
to succeed at whatever we attempt,
whether it is kidnapping band.

DULUTH IN THE LEAD.

which, according to the report Of the
