WHAT IS AND WHAT MIGHT BE.

An entirely possible crop Of corn with
in the limits of the corn belt is 70 BUSH
els per acre, or double what the aver
age crop is in any of the corn growing
states. Such a crop is not possible on
land which is corned every year or just
rotated with other cereal crops. 1t will
naturally come as a crop once In four
years where it follows a clover sod
turned over the previous fall. 1t will
involve n selected seed. thorough prepa-
ration of the soil and careful cultiva-
ton and will depend upon sufficient
moisture at the earring period. There
will be no weeds in this field, no patch
es worked out by gophers, and 1t must
average two stalks in hill. 1t is more
likely to come from seed planted the
25th of May than from seed planted a
month earlier. 1t will be given but one
deep cultivation. and that the second
time through. All subsequent cultiva
| ton will be shallow.

There is much community Of interest
among nearly all birds. The other day,
seeking to place a young blue jay just
out of the nest where some prowling
house cat could not get it, its cries
quickly brought 10 or 20 jays to its
rescue, and they were all full Of fight,
but 1t may be noted that this bond Of
sympathy is confined exclusively to the
variety of bird which may be in dan
ger, other kinds seeming to care moth
ing about the trouble.

The patriot who uses a wide tired
wagon when he hauls loads upon the
public highway is deserving of much
better obituary notice when he dies
than his nelghbor who cut up the high
ways with his narrow tires as fast as
they could be put in repair.

At 10 cents per quart, which has been
the market price, it would have taken
over 500 to have supplied the writer's
family with the strawberries we have
picked and used from our own bed this
season. Then, there was the satisfac-
ton of raising them, which was worth
something.

There is always some raw granger
going to Chicago with stock from Iowa,
Kansas or Nebraska, who persists in
either blowing out the gas at his hotel
or else goes out after dark to see the
city, in which case he might just about
as well have staid at his hotel and
blown out the gas. This sort should
sell their stock and get out of town be-
fore the sun goes down.

Additional testimony comes from sew

infested with the box elder bug. This
fact seems so well proved that the re-

will probably remedy this nuisance.

The southeastern fourth Of the state
Of Iowa has largely substituted bar
ley for oats as a rotation crop in con-
nection with clover and corn. 1t is
found that barley is less liable to
blight, ripens earlier, is a far better
crop to seed down with and where a
crop Of 30 or 40 bushels can be grown
is every way a more satisfactory crop
than oats.

If you have u COWS, it will pay TO
look up the farm separator proposition.
In doing it, however, regard must be
had as to the disposal of your cream.
If one Of the members of a cooperative
creamery working under the creamery
separator plan, it may be best to let
the farm separator alone until such
time as 1t can be generally used by the
patrons Of such creamery. But if you
are selling cream to a gathered cream
creamery, or make your own butter or
supply milk and cream for town Gus
toners, there is not the least doubt as
to the economy of the farm separator
even if you have not more than II
cows.

While the marked rise in value Of all
farm lands during the past two years
has made the holding Of such land very
profitable regardless of how the farm
may have been worked, this condition
will not continue, and in the future
what money is made from the farm
will have to be made from the cult
walton of the land and not from the
advance in value of the land.

We spent several hours in a dense
and heavy tract Of timber not long
since and were surprised to note how
very few birds it contained, while the
groves around the adjacent farmhouses
and all through the gardens and
orchards of the country town nearby
the robin, jays, brown thrashers,
wrens, orioles. grOsbeaks, doves, cat
birds and woOdpeckers fairly swarmed.
The big woods were silent, while the
groves and orchards were full of bird
melody. An owl, a pair Of hawks,
vireO and a solitary wood thrush were
the only tenants of the big woods. Is
It because the birds find they are safer
in the vicinity of man, or that they find
a better supply Of food? Or may they
not be moved by the same impulse
which attracts people from the coun-
try to the city? We cannot tell.

NEWSPAPER ACCURACY.

Sometimes n hears the statement
made often fippantly. but occasionally
in seriousness. that newspapers dc
l~iberately misstate facts. Such state
ments may be credited by the unin
formed, but anyone who has eve been
connected with the news department
OF a big daily newspaper knows how
far they are from the truth.
The Tampa, Florida, Tribune, In dis.
cussing the question, says:
There is hardly n reputable news
paper in the entire United States at
present which does not make a deter
mined attempt to obtain Just what
are the facts concerning every item

obtain. Frequently, for instance, in

in print he will not admit its truth.

ADDRESS OF r. W. D. BRYAN.
Delivered at the Graves Of Departed
Woodmen Sunday, June g.

Sovereigns OF Albuquerque Lodge,
Woodmen OF the World.
We. the living. assemble to-day
about the graves OF the dead, In this
silent, but steadily growing city lie the
mortal remains of our brothers who,
but lately mingled with the living
We recall them to-day. We bring them
from memory's recesses and hold them
in our mental vision. We see them
as they were in health before
dread disease cast over their linea,
ments the spectral hue Of death. We
think of those charms of person and
those, mental traits that endeared
them TO us. We seem to feel the
hearty handshake In their fraternal
greeting. We watch those speaking
eyes and that expressive smile as
thought, responsive to our thought,
seeks utterance.
Thought leapt out to wed with
thought
| Ere thought could wed itself with
speech"
Something within the body OF ouI
brother appealed to something similar
within US, We are sure that. while
working In and through this mechan
ism we call the body, II was distinct
from II. We reason and think daily
Of and with this other self, assuming
It's life and very being as different
from the body which So soon decays
| when life is extinct.
Within this wall of flesh there is a
soul, counts thee her creditor, -
Most of us recognize its existence
and acknowledge It's claims, We re,
gard II as the individual. We speak
OF the body as the house In which the
soul dwells for a time, We look upon
death not only as the end OF mortal
life. but as the time when the soul
separates from the body.
am not here to discuss religious
theories or psychological questions, or
TO PROFOUND any new science OF life.
| speak only of our common beliefs
and OF my personal views.
repeat that these graves, on which
We to-day scatter flowers, never did
contain our brothers, but merely the
shell-the outward form In which
they presented themselves to our
physical senses. Our brothers them.
selves are not here. We shall search
these graves and this place OF the
tombs in vain. They were not here.
They are not here.
Then to the grave | turned me to see
what therein lay;
Twas the garment OF the Cnristian,
worn out and thrown away"
Wherefore this suggestive service?
Why these flowers, emblematic OF
beautiful life? Must we be content
merely 10 recall the friends as they
were in life? Does this day do moth
ing more than awaken memories? Is
II for this, alone, that we, the living,
assemble to-day about the graves OF
the dead? | think not.
We come here not In the habit
ments OF o We do not mourn. We
are saddened as we recall our griefs,
but We think Of our brothers as living.
Untrammeled by their feshy prison
house they may be all about us at this
moment, conscious of this our deyo'
tion. Their sympathy and help may
be extended in our behalf and prove
