Clover in Permanent Pastures.

1t requires about two acres of the or
dinary permanent pastures, even in the
best portions of the United States, to
keep well a steer weighing LOCO
pounds, seven months in the year, or
from May l to Dec. l. In very many
sections three acres are required,
while three acres of good wild prairie
grass will keep steer of the same
wei ght five months in an equally
thrifty condition. 1t may surprise our
readers to know that in Great Britain
and ireland, on their best lands, netur-
ally no better than the prairie lands of
the United States, one statute, or Amer
lean acre, will keep steer of the
same weight 10 or IL months in the
year. 1t is quite true that the British
farmer is not subject to the severe
droughts that sometimes prevail in the
United States, that the climate is more
equable, the rainfall, while no greater,
is more equally distributed, and that
there is no danger of grasses. being
killed by hard freezing; but on the
other hand the clovers, with the ex-
ception of white and alsike, do indif-
ferently we'll with him, and blue grass
is Of comparatively little value; in fact,
neither Great Britain or Ireland are
blue grass countries. The question
then arises, how may our permanent
pastures be so improved that they may
approximate in yield and quality to
the permanent pastures of the Old
World?
Land becomes enriched while in pas
ture, first by. the gradual accumulation
of humus or vegetable mold in the soil,
thus modifying its texture and ena-
bling it the better to withstand drought
when put in corn or the cereals; and,
second, by the gradual but slow accu-
mutation of available potash and phos-
phoric acid In the soil, partly the re-
suit of dlsintegration, and partly by the
action of the grass roots, which, as
heretofore explained, secrete an acid
in which these elements become soluble
IN pure water. Apart from these two
sources of fertility, pastures composed
of the true grasses add nothing to the
fertility of the soil.
The true permanent pasture is moi
one that grows luxuriantly in May anG
June, then suspends growth till the
rain. and resumes it until freezing
weather-though this describes the
majority of permanent pastures in the
United States. The ideal permanent
pasture is made up Of. the greatest pos
sible variety of grasses, true and artifi
cial. BY artificial grasses, we mean tn,
clovers. These grasses should have
to as great an extent as possible, diff
ferent periods of blooming, so tha

The moor baths which are provided
at many Austrian and German health
resorts, were first used at FranZenS-
bad. In 1923 DIR. Poschmann. a physi-
clan there. believed that he had found
in them a new curative medium. and
they have since become popular. Some
physicians still question their efficacy.
while others in Austria and Germany
rely upon them to render good service
in many maladies. Though the bath
is composed OF peat. or moor earth, to
which enough water has been added to
make a thick paste OF the mass. yet
the peat is different from that which
Is extracted from bog in Ireland or
Scotland.
In both Ireland and Scotland the peat
is used as fuel. At F'ranzensbad the
mineralized peat will not serve such a
purpose. The bog from which it is ex-
tracted has been saturated throughout
countless ages with mineral water. and
the product is strong chemical COIN
pound. Thus moor bath is a mineral
bath i'm a concentrated form. and ef-
fects are produced upon the system by
taking a course of these baths which
cannot be produced, according to ex-
perts. by any mineral water.-Black-

Imagination In Life.

1t seems probable that little imagi-
nation is very much better as a posses
sion than a great deal. A little is to
the daily incidents and events of life
what salt is to meat. The relish it
bestows upon them is just as good as
a pleasure. If you are in a sorry
plight, you can see help coming by its
aid, though, on the other hand. you are
not tormented by grieyous relapses Of
impatience and despair upon the delay
of the arrival of such help. as you
would surely be il you were as imagl-
native as poet. And in like manner.
when you are in the thick of prosperi-
ty, under its gentle, judicious suggest
ing you are able to look ahead, foresee
the inevitable squalls which shall fol-
low such spell of fine weather and
be prepared for them. In fact, a cer-
tain amount of imagination is like bal
last to a ship, whereas too much acts
like storm upon the same ship, catch
Ing it with all sails set.-An the Year

About 200 years ago small embroid-
cred rugs were largely made in Per-
sia, chiefly at Ispahan. These were
prayer rugs, and on each of them near
one end was a small embroidered mark
to show where the bit of sacred earth
from Mecca was to be placed. In
obedience to a law Of the Koran, that
the head must be bowed to the ground
in prayer, this was touched by the
forehead when the prostration was
made. and so the letter of the law was
carried out. The custom still prevails.
The Persian women who weave the
finest prayer rugs seldom weave any
other kind of rug.
Tart Honey.
A small stingless bee is found in the
state of Sinaloa and in Tepic. The hon
ey of these bees is not great in quanti-
ty, is dark colored, very liquid and is
said not to crystalline. Another pc
culiarity of the honey is that it has a
decidedly sour or tart taste, and on
this account it is much sought after as
being a greater delicacy than the sweet
honey of the tame bee. The reason
these bees are small producers is that
as they are stingless, they are constant
ly robbed by the larger varieties. the
tame bee being one of the robbers.

SHALL We
FIGHT TURKEY ?
-
Proposition Not So Improbable
as it Appears at First
Glance. -
London Truth.

London Truth.
A war between Turkey and the Unit
ed States? Why not? A nation like
the United States, with 13 battleships
afioat and more in process of manu-
facture, and a fairly good secondary
fleet besides, is certainly able to deal
with Turkey.
But, it is at once suggested, Europe
would not let the United States trounce
the Sultan. President Roosevelt, of
course, is not going to fight all Europe,
fighter though he be: but why should
Europe intervene on behalf of the
Turks? Does hot every nation admit
that the thing they stand most in need
of is most emphatic thrashing? Eu-
rope stood by and saw Turkey take one
thrashing from Russia, intervening
only when it looked as if the Muscovite
meant to strengthen himself too much.
But the United States would never
profit internationally from any discip-
line she might inflict upon the (more
or less Sublime Porte.
1t was always said in Europe that the
United States would never dare to wage
war upon Spain in Cuba because of the
dread of Euopean Intervention. Nine
out of every ten men you might have
met five years ago in Piccadilly or in
the foreign Office would have regarded
you as madman had you spoken of the
Americans driving the Spaniards out
of the Antilles with warships and regi-
ments. Yet only little while elapsed,
and the Spanish fleet was in ruins and
the Spanish soldiers were on their way
home as cabin passengers in transport
ships chartered by the Americans, their
passages paid for by the United States
treasury.
The Monroe doctrine says that nc
European nation shall colonize any fur.
ther on the American continents. Or
the other hand, it is equally under.
stood that the United States shall moi
colonize here, by capturing Holland
or Greece or ireland and annexine
them. But there is no doctrine thai
says that the United States shall moi
protect its citizens and punish any ma
tion who outrages them.

that it was so severe and prevalent,
considering the fact of the hard
ships, exposures and the surface
water from creeks, ponds and
sloughs that most of the settlers
were using. All had been too busy
to dig wells, and natural springs In
those days were very few. These
chills soon reduced the strength of
the stoutest person to the helpless

children.
This was really the most discour-

wife and children suffer for the care
and attention that he could not give

Jacksonville Burnedp

The fire in Jacksonville, Florida,
last week, which destroyed such a
large part of the city, left thousands
of people homeless and destitute.
The charitable organizations from
different parts of the. country have
been sending in money, provisions
and clothing very generally, till the
immediate and pressing wants are
about supplied.
1t is estimated that the loss will
reach SII, 900, 900.

nearly all sick and helpless.

1t had been common saying
among the settlers that we would
all "swlm or sink together" and in
deed for a few months, it looked as
though we might all die together.
Someone has said that the man re-
quired to fill certain place or to
take an important position always
comes to the front at the proper
time. 1t was so in this case and
the man was Doctor VIM. Postleth-
waite. His coming not only relieved
the stricken settlers of much suffering
but no doubt saved many lives, as
physicians in those days were not
much more plentiful than angels

thing about furnishing the medi-
cine. DR.. Postlethwaite rode a
mule when he came into the valley,
and it is we'll that he did as his rid
ing would soon have used up
horse, and buggies were not known
then.
The good doctor rode almost
night and day and how he bore up
under his tremendous task remains
wonder to the settlers to this day.
Doctor not only furnished his medi-
cines, but often administered them
himself, and was always smiling
and cheerful and doing numberless
kindly deeds for those who were en-
tirely helpless. He would get fresh
water for the sufferers with fever,
make fire and prepare little tea
or food for others, or make a little
cruel or soup to tempt others to try
to eat. 1t was even said that the
doctor brought many little delic
acy from his own home for the sick
women and children and that he
would kill and dress chicken, make
soup and persuade children to par
take of it when even their mothers
could not do so. He did all this
without the least prospect of pay or
reward for long time TO come, if
ever. The doctor has in. his old
age been making his home in this
city for some years and there Is not
one of these settlers living any
where but that has a warm heart for
him and a hope that he may enjoy
living among sincere friend and
we'll wishes for many more sunshiny
years.
Among those who were known as
early settlers in the valley number
names were given in the last article
of the "Stories." Smith Day left a
large farm in the valley years ago
and moved to Chanute to take the
remainder of life easy. Geo. East,
one of the best of men, has served
two full terms as county treasurer,
and now lives on stock ranch on
the Verdigris, rich and happy, as he
deserves to be. S. w. Sturdevant
moved to Chanute some years ago,
purchased good deal of property,
built some houses and started a
bank. Becoming tired of town life he
has gone back to his farm, but he is
still banker. Berry and George
Insley, with Mr.. Gulick, married
three sisters, each of whom had
sIo, 900 in cash when they we're
married. A few years later they
sold out and moved to California
and a year or two after George
1nsley either shot himself or was
killed accidently.- Berry and Gu

Horrible Death.

Out in Washington a little five
year old girl wandered away on the
prairie and got lost. All efforts of
her people and friends for five days
to find her were unavailing. Final
ly her body was found in badger
hole, where the child had crawled
to rest and die of hunger and thirst.
Her features were drawn in pain
and anguish, and her face and lips
were stained with the grass she had
been eating. She had wrapped her
little bare feet in grass to protect
them from cuts and bruises.

The Close of School.
Our city schools closed their years
work last Friday. A class of sixteen
graduated.
The exercises closed Friday with
an address by Eugune Ware. The
address was better than any mem
ber uf the class could have made but
we rather think the parents and
friends of the children would have
preferred hearing from them.
This way was easier for teachers
and pupils, but the pupils missed a
good and beneficial drill. Wares
address was highly meritorious and
the members of the class looked stun
ing in their new gowns and suits.
The members of the class were:
Myrtle Cox, Frank Dove, Harry

valley. James Stone and John
Ward also went to California and
they are reported as doing well. Sol
Wiltse, Geo. Reed and G.. N.
Virgins still reside in the valley
and they have prospered we'll. Rev.
Alexander was pastor of the Pres
byterian church in the valley, but
he has been dead several years.
Abram Long brought the largest
family to the valley in SO from
Illinois, of any man that settled
there, but he has been dead for
years and several of the children
are dead also. Joe Wiltse is now
living in Villas. ]. M. Luckey, some
fifteen years ago, left his farm and
moved to Chanute and went into
the realestate business with John
Scott and in a few years he moved
to a town in Franklin county and
went into banking, but in year or
two he returned to his farm in the
valley, and he has since then been
elected county surveyor. James
Anderson tried Oklahoma for a few
years, but has now returned to the
valley. E. w. Smith, "one of the
Smith boys" still resides in the val
ley and is prosperous.
There are many others that we
cannot name now, but all that stuck
to the valley are doing well and
many have become wealthy. D.. S.
Spring, one of the early settlers,
moved back to New York some
years ago, but owns two good farms
in the valley. w. P. Wilmouth
came to the valley without anything
but stout heart and honest head
and he is now wealthy. Joe Griffin
borrowed money at Humboldt, pay
ing 50 per cent interest, to build his
first house and now he is worth not
less than $50, 900. Sol Wiltse had
nothing when he arrived in the val
ley, but is now wealthy. Smith
Day and S. w. Sturdevant got rich
farming and so have many others in
the valley. Jesse wilkins com
menced farming as a hired hand
but he saved his wages, bought a
little piece of land, soon added
more to it and he is now worth in
land, stock and money $4,000.
Hugh Owens, another early settler,
began farming without anything.
He now owns several good farms
and lots of stock. VIM. Hanson
had wagon and team when he
came and now he is wealthy.
Squire Pugh got rich farming. O.
w. Ames began with nothing and
now he owns four or five good
farms and lots of property in Cha.
mute. J. w. Starkey, M. Crane,
VIM. Sharpe all began with nothing,
but they now own good farms, well
stocked, with a good deal of city
property, and money in the bank,
and all made by farming. Yet one
will hear occasionally that farming
in Kansas does not pay, and yet
these men and dozens of others we
might name, have all got rich at
farming in Cedar Valley.

in Chicago, Sunday morning, ten
lives were lost. The origin of the
fire is unknown.
A freight train stopped in the
street and by the men in charge re-

could not reach the scene until the
building was destroyed. The train
crew was promptly arrested.
