SOIL FEEDING.
From Agricultural Epitomist


The soil is like bank deposit. One
can check out until the deposit is ex-
hausted, thereafter checks are not honor
ed. He who would always be in posi-
ton to draw on the bank must continue
making deposits. 1t is said that many
Pennsylvania farmers have quite ruined
their land by the use of lime. Lime is
merely a solvent, quickly making the
plant food in the soil available. OF
course, if no attention was paid to rails
ing clover, and no increase made 10 the
stock fed, and the freed plant food thus
returned in the shaps Of manure, the
impoverishment Of the soil must have
gone on at a rapid rate. But where the
soil was fed, lime was a great and per-
manent advantage 1t will often be
good policy to feed with view to max
ing larger quantities Of stable manure.
If the gain 10 flesh Of the stock fed Just
equals in market value the cost Of the
feed stuffs consumed, then the manure
produced is acquired at the cost Of the
labor involved in caring for the stock.
II is often possible to feed on this basis,
and in most cases the fertilizing matter
will be better and cheaper than il bought
in the form cf commercial fertilizers.
STEERS IN STALLS.
Some times the cost Of feeds used may
even exceed the market value of the in-
crease in weight and value Of the animal
fed, and still be profitable from our point
Of view. A feeder Of steers recently re-
ported gain in weight of eighty pounds
per month for two months on a ration of
hay, Silage, seven pounds corn meal,
two pounds oil meal and three pounds
bran, the animals being kept in box
stalls and never exposed Now 10 this
case, at present prices Of feed. there
may have been no margin Of profit or a
very small one. Yet where the entire
manure was saved, have no doubt that
leeder was well reimbursed. For fully
80 per cent of the fortilizing matter in
the feed was left on the place. When
stock is fed for manure N winter, plenty
of absorbent bedding being supplied,
and clover or stock peas grown. the
manufacture Of soil food is carried on
the entire year, and the results will soon
appear 10 abundant harvests. Feed the
soil, and the soil will more than feed

The Alexander Picnic.

The annual picnic of the Alexander
families and their friends was held in
the fine grove on the farm of Capt. E.
H. Alexander in High Point township
last Thursday. There were at least 700
people on the grounds and all spent a
most enjoyable day. 1t was along
toward noon when all had gathered,
and of course the first thing thought of
by everyone was dinner, and it was a
pretty sight to see the many groups
scattered through the woods and doing
full justice to fried chicken and the
many good things which always appear
st picnic. After everyone had been
fully satisfied the assemblage was called
to order by Rev. l. N. Woodward, pas
tor of the Leon M. E. church, who de-
livered short prayer, and then Rev.
Will Helt, of Humeston, took charge of
the exercises as master of ceremonies.
The first number was a piano solo by
Mrs. Fred Wooley, who was followed
by an address by Rev. Woodward.
Miss Enid Alexander represented the
Alexander families by rendering an
artistic solo. Miss Sadie Duncan de-
livered a pleasing recitation in an ad-
mirable manner, and Miss Laura Wood.
ward played pretty solo. Miss Louise
Waight contributed one of her recita-
tons to the program, and the large
audience was evidently well pleased
with her effort to entertain them. Mrs.
g. E. Gardner, Leon's peerless musician
sang beautiful solo, being followed by
recitation by Miss Iva Duncan. Rev.
Helt was forced to make an address and
gave many old time recollections of the
hardships endured years ago by the
early settlers of this county, foremost
among whom was Capt. E. H. Alexan.
der. He told how, Al years ago, he
was travelling west and came to de.
serted log cabin in High Point township,
into which he moved to spend the
winter. After staying there few weeks
another man came alongand told him
he had bought the place, and he would
have to move out. He replied he had
no place to go, and the man finally told
him to keep possession of the parlor and
he would take the Kitchen, and that
man was Capt. E. II. Alexander,
who had owned the farm where the pic.
mic was being held ever since, and a
finer gentleman he never knew. The
program proper was closed with a
brilliant piano solo by Mrs. e. f. Gard
ner, and the balance of the day was
spent in renewing old acquaintances
and sports of various kinds. 1t was one
of the best of the many splendid picnics
held on the Alexander home farm.

More Barn Burning at Grand River

The town of Grand River is cursed bv
an incendiary who has made his presence
evident several times during the past
year by burning barns. A few months
ago an effort was made to burn the
livery barn of By Bay, but fortunately
the fire was disco vered and extinguished
before it had made much Roadway.
For long time watch was kept, and
the insurance companies offered re-.
ward of $500 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the GU lprit. but vigilance was re.
Taxed short time ago. Monday morn
ing about O'Clock the Bay barn was
again discovered to be on fire and the
flames had made such Roadway that
nothing could be saved from the barn..
Seven horses, two buggies, harness and
everything in the barn was destroyed,
Mr.. Bays loss being from $3.50 to
$4,000, and he had no insurance, the
insurance companies having refused to
take the risk. on his barn. We under.
stand there has been an old time vigil
ance committee organized at Grand
River, and there will certainly be q

LOST HIS NERVE.
why 1t Was That Big Pete Failed to
Hit the Sheriff,

There were thirty men in the White
Wolf saloon when the sheriff of Silver
county sauntered in to arrest big Pete
Thompson for murder. Pete was play
ing a hand in 4 game of poker, and
after nodding to him the sheriff stood
ND at the bar and called for a drink.
His back was scarcely turned when
Pete laid down his cards, pulled his
gun and fired six shots as fast as his
finger could pull the trigger. The sheriff
never moved. When the smoke had
rolled out of the open door and we
could see, the sheriff stood in the same
position and wore the same smile. One
bullet had burned his cheek; second
had grazed his ear; a third had cut
through his shirt collar under the left
ear. Big Pete was dead shot, and
yet he had missed his man at fifteen
feet.
"Got through, Pete? asked the sher-
if, breaking a silence that was posi-
lively painful.
"And you-you are not heeledw
gasped Pete as his arm sunk slowly
down.
mo; come on"
''You didn't bring your guns?"
mo; if you are through shooting,
Wen go"
Pete laid his two guns down on the
table before him and walked to the
door and out into the street. His horse
was tied to a post block away. He
reached the horse, mounted and then
headed down the long street after the
sheriff, who was giving him not the
slightest attention. In five minutes the
pair were out of sight.
What allied Pete?' was asked of
the barkeeper, who had come to the
door of the saloon.
Lost his nerve" he brusQuely re-
piled
How do you mean?"
''Why, the sheriff coming without q
gun and standing there to be shot at
took all his sand away and made a wo-
man of him"
suppose the sheriff had had gum"
The man jerked his head toward the
field wherein fifteen or twenty victims
had been buried and said:
He'd "a bin over thar"
aAnd will big Pete get clear?"
Likely; but he'll have to leave here.
The boys have already put him down

Rainwater Good If You Like 1t.

When a man gets used to drinking
rainwater," said a New Orleans man 70
the Washington Post, there is no other
water in the world that tastes 80 good.
Most Of the people in New Orleans
have cisterns in their yards which hold
an abundant supply of water caught
from the clouds, the purest and best
in the world, according to my notion.
The winter rainfall alone is used, the
summer catch not being desirable. II
is somewhat curious that in northern
attitudes the cistern water does not
keep wholesome and sweet as It does
in our country"
