HOLD TOO MUCH LAND.

Perusal of census bulletins show
that the noble red man is holding down
too much good American sod. His
paletace competitor needs these areas
in his business of creating wealth.
Why the Indian should monopolize
vast stretches of the best land in the
than raising scrub ponies, is something
that needs explanation.
All this land is not worth much to
the Indian. Uncle Sam should lose no
time in taking it off his hands at a
fair valuation, and give the army of
homeseekers chance to develop it.

HAND sEPARAToRs INCREASING.

The number of hand separatOrs on
farms is increasing both in this cOun
try and in Europe. There is con
slant conflict of opinion between those
in favor of the hand separator and
those in favor of milk delivered whole
to the central creamery. Each me-
thod has an advantage. With men
owning but few COWS the hand separa
tor will never be popular, as it repre-
sents a considerable investment and
requires skilled care. The man that
has goodly number of cows finds the
separator a good investment. So we
may expect to see the two systems ex-
list side by side. The hand separator
is certainly preferable from sani-
tary standpoint, except where the
large creamery sterilizes all skim
milk.

more growth than they would have

More than 100000 acres were plant
ed to corn last spring, or about 100000
600 acres in excess of normal, the eX-
cess having been stimulated by last
years shortage and high prices. Any
one of the five principal corn states
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska or
Missouri has fifty times as large an
area in this grain combined as have
all the New England States combined.
Of the total acreage more than three
fourths lies in the Mississippi, Ohio,
and Missouri valleys.
That the crop will be the largest ev-
er grown in the United States is now
certainty. 1t has had many vicissi-
tudes. That about $500 100000 will
be crippled is almost a certainty. This
is a round billion bushels in excess
of the harvest of last year. and fully
25 per cent. greater than that of 1900.
But the days of Is cent corn are
over. Seemingly but yesterday there
existed popular clamor for European
market Now no surplus is in sight.
Home consumption is growing, and
within few years the producing ca
pacity of the corn belt will be taxed.
FOR there is but one corn belt and it's
area is limited, and boundaries well
defined.-Chicago Livestock World.

Family tradition has handed down
the following anecdote regarding the
babyhood Of a gentleman, now grand
father, who is noted among his many
friends and acQuaintances for his
marked decision of character: When he
was two or three years old, he was
taken very ill, and his family in alarm
sent for the village doctor That worthy
came and prepared IA powerful dose
after the custom of those days, which
the small sufferer was forced to take in
spite of much kicking and squalling.
The next day the doctor came again
and once more fixed up the cup of good
old fashioned medicine and set 1t be
fore the fireplace to warm. The baby
watched proceedings intently up to this
point, then suddenly slid from his
mothers lap and, toddling unsteadily
to the fire kicked the cup under the
backlog.
"Confound him." said the doctor,
"he'll live"
He did.-New York Times.
