PERTINENT FARM NOTES.

The United States raises four-ffths
of the worlds corn, over 1000, 900
bushels annually.
There is a wide divergence of opin-.
ion as to the outcome of the United
States rice crop for 1902. Estimates
of Weld range from 100000 to 4,OOO,-
900 sacks.
Where a locality becomes addicted
TO the habit of growing one crop year
after year, the average soil deterio-
rates unless fertilizers are applied, if
the crop is sold from the farm.
A we'll arranged system Of rotation
contributes greatly to maintaining
the uniform fertility of the soil, and
is also one of the readiest means by
which to get rid of insect pests.
Illinois, for the last rs years, has
averaged over a quarter of billion
bushels of corn annually. An increase
of one bushel of corn to the acre
means to Illinois farmers $4,000,0OO
The. results of cooperative fertiliz-
err tests on meadows conducted in
England in 1900, showed that the most
profitable proportions of commercial
fertilizers were $50 pounds of nitrate
of soda, 200 pounds of super phosphate
and 800 pounds of KANT per acre.

expansion, being then as big and round
as a grape. With a little study Of the

A POET OF ONE POEM.
The Author of "FIOra McFlimsey'
Won Fame Through That
Single Piece.

The grievous case of Miss Flora
McFlimsey, of Madison square, is
recalled by the death of her creator,
the late William Allen Butler. All
through the year 1857 people were
asking who wrote Nothing to
Wear" an anonymous poem in Har-
per's Weekly. The authorship was
imputed, claimed and disclaimed un-
til Mr. Butler was fairly forced to
own this random product of his
genial wit. A clever improvisation
has seldom taken town more com
pletely by storm. Probably just this
kind of success would be impos-
sible to-day, even if it were as well
deserved, says the New York Even
ing Post. The town was more dis
tinctIy the town in the late sos than
it ever can be again. Mr.. Butler, at
his lawyers desk downtown, was not
too far from Miss McFlimsey to bear
her case in mind through the day.

THREE UNLUCKY BILLS.
One Hundred Dollar Notes in an Ohio
Bank That Are Withheld from
Circulation.

Stored away in the vault of the Put
nam county treasury are three 500
bills, which are associated with rob-
berry of the county treasury over
decade ago. While the robbery has
been all but forgotten, the three bills
remain as mute witnesses of the
deaths, disgrace and loss that followed
in it's wake, says Columbus Grove CO.,
report. While these three witnesses
are harmless in themselves, they in
spire feeling of superstition here,
or disposition to avoid them by every
county treasurer who has filled the
office in recent years.
The bills are never looked upon by
anyone other than the county treas
urer and the county commissioners,
who twice annually count the funds
in the treasury. They remain in the
same envelope in which they were re-
ceived as conscience money" many
wears ago. The bills retain the odor of
a perfume which was no doubt used
to remove the offensive smell that
money emits. Excepting these pecul-
iarities the bills are not unlike others
of their denomination.
No treasurer thus far has disturbed
their quietude or had the courage to
put the bills in circulation. Why this
has never been done is unknown, yet
it is fact that they avoid the bills and
keep away from their resting place as
much as possible.
The question has often been asked
whether or not the money will ever be
put in circula ton. It is very proba bic
that it will not, for as each officer steps
down from the position he has held he
confdes to the incoming official the
story of the three bills, and the new
officer entwines around the envelope
containing them even more supersti-
tious thoughts than his predecessor
and allows them to remain as they
had been. Undoubtedly they will be
held as a reserve fund and passed from
one treasurer to another as reminder
of the Nemesis that will ever follow
those who forsake a public trust or
violate the commandment, Thou shalt
not steal"

SUCCESS IN FARMING.
1t Depends on the Way the Business
Is Conducted and How Small
Things Are Done.

Success in farming depends on the
way the business is conducted, and
on how well the small things are
failure in farming is going on in
haphazard kind of way, paying no at
tention to the small things and keep
ing no accounts of the outgo or in
come. The few shingles that are of
the barn don't interfere any, only
when it rains, and rainy days are the
only times they have to do these odd
jobs, being so busy other times with
big jobs. There may be weak place
in the barn floor and some day an
animal will step through. It's only
a short piece of work to repair IL
and will be attended to some day,
but that day never comes.
If one is to make a success at farm
ing he must pay strict attention to
all these odd jobs. He cannot be an
agent for everything that comes
along, go with threshing machine
all the fall, or draw all the milk TO
the creamery for his neighbors. If
practicable for best results, he must
have his blowing done in the fall for
spring crops; never keep two hired
men when only one is needed. A
great many farmers keep one hired
man the year round, when his serv-
ices five or six months would be all
that is necessary. The manner IN
which the implements are used on
some farms bring great loss to
the owner. They should be care
fully sheltered at all times when not
in use, and given a coat OF paint
when required. Keep posted on the
markets of the future and sell ac-
cordingly.
In growing crops aim to raise what
the markets demand. All markets
are not alike and close observation
of the demands of the customer. as
we'll as the seasons when certain
kinds of farm produce is preferred
will give the farmer an advantage
which will enable him to secure bet
ter prices. Remember, it is the buyer
who is to be satisfied. If in market
ing poultry the consumer prefers
fowls with yellow legs, it is to the
producers interest to grow such. The
best breed for his purpose is tha5
which he finds will give the buyer
the greatest satisfaction, and what
is true of poultry also is true of a
great many other products of the
farm. - V. NJ Couch, in Farmers
Voice

Feedipg.Carrots and Turnips.

Carrots in reasonable amounts are
excellent feed for milk cows and
have no tendency whatever to dry
them off, Frozen cabbage leaves are
not fit food for cows or any other
animals, but they will have no tend
ency to produce blindness. A great
many people feed turnips and think
them excellent for cows. They have
a tendency to faint the milk, es-
pecially if fed just before or just at
milking time. If fed Immediately
after milking time this tendency is
reduced to minimum. The fresh
tops of turnips and beets make very
good relish for cows, but afford very
little, nutriment. They should be fed
sparingly and after cows have par
TALLY appeased their appetites and
not just before milking.

That young lady spent the year, save
single month in the summer, at
her Madison Square residence, while
the opulence of Madison Square itself
was sufficiently near the East side
slums for the contrast to be exem-
plary. Everything was more COM
pact, and it was easy to get Miss Nc
Flimsey and her kind under the
glass, and to find an audience suffi-
GENTLY familiar with her sort to
view the dissection with interest
Then she herself was a more salts
factory embodiment of fussy fem
ininity than can readily be found
when girls are studying for college,
or spending long summers, not in
grieving that they "have nothing to
wear" but in acquiring fairly good
Indian tan and masculine biceps. 1t
was Mr.. Buffers good fortune to
catch Miss McFlimsey as she was
passing. He made her very interest
ing, if wholly frivolous.
