The Continental Crea, cry of Kan

Its kind in the world, has adopted
what it calls the proft-sharing plan.
To a newspaper man that interviewed
the president of the company he said:
Our profit-sharing plan inaugurated
since Jan. is rapidly proving itself
an unqualified success. The more gen
orally II is understood the more popu-
lar 1t becomes. The plan Is very sim

spraying to Keep Oh Frost.

From time to time we have noted
the experiments made to determine
the value of spray as means Of keep
ing off frost In late spring and early
fall In the orange groves of Florida
1t has been successfully done at diff
ferent times. The film of water keeps
the temperature inside the fruit or
leaf or twig from falling too low. and
this is effective in keeping off frost, II
the latter is not too severe. Most of
the frosts that do great damage are
light frosts coming very late in the
spring or very early in the fall and
catching the tender vegetation. In
New York state this practice is COM
ing into vogue for protecting vine
yards. A number of grape growers
have this spring sprayed their vines at
times of heavy frost and have thus
saved their crops. We do not see why
the remedy would not be as effective
in the early fall as in the late spring
Doubtless the plan is worthy of ex-
tended attention.

The only safe course to take is to keep
the blood pure, digestion good, and sleep
regular. No remedy equals, in all re-
spects, Peruna for these purposes. If
the system is run down and weakened
by catarrh, Peruna renovates and re-
juvenates the nerves and brain.
A book on the catarrhal diseases Of
summer will be mailed to any address,
upon request, by the Peruna Medicine
Co, Columbus, Ohio.
The above testimonials are only two
of 10000 letters received touching the
merits of Peruna as a catarrhal tonic.
No more useful remedy to tone up the
system has ever been devised by tho
medical profession.

the trees that have this form of root
we mention pines, poplars and chest

report says: mot only does this class
include the largest number of trees,
but also the greatest number OF
species" Stumps of this character are
not SO difficult to remove as are those
with single tap roots. On the other
band, it is much more difficult to pillow

them is, however. difficult task.

Migration to the Northwest.

In an article entitled, "The New
Tide of Northwestern Migration"
contributed by Condo Hamlin to re-
cent number of the Review of Re
views the statement is made that the
tide of immigration into the north
west is now at flood. Mr.. Hamlin
says:
1T is like the movements of 1879,
1883 and 1887 in its Intensity, but I'M
like them in almost every other re-
spect The number of settlers who
had come to the northwest in the first
four months of 1902 exceeded the en-
tire immigration of last year, and
the total for 1902 promises to surpass
the number of settlers from Europe
that poured in any one year into this
section during the period of greatest
foreign immigration.
BESIDES the settlers attracted by
wild lands there is a notable move
ment of farmers who are purchasing
lands already under cultivation. Both
classes of settlers, however, are COM
ing mainly from the middle states
Iowa, northern Missouri, Illinois, In
diana and Michigan. They are selling
their old farms at from $75 to 500
an acre and with their money, farm
ing implements and sometimes live
stock are moving to the northwest
and buying better lands at from 50 to
SIS an acre; or If already under cul-
tivation, at from SIS to $50 an acre.
| Whole train loads OF these well-to-do
farmers are passing through St. Paul
and Minneapolis with such frequency
as to provoke no comment. They are
American-born, already educated in
the ways of the American people and
this infusion will be almost imme.
diately felt in the crop production OF
the northwest, in the business of its
commercial centers, in the improved
methods of farming brought from the
east, and in the greater energy OF
communities where they settle"

ers mentioned. We illustrate stump
with lateral roots. In this class be-
long the elm, soft maple. locust. dog
wood and alder. Flowing among this
class of stumps is exceedingly difficult,
as most of the roots lie just under the
surface and in the way of the pillow.
On the other hand, stumps of this
character are comparatively easy to
remove. They are accessible to the
axe, and can also be removed by ma
chinery or explosives.

Seed TESTING.


II farmer believes he can not af-
ford to grow and select ais own seed
he surely can determine its value be-
fore seeding. If he will take an ordi-
nary dinner plate, put little sand in
1t and moisten the same, count out
100 or 150 seeds of the various grasses
and clovers, put in separate plates
and invert other plates over the ones
containing the sand and let them
stand at the temperature of the living
room for several days being sure that
the sand is kept moist, he can readily
determine how much of this seed will
terminate and whether it is worth
his while to SOW it. Seed testing is
such simple process that It is sur
prising that every farmer does not
give more attention to it. especially
when it is SO very important. Though
the experiment station has tried to
use discretion in the purchase of seeds
it has been found that many samples
sent us would not show 25 per cent Of
termination; some went below this,
while very few came up to fair
standard. 1t is the lack of vitality
that should be guarded against as II
causes an appalling waste of money,
not to speak of the annoyance which
could be prevented by making ger
mination test of the seed before they
are purchased or only buying them on
the guarantee that they show a certain
termination test.-seed Testing

new ground the plowman is surprised
to find with what ease he may pass
some stumps, while it is necessary for
him to bear his pillow out of the ground
or fight his way through maze OF
roots as he approaches stumps of an
other species. The difference in roots
is what makes the difference in trees
ability to stand storms. The forest
may be full of up-rooted trees, but the
hickory, black gum and white oak
stand erect, resisting the force of the
wind and ravages of time, until age
has caused them to decay and crumble
back to earth. Such stumps, though
easy to cultivate, are hard to remove
whether by means of the axe. ma
chinery or explosives Therefore in
clearing land covered with such
stumps it is not unusual to turn the
land into pasture and permit the
stumps to rot out.
There are trees with semi-tap root
system, such as we show in our sec
ond illustration. The roots strike
downward at an considerable angle

Methods of Removing Stumps.
Trees vary greatly as to the form OF
their roots. Some like the hickory,
black gum and white oak, have tap
roots. In some cases the trunks hold
their full size to a distance of several
feet under the ground. The tap roots
penetrate the soil deeply, even though
they subdivide under the ground.

THAT 100000,

1t will be somewhat strange after the
Government gives 100000 to help
build the levee from Hickman to the
highlands of Tennessee, and the owners
of the overfiowed lands in Tennessee
and Kentucky give an approximate
sum, if that enterprise shall fail by
reason OF not being able to secure the
right of way in Kentucky on which to
build the levee. The Government LAYS
it down as an absolute condition that
not one cent OF the Government APP
propr iation can be used until the right
of way is absolutely secured; and the
peoples subscriptions are absolutely
necessary for their quota or prorata in
the building of the levee. This is the
situation; now what is to be done
about it. 1t is expected that this levee
will reclaim about 100. 900 acres of land
and that the population ON the reclaim
ed lands will be quadrupled 1t Dug ht
to bring increased trade. business and
wealth. There are some who oppose
the levee, and the Courier has no word
of criticism or fault finding. They may
be right, and at any rate il is their
privilege. The hundreds of miles of
levees from New Orleans up seems to
prove the idea that levees are beneficial.
