less until last year the number was only
one-third what it was six years ago.
This is Dot surprise to those who have
been familiar with the great change
that was taking place In the west. Far
ther and farther west has the man with
the hoe gone each year, encroaching on
the range and driving the cattlemen off
his old range grounds. AS irrigation
becomes more general under the care of
the government, this will still further
curtail the ranges, and the range cattle
will continue to become less and less
each year until as range cattle they will
be history. And cattle raised and fed
on the small farms and ranches will
take their place. They will probably
never get back to the old range number,
but they will produce much better
grade of cattle which will probably
bring as much money to the western
country as did the old range days.
These figures mean much to the cattle
raisers of the corn belt, and they must
supply the shortage from the farms Of
the western states. 1t means greater
demand for food cattle at q much high
er price. And the cattle rsisers should
improve their stock and get better
blood, so as to reap the advantages
which this changed condition will cer-
tainly bring to them.-Prairie Farmer.

While the rivalry between Patti and
Gerster In San Francisco in 1884 was
at its height 1t was made known that
General Crittenden, governor of Mis-
souri,. had given Patti kiss. There
upon Nine. Patti was interviewed,
when she spoke as follows:
II had Just finished singing Home,
Sweet Home last Thursday evening
when nice looking old gentleman,
who introduced himself as Governor
Crittenden, began congratulating me.
All Of q sudden he leaned down, put
bis arms around me, drew me up to
him and kissed me. He said, Nine.
Patti, may never see you again, but
I cannot help it, and before l knew it
he was kissing me. When gentle
man, and such nice old gentleman,

kisses one SO quick that one has not
time to see and no time to object, what
can one do?'
The following dialogue on the SUBJ

afterward published:

Theater Audiences.

Have you ever noticed that theater
audiences always assemble in the re-
verse order to the prices of admission!
The cheapest seats are occupied first
and the most expensive ones last.
Those who go to the extreme back
upper perches are always on hand be-
fore the doors are open and wait with
heroic patience to be admitted. Those
who occupy the seats little lower in
position and little higher in price
come next. Then the balcony begins

On the orchestra floor is the same

before the curtain rises or shortly after
it is up, while the boxes are usually
not occupied until the first act is well
under way.-New York Herald.

Making aHotbed.

A correspondent writes asking for
some information jn regard to making
hotbed, when to put the manure in
etc. To make a jhotbed, first select a
situation that Unprotected on the north
and west. Make an excavation about
two feet deep, Six feet wide and as long
as is necessary to give the room desired.
Set stakes haf the length of board
apart and bard up the excavation from
the bottom to eighteen inches above
the surface on the north side, and nine
inches above on the south side. Then
take the manure, horse manure being
best andthat made by sheep next, and
pile 1t "a conical pile until fermenta-
ton has set up all through it. In order
that tie spores of fermentation may be
equally distributed, it should be forked
over and well mixed, and 1t will proc.
ably be necessary to do this number
of times. If quantity of forest leaves
can be obtained, especially when they
have been used as bedding out the
stable, it will be good ides TO mix an
equal quantity of them with the ma
nure. If the manure heats to rapidly
It must,be tramped solid; IL not rspily
enough loosen it up. AS soon as fer
mentation has been established through
out the mass equally it is ready to 20
into the hotbed. Fill the excavation
with the manure to within six inches of
the top and let the fermentation be-
come quite active. Then tramp it
down and cover with six inches of good
rich soil made of one-third compost and
two-thlrds good loan of rotted turf.
Then cover with the sash, which must
have been provided to fit, and let the
soil become quite warm by fermenta.
tion 30 that all the weed seeds near the
surface will germinate. When they
have germinated take off the sash, rake
lightly to destroy the weeds, put the
sash on and the bed is ready for use.
Remember that the heat must be con.
trolled by making the manure more or
less solid, according as the fermenta-
tion is more or less active. Tramping
will decrease and loosening will increase
the fermentation and the consequent
heat. Bear in mind also that plants
grown In the hotbed must be hardened
off by gradual exposure to outdoor con.
ditions before they are transplanted.-

The Personal Elemes in FARMING.

1t is generally to be found that the

things as they come, adapts himself to

serve to succeed. The man who takes
a hopeful view Of things, does all his

Substitute Fuels.

The question of cheaper fuel, in th1,
climate, with anthracite coal at 1922
ton, is always interesting; and we
were forcibly struck, few days age
with the remark Of prominent locs
fuel dealer, to the effect that the people
of the northwest were very largely
wasting one Of the most valuable sub.
stitute fuels convenient to their land.
'Ihis, he went on to say, was wheat
straw, whichcontains more heat units,
weight for weight, than Ignite or any
OF the inferior kinds of coal, and could
be inexpensively compressed into bri-
quettes for convenient use.
The value of straw for fuel has been
demonstrated by its use in making
steam in the power boilers of threshine
machines. With large lire-box it can
be used to good advantage by simply
twisting 1t into ropes or tieing it into
compact bundles; but it is evident that
1t would be much more effective for
household use If compactly pressed by
hydraulic or steam power into brick
shaped chunks of convenient size. Itis
also highly probable that its value as
fuel might be greatly increased by mix.
ing it with cheap crude or fue. oil.
1t will be remembered that in the
early pioneer day the prairie farmers
used.to keep warm by burning hay. Ii
was the days before the railroads were
convenient enough to bring in coal or
wood, and before the wheat crop was
large. Special stoves with immense
fire boxes were constructed, with a
weight pressing upon the hay from the
top to keep 1t compact and prevent It
from burning too rapidly. 1t was
claimed that fire could be kept in these
stoves all night. The fuel dealer above
quoted AYERS that straw is much more
valuable fuel than hay, as it contains
more woody fibre-and besides the bulk
of 1t is treated as worthless waste and
burned In bonfires, while hay is o1e of
the most valuable of farm products.
1t is probable that there is enough
wheat straw produced annually In the
states Of Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota to serve the biggest part
of the populations need of fuel-snd If
1t could all be utilized, what an i'm
mense net saving would be effected in

Commence or begin? The best writ
ers. and the best speakers, also, prefer
"begin" to commence" for all every
day purposes. The reason for this pref
erence is not, as some have said, that
"begin" is older, for commence" is Of
very respectable antiquity; nor is it,
as others have said, that begin is Of
Anglo-Saxon origin. for words Of
French or lof Latin origin that have
been fully adopted into our language
are Just as good English as native
words. 1t is rather that "begin" has
the strength of simplicity, whereas
"commence" has fallen into disrepute
from being associated with the cheap
Emery of writing.-Elizabeth A. Withey
