Wat : ON the Farrr

Drinking water on farms Is givep but
little consideration as to its purity
when it is derived from springs. but
many farms are SUI piled with water
from open wells. ana IT'S purity in such
cases depends largely upon the mode
of protecting the VIC and the surround
ings. Wells being deeper than bitches
or drains, and the tendency of water
being downward, much soluble matter
gets into the well that is unknown TO
the farmer. The water may appear
clear and pure. be free of odor, and yet
contain impurities. Farmers who do not
consider the matter have no coneep-
ton of the many sources from which
their drinking water is obtained. 1t
comes from the clouds. of course, but il
does not fail into the well. only reach
ing it after passing through the surface
soil and dissolvng the impurities. Be
cause the water passes through sand i

removed by liltering. as the dissolved

sRIRERY FOULS sr. LOUIS.
Grand Jury Brands City Council with
Charge of Infamy.


Charges that startled St. Louis were
made by the February grand jury. which
has been investigating bribery and official
corruption in the Municipal Assembly. in
its final report TO Judge O'Neil Ryan.
In this report a system OF bribery and
corruption, the extent Of which astounds
ST. Louis is laid bare. Members of the
House OF Delegates are charged with be-
ing Of the lowest order OF intelligence,
some without moral sense or ordinary
reasoning power. some combining a per
verified sense of morality with the lowest
form of cunning. groveiing instincts and
sordid desires. The report cites instance
after instance of huge bribes given and
offered almost without effort at conceal
ment by the agents of corporations, espe-
cially street car companies, for the pur-
pose Of securing franchises.
Men high in corporation circles of the
city, directors of street railroad com
panies. men who are financial leaders, the
jury says, have freely put up money
knowing 1t was 10 be used to purchase
franchises, and while some of these men
are beyond the reach of the law because

but a small proportion of those who de-

Three indictments already made public
We're returned. They were: Bribery,

| busch, More indictments were found, but

many high street railway men. politicians

are shivering with apprehension.
The report declares the people Of st.

have existed among the sworn officers
and public servants for the last ten years

almost too appalling for belief. 1t says

The first tour of a President Of the
United States to South Carolina since
the Ciyil War began when President
Roosevelt, accompanied by Mrs. Roose-
welt. two cabinet members and others,
including a delegation of newspaper cor
respondents, left for Charleston to be the
guest of the South Carolina Interstate
and West Indian Exposition Company.
Had President Mckinley lived he would
undoubtedly have made visit to the ex-
position. in pursuance Of his plan to re-
ment more stronglr the steadily iaereas-
ing friendship between the South and the
North, In accepting the Charleston inyi-
tation President Roosevelt not only car
ried out the ideas OF his predecessor, but
followed his own inclination.
In Characteristic Southern hospitality
the exposition managers of the city OF
Charleston made elaborate preparations
Tor the entertainment of the presiden-
tial party Much of the first day was
occupied with a tour Of the harbor, dur
ing which Fort Sumter and other points
OF historic interest were visited. A ban

Hay and Corn Fodder.

Reports from the Western States now
seem to indicate larger acreage of
corn planted this year and possibly
more of the meadows broken up and
put in the corn crop, but as these will
probably be those which yield the least
hay. the increased use of the corn
shredder may make hay more abundant
In our market another winter, II the
season is at all favorable. When all
the corn-growing sections save and
shred their fodder. or put IT into silos.
they can elther keep more stock or sell
mere hay. As the market is now the
fodder would seem most profitable II

Growing sn gnr Reets.

The reports of the United States De
partment of Agriculture indicate that
in the States of California, Colorado,
Nebraska and Michigan the sugar beets
can be grown of such quality that they
can be used probably for sugar-mak-
ing if they can be bought cheaply
enough This also is true of some sec
tons OF New York and few tests lead
them to believe that they also can be
grown in Utah. Idaho and Oregon, with
a percentage of sugar high enough TO
warrant sugar being made from them.
But several hundred samples tested
from Iowa showed that the sugar CON
tent fell just short of the average stand
ard fixed for successful manufacture.
OF Illinois and Indiana beets the re-
port says. both the contents of sugar
and co-etficient Of purity were below
the standard" OF Kansas it is reported
that the climate is not suitable for
growing high-grade beets- In Okla-
homa the conditions are not called IA
vorable, and the chemists report that'
on the whole, Ohio is not adapted TO
growing sugar beets. The department.
tries to make as favorable report as
possible for the new industry. but II has
! nothing TO say about the profit or loss
to the farmers, who cannot average fif-
teen tons to the acre, and must cart
them or pay transportation to the fac
tory at a price of 81 per ton. In this
State 1t would be hard to get man TO
load them, carry them five miles and
unload them for much less than that
after they were grown aud harvested.

Corn Planting.

Many of the tests at experiment sta
tions have shown better yields from
planting moderately early, rather than
very early; from planting a larger mum
bier or kernels per acre than most good
farmers think advisable; from planting
small growing varieties in rows closer
together than is best for large varie-
ties; from giving shallow and level cul-
tivaton rather than deep and ridged
cultivation; from planting rather shall
low early and deeper in late planting.
Other trials have seemed TO show tnaI
very frequent cultivation does not re-
pay its cost; that ii is important to cul-
tivate as soon as may be after rains;
that deep cultivation while the stalks
are small mag be helpful, if followed
by shallow culture, says the agricul-
tural column of the Hartford Times. II
also adds that the farmer viii be bet
ter satisfied if he tries some expert
ments of this kind himself. and tries
them more than one season. that he
may be sure that the change in method
and not the season has changed results
With all of which we agree.

Plenty of clover will go a long way
toward making farm profitable.
\ cow that is well cared for is a

Bee-keepers should develop a home

There is no longer any profit In max
ing butter that cannot be classed
among the best grades.

When in the natural state poultry

to follow this as nearly as possible

Many a failure in the vegetable gar

whatever seed goa may require from
reliable dealers only.
If hen does not have access to

eggs for the reason that eggs contain
more water than anything else
The farmers who are successful are
those who never lose sight Of the fact
that the farm is home: THAT every

Seeding with ,CInxer.

When clover is sown early in the
spring on the crop of wheat or other
winter grain. it may cost nothing but
the price of the seed. which is not
much, whether ten or fifteen pounds is
used to the acre. and the labor of SOW
ing. yet we would prefer 10 increase its
cost by going over the wheat with a
light or smoothing harrow before SOW
ing the clover seed, says the New Eng
land Farmer. This will benefit wheat
or rye if done at the right time. when
the ground is not wet enough 10 cause
the harrow to sink too deep and uproot
the plants. This makes good seed
bed for the clover, and in a day or two
after the first rain the little plants will

Selecting Varieties.

If your strawberry market pays high
prices for early fruit, large. highly col
ored and at,ractively packed, it would
be foolish for one TO raise mainly the
mid-season SORTS and market them I'M
attractively. II potatoes bring good
prices and cabbages are drug, don't
raise cabbages. If white eggs are want
ed. don't keep fowls that lay brown
eggs. and vice versa. On the other
hand, if the best market is for the car
cass. keep Plymouth Rocks for this
trade and use the brown eggs al home
If they cannot be sold for fair price.
In short, eli along the lire. raise what
the market demands and do not try to
edueai "a the public TO some article it
does not want, simply because it seems
the best article to you.

Using Improved Tools.

There is no more reason why farm
er should hope to work advantageously
with half-worn or cumbersome to2lS
than the mechanic. and yet few of them
feel that they can afford the more mod
ern tools This is short-sighted econ
ony. and particularly so in the case OF
the heavier implements. which save SO
much hard labor One of the tools that
should be on every farm where consid
cradle manure is handled is the manure
spreader. By the use of the manure
spreader the heavy work Of hand
spreading is not only avoided, but the
spreader breaks up the manure and dis
tributes if evenly and in such form thai
ii benefits the soil equally wherever il
falls. There are no heavy Jumps here
and there and scant supplies in other
places. as with hand-spreading.
