being made in southern Minnesota

fence with this forage crop in Kansas,

it will produce an average of $40 per
acre annually of profit I'VE cost of
production. And this is being quite
commonly done in Nebraska on lands
that, unimproved, are selling below

brought to market from alfalfa with

runs from two to fifteen bushels per
acre and sells at for So to 81 per bush

is a plant that is destined to add many
millions to the land values Of the west.

DiSlNFECTlNG A SHIP.
sfoist Heat, q Thorough Germicidal
Agent, Is Used. @

Moist Heat, q Thorough Germicfdal
Agent, Is Used
When the vessel has tied up to the
wharf in New Orleans, the first step is
the removal Of the bedding, clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics to
the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on a framework consisting Of q
series Of racks suspended from a long
car running OH a track and SO, arranged
that when the racks are filed the
whole thing may be u inside one Of
the three great disinfecting cylinders
with whict, the station Is equipped.
These cylinders are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet in length BY eight feet
In diameter and fitted inside with con-
tnuous coils of steam pipe. The cylin-
ders are covered with asbestus and
swathed in felt, and when the cylinder
caps are on they are alright. When
the clothing has been placed inside and
the cylinders closed, dry heat is forced
through the pipes at q temperature Of
$50 degrees, and this is followed by
moist heat raised to a temperature Of
2SO degrees. The pressure of from six
to eight pounds put upon this steam
heat is sufficient to force it through
heavy mattresses OF bundles Of cloth
ing.
After a period which varies from
thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders
are opened, the racks are run out, and
the rapid evaporation which follows
causes the clothing to dry almost Inn
mediately. The clothing is unframed
by this process, and the moist heat is q
thorough germicidal agent. It is an In
~teresttng fact that if a freshly launder-
ed linen shirt or collar is put into the
cylinder it will emerge thoroughly
moist and apparently in need of anoth-
er% starching. The evaporation is SO rap
Id, however, that it is Immediately re-
stored to- its original condition, not
even the gloss being remoyed.-Leslie's

Vice President Paul Morton, of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee railroad,
has written to the editor Of the Atch-
ison Globe, as follows: LET me sug-
gest that you preach to your agricul-
tural readers the Importance Of the
cow and the hen. In making some
investigation as to markets that might
be secured outside of the United
States, 1 was utterly amazed to seer
tain from official sources that for the
calendar year 1900, the United King
dom (England, Scotland and Ireland)
imported SS4, 922,5 42 worth of butter,
and that only .0142 of it, less than
$1,2O0,00O was exported from the
United States. I also learn that the
same countries imported over $4,000
coo worth Of eggs, and the United
States supplied less than 2 per cent
of them. These figures are SO i'm
portant that it seems that they should
be given widespread circulation. I
DO not believe our farmers understand
what a tremendous demand there is
in Great Britain for butter and eggs
and how unresponsiVe our country is
in supplying it. I understand that
most of the butter used in England
comes from Denmark. Norway, Swed-
en-, Holland and Australia, and I also
understand that it has to be packed in
a peculiar way in order to interest the
English trade The people of Kan
sas are now abundantly able to i'm
prove the grade Of their COWS and
chickens. and it seem to be that they
ought to be kept posted on the oppor-
tunity there is to market these pro-
ducts"

Italy's Marriage Brokers.

Marriage brokers are a regular insti-

eral marriage brokers who have pock-
etbooks filed with the m Of the
maria geable girls Of the different
classes, with notes Of their figures, per-
sonal attractions, fortune and other cir
cumstances. These brokers go about
en~deavoring to arrange matrimonial al
liances in the same offhand mercantile
manner which they would bring to

ton. and when they succeed they get a

HOW THE CHINESE GET RAIN
Peculiar PracticeB In Vogue In the
"a Celestial Kingdom.

Peculiar Practices In Vogue In the
Celestial Kingdom.
1t Is of the peculiarities OF the
Chinese that, while they have develop
I'd elaborate PHILOSOPHERS, none of them
formit5 81 nature. Neither the pepple
9 their rulers have any liked opinion
as to tie causes Of rainfall. The plan
Ia some provinces when the need of
rain & fclt is to borrow a god from a
neighboring district and petition him
for the desired rain. If his answer. is
satisfactory, he is returned to his home
with every mark of honor; otherwise
be may be put out in the sun as a hint
to wake up and do his duty. a bunch
Of willow is usually thrust into his
hand, as willow Is sensitive to mois-
ture. -
Another plan in extensive use is the
building of special temples in which
are wells containing several iron tab
lets. When there is a scarcity of rain,
a messenger starts out with a tablet
marked with the date of the journey
and the name of the district making
the petition. Arriving at another city,
he pays a sum of money and is allow
ed to draw q new tablet from the well,
throwing in his own by way Of ex-
change. On the return journey he is
supposed to eat only bran and travel
at top speed day and night. Some
times he passes through districts as
greatly in need of rain as his own.
Then the people in these places way
lay him and, temporarily borrowing his
tablet, get the rain intended for anoth-
er place. e
Prayers are usually made in the fifth
and sixth months when the rainfall Is
always due. and a limit Of ten days
is set for their effective operation. IN
der such conditions rain usually falls
during the prescribed time. When the
prayers are in progress, the umbrella,
among other objects. comes under the
ban. In some provinces foreigners
have been mobbed for carrying this
harmless article at that time.
