Lawn tennis at the university has leaped
forward into marked prominence among the
athletically inclined during the last week
and the revival in this game bids fair to
be stronger at this school than anywhere
else in the state. In the first place there

Iowa. He is working for form to enter
the interstate tournament at Sioux City
next summer. He has a great Lawford

Many tournaments are planned for the

This is to determine the team to play
Kansas here shortly. II seems a surety
that F~arnsworth and Falyer will secure
the places. but Peters, Teiner and Roth
will be strong runners up. In addition to
these local events many matches with
other universities are planned. The latest

THE POULTRY YARD.
CONDITIONS IN SUMNER.

Where fowls are kept in confinement
they should have plenty of shade. There
are many poultrymen, farmers especially,
that believe they cannot afford to have
their birds running all over the farm, for
which they may have good reasons,
but if they are kept in confinement they
seem to forget the fact that the birds
may die of heat and exhaustion if left in
the sun all summer. 1t is very little
trouble to place few bushes of some
kind in the poultry yard, and sow some
kind of grass seed, for that also helps to
keep the birds contented. A good plan
is to have two yards, and while the
fowls are using up the grass in one yard
let some be growing in the next one dur
ing the summer. The birds will not
only be hundred times more cOmforta-
BILE, but will repay their owner by laying
better. If fowls are suffering from heat
they will not eat, nor will they scratch,
and when they stop eating and scratch
ing there is certainly loss in the num-
Der of eggs. See to it that there is
plenty of water in the yards for them,
and it must be renewed several times a
day during warm weather. There is no
more pitiful sight in the poultry yard
than to see flock of fowls with their
mouths open trying to get a little air,
and seeking for place of shade when
there is nothing but stretch of wire
around a hot, dry piece of land. On
the contrary it is very pleasant to see a
lot of birds under the bushes, or under
the shade of tree, resting and busting
themselves. By all means make the
birds comfortable and they will repay it
in their own way, which every one
knows is by laying well.-Mirror and

The Seven Golden Cities one OF
the most popular legends of the latter
part of the dark ages, were said to be
situated Oh an island west Of the AZ
rican coast. The island Is represented
as Astounding in gold, with magnificent
houses and temples, 1.-The high towers
Of which shone at great distance
The legend also relates that at the
time of the conquest of Spain and Por-
tugal by the Moors, when the inhabit-
ants fled in every direction to escape
slavery, seven bishops, followed by
great number of people, took to ships
and put boldly out on the high seas.
After tossing about for some time they
landed ON an unknown island. the IA
nous spot which in after years became
the seat of the Seven Golden Cities"
This island" Heylyn says. "was ex-
actly in midocean." After all had
landed safely the wise old bishops
burned the ships to prevent their fol-
lowers from deserving and founded the
cities which have become so famous In
song and story. This mysterious is
land was often sought by the early
navigators. Those who went In search
of it and never returned were popular
" believed to have been detained by
its inhabitants.

PASSING OF THE PUBLIC RANGE.

According to telegram from Helena,
Mont, the cattlemen of the Northwest
are buying land rapidly and settling
down with their herds. They have be-
gun to realize that the public range will
soon be a thing of the past, and that the
man who would continue in the business
of raising cattle must have land of his
own upon which to Craze them. This
is an encouraging feature of the live
stock industry, for it means more cattle
on the same number of acres and better
cattle than have been produced by the
ranges. At the same time, it makes the
cattleman independent and no longer at
the mercy of the seasons, compelled TO
move hither and thither with his herds
in order to find sustenance for them.
As surely as the rolling stone gathers
no moss the rowing steer puts on NO
flesh. While the ranges have produced
magnificent animals and have contribut-
ed largely to the country's beef supply,
the best beef has been produced in the
feed lots, where shelter, the proper food
in proportions and freedom from an
noyances contributed to the development
of the animal. In the delopment of
the rowing ranger into the gentle
bovine of the feed lot, the introduction
of better blood, the removal of the horns
and the sheltered feed lot have played
an important part. The breeding up
process is being continued, the wide
spreading horns are growing scarce, and
more and more feeders are beginning to
realize that what the trade wants is a
steer that is matured early in life, and
to do this care and attention which can
not be bestowed on the range are
nee essary. City Telegram.

quent rains which delayed in measure
the sowing of grain. The weather Of
the last half of the month just now
closed, however, has been specially
favorable for pushing along the work of
planting. As result the seed is now
substantially all in the ground over the
entire state, the exception being, chiefly,
those crops where late seeding is prefer
able. With ample time for the work the
land has been thoroughly prepared and
put in unusually good condition for the
seed and for the later methods of the
care of the crops. All over the state
farmers are catching on to the advantage
of so preparing the land before the seed
is planted that the hoeing is largely
done before it is in fact begun. This
broadcast thorough preparation of the
land by team work. before the seed is
put into the ground so commends itself
to the good judgment of farmers that
few are now found who are not prepared
to take advantage of the practice. The
fine weather of the past few weeks has
been specially favorable for carrying
out such work.
Prices of stock of all kinds are high,
and likely to remain so for some time
to come, and farmers are hustling all
around to take advantage of the situation.
Animals of the best breedin., in cattle,
sheep and swine, are being freely intro
duced, and with them increased efforts
at growing the needed crops to feed
them. Altogether farmers throughout
the state are wide awake to the situation,
and have started in to make this one of
the profitable years of their expert ence.

Undoubtedly the most marvellous tree
In the world grows In Brazil. 1t Is the
carnahuba palm and can be employed
for many useful purposes. Its roots
produce the same medicinal effect as
sarsaparilla. Its stems afford strong,
liSh tibers. which acquire a beautiful
luster and serve also for joists, rafters
and other building materials as well as
for stakes for fences.
From parts of the tree wines and
vinegar are made. 1t yields also sac
charine substance as well as starch
resembling sago. Its fruit is used for
feeding cattle. The pulp has an agree
able taste, and the nut, which is ole
aginous and emulslye, is sometimes
used as a substitute for coffee. OF the
wood OF the stem musical instruments,
water tubes and pumps are made. The
pith is an excellent substitute for cork.
From the stem a white liquid similar
to the milk of the cocOanut and Hour
resembling maizena, may be extracted.
OF the straw, hats, baskets, brooms
and mats are made. \ considerable
quantity Of this straw is shipped to Eu-
rope, and a part of 1t returns to Brazil

also used for thatching houses. More
over, salt is extracted from it and like

AGRICULTURAL HOME MARKET.

With the steady and rapid congestion
of the towns and cities, the food market
is constantly expanding. There are
over 80 municipalities in Massachusetts,
and almost all of them are growing at
rate that has hardly ever been equalled
in the past Add to these the large
towns where manufacturing is carried
on, making communities that consume
large quantities of food products, but
produce practically none, and it will be
readily seen that the home market is
very absorptive and exhaustive one. 1t
seems as though it would keep the agri-
cultural lands of the state in active culti-
vation to meet this daily and growing
need. 1t hardly seems possible that the
farmers should be at loss to know
what to raise. Everything is grist for
the metropolitan market, hay and grain,
dairy products of all kinds, poultry,
eggs, fruit, nuts and vegetables.
The president of the American Pro-
teetive league says the home market is
the most splendid market in the world,
and SO it is. Moreover, the food market
is the most splendid and reliable part OF
it, and when we hear the farmers com
plain that they cannot make decent NV
ings with this market within easy reach
of all of them, in this section OF the
country, there is something inexplicablt
about it.-Boston Transcript.

wasse wIul ALslks cLoveR GROW


Alsike clover will grow reasonably
we'll on almost any kind of clay land,
even though it should be stiff clay. II
will grow excellently well on loan soils,
moist and deep, and more especially If
they rest ON u reasonably penetrable
clay foundation. Ii they abound in
lime, so much the better for the clover.
This clover will also grow much better
ON the soils that characterize slough
lands. If these are underlaid with clay
not too far down, they furnish u para
disc for this plant. 1t seems to need
more moisture than the other varieties
of clover, and can also thrive better on
black soil. Alsike can also stand water
much better than other clovers. In cool
weather it may be covered with shall
low depth of water for two or three
weeks at time without apparent injury.
On the ordinary soils of the prairie this
clover is much prone to grow short and
weakly. On light sands it will not do
very well; in fact, in dry season, on
such land it cannot make headway. The
same is true of gravelly lands. 1t is
fortunate that this clover grows well in
low lands. These are best adapted to
the growth of timothy, hence, the two
may be grown in fine form together. AS
they ripen together, both may be cut
when at their best, and the alsike grow
ing among the timothy causes it to grow
finer. The two make the best of fod-
