To Make Corn Crop Profitable.

In the eastern states, where dairy
ing is large industry, more land may
be devoted to corn, not for sale or ex-
portation. but to feed on the farm from
the silo or as grain to the cattle and
hogs and thus save purchasing, says
an Ohio farmer in American Agricul-
turist. For the protein needed to bal
ance the ration clover or alfalfa may
be grown for roughage, and soy beans
will give the protein concentrate re-
Quired.
These crops should make the dairy
farmer almost independent. as little
bran would be required. Then let him
weed out his dairy. keeping no cow
that does not give over 5000 pounds of
milk or make 800 pounds of butter in
year. Corn, in my opinion, cannot be
grown in the middle and eastern states
in competition with the great west for
shipment. The grain and slower must
be utilized on the farm and marketed
in live stock or dairy products to make
the corn crop profitable to the farmer
of the Ohio valley OF the older eastern
states.

Sable Sheen.

Sable sheep are not frequently seen
in England, but ebony lambs are plen-
tiful in the Australian commonwealth
A colonial fockmaster had quite a
number of black lambs, and he folded
them in a range by themselves. He
found that black lambs might not re-
cur in a flock in generations and then
recur suddenly. For example, where a
black ram was used in flock of white
ewes the product was white lambs,
with few exceptions, and where sire
and dam were ebony colored the lambs
were mostly white. And so the Aus
tralians gave up the attempt to found
sable flock. Where wool is dyed a
deep color sable wool absorbs less dye
and makes a more durable color. Still
black fleece absorbs more sun rays than
white, and black sheep are more seri-
ously affected by heat.-London Live

for $75 per acre, or a total of S12 600.

DR. and Mrs Albert Kittelsen, who have
been spending the past two months with
DR. Kittlesen's parents in this city, left
Wednesday on their return trip to the
Pacific coast. They stop at Chicago for
a short visit with friends, and will also

Japhet Lindeberg, of Nome, Alaska,
was guest Monday at the home of Levi
Kittilsen. Mr. Lindeberg was one of the
first discoveries of the gold deposits of
Nome and is the next largest operator in
mining in the district. He is young
man and came from Norway shortly be-
fore locating in Alaska.
liver Lunde, an aged pioneer of Pleas
ant Springs, passed away Monday at his
home near the Western church, after
having suffered for about a year with
chronic Bright's disease. Funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. Krostu
Wednesday afternoon at the Western
church. He is survived by wife and
four children-three sons and daught-
er. The deceased was IS years, 6 months
old and was native of Sogn, Norway,
emigrating to this country in 1S47. He
was a victim of the gold fever and spent
some time in California, but returned
and located on the farm on which he has
since resided.
The smallpox scare has evidently sub
sided and there seems to be no cause
whatever for any further alarm. No new
cases have been reported in the city, and
the three patients mentioned last week
are now in the convalescent stage and
doing nicely. Last week our physicians
were largely kept busy vaccinating, and
it is estimated that between four and
five hundred persons in the city and
from the surrounding country have been
vaccinated since the commencement of
the scare. Quite a number of these have
in consequence been somewhat under
the weather the past week.

Mr. John Carpenter, of GAINESVILLE, died
on Wednesday evening, Jan %, 1902, of
complication of diseases, aged about TO

The first test of the waterworks took
place Wednesday, and as far as we are
able to judge was perfect success. -Four
hose were attached to two hydrants on
the square and steady inch stream was
thrown from each to height of over 80
feet. The hose were attached to n.y.
drants on Church and Madison street
corner at the same time, and a stream
thrown at least twenty feet above the Nj
E church. Hydrants in different parts
of the city were tested and all, with no
exception, worked to perfection. Ger
tainly no fire which we could ever have
in this city could long flourish under the
immense volume of water which could
be brought to immediate use.

There is a great deal of rough, bro
ken land in western and southwestern
Texas that will grow fairly good grass
that cannot be successfully cultivated,
says Dallas Farm and Ranch. At the
same time there are millions of acres
in the state that are now being graZed
that can be successfully planted and
cultivated, at least in forage crops. By
increasing the acreage cultivated of
these tillable lands their cattle prOduc
ing capacity will be CORRESPONDENCE
increased. In other words, q given ter
ritory with a large percentage cult
waited in forage crops will produce, fat
ten and feed more cattle than will the
same amount of similar territory
where the native grasses are relied on
solely for feed. 1t usually requires
ten acres to the animal to supply feed
the year around when the natural
grasses are relied Oh, while ten acres
properly cultivated in forage crops
will produce feed enough to carry
half dozen cattle through the winter,
and five acres of the same land will
carry one animal through the spring,
summer and fall. By raising feed and
feeding through the winter the ranch
man and farmer not only guards
against the possibility of loss, but also
more than doubles the capacity Of his
property.
This years experience Of feeders
with shredded corn fodder will go a
long way toward determining the stat
us of this too much neglected forage,
says American Agriculturist. If at
tentiOn is given to thorough drying be-
fore shredding. there can be but little
doubt as to the outcome. So far as
the careful farmer is concerned, shred
ded fodder has passed the experiment
tai stage. He knows it is first class
rough feed and that if given the prop
er attention keeps perfectly. Howev-
er, the average farmer and stockman,
with his somewhat careless methods,
may not get the best results. But he
knows that the fault is his own, and
he can remedy it if he will. The con-
ditionS are much the same as those
confronting a community asking for
free rural delivery. The government
says, provide good roads. and you
will get free delivery" Adopt i'm
proved methods, and you will get good
feed. The results of this seasons ex-
perience will be awaited with interest.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
Who Reaches Out Too Eager
Iy After 1t.

All who run after the gilded char
lot of Joy get covered with dust, and
are left limping along the road quite
bereft of that degree of comfort
with which they started on the mad
race.
Yet sometimes, when the quest for
ones own happiness is quite out OF
mind when one is absorbed in max
ing someone else happy, down like
a bird from the highest heavens
comes Joy, and settles as if at home,
in the heart that has forgotten itself
Happiness is never touched by the
hand that reaches out for it too
eagerly. 1t flies into some hand open
to give, not stretched out to receive,
saws Woman's Home Companion.
The angels always appear unex.
pectedly, as did the angel who sat
by the tomb when Mary visited it at
dawn. Going out to mourn, she was
met by unimaginable joy.
How often does the long-antici.
pated feast turn out to be a famine
gaiety having fed from the house
overborne by much bordering prep
aration.
He who seeks happiness for its
own sake shall lose it, and he who
loses happiness for another's sake
shall find it, even in the hour when
he thinks it is gone from him for
ever, and Is content to have 1t so.

The Bridegro om,s Mistake.

An unfortunate mistake was made
by bridegroom week or two ago.
After getting into the train which
was to take himself and his spouse
away On their honeymoon, he noticed
a shoe lying on the floor of the car
rage. Thinking one of his friends
had thrown it there during the send
off he picked it up and flung it out
of the window. A little later on he
was surprised to see a commercial
traveller who had awakened from a
deep sleep peering under the seats
and on top of the rack and inquir-
ing if any one had seen shoe which
he hal taken off to ease his corns.
Then the bridegroom discovered his
mistake, and the first purchase OF
his married life was a new pair Of
shoes for an absolute stranger
