The Farm or 5000 a Year.

A man OIL a good quarter section Of
land was complaining because he had
not made anything the past year and
expressed regret that his brother, who
was clerk in a town bank at a salary of
5000 a year., was so much better off
than he was. A friend did a little fig
uring for him and easily proved that
he was all wrong in his conclusions. 1t
figured out something like this: The
bank clerk got 5000, out of which he
had to pay $3.50 for rent of house, leav-
ing 1920 with which 20 meet all the
other many expenses of living for him
self, wife and three children. He really
had hard work to make both ends meet.
The brother on the farm had had his
house rent, the best board for himself,
wife and three children and wife's
mother, their clothing and all house
hold comforts. There was a new $400
barn which had been built; there were
ten head more cattle, 80 more hogs and
three more colts than a year previous,
a new surrey in the barn and $1,000
worth of new machinery, all either pro-
duced on the farm or paid for from
the products raised on the farm during
the year. Hold on" said the farmer.

YakutSk is the coolest SpOt on earth,
for it's geographical position. In the
winter it enjoys" for about two
months an average temperature of
quite 90 degrees of frost. But people
get used to many things, cold included,
and DR.. Landell says that, with % de-
grees of frost, children may be seen
running about in the open air stark
naked. 1t is also famed for its furs,
and the sables caught in the WITHIN and
Olekma forests are reckoned the finest,
blackest and smallest in Siberia, and,
therefore, the most valuable. Its SPUR
rels, too, are highly priced, and are
hunted only in winter, when the fur
is sometimes black, sometimes dark
gray: in summer it is red and in poor
condition. Another important center
of the fur trade is the district of the
Lower Amur, valuable sables coming
even from Southern M%anchuria: 10000
skins were sold annually at Khabarof-
ka some quarter of a century ago. Time
is ironical in the changes it brings;
the cost of skins. the sole covering of
primeval man, when he first wandered
away from climates where clothing was
needless, has become the decoration of
rank and the luxury of the wealthy. In
early days warmth and size would be
chiefly valued; the sable or the ermine,
probably, were classed with the rabbit
skin of the nursery rhyme, to wrap
Baby Bunting in" And the same
irony is seen in the furs themselves.
The ermine. once reserved by the game
keeper, which in Arctic climates, either
for protective or predacious purposes,
has turned white, all but the tip of it's
tail. The blue and other foxes, whose
skins fetch so high a price. are either
identical with or closely allied to the
familiar Reynard, while the sable,
whose skins a very few years ago were
sometimes worth from e2 to G5, even
in Khabarofka and Yakutsk, and in
cases of rare excellence have realized
ten times that sum, is so close a rela-
tion to the pine marten of Europe that
some naturalists have doubted whether
they can be Observation-Disclosures

We are asked some questions about
the A B C's of alfalfa, what it is, how
it grows, what it is good for, etc. While
such queries may seem almost unnec-
essary in the West, it should not be
forgotten that east of the Missouri rlv-
er alfalfa is a new and but little known
forage plant. For the benefit of those
who know but little about 1t we say
that it is one of the oldest known for
age plants, is of the clover family, pos
sessing the power of multiplying and en-
riching the soil upon which 1t grows,
but unlike clover, which is a biennial,
il lives for many years; its roots reach
far and deep for permanent moisture,
and this fact renders it largely indiffer-
ent to drought. 1t is richer in protein
or heterogeneous properties than any
other of our common forage plants, and
herein lies its great value. 1t is very
productive, from W. to five crops q
year being harvested. Stock of all
kinds is extremely fond of it, either
green or cured as hay, and it is so nu-
tritious that it largely takes the place
of grain. 1t will not grow on all soils,
and, while it seems to thrive anywhere
when the soil is under a system of irri-
CATION, where this is wanting the con-
ditions must be such as to permit its
roots to find a supply of permanent
moisture at a depth of from eight to
ten feet beneath the surface. The plant
has so much inherent value to all farm
ers that careful experimenting with it
will pay any farmer anywhere. The
seed may be obtained from any seed
house. 1t is known by the name of
lucerne in Europe.

VALUE OF CORN AS FUEL.
But It Is Doubtful Whether It Is
Practicable for Generation of Power.

Substitutes for coal have for many
years commanded attention, and es-
pecially SO during the past eight or
nine months in the United States, with
coal prices at abnormal figures as a re-
suit of the anthracite miners strike
last year. Peat and briquetted saw
dust, wood, oil, and many other sub
stances have been under consideration,
and among them also corn, this last
particularly having been spoken Of as
something quite new, though, as a mat
ter of fact, corn has, for a long time,
been used as fuel in the farming dis
tricts of the western sections OF the
United States, and that, too, with very
satisfactory results.
In a general way, it was recognized
there that when corn was abundant and
cheap and coal was expensive, the for
mer made a cheaper fuel than the lat
ter, although no scientific determine
ton of their relative efficiency had been
made until a short time ago, when tests
were made by the department of agri-
culture of the University Of Nebraska.
These showed, among other things, that

from 22,512, 900 to 45, 024 900 units, not

tanned from the stalk. Since a ton of
good coal will give up from about 90
600 900 to 2G, 900, 900 units, an acre of
ground is each year capable of pro-
ducing fuel which is equal to from 0.S7
or 1,28 to LIS or 2.56 ton of coal. The
stalk will probably increase this
amount by one-fourth or one-third.
The experience gained from boiler
tests with corn fuel made it appear
doubtful whether corn would be a prac-
tical fuel for the generation of power,
unless it were burned in some special
furnace that would ensure the perfect
combustion of the volatile matter which
forms so large a percentage of the
whole corn, and which is driven off at
a comparatively low heat. Some form
of automatic stoker would also be de-
sirable, since the corn burns rapidly
and must be frequently fired, making
the work of the firemen very arduous,
and at the same time tending to cause
incomplete combustion by the excess
of cold air entering through the fire.

The Modern Robin Hood.

We have recently had a chance to
note the library buildings which in a
half dozen towns visited and which
may be found all over the country are
now in course of erection, the gifts Of
multimillionaires so called philanthro-
pists. While not questioning the good
which may result from these gifts, we
have never yet looked at one with a
feeling of unalloyed appreciation of the
philanthropy evidenced in the gift. We
cannot get rid Of the feeling hat some
thing is radically wrong where 1t Is
even possible for one man to be so gen.
erous in his benevolences. The ques-
ton is being asked by the farmers of
America and will have to be answered,
Why, If the accumulation of such
wealth as lies back of these libraries
and colleges is an im~possibility for as
r%iculture, the base and foundation of
our national prosperity, should men in
other lines of business be granted the
privilege? Robin Hood held up the
a~ristocrat and the wealthy and gave his
pilfering to the poor, and so Robin be-
came a benevolent outlaw. Our twen-
tieth century Robin HOOD should be
elected to congress.
