America takes one-half of all the dia-
nonds produced each year. 1t is no I'M
common thing to see men here not
worth 81 900 wearing a $3.50 gem, fell
lows who are bound to cut splurge
even if they never save cent. ${
We have a friend who has let the
his orchard 1t is the old story While
he got some blackberries this year, he
got nary an apple, 1t is pretty hard to
grow two crops on the land at the
same time.
In the Wisconsin experimental Or
chard the three most promising apples
are Northwestern Greetings Patterns
Greetings and Okabena This orchard
is we'll north and results obtained
there will be worth much to a very
large section Of the country
If your soil is suffering from an ex-
cess Of humus evidenced by too rank
growth of stalk and straw and imper-
feet filling of grain, nothing will regu-a
late it better than a crop Of hax.ssNot
many men are troubled with this ex-
cess of good thing, butswhere it exists
flax will put the soil in a normal and.
productive condition.
Almost every man is a bit crankyson
somethingaas and we are cranky on the
matter ofyyhaying sharp tools to work
with. Work at best is bard enough
without LIZ Wig stos do 1t with dull Or
unpublished ,tpois With tools kept in
the shape they should be, much work
that is now rated as a. burden gmay be
transformed into a pleasure.
If one Wishes to raise roots for the
winter food Of the dairy COW nothing
will be better than mangel wurzels,
the yieldsof which on good land may
easily be :as much as thirty tons per
acre. While sugar beets and carrots
are more nutritious ration, the man
gel can be more easily grown and will
producesnuch more to the acre.
An objection to trailing vines around
the housssis the pesky English sparrow,
which Isbbound to use the vines as a
Westinghouse. We noted large church
in the Kitty Of Washington not long
since lAxgely covered with English ivy
which hm been SO appropriated by the
sparrowss with their nests that the side
of the church looked almost like hay

Some idea can be formed Of how
much America does to clothe and feed
the world by noting the exports of cot
ton the past year. 100000 bales Of
500 pounds each, 200,0OO,OOO bushels of
wheat. 75,00O00O bushels of corn and
no end of meats, dairy products and
fruits. The world would set but a
slim table were it not for the surplus
of good things obtained from this
country. HI HUH.
The possibilities of Argentina as "a
meat producer are practically unlim-
tied. This country proves to be- the
natural home Of alfalfa One of the
British consuls located there says that
inside Of ten years Argentina will be
able to furnish the English market
with 100000 hundredweight. of beef
and 100000 hundredweight Of NUT
ton or twice the amount needed to-
supply that country . "a

We noticeda he mistake made in the
management and care Of two public
parks recently parks in two thrifty
western cities Of 6,OOO popula lion. In
one the trees, which were mostly large
elms, had been trimmed up to a point
where the natural beauty of the, trees
was destroyed. In the other the trees
had been set in straight rows like cab
bages or corn and were SO thickly
planted that grass would not grow un-S
der them. The more a public park can 4
be made like q piece Of natural forest
the more attractive will it be. "A
Ignorance imported the English spar
row and fastened upon this country for
all time most unmitigated pest The \
same ignorance imported the German
carp and turned this worthless hog Of ]
fish loose In our bass pike and trout
streams The sparrows have driven
our choice song birds away and the
carp has taken possession and driven
the choice food fishes away. With carp
quoted IN the markets ats cent al
pound and black bass at is cents 1t Is
easy Ia realize what has been done ~
