UHPRoDUCTIvE ACRES.

The unproductive acre on the farm
Il a different proposition from the nm
productive COW in the dairy. Both are
bad leaks, but with the COW which does
not pay for her board regeneration Is
impossible, and she should be sent to
the feed yard, but the pnproducttye
acre cannot be thus got rid of and
becomes a problem involving regsner-
alton. 1t may be q hillside, poor soil,
washing badly, for which one Of two
things may be done it can be got into
grass and kept there, or 1t may be
planted with fruit or forest trees The
acre may be strip all round the line
fence grown up to weed and bramble.
This should be reclaimed by breaking
up and seeding down. 1t may be a wet
acre in the middle Of the field which q
little job Of thing will reclaim, or, if
this cannot be done, it would grow a
lot of nice willows. Then it may be an
acre and perhaps more which has been
SO starved and robbed that oats foot
high or ten bushels of corn is all it will
produce, in which case seed down with
clover and give it twenty five loads of
barnyard manure to the acre. There is
still another acre bordering the public
highway which should be so treated
that it will produce ton or more of
good hay each year instead OF a useless
mass Of weeds and rubbish. We would
not be looking for more land until these
unproductive acres were reclaimed and
utilized if we We're in your place. So
far as the old COW is concerned, see
that Chicago gets her and not your
neighbor or the local butcher.

THE WIRE AGE.

We sometimes think that the present
might properly be called the wire age.
Present progress would be impossible
without wire. 1t carries our messages
over land and under the sea, permits
US to talk one with the other, though
a thousand miles apart, seizes the wa
terfall in the almost inaccessible noun
tain canyon and transmits it's power a
hundred miles or more to centers of
civilization. A wire makes possible the
vast interurban traffic of the country,
the lighting Of our municipalities and
homes, the distribution of power in all
places, whether far up or down deep in
the earth; it transmits the news of the
world, regulates the markets, forms
the fencing Of the nation, serves as
burglar alarm, clothesline, ships rig
ging and bed springs and in almost
numberless ways indispensably minis
tiers to the comfort and prosperity Of
man. It is the wire age sure enough

STICK TO THE HOME CREAMERY
AS it looks to us those farmers who
withdraw their patronage from their
home creamery and sell their cream to
some big concern hundred miles away
are making serious blunder. The
home creamery thus shorn of patron
age, will of necessity be compelled to
shut down. When this is done and the
trust creameries control the situation
they will pay the farmer what they
please for his product or give him the.
poor alternativeof selling his butter to
the local merchant. The sensible and
businesslike thing to do is to stand.

Institution no matter what tempting

Germs. Some can't see it this way now,

 New York, March 26.-Francis R. Fast, of N. 4s! Liberay street, a mem- Der of the Medico-Legal society of New York, in an article on the home life of the spartans and Maeedonians at the time of Alexander the GSsat, says: @The Macedonians 2soo yea lls go had a well-known rule to secure always male offspring. They, like the Spartans and other warlike people, had so few in- habitants that every birth had to be a boy-a future fighting man-and the arrival of a girl baby was disgrace They depended for wives upon neigh boring states, or women captured in war. I discovered the Macedonian rule 20 years ago, since which time I have communicated it to many hundreds of families who have written to me, and they have never failed to have the boy or girl which it was their desire to possess, am always willing to an- sWer inquiries from parents who are vitally interested. The rule is so simple, and is so easily complied with, that every married couple is enabled to choose the sex of their children before hand, and they will be better and healthier children"

British Ship Discovery's Crew Proves
 Its Existence.
 London, March 26.-President Mark ham of the Royal Geographical soci- ety, commenting on the achievements of the British Antarctic ship Discovery, says it has been proved conclusively that the greater part of the antarctic region is a vast continent.
 Captain Scott, R. N. commander of the Discovery, penetrated one hundred miles farther south than any previous explorer and discovered an extensive mountainous region, hitherto unknown, extending to S3.20 south.
 He thinks this indicates that the land stretches to the Pole in a series of lofty mountains, which is considered to be far the most important geographical result ever achieved in antarctic ex- ploration.
 The Discovery wintered 400 miles farther south than any vessel had pre- viously Wintered.
