Watt Memorial Moven ent.

At a recent meeting of the commit
tee having charge of the matter of the
proposed James Watt memorial, it was
announced that the body had issued
a request to a number Of gentlemen
eminent in scientific and industrial
circles. to furnish the committee with
their opinions as to what shape the
memorial should take, whether it
should be a monument pure and
simple or an institution for scientific
research. Practically all of these gem
tlemen were in favor of an education
institution Of some character, and it Is
highly probable that the memorial will
take this shape. There is already a
monument to the memory of Watt at
Greenock, the birthplace of the great
inventor. Andrew Carnegie, who has
already promised a large sum of
money for the purpose. has charge of
the American end of the movement.
While his subscription alone is OF suff1-
cient size to insure the success of
the movement, it is desired that it
shall not be a "one-man" affair anG
efforts will be made to awaken inter
est all over the world

A recent number OF the Boer news
paper, O1s Land, contains an article
describing the experier ces Of a Boer
who went to German Southwest AT
RIGA In 1901 to settle there. The moral
condition Of the country, he writes,
is serious. Most of the Germans have
negro wives. To find a German in
the country districts, he says, with a
white wife Is rarity. At baptism
Of the child OF a German father and
negro mother, which he attended at
Rehoboth, two German officers were
present with their negro wives. Com
pulsory service is equally applicable
to whites and blacks, and both serve
in the ranks together. He concludes:
For my part, eighteen months ex
perience has brought me to the con.
clusion that 1t is better to be q slave
Under the English government than a
free man In German Southwest At

WHITE HOLLAND TURKEYS

White Holland turkeys are said to
have come from the country whose
name they bear Originally they were
a small-sized turkey, about like the
old-time black turkey for size, in
form short-bodied, compact-built
turkey, pure white in plumage. with
pinkish white shanks; the pinkish
white shank is their emblem Of pur-
ity They were not originally what
might be called a sturdy variety-in
fact. they were rather delicate in COM
paris0n with other turkeys. Some
years ago, white sports presumably
from the bronze variety, were crossed
upon the White Holland. increasing
size, vigor and prolific stamina. This
same influence has changed the shade
CT color in the shanks, but this has
ii no way injured them as a market
turkey. Today the white turkey. if
well selected, is one of our very best
market turkeys.-Country Gentleman.

LIVE STOCK FARMING.

Prof. Panel of the Iowa Expert
ment Station urges that live stock
farming is the most profitable. He
says:
1T has been demonstrated both by
experience and practice that the farm
er who sells beef, pork and mutton
that he has produced from the corn
and grass raised and fed on the farm
makes more money per acre of his
land and per dollar CT his capital than
the one who grows only wheat or corn
or cotton and sells it. It is not neces-
sary to entirely discontinue raising
these crops, but If We are to produce
2 surplus to be sold in foreign mar
kets it is best to expert that surplus
in the most condensed and market
able form. as meat and animal pro
duets, rather than in the original
crude and bulky state.
In the long run the farmer viii
make the most money who devotes
his fields TO the growing CT forage
crops to feed stock. making use Of
all the raw products ct home, there
by saving not only much Of the cost
of transportation, bIt maintaining
the fertility Of the soil, BY doing SO,
corn-belt farmers will maintain their
pre-eminence in agricultural lines.
Experience of the past few months
has shown that the men who stuck to
feeding and were not tempted by high
prices to sell their corn have made the
most money. Anything that will en-
nance the productive capacity Of our
soils for the production of forage con-
ditions will help the farmer"
