CROPS HAVE BEEN LARGE.
Dat Yield in Oklahoma Is Annually
IMPROVING.

Guthrie O. T, Jan. 24-JOhn Fields,
director of the Oklahoma experiment sta
tion, says:
The cat crop has yielded well in Okla
homa for the past three years and has
brought good prices. The average of the
yields on the experiment station farm at
saltwater was as follows: 1900 - bushels
1901, IL bushels; 1902, 81 bushels per acre.
The variety used. in these trials was
Texas Red, one of the very best varieties
tested and one most commonly grown in
Oklahoma. This variety is used exclus-
lively for the general crop on the sta
ton farm. Early maturity and only n
moderate growth of strong straw are
the very desirable characteristics pos
sessed by this variety. The best varie-
ties lately introduced from the north
have not yielded as well.
The plats on which the above Yields
were secured were seeded as follows:
1900. March :; 1901, March l; 1892. March T.
Early seeding has been found To be very
important as it usually gives much the
best yields. If the season is not back
ward the seeding should begin by the
middle of February and should be fin
ished not later than the middle of March.
Many sow earlier than the middle of
February. but little is gained by this

Pantomime by Max O'Rell.

I'VE fixed up little joke on him. We
had noticed how gracefully he could
unite caustic criticism with a compll.
ment, faculty that enabled him to sa Y
the sharpest things without offending
the people he was crIticising. We
were going to put the faculty to a test.
I'VE had him lunch with us. and
there were at the table beside himself
an Englishman, Scotchman, an Irish
man and French Canadian. When we
got our guest off his guard we demand
ed an honest opinion of the different
races we represented. AS the opinion
had to be given In the presence of all
four, the situation for him was a
rather delicate one. But It never
seemed to trouble him, and he gave his
opinien without moments hesitation

clenched his right hand tightly and
pretended to try and force 1t open with

ent struggle. The Irishman-' and he
held out his hand wide open, with the
palm upwards. The Frenchman-'

as If he were emptying them on the

ton, but we all understood thoroughly,

With a Grain OF Salt.

Tales Of gastronomlcal prowess
abound in George III. Ellwanger's re-
cent book, "The Pleasures of the Ia.
ble." One in particular makes the feat
Of the growing boy look small indeed.
A drummer In the French army was
noted for hIs tremendous appetite. His
captain wagered that the man could
eat a whole calf, and the drummer,
proud Of his distinction, promised to
do honor to the captains compliment.
Accordingly a calf was prepared in
various appetizing ways. The drum
mer was dlsposing Of 1t. When ne
had finally consumed about three
quarters of the repast he paused, and
placing his knife and fork on his plate,
said to his superior officer:
"You had better have the calf
brought on, had you not, sir? All
these little klckshaws will end by tax

In many parts Of England there are
curious superstitions about birds. The
stonechat, for instance, is believed to
be continually chatting with the evil
one, so 1t is held in bad repute, and as
he raven commonly impersonates his
sable majesty it is ranked In the sane
category OF evil birds. Sometimes,
however, the ravens appearance, so it
ia held, forebodes death.
