george lies, In Worl0S s work.
From the first Professor Robertson has
maintained that grain, fodder and hay,
when sold by the farmer, carry away vastly
more of the accumulated fertility of his
land than when these are worked up into
dairy products with the aid of brains and
common sense. Five pounds of cheese sell
for as much as a bushel of wheat and re-
move from the land scarcely tithe as
much of its plant food. One hundred dol
lars worth of butter bears off from the
soil less of its valuable elements than )
cents worth Of hay. To an important ex-
tent the same is true in rearing pigs and
poultry for the market, and here he is
never tired of repeating that what may be
saved by wise economy may be far exceed
ed by commanding the highest prices in
producing the trst qualities. The best
brands of bacon, the best chickens. bring
prices so much higher than second best
that to aim at anything else is to waste
time In plainly worded and illustrated
pamphlets he has sent information broad
cast regarding the best strains OF pigs,
sorts of feed, pens and treatment. The re-
suit is most gratifying; six years ago Can
ada exported in hams, bacon and pork $,-
100000 worth; last year the figures were
$12, 500, 900. Nearly treble is a good increase
but twelve times is still better, and that Is
the rate at which the poultry exports ad-
vanced from 1896 to 1902. At government
stations the best strains of chickens have
been ascertained as well as the best modes
of artificial Matching, rearing, fattening
killing, plucking, shaping and shipping
That fattening pays handsomely came out
in experiments at Professor Robertson
own poultry yard. He says: Il had more
cold meat for the table from one fatteneC
chicken than from three chickens unfat
tened. The cost of feed consumed was 6a
cents per pound of increase in weight
The usual object lesson is afforded al
So h. t,-.1
practice is illustrated and the fatteneC
fowls sent TO market.

The Garden.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
The small garden is the one that gives its
owner pleasure. Probably the majority of
those who cultivate small gardens make no
profit, but actually suffer loss, when the
crops compared to the cost of seeds,
fertilizers and labor, but there is consid-
erabue pleasure derived, the value of which
cannot be estimated. No matter how small
the plot owned or rented may be, the one
who can bestow a portion of the time to the
cultivation of crops the coming spring
should do so. There are some things grown
in a garden that cannot easily be procured
in market, when the freshness and quality
are considered. No one can buy toma toes
in market equal to those taken from the
vines and placed on the table. If plot is
very fertile, and is no larger than half an
acre, the amount or produce that can be
grown thereon will supply an ordinary
family from early spring until late in the
fall. Beginning with onions and green peas,
with beets, carrots, parsnips and early cab
bage followed with string beans, lima
beans, tomatoes, sweet corn, turnips and
late cabbage, two crops can be grown on the
same location during the season. Potatoes
need not be planted in a garden, as the crop
demands protection from the beetle. In
April May, if desired. a small straw
berry patch may BE- started, which will
come into bearing the following spring.

Freak Farming,
ountry Life in America

Country Life in America.
There are radically different ideas as to
what the better agriculture should consist
in. The real farmer is said to adhere too
closely to the ways of his fathers. He
plods The city man who goes to the
country would correct all this by over
turning it. He sees revolution in every
thing with which he has to do. Ways of
doing business are not so much improved
as revolutionized. The new things are of
different kind from the old The auto
mobile is not an Improvement of the horse
and carriage; it is a new creation. The
new telegraphy uses no wires to carry its
messages. The X-rayS allow us TO see
through a board. The man who is familiar
with all this wants to introduce some who'll
ly new and startling thing when he goes
into farming. He would reform it and revo-
lutionize it. The upshot of it is likely to
be a kind of freak farming. He will grow
some speciality. perhaps popcorn. pigeons.
liquorice, ginseng wormwood. madder. bas-
ket willow, Angora goats, Skunks.
The point is that these small crops and
Fictitious enterprises are mere side issues
and really have no great effect agri-
cultural prosperity as whole. They may
be very profitable here and there but
they are for the few and special conditions.
Mere specialties cannot revolutionize a great
series OF businesses like the agricultural
businesses, that engage four times more
fixed capital than manufactures. We have

as mere diversion. In the upheaval of old
ideals. we have made many impractical
experiments. but the farmer stands by the
old things, improving them slowly and sure

farming.

FOR PAYMENT OF COUPONS.


Use $557 900 from Peoria Funds.
In the Federal Court yesterday. Judge
Anderson directed that $557,500 be taken
from the Peoria fund Of past due coupons
of the Terre Haute & Peoria mortgage
bonds and applied to the payment Of cou-
pons The petition against the Terre Haute
& Indianapolis Railway filed by Mark
T. Cox. James A Blair and James v.
Paul. jr.
When volney T. Malott was appointed re-
ceiver of the Terre Haute & indianapolis
Railroad Company, and directed TO take
charge of the companies owned, leased and
operated, the order of appointment re-
quired him to pay into separate and distinct
funds the rentals accruing TO the campa-
nies owning the leased lines. Subsequent
orders of court empowered the receiver TO
perform the stipulations of the leases, and
to pay out of the rental funds thus created
the fixed charges and taxes on the leased
lines. except that the interest on the Terre
Haute < Peoria bonds was not to be paid,
the validity of the lease of that road be-
ing attacked by the Terre Haute * Indian
apolis Company. The leaseof the Terre Haute
& Peoria road was decided some time ago by
the United States Circuit Court OF Appeals
to be valid and binding on the Terre Haute
* Indianapolis. and IL also decided
that the thirty per cent OF the gross earn
ings reserved to the Terre Haute * Peoria
Company as rental belonged to that COM
pany. When the receiver was appointed
one semi-annual coupon of the Peoria bonds
was in default, and since then thirteen have
been defaulted- Under an order of court.
made some time ago, the first coupon was
paid and there having accrued a balance

sufficient TO pay ten OF the remaining thir-
teen coupons, an order has been entered di-
recting the receiver to the rental in

Selection of Corn.
Editor of Iowa Homestead.


Before leaving the subject of corn.
would like to emphasize the Importance of
becoming familiar with the points that
should be observed in its selection 1t is
commonly assumed that all persons en-
gagged in corn raising are at any time able
to select the best corn out of a given as
sortment. Fortunate. indeed. would il be
for the farmers of the central West if this
were true. Comparatively few persons
know just what constitutes a good ear of
corn In most cases undue emphasis is
placed on length of ear, while less inpor-
tance is attached 10 depth of kernel, size

aa Henry Martin-Other Cases
I'm the Courts.

Henry Steiert. a young man of about
twenty-five, came into the Circuit Court
yesterday and had his name changed TO
Henry Martin. His petition set out the
fact that his father and mother separated
when he was three years of age and his
mother afterward married C. H. Martin.
The petitioner showed the court that from
the time his mother married Martin he
was always known as Henry Martin" and
It was not until he became of age that he
learned that Martin was not his real
name. Since the world knew him Hen
ry Martin he desired the sanction of the
court TO this name. His petition was
granted.

Of Premier Company Receivership.

A decree entered in Room 3. Superior
Court. yesterday in the case of the Central

yesterday the litigation is compromised by
the payment of 5000 TO the Indiana Steel
Company. the decree providing that the
lease shall be Cancelled and the affairs of
the Indiana Company wound up.
