Is this highway robbery? The
charge for using the telephone from
Red wood Falls to St. Paul or Min
neapolis is 60 cents for three min
utes. The charge from Mankato to
either one of those two cities is Is
cents, without time limit. The
charge from New Richland to either
one of the two cities, a distance of
about 100 miles, is Is cents per min
ute. Isn't it about time to get ac-
tion on the correction of the abuse
here, or will it be necessary to get
the Twin City Telephone Co. to run
its line into Redwood Falls?

Sir Thomas Upton S feet, includ-
ing the two Shamrocks,. a steam
launch and a barge, sailed from
Gourock, Scotland, for New York,
on Thursday last, with the view of
taking back with them the .Ameri-
cas- cup wrested from England over
80 years ago. Sir Thomas expects
the third Shamrock to perform this
wonderful feat and will have the
latter boat in fine trim by this fall.
In the meantime the new America
cup defender, the Reliance, is doing
a few stunts down around the
shores of Long Island, and with. her
running away from the Columbia,
which beat out the first and second
Shamrock, and holding her own
against the Constitution, there seems
to be but little show for the English
tea man to take the cup back with
him. Sir Thomas, however, is a
genuine sport, and the American
lovers of the yachting sport will
welcome him back on American soil
with glad arms

Kew Roots 81 Legumtnous Planeu
Change Free Nitrogen OF the
Air Into son Nltratea.

The farmer is not generally looked
upon as a manufactures. Yet on hia
lands and under them, on the roots Of
all legdminous plants, there are at
work the microscopic creations that
labor in changing the free nitrogen
of the air into soil nitrates that may
'be used by the plants. Every nodule
on the root Of a plant is an immense
factory. It may be smaller than a
pea, yet in it are multitudes Of the lit
tie workers. They existed from the be-
ginning of the development Of legum-
inosae on the EARTH but man has
only recently discovered them. Be
fore he understood that they were the
friends Of man, he regarded these
factories al symptoms Of plant dis
eases, and various remedies were in
vented for the euro Of the said dis
eases. But later such efforts were
found to be misplaced, and it was
recognized that these same tubercles
were part Of the machinery of Mother
Nature by which she kept the soil
supplied with the so-readily soluble
forms Of nitrogen, which aloae can
be taken up by the roots Of plants.
In the woods and on the prairies there
are numerous forms Of leguminosae,
which help to keep up the balance re-
quired. There are the wild peas, the
6eggar weeds, the vetches and their
relatives. On all OF their roots are
the little nitrogen factories crowded
with workers. Man is able to assist
these laborers and make it possible
for them to increase their product.
This is a manufacture in which there
IS not danger Of cver production

produced it, and give it for what it is
worth. We took a good sound 2x4 oak
scantling Is feet In length, sawed 1t in
go in the middle, equal lengths. Out
OF these two pieces we cut the two up
sights Of the stretcher. Figure /,
making them six feet long. The
two short pieces left were sawed
JIG inches long and set into gains
in the uprights and bolted fast.
AS shown in the illustration inch holes
we're bored to correspond in the upright
bars, the holes in the right bar being
sawed out to admit and remove the
crank shaft, for various heighths of wire.
An inch rope 20 feet long is attached
to the inner end Of the shaft, and a
good solid hook fastened into the other
end Of the rope is brought back and
hooked yer the shaft just inside the
crank. A common hay rope pulley is
placed upon the rope, and to this pulley
IS attached a wire clamp secured at our
hardware store. Two hooks Of heavy
rod iron were fashioned after the pat
tern at a, with threads cut and nuts
attached. These hooks are blurred to
the cross pieces and hook around anchor
post
- posts are very large a log chain can
be wrapped about the post and the hooks
attached to the chain. Also il a wire
clamp a not be secured a hook similar
to the one on the end Of the rope could
be substituted. In this case a false post
and brace could be put in temporarily
back OF the anchor post and the stretch
er Ne hooked to this post, a loop being
made in the end of the wire to fasten the
hook into. This would necessitate more
labor, but would do as well, as the wire
would be pulled past the anchor post
where # can be stapled before releasing
the stretcher. We were well pleased
with the work done by this little ma
chine and feel satisfied that il construct
ed right 1t will stretch a proper tension
into any fencing wire, as we have
stretched both smooth and barbed wire
with it.
We omitted to mention that half inch
holes r bored into the right bar where
a steel punch Is inserted to hold the
crank from reversing while wire is being
stapled. Also the stretcher stands in the
center Of the fence and If fastened t.

A correspondent in one Of our agri-
cultural papers reports that he had
found it possible to destroy stumps in
the following manner:
Al hole one or two inches in diameter,
according to the size Of the tree, and
is inches deep is to be bored in the
stump. Into this put from one and one
half to two ounces of saltpeteri I'LL with
water and plug tightly, Six months
later put into the same hole about one
gill OF kerosene oil and set fire to it.
The stump will shoulder away without
blazing, even down to every part Of the
roots, leaving nothing but ashes.
on November A, 1895, SO stumps Of
trees cut in 1894, including maple, hick-
Dry, hemlock, white pine, yellow birch
and elm, were bored according to di-
reetions. on December ii saltpeter
and water were put in the holes, ao-
cording to directions, and the holes
plugged. During July, 1886, the plugs
were removed, the holes we're filed
with kerosene and an attempt made to
brrn the stumps. II was found that
not even the oil would burn. Portions
of the stumps were left until June 1897.

Description Of n Device Recently Pat
ented by a Progressive Cali
fOFnia Fruit Grower.

Farming a century ago consisted prin-
cipally Of planting the seed, keeping
out the weeds and waiting for the har-
vest, with little or no conception Of the
chemical processes through which the
soil induced the plant growth, and, con-
sequently, no knowledge Of how the
plant growth could be forced by the ad-
dition to the soil Of the chemical con-
stituents which were lacking. Likewise
the apples and small fruits were looked
upon as a side issue, which must be left
largely to chance in producing profit
able crops. Gradually, however, a
change has come about, until now the
farmer performs his labor as scientist

The Belgian hare a has gone by,
after making comfortable fortunes for
some Of those who took up breeding and
importing at the commencement Of the
boom. The hare Is now taking its place
largely as a meat producing animal, al
though the stories told about it In this
direction are greatly exaggerated. But
there is a small and possibly growing
demand for the meat, which is Of high
quality. The hares attain market size
at about six months Of age, but make
good eating at four months old. AS
they are as easily kept as sheep, and
the feed may be very similar, they are
eheaply raised, and a pair or trio Of
breeders may be probably kept on
many places.-Orange Judd Farmer.
