Agency Formed to jog the Memory.

Agency Formed to jog the Memory.
The frequent cases of weakness or
loss of memory which threaten to
make this age remarkable have given
rise in Vienna to the establishment of
a "Memento Agency" whose function
is to relieve of anxiety those people
who can not rely on their own recol-
ection with regard to future engage
ments. The agency issues a double
envelope to its clients. In one, on
which you write your name, address
and the date on which you wish to
have your memory logged, you inclose
note of the particular business of
which you want reminding. You seal
it up and send it, in the second en-.
velope, to the agency, which returns
you the inclosure exactly at tie de-
sired time. You are thus freed from all
intermediate worry. There is only one
possible flaw in this arrangement.
Who can guarantee that the employees
of the agency will not also lapse into
forgetfulness?

Some Comparisons Which Show the

Our corn crop Of this year, If
massed together, would cover sixty
acres of ground to the depth of nearly
1000 feet-a veritable mountain of
corn over a third Of mile high. II
divided equally among the population
of the earth it would give each person
nearly two bushels. One practical re-
suit of the enormous corn crop ought
to be material reduction in the price
of beef for home consumption, since
It is the crop on which beef cattle are
chiefly fed In many parts of the west
the harvest has been abundant, but in
Oklahoma, especially, farmers this
year are boastful of their corn crop.
Favorable climatic conditions pro
duced a record-breaking yield. In
many instances the ears and stalks
are of such unusual size as to be veri-
table curiosities. In a field owned by
Walter Mathews, a farmer near the
town of Mulhall, in Logan county. an
eleven-year-old boy weighing eighty
pounds climbed stalk to the height
of four feet without it's bending with
him. The stalk was strongly rooted
and about sixteen feet high. While
the growth in Oklahoma was excep-
ticnal, no traveller through the west
this fall could fail to be impressed
with the vastness Of the corn area and
the immensity of the crop.-Leslie's

LlcoRIcE WOOD A ROOT.
The Foundation Of Very Pretty and
Dainty Plant.

The Foundation of a Very Pretty and
Dainty Plant.
Pretty nearly 100000 worth Of
iicorice is used up in this country
every year from the lands bordering
on the Mediterranean. Most people
think that licorice is made frtll the
wooden twigs and branches of tree.
But in reality the licorice wood is the
root of very pretty, dainty plant,
which has beautifully shaped leaves
that are colored bright green on nnc
side and pale silver green on th- 9th.
er. The licorice plant is perennial,
and in England, where they are trying
to make an industry of raising it, the
experimenters plant it in. rows be-
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean and oriental countries
great plantations are given up to it al
together. The licorice plant throws
out immensely fleshy roots, full of
juice when they are fresh. They
spread and burrow far into the earth,
and a good, big hole has to De dug to
get them out. The licorice wood, as
we see it here, represents only about
half the original weight and size of
the root, for fully so per cent OF the
Juice is lost in drying it. Therefore
the licorice dealers are getting to be
more and more in favor of squeezing
the juice of the roots on the spot and
then shipping this extract.

In the United States there are two
opposite ideas Of farming. One is to
farm on the extensive scale. The 9th
er is to farm on the intensive scale.
The western idea of farming is to
own great tracts of land. and this idea
becomes more extensive as one goes
west. Even In Western Canada a
farmer thinks himself poor unless he
owns several sections Of land. The
idea is one that had its birth in the
days when land was cheap. 1t has
lived on in spite Of the changed con
ditions. In the day Of cheap land
the great farm was a necessity, as
intensive operations were not pos
sible. Labor was scarce and live
stock abundant, and the animals could
be made to do most of the gathering
Of the crops, eating them as they
gathered them.
With the increase of population the
interests of the country lie in the
possession of small farms. Reduce
the size Of the farms and young men
will find It possible to purchase them
At present prices it is practically i'm
possible for a young man to buy
farm OF average size. The old proc
esse5 Of thin farming still remain on
the big farms and are likely 10 remain
as the price of land goes up, on ac-
count of the ever-increasing price OF
labor.
In the eastern part Of the country
the intensive farming idea is in the
ascendency. AS a result the farms
are largely owned without mortgages.
The intensive idea is making itself
felt to some extent in the West. but 1t
is yet slight, except near the great
cities, where farming takes on the
character more OF gardening. Could
we but induce the men that own more
land than they can cultivate to sell
what they have little use for the ben
eft would be threefold: The man that
sold the land would be benefited:
the landless man that purchased II
would be benefited; and the general
public would be benefited.
We are coming to the time when
our farmers will realize the fact that
it Is possible TO farm downwards as
well as laterally. They Will find that
1t Is not necessary to pay taxes on q
thousand acres OF land farmed three
inches deep when they can get the
same results from FIVE hundred acres
farmed six inches deep. They win
also find that smaller farms mean a
better social condition OF the people.

One OF the best cover crops known
Is hairy vetch. 1t has, however. been
little used on account Of the high
price OF the seed. much OF which had
to be imported from abroad. There
seems no satisfactory reason, however
why this seed should not be raised
on this side Of the water in sufficient
quantities to supply all demands. The
Ontario station imported seed from
Germany, and. sown In the fan. II
produced the next year Sc bushels OF
seed. Seed produced from this crop
was sown side by side with new seed
from Germany and gave a yield OF
3.4 bushels above that Of the German
seed. AS the price or seed is ave
dollars per bushel. this was a fairly
