San Francisco, Nov. 22.-The collector
of the port of San Francisco says that an
exceptionally large amount of Japanese
goods are coming here and that the in
crease Of importations has been so large
that the customhouse officials cannot
handle the goods. The occasion Of the
exceptionally heavy importations is that
the Japanese people are offering their
manufactures at low prices in order to
help raise money for the carrying on OF
the war with Russia.

That Front Yard.

Country people have the opportunity
of making their surroundings beauti-
full, but how seldom do we see an at
tractive dooryard in the so-called
country towns? In many places even
the grass is not allowed to grow up
and beautify the yard. The chickens
are turned out and become the scav-
engers-they roam about at will, do
ing more harm than good. Most farm
ers leave the cultivation Of the front
yard to the women Of the household;
this is not right, for although they can
plant the seeds and bulbs and do the
wedding necessary, they are not able
to do the rough work that generally is
required to bring about an attractive
yard. Unless the soil is excellent and
will produce a good crop Of grass the
yard should be plowed, enriched with
dressing. then seeded down with grass
seed and clover. Care should be TAX
en- that the young grass is not tramp
led upon and has good, vigorous
start. Such lawn will last for years
and give the owner much satisfaction.
But poor lawn may be enriched with
dressing of hard wood ashes. seed
may be sown in bare spots, and while
this may not give such a beautiful
lawn, it is often done. as one dislikes
to plow up the yard-it is so insight
ly-and it must be done early in the
season to give best results.-Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

The Joplin Globes poet, having read that

few blasts in celebration OF the fact:
when you think about Missouri and are
wont to foot her horn, please to give pass
ing mention to her golden yield Of corn
Thpgh she sets the pace industrial in APP
pies rosy red, and in other lines of effort u
serenely at the head, it is only very recently
she's come into her own as the state where
in the biggest crop of yellow corn is grown.
The bureau of statistics agricultural relates
that Missouri now has distanced all her sis
terhood of states in the number of acres
dedicated unto corn and the number OF
bushels from each fruitful acre born. The
statistics draw comparisons, which show
upon their face that Miss Prohibition Kan
sas il assigned to second place, and ambitious
