WET WEATHER HARVESTER,
How a Clay Center (Kan.) Farmer
Saved His Wheat.

How a Clay Center (Kan.) Farmer
Saved His Wheat.
Clay county farmers in Kansas, espe-
cially those who live on low ground,
where standing water has made the
ground very soft, r using a new con
trivance this year to get their wheat
harvested, says a Clay Center dispatch
to the Kansas City Star. Mr.. Watts, a
Clay Center machinist, is the origi-
nator of the plan. 1t was impossible to
get into his field with the ordinary har-
vester.
Early in the season he saw that
strenuous measures would be neces-
sary to secure his crop. He hit upon
the plan Of detaching the running
gear of the ordinary harvester from
the wheels and attaching a gasoline
engine in such a manner that it would
do all the work of running the mower
and binding the wheat. The only
thing necessary for the horses to do
was to pull the binder through the
fields.
The binder was taken into the field
NAN "ohASu PCA1CSty. NucdL was St
cured that had been given up as lost.
Whenever a muddy place was reached
and the wheels slipped, the gasoline
engine continued to run the binder,
and the horses could drag the whole
machine through the mud, thus har-
vesting the wheat. 1t made no differ
nee whether the wheels Of the ma
chine turned.
Mr.. Watts rugged up two binders for
his brother. They also worked well.
Other farmers heard of it and crossed
the country to secure a machine. Prob
ably a dozen binders, rugged with gaso-
line engines, are now in use in Clay
county and one in Riley county. Much
wheat has been harvested which had
been given up. The supply Of gasoline
engines in Clay Center was quickly ex-
hausted, and more were ordered.

How the President Helped YOUNG
Ftshermen With a Big Dosnsh.
George w. Powers and Frank f.. Nc
Court have been visiting at the home
OF Thomas Hassett in Railroad avenue,
Huntington, n. Y. and are proud Of
two things, says the New York Times.
The first is that the president Of the
United States helped them to pull in a
fourteen pound dogish a few days ago,
and the second is that they have a
letter from MI. Roosevelt telling about
the experience.
The lads were fishing in Lloyds har-
Dor and Powers hooked a big fish that
he couldn't land. McCourt moved back
to his seat to aid him. Together the
two boys pulled with all their strength,
but they could not draw the fish to the
side of the boat. Suddenly some one
called out:
"Wait a minute, boys. and I'll help
you" and around their stern was rowed
a round bottomed boat containing two
men and a boy. A hand that the boys
could see was muscular was reached
out.
Its President Roosevelt" gasped
Powers to McCourt.
Hand over hand the line was pulled
In, and at length the fish was beside
the boat.
"Why, it's a big dogfsh. Shoot him,
Loeb" said the president, and Secre-
tary Loeb drew a revolver and dis
patched the fish.
President Roosevelt asked the boys
their names and addresses and prom
ised to write to them. The boys later
received the following letter:
Oyster Bay. N. Y, July II, 1904.
(Private)
Dear Young Friends-I was glad to hear
from you and congratulate you upon the
fish you caught the other day.. I was
pleased to be able to help you out with
the dogf1sh. With best wishes, believe. me.
sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Master George w. Powers,
Master Frank e. McCourt,
Care of Thomas Hassett, Esq,

The boys are now %contending for the
possession of the letter.

AMERICAN COLLEGES BEST.

Consul Diederich Contrasts German
Universities With Ours.
That the practice Of Americans seek
ing education abroad is barely holding
its own because Of the increasing ex-
cellence of American colleges is the
conclusion drawn from statistics show
ing American attendance at German
colleges, submitted to the state depart
ment by United States Consul Diede-
rich at Bremen, Germany, says a
Washington dispatch.
Mr.. Diederich says that the number
Of foreign students, especially Of those
coming from Russia, has steadily
grown, but a careful study Of the at
tendance at the German universities
seems to show that Americans have
not been adding to this increase.
There were only seven more Ameri-
cans enrolled Inst winter than there
were four years ago-317 in all.
During the nineteenth century Ger
nan universities led the world in cru
dition and scientific investigation and
their great professors attracted many
students from all parts of the world
in quest of higher education," says
Mr.. Diederich. "But times are alter
ed.
Having myself been engaged in edu-
cational work as an American college
professor for a good part of my man
hood, I have naturally taken consider
able interest in the life and work at
the various institutions Of learning in
this country, and it is my impression
that the facilities for higher education
are improving in the United States
much more rapidly than in Germany.
Despite all our imperfections, n a n
not but admire the great upward
strides which the American system of
education, from the humble district
school up, has been making during the
last few decades.
american educational institutions
are the best equipped in the world. I
know but n German university that
can claim to be up to the times in this
regard, and it stands third in the list
Of attendance. There is steady progress
oil along the line Of public instruction
in the United States. and particularly
in our higher class of universities"

A Mine That Cost one stamp.

Fortune has fallen upon Mrs. Nellie
Leonard, an Asheville IN. CO. woman,
who went to Idaho a few years ago to
look after a claim which cost her a
postage stamp and which is today
worth thousands, says the New York
Times. Mrs. Leonard has one of the
most promising claims in the Hunter
mountain. A letter was received at
the Boise camp one day from Mrs.
Leonard simply addressed to "Some
Miner" There was no postofice at
Boise, but the letter reached it's des-
tination. The letter was the subject
of many jests among the miners. Final

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork, was the advice to the
consumptiye 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
TODD the consumptive needs
most.
Scott EmulSionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
