Cost of Raising Corn.

The present low price of corn and
the enormous quantity which is piled
up in bins and warehouses everywhere
in this country is the most emphatic
evidence that corn can be produced at
very low cost, and it is plain from
the experience of hundreds of corn
raisers that there is a profit in produc-
ing corn on large scale, even at the
present low prices, for many thous-
ands Of farmers have made a good liv-
ing and laid some profit by from their
corn lands.
1t is perfectly true that the man
with small farm, devoted exclusively
to corn raising, can get only a very
precarious living out of corn when the
price is under 25 cents on the farm.
But even the small farmer can assure
himself of a substantial surplus with
the prospect of substantial surplus,
some years, if he devotes a part of his
land to raising the products which
he needs for his family, and raises
corn, well cultivated and carefully
SuICu Ol Tic IcSL VI IL.
1t must not be forgotten that the
present low price of corn is due to two
years of very extraordinary yields, and
though this years crop is moderate,
by comparison with those years, the
surplus in the country, added to what
was produced this year, makes the sup.
ply in the country about as large as
it was ever known to be- and the cost
of production of the corn which most
farmers have on hand at the present
time, must be figured on the basis of
large yields, so that, even at present
low prices, the great bulk of the corn
in the country represents a good deal
more than what it has cost the farmer
! to produce it.

Winter Fruit Tree Pruning.

While the early spring pruning and
the summer pinching back Of the small
shoots covers the main pruning of the
fruit trees, much good work may be
done during the open days Of winter
which will, at least, save time in the
spring. Broken limbs may be removed
and many of the inside limbs which are
overlapping the fruiting twigs can be
cut off during the winter as well as in
the spring. The work of pruning should
always be done with a saw on limbs
too large to cut with sharp knife; in
pruning saw from the under side of the
limb first, saving up quarter or n
half through and finishing from the
top. This will result in clean cut and
there will be no splintering, as would
be the case If heavy limb was cut
through from the top. In the winter
pruning of orchards keep your eyes
open and note the condition Of the tree,
so that at the proper time any remedy
for any trouble found may be applied.

ANIMAL INSTINCT.
Presidents Opinion on the Question
of the Day Among NaturaIists.

l am convinced there is nothing in
the notion that animals conciously
teach their young. Is 1t probable that
a mere animal reflects upon the fu-
ture any more than it does upon the
past? Is 1t solicitous about the future
well-being Of its offspring any more
than 1t is curious about its ancestry I?
Persons who think they see the lower
animals training their young supply
something to their observations con-
sciously or unconsciously; they read
their own thoughts or preconceptions
into what they see. Yet so trained n
naturalist and experienced hunter as
President Roosevelt differs with me in
this matter. In letter which I am
permitted to quote he says:
"I have not the slightest doubt that
there is a large amount Of unconscious
teaching by wood-folk Of their OFF,
spring. In unfrequented places have
had the deer watch me with almost

The Miikmsn,s steady Job.

A veteran New York State dairyman
who has been in the business over half
a century says that commencing in
1876 he was away from home but one
night in about twenty-five years He
always used to do his own milking.
His average for many years was not
less than twenty cows night and morn
ing. He MIXED one COW nineteen years
and about ten months in the year. In
the year 1879 twenty cows gave him
10000 pounds Of milk, which netted
him from the cheese factory 81, 900, be-
sides having his whey to feed to the
hogs and calves.

A SAFE DIET RULE.
Eat the Smallest Amount of Food that
Will Preserve Good Health.

How SHAH vnv detormine how much
food to eat? Too much mystery has
been thrown upon this subject. Let
your sensa tons decide. 1t must be
kept in mind that the entire function
of digestion and assimilation is car
ried on without conscious supervision
or concurrence. 1t should be entirely
unfelt and unknown, excepting by the
feeling of bien-etre which accompan-
les and follows its normal accomplish
ment. Safety is bad. 1t implies a
sensation of fullness in the region Of
the stomach, and that means that too
much food has been taken. The exact
correspondence, in a healthy animal,
between the appetite and the amount
of food required is extraordinary. AS
rule, the meal, unless eaten very
slowly, should cease before the appe-
tite is entirely satisfied, because lit
tie time is required for the outlying
organs and tissues to feel the effects
of the food that has been ingested.
IL too little has been taken, 1t Is
easy enough to make it up at the next
meal, and the appetite will be only
the better and the food more CRATE
full
No one was ever sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little, while
millions every day repent having eaten
too much. 1t has been said that the
great lesson homeopathy taught the
world was this: That whereas physi-
clans had been in the habit of giving
the patient the largest dose he could
stand, they have been led to see that
their purpose was better subserved
by giving him the smallest dose that
would produce the desired effect And
so 1t is with food. Instead of eating,
as most people unfortunately do, as
much as they can, they should eat the
smallest amount that will keep them in
good health.-Century.

Rather Hard to Please.

Mrs. Moke Smith, of Calwood, Cal
laway county, has perhaps the most
varied and remarkable matrimonial
career of any woman in Missouri. Her
life shows what may be accomplished
under the marriage and divorce laws
Of this State by woman who is ac-
tive, Industrious and not slow about
falling in love or falling out again.
Mrs Smith has just been married for
the third time. Her maiden name was
Fannie Torrance. Her first husband
was Moses Shaffer.
After living with Nose while she
got tired Of him, secured divorce and
married Moke Smith. Tiring of Moke,
she got divorce from him and united
herself to Ferd Altheiser. After liv-
ing with Ferd a while she concluded
Moke was a better fellow than she
had thought and she left Ferd and
was remarked to Moke. Tiring of
M6ke second time, she again separat-
ed herself from him and in due course
Of time was welded to J. II. Berry.
Berry, however, suited her no better
than Shaffer or Smith or Altheiser and
she soon left him. Not long after
ward she was remarked to Berry, only
to soon weary of him and get di-
vorce from him. Now she is trying
Moke again.--Kansas City Journal.

Advantages of Farm Life.

=, 1t, is the farmers boys who are most
likely TO succeefI, whether in business
or in professional life. Spending most
of their time under the open sky,
breathing fresh air, and eating simple
food, they are more likely to have Wig
orous health and strong constitutions
than are their city cousins. Brought
into constant contact with nature they
absorb a great deal Of useful knowl-
edge, and acquire habits of observa-
ton. Then, too, the regular farm
work, the "chores" and numberless 9TH
er little things keep them well occupied
and enable them to feel that they are
earning their way, thus giving to them
a sense of independence and cultivat-
ing spirit of self-reliance and manli-
ness. The performance of a deal Of
drudgery is an Indispensable prepara-
ton for all real success in life, what
ever the occupation. A boy who is
afraid Of work .or of soiling his hands
need not expect to accomplish much
in the world. Country boys have their
full share of fun, but there are many
disagreeable duties on a farm which
farmers boys learn to accept as a
matter of course. Edward Eggleston,
speaking Of the value Of his farm
training when boy, once said to me:
Il learned one thing of great value,
and that was to do disagreeable things
cheerfully. Josiah Strong, in Success.

Maturity of Fowls.

The Leghorns may mature in six
months, but with the larger breeds a
fowl is not matured IL under one year
of age; and 1t is a settled conclusion
that neither animals nor poultry should
be used for breeding until the system
has had time to develop and make
complete growth. Pullets sometimes
begin to lay before they are fully
matured, but in such cases their eggs
should not be used for Matching pur-
poses. The use Of eggs from pullets
that have not completed their growth
Is sure to injure the flock II the prac-
tce La continued for several years,

Ice and Cold Storage House.

~ While many farmers consider an ice
house a luxury that is not for them,
building such as is shown in the cut
may be erected at small cost, and If
dra wing it will be found profitable.
Even in sections where ice is scarce
such a structure would be worth all it
cost to a fruit grower who desired to
hold back his products in cold storage
To make the house cheap build it

tial thing being to have it with an in

HILL PRESENTS new ISSUE
NEW YORKER INJECTS NEW
ARGUMENT INTO CAMPAIGN.
Condemns in Strong Terms Govern
ment by Injunction" in Speech
at Wheeling.

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 15.-David B.
Hill injected a new argument into the
democratic campaign here Thursday
night-a Straightforward condemna-
ton of government by injunction" and
the demand for law granting jury
trial to persons held in contempt OF
court, for the violation of restraining
order of federal judge. The democrat
ic national platform sustains this posi-
ton, although in guarded terms.
Wheeling was selected by the New York
politician as the place to emphasize and
make national issue of this point, be-
cause of it's varied industries giving en-
ployment to artisans of many vocations,
and also because the Injunction has been
used here in labor disputes in a number
of instances. The announcement, which
was accompanied by full explanation,
was greeted with applause
Mr.. Hill recited the history of the use
of the Injunction in labor disputes and
the difficulty of finding an adequate rem
edy. He told of introducing and secur-
ing the passage of a bill through the
senate in 1896 to this end; he then re-
cited the republican opposition in the
house of representatives since that time
which was the ground for making the
question party issue to be called to the
front at this time. He declared that a
man had the right to quit work when
and where he pleased. "The position of
the democratic party upon this subject
is right" he concluded. "A democratic
national victory will mean the enact
ment of the measure mentioned, and
government by Injunction as here ex-
planned. will no longer exist"
Another new point as a democratic ar
gument, was also made by Mr.. Hill, the
election of United States senators by d.
rect vote ca the people.

Boston, Oct. 15.-The house of depu-
ties of the Episcopal general conven-
ton, as committee of the whole, Fri
day voted PA to 191 in favor OF report
ing to the house the canon amendment
forbidding. the remarriage OF any d.
vorced person.
A resolution was adopted appoint
ing a committee, consisting of two
bishops, two clerical and two lay depu-
ties for the purpose of petltioning state
legislatures in the interest of reform
ing the divorce laws. The resolution
is subject to concurrence by the house
Of bishops
In accordance with the motion
passed Thursday, the first division,
when the first vote was taken, was
upon the question Of reporting as
committee of the whole, the amend
ment forbidding the remarriage OF any
divorced person. 1t was voted PA to
191 to report the amendment. The
division furnished the first test vote
on the divorce issue at the present
convention. An amendment referring
to bishops the request Of a divorced
person for permission to receive the
sacraments also will be reported to the
house, the vote to do so standing 2S0
to 1926. The amendment makes an
exception in the case of a penitent
person in imminent danger of death
and in the case of the innocent person
in divorce for the cause OF adultery.
The house as a committee of the
whole then dissolved and resumed its
regular session. A discussion devel-
oped over the amount Of time which
should be allotted for final considera-
ton of the divorce question.
Will Not Drop Name.
A proposition bearing on changing
the name of the church came before
the house when the committee on
prayer book reported that it considered
it inexpedient to strike the words
protestant Episcopal' from the title
page of the prayer book, in view of the
fact that the joint commission appoint
ed three years ago to consider a.
change in the name of the church had
reported in favor Of making no change
at this time. The committees report
was upon a resolution to strike the
two words from the prayer book, intro
duced by Rev. B. Talbot Rogers, of

that his resolution be placed on the
