Experience Of Farmers in Eastern
States a Warning and Lessor
for Western Agriculturists.

The experience in the eastern states
should have taught our western farm
ers that there is no such thing as an
inexhaustible soil. But one of the
plainest things in the whole history OF
our agriculture is that many farmers
emigrated from New England and
New York and carried with them the
idea that it was possible to find a soil
that had in it an inexhaustible supply
of fertility. The writer remembers
meeting blacksmith in a small New
England city, who was planning to
move to Iowa. He was enthusiastic
over his contemplated change of loca-
ton and lost no opportunity of de-
,scribing to his neighbors the wonder
full fertility of that soil. why" said
he, you can get 16O acres of land al
most for nothing and in that land is
fertility SO great that it cannot be
used up in all time" He went west,
stayed a few years and returned to the
eastern city not over prosperous He
had evidently spent the few years in
the west trying to raise crops on land
that had been sold to him as having
In 1t an inexhaustible supply of fer
tility.. Doubtless it was land that had
been already reduced in value by
years Of cropping by some previous
soil robber.
All over the west we find men till
ing land that has never had on 1t q
pound of barnyard manure, a pound Of
fertilizer of any kind and that has
never been subjected to rotation Of
crops, unless it be rotation, as an
Illinois farmer facetiously remarked,
"of wheat and wheat stubble." In the
opinion of the Farmers Review, every
man that has been farming on the old
lines should abandon the practice at
once. Wheat grown after itself for q
long period Of time will bring poverty
to the land and the land owner. We
have no inexhaustible soil any more
than We have an inexhaustible bank.
When certain amount of plant food
Is taken out, that plant food is gone
and the aggregate of the plant food
In the soil is decreased by Just that
amount. II a man is too poor to buy
fertilizer he can at least rotate hia
crops and help matters In that way.

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired
judicial turn of mind from. expert
ence on the bench out in the Sunfower
State. writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape.Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been prominent feature in our
bill Of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
1T has proved to be most healthfuI
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as preventive Of
disease it is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the bene-
ficial effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions. etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities. my ex-
perience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an i'm
portant consideration for anyone. It
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power Of resisting fatigue. while
its use involves none Of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-
low meat breakfast" Name given

Freakish Rose Bushes.

William Beeks, of Shelbyville, Ind,
has in his yard quite a curiosity, in
the shape of a rose bush with two
roses, each being of a different color.
The roses are on the same stem,
and one is perfectly white, while
the other is pink. The bush has
never been grated. Last year Mr..
Beeks had bush of American Beauty
roses, and on one of the stems were
two roses. the stem extending up
through the center of one of the roses.

Knights of the Maccabees.

On Wednesday afternoon Mr.. F.
NJ. Tharnish, who is Record Keeper
of Blue Grass Tent No. 10, Knights
of the Maccabees of this city, called
at our office to show us draft for
81, 900 payable to Miss Frances Smut
ney. About fourteen months ago,
her brother w. A. Smutney who died
but recently, joined the tent here TAX
ing a policy for the above amount in
favor of his sister in case of his death.
The proper proofs of his demise
having been furnished to the head
quarters at Port Huron, Michigan,
the draft was forwarded without any
question or delay. We are informed
that this is, the first payment that has
come to this tent and while the men,
bers sincerely regret the occasion for
it, they are much pleased at the
prOmptness of the head officials of the
order. We are well acquainted with
the work of the order and consider it
one of the best of the fraternities.
And we have no doubt but many men
who will read this item should unite
with it or some other just as good in
order to provide for those who are
dependent upon them.

Climate and Crop Service.

The week ending Sept Is was warm
err than usual with more than the nor
NAL amount of cloudiness, and very
heavy rainfall in the southwestern
fourth of the state. The daily mean
temperature was to degrees above
normal. In the larger part of the
state conditions we're fairly good for
all immature crops, the chief draw
back being the lack of sunshine to
hasten maturity of belated portions of
corn crop. In considerable portions
of the state the bulk of this crop is
fairly well matured and cutting is in
progress in all sections where silos
are used and corn fodder is utilized.
For the state at large more than two
thirds is beyond danger of serious
harm by frost. The late planting
needs the balance of the month and
dry weather to develop sound mer-
charitable corn. The damage by
wind in limited areas will lessen the
output somewhat and render harvest
ing more difficult. Generally, there
has been good progress in fall pillow,
ing. More than the usual acreage Of
fall wheat has been sOwn. Pasturage
is at its best for this time of the year
Reports as to late potatoes are mo-
satisfactory, though the output is
likely to be near the state average
Late fall and winter apples have suff
cred from windstorms, but there was
not much fruit to lose. A fair grape
crop is being secured. Garden trucl
is abundant.

to visit his friend A. S. Culver with
whom he was member of the same
company in the navy during the civil
war. Mr.. Webster was returning
from the National encampment at
Denver where he expected to find his
friend but was disappointed; so he
concluded to stop off here and make
sure of it. They were boys together
in New York, and with thirty others
formed a company in the navy, serv-
ed their time and dispersed to fight
the battles of peace. So far as they
know three fourths of the number are
still living. These two gentlemen who
have been renewing their youth to-
gether this week had not seen each
other for thirty-fve years, and we can
easily imagine they have had most
enjoyable time.
