The Biblical Examination.

DR.. II. j. Baldwin, secretary of the
Southern educational conference,
patted little colored boy on the head
This little boy" he said, failed in
an examination last week. 1t was an
examination ON the Bible, and the first
question the teacher asked was:
How many commandments are
thereT'
"The little boy thought while ard
the1 he answered:
"A hundred
GA hundred? No, Of course not,
said the examiner. That will do for
you
And the little boy went out sadly.
He had failed.
"But he hung about the building,
and in a half hour another boy APP
peared. He was on the way to the ex-
animation, too. He asked the boy who
had failed what questions had been
put to him., and the unhappy failure
answered:
The teacher wanted to know how
many commandments there were.
What will you say when he asks you
that?'
"'I'll say ten,' was the reply.
"The boy who had failed laughed
loud and long.
"'Tenr he cried. We'll, just try
him with your ten. l tried him with
a hundred, and he wasn't satisfied ("

The great trouble with the American
people today is that they all want to
get rich in hurry, can't be content
with slow and safe gains. Nine-tenths
Of them commence specializing and
gambling as soon as they can reach up
to drop nickel in a slot machine and
keep the thing up as long as they live
and die poor The old fashioned way
of being content with moderate profits
in the doing of legitimate business
is almost out of date.

Cotton, which seemed to be over
produced last winter and much Of
which was not picked, is up again to
II cents, a price which is the same,
SO far as profit to the producer is con-
cerned, as would be 70 cents for corn
or 81 per hundredweight for pork.
Every effort was made to restrict the
acreage planted to cotton this year,
and now the men who did this wish
they had not done so.

1t is better for the pastures, insures
more feed and is better for the stock
to divide the pasture and let one half
rest while the other half is being fed
off, and we wonder why it is that this
is not more commonly done.

We saw some real skim milk calves
the other day. We doubt if they had
ever tasted whole milk. They looked
just like the poor little orphans at the
English wOrkhouSe so well described
by Dickens. 1t is all mistake to try
to raise a good calf on nothing better
than skim milk from the start. They
might have been the best bred animals
in the country, yet the want of proper
food makes scrubs Of them.

The average man has no conception
of the vast area of the possible wheat
fields Of the far northwest There is
an empire in western Canada where
wheat for the whole world could be
easily produced. Land which will pro-
duce an average crop of twenty bush
els per acre of No 1 hard wheat for
ten years in succession is there in
area as large as all the New England
states put together.

There is a good deal of lamb served

Two hundred miles to a creamery is
getting to be a common ting all
through the west, the cream being
shipped that distance to a central
creamery plant, which converts it into
butter. The cost of shipment is about
cent pound for the butter it will
make, which IS as small a sum as it
can be gathered for and delivered to
home creamery. This plan is opening
up great possibilities for the dairy
business in localities where cows have
never heretofore been kept.

The heavy draft horse is just as
much in demand today as though there
was not steam engine or an auto

Ensilage is much less costly to put
up for a succulent winter forage than
roots of any kind, and it is more easily
preserved and fed out, and it is equally
as palatable and nutritious. An acre
of corn prepared as ensilage is almost
doubled in feeding value.

A little work with the mower in the

The bicycle which for a few years
formed the center of many of the sport
ing events of the country, has COM
pletely fallen from its high position
and is valued today solely as a utility
machine, in which capacity it is doing
most valuable work. We have not
heard of a scorcher for nearly two
years. and, if anything. the machines
are more popular out in the country
districts than in the cities The auto
now monopolizes public attention as
sporting craze. This ia time will fol-
low the bicycle; it will become cheaper
in price, the country horses oil get
used to it, and it will take its place
as one Of the most valuable means of
loco1fotion ever devised.

There are altogether too many people
who are satisfied if they can at the
end OF the year just pay out and make
both ends meet. While this is in a
way better than running behind, a
man should have ambition to do some
thing better. There are large possibili-
ties connected with saving even so
small an amount as $50 a year.

Some one has figured out that the

The Angus cattle lead all others in
price obtained at the auction sales, in
the number of prizes awarded at

Fly time is here and with it almost
untold misery for the dairy COW unless
some steps are taken to protect her.
Some dairymen are following the plan
of keeping their cows in a darkened
basement barn from about $50 a. N.
until shutdown and then giving them
the run of the pasture during the night
and early morning. While in the barn
they are fed literally with some green
soiling crop, such as clover, silage,
sweet corn, with the result that so
cared for there is no shrinkage in the
milk yield The common way is to
turn them into a pasture. good or bad,
as the case may be, and let them stand
punched on some knoll or in some
pond half submerged all through the
heat of the day, and no sensible COW
will run a dividend paying milk fac
tory under such conditions.
Our very worst pests are nearly all
imported ones. So with our bird, in
sect and animal pests and the human
pests as we'll.

The easiest possible crop with ia
vorable season is sixty bushels Of corn
to the acre. Still not one man in
twenty attains this. What with poor
seed, poorly prepared soil, insufficient
cultivation, poor planting, the average
crop of the corn growing states is less
than half the possible crop.

heart and free from weed growth

Just as soon as a pasture is fed bare

is not so, we can say that we do not
believe it. Unless some chemical

could make no difference, and if there
was such action it would surely be to

We are asked how large silo should
be built to meet the needs of an aver
age eighty acre farm. We would try
one about twenty feet high and sixteen
feet in diameter to start with. This
will hold the product of about ten
acres of corn, which converted into
silage will make an immense amount
of most valuable and palatable food.

1t is said that buff colored eggs will
keep longer than white eggs, the rea-
son given being that they have a
thicker shell. The Brahmas, Cochins
and their kind lay the dark eggs, while
the Leghorn, Houdan and Spanish
fowls lay the white ones. The flavor OF
an egg is almost wholly dependent
upon the food of the fowls. The finest
lot Of eggs we ever saw, and the
largest as well, were the product Of a
lot of Buff Cochin hens.

The west has come to what may be
called a three and four horse type Of
agriculture-the doing of all the farm
work just as far as possible with a
large type of machinery, which re-
Quires three or four horses to operate.
The gang plow, the twenty-four foot
harrow, the six foot mower, the three
row cultivator, the potato digger and
many other appliances represent how
the machine has displaced the hired
man, the horse being more dependable
than the man.

If you have farm and wish to keep
it as an investment and not work it

which to handle it is to rent it out

long lease with a good man.

Cyclones Breed in Desert.

Prof. w. J. Melee, of the Smith sonian Tnstitu5ion at Washington, who was in Yuma recently on his return from desert explorations, has given aa interview to the St. Louis Globe Democrat in which hc cla;lns to have discovered the breeding place of the Cyclone" To quote from the in- terview:
 | During, his fifteen weeAs scjoura in the desert. pr. McGee gathered much
 Information pertaining t5 lnoteorology ana the study of plant and animal fife in the desert. One Of the things he discovered, which ne is confident will interest scientists. is where the cyclones. and tornadoes originate This place he terms the cyclone breeder of North America .
 Out of the Gulf Of California, Dr. McGee claims, yapor of uniform in- teusity ahe year round arises. 1, rises above the ridge of mountains east of the gulf and sweeps over the desert. where it comes in contact with an at mosphere of an entirely different sort This blending results in the formation of storms.
 During part of his stay in the desert DT. SieGee had for a companion Pueblo Indian lad. The two camped at place called Tinajas Atlas, mean ing "big bowls" This name is de- rived from the big hollow rocks, thirty cne in number, at the place. and out of which is gotten the only water found within radius of many miles Tinajas Atlas is located about seventy-fye miles southeast of Yuma, Ariz. on a road over 200 years old.
