GRASS AS A MEAT MAKER.

All through the corn belt men have
placed too much dependence upon corn
as a meat maker and not enough on
grass and other crops. Meat made
from grassland by grass we mean
clover, alfalfa and blue grass-is al
ways cheaply produced, while meat
made from corn has often to be sold
for less than 1t cost. But few men I'M
derstand the real value of good pas
ture as meat producer, and altogeth-
er too little attention is paid to keep
Ing pasture lands up to a high state Of
productiveness, the most common sin
being In connection with overstocking
them and never giving the grass any
kind of show to grow. We know of
men who would hardly be able to sleep
nights If they had pasture which car
ried heavy and luxuriant growth Of
grass and would not rest until they
had got enough stock into it to keep
1t down." as they express it, Grass
must have some sort Of chance to
grow above ground IL 1t is to have a
good, strong and vigorous root system.
Where grass is weakened by overpas-
turing the weeds are quick to take adj
vantage of the fact and soon swarm all
over the field to still further help kill
out the grass. A blue grass pasture
unfed from July l till winter will fur
nish one Of the best and very cheapest
winter rations for the colts and for
cattle and sheep as well provided the
snow does not get too deep.

BIRD MIGRATION.

There is no more interesting sight to
be seen In the fall of the year than the
vast fiocks of blackbirds getting ready
for their southern migration. Grouped
in families as they were bred In the
swamps. they at first live an independ-
ent sort of a life. Later, as the fall
days come on, they commence to gath

crease In size as the days go by I'M

be seen in fiocks containing thousands.
wheeling with a military precision in
their fight or massing and swarming
in the tops of the cottonwood trees, all
chattering like lot of women at tea
party, evidently discussing in their bird
language the time for their departure
and the route to be taken, and then the
day comes for them to go, day just
before the coming of the snow, the

some infirmity, linger all winter through
the cold and the storms, seeking the
shelter of an evergreen grove In the

There Is One Thing In It's Favor-It

''Of all the habits the one that sticks

habit and the cocaine habit are mere
summer fancies compared with it. But
there Is one thing to be said in its ia
vor-it is usually beneficial. The elec-

young woman who makes fair living
by calling at the homes Of electricity

slaves to the habit have their own bat

CHINESE MUSIC.
What DIR. Whewell, Master Of Trinity
Knew About 1t.

Nncw AUOut
The remarkable extent Of the knowl-
edge possessed by DR.. William Whe-
well, at one time master of Trinity,
Cambridge, is well illustrated by the
following story. taken from the Life
and Work of DR.. Mxlerie."
Two of the you Ter Cons, growing
rather jealous of the I.aster's reputa-
ton for omniscience, determined that
they would discover something OF
which he knew nothing. They pitched
upon the subject of Chinese music.
How should he know anything about
it? They did not, so they went to an
encyclopedia and read the subject up.
The next time they met Whewell at
a dinner party they led the conversa-
ton gradually in the direction of mu-
sic, when they began to discourse upon
the music of the Chinese and gave out
all their recently acquired information.
Whewell was silent, much to their
satisfaction. Evidently he knew moth
ing about the matter. But just as they
were beginning to rejoice In their tri-
umph he said:
might I ask, gentlemen, where you
got your information?"
'Oh, yes" they replied. 1--WE picked
1t up out of such and such an ency-
clopedia."
"Ah," said Whewell, 81 was thinking

ago, and it's full of mistakes"

THE KISS IN THE TUNNEL.
The Way a Man Had Revenge For n

The Way n Man Had Revenge For an
Act of DiscOurtesy.
Courtesy always pays; discourtesy
never does" said famous Frenchw0-
man. LET me tell you a story Of an
actual happening:
1.-TWO women occupied compartment
In a railway carriage with one man. a
stranger. They were extremely rude
to this man. In whispers that he could
overhear they criticised his costume.
his figure and his manner. He, to be
revenged, did singular thing.
1.-THE blackness of tunnel envel-
oped the car, and under cover of the
darkness the man kissed the back OF
his hand loudly and repeatedly. Then
when the train entered the light again
he looked from one woman to the other
with significant smile.
'"They exchanged glances Of suspi-
cion.
"'Was 1t you he kissedY
"'No; of course not. Was II your
"And neither lady would believe the
others denial, and each in her inmost
heart believed the other had enc0ur-
aged the kiss. The man looked cool
and complacent. When finally he rose
to 60 he said, lifting his hat with q
jocular air:
"'Have no fear, ladies. ! shall never
tell which of you 1t was"

NEW TYPES.

We are asked by what process the
new varieties of strawberries and po-
tatoes are originated. New varieties Of
Strawberries are not originated from
the runners, but from the seeds OF the
berry New kinds Of potatoes come
from the seeds In the seed balls and
not from the tubers. The new sorts
are propagated by the runners and tn
bers of the plants thus originated The
same rule as to new varieties holds
good with all our fruits which carry
seeds-apples, pears, peaches, plums,
With our cereal grains-tomatoes, GU
cumbers, melons and squashes-witli
most flowers, the origination Of new
variety comes as a sport or freak, the
result of natures mysterious methods
Of cross fertilization, such sport being
selected for propagation by seeds or
cuttings from it. Many new things are
developed by mechanical cross fertlll-
zation where varieties are purposely
crossed by the agency of man, and no
field Of research Is more fascinating or
Is attracting more attention at the
present time. Luther Burbank Of Cali

SOMETHING TO LEARN.

American farmers would be aston
Ished Mt the results IL they should APP
ply the same careful, intensive and
sensible methods to the cultivation Of
the soil and the care of their stock
which obtain in some of the old world
countries Holland, the Is
land of Jersey and France-where a
little area Of land is so treated that 1t
produces twice and thrice as much per
acre as Is produced in this country.
When our land was cheap-$25 to $50
per acre-it is perhaps true that any
sort Of intensive agriculture did not
pay, for this cheap land was new and
very fertile and able to stand a good
deal Of abuse which has been applied
to 1t without stint. Now. however, that
these same lands run in value from
SIS to $3.50 per acre there is much in
these advanced methods of European
farming well worth considering. We
have not yet learned how to properly
feed the land-that Is, to so rotate and
fertilize 1t that 1t will do its best or
anywhere near it. Good farming will
always keep up ana increase tne Ter
tility of the soil. This but few do, and
half Of the land will not now produce
more than one-half as good crops as 1t
would fifty years ago. Continuous
cropping with grain has removed the
humus and depleted the available sup
ply Of nitrogen and potash. We know
Of several instances where foreigners
from the countries mentioned have be-
come possessed Of a small tract Of land
here and by carrying out their old
country methods are obtaining the
most astonishing results, making more
money from twenty acres than their
American neighbors are from eighty
acres and not working any harder ell
Their. We have much to learn from
these people.

We have two or three complaints
about failure to secure stand of
clover which was sown with nurse
crop last spring. This is not an un-
common thing. The nurse crop. wrong
ly so called, often smothers the tender
clover plants. or. If it does not entirely
kill them. they are left so weak and
spindly when the crop is removed In
July that the fierce midsummer heat
and drought very soon finish them up.
The surest way to insure stand Of
clover is to SOW it without any nurse
crop at all The next best thing is to
SOW only one-half as much seed Of the
nurse crop as is usually done. Oats
make the worst nurse crop, wheat IL
better. barley and fax better yet
Where 1t Is desired to get a stand Of
clover the nurse crop should be always
secondary consideration.

A man never makes very much Of
mistake when he selects soil for a
farm upon which the clovers grow nat
urally. Poor though the soil may
seem to be, the presence Of the clover
gives assurance Of large productive
capacity and certain promise that such
land can easily be REINFORCED and en-
riched. We have come to the opinion
that the worst thing which can be said
of any soil is that it will not grow
clover.

in an agricultural way to be noted
these days is the fact that the Amer

these possibilities are is well illustrat-

take from his land produce worth
$4,000 a year, or at the rate Of $1,000
