November Report Says Farmers
Have Had satisfactory Season.
The November crop report, issued by
Secretary John NJ. True of the State
Board of Agriculture. is as follows: ''We
estimate the yield of corn per acre in
the southern division of the State at 10
bushels of shelled grain per acre; in the
central division at 81 bushels per acre.
The quality of the crop is high, it be-
ing placed at 95-100 representing No.
l. The yield per acre of potatoes in
the southern division is placed at 90
bushels, ard in the remainder of the
product IS fair, being rated at so on a
scale Of 100. For the whole State we
estimate the yield of corn per acr. at
AZ bushels, and potatoes at 90 bus els.
Other yields are reported as follows Su-
gar beets. 1872 tons per acre; buck
wheat, II bushels; beans, Il bushels,
and clover seed, y bushels. The aver
age farm prices of crops are estimated
TO be as follows: Wheat, 7Sc per bushel:
rye, 60c; barley, 43c; oats, 25c; buck
wheat, 55c: clover seed. ST; beans, S1.75;
potatoes, SIC; tobacco, 1015c per pound;
sugar beets, 40 per ton; tame hay,
$7.25 per ton; corn. 42c per bushel. In
large portion of the State. especially
in the southern division, there is no sur
plus potato crop, but on the other hand
a deficiency for home consumption. In
the pOtato-growing districts it is esti-
mated that not more than one-third of
the crop has yet been marketed, the bal
ance being stored for higher prices,
which will doubtless be realized. Less
than the usual amount of fall blowing
has been done. and a large proportion
OF shocked corn is not yet husked.'

Danger in Bermuda Grass.

Bermuda grass often carries a dead
ly germ at the end of rainy seasons
like that just past Cattle are espe-
cially subject to this germ, and their
symptoms are most confusing to the
local veterinarians. Milk COWS are the
cattle first to suffer. The COW first APP
pears stiff in the legs and drags her
headquarters. This is often followed
with inability to get up for many hours
when the COW lies down. Appetite
may remain good for several days,
but in severe cases paroXysms set in
Gifts" and "madness'D, and the COW
dies in evident torture. Careful ex-
animation of the back and loins, in
severe cases, will show signs of blood
on the surface usually black and dry,
as though horse-fies had bitten the
COW. This symptom somewhat resem-
bles blackleg. There is no known
specific for this trouble. which has
been but little studied by scientists.
The best system of treatment we have
seen consists of removing the cow
from the rank, coarse Bermuda pas
lures to short, sweet grass. Give pound
doses of EPSON salts to purge and free
the digestive tract from poisonous con-
tents. Repeat on the third day. Keep
cows in cool barns or sheds and feed
grain very lightly. This seems to be
new disease and did not come to
the writer's attention until some six
years ago. We have never Known any
other stock besides cattle to suffer
from this cause.-Farm and Ranch

EMPEROR VILLAINS TABLE

Always deliberately DecOrated-His
FavOrite Dishes.
The same elaborate magnifcence
which characterizes all of Emperor
Williams public appearances is seen
in the arrangement of the table. Din
ner is served on silver plates and Roy
al Berlin china, while the drinking
glasses are ornamented on the upper
part by broad band Of gold on which
the monogram of the emperor and en-
press is worked in gold The table is
deliberately decorated with a profusion
of flowers chiefly roses, while the
brilliancy of the occasion is heighten-
ed by the many silver candlesticks in
the room, bearing hundreds of wax
candles, says the Montreal Family
Herald
The menu is Autographed on 4 vel
lum card bordered with gold and it IS
rather notable that both on 1t and on
the musical programs not a single for
eign word is found. The cards are
decorated with sketches by prominent
German artists. After the dinner the
emperor and empress hold a general
reception, at which prominent guests
are presented. For one of these state
banquets the kitchen allowances
ranges from So to $40 plate, while
for the ordinary dinners the daily ex-
penses are about 50 plate The fol-
lowing order to the court butchers on
the occasion Of a ceremonial dinner is
interesting: One hundred pounds Of
beef. four calves heads, $50 pounds
of loin of mutton. ten sailed tongues
and 200 pounds of legs Of mutton"
The kaiser himself is an enormous
eater and drinker His favorite dishes
are said to be great pieces of meat and

counts, the same to be concurrent.
Dougherty's action was unexpected,
he having pleaded not guilty to the
same charges. But the refusal OF
Judge Worthington to quash the in
dictments against him and the fact
that the grand jury was in session
ready to return others that would be
free of any Of the errors charged in
the first so frightened the coils around
the prisoner that he could see no way
out. He therefore threw himself upon
the mercy of Il e court.
This marks the closing scenes of the
most astounding school fund robbery
ever brought to public notice. For
twenty-five years Newton c. Don sher-
ty as city superintendent and for near
ly twenty years as secretary of the
board, had almost absolute control of
the school funds. He issued scrip and
handled notes and checks as if they
were his own property. As president
Of the Peoria National Bank he was
enabled to cover up his populations in
such good shape that from June 80,
1904, to- June 30 1905, the school fund
shortage amounted to $4,000. While
not all Of the books Of the board have
yet been examined by a special audit
ing committee now at work, it us cur
rently believed that the aggregate
amount of money taken will reach
$1,O00O00
Various methods were taken to COW
err up the stealings. Bills were made
out to fictitious persons and cashed by
herty. School teachers and cashed
Dougherty. School teachers long dead
or removed were still carried on the
rolls. Some of the teachers were car
ried under two or three names. Sup
plies enough for the schools of Chi
cago were paid for by the board and
Dougherty got the money.
And now the man who was consid-
cred the brightest school superintend-
ent in the country, the trusted friend
of college presidents and of school
men high up, of church men of all
creeds, who was looked up to as a
model man in every particular and a
fnancier of rare ability, is in for a
long sojourn in Joliet prison.

Pedf0reed Plants.

Nurserymen are at odds over the
value of sO-called pedigreed plants,
some of the most outspoken claiming
that it is only scheme to sell the
plants for higher prices. On the other
hand, growers of pedigreed plants
state that common sense is at the bot
tom of their claim and should receive
recognition. The main idea in the Sc
lection of pedigreed plants is that only
the first or at most the second plant
which forms ON the runner from the
parent plant in the case of strawber-
ries, is used Naturally these plants
may form further down the runner,
particularly If the runner is kept cut
back so that all of the strength goes
into the one plant. Here is just where
the trouble is likely to be, for I'M
scrupulous growers will claim their
plants are the first from the runner,
when they may not be at ALL In our
own setting we find that the first
plant from the runner, the one next
the parent plant, is by far the best,
and we never set any others. As Il
result our first crop. the second season
after planting, is generally all we can
ask. The pedigree plant question is
worth looking into and testing on ones
own grounds.

pastnrinn Meadows.

The question of pasturlng meadows
was sent to one Of our contributors,
who has raised the finest hay in his
State for years. He replies, don't. y
but afterward modifies this by saying
that while his first advice is not to pas
ture the meadows at all. he realizes
that in some locations and under some
conditions it may be safely done. The
new meadow, and especially the old
one on rather light soil. ought never
TO be pastured, nor should any meadow
be pastured when it IS sc green and
wet that the hoofs of the animals sink
deeply. Where the meadow is on rather
gravelly soil, and is good and strong,
the second growth in the fall may be
pastured for time, provided it is not
done too long nor the cows permitted
to eat the grass too short If this is
done, especially in the colder sections,
there is apt to be considerable grass
winter-killed. Our contributor makes

THE FOOTBALL HARVEST.
This Years Gridiron victims Num-
Der IO-A aiSt of dead

Der AO-A list OF Dead.
Ten deaths from injuries received
on the gridiron is the football harvest
TO date. Besides the deaths and the
fatally injured there is hardly team
in the country which can boast eleven
perfectly sound men.
Fifty-nine recorded deaths is the list
of football fatalities so far for the
twentieth century. Exclusive of the
present season, $50 wearerS of the
moleskin have received injuries on the
field, more or less severe The fatal
tiles recorded are those that occurred
during the season, bat in many in
stances death has followed after
months of suffering from injuries.
The death list for 1905. with the
hard matches yet to come is as fol-
lows, in each instance the victims be-
ing members of high school or small
college teams:
Bryant. James Edward, member
Canon City, Col, high school team;
killed in game with Florence, Col, high
school Oct. 10.
Decker, Miss Bernadotte, IS years of
age; killed in girls football game at
Cumberland, Md, Nov. 2.
Dondero, John c., Jewett City, Conn;
killed in game with Willimatic, Oct %.

team at Phillips Exeter Academy; died
Nov. 9 from meningitis, superinduced by
Injuries sustained in a game in the in
terclass series, Nov. 4.

Gil Bluffs, Iowa, high school team; died

ceived in a game at Harlan, Iowa,
Oct. &c.
SQuires. James. Alton, H., high school
team; died Nov 6 from injuries received
in a game with East ST. Louis high
school Oct. 81.
Summergill, John S. Franklin Col
lege, Chester, Pa; kicked in stomach
during football game Oct. s, and died
soon afterward.
Van Bokkalen. Clarence, IL years old;
member Santa Clara, Cal, high school
team; killed Nov. in game with San
Jose high school that was remarkable
for its brutality; several other players
were seriously injured,

Milwaukee, Oct. 2S.
Wise. Vernon. Oak Park. H.. died two
hours after receiving injuries in a game
between Oak Park high school and the
second team of Hyde Park high school
Nov g.
In nearly every instance the deaths
have led to the abandonment of foot
ball by the high schools and smaller
colleges to which the ten victims be-
longed, and a movement has started
for a modification of the rules for use
in the secondary schools where the
youth of the teams makes the college
game too strong a tax on immature
bodies and unseasoned muscles.

BniIding Winter Roosts,

All poultrymen do not realize the
Importance of care in constructing
roosts in the winter poultry house. 1t
is worth spending considerable time
to do this work properly in the begin
ming, for less fighting of vermin will
be necessary in consequence and there
will be little danger of injured birds.
In the first place, construct all the
roosts so that they are movable. This
is easily done by arranging the end
pieces, the portions which sustain the
roosts, with deep cuts shaped Ike the
letter v, into which the roosts may be
set. They are easily removed if con-
structed in this manner. Then the
roosts must be placed low, from fif-
teen to eighteen inches being about
right, the lesser distance for the
heavier breeds. If it is necessary to
place the roosts higher then a board
with cleats across should be provided
so that the fowls may walk up to the
first rooSt. but do not place them high
if it can be avoided. for the birds are
likely to reach the ground by flying,
in the morning, no matter how much
care they may take in walking up the
board at night Once a week remove
the roosts and pour kerosene oil in
the notches in which the ends rested
and thus destroy Matching place of YER
