The planting season for oil of the
north section of the country is very
brief, often not to exceed three or four
weeks. There are but few crops which
do well planted after May 10, only
beans, millet, sorghum, buckwheat and
what may be termed catch crops. If
poor seed is planted there Is almost
always loss resulting, as there is
not sufficient time for late planted
crops to mature.

When one buys seed corn shelled he
offers big premium for dishonesty to
the man who sells it. The chance to
be tricky, which this affords, will de-
morallze man almost as quickly as
the chance TO sell milk which he knows
will not be tested.

There Is an immense satisfaction in

1t Is tree planting time, and here

The possibilities connected with keep
ing good COW are nowhere better IL
lustrated than where one is kept by the
resident of our smaller towns. We
know Of more than one case where
such COW, usually a full blood or high
grade Jersey or Guernsey, will supply
family of four with all the milk,
cream and butter needed and, besides,
bring its owner in an income of over
500 per year, this result being possible
because ready market is found for
milk and cream ut ghprlces.

1t is always bad policy to permit
the poultry to have the run of and
roost in the horse and COW barns. The
fowls infect the stock with lice, befoul
the managers and while robbing the
horses and cows of their grain get too
much for themselves. Poultry should
be always kept separate from other
domestic animals.

Another corner in wheat has gone to
pieces. The wheat raisers who had
wheat to sell have been benefited, the
poor man has had to pay almost two
prices for his bread, bank cashiers have
gone wrong, few men have made a
fortune and the country is every way
the worse off because of the rascally
business. II this republican form Of
government Of ours, over which we
brag so much, could manage some way
to prevent strikes and corners it would
do great service to the people at
large.

All along the Missouri river are
ranges of clay hills, free from rock
and made up Of pure loess soil
which is just as fertile at depth Of
100 feet as it is at the surface. These
hills are too steep to cultivate in or
dinary crops, but one man at Sioux
City has discovered that they will
grow the finest of alfalfa and Is con
verting whit has heretofore been a
poor pasture range into alfalfa fields,
which he tells us bring him In n net
income of $50 per acre. This increases
the value of these lands from $25 per
acre to over $100. This is an instance
of the success which awaits any man
who Is bright enough to put things to
their proper use.

The progressive farmer is quite apt
to be great disturber of the peace in
his community. There are so many
people welded to old ways and grand
fathers notions that they resent any
attempt to change the old order of
things. A man who decided to and did
care for the highway along his farm
regardless Of his road tax, doing the
work for nothing, was for two years
called fool by his less enterprislng
neighbors, and not for space of three
years was he able to get them to CO.
operate with him. At last his good ex-
ample had its effect, and they quit call
ing him fool and followed his public
spirited example.

If one seeks country where it Is
never very hot and never very cold,
where no blizzard, snow, thunderstorm
or cyclone ever comes, he is quite likely
TO find the fact of living reduced to
very commonplace sort of proposition.
1t Is the contrasts of life which fur
nlsh its eliXirs. A living easily won
and lazily enjoyed will not evolve
very high type of manhood.

There Is something besides three ker-
nels of corn in hill Of good germinat-
ing power necessary to make a good
crop of corn. There must be available
fertility and moisture for three stalks
to develop so that they can produce
three good ears. On worn land, even
If three stalks were secured In each
hill, also on better soil when n drought
came, 1t would be found that the con-
dltions were such that only one stalk
could make an ear. Important as Is
the question of using good seed corn,
closely allied with it and of equal inn
portance is the need Of so rotating the
crops and caring for the fertility Of the
soil that good crop may be possible
when the good stand is obtained

A smooth, hard dirt road makes the
bile. Such road is in a measure elas-
tic, does not wear out the tires of the
machine as does the macadamized road
and permits the machine to attain its
best speed. The automobile is becom-
ing very common all over the country,
and the men who own and use these
machines are so much Interested In the
Improvement of the country dirt roads
as any class. The highways as now
cared for are either so muddy or so
rough that there is little pleasure to be
had out of cross country tours. This
condition of the highways is easily
remedied by the new method of drag
ging the roads after every rain.
We believe the day will come when
n large per cent of the now abandoned
farms of the eastern states will be In
! measure reclaimed and restored. 1t
Is being found out that on many of
them alfalfa will grow and do well,
and where this 'legume can be success
fully grown the problem of restoring
lost fertility is easy. Timber culture
will restore others, the dairy COW still
more, while many will be made profit
able as poultry and small fruit farms.

come from Europe, from countries
where 1t is impossible for poor man
to own foot Of land, and the labori-

We are asked how many kernels Of
corn in n hill will bring the best re-
suits. This depends upon two things
fertility of the soil and moisture dur
ing the caring period. Where soil IL
very poor or during drougH one
stalk in hill will yield more csrn to
the acre than If there were two or more
stalks. Where the soil Is very rich ana
the moisture ample four good stalks in
n hill are not too many. Taking corn
fields as they average, it may be said
that three stalks in a hill Is plenty and
better two than four.

An old corn raiser says that If sod
land intended for corn Is so well pull
verified that the seed can be planted as
deep as ON old land the cutworms will
not seriously injure the crop. While
they will cut the corn down, it will
still be cut off SO far above the heart
Of the plant that it will send up new
shoot. When it is planted shallow on
the sod 1t cannot thus recover. If true,
this Is worth knowing, for only late
planting, which endangers the crop in
the fall, has been heretofore considered
preventive of damage by these
worms.

From our point of view we regard
the new method of working the earth
roads by dragging them after every
rain during the open season as en-
bodylng, where the plan is adopted,
the greatest reform which has ever
come to the people who live where dirt
will bring about n reform, a benefit
which will touch all the people both
in commercial, social and economic
way. Bad roads are ever blight and
hindrance TO the comfort and pros
perity Of any people. If they can be
made good so easily as they may be
by the new method it is surely grand
undertaking.

A Connecticut woman made the nice
!um Of $500 last year raising turkeys
and chickens. She raised 250 turkeys,
which brought her over 50 each. There
was gooI deal of trouble and bother
getting the birds started, but once well
on their feet they were placed in charge
of a boy herder and lived mostly on
green food and grasshoppers until fall,
when they were finished for market on
corn. This was nice salary for wo-
man to earn--more money than she
could have expected to get in almost
any employment open to woman, and
aside from two months in the year the
birds required only small portion OF
her tims. Neither did 1t require large
farm or much capital to obtain this re-
suit.

THE DIRT ROAD.


roads Of all the country, especially of
all the vast territory of the prairie
northwest, is this: They have been
graded up at some time and never
touched since. The roadbed may be
sixteen feet wide, is dished toward
the center, with ridges of earth piled
up ON each side of the wheel tracks, and
there are dips and hollows and every
condition requisite for the formation
of mudholes just as soon as rain
falls. The puddled condition of the
surface of this roadbed makes 1t prac-
tically water tight. and the water
which accumulates upon 1t must re-
main until evaporated. After 1t dries
up 1t becomes SO rough that it is In
almost as bad a condition as when
wet, and not until prolonged period
of dry weather has come does this
road ever become in any sense good
road. Now, this can all be remedied
at very small expense and at very

ASPHALT COMPANY ACCUSES
THEM OF EXToRTloN
Charges That They Deliberately At
tempted to Secure 100000 by
Observation-Disclosures, the Revolution
ary Leader, Makes Statement
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Allegations
that high officials in the Venezuelan
government deliberately attempted to
extort from the company the sum of
$4O0,0O0 are made in a statement given
out tonight by the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt company in refer
ence to the suit brought by the Vene-
zuelan government for $11 10000 dam
ages for aiding in the Matos rebel
lion.
The means used by these officials.
according to the allegation, included
blackmail. confiscation Of the COM
panys property, the manufacture of
false testimony and the making of
DEGREES without regard to law.
In reference to the $13O,00O paid the
revolutionary leader, Matos, the state
ment says:
1.-THE money was paid for the pro-
lection of the company's property dur
ing the continuance of the revolution
and for the protection of its just rights
thereafter in case the revolution sue
ceeded and without any understanding
or obligation with respect to its use.
During the entire continuance of the
revolution the company, and, so far as
it is advised, all it's agents in Vene-
zuela, as they were instructed to do,
maintained absolute neutrality"

OFFICERS BAFFLED
BY MURDER MYSTERY
Body of Unidentified Man Is Found on
Cudahy Ranch
Remains First Believed to Be Those of Missing
Frank LamOnca, but Friend of Fruit
Man Fail to Fix Identify

Who Is the man whose body was
found on the Cudahy ranch yesterday
morning by a Chinese leborer? Did
he just wander out to that place and
die a natural death there, or was he
the victim OF some assassin?
These are two questions that are
puzzling the police and detectives.
Several theories supporting murder
have been found, and as many sup
porting death from natural cause.
About the man there Is a striking sim
ilarity to Frank Lamonica, the Italian
fruit peddler who has been missing
from the city since October 20.
Deputy Sheriff Sepulveda, an inti-
mate friend of Lamonica, Of twelve
years standing, accompanied the cor
oner to the Cudahy ranch last night,
but was unable to identify the body
as being that of Lamonica.
The body of the dead man was found
yesterday morning by Chin Sing, a
Chinese in the employ Of Manager
Humid of the Cudahy ranch. 1t was
found lying between rows in a large
potato patch Decomposition has evil
IDENTIFY been going on for two or three
week at the least, or about since the
Nothing but a sack of tobacco was
found upon the body of the dead man.
He wore a pair of dark trousers, a
dark brown vest and a dark coat, q
soft white shirt, no tie, and large, rub
ber-webbed gaiter shoes. His hat was
missing. He wore no suspenders, but
supported his trousers with narrow
leather belt.
Around the place where the body was
found the ground was considerably
trampled, strongly pointing to a strug-
gle. From the place where the mar
lay, to a large patch of high weeds, a
direct path led through patch OF
cauliflower and potato plants. The con-
dition of the plants showed that the
man had been dragged over them, but
whether the man had been forcibly
dragged or had crawled there himself
could not be determined last night and
probably never will be.
The sandy condition of the soil has
removed all blood stains If any ever
existed. The rains have also served
to blot out any trail made by murder

Autonomy Will Not
Be Granted
Any Attempt at Liberty
Be Su ppressed
Cars Government Gives Notice That
Effort to Restore Old Kingdom
Will Be Met With Severe
Treatment
BY Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 12.-An off,
recalls the fact that the imperial ukase
of December 25, last year, establishes
basis for the gradual renovation of
the civil life of Russian subjects and
points out that the measures adopted
In pursuance of that ukase affected
equally the Polish people. The ukase
says:
Forgetting the painful lessons of the
past, the politicians who are directing
the national movement in the kingdom
of Poland are making attempts as
dangerous for the Polish population as
they are insolent toward Russia, to
bring about the separation of the EN-
pire Rejecting the idea of working
in common with the Russian people in
the douma, they are demanding in a
series of revolution meetings the CONF
plete autonomy of Poland with a special
constitutional diet, thereby aiming at
the restoration of the kingdom of
Poland.
THE government will not tolerate
dltdChS Oil tlle llleSTlLy Oh If1e empire,
insurrectionary plots or acts of vio-
lence. 1t declares in decisive manner
that as long as the troubles in the
Vistula districts continue and as long
as that part of the population adhering
to political agitators continues it's pres
ent sway these districts shall receive
none of the benefits resulting from
the manifestos of August Is and Octo-
Der 30, 1905.
"There could obviously be no question
of realizing pacific principles in a coun-
try in a revolt. Therefore, for the
restoration of order all the districts
of the Vistula are temporarily declared
to be in a state of war.
THE future of the Polish people
thus depends upon themselves. The
government having desire to continue
safeguarding the integrity and national
rights of the Polish people extended by
recent Legislative acts, expects the peo-
ole to recover from the present intoXl-
cation which has come over the king
dom of Poland, the population of which
has become a prey to the agitators,
while at the same time it is putting
the people on guard against entering
dangerous path which unfortunately
they have not for the first time trod."
