A Crop That Was Costly.
w. II. Martin, OF South Carolina, tells
n story OF bit of extensive farming
In that state back In 1889. A prize Of
$1,000 was offered for the best yield Of
corn OH one acre and farmer by the
name of Drake selected an acre which
only the year before produced tlvt
bushels OF corn. The fertilization be-
gan In February. and was continued
several times during the making of the
crop. The total material used was H.
900 bushels of stable manure, 600
bushels OF cotton seed. s86 pounds ut
German kainit and cotton seed meal,
200 pounds OF acid phosphate. LOGS
pounds. OF manipulated guano, 200
pounds OF animal bone 400 pounds OF
nitrate OF soday, the value of the stable
manure being $40 and the other fertlllz-
ers $40. The seed planted was brakes
improved corn. u variety raised by Mr..
Drake. One bushel was used. The
planting was done March 2, and on
June IL posts and stakes had to be
put up along the rows to keep the corr,
from falling. The rows We're alternate
ly about three and six feet apart The
plants were five or six inches apart, one
stalk in place The crop was harvest
ed November 25. The total cost was
S26442. The product 254 bushels and
40 pounds, at rs cents bushel was
$191.16 The fodder, one and half
tons, was worth SIS. Total, $296.16.
But the land was good for a 800 crop
for several years to come.

FEAR IT SPREADS GERMS
Waving Of Handkerohiefs Believed to
B. Cause Of the Spread Of Germs
and IL 10 Decided to Substitute indi-
.viduai Flags at The Meetings Of the
Society in the Future.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. s.-Because
they believe disease germs are spread
by, waving handkerchlefs In the chau-
&auqua salute SO dear to all gatherings
of women, the w. &. T. U. has decided
to abolish that feature OF their meet :
lngs. Hereafter Individual flags OF
red, white and blue will be carried by
each delegate and these will replace
the handkerchiefs In the salute.
Just where. the. idea that handker-
chief waving is, not sanitary Originate
ed no one In the national convention
here seems to knew, but at a semi
formal discussion yesterday It was
agreed beyond all doubt that whole
regiments Of disease germs are lib
Grated in the atmosphere every time
the chautuuqua salute Is given.
Several prominent physicians are In
attendance at the convention and they
have informed members that this GUS
tom should be abolished. Yesterday
the substitute was much in evidence
and ut future meetings a sharp look
out will be kept that no microbes are
set free by waving handkerchiefs. II
Is believed the plai, originated here on
account OF the fact many delegates
are suffering from slight colds con-
tracted on the trip and members with
medical knowledge Immediately point
ed out danger OF promiscuous salut-
ang.

vention ended last night, when the

could have got to shore easily, but the
older girl in her fright did what no hui

to shake her off sufficiently to swim a
little toward the shore. But all three

happily a big and strong policeman
who heard the outcries came running
to the scene. He sprang into the water
and helped Danny to the shore with his

Poor Danny was so exhausted he
could only go off to himself and lie

Tho Shaltarina Of Cattle.

Herbert w. Mumford, of the Illinois
Agricultural Experiment Station. an
snouncfng results OF Investigations as to
the method OF cattle feeders says:
There are wide differences OF opin-
ion among practical feeders as to the
amount and kind of shelter neces-
sary for fattenlng cattle. In reply to
the question, DO you feed in sheds
or In the STALL In pens or open tield?'
one-half the correspondents state that
sheds are used, about 0ne-thlrd. con-
sisting almost entirely OF those who
feed In spring and summer, use pens,
lots or open fields. but usually give
the cattle access to shade or shelter
OF one sort or another; about 10 per
cent feed in barns. only two indlvld-
uals OF whom practice stall feeding;
and a few use woods and straw stacks
for shelter. The question, Would
you under any circumstances advise
feeding In open lots without shelter
Of any kind? brought out, princi-
pally, very emphatic protests against
such practice. Says n Winnebago
county feeder: 4 think fat cattle
should have MS good sheds as dairy
Cows A Hancock county feeder
writes: I have used a barn 4s by 81
the last two winters for rough feeding
and consider 1t has paid for itself
This man feeds 100 head. An Indiana
feeder who fattens 500 head yearly
writes: L regard shelter as indis-
pensible in winter feeding Another
Indiana feeder who feeds In the win
ter answers: use sheds, but would
feed in the open before ! would sell
my grain and roughage and haul II
Off the farm
IA considerable number of those
who feed In summer and fall indicate
their approval OF feeding during these
seasons without other shelter than
that necessary to furnish shade. A
few feeders report that they find
shelter unnecessary even in winter
weather For example, a Cass county
feeder who has fed an average OF 100
cattle per year for 40 years. says: We
feed so altogether and make as good
gains as some Of our neighbors who
have Sheds Nothing beats good
straw stacks for CATTLE Is declared
by two feeders In Douglas and Pike
counties respectively. both OF whom
feed In fall and winter.
Among Iowa and Nebraska corres
spondents we find a larger percentage
than in Illinois Of those who feed
without sheds, hut In most instances
a windbrake OF some Kind Is provided
r. M. Allen, manager OF the Standard
Cattle Company, OF Arnes. Neb.. says:
we feed in open yeards generally pro-
tected by groves OF trees. In Few
instances with sheds. My design OF
feed lot is one with q hay rack OF
my own design, 30 elevated as to give
a great deal OF shelter The report
of this, firm is based on the feeding
OF 1889 cattle during n period OF Ia
years. The following Is quoted from
the reply of another Nebraska firm
based on an experience OF % years
during which $4,000 to $4,000 cattle
have been fattened by them: Don't
want sheds of any kind for tat cattle
in large numbers: want wlndbreaks
such as hay stacks, hayracss or tight
high board fences Both OF the last
named establishments feed mainly in
fall and winter.

they decorated it gayly with flags and

He started as fast as he could to the
gallery to eXtinguish the flame, but
