Relaxations.

'Every mind frets for relaxation, "
says a writer. "Some men find it
sufficient relief to take their pleas
ures on their own little tennis courts
or croquet lawn. Others, like Rich
elieu, will call in the servants and
have leaping match in the hall /;
or, like Cardinal Mazarin, shut
themselves in room and fly over
the chairs. Sir Isaac Holden used
to get recreation out of compulsory
walking. The more active the mind
the greater the need for physical
recreation. Gladstone cut down
trees, rode and walked, and when
none Of these occupations was open
to him threw himself head over
heels down a grass bank. This feat
was eclipsed by the staid and orderly
member of the house of commons
who would solemnly throw a back
somersault as he walked home
through Hyde park"

A Stronu Wind,

Mr.. Freshman-I am told that the
wind blows quite strongly here at
times.
Prominent Citizen-Well, yes;
that is SO. I've knowed it to blow
for twelve days and nights on a
stretch, and hold sheep up against
the side of barn fourteen feet
from the ground all that time, and
never once let him fall. And an
other time it blew so hard that the
crows in Farmer Tatehcrop's corn
field couldn't fly back to the rookery,
but they had to walk home. And
another time it blew SO hard that
when young Spoonamore was crossed
in love and tried to kill himself by
jumping over precipice the wind
blew him back again every time.
| assure you, stranger, the wind can
blow in these parts.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE CORN CROP

A number Of leading agricultural pa
pers are specializing as to what shall
be done with the corn crop of 1905, as
one and consequently low in price. 1t
looks to us as though II the crop Of
2,350000,C00 bushels Of 1904, which
was one of the largest crops ever pro-
duced, has disappeared at about 40
cents a bushel, leaving empty corn
cribs all through the corn belt, there
Is small need to worry as to what will
become of the crop of the present year,
which bids fair to be but little, If any,
larger than that of last year. The fact
Is the uses for the corn crop have been
so multiplied and the cost of trans
portatlon so lowered compared with
what it was twenty-five years ago that
no one need be In the least worried as
to the demand fol all the corn we can
or ever will raise. There Is q perma-
nent export demand for corn on II ba-
sis of living prices to the producer, or
at 20 to % cents bushel at primary
markets. But the real market for our
DiS cTOpS Vi cDTu Is IlsuI ul HOlnc Ullu
Is very easily absorbed by the men who
are making the beef, the pork, the but
ter, the poultry and other food prod
ucts, and there is to be good demand
FOR all these products, for tiie American
workingman las ample employment at
good wnges, and whenih he has work
and good pay lie is always a good eat-
er. No need to worry about the corn
crop, for it is not going to be as big
as some crop boomers try to make It.
and every bushel is wanted. The real
thing to worry over Is the fact that the
average yield Of corn per acre Is not
one-half what 1t should and might be.

THE ALASKAN MOOSE.
he Is the 0reatost Of All the Worlds
Horned Animals,


After all has been said about the
horns of the worlds greatest horned
animals there is positively none
that equals in impressiveness the gi-
gantic mass that crowns the head of
really big Alaskan moose. Take
them in stu, as the geologists say,
on the head Of their Sashtful owner,
and in length, breadth and thickness
they inspire in the mind of every in
telligent human being a feeling of
genuine awe. l do not see how even
an intelligent dog or horse can be-
hold a pair Of seventy inch moose
antlers without being profoundly
impressed. The antler springs hori-
zontally from an upper corner Of
the head on stem of solid bone
that is like the trunk of hickory
sapling. A foot or so from the bur
it throws off toward the front
quite gratuitously, as it were-two
or three big spears of bone that are
of much use in fight. AS soon as
there is room for real development
the main stem fattens out into an
enormous slab of bone, perhaps two
inches in thickness, from twelve to
eighteen inches wide and from two
to three feet long. This is the "pal-
nation" and very appropriate
name it is, too, for in the center it is
followed like human palm and
studded along its upper edge from
six to twelve fingers and thumbs Of
solid bone.
In sheer -eXuberance of strength
and excess of horn material an Alas
kan moose antler occasionally
throws off from the lower surface Of
Its palm, or 1t may be from the front
of the beam, big, rugged spur root
of bone, which always has an extra
impressive effect on the beholder.
The largest antlers of Alaskan
moose are in the Field museum at
Chicago. They have a spread of sew
enty-eight and half inches and
weigh ninety-three and half
pounds.-W. Il. Hornaday in Scrib-
ner's Magazine.

ALFALFA FOR HOGS.

We are In receipt of two or three
Inquiries as to whether 1t is possible
to grow alfalfa profitably In Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa. The
facts go to show that alfalfa can be
grown in any Of the states named on
any rich, well drained soils and that it
will stand the winter weather of that
region. 1t will not, however, take the
place Of clover, as 1t does not work in
we'll with any ordinary course of crop
rotation, and 1t will always be found
that the first cutting, which comes in
June, will be exceedingly hard to cure
for hay. In the territory referred to
its chief use will be for q hog pasture,
and in this capacity 1t will prove sim
ply invaluable, for it furnishes the hogs
of the corn belt region just the thing
which Is needed to balance their ra-
tions, the hog which has the run OF an
alfalfa pasture being always thrifty,
we'll boned, healthy. We most unhesi-
tatingly advise every man. who makes
business of raising hogs to make ev-
cry effort to get five or ten acre al
lOE IiNG uCleS
will carry fifty hogs and, besides. give
two cuttings Of hay after July. The
many experiments which have been
made during the past two years show
that n stand can be secured more sure
ly when the seed is sown In August on
wei! fertilized and well prepared land
than when sown in the spring. Alfalfa
pasture for sheep, horses and cattle Is
not good thing, as there is danger of
bloat. Alfalfa hay, however, makes a
very fine winter ration for the dairy
cow, the hay when well cured being
worth pound for pound about as much
as bran. The many small fields of al
falfa which have been sown in Iowa
the past two years are nearly all a
great success.

There never has been time In our
recollection when the prices of all COM
modities maintained more harmoni-
ous relation to each other than at
present. No commodity is excessively
high In price, none selling below the
cost OF production, and. what is more,
prices for commodities bear fair and
equitable relation to the wages paid
to labor. While perhaps some Of our
economic conditions might be bettered,
II Is well to remember how very easily
they might be made worse, for there
Is no country on earth where the COM
mon people are better fed, better
clothed or better housed than In Amer
iea.

1t is generally supposed that the raw
ages of the corn root worm are con-
fined to those fields which are kept

been continuously In blue grass for a

Small gas plants for the use OF our
smaller towns are rapidly coming into
use, affording cheap fuel supply and
means OF illumination. They are made
possible by the use of what Is known
as gas OIL grade of kerosene oil which
Is the by prG1uct OF the oil retineres
which Is worthless for Illuminating
purposes and not heavy enough for q
lubricatlng oil, which. being very
cheap, can be used by means of Il gus
retort to furnish gus Of excellent
quality for lighting and heating pur-
poses. The owner OF such plant In Il
town of $3.50 people told us recently
that he would rather have 300 patrons
for such n plant than to own the ma
tional bank OF the town. so far as as
sured profits We're concerned. In this
case The gas was furnished at $150
per 1,v;O feet, which because OF the
superior heating and lighting quality
Of such oil gas was equivalent to ordl-
nary gus at VI per 1000 feet.

When an animal, or, for that matter.
man, Is carefully trained for the do
Ing of some particular kind of work it
Is noticeable that his progeny will Ill
ways take more readily to that partlc-
ular kind of work than the progeny Of
individuals not SO trained. 1t is culti-
waiting this tendency which has result
ed in giving us some of the most valu-
able types Of animals we have. The
st. Bernard dog because of this ances-
trail training needs Dttle. effort to make
him the searcher and rescuer of lost
travellers in mountain regions; the
young hound readily takes to the truck
of the rabbit or deer. the setter to the
trail of the winged Wild fowl, the shep-
herd dog to the care and herding of
the flock Of sheep. Following this law
has given as the many types of fancy
pigeons and poultry, and the same rule
worked to Its ultimate end has given
us all our improved breeds of domestic
animals.

In considering the varied things
which may be rightly credited to the
administration Of our worthy president
we incline to think that SO far as this
country Is concerned the legislation
providing for the reclamation of the
desert by means OF irrigation will in
the end prove to be the most far reach
ing and beneficial. AS the several irri-
cation projects now under way are
sized up, it appears that an empire of
the most fertile land on earth is by
means of irrigation to be made avail
able as homes for the American people.
We have lately inspected a line of agrl-
cultural products from some of the
irrigated farms of Wyoming, and these
samples, at least, so far eclipse similar
products Of the nonirrigated sections
that what we have been wont to term
the best farm land on the continent is
simply outclassed.

We watched an old man the other
day trying to repair the picket fence
which inclosed his garden. He must
have been very old, for he could not
take n step without the aid Of his
cane and his hand trembled SO that he

efforts to drive a nail were painful to
see. Noting him at work in his feeble
and almost useless way we were i'm
pressed with the fact that man hates
to give up working. and it is we'll 1t is
so, for work is a panacea for more of

painful effort and trembling hands.
