We really wish that quail were no
better eating than the crow, and then
it might be possible for us to keep a
stock of these pretty and most useful
birds around our farms. AS 1t Is, IL
the little fellows survive an arctic win
ter and hatch out good brood and
dodge the skunks and the hawks. some
miserable pot hunter will annlhilata
the whole bunch at one pot shot as
they are huddled under bush, by the
time winter comes, and then go off
and brag how many he killed at one
shot. Tho Chinese and Japs 90 far

game birds, which become almost as

We noted the difference lately be-
tween two fields of corn-one growing
on Il clover sod turned over year ago.
the other, Immediately adjoining,
planted on field which had been crop
ped with small grain for several sue
cessiye years. One was rich, dark
! green and good for sixty bushels per
acre II not more. the other was yellow,
feeble and everywhere lacking In thrift
and vigor and cannot possibly produce
over twenty-five bushels of corn to the
acre. Now 1t was giving the land ro-
tation In clover, that fertilizing and
soil fitting work which the clover plant
does for the land, which made all the
difference between these two crops.
Many men do not understand this i'm
portant fact and never use clover, and
they never raise rs good crops as their
neighbors who do. Every 100 acre
farm has back and remote fields which
are too distant to be handily reached
with the manure spreader, and for all
such fields clover ia the best and
cheapest fertilizer possible to use.

Whenever the farmers OF any conf
munity organize cooperative society
for the purpose of shipping their own
grain and other farm produce they In
variably run up against n snag when
they try to secure site for an elevator
on the railway grounds. the roads not
taking kindly to this new method of
doing business and doing oil In their
power to protect the owners Of eleva-
tors already built. Passing the ques-
ton of the wisdom or economy of this
cooperative method of handling farm
products, we 90 not think the roads
have any moral right to discriminate In
favor Of any man or set of men and
that the privileges associated with the
use of the roads should be open to all
alike and that without question or de-
bate The people gave the corporations
their valuable rights and franchises
and in many cnses helped to construct
the roads themselves, and 1t is simple
equity that there should be no discrinil-
nation practiced by them.

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, 1t 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 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 nonirrigatel sections
that what we have been wont to term
the best farm land on the continent i5
simply outclassed.

Small gas plants for the use of our
smaller towns are rapidly coming into
use, affordlng a cheap fuel supply and
means OF illumination They are made
possible by the use of what is known
IS gas OIL grade Of Kerosene oil which
is the by product of the oil reiineries
which Is worthless for illuminating
purposes and not heavy enough for
lubrlcatlng oil, which. being very
cheap. can be used 10y means Of gas
retort to furnish gas of excellent
quality for lighting and heating pur-
poses. The owner OF such plant In
town of 1850 people told us recently
that he would rather have $50 patrons
for such plant than to own the ma
tional bank OF the town. so far as as
sured profits were concerned. In this
case tie gas was furnished at $150
per Lou feet. which because OF the
superior heating and lighting quality
Of such oil gas was equivalent to .ordi-
nary gas at 81 per l,000 feet.

We watched an old man the other
day trying to repair the picket fenc.
which inclosed his garden. He must
have been very old, for he could not

If the name Valentine is derived
from the Latin verb VALERIE, as some
authorities suggest, the meaning is
courageous, heroic--a hero.
In a variety Of forms the name has
been known from ancient times. Three
tinianus, or Valentinian, and one, the
first Of the name, the noblest Roman Of
them all, had so many good qualities
that if everything had been equal to
him he would have been another Traian
or Marcus Aurelius.
The brother Of .Valentinian /. was
Valens, emperor of the east. One of
the popes was named Valentine. Basil
Valentine, monk and alchemist, was the
from the ore, and in. his honor white
oxide Of anthony is called valentinite.
He was not only seeker of the philoso-
pher g stone, but author as well.
Valentine Is the name Of consider
able number Of saints. In one st. Val
entine every one is interested, altho no
one has ever. been able to tell exactly
have any possible lot in the affairs Of
Cupid and Hymen. It has been sug-
gested that there is at least similar
ity in sound between Valentine and
Galentin, a French diminutive for gal.
liant. This quite leaves the saint out In
the cold. The most popular way is to
give the saint all the credit, without
trying to reason out the why and where
| fore. Nine. Royal, daughter Of Henry
w, so far honored him that she built
a palace near Turin which she named
the Valentine, and at the first enter
tainment which she gave she caused
the ladies to receive lovers for the year
by lot, whence arose the custom Of
choosing sweethearts by lot on st. Val
entine 5 Day and Of calling them valen-
tines.
To return to the family history. The
French and Spanish form Of the name
is Valentin. In italian it is Valentino
or Valentinus. In Dutch it is Valen-
tyn, which is also the more common
colonial form. Variations Of the name
are Valentine, Vollentine, Vollinton,
Volingtine and even Follington Mem
bers Of the same family often show q
great spirit Of independence in regard
to the photography. Captain Joseph
Valentine, who was in the war Of 1872
and intensely patriotic, became so ex-
asperated at his family, who were in
clined to be loyalists, a1tho they after
wards took the oath Of allegiance, that
he changed one letter Of the. name and
wrote himself down Valentine.
