The easiest possible crop with ia
vorable season is sixty bushels of corn
to the acre. Still not one man in
twenty attains this. What with poor
seed, poorly prepared soil, insufficient
cultivation, poor planting, the average
crop of the corn growing states is less
than half the possible crop. ..~.

The average man has no conception
Of the vast area of the possible wheat
fields of the far northwest. There is
an empire in western Canada where
wheat for the whole world could be
easily produced. Land which will pro-
duce an average crop of twenty BUSH
els per acre of No. hard wheat for
ten years in succession is there in
area as large as all the New England
states put together. ,

The principal and best results which
will accrue from the seed corn cam

be that corn growers will be induced

Cotton, which seemed to be over
produced last winter. and much Of
which was not picked, is up again to
IL cents, price which is the same,
SO far as profit to the producer is con-
cerned, as would be 20 cents for corn
or 81 per hundredweight for pork.
Every effort was made to restrict the
acreage planted to cotton this year,
and now the men who did this wish
they had not done so.

There are altogether too many people
who are satisfied if they can at the
end of the year just pay out and make
both ends meet. While this is in a
way better than running behind, a
man should have ambition to do some
thing better. There are large possibili-
ties connected with saving even so
small an amount as $50 year.

For one day in the year the Amer
lean people make a great fuss over the
American eagle-'proud bird" and all
that--and then turn around and kill
every one they see the balance Of the

a piece Of barbarism anyway. So rare
that they attract attention whenever
seen, why should they be killed?

We saw some real skim milk calves
the other day. We doubt If they had
ever tasted whole milk. They looked
just like the poor little orphans at the
English workhouse 80 well described
by Dickens. 1t is all mistake to try
to raise a good calf ON nothing better
than skim milk from the start They
might have been the best bred animals
in the country, yet the want Of proper
food makes scrubs Of them.

Just as this is written 1t Is very
catchy and aggravating time for secur-
ing the hay crop. Not one-half Of a
very large crop will be secured as
good forage When man gets silo
he is entirely exempt from this trouble,
for no matter how much rain may fall
while he is filing his silo 1t never does
more harm than simply to hinder the
work; the silage is always good,
whether put in wet or dry.

We know Of hundreds of farmers
who would be rid of debt, make more
money and enjoy life hundred per
cent more if they would just sell half
the land they nominally own. There
is an immense satisfaction in getting

it is all your own and that you owe
no man a dollar. Some men never en-
Joy this pleasure In all their lives.

The bicycle, which for a, few years
formed the center of many of the sport

pletely fallen from It's high position
and Is valued today solely as a utility
machine, in which capacity II is doing
most valuable work. We have not
heard Of scorcher for nearly two
years, and, II anything, the machines
are more popular out in the country
districts than in the cities. The auto
now monopolizes public attention as a
sporting craze. This in time will fol-
low the bicycle; It will become cheaper
In price, the country horses will get
used to 1t, and 1t will take its place

The great trouble with the American
people today is that they all want to
get rich In a hurry, can't be content
with slow and safe gains. Nine-tenths
of them commence specializing and
gambling as soon as they can reach up
to drop nickel in slot machine and
keep the thing up as long as they live
and die poor. The old fashioned way
of being content with moderate profits
in the doing of legitimate business
is almost out Of date.

Two hundred miles to q creamery is
getting to be common thing all
through the west, the cream being
shipped that distance to central
creamery plant, which converts 1t into
butter. The cost Of shipment Is about
cent pound for the butter it will
make, which Is as small sum as 1t
can be gathered for and delivered to a
home creamery. This plan Is opening
up great possibilities for the dairy
business in localities where cows have
never heretofore been kept.

The attention Of railway companies
is called to the great value Of sweet
clover as a binder for the earth on all
cuts and fills. 1t fills the ground with
a network of fbrous roots and will
grow most luxuriantly on the steepest
and most barren slopes. 1t Is also self
perpetuating, and once introduced
spreads rapidly and permanently.
Where 1t grows no washing Of the soil
is possible. 1t is by all odds the best
OF any Of our grasses for this purpose.

A friend asks us to tell him whether
there is any place for the college grad
uate on the farm. Why, Of course
there is. 1t never hurts an educated
man to come in contact with the soil,
though at first 1t may hurt the soil.
The college bred man will be quick to
see and avail himself Of every help
possible and will take more readily
because of his training to new and i'm
proved methods Of doing farm work.
The earth has rich reward for the
very best intelligent effort man can
apply to 1t.

CONNElL CAUSES SMILES
Attorney Ticlles the RisibIes of the
Court and Jurors In
Trial.

''These juggernaut cars" "sna wfoors''
and other peculiar attachments and idlOsyn-
crasies OF automobiles came in for some
w. j. Conneil in Judge Redick's court
Tuesday morning. The occasion was the
suit of the Powell Automobile company
against the street railway company for
$500 for damages alleged to have been
done TO a motor vehicle a couple OF months
ago.
Picturing to the jury the scene of the
accident, the attorney for the automobile
company had described IL as being at the
junction of Thirtieth street and Redick
avenue, and had said the tracks of the
street railway company were elevated I'M
duly. Mr.. Connell said Redick avenue at
that point did not come up to its name
1T Is not an avenue or street in the
accepted sense of those terms" he said
but just a rabbit track leading into what
looks like bowling wilderness"
Judge Redck was forced to smile when
Mr.. Connell described the avenue bearing
the family name and the jurors and spec-
tators felt few smokers chasing through
their funny bones when Cornell got TO dis
cussing the gasoline expresses and their
engineers.
In the car at the time OF the accident
were c. e. Perkins, chairman of the board
of directors of the Chicago, Burlington a.
Quincy, together with another man and a
woman. None OF the occupants was hurt

An opera bouffe hold-up resulted seriously
Monday evening at Thirtieth street and

a broken leg while both of the would be

of the victims more or less bruised. The
affair was generally reported as occurring
at the saloon of w. j. Cusick, 1906 North

MED Tuesday morning that il did.
Charles T. Besen of 200 Douglas street,
clerk at the store of X. p. Scllgren 45O2
North Thirtleth street, broke his eft leg
in two places while trying TO make his
escape from whom he believed at the time
to be real hold-up men, but who were
only perpetrating a practical joke Of the
most serious character.
1t was reported from several sourc IS
that the mock hold-up could not nave been
much more dramatic had 1t been the real
thing The report is several patrons of the
Cusick saloon have been boasting recently
of their bravery in the event of meeting
hold-up men. To put the men on their
metal Cusick is said to have taken two
soldier patrons of his place into confidence
Monday evening, the result being the SOL
diers disguised themselves as real masked
bandits, one entering the front door and
the other the rear at the same time, which
was about 9 O'Clock.
Ten men instantly were lined up TO the
wall at the point of revolvers. 1t was at
this point that Besen broke ranks and ran
out of the rear door, stumbling in his haste
and sustaining the injuries mentioned.
When IL came to making the victims OF
the joke give up their valuables one of the
soldiers was stricken with cold feet and
unmasked himself. His companion then
threw his revolver on the floor and a STAN
pede followed.
The soldier holdup men were badly beaten
up and had 1t not been for some of the

northwest of Bonesteel in the Bull Creek
country. charged with horse stealing. While
taking his prisoners to Fairfax, the county
seat of the county, he was overtaken by
a party of masked men who took the pris-
oners from the officer and by threat OF
lynching induced them to make a confess
sion, which is said to involve some prom
inent people in that part OF the country
The two men were then returned to the
officer and are now in jail at Fairfax. The
settlers are now in hopes that they will
soon break UP a desperate gang of horse
thieves which have terrorized the settlers
for a long time.
