CAMERA VERSUS SHOTGUN.

There is fascination about all forms
Of wild life, animals and birds, which
is never associated with our domestic
animals, certain alertness, adapta-
ton to conditions in habit and colora-
ton, each with its armor Of self pro-
lection developed to the highest degree,
being hunted from birth to death. A
Partridge Cochin rooster is every way
more magnificent bird than a male
ruffed grouse-more brilliant in plum
age, more lordly and artistocratic in
bearing-but should we meet one in
some glen Of the woods among the
alders and bushes he would seem to be
bird wholly out of place, while the
ruIfed grouse poised like a statue on
some rotten log would be the ideal Of
woodland grace and beauty, appealing
alike to the sportsman and the lover Of
nature. All tame geese are the coars-
est of plebeians when compared with
the superb contour, colOring and grace
Of carriage noted In the Canada geese,
those aerial cavalry which traverse the
continent semiannually with trumpet
call and in closely aligned rank. A
male wood duck perched on log by
the side Of some leaf flecked pool in
the woods makes bit of coloring and
beauty nowhere else to be found on
earth. Man can breed bulldogs, Per-
cheron horses, mules, Shanghai roosters
and that sort, but he cannot duplicate
natures grace and elegance with
which she invests the wild deer, the
rattlesnake, the wild fowl. 1t is an in
finite pity that the inherited love of
what we call spOrt-the desire to kill
on sight all forms of wild life-could
not in some manner be abated before
all such forms Of life are wholly wiped
out. If men would only hunt with a
camera instead of breechloader, how
much more real satisfaction would re-
suit! Our woods, fields and streams
would be filed with all these attrac-
tive types Of wild life, just as they are
in Japan and in many parts Of China.
In no way can an American civilizat ton
be better promoted than by exchanging
the shotgun for the camera

A SHORT AND GOOD ROTATION.

II any man owning Il prairie farm
within the limits of the corn belt will
just put into operation the following
system of crop rotation-yiz, first wear
corn, second year some cereal crop,
wheat, rye, oats or barley, seeding this
crop down with clover; third year take
OF crop Of clover hay in July and
plow under the second crop the last
of September, planting again to corn
the fourth year-he will do that which
will insure him at least sixty bushels
Of corn to the acre, fifty of oats and a
soil which will under such system grow
constantly richer and more productive,
This plan may very well be varied a
little to suit farm needs by keeping the
field a year in pasture in addition and
by using Oh the field, preferably in con-
nection with the corn crop, all the avail
able fertilizer on the farm. Doing this
and keeping enough stock to consume
all the products of the land on the
farm will enable the probate court to
turn over to the heirs more fertile
and valuable farm than when it was
first reclaimed from the wild.

Easter

Of a girl brought her brothers lunch

Yes, Beth and I usually spent the

boxes of them behind the counter in

over to grandfather's farm, a mile or
more away, and hunt for what we

A JUNCTION CROSSROADS.

The cosmopolitan character Of our
present improved railway service was
well illustrated by large number of
freight cars which we lately noticed
at junction point Of two roads way
out on western prairie. Among the
medley Of cars were some from Flor
Ida and from Maine, from the great
Pacific systems, from the coal regions
Of Pennsylvania and the oil regions Of
Ohio; there were lumber from Wash
ington, wheat from Dakota, iron from
Pittsburg, oranges from California,
steers from Montana, butter from To-

and not 80 very many years ago, when
man going to New York would have
to change cars and buy twenty differ
ent tickets and when car of western
freight would have to be unloaded and
rebilled several times going the same
distance, this owing to the large num-
Der of railway companies and the vary
ing gauge Of their tracks.

CREAMERY WISDOM.

A creamery plant costing the farmers
of western community $4,5OO four
years ago was sold the past winter for
$500. This is an old story and COM
mon experience. This creamery was
built before the dairying habit had
been developed among the farmers,
built before the cows to support it were
in sight. The town men took hold and
helped. and some grafters from Chica-
go helped boom the enterprise and un-
loaded on the stockholders an outfit
at $500 which at the outside should
not have cost over $4,000. Poor judg-
ment was used in the selection Of COWS
and poorer, still in the matter of feed
ing and caring for them. The patrons
could not make it pay to sell cream,
soon got tired of milking and went
back to selling corn and oats as they
had done for forty years. The next
step was Il forced sale and the dissolu-
ton of cooperative enterprise which,
had it been properly managed. could
have been Of almost incalculable good
to that community. This kind of agri-
cultural tragedies can be found all
over the country. The moral is that
men should get cows and learn how to
properly select, feed and care for them,
and there should be at least 1000 cows
In sight before a dollar is put into a
creamery, and a practical creamery
man should be consulted as to the
plant

Beef men have had to work out the
problem the past winter of feeding
forty cent corn to three and one-half cent
feeders to sell on S4.75 or s. market.
Some have made a tri1e and many

best type Of feeders will show profit

The agricultural college Of one of our
western states has had no less than
5000 samples Of seed corn sent to it
during the past winter for the purpose
OF having it tested as to its germinat-

for every man could have just as we'll
have tested his corn right at his own

The demand for iron and steel may

We never could understand why any

The reason why so much trouble is
associated with seed corn and rarely
any with our cereal grains is that bar
ley, wheat, rye and oats mature early
in the season and, besides, are small
in kernel and not attached to cob, as
is corn, while the corn needs quite Of
ten the entire frostless season in which
to ripen and at that grows on a spongy,
fbrous cob retentive Of moisture. This
fact emphasizes the need of securing
and thoroughly drying corn intended
for seed before the frost hits it, this
being the prime reason for defective
seed corn

At this spring season everybody is
busy raking up and burning the leaves.
This is all wrong, for leaves are too
valuable a fertilizer to be thus wasted.
Rake them up and put in a compost
pile. where they will later decay and
afford leaf mold which is just what
the flowers and garden vegetables de-
light in, or else rake them up and use
them as mulching for the rosebushes,
grapevines and currant and raspberry
bushes. Don't burn them

The fertilizer most needed on the
farm is brains. One man will shin
poorer each year, with unpaid store
bills and compound interest mortgages,
until he gets small sum for his equity
and strikes out to try the miserable
business all over again. Another man
will take the same farm and by COM
bining brain and muscle will not only
get first class living from it, but save
money every year. Farms are often
libeled when it is the owner alone who
is to blame.

The COW alone of all the domestic an
lmals is able to utilize proftably farm
land worth $3.50 an acre and up. The
raiser and seller of grain or hay can
not use such land; it is too costly for
the production Of beef or mutton or
pork, save as the hog is byproduct of
the dairy. The silo is indispensable on
such land, as is well kept poultry Cows

One Of the worst things about the
average American is that he will sell
anything he owns if he can only get
his price. This disposition on his part
tends to make him always unsettled.
When man has good farm, good
home, good neighbors and good in
come, where can he possibly go to bet
ter his condition? In fact, where could
he go where he would not be worse
OF? Lots of men find this truth out
at an expense Of a lot of money and
peace of mind The sensible thing for
men to do in nine cases out Of ten is
to settle down contented, so far as
ever expecting to find home where
everything is all right, and carefully
study how they may make the old
farm more productive, their home
more pleasant and their lives of more
use to their families and to the world.

There must either be a very marked
and permanent increase in the price Of
farm products or the land must be got
into much more productive state if
there is to be much greater advance
in farm values. We do not look for
increased prices for farm products;
hence it land is to be worth more it
must be made to produce more, and
this may be done. The speculative val
ue of farm land is now almost minus
quantity in all the older and we'll set
tied portions of the country, and future
values will be based upon what the
farm can earn.

There is one fact which needs empha-
sizing all through the corn belt, and, for
that matter, all through the wheat and
cotton growing sections as well, and
that is that continuous growing Of the
same crop year after year ON the same
land is absolutely ruinous to the land,
the crop and the man who does it.
There must be rotation of crops and
q part of such crops of that character
which will rest and renovate the soil,
such as grasses to be pastured and
clover. The most common and utterly
inexcusable form Of grand larceny to
be found in the country today is that
