Cold storage Isl being successfully

It is generally supposed that the raw,
ages OF the corn root worm are. con-
hned to- those fields which are kept
continually In corn with no rotation of
crop. but a friend tells = that much of
his corn is injured by his pest on u
field which had previously to this year
been continuously in blue grass for
period OF seventeen years.
Prospects now point to the securing
Of one OF the best matured CROPS OF
corr harvested for many years. The
season has been very favorable. q hot
August proving the salvation OF the
crop. The quality OF the corn will be
of the best, and, being we'll matured, 1t
will naturally have a greater feeding
value than when the frost catches 1t
In an immature stage.
We really wish that quail were no,
bstter 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 It ia, II
the little fellows survive an arctic win
ter and hatch out a. good brood and
dodge the skuuks and the hawks, some
miserable pot hunter will annihilates
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. The Chinese and Japs do far
better than we, for they protect their,
game birds, which become almost as
tame as domestic fowls.
We watched an old man the other
day trying to repair the picket fence
which tnciosed his garden. He must
have been very old, for he could not
take a step without the aid OF his
cane and his hand trembIed go thar he
could hardly hold the hammer and his
efforts to drive 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 Isl we'll it is
SO, for work is q panacea for more of
lifeas troubles than any other thing,
and this old man fixing this fence sug=
gesTed how we'll it is for us all to keep
doing something to make the world
better, even IL it has to- be done with
painful effort and trembling hands.
In considering the varied things
which may be rightly cretiitad to the
OF our worthy pss91ent
we incline To think that SO far - this
oOunIry is e0nasaAed the LEGISLATION
DFovitfing Ter the reclamation of the
desert by nsans af irrfsatisn will in
the end prove To b the NEST tar raneh-
Ing and beneficial. AS the ssvWd ini

the most fertile land on earth 10 by
means OF irrigation to be made avail

We have lately inspected Hns OF a2ri-
S1itural protuets from some ct the
farms Of Wyoming, and these
samples, at least, SO far eelipAe similar,
products OF the nonirrigated sections
that what we have been won't to term
the best farm land ON the continent is
simply outciassed
When an animal. OF, for that matter,
a man, il carefully trained for the do
ing, OF some particular kind OF, work it
is noticeable that his progeny will al
ways take more readily to that parde-
ular kind of work than the progeny of
individuals not SO trained. It is culh-
waiting this tendency which has result
ed in giving us some of the most vaill-
able types of animals we have. The
st. Bernard dog because of this anees-
ral training needs little effort to make
him the sesrcllef and rescuer OF lost
travellers in mountain regions: the
young hound readily takes to- the track
1f the rabbit or deer the setter to the
railg of the winged wild fowl. the siep-
herd dog to the care and heftiing OF
The flock OF sheep. Following this law
has given us the many types OF fancy
pigeons and poultry, and the same rule
worked to- its ultimate end has given
III all our imprnved breeds OF domestic
animals.
