HEALTH, WEALTH AND WISDOM

HEALTH, WEALTH AND WISDOM Young man, go to the dirt and be healthy, wealthy and wise. Prof An drew M. Soule, of the Virginia Agricul- tural College, has compiled statistics of the live stock industry in the United States which will be a revelation to many. Under the heading of live stock he includes fowls as well as cattle. In his view, no vocation offers greater op- portunities than the breeding of stock. In 1899, according to his statement, there were 215, ,23S domestic animals in the United States, of which 17,130,- 67S were classed as dairy COWS, which returned a yearly profit of at least $170,000,O0O to their owners. This amount, it is estimated, might be al- most doubled by scientific feeding. Here, in Professor Soules opinion, is a good field for young men who are look ing for a chance to establish them selves in a profitable business.
 Professor Soule points out that Chi cago, the metropolis of the Middle West, would sink into insigniflcance commercially if it were not for it's trade in live stock and it's manufactures, among which are included the packing and curing of meats. The wholesale trade of Chicago in 1904 was $1, ,7S1, ,OOO,- 900. The livestock transactions aggre- gated $SOO,OoO,o0O; poultry products, butter and eggs, $261 100000; slaughter ing and packing, $39O,OOOOOO. The ag-
 3 gregate is $951, 100000, and if Chicago were deprived of this trade it's; com

Soon he came in sight again, and close behind him was an other one much smaller and doubtless the female. He seemed to be trying to keep out of her way for she was bent on catching him, which she presently did, and grappled with him. Both rolled over and over each other, play fully biting and clawing as two kit tens might have done. Then they jumped to their feet and began chasing one another again, down to the water

The United States is walking all oyer lem. "One of the most popular stores in Hull,'' writes Consul Hamm from the English town of that name, sells nothing but shoes made in Amer ica or on American models. They are shapely, comfortable and durable. They range in price from 10 shillings (about $4) ),and they compare favorably with the boots and shoes sold in Amer ica at the same prices. The basis of their popularity is contained in the fol- lowing remarks frequently heard from men and women: I never wore we'll fitting, comfortable shoe until I put on one of American make This is prob- ably the main reason, and not the price of leather; why the boot. and shoe trade in England is in an unsatisfac- tory condition. English boot and shoe manufacturers get their hides under a free trade tariff. The American manu- facturers pay a duty of from 15 to vS5 per cent. on their imported material. And yet the latter are underselling the former and getting possession of the worlds markets"

There is some newspaper "enter- prise" even in Spain. The Diario Illus trada of Madrid announces that it has asked it's readers to vote on the ques- ton of the most popular prospective wife for the young king, and that 62,5O0 persons have responded. Of these 3O,12S were for Princess Ena of Battenberg, 21,2S6 for Princess Patricia of Con- naught, and 3,OO2 for Princess Louise of Orleans. This Princess Ena has for her full name Victoria Eugenie Julie Ena of Battenberg and is the prettiest girl in the royal circle of F:.1sei.ar,3S.

E There is such thing as carrying a fad too far, says the London Chronicle. The simple life, for instance, is all very we'll from the point of view of our western civilization, but it is conceiva- ble that there are places on the earth's surface where the simple life would be de trop, as it were. Yet one of these faddists, on being asked to subscribe toward sending out a missionary to one of the cannibal islands of the Pacific, is reported to have answered, in the most discouraging manner, Certainly not.

For a quarter of century he was professor at the To- kio University. Most of the prominent physicians in Japan are his pupils Be- fore his departure, the Emperor and his family granted him a special recep- ton, and gave him presents and deco rations, including the Order of the Rising Sun, which is seldom bestowed on any one.

The people want water. and as there

LAND Jumpers on Colorado's 5
school land will encounter a rigid
law after July 18th. At that time
the Bromley bill will become effec-
tive and people who then have state
land fenced To which they have no
title will be amenable TO conviction
and fine Of s25 to 500 a day for
every day that they retain the
fence. Thousands and thousands Of
acres of the school land are illegally
held. but heretofore the state land
board has not been able To get at
the offenders. The practice has
been to lease fraction of land and
then take possession of a larger
tract. The new law makes the
bondsmen responsible as well as the
leaser. Agents are out looking up
the jumpers and twelve suits are
now ready for filing as soon as the
law becomes effective. These suits
embrace over 10000 acres Of land
and involve between 5000 and
5000 in back rentals.

The city council. the drug store

the doctors of La Junta had a con-
ference at the city hall last Friday
night. concerning the new ordinance
regulating the sale of liquor in this

object to their prescriptions being

saloon men object to paying 81 900

LAST Saturday was the third ami
versary of as benefcent a piece of
legislation as has been placed on
the national statute book in several
decades, at least all Colorado is Of
this opinion. On June II. 1902.
President Roosevelt placed his sig
nature to the national irrigation
act Our president seems to have a
genius for doing the right thing at
the right time. He is familiar with
the great results and possibilities Of
irrigation. and an enthusiastic boost
er of the scheme of national aid in
the work of reclaiming the country's
arid lands on a large scale. Last
Saturday. near Reno. New. the
floodgates Of the first irrigation
canal built By the national govern
ment were formally opened. The
people of Colorado are fondly hoping
that they will have the opportunity
of celebrating a similar event in the
not far distant future

Cantaloupes must always be irri-
gated by the furrow system and the
water should never be allowed to
over-soak or flood the ground. as
the soil will then become hard and
not permit good growth. The re-
lation Of irrigation to an early set of
cantaloupes is . somewhat mooted
question. Some growers argue for
frequent irrigztions during the
setting period to secure a good set.
while others prefer to keep the
vines rather dry. even letting them
show the need of water before they
will irrigate during the setting
stage We have seen results that
seemed tn support both theories. yet
close observation would not warrant
following either plan to an extreme.
but rather a medium course Of sup
plying enough moisture for even.

the essential condition all the way
through. An excess of irrigation

From the National Magazine.
So many things need doing this month
that one who is going to have a fine gar
den must hustle. Seeds will be sown in the
open ground, seedlings transplanted old
pot-plants bedded out and many other
things done.
The very first requisite for success is a
well-prepared soil, and that means one
deeply worked, finely pulverized and well
enriched Do not expect success If the soil
is worked but two or three inches in depth
and the roots compelled to force their
way through hard-pan below that. The
plant must be able to send it's roots down
into the soil easily and quickly II luxuriant
foliage and perfect blossoms are to be
secured.
Sometimes, after all possible care has
been taken in preparing the soil and sowing
the seed. a heavy rain will cause crust
to fora over the surface, through which
the tiny plants cannot break. To avoid this
It il wise to scatter a light mulch over the
seed bedtime grass clippings. leaves or any
thing which will offer no resistance to the
plants. A heavy rain may wash trans
planted seedlings loose from the soil. II

Special Cablegram to The Star.

I'm 1871 when, in fight after fight, Prus-
STA won splendid victories, with which ia
pans successes in the present war cannot
be compared, she sought to raise domestic
loan of 12OO0O,O00 thalers, promising 5 per
cent interest, and offering the bonds at S.
But the transaction proved a failure. not
more than one-half of the total being sub
scribed. So too, during the Transvaal war.
the Bank of England had to raise Its rate
of interest from to g. though the opulence
of Great Britain is proverbial 1t would
then appear that patriotism and wealth, In
both of which Prussia and England abound
ed, are not the only, nor even the chief
factors of competence to subscribe to war
loans What is important Is that the ma
tion's sources of income should be beyond
the reach of immediate disturbance. TO
show how little Japan's agricultural capac-
ity is affected today, 1 may mention that
the barley crop for this season Is expected
to be 20 or 80 per cent above the average,
and that the rice crop of last year was II
| per cent above 1t.
II believe that IL the spirit of effective
economy be encouraged the country's in
come will yield a large margin, and thus
| even though the war continue into 1906
| there will be no lack of funds to carry 1t
| on, nor would the people seriously feel a
! further addition of eighty to one hundred
| million yen of taxation. There is room to
| augment the land tax There is room to
| impose new taxes. You often hear me dis
