A Strange Thundcrstorrn.

IT was a strange thunderstorm that
struck Suffolk, England, Aug. 4. 1911.
According to Holinshed, the tempest
of lightning came through the wall of
Bliborough church and went yard into
the ground. knocking over twenty peo-
pie and killing two. Then it came up
again, mounted the steeple by way OF
the vestry door, broke the bells and
darted off to Bungay, six miles dis
tant There, according to another
chronicler, it became a fiery black
dog, which dashed between two people
kneeling i'll church and broke their
necks and clawed another man on the
back so that he was presently drawn
together and shrunk up, as it were, a
piece of leather scorched in hot fire. y
Claw marks remained on the door to
prove the reality Of the black dog.

Enthusiastically of next weeks river con

come candidate for the convention n
year hence, pleased him greatly. 1t
> would give him delight, he said, to
do what he could for Rock Island, not
only because of it's splendid location
for a gathering of river men. but on
account of his love and fOndness for
it as the city of his birth and early
manhood
should Have Concerted Action.
With the convention but a week
away, it would seem proper that the
various delegations which will repre-
sent Rock Island in the convention be
called together by the mayor and
plan of concerted action adopted.
Moline and Davenport will both send
representative delegations of a dozen

Fall Shelter.

A man sat by the newly built fire
one cold, rainy day in November and
fairly beamed with comfort as the
warmth enveloped him. Outside the
rain was turned into frozen sleet as it
came in sheets at intervals all day. He
felt it was good to be able to have the
fire and the time to sit by it. His wife
remarked, II should think you would
put in the cows" "Well, must" was
the reply. II am very comfortable,
and I hate to start" Some hours later
he happened to think Of them, but it
was pouring, and he waited till it stop
ped before going out. The cows were
drenched to the skin and stood in any
corner which offered protection. They
had suffered cruelty, and the man was
truly sorry. In the morning his milk
can was only half as full as usual, and
his receipts were too small to mention
One Of his best cows still continued to
tremble and refused to eat. After a
month of trouble she ceased to give
milk. One Of his heifer calves, which
he had reared with considerable care,
caught a hard cold, and he sold her for
almost nothing. Two hundred dollars
at the least calculation was the price
he paid for that bit Of carelessness.
This was a pocket sorrow" end he
will not forget it.-Ohio Farmer.

THE PRACTICAL MAN.
In Some Cases He Must Possess Scien-
tific Attachments.

In Some Cases He Must Possess Sc1en-
tific Attachments.
Following the resignation Of DR..
Salmon, who was for twenty years
head Of the bureau of animal industry,
there have been various expressions Of
opinion in the press as to who and
what his successor should be, and the
call has been largely for a practical
stock man." Farm and Ranch, which
devotes much attention to live stock
matters, comments upon this view as
follows:
We have no inkling of just whom
the papers raising this demand have in
view, but in our judgment Secretary
Wilson will select a competent man
for this position and one in whom the
meat trade Of this country and of the
world will have confidence-a man
who knows.
The practical man in this case is one
having scientific training in micro
scopy, anatomy, physiology and sani-
tary science. A man unfamiliar with
these highly important branches Of
science would be as mere notch on
a stick" when planning and operating
the vast work which Dr. Salmon has
built up and advanced beyond that Of
any similar institution in the worlds
history. Probably 90 per cent Of the
money expended, the men employed
and the publications issued by this bu-
reau are and must remain substantial
ly scientific.
Meat inspection service and the
maintenance of the quarantine are
highly practical matters, but this en-
tire administration depends completely
on the information and observations
of scientists. 70 place at the head Of
this great work, now so close to the
pockets of our stock men, an illiterate,
an unscientific chief means short shrift
for the incompetent who might be per-
suaded to accept the position; but,
worse than this, it would result in the
reputation Of the bureau in this coun-
try and in every foreign country now
receiving American shipments Of meat
and live stock.

TILE DRAINAGE.
Autumn or Spring WOrk-The Advnn-
tages of the Former.

Autumn or Spring Work-The Advnn-
tages of the Former.
Conditions have a great deal to do in
enabling one to solve the problem Of
tile drainage. Where the fall is not
great it frequently happens that gumbo
land is too wet to tile out in the spring.
and because of this such land can
usually be drained to much better adj
vantage during the summer or fall
months. On the other hand, there are
soils that are just little too dry in
the fall, not furnishing enough water
to guide the workman in regulating
the fall, so that in this case spring
thing might be done more satisfac-
torily than it could be done in the fall.
However, when it comes right down to
scientific thing there is little need Of
having water in the soil for the pur-
pose Of making the fall right, as it
usually pays where land Is nearly
level to put on an instrument and dig
drains according to rule. We appre-
ciate the fact that this is contrary to
the notions held by many persons who
have had experience in digging bitches,
but nevertheless it complies exactly
with the view Of all engineers.
A Good Thing That Lasts.
It so happens that we are putting
a few carloads of tile on our own farm
this fall-October and November. Some
of the drains will have to be put on
land that has always been little wet
for farming purposes, and as soon as
the drains are down this fall the pillow
will be put in and the land partly pre-
pared for spring crop. We find that
there is a little more time to do this
kind of work in the fall than there is
in the spring, and where land is very
soggy it quickly dries out sufficiently,
if it is properly tiled, SO that it may
be pIowed in the fall, thus again lessen
ing labor in the spring. If one can
obtain the use of his drains for
month or two in the fall the tendency
is to make the soil just little more
porous, and as a result of this the
drains will act somewhat more freely
in the spring than if they were newly
put down. Unlike almost everything
else on the farm, good tile drain be-
comes more useful with age, and the
sooner it is in the sooner will the own
er of such land be benefited, not only
nv IFS Immediate action but bV the
increased value that comes from it's
effect in making soil more porous

SPY APPLES.

THESE handsome Spy apples were shown
at the American institute fair last win

grown in Duchess county, N. VI
ity of apples is for the most part none
too promising, this suggesting a fur
Their shrinkage in the available ton
mage of winter fruit to go into storage
and for the markets Of the weeks to
come
Michigan, the foremost factor among
the western commercial apple produc-
ing states, presents lamentable re-
port. Some authorities we'll posted
with regard to the general crop Of the
state claim the output Of winter ap-
piles will not exceed 20 per cent of an
average. A large proportion of the
best winter fruit in Michigan has been
contracted at range Of So to So per
barrel, free on board, for No. fruit.
In some sections growers have sold
mixed ones and twos at $3.50 to $3.50.
There appears to be little complaint
Of the color of 1905 apples in the east,
but the size and quality are not wholly
desirable. Prices cover a wide range,
according to the method of selling.
Strictly fancy No. l apples have
brought So to $3.50 per barrel for
fruit on the trees Free on board
sales range from So to 1925 and in
some instances very choice apples at
still better prices. Where buyers take
fruit as 1t comes from the trees, ire
spective Of grade, prices show a range
of $125 to So per barrel.
The export movement during the
coming winter should prove liberal,
provided the shortage in our home
crop is not so great as to force prices
beyond an exportable basis.
