Germany's Old Age Pensions.

The 25th anniversary of the late
Prince Bismarck's announcement in
the reichstag that the emperor was
determined that the state should sys
tematically assist the working people
male or female, by accident, sick and
old age insurance, was commented on
widely Saturday in the German press
which approved or disapproved Of the
results according to the political opin.
ions of the commentators.
The socialists, following the policy
which they adopted when the laws
were passed, found fault with the In
surance as being inadequate and not
radical enough to really provide for
the Casualties in the industrial war
fare and the disabilities of those worn
out in the service Of capital" but the
whole body Of liberal and conservative
opinion appears to be convinced that
the laws are beneficial. During the
last 20 years $555.75O,0 900 has been
paid out for sickness; 1892, $50, 900 for
accidents and s13,5OO,00O for old age.

Dry Farming.


The Campbell system Of dry farm
lng' which was FIRST tried In the semi
arid portions Of North Dakota and
ABOUT which much has appeared In
newspapers and magazines within the
past year or two, Is doing great things
Tor many portions OF the Western
states, where with a rainfall of but
ten or twelve Inches per annum bumper
crops or corn, wheat, beets and other
crops can be grown. This system of
crop culture Is based on the conserva-
non or practically all of the moisture
IN the soil through a dust or surface
mulch, and under 1t as high as forty
bushels Of corn to the acre have been
grown In North Dakota, fifty bushels
OF wheat per acre In western Nebraska.
While better than twenty tons Of beets
nave been produced In Colorado. While
TINS method of crop culture has little
value in those portions of the country
where there Is an abundant rainfall. il
does have tremendous import in all
territory where there Is fertility In
the soil, but an annual rainfall of less
than twenty inches

Packing Apples,

In packing apples for market first as
sort them, so that they will run uni
form In size and quality. Pack In sound,
clean barrels-barrels with fat hoops
preferred. Turn the upper head down,
take out the lower head and place a
large sheet Of white paper next the
head, then pack the first layer OF apples
with the stem ends upon the head.
Pack the second tier, but reverse the
apples; then I'll the apples without
bruising the fruit Shake down thor
oughly and fill so full that the head
must be pressed In with lever or bar
rel press; then fasten the head. turn
the barrel over and mark plainly the
name Of the variety contained. Extra
care and labor in packing enhances the
value when selling.

which neither Pike nor anybody else

view of Reviews. Although lie was
well treated by the Spaniards, his cap
ture by them intensified the desire of
Americans, especially in the west, to
drive Spain out of Mexico. Written
In 1905 and published In 1910, his re-
port pointed out the wealth of Next

weakness of SPANS hold on that coun-

should have as much care as human
being to insure the best results, and
modern methods certainly tend in that
direction. The chicken coop shown here
Is good example. 1t is simple, eff
Gent and durable. AS shown here 1t is
rectangular in form, being made of
sheet metal. The top and sides are
bent to shape, with fanges at the bot
tom which connect with the flooring.
At each side are supports which hold
the coop slightly above the ground,
tending to keep the coop moisture
proof and preventing rain or other
water from entering. At each end are
perforated doors, which are very easi-
ly held In position. At the bottom Of
each door is An extension, through
which passes q rod, the latter extend
ing through the top Of the coop and
also into the ground, preventing the

what to do with the windfall apples
Is problem that gives the owner of
every large orchard considerable con-
Germ as the time for picking apples ap-
proaches. Where one Is provided with
an evaporation or Is so fixed that he
can convert this defective fruit into
vinegar, the problem Is comparatively
simple. But where neither method of
disposlng Of this product of the orchard
Is possible 1t is a question what Is the
best thing to do. An effective method
of disp0sing OF such apples and one
which gives certain return Is to turn
droves OF hogs or sheep into the or
ehard periodically and allow them DO
clean them up. This not only disposes
of the apples. but the worms as we'll,
as such apples are usually wormy. In
any ease 1t Is best to remove the wind
falls from beneath the trees, and II
they cannot be disposed of In any OF
the methods suggested It Is best to put
them on the pillow land with the manure
and turn them under.

Grow Feed on the Farm.

The Massachusetts State crop report
contains an article by Prof. +. S. Cooley
on Some Causes Affecting the Profits
of Dairying." On the subject OF feed
ing dairy cattle the professor urges
that feeds be produced on the farm as
far as possible. Usually the best prac-
tice Is to purchase only feeds rich In
protein and raise the coarse folders
on the farm. Cows fed on starvation
rations yield no profit, and those over
fed with expensive feeds are also kept
at loss. The point Of highest E,rofit
in feed must be determined by expert
ment and calculation, and varies with
the locality and circumstances OF the
feeder.

The farmer has real grievance
against the poultry fancier, In that he
has done all OF his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
teal utility, says Farming, whether the
hens from which he has been breeding
were producing sixty eggs year or
200 made no difference. His whole
aim has been to breed out foul flight
feather or two, or to create a better
comb, or eyes Of n better tint at
sacrifice of everything else The result
Is that when farmer goes into the
market TO buy thoroughbreds with his
money In his pocket ready and willing
TO pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually pays
premium for something that
has been obtained at sacrifice

Hay Fever.-The disorder known as

eyes and tear glands rather than the

tribute the trouble to hay. others to the
pollen of certain howers-notably the
golden rod-a third group to trlcksy
nerves and a fourth to emanations from
mice, rabbits or other animals. Owing
to the wide diversity of opinion about
the cause, there Ia no uniformity In the
methods Of treatment. Here are n few
Of the remedies: Local bleeding, aperi-
enS, qulnine, tonics, iron, opium, mer-
curry, digitalls, cocaine, menthol, am

cial treatment for conjunctivitis, rhin-
tits and bronchitis. 1t Is doubtful. how
