A granger taking whirl on the
board Of trade stands about the same
chance Of winning out that the fellow
does who bucks the wheel of fortune
at the county fair, the prospect being
good in either case that the one who
INDUCES will get skinned. The first
institution is maintained for the pur-
pose of picking the lambs, the second
for taking IN the suckers, neither be-
ing operated for benevolent purposes.
There are nine chances to one that If
a fellow makes good on corn deal
he will get caught short on pork. Rails
ing hogs for market is therefore a bet
ter proposition all around than specu-
lating with the carcass or byproducts
on change.

On many of the large wheat farms
of the northwest steam and gasoline
traction engines have almost entirely
replaced the horse in blowing, harvest
ing and thrashing operations. Engines
of the latter type, because they make
possible a dispensing with water and
fuel wagons, are particularly adapted
to conditions prevailing in the territory
referred to.

A NEW INTEREST IN PEAT.

With a rapid stripping Of the great
forest areas of the north and west to
supply the enormous lumber trade OF
the country and a somewhat slower
yet just as sure consumption Of the
hard wood and coal supplies of the cen
trail and western states for use as fuel.
attention Is now being directed to the
vast yet untouched deposits OF peat to
be found in the north central states.
According to the state geological sur
vey, northern Iowa and southern Min
nesota alone contain in the neighbor-
hood Of 25,000,OOO tons Of peat, much
Of it due to drier seasons and drainage
systems, being in a partially dry condi-
ton. The deposit Of peat, which is
nothing but the accumulation of the
decayed vegetable matter Of genera
tons past, covers hundreds OF acres
and varies from four to ten feet In
thickness. Plans are already on foot
for the establishment Of plants which
will press and dry the peat and put it
on the market Those who have tes ted
the fuel qualities of peat state that it
is superior to the best hard wood and
Is surpassed by coal only in the respect
that it contains somewhat more car
bon. Peat is far superior to coal in
that 1t contains no sulphur, makes lit
tie smoke and no SCOT or clinkers. It
makes fine white ash, giving fire
that is very hot or mild, as occasion re
quires. Provided it can be put in con-
venient shape and placed on the mar
ket at a reasonable price, which seems
entirely likely, the demand for this
new fuel is bound to be enormous.

The largest authenticated yield of
corn SO far as has come under our no
tice is that reported by central Iowa
farmer who last year raised LAT bush
els on one acre Of ground. In addition
to manuring the land heavily, he put it
in the best Of filth before planting. He
used a planter which placed the rows
three feet and eight inches apart and a
drill which planted the kernels six
inches apart In the row. After he had
gone over the field in the ordinary way
he went over it again, straddling the
rows. This made the rows twenty-five
inches apart. Aside from the harrow
ing which was given the field before
the corn came up the only tool used
was a single horse two shovel culti-
vator The crop YVES laid by juno Is.
When he husked the crop he surprised
himself as well as his neighbors The
extraordinary yield obtained was the
result Of planting the very best and
thoroughly tested seed, rich and fore
ing soil and careful cultivation. There
is reason to believe that this yield
could only be got from the richest and
best SOIL as the chances are three to
one that less fertile soil, planted With
just as good seed and given exactly
the same tillage would not have pro
duced nubbins enough to pay for 60
ing over the field.

GovEsNMENT MEAT INSPECTION.

GOVERNMENT MEAT INSPECTION.
There has not been an agitation af-
fecting agricultural interests in years
that comes home to the farmer more
closely than that involved in the
discussion Of a government inspec-
ton Of the animals and meat handled
by the packing plants Of the country.
While the least possible agitation Of
the matter and superficial and slip
shod disposition Of the same would
seem at first thought to be favorable
to the business interests involved. yet
in the long run and from the broad
point Of view that settlement of the
matter can only prove Of lasting bene-
fit which is complete, exhaustive and
goes to the bottom Of things this being
particularly true because the public
mind Is just as much in need Of def
mite assurance Of the purity Of its food
supplies as Its physical appetite is in
need Of satisfaction.

1t does not serve to lessen the regret
a whit that the little one in the home
is bitten by the pet family dog rather
than by the tramp cur that happens to
stroll past the place. Recently there
have come to our notice two cases of
this kind. In the one little two-year-
old was killed outright by pet bull
dog that had been angered by boys
In the neighborhood, its jaws having
to be pried open before the grip of the
animals teeth could be freed from
the little ones throat In the second
instance q large Dane attacked a little
child Of about the same age, a son Of
the owner, and nearly killed him be-
fore it was dubbed off. There may be
cases where watchdog is a necessity,
but they are getting scarcer every day.
Since it is the back Of a dog that is
the important thing, a pug or terrier
will answer this purpose in most cases,
and should they attack the children In
the home they would not mangle them
quite so badly.

to the bloody assassination at Abing-
don, Va, last night of Mrs. William
Garrett, divorced woman whose head
was partially blown off by two loads
of shot from double barreled shot
gun, came today when John Hawkins,
a near neighbor of the dead womna.
committed suicide after learning that
he was under suspicion Hawkins
was 80 years old and is survived by
his wife and three small children. His
reputation had been excellent and he
had never before been under suspi-
cion of wrong doing. Hawkins name
became connected with the case today
by the discovery of letter which he
had written to Mrs Garrett and which
is now in the possession of Common-
wealth Attorney Campbell. This let.
ter, it is said, threatened Mrs. Gar.
rett with death.
