Diversified Farming Growing.
Lancaster Examiner.

Live stock, the raising of root crops, corn,
timothy, clover, poultry and dairying are
gradually supplanting wheat growing in Min
nesota and the Dakotas. While the aggregate
yield in that section will be about the same as
in 1905, the crop will be worth about ten
cents per bushel less, and the farmers are there
fore short this amount of wheat. The bulk of
the acreage under wheat cultivation is land in
the far western portion of the Dakotas. The
older farmers are gradually dropping wheat
after finding that there is more profit in
other crops.
Of the 200, OOO,O 900 bushels of wheat which
will constitute the total crop in the Dakotas
and Minnesota this year, 3S,00O,0O0 to 10000
600 bushels are durm, or macaroni wheat,
against 16 900 600 bushels of that grain grown
year ago. Experience has taught the older
farmers that there is little prcfitin yhaat ct 20
cents bushel when they can raise only fifteen
bushels per acre. This yields IS net per acre
after all expenses are paid. while potatoes at
only 10 cents a bushel will net ten times that
amount. Besides, the farmers do not have to
invest in the expensive machinery required to
harvest wheat crop, nor do they have to take
the chances of destruction by hot winds or
storms. Diversified farming is slowly, but
surely, driving out the exclusive wheat-grower
in the Northwest Large crops Of oats, barley
and fax were raised in the Dakotas and Min
nesota this year. and they will yield the pro-
ducer more profit that wheat.

done by introducing into our rural schools the
study Of agriculture; and, secondly, the hours
of labor should conform to that of the me-
chanic, with the proper remuneration attached.
But more anon on this subject. B.

Heights at Which Birds Fly.

A singular methed of determining the height
at which birds fly when they are migrating is
recorded in the Morning Post Two observers
watched the moons disk at night through
small telescopes placed some distance apart,
and from the different paths of the birds which
were seen, projected against the moon, from
the two stations, it was possible to compute
the height and direction of fight of each bird.
This method has been employed and further
developed this year by Joel Stebbins and e. A.
Rath, of the University of Illinois, and has
been used to estimate not only the height at
which the birds fly, but to find with much
greater accuracy than has been possible here
tofore the speed of their flight. The average
height at which migrating birds fly isnot more
than 1900 feet from the ground, but the speeds
at which they travel appear to be greater than
has of late years been believed to be the case.
The minimum speeds of the birds observed
varied from so miles to 100 miles an hour
1t should be said, however that the birds were
flying with the wind.
A KANSAS farmer has made some expert
ments with corn and discovers that grains from
the butt of the ear mature two weeks earlier
than grains from the tip of the ear. Grains
from the tip of the ear make long ears, and
grains from the butt of the ear make short ears.
If this is correct then Kansas should act like
most civilized and enlightened colonies-take
seed corn from the center of the ear. Who
ever heard anyhow of planting the defective
butt and tip grains
Mrs. PEcHIN, an aged resident of Philadel-
phia, has presented to the Washington Me-
mortal Chapel at Valley Forge lock OF hair

four years ago from James Hamilton, then "a
years of age. who had received it from his
father. Alexander Hamilton.

AWell Known Farmer Seriously Gored.
Mr.. William Rutledge, well known farmer,
who lives near Madonna, Hartford county. was
fiercely attacked and seriously injured by a
bull in one of his fields last Saturday. morning.
The only thing that saved him from being torn
that it had been dehorned. Mr.. Rutledge's
son and colored man heard his frantic cries
for help and went to his assistance with pitch;
forks, which they ran into the bull, but did
not succeed in making him desist from the
attack. The bull forced the two men to leave
the field then renewed the attack on the pros,
trate man. He tossed Mr.. Rutledge about 20
feet and he fell near fence. Young Mr.. Rut-
ledge and the colored man finally succeeded
in getting the injured man over the fence and
out of the reach of the bull. Mr.. Rutleoge
was carried to his home and DR.. Bradley, OF
Jarrettsville, was summoned. It was found
that he had been horribly injured. A number
of his ribs are broken, his collarbone disocated,
and it is feared that he has sustained serious
internal injuries. His condition has since been
very serious.
