1t may be surprising to those who
have not followed the movements Of
the temperance crusade, to know that
Governor Beckhsm Of Kentucky, was
nominated over present u. s. Senator
McCreery for a seat in the upper house
Of our national legislature, because OF
his firm stand in favor Of local option
and the Sunday closing of saloons in
Louisville.
We have SO associated in our minds
the Kentucky 'sColonel" and the
mint julip to say nothing of the strong
er brands Of that state famous for its
beautiful women and it's hospitality,
that to imagine Kentucky as pro-
hibition state seems pipe dream. Yet
it is true. The state of Henry Waiter

qualities Is being put out by the shops

are made of strips of insertion, and

the lace shortened enough to make
little square neck opening. She lined
the lace with chiffon and chiffon

Clean Up the Farm.

This is a good time of the year to
clear up any parts of the farm which
may have grown up to brush or Sec
ond-growth stuff. We have been work
ing for number of years on such a
piece of land on the back end of our
farm. This once had been all cut off
clean and a piece of wheat grown
there. But after that 1t had been per.
mitted to grow up to small saplings,
some of them five or six inches in
diameter. Along in the fall we went
at 1t, when other work did not press
and cut strip OF this timber off. The
largest saplings were trimmed up for
wood, the brush piled neatly and burn.

and the land left ready for pasture.
We cut the brush off close to the
earth, and have now the satisfaction
Of knowing that when chopped at this
season of the year, little II any
sprouts will come up to trouble US.

where we cut the brush off, and to-
day we have n number of acres of
splendid pasture, where a little while

Wealth In Corr Land.

Wcdtn IN NoTr Lanu.
Owners Of good corn land are find.
ing themselves well off on account OF
the great productiveness OF such land
and the high price at which corn sells
and is likely to sell. A good farmer
can grow fifty and more bushels of
corn on an acre Of land. A very good
farmer can grow 70 or so bushels per
acre. Some OF whom make even bet
ter records than this when the sea-
son is favorable. The average crop
OF state Is. no criterion by which
to Judge the performances of our most
intelligent farmers. The average
crop of the United States, taking one
year with another, is in the neighbor-
hood OF 25 bushels, though 1t varies
enormously, running down some years
to about 16 bushels and at other times
going up to about 2S bushels. The
average yield of corn in the state of
Illinois, which lies mostly in the corn
belt, Is all the way from 81 bushels
up to 40 bushels according to the
year. 1t must be kept in mind that
this average gives no hint as to what
our reading, studying farmers are ac-
complishing. When a man raises an
| acre of corn and gets fifty bushels
| and Is able to sell 1t for $25 he has
made a big profit on his operations.
That acre Of corn has not cost more
than $13, and the s13 has paid him his
wages. The $12 is profit. II the acre
Is worth 800. his profit is about IL
| per cent in addition to legal interest.
for In the expense of $13 was in
cluded interest on his land, or rent IL
the farm is a rented one.
| Now for the point of this article,
which is that the temptation is very
great, at this time OF high prices for
corn, to make the land produce big
crops of corn and give 1t no food eth.
er by direct application of fertilizers
or by process OF rotation. The far
mer says: What, put that land into
clover for two years, while corn is
bringing so cents bushel!" Yet that
Is what must be done on many of our
farms II the fertility is to be kept up.
The larger the crop of corn being ta-
| ken off, the greater the amount Of
| phosphorus that is every year being
| drawn from the soil and exported.
The loss of nitrogen and potassium is
considerable, but the losses Of these
elements are not so great or serious
as the loss Of phosphorus.
The farmer that is getting a big
| profit off his corn land should care
fully conserve that land by giving 1t q
rest from corn growing during certain
years and putting some of his profits
into phosphorus and other elements
II needed. The clover will get the
nitrogen from the air. Potassium is
cheap, even when the farmer has to
buy 1t In commercial FORM.
The heritage in good corn land
should be saved for the coming gen.
erations. No man has right to de-.
stroy this heritage. 1t is only his for
use, not for destruction. 1t is the
greatest patrimony that can be left to
| the children.

To Be in STYLE Wear Velvet,

Velvets, which until a few short
years ago were considered the mate
rial OF kings and queens, have come
to be very generally WIN not only by
people of wealth but by those of mod
est purse as well. The chiffon velvets
are the direct result of the manufac-
turers' efforts to get the pliable quail.
ty of the cotton fabrics in their silk
weaves.
Velveteens OF to-day are as pretty
and as lustrous as their silken rela-
tives. and this season are brought out
with the added virtue of being fast in
color. thus assuring the wearer that
her light-colored dainty blouse or del
icately tinted gloves will not be

note of incongruity and to mark the
