English Consumption Of Meat.

Last year there were 43878o tons OF
beef, mutton and lamb imported into the
United Kingdom, being an increase OF
about 5000 tons, as compared with
1904. There were big increases In Ar

Argentine mutton, and in Australian
lamb. The Argentine meat COM

This twentieth century ghost story
is told by tho London Chronicle: "A
ghost Of bellicose tendencies is troub-
ling the peace of mind Of the occu'
pants Of an old-fashioned inn in VII
lage near Pontypool. According to the
narrative Of the proprietor, uncanny
noises have been heard almost nightly
for some weeks. A few nights ago the
landlords son, after he had retired for
the night, heard a click, as though
some one had pulled the trigger Of
pistol. This was followed by a groan'
ing noise and the slamming Of door.
"He conducted search through the
house, but could find nothing unusual.
A day or two later a customer put up
at the inn for the night. Soon after
he had retired he aroused the land
lord in alarm and complained that
while in bed he was struck on the face
two or three times by some mysterious
figure. He struck light, but, to his
surprise, found himself alone in the
room. There were marks on his cheek
where he had been struck.
Nor could the proprietor throw light
on the occurrence. He told Of a fur.

The following article taken from
a recent issue of the Fairmont In

to the situation at Worthington and

up that subject and giveit tho
rough investigation -
The Independent says: A city
business man who was in town last
week made the remark that Fair

rich agricultural country; it's lakes
were very valuable as an attraction;
and it's railroads facilities could not
we'll be bettered. with all this"
he stated, ''you have got to have
some manufacturing plants in order
to continue to grow and develop. I"
When told that efforts had been
made in that direction and what
had been expected, he replied. ''You
expect too much. Start in small,
get some small. factories. Que will
help bring another, and tie large will
follow in dus course of time, but
when you expect to get the big ones
first you never. will get any"
A few thousand dollars invested or

ture of the Houseman packing house,
creamery. foundry, cement works,
etc., would help materially. Those
institutions are being made to pay.
Now let others follow. A boot or
shoe, glove factory or others of simi-
lar character that don't require too
much capital to start with and grad.
ually work up would mean employ:
ment to more men, resulting in more
residents here. $780,. J.:
That again would make demand
for more stores, which in turn would
give more employment and result in
more trade in the country. When
the court house, the sewers and grad
ing Of streets are completed, there
will be many without employment.

Dry FARMING.


The Campbell system of dry farm
ing, 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
for many portions of the western
states, where with a rainfall of but
ten or twelve inches per annum bump
er crops of corn, wheat, beats and 9TH
er crops can be grown. This system Of
crop culture is based on the conserva-
ton Of practically all Of the moisture
in the soil through a dust or surface
mulch, and under it as high as forty
bushels OF corn to the acre have been
grown il North Dakota, fifty bushels
of wheat per acre in western Nebras-
ka, while better than twenty tons Of
beets have been produced in Colorado.
While this method of crop culture has
little value in those portions of the
country where there is an abundant
rainfall, it does have a tremendous
import in all territory where there is
fertility in the soil, but an annual rain
fall Of less than twenty inches.

SAVING THE c. gT.g-T-37gR


While the selling price OF nay has
IN the past as 4 rule, largely de-
termined the value of corn fodder. the
lime Is at hand when, regardless Of the
price Of hay such a system Of handling
the corn crop should be adopted as will
put an end to the enormous waste
which is annually witnessed i4l practi-
cally all Of the corn belt west Of the
Mississippi river. a more careful and
sensible handling Of the stalk and
leaves Of this important cereal plant
will mean the addition of many acres to
the farm area. The hitherto wasteful
methods which have prevailed in this
respect have without doubt been due
TO the existence Of large farms, rela-
lively csaap land and that system Of
handling the crops which marketed the
products Of the soil in the shape Of
the grain itself rather than in the
more condensed form of butter, pork
and beef. However, with land values
steadily increasing and more and more
time being devoted to dairying and
stock raising, a condition has arisen
which practically compels more thrift
and care in the handling Of this most
important farm crop.

A CORN SUCKER TEsT.

Experiments conducted by the Ne
braska experiment station furnish in
teresting data relative to the tendency
Of corn to sucker. It was found that
where there was but onet stalk to the
hill there were fifteen suckers July y
in every 100 hills and 195 on Oct /
With three stalks in the hill there
were eighty-six on the former date out
Of the same number of hills and forty
five at the latter date With five stalks
there We're fifty-seven suckers at the
time Of first inspection and only three
out Of 100 hills In October Where the
Stand Of corn was light, it was found
that the yield was Increased seventeen
bushels per acre on suckers alone.

AIDS THE FARMER s.

AS showing still another service
which the department Of agriculture
has rendered to the business interests
of the country, we note in a recent bull
letin that, solely due to the introduction
of better methods of collecting turpen-
tine, there has been an increase of 40
per cent in the output, amounting to
S7000,000 while the long leaf pine for
ests of the southern states, from which
the American supply Of turpentine is
largely obtained, have at the same time
been saved from humiliation. The cost
to the department of the service rem
dered in this instance was $4,000.
This is one of many cases which go to
prove that Of all the money that is
being expended by the federal govern
ment in any of its departments there
is none which is fetching a larger re
turn on the investment than that dis
bursed by the department of agricul-
ture. For this reason pressure should
be brought to bear on our congressman
to make appropriations for this branch
Of the government work as generous as
possible

CANNING OF SWEET CORN.

A recent ride of a hundred miles
through the territory south Of where
the writer lives showed numerous
sweet corn canning factories just be-
ginning their annual campaign. Many
OF these canneries have a capacity Of
two or three million cans in a period
Of six weeks; hence one can imagine
that they are busy places when going
at full blast A factory of medium
capacity will take the product of be-
tween 600 and 800 acres. The corn is
snapped in the fields, which are not
usually over twenty acres in size, and
taken in as large loads as the team
can carry to the factory, where a force
of people is engaged in huslzing the
green ears and Kidding them of the
silks. In some of the factories even
the husking is done by machinery.
From this point on all the work pos
sible is done by machinery. The husks
are run through an elevator, the refuse
being carried of by the farmers fur
nishing the corn, who find it is eagerly
eaten by the farm animals and particu-
larly if there is a shortage Of other
green food.

VENTILATION or BARNS.

One of the great defects these days
in all large barns and many small ones
which are built is the lack of good
yentilating facilities. This is partly
due to ignorance and partly to indiffer-
ence and partly to lack of good plan
ming. This question is claiming the at
tention of some of the best architects
of the day. No matter how well a
barn may be equipped or how perfect
the sanitary conditions, it will not be
"a success until ventilation is under
proper control. Many of the largest
barns are built with the express pur-
pose of raising blooded stock, and the
prevalence Of tuberculosis among the
herds is thought in many cases to
originate from bad air.
