Judkins Followed Directions.

William Allen White, the Kansas Cd.
itor, tells In Harper's Weekly tale
OF the trials of young reporter. His
editor had given him instruction in the
first principles Of making a newspaper
story: Tell In the first few lines what
your story Is about. Give the substance
at once. Then follow with a recital Of
the facts. and conclude with interviews
with the people concerned. That Is the
only orderly way Of writing your story"
The new man gave close attention to
this lesson. the result Of which was that
he handed In that night a news item
which read as follows:
Rufus Jenkins, carpenter, slipped
and fell in Vine street yesterday. and
sprained bis ankle badly.
"Mr. Jenkins was walking along Vine
street, when suddenly his feet slipped
from under him and he fell. spraining
one of his ankles.
"When seen by reporter he said,
4 was walking along Vine street. when
in some way my feet slipped from I'M
der me, and l fell heavily to the side
walk. spraining one of my ankles
"Mr. Frank Fuller said, I was walk
ing behind Mr.. jenkins on Vine street,
when l saw him slip and fall to the
sidewalk. When l assisted him to arise
he told me that he had sprained one Of
his ankles
"Dr. Thomas Rich, who attended Mr..
jenkins, said. Mr.. jenkins had badly
sprained ankle, due to a fall In Vine
street He will be laid up for some
time
''Mr. jenkins could not attend last
nights meeting Of the carpenters union.
The president, in converting the meet
ing. expressed regret that Mr.. jenkins
could not attend. as he had slipped and
fallen in Vine street, spraining one Of
his ankles"

Speaks No Idle Words.,

Colonel William Youngblood of Ala.
bama, former auditor in the treasury
department and prominent republi-
can, in an interview at the national
capital, declared that great danger
is ahead of the nation, because of the
race question.
Senator Tillman speaks no idle
words" he says. "A great danger is
ahead of us. It is strange that gov
eminent which runs of to civilize
the Filipinos, to relieve the oppressed
Cuban, and which is so powerful as to
bring peace between Russia and Jap
an, is too powerless or SO Indifferent
to the protection of the life, liberty
and property of its own subjects. The
only remedy, Of the race issue is the
election of a nonsectional, non-racial
man to the PRESIDENCY"

Consumers Of fruits and vegsfaosss
IN large cities are charged high prices
BY the hucksters and grocers. In chi
cago peaches are selling retail for th1r-
ty-five or forty cents for a small basket
containing about twenty to twenty live
peaches; other fruits and vegetables IN
proportion. 1t would be interesting TO
farmers to know just bow much OF this
IS booked as profits. FARMERS get no
such prices; In fact they are lucky II
they get one-third Of the prices now
prevailing in Chicago. Either some
class Of handlers Is making exO-bitant
profits or there Is an unnecessary ex-
pense attached to the business OF dis
tribution. 1t costs money to handle
produce. 1t requires storage. horses
and men, and none of these things are
cheap in the city, but there Is no good
reason why the consumer should pay
three hundred per cent profit on what

The RObber Cow.

Two cows cost $40 each a year for
keep. One of them yields 1000 quarts
OF milk a year. that bring $50. The
other yields 1900 quarts. that bring
$26. The latter loses about $14 and
reduces the gain on the former from
$40 to $50. why do you keep that 1900
quart COW? You would be better of with
the one that clears $40. for you would
have only half the investment, half the
work and half the feeding. and you
would gain $14 each year.
There would be no surplus butter on
the market for years to come and
prices would rule strong II all the
cows were eliminated which are kept
at loss. Dairy farmers have not yet
half walked up to an understanding Of
the great practical importance Of weed
ing out the improbable cows from their
herds. Many q man would make fair
profit. that now faces constant loss, II
he would keep only such cows as pay
a profit on their keep.

A Splendid Wheat Crop.

The annual crop and business report
Of the Commercial National Bank OF
Chicago, covering the Mississippi Val
ley, and a few of the more important
States of the Pacific coast, says, In
part:
THE wheat crop Of 1906 will be
among the largest and best ever pro-
duced. The yield not only will b0
great, but the weight and quality will
be far beyond the ordinary. In these
respects it may be considered nearly
perfect. The period of uncertainty IL
closing rapidly and the crop may now
be called practically out Of danger.
The yield of soft winter wheat Is large,
quality the finest and movement free.
Inasmuch as this movement has begun
early and all grains are now nearly or
quite on an export basis with the ten
dency Of prices downward), a large ex-
port business may be expected"

Water Needed By Corn.

Much interest has lately been mani
tested in determining the exact amount
Of water required for the growth Of
plants. This is Just as important in
the east as in the irrigated region, for
we often have droughts which made
necessary the most careful cultivation
to prevent plants from suffering. Pro-
fessor Clothier has found that after
corn becomes two feet high each stalk
uses up three pounds Of water a day
until the ears mature. This is equiva-
lent to an inch Of rain a week. In
regions where the average rainfall Is
lower. and where a good, milky quality
of sweet corn Is desired in the garden
during August and September, it is OBJ
viously necessary to have the soil in
the most perfect state of cultivation 30
as to retain as much moisture as Is
needed.
