pACHSHUNDS.
As Fighters of Badgers They Have No
 Canine Equals.

Canine Equals.
 The good natured, philosophic Ger man dachshund has always been re. garded as more or less of joke in this country. Even in the fatherland he is staple for testing. His elongat. ed body, his crooked legs, his animated tail, his resemblance to a sausage who could fail to make some sort of joke about a dachshund?
 But the dachshund has a very seri. ous side and a work in life.
 "Dachshund" means badger dog"
 Now, the badger is an animal that, generally speaking, needs neither game laws nor sympathy, because he is able to take care of himself and fight his own battles. Naturalists place him az a link between the bear family and the weasels. He has about all the strenuous characteristics of both. with some of his own in addition.
 Badger batting was formerly a bar. barouS rustic sport that drew trade to country inns and taverns. A badger was placed in a barrel, and the man whose dog could bring him out got a prize. A single dog seldom did it. A full pack might-sometimes The badger is a tremendous burrower and the jolly dachshund of the jokes has been trained for centuries in Germany to go into his burrows like ferret aft CT rats and drive the badger out or fight him. In some German and Aus trian cities there were formerly badger batting journeys in which crack dachs hunds entered a pit with an able bodied badger and fought for points 1t is said that such contests are still held ill Vienna. For spirit, endurance and agility the dachshund has no peer in this work, and a bulldog pitted against a badger would probably find himself cutting poor figure
 So, make the jokes about the dachs hund if youS will. but give him credit for his prowess and for that gentle ness, characteristic also of the best bulldogs, that makes both an affec- donate companion to man and a loyal playmate to children. Give the dachs- hund credit, too, for intelligence. He has 1t in large degree. Few dogs are keerer-New York Press

COIN CURIOSITlES.
A Great Variety of Materials Has
 Been Used For Money.


 Among the early Roman copper coins was one that weighed nine and one half ounces and must have proved in convenient small change for the Ro- man matron when she went shop ping. China of all countries, ancient and modern, exhibits the greatest yari ety in the matter of coins The earli- est money on record. about 200O B. C., consisted of shells and cOWries. The cOwry was used for small change, while tortoise shell and purple cypraea shells, the latter ranging in size from a few inches to a foot and half in length, represented money of higher value: A decrease ill the supply of shells and increasing prosperity called for a more handy medium of exchange and cash, the coin with square hole in the center, came into existence and remains in use to this day.
 Among the earlier Chinese coins was one of porcelain about three quarters of an inch in diameter and quarter of an inch thick, bearing the legend Eternal Prosperity" A very curious knife money was at one time used in the state of Tsi. It was of copper shaped like a bill hook, about seven inches long and fitted at the end with a ring. During periods of metal scar city in China iron, lead, tin, baked earth, grain, silk and shells have been used as a circulating medium.
 In Japan an iron coinage, begun about 1636, has existed up to the pres ent day. A curious coin made of & mixture of silver and copper was long in use in Japan. It varied in size from & small pea to large bean. Lead coins were also used there for five cen turies. Glass was employed as sub stance for coin for many centuries in Egypt, while wooden money is men, toned in many of the Buddhistic writ ings.

CORN GROWING
How to Raise indian Corn in Imperial
 Valley

corn like. we used to have back East" is coming to be quite business with the Imperial Valley farmers, many of them preferring it to Kaifir or Egyptian corn. For the purpose of learning what we might in regard to its culture from the farmers who have grown it in order that we might tell others who wish to grow t we have enquired of number of our farmers who have had experience in the matter and herewith present a concensus of the advice giv- en. This corn should be planted as early as July lst to get best results, but can be planted as late as August 18th and still make good crop.
 MrJ. V. Taggart. of Holtville, who raised a fine field of l2 acres on his farm in Number Seven last year. and who had large experience with the same crop in the Yuma Valley before coming here. says the ground should be plowed if possible and thoroughly ir- rgated. Then as soon as possible harrow the ground and plant the corn in the moist earth. After this let it stand as long as 1t will without suffer ing for water. If the corn is planted in this way about the first of July it is his opinion that it will go till August st before 1t Is In need of water. This makes the young corn strike its roots deep into the ground and enables if to the better hold up the immense ears it will produce Alter August lst it is Mir. Taggart's programme to push the corn as fast as possible. Give It plen- ty of water and run a cuItivator through the rows after each irrigation. If it is treated In thls manner Mir. Taggart has no doubt that from Ito 50 bushels per acre will be produced. His exper- fence last year was under very unfav- orable conditions. He did not get his corn planted till August and did not get 1t cultivated at all but raised it with water alone and his crop turned out g bushels per acre.
 He Is unqualified in his belief that field corn is far and away,sr superior to Kaffir corn or Egyptian corn both for feed and for yield and then it leaves the ground In so much better shape.
 In conversation with Mir. D. w. Wickersham. who lives in the Upper Gila Valley Tn Arizona. he said sum- mer field corn was quite an important crop in that country. It is generally planted on wheat or barley stubble as soon as possible after harvest. Some plant fl in rows three feet apart with hills two feet apart In the rows and cul- tivate It between irrigations. Others SOW 1t rather broadcast and raise it
 
 with water. The men who plant in rows and cultivate get by far the larg- est crops but the others raise their corn with less labor. Some of them blow the land before planting the corn. others don't MT. Taggart says that for best results in this Valley the corn should be planted In rows l-2 feet apart and two feet apart in the EErows with not more than three stalks to hill. Planted in this way and gotten up by the 10th of July he is confident it will make so bushels per acre it it is irrigated and cultivated properly after that time.

Husbands Best Points.

A happily married woman writing to
one of the household magazines says
that the qualities she most admires
in her husband are these, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin: "A readiness to
be pleased is one of his traits which
brings much quiet happiness into our
married life, In the management of
the home he trusts me entirely. and,
though he may suggest, he never die
tatas. He is seldom too busy or tired
to listen interestedly to all may have
to tell him. Though he tells me his
business veXations, he does not make
me suffer on account of them. and
is always ready to do the helpful lit
tie things that mean so much to a
woman. In money matters he takes
me into his full confidence and part
2ership."

rILLER OF THE SOIL HoNoRED.
Farmer Has Respect and Admiration
of All.

Within the last dozen years a won
derful change has come over the bust
ness of farming in this country. The
approbrium that once attached to the
occupation of filling the soil has CIV
en- way to a genuine respect and ad-
miration for the farmers, who to-day
live better in every way than a ma.
jority of those who claim the sordid,
gruelling cities as their homes. Most
of the farmers nowadays have unmort.
gagged dwellings on profitable acres.
Their sons and daughters go to col
leges and technical schools, where
they learn how to return to the farms
and get more out OF the soil than their
fathers we're able to do The cities
do not offer the attraction to these
young people they once held, 1t is
hard to understand why more of the
complainers and those who say they
can not earn enough to keep them
selves and their families in the cities
do not go to the agricultural com.
munlties, where they are sure of an
abundance of food and good shelter.
