A load of hay loomed up In the road,

Presently Mayhem spoke again.

Past a few struggling houses they
whizzed at thirty miles an hour, and

MAYHEM made another great show of

large Gilt letters the words, "Basing's

Basing cried. as soon as he saw the
crowd. IF you could only manage to
pull up you might do me a great ser

MAYHEM nodded, and after another

contrived to bring the car that wouldn't
stop-of its own accord-to a stand as
close to the bank as the crowd would
permit.

Klass Kop, Pr, who lives at Den
Hoorn, island of Texal, Holland, over
which young Queen Wilhelmina reigns,
is going to get so in good American
money just as soon as the postal sery-
ice can carry it to him, says the New
York World. The World started it on
its way yesterday, at the request Of
August Zimmerman, proprietor of the
Northwestern Hotel, at Chambers and
West street, who thinks that Klass
Kop. Pr, has earned it.
mfr. Zimmerman dropped over the
side of the steamship Grosser Kurfurst,
while at sea bound east, July 81, a
bottle containing a request that the
finder notify him. On his return to
New York recently Mr. Zimmerman
found a letter from Mr.. Pr. The bot
tie had drifted more than 900 miles
from the track of transatlantic steam
ers TO Texal, which is small island at
the head OF the Zuyder Zee, and only
three or four miles from the mainland.
KIass Kop, Pr, picked it up thirty
eight days later. He mailed the let
ter on Aug. so. and ought TO get Mr..
Zimmermann's $40 within two weeks
If the mail facilities of Holland are
what they should be.

Wisconsin Corporations Pay Three
Times the Taxes People Do.

Wisconsin Corporations Pay Three
Times the Taxes People Do.
The people of Wisconsin paid into the
State treasury this year little over
100000 by general taxation and received
back as aid to the common, graded and
free high schools three times that amount.
The money to make this possible and also
to pay all the expenses of administering
the State government came from taxes
on railroads and other corporations.
whose public contributions have been
largely increased by this commonwealth
during the last few years. There has
been received from the Federal treasury
more than $1,000,000 like sum from the
railroads in increased taxes and an in
crease of some 100000 in license fees
from corporations which are required to
file articles of incorporation and reports
in the Office of the Secretary of State.
The result of this flow of money into the
State treasury was that there was really
no emergent necessity for any levy of
taxes upon general property at all, but
Governor Davidson opposed renting the
entire levy because he deemed it wise to
have a good supply of cash for the build
ing of the new capitol, which is already
under construction. State Superintendent
c. Z. Cary has announced the annual APP
portionment of the State school fund in
come consisting of more than $l,660,000
among the counties of the State in pro
portion to the number of school children
in each county. The rate of apportion-
ment was 81 1866 for each child. The

schools an annual fund of $4,000, also
an annual fund of 100000 to the free
high schools and several smaller funds
for county training schools for teachers
and manual training institutions.

Timothy or Clover.

After an experiment In fattening
horses the Illinois Experiment Station
says in effect about timothy hay for
horses that will be surprising to many
horsemen:
A feature of the experiment was the
demonstration of the worthlessness Of
timothy hay, something that horse flesh
ers will do well to keep in mind. Tim
othy is good to haul to town and sell
to the other fellow. Glover beats it all
around. In the experiment hcrses fed
on corn, oats and clover gained PIT
pounds each in ninety-two days. The
lot fed on the same ration except tim
othy was substituted for clover, the
gain was 142 pounds and the timothy
ration cost more than clover.
From this it is plain that timothy is
an Improbable raw material for farm
feeding operations. If you must grow
it, sell to the man in town. Corn, oats
and clover hay, with a little bran and
oil meal, constitute an ideal ration for
fattening horses.

Mr.. Basing, of Basing's old bank,
Stannithorpe, head Of the London

less thought he was justified, and, in
deed, he had never been overscrupulous.
So when his only daughter, in extricat-
ing a handkerchief from the ridiculous
little bag which served her as pocket,
unwittingly drew forth an important
letter. which, unperceived by her, tlut-
tered.to the carpet, he promptly placed
his foot upon K.

plied. You are always saying he can't

Mr.. Basing interrupted with snort.

The girl left the room without an

MIR. Basing smiled grimly and picked
nm the letter, which he had no scruple
about reading. II was written In a

Sast as steam will carry her is Mrs.
H.lttie Politz, going to meet her husband,
whom she has mourned as dead since the
San Francisco earthquake. Last summer
she brought the charred body of q man
all the way from California and buried
it in Riverside cemetery at Oshkosh in
the belief that it was her husband. A
few days ago she learned that her bus
band was living on her ranch in Califor-
MIA, believing her to have persisted in the
earthquake. She would not believe the
news until she had held long-distance
conversation from Shawano to Stockton,
Cal, with her husband. They related in
cidents in their married life known only
to themselves and the bond which each
thought had been severed BY death at the
San FRANCISCO horror was re-estab.ished.
Preparations were hastily made to leave
for Stockton. In the midst of the rejoic-
ing when the reunion takes place there
will be things of sadness to relate. One
of their children was killed. A child was
born since the earthquake, but it did not
survive. OF these things Mr.. Politz was
in ignorance. He had mourned his entire
family as dead The Politz family lived
in an apartment house in San Francisco
at the time of the earthquake.

When in the '70s Russian settlers In
western Kansas had introduced the So
called turkey hard winter wheat It
was found to be a good producer, but
there seemed to be no market for 1t.
Gradually the millers adapted their
machinery to its use and found 1t ex-
cellent. This experience is repeated in
the case of the more recently introduced
durum or macaroni wheat, which Is
better adapted to dry climate than
any other wheat yet introduced. Farm
ers have been anxious about the market,
but an investigation recently made by
Prof. w. II. DIN, agronomist of the
Colorado Agricultural College shows
that there need be no further misgiv-
ings about selling this wheat. Prof
Olin his replies from Kansas City,
Omaha, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago
and Minneapolis which show ready
markets in all these places for durum
wheat. The export demand Is strong.
but the time should soon come when
American manufacturers of macaroni
will purchase and use the American
product of this wheat at least to the
extent of supplying the American de-
mand for macaroni.-Kansas Farmer

Farming liz Changing as Great
Industry.

There is not in America any man
who is more familiar With agriculture
as a business than Professor L. III.
Bailey, who, for years has been at the
head of the Cornell Agricultural Col
lege. and has contributed much TO the
farmers sum of farm knowledge. Writ
ing in the Century, Professor Bailey
says:
The character of farming is chang
ing rapidly. 1t is coming more and
more to be an efficient profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there an exception, in the past we have
not given much consecutive thought to
the Misunderstanding like as much as
the merchant gives to his business or
the doctor to his. 1t has been so
"easy" a business that unframed men
couId succeed In 1t The change In
economic and social conditions is
breaking up the tradition Farming
is Incoming more difficult, and the old
methods must 90. In the future only
the well-infcrmed and eficient-thinking
man can succeed that is, only the edu-
Gated man.
The country Is TO offer other advan-
tages to the educated man than merely
to be a good farmer. There are good
opportunities for leadership on public
questions probably better opportunity
and with less competition than in the
great cities. The very fact that city
representation is increasing IN the leg
lslatures should make the able country
representative more of a marked man.
The growth of the institute movement,
Of the grange and other rural organs
cations. gives fresh opportunity to de-
velop leadership OF high order.
1t seems to me that by the very ma
ture of the progress we are making.
the college man must 90 TO the farm.
In fact. college men have been going
hack from the beginning Of the agrlcul-
t1Iral education movement. Statistics
show that a very large percentage
actually heye returned to farming, and
this in spit Of the fact that cities have
been growing with marvellous rapidity,
and that the whole system Of agrlcul-
tura1 colleges and experiment stations
has been developing and calling for
men. Considering the limitations un-
der which the agricultural colleges
have developed, without sympathy.
with the Indifference and sometimes
the opposition OF charlottesville very
men who should have known better
with wholly inadequate funds, II is
little less than marvellous what they
have accomplished within a generation.
II & probable that the proportion OF
szudents Of the leading agricultural col-
lees who now engage IN agricultural
pursuits is greater than that Of stu
dents Of colleges Of law or Of other pro-
fessional colleges who follow their chos-
en- profession. No one now questions
the value Of education to lawyer or
physician: why question its value to
farmer? The educated man viii 20
