why Several Large Advertisers Or
pose 1t and Favor Other Media.
Anything that tends to mar the ap-
pearance of town or to disfigure its
streets and buildings should be dis
couraged, such as the display of un-
slightly signs.
Much attention is given in the tenth
annual report of the American Scenic
and Historic Preservation society to
outdoor advertising, says the New
York Tribune. The chief question dis
cussed is whether or not such adver-
Using Is profitable enough to the ad
vertiser to Offset the Disagreement of
the scenery. To ascertain the relative
profits derived by the advertiser from
outdoor advertising and other forms Of
advertising and with the general i'm
preston that outdoor advertising must
be proportionately much the more
profitable, fourteen of the largest ad-
vertisers In the country were asked
about the matter.
The answers returned were that the
profits from outdoor advertising were
relatively small excepting in unusual
cases, such as in Cuba, where the pop.
ulation is illiterate and outdoor adver.
Using is about the only thing which
can reach them.
The conclusions drawn from the tes-
hmony Of the fourteen firms approach
ed are:
That outdoor advertising in the Unit
ed States is not as profitable to the adj
vertiser as is commonly believed; that
the income from it is problematical;
that In a country with such high per-
centage Of educated people as we have
newspaper, magazine and pamphlet ad-
outdoor signs; that If advertisers them.
selves realized this the public would be
relieved automatically Of large pro
portion Of the outdoor advertising
which wearies the eye, mars the land
scape and disfgures the street views Of
many of our large cities and towns.
The report continues:
"It may be added that as time goes
on public sentiment is coming to hold
In diminishing esteem the owners Of
property, urban or rural, who lend
their premises to the display Of un-
slightly signs for the small income
which 1t yields them and to regard
with approval and respect those who
refuse to perMit the perversion of their
property to such ends. The example Of
the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad in this respect is hearth
ly to be commended. Although repeat
ed offers Of large sums Of money have
been made to that great corporation
for the privilege of erecting signs along
It's right of way, it has, with admirable
public spirit, declined to entertain
them. Such advertising signboards as
appear along the line Of this road are
not on its right Of way, but on ada
cent private property"

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
4 Wide Extension of 1t ON Irrigated
Lands In Predicted.

q wide Extension of 1t ON Irrigated
Lands In Predicted.
The experience of the last twenty
years has shown the probability Of q
very wide extension Of the sugar beet
Industry on irrigated lands. The de-
STABILITY Of such an extension rests
upon an economic basis. In the first
place, the control by irrigation of the
distribution of water renders the pro,
duction of crop practically sure. The
other meteorological data are usually
Of such constant nature as not to
endanger the production Of an average
crop. The predominating factor, there
fore, in SO far as yield is concerned is
the distribution of the water. Thus it
happens that the crop of beets that will
be harvested in the arid regions may
be confidently predicted within a few
tons. Such a prediction renders all
Of the farm operations connected with
the production of the crop moro certain
and more economical.
A Crop of High Money Value.
In the second place, 1t is highly i'm
portant to secure for irrigated areas a
crop which shall have a high money
value per acre with reasonable mar
gin Of profit. The cost Of bringing
lands under irrigation as q rule Is con.
siderably greater than that Of prepar-
Ing land in the nonirrigated regions for
cultivation. The actual cost, therefore,
Of the land, other things being equal,
Is greater In the irrigated than In the
nonirrigated areas. This higher cost
fastens upon the farmer q fixed charge
which must always be provided for in
the crop before margin Of profit Is
possible. The ordinary average crops
do not always present the most hope
full avenue Of securing this increase Of
profit. For instance, the amount Of
Indian corn or other cereals or grass
crops, with the possible exception Of
alfalfa or other species of clover, does
not afford the opportunity Of certainly
discharging the obligation accruins
from the interest on the investment If
land. The sugar beet, however, adds
further inducements In this direction
because Of the possible and even Ger.
tain production of an average crop Of
not less than fifteen tons per acre, hav.
Ing a money value delivered at the fac.
tory Of from $50 to S75. These ideas
are fully borne out by the data from
the Utah and Colorado stations. The
average yield at Logan is 1879 tons per
acre and at Fort Collins 20.4 tons. The
average content of sugar in the beet is
quite satisfactory at both places, being
very good at Fort Collins.--Dr. a. W.
Wiley.

About Iarks.

1t is curious to observe how cattle
when grazing in q meadow will care
fully avoid damaging a lark's nest If
it comes in their way. They will crop
the grass all round the nest, leaving
high wall Of green to form a protection,
but the nest itself they will not dis
turb.
A lark will seldom alight on the
ground i'm the immediate neighbOrhOOd
of her nest. In this she shows, like
many other creatures, q caution almost
amounting to deceit. She will alight,
say, a hundred yards away from her
brood but never on the same spot and
then she will run covertly along the
ground till she reaches home without
being observed. Her favorite nesting
place is the center of cOrnfield. This
she knows will be untrodden by hu-
man foot till harvest time, long before
which her cares will be over. But even
among the young corn she will seldom
alight in the same spot for fear of be-
traying her nest. You may be sure
there is a nest within fifty yards, but
it Is work of patience to find it.

MarjOrie'S Fairyland.

HNSNsNcNs0shsNSNc|c0s ~
1t was a glorious May morning. Lit
tie violets peeped up from the grass
and nodded their pretty heads ut Mar
jorie as she sat IN the garden playing
with Rough and Kitty.
The swallows twittered under tr-
caves, and light breeze rustled the
leaves Of the tree overhead.
To-day will do" thought Marjorie.
"Today | will start, and I'll find Fairy
land. | must find It. | VIII. Just me
and Rough and Kitty will go there to-
gether, and Wen stay there forever.
Yes, well live with the fairies and
sip honey from the flowers. Oh, Kitty,
won't it be funT
All morning Marjorie waited for her
opportunity to get away. and Rough
and Kitty waited too. Finally it came
about noon, when the sun was hottest
and mamma was busy in the kitchen
preparing luncheon.
With Kitty in her chubby arms and
Rough trotting beside her the three
set out on their long journey, through
the garden gates into the meadows be
yond; then they reached the stream.
Marjorie wondered how she was 60
ing to get across, but a froggie soon
answered her thoughts, as he carried
them all safely across on his back. On
they went, never pausing, never look
ing back, till the bushes closed behind
them and they vanished into Fairy
land.
There was no doubt in Marj0rie's
mind that it was the Fairyland she
was searching for. 1t was SO perfect!
Water rippled between messy banks,
mead0Wsweet bent to kiss the stream,
and the sunbeams fiickered through
the leaves and danced upon MarjOrie's
golden hair. 4 rabbit peeped at her
through the ferns. A squirrel looked
down from hazel tree and flung nut
at her. and robin sat on a bush close
by and trilled its choicest song to her.
Millions of fairies danced on the green,
and Marjorie thought that she had
never seen anything so grand before.
They looked like so many butterflies
frisking about, waving daisies for
wands.
Rough and Kitty We're as interested
as Marjorie and agreed that it would
be heavenly to stay in Fairyland for
ever
There after long search Marjorie
was found at last, and when the little
sleeper was clasped in her mothers
arms the blue eyes Enclosed, and the
child whispered: eve came here, mann
ma, just me and Rough and Kitty, to
find Fairyland. | knew there was a
way, and we got there at last"
"But my darling has been asleep
while was preparing luncheon"
ooh, it was only Il dreamw cried the
child. "Then please let me go to sleep
again. 1t was So nice in Fairyland, was
it not, Rough?"
lad Rough in his own way expressed
his approval OF their dreamland ad-
venture.

Some Clever Dogs.


Dogs like play as we'll as boys and
girls. but would you believe a dog
would enjoy cOasting downhill ali
alone? 1t was a Boston dog that
amused himself in this way. His name
was Nep. He would get Oh a sled, roll
over on his back and coast down the
hill When he reached the bottom, he
would turn around, trot to the top Of
the hill, dragging the sled after him,
roll over on his back and coast down
again. He would do this again and
again, evidently having a most delight
full time
a New York dog was once an impor-
tant witness in court and decided a
case for the judge. He was pet dog
and was stolen from his master. A
few days later his master met q man
carrying the dog. He tried to take the
dog away; the man resisted, and both
men were arrested. In court each man
claimed the dog as his own. The judge
was puzzled. Finally he told q police
man to hold the dog and then directed
one man to stand in one corner of the
courtroom and the other in the oppo-
site corner. Then at a signal each man
was to whistle, and the policeman was
to set the dog free When he was let
loose, the dog at once rushed up to
his master, jumped up on him and
barked with joy. He had decided for
himself to whom he really belonged.
A farmers dog showed himself clev-
er in another way. One of his duties
was to do the churning for his mistress.
He had to trot round and round kind
of treadmill which worked the dasher
up and down and thus changed the
cream into golden butter. The churn-
ing was always done on Monday morn
ing. 1t was hard work, and the dog
didn't like to do it at all. After awhile
he would pun away to the woods every
churning day. How he knew when
Monday arrived no one could tell, but
he always disappeared at an early
hour on Monday, and his mistress was
forced to tie him up on Sunday, 50
that he couldn't run away.

Nothing IS more neglected than the
removal Of worn material from the

as a clearing of the surface from mud
and as such an unnecessary expense,
while in reality this worn material af-

mud IS washed away by nature from

Kentucky Blue Grass.

Many boys and girls no doubt have
heard Of the famous blue grass Of
Kentucky, and it may be that they
share the more or less widespread be-
lief that the grass is called blue be-
cause it has a blush tint. There is no
foundation whatever for this belief,
for the grass il green, like other
grasses, with never tint of blue
about it. It is called blue grass be
cause there is a stratum Of blue lime
stone underlying tire region where the
grass grows. 1t is this limestone that
makes the grass rich and luxuriant.-

Some Suggestions for Women on the Farm
Who Make Butter
C. S. Carnman. Missouri.

THE pale colored. streaked compound
sometimes specked with cheesy parti-
= cles is not very pleasing to the eye.
and its taste not very agreeable to the
palate, for usually the flavor is combina-
ton Of the odors of the kitchen and the
taste of overripe cream or old milk.
This is especially true II the milk is
limited in quantity and the setting in open
vessels is practiced. Where the milk from
lack of better room must be kept in the
kitchen or pantry 1t should be strained and
heated so hot that the hand could COM
fortably bear the temperature and then re-
moved to cool as rapidly as possible.
This heating hastens the rising Of the
cream and also makes the coming of the
butter an easy task. When perfectly cold
the milk should be removed to a tight cup
board from which all food is excluded, and
which no odors can penetrate when cooking
is in progress, there to remain until the
cream has risen.

prevented by skimming before the milk
