The difference between yield of
th1rty-f1ve and seventy-fve bushels Of
corn per acre from the same land is
due to difference in seed, difference in
preparation of the seed bed and differ
ence in cultivation. Along all these
lines the man comes in, and he it is
who largely determines whether the
yield is large or small.

Considering tie cost Of growing and
getting ready for market, potatoes are

A series Of experiments conducted
by the Iowa experiment station with a
view to determining the makeup of
different brands of stock food on the
market revealed the fact that a great
many of them are badly adulterated,
in some cases foods that were selling
at the rate of $14 not costing more
than 50 on the basis Of the ingredients
contained. Laws should be passed
compelling the labelling Of stock foods,
as is the case under the new federal
pure food law with raspberry jam and
maple strip. In the case Of the pre-
pared stock foods it is the proprietor's
pocketbook rather than the animals
stomach that fares the worse as a re-
suit of authorizations.

A Worcester (Mass) farmer is re-
ported to have had portions Of two
sticks of dynamite eaten by rats, with
the result that he waged very gin
gerly, fearful warfare on them for
some time afterward. He did not dare
to kill them with clubs or set traps
in their runways. So far as reported
the rats seem to have stood the dyna-
mite diet in first rate shape.

Beats all how many folks there are
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 who fall
down fat when it comes to palming
off stale or incubator eggs on the un-
suspecting groceryman just because he
can't detect the fraud on the spot.
Judged from fundamental standard
of ethics, a fellow who will do trick
of this kind knowingly is entitled to
less respect than the other who makes
a business of raiding his neighbors'
henhouses.

Before investing in Texas garden
patches, concerning the marvellous
yields of which glowing reports are
being circulated in the newspapers of
the country this winter, it would be
well for a fellow to get a little inside
information from some one who is not
railroad immigration agent or a
member of some real estate firm.
There is the dark as well as the
bright side to these pictures, and it is
good idea for one to get unbiased in
formation relative to both before he
invests or packs up his household goods
and moves.

Fear of man on the part of wild an
imals is largely a cultivated or ac-
Quired instinct Numerous cases are
on record where men going among an
finals that had never seen human be-
ings before have found them remarka-
bly, tame and almost Indifferent and
Oblivious to mans approach, while the
same characteristics have been noted
in the case of animals especially pro-
teeted by law.

Altogether too many nurserymen are
prone to load a customer up with a
dozen or more varieties of apple trees
and as many more as can be worked
off on his victim when In all reason he
knows that the fellows orchard will
be a sort of testing plot for lot Of
fad apples in which he, as a nursery
man, is particularly interested rather
than a real source of revenue from the
commercial point of view. When set
ting an orchard, it is well to remenb er
that If it is set out for commercial pur-
poses and is not to be maintained ais a
pastime the fewer the varieties of APP
pie the better it is all around, both
from the standpoint of financial return
as we'll as ease and convenience in
picking and marketing.

The volcanic ash soil formation
which is found over considerable por-
tons OF the semiarid sections Of the
mountainous western states is one Of
the richest soils to be found anywhere,
corresponding with the fertile portions
Of the Italian peninsula. Soil Of this
formation possesses a virility that is
not easily depleted and will produce
crop after crop of wheat without any
artificial reinforcement. IN many
places the scant water supply is the
chief obstacle encountered by the set
tier, but since he does not pretend to
raise stock and raises winter wheat he
ls not seriously handicapped by the
middle and late summer drought.
Wheat growers in the territory re-
ferred to not only have comparative
" easy time Of it in the matter of
handling their crop, but get a price for
their wheat that makes the occupation
a profitable one.

A lady reader of these notes resid-
ing in Colorado, noting a recent item
relative to the growing Of potatoes
which were planted on the surface of
the ground and simply given cover
Ing Of straw, writes inquiring if any
thing was placed on the straw to keep
it from being blown off by heavy
winds, leaving the potatoes exposed.
So far as we know about the case
cited, nothing was used. It has been
our experience in covering strawberry
beds that If the straw is carefully and
evenly scattered there is little danger
OF its being blown off by the wind.
When used as covering for patch
OF potatoes the rains which would
come during May and June would tend
to make damp mulch Of it, while the
vines coming up through it would tend
to anchor 1t and keep it in place.

Residents in and about Chippeway
Falls, Wis, are reported to have in
dulged in bear drive recently. The
depredations of the brutes in midwin-
ter are explained by the fact that the
weather has been so mild that they
have come forth from their hibernat-
ing haunts and, being uD and about,
have been compelled to look around
for something to eat. Sheep and
calves have been their chief prey.

A good many young married cou-
pies find out as the little ones come
into the home that no two Of them
can be handled in just the same way.
One young husband who vowed before
the baby came that he would never
rock baby to sleep told US not long
since that he would sit astride the
ridge board of the house on winter
night and rock the baby to sleep-do
anything, in fact, to secure the desired
result. The youngsters develop a dis
position and personality at remark
ably early stage, and whenever they
appear it has to be reckoned with.

We We're told the other day of fell
low who gave his fine horses the best
of care and engaged the services of a
veterinary surgeon If there was any
evidence of collie or distemper, but
who would at the same time let his
wife and children lie sick for days
without summoning physician. We
suppose this was due to the fact that
from his standpoint the horses we're
worth S175 per head, while the mem
bers OF his family were a needless ex-
pense.

During the year past the price of
hogs on the Chicago market has ruled
nearly a dollar per hundredweight
higher than for the preceding year,
and packers attribute it to the fact
that hog raisers and shippers are be-
coming more conservative and do not
rush their hogs to market indiscrimi-
nately as they have often done in
years previous. In any event, what
ever the cause, it has been all right
from tie standpoint of the granger.

BALLOON TRIP TURNS
OUT A FAILURE

Golconda. IL. May 3.--Captain e. d.
r. Chandler, United States signal ser
vice. and ]. G. Mccoy of New York.
failed to break the long distance bal
loon record and to VIII the Lahm cup.
The balloon. which left st. Louis at
7:2O Tuesday evening, landed five miles
north OF Golconda at 2:30 O'Clock We'd
neSday afternoon. To have won the
Lahm cup the balloon would have had
to go more than 402 miles. Golconda is
only 100 miles from St. Louis. Chang
able air currents demonstrated to the
iieronauts that they could not win the
cup II for that reason they made the
landing near here. The balloon made
AN easy landing. Ii was brought to
Golconda in wagons. Mccoy goes with
1t from here to New York. while Cap
tain Chandler goes to Washington.
Captain Chandler made the trip for
the purpose of making balloon obser-
vatio!.s for the United States army. He
and Mccoy upon leaving St. Louis
hoped that the lind would carry them
toward Washington. ID. c.. but the bal
loon took Il southern course immediate
~ upon leaving the ground. 1t crossed
the Mississippi river and continued
southwark near The river some dis
tance. when it was driven back into
Missouri. 1t then continued south until
nea the Arkansas line.
While HI balloon did not take the
direction hoped by Mccoy and Captain
Chandler. the fight was fairly sue
cessful. The balloon was carried first
i'll one direction and then in another. as
it encountered different air currents at
different attitudes.
The balloon was in the air about
nineteen hours. Provisions had been
taken for "a thirty-six hour trip. and
the could have remained In
the air forty-eight hours. Had they
been making in n direction they
would have remained w at least thirty
six hours. Go.conda is in Pope county.
