FRANCE IS ALARMED.
Papers Say Roosevelt May Overshoot
the Mark.

Paris. Aug. 22.-Great interest Is
taken here in the speeches delivered
by President Roosevelt in Province
town. Mass, and by Secretary Taft
print extensive extracts from both.
The Journal des Debats, after sketch
ing the powerful corporations the
president is fighting, expresses fear
that his methods are dangerous. 1t
says:
1.-The role of the archangel killing
the financial dragon presents dangers
which man less welded to his pur-
pose would perceive. The president
already has contributed largely to the
depression from which the New York
stock exchange is suffering. Capital
is representative and may be danger
ously paralyzed by the most virtuous
intentions. The presidents theory of
central control runs the risk of sub
stituting for the plutocracy a dema-
gogic specialization.
President Roosevelt, who above
everything else is an honest man, has,
perhaps, failed to realize what prey
he is throwing at the feet of less dis
interested politicians. The leveling
idea from which he does not shrink
may impregnate the American masses,
who, with the foreign influx, are rap
idly losing their old. liberal Ameri-
can spirit. An evil like the trust evil
should be handled skilfully, so as not
to ruin the country. In following
President ROoseVelt's attack on the.
trusts. it is impossible not to fear that
he may overshoot the mark and jus
tify those who regard the president as
John the Baptist of American dema-
gogism. 1t already can be foreseen
that the politicians will SurpasS his
honest intentions and Republicans and
Democrats alike will now consider it
to be their duty to aSsail the trusts In
the coming presidential campaign"

ROTATING CROPS.

Account.

1t is desirable to so plan the farm
work as to crops that there will be
rotation from year to year. II this
Is combined with the proper use OF
fertilizers 1t will keep the farm in
good shape from year to year. Diff.
ferent crops use different quantities
of plant food, and so all crops return
something to the land in the way OF
decaying roots and perhaps acids set
loose in the decaying processes. The
insects are kept down by the rota
lions and the weeds are also better
kept under control, says Farmers Re.
view. 1t is hard to check the spread
OF insects If the same crops are grown
on the same fields every year. There
are some insects that feed on some
crops but starve on others, and the ro
tation process helps the starvation OF
the insects. The best-kept farms are
where the crops are rotated. Usually
the fields should each have legumi.
nous crop once every few years, this
depending on the richness Of the soil
and the kind of other plants grown.
Thus, on a soil too rich in nitrogen,
we would not suggest a leguminous
crop in the rotation till the too abun-
dant supply of nitrogen in the soil had
been exhausted.

plenty of straw for bedding all of the

SANE, CONFINED 1s YEARS.

Story and Secures His Release.

Peoria. Ill.-Repeatedly during his
10 years confinement at the Kankakee
insane asylum, Francis de Four has
unsuccessfully tried to interest per-
sons in his case, and at last he found
man at the institution who would
listen to his story, and as result has
been placed in communication with his
family, who are said to be wellto-do
residents of Chicoutine.
De Four was sailor who met with
some mishap which caused him to be
declared insane, and he was COM
mitted to the Kankakee institution.
Unable to talk English. he could
give no account of his relatives. AS a
pauper patient from Cook county, De
Four was given little attention. and
by the few who heard fragments of
his story 1t was treated as the rawlings
of lunatic. A few weeks ago he at
tracted the attention of French
Canadian patient and Waterman by
the name Of A. NJ Pelletier. The lat
ter suggested that De Four write to
the parish priest.
The letter was written and q re-

TABLETS MADE, BURIED, THEN

ExpIolters Come to Grief in Digging
Up "Noah's piary'-Michigan
Copper Used as Basis of
Gigantic Fraud.

Detroit, Mich.-An alleged copy of
Noah's diary, engraved upon cop
per tablet dug up in Michigan ard Of
fered for sale to Wisconsin col
lector, has resulted in uncovering one
of the cleverest swindles of recent
years. A former secretary of state is
implicated in the affair and with him
are a university museum curator and
other Michigan men.
Michigan copper formed the basis
of the enterprise, which consisted in
manufacturing ancient relics out of
copper. painting them green to rep
resent verdigris, dipping them in cor
rosive acid. and burying them in
mounds, after which they were dug
up by relic hunting expeditions under
the leadership of the promoters.
The affidavits of prominent citizens
that they had seen the relics dug out
OF the ground were sufficient to secure
their sale to credhlous collectors. no
one dreaming that the prehistoric age
might have been only IL months be-
fore. Indian copper implements. battle
axes of leaf copper. well tempered
spearheads, and other supposed rare
and anciently corroded relics that
have been treasured in Michigan and
outside museums are declared to be
bogus, with the result that all collec-
lions of the sort are thrown under
more or less suspicion.
AS finishing touch to gigantic
swindle the relic manufacturers
branched off from Indian relics. They
went SO far sto dig up in the pres
ence of reputable witnesses bronze
tablets inscribed with hieroglyphics
and symbols of the biblical deluge and
the tower of Babel. The takers would
have had collectors believe that
Michigan was the seat of the original
flood, and that Noah's ark f1oated
somewhere among Michigan's low
hills. which were the real Mount

The diary of Noah was offered to a

GOOD PASTURES.
Old World Countries Can Teach the
American Farmer Many Lessons.

May the day come when the pas.
lures on the American farm will be
as carefully taken care of as they are
in some of the older dairy countries
of the world. There Is no doubt that
the pasture is now one of the best
paying parts of the farm, even with
its neglect, and 1t can be far more
profitable II 1t is made to produce as
much as 1t should produce. What is
more beautiful than sunny pasture
in which the grass Is fine and thick
and the sod is so deep and compact
that it Is difficult to dig down to the
naked soil!
The cows luxuriate in such a pas
ture. They do their own harvesting of
the crop. and this is one of the items
of profit not generally thought of.
The better pasture the more of a crop
there is for the cows to harvest The
question of the pasturage has not yet
been deeply studied by the American
farmer. He has siurred over it, as is
seen by the conditions of our pastures
almost everywhere.
Recently the writer of this was
driving through some of the best
farming land of Illinois. AS he came
to = beautifully placed and beautifully
kept farm, the driver said to him:
The man that owns this farm always
has things in beautiful condition.
Nothing is ever lying about. The
fences are up and the trees, shrubs
and flowers are in proper trim. Tba
owner is worth $150,0OO. and he and
his wife have made it together"
1t was indeed beautiful place and
the two-story farm house was in keep
ing with the rest. 1t showed that the
occupants had artists souls. But the
writer was compelled to remark to
the driver. THE one drawback is the
pasture. which is eaten down to the
ground"
Here was an illustration of the
habit that, has taken hold of the
frmer, that of neglecting his pasture.
If it is free from stones and stumps
and is not tramped into mire in any
place it is thought to be good enough.
In the case of the man referred to,
the pasture could have been made
as perfect and beautiful as was the
rest Of the farm. The chief reason
for its not being so lay in the mere
fact that his conception of what
pasture should be was as low as that
of most of our farmers. whether they
live in New England or in the prairies
of the west.
