 An experiment in corn growing GOV ering a period of 12 years made by the Rhode Island experiment station has demonstrated that where clover is used as a cover crop during the win ter the yield of corn is greatly en- hanced. In the test an acre of land was divided into four parts. All four were planted to corn each year, but section 1 was given a cover crop of clover for the fall and winter, the seed being sOwn at the last cultiva- tion. Sections 2 and were kept fal- low during the fall and winter. Sec tion was given rye as a cover crop. It will be understood that the cov<- crop made what growth they could during each fall and early spring, but were turned under when the land was prepared for planting.
 'Hogging corn" is new method of feeding which has been tested by the Minnesota Agricultural college, and in a forthcoming bulletin the system will i be explained and the result of the two 1 years experiments set forth.

 The breeding yards for the turkeys should be gotten ready and the birds occasionally yarded so that they will get used to their laying quarters.
 The false profit which the farmer needs to look out for is the penny overcharge which may cause him to lose a dollar customer.
 There is no good reason why there should not be a bathroom and running water in every farmhouse. Believe it? Then why have you not supplied the convenience for your own house?
 A good use to make of potatoes, tur- nips, apples, pumpkins, etc., that are small and unmarketable is to cook and feed to the COWS, poultry, hogs or fattening beef cattle.

Child's Double Breasted Coat.

Such simple coat as this one suits
the small children admirably well
and is always a favorite. In the il
lustration it Is made of dark blue
broadcloth with collar and cuffs Of
velvet combined with the cloth and is
very chic little garment, but 1t is
adapted to velvet and to velveteen,
to the beautiful fur plushes, to chew
lot, and, indeed, to every material
that is used for children's coats, 1t
being just as good a model for the
spring ones of light weight cloth as
1t is for those of the colder weather.
In this case 1t Is worn by little girl
and is buttoned over from right to
left. But the design suits the boys
just as well as the girls, the only
difference being In the method of
buttoning, so that when the left side
is Tapped onto the right it becomes
truly masculine in style and suited
to the wee men.
The coat Is made with fronts and
back, fitted by means of shoulder
and under-arm seams, and Is finished
at the neck with a comfortable roll
over collar. Its sleeves are in regu-
lation coat style with roll-over cuffs,
and it is closed with buttons and
buttonholes in doublesY ed style.

There are several schools of house

tain amount of sick training being in

One of the most annoying of small
gratis Is the rattle, as conducted for
gain. 1t Is bad enough to be held up
twenty-five cents or fifty cents for
ticket which entities you to a chance
on a rug or a clock when you reason
ably are sure that the proceeds will
go to charity, but no man likes to be
fooled out of his small change by
cheap CRATER, even II the CRATER hap
pens to need the money.
A story is told of two printers who
lived for month on cheap silver
watch which they raffled off almost
daily, until they had worked" nearly
all the printing offices of any size in
town. Those typographical grafters
are unworthy of the noble craft to
which they belong. They pretended
to be jobless on account of last years
strike, and unable to live with their
families on the money furnished by
the union.
During the noon hour, or about
closing or opening time, one of the
lith WOulu oduhlCt ihtO a
room and put up hard luck story.
He had an Old silverine watch that he
wanted to rattle off IL he could sell
twenty tickets at twenty-five cents
each. He usually managed to sell the
tickets.
About the time the drawing was to
take place the confederate entered
and cheerfully took chance and won
the watch without any difficulty.
Thus they had the watch and the IS
also. They would split the money,
and on the first convenient occasion
the rattle would be repeated at anoth-
er place, and by some trick known
only to themselves the drawing was
manipulated so that the confederate
always won the watch.
A south side woman recently had
500 rattle tickets printed, to be sold
at ten cents each, the drawing to be
on Thanksgiving Day for grand
parlor clock" the proceeds to be for
the benefit of poor widow" AS
the woman herself happens to be a
poor grass widow, and as the place of
the drawing could not be learned,
neither could there be obtained a
sight of the clock, it is not difficult to
guess the final destination Of $50 for
which the tickets will be sold.
At many saloons and cigar stores
there is continuous rattle in pro-
gress for "fine gold watch" 1t is
well for those who buy chances to in
spect the timepiece with a critical
eye. One of these watches was sub
mitted to jeweler by the man who
won it. TITS what we call an auction
watch" said the expert. at is worth
about eighty-seven cents wholesale.
The case is gilded, and the works are
of less value than the movement of a
sixty-nine-cent alarm clock 1t may
keep time until the brass begins to
show through the plate, and it may
not"
One of the most attractive forms
of the rafIle ticket game is valuing
the ticket at from one cent up to as
high as desired. The nan who buys
a chance draws a little envelope con-
tanning his number. II he is lucky
and secures small number he is en-
couraged to try again. This is sort

SOME QUEER SCHOOLS.
For Policemen, Nursemaids, Grave
Diggers, Judges and Croupiers.

There are some very strange edu-
cational establishments open at the
present day. A school for cash boys
was opened some time ago, says the
Boston Transcript.
According to a prospectus pupils,
who must not be under fourteen
years of age, are taught arithmetic in
every day use, bookkeeping, penman-
ship and the quick handling and
counting of money. Many of the
boys who have attended the school
are earning good wages as cashiers
in some of the largest stores in New
York and Chicago.
1t is proposed to open in London a
school for nursemaids, where girls
over sixteen years of age may be CIV
en- lessons in the management of in
fants, preparing of children's food,
plain sewing and laundry work and
the kindergarten system of educa-
ton.
Such an institution already exists
in Berlin. 1t was founded two years
ago by a clergyman and is in connec-
ton with a founding hospital. The
growing girls of this establishment
are taught to become competent
housemaids, and positions are found
for them in the houses of the best
families in Germany.
Russia possesses a school for po-
licemen, where young men are
trained for the force. The school is
situated in st. Petersburg, and in a
museum connected thereto the pupils
make themselves familiar with jim
mics, drills, chisels and other tools
used by professional thieves. A par
ticular branch of the school is the
Russian passport system, which every
budding policeman has to study in de-
tail.
A remarkable educational estab-
lishment is the school for Judges
opened recently in Paris. Here make
believe trials are held by pupils un-
der the supervision of we'll known at
tornsys. The whole procedure. from
the issuing of warrant for arrest to
the summing up and the Judges ver-
dict, is carried through in q business
like manner.
At Monte Carlo there is a school
of croupiers. 1t is held during the
ST.. summer months in the club room
of the Tir aux Pigeons and the Sale
f'rscrjw~ IN the Casino biuldiltx.

THRIFT MAKES WEALTH.
French People Own the Securities of
Other Nations.

The public debt of France is $6,-
O0O,OO0,000, all held at home. In
addition, the French people own for
eign securities to the stupendous ag-
'gregate of SIS, 900, 200, 900, and it is
further estimated that an equal
amount is placed in home securities.
These figures may be exaggerated
all but those representing the pub
lie debt-but they illustrate the vir-
tue there is in thrift, which is also a
German usage.
There is no Rockefeller, no Carne-
gle, in France, though there may be
lesser Russell Sage. The French
people do not speculate; they save.
They do not get rich at a hop, skip
and jump; they accumulate by slow
degEees-they economize. The crime
of crimes in rural France is waste,
and France would subsist on what
America throws away. Within the
past year there have rotted on Amer
ican farms enough machinery and
utensils to supply agricultural France
the next quarter of century. A
peasant of Normandy would as leave
subject his household plunder to the
rage of the elements as his plows, or
harrows, or harvesters. And the same
is true of the German on the other
side of the Rhine. Waste makes want
everywhere, and frugality makes
wealth everywhere.
France is blessed with a soil more
fertile and climate more favorable
than Germany, and that is why toll
gets richer return on the French side
of the Rhine. 1t was ever so. Gen.
turies ago France recovered from the
devastations of war much more rap
idly than any of the German States,
and for ages it was the trade of both
countries to avail themselves of the
blessings of peace to make accumula-
tion that would allow them to indulge
in the horrors of war. Now that is
all changed. and another thirty years
of peace between the two peoples may
make impossible a war between
them.
II our population were as thrifty
as the people of France, and our till
age as thorough, we would have to
build new barns for our harvests and
open new banks for our savings

Let Everybody Plant Trees.

If every land owner would plant
in every available place such trees
as would not only give present beau
ty but also insure a future supply
OF valuable timber, it would so sup
plement the larger work of Govern
ment forest reserve that reforesta-
tion and the preservation of an ade-
quate supply Of good timber would
be much simplied.
The precious and almost indispen.
sable white oak is naturally only a
forest tree, but the black walnut,
which intrinsically is even more val
liable, will grow almost anywhere and
in much shorter time, and 1t will
pay for, itself from the time It begins
to bear. The same is true of the
chestnut.
There is no question that cabinet
woods will always be in demand, for
no other material can possibly take
the place of wood in the making Of

| OF double gamble, and many men can
not resist the temptation to speculate
upon the chances simply in order to
have the fun of drawing the little en-.
velopes.
or course, many of the raffles are
FOR cases of genuine charity, and 1t is
an easy way to raise funds for some
worthy object. Many a person who
would not accept an outright gift,
even In case of sickness or death, will
permit friends to rattle off a piano or
bicycle for good round price in or
der to obtain fund to tide him over
an emergency. To buy tickets for
this kind of raffle is praiseworthy.
But sharpers are not above getting
money by the same means. If
strange man, or a doubtful looking
woman, wants to sell you a chance for
| the benefit of IAN old soldier" or
| little orphan girl" or striker out
of work." 1t might pay you to inves-
tigate.
But here is where the easy money
comes in for the sharper. 1t is too
much trouble to investigate, and the
tender hearted person would sooner
give up the ten, twenty-five or fifty
cents to an unworthy CRATER than to
take chances Of refusing to aid a case
of genuine need.
Then, too, there is what might be
called legitimate rattle business. OF
course, the rattle is a lottery under
the law, and, therefore, is a criminal
J transaction. But in many cases goods
of known value but slow sales are
disposed of through raffles, and the
drawings conducted honestly. A
north side man disposed of an auto
mobile in this way. 1t had been
good wagon" in its day, although
the type was old. He wanted to get
a new one, and as the makers would
not allow him anything in exchange
for the old, he sold rattle tickets to
the amount of $500, and the winner
got real bargain-the losers paying
the bill.
A group of young men who wanted
to build themselves little clubhouse
in the Fox Lake region resorted to a
rattle that was almost a downright
steal. They had the printer make
them tickets and each one went
among his friends and organized a
suit club" selling chances for $50
tailor-made suit. OF course those
who invested understood that the suit
probably would be worth about SIS,
but they were satisfied to help build
the clubhouse on that basis, and be-
sides they thought they had fair
chance to get the suit.
1t was learned afterward by acci-
dent that there were twenty Series"
Of tickets sold by these young men,
and instead of each series standing
for suit, only one drawing was held
and only single suit made for the
entire twenty. series of tickets. In
other words, they sold $500 worth
Of tickets for $50 suit of clothes.
They built their clubhouse, however,
and laughed at the man who kicked
because he thought he did not get a
square deal for the half dozen tickets
he bought. They thought 1t was a
good joke.-Michigan Tradesman.
