is due to him that the mohalr Industry
has grown to Its present proportions.
He found that we spend $4,000. 600 a
year for mohair, and he couldn't see
why mohair could not be raised here,
He brought It over, and now we are
raising it on tremendous scale In
Arizona and Texas, and men are get
ting rich on it.
Then he started in on mich goats
His idea was that any poor man who
had room enough to keep couple of
goats could raise his own milk supply:
and trivial as this seems, 1t is worth
counting to a man who has to figure
up pennies instead Of dollars when he
looks over his household accounts.
He has started the task Of restoring
the extinct Morgan horse. The Nor
gan horse was the highest breed we
ever had In this country. Its center of
origin and development was New Eng.
land, particularly Vermont. The civil
war took all the Morgan horses into
the cavalry, and the western emigra-
ton which followed the war finished.
the breed. They got mixed up with
Others until pure-bred Morgan horse
became unknown and the breed entire
ly disappeared. Wilson took up this
task about two years ago. He got a
man in Vermont to give 200 acres for
Morgan horse farm, and Wilson is
running it.
He has also gone in for developing a
distinct breed Of American coach horse.
He has got place out in Colorado
where the work is being managed by
one Of his scientists and expects to
produce an extraordinarily handsome
breed of horses. George Rommel Is
the man in general direction Of this
scheme.
Wilson has given great deal Of at.
tention to the problem of corn breed
ing, of solving the problem how to get,
as much corn as possible on one hill.
II man gets only two or three ears
to hill Wilson regards 1t as waste
Of productive force, because the total
number of bushels produced is less
tnan It ought to be. He sent out to
Illinois and got Shamel. the most dis
tinguished corn breeder in the world.

bridge can be built in two and one-half
years. With the completion of the
structure New York will for the first
time find itself In possession of an ALL

from Boston may then run to New

For family use there Is no necessity
for having six or seven varieties of
a single kind of fruit. Early, medium
and late varieties may be used, but
1t is better to have variety of kind
that is prolific and satisfactory than
to have the land occupied with sew
eral varieties that seldom produce
crops.

Spraying Apples I'm Dry Weather.
During the past few seasons many
apple growers in New York State have
noticed injury to fruit and foliage BY
the bordeaux mixture applied to pre-
vent scab. In some cases this has been
80 great as to cause more harm than
the scab, untreated, would have done
but spraying should not be abandoned
on that ground; for should a bad year
for scab come the loss from the dis
ease would overbalahcel the spray In
jury of many years.
That such injury is reality, how
ever, is very plainly shown In a bulle-
tin of the New York Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station (Geneva). Many Of
the most prominent and best apple
growers Of the State report such In
jury, notably In 1904 and 1905; horti-
culturists in other States have noted
and studied similar trouble, and In
test at the station in 1906 marked evil
dences Of bordeaux injury were shown
on practically all the trees treated.
The test proved very clearly that Il
is the bordeaux mixture that causes
the injury, not the arsenites used with;
1t, that weather conditions have much
to do with the development OF the rus;
setting Of the fruit and spottinE, the
leaves which characterize the trouble,
that an excess Of lime Is not pre-
yentiye Of the injury, and that strong
bordeaux causes greater injury than
weaker mixtures.
The station recommends spraying in
dry weather, II possible and suggests q
trial Of the $3.50 formula for Dor
deaux.

Then there is -the play OF .twos
and threes." The company is group
ed in twos and threes. usually only
one odd one, and the fun consisted in
not being caught as the third. This
keeps each child looking over her
shoulder. for when two were behind
the foremost must slip away and find
another place or be tapped.
After stand-up game, a rather
funny game, where all the company
may sit, is to have one person chosen
to call and the rest to repeat: One,
good fat hen; two ducks; three plump
cartridges; four squawking wild
geese; i've felicitous oysters; six pairs
of Roman-striped hose; 1000 Spanish.
soldiers; eight cages of heliogabulusl
paroquets; nine sympathetic. apathe-
tic. didactic propositions: eleven sup
erstitious astronomers viewing Venus
in Venice; twelve European dancing
masters teaching Egyptian mummies
to dance at Hercules wedding. If any
one laughs during this exercise he
must pay a forfeit. The one who re.
peats most smoothly and solemnly
must be the caller out and begin tho
gibberish over again.-Washington

URocopILE JAWS.

Sir Samuel Baker, in his book on
wild beasts, says that the power of the
jaws Of the crocodile is terrific. Once
he had the metal of large hook, the
thickness of ordinary telegraph wire.
completely bent together, the barbed
point being pressed tightly against
the shank, and rendered useless. This
compression was caused by the snap
OF the crocodile's jaws when selling
live duck which he. had used as a
bait, the hook being fastened beneath
one wing. On another occasion he
found fish weighing seventy pounds
bitten clean through, as If divided by
a knife. This. again. was the work
of the swapping jaws of a crocodile.
A Frenchman, Paul Bert, once made
experiments on the strength of croc.
odile's Jaws by means of dynamo
meter. He found that a crocodile
weighing 100 pounds exerted force
of 308 pounds in closing his jaws.
The lion has an enormous jaw power.
An African traveller once pushed the
butt end of HIS gun into lions mouth,
and the pressure of the jaws cracked
1t as though 1t had been struck by
steam hammer.-American Cultiyator.

Look out for any weak or broken
places in the hay rigging. 1t Is no fun
and 1t may be really dangerous to have
breakdown with a load of hay on.
When buying milestone, don't get
one that is too coarse. One with fine
grind will be the best by all odds. You
can't set good edge on scythe or
anything else with coarse stone.
Laws have recently been enforced in

The Idea in getting boys Interested
In farm life and Its operations is to let
them follow the line of work they like
best. If the boy shows preference to
work with machinery, with stock or
with crops and gardening, why, let
him follow his bent. We need special
lists.
Illinois agricultural fairs will here
after receive from the State funds an
amount equal to 40 per cent of pre-
MUM money offered on exhibits. All
gambling and gambling devices must
be prohibited, us well us the sale of in
toxicants. This is certainly an incen-
tive to clean fairs. (
One of the best things you can do to
make the moving machine work bet
ter is to take Off the guards, If they
are somewhat worn, and grind them
along the edges that come next to the
sections. 1t is quite job, but it pays
well. Take a day before haying really
commences so that the work may not
be delayed and see If you do not find
1t profitable.
When one stops to compare the
amount of close and constant attention
that the farmer must give to his work
with that which other business men
give to their respective labors there is
not SO much cause to complain. Tie
farmer can sleep, and that is more than
the others can claim. The successful
lawyer sleeps OIL his manuscript, the
merchant at his desk, and SO 1t goes.
The best species of sleep is found on
the farm.
