missing from the windows. and that

all worn floors and cutters. If you

to draw the manure to the field from
the stable every day during the com.

gained In this method. There will be
almost no loss in fertilizing material
and great economy In time and

Few Whites In Bolivia.

Bolivia extends for nearly 1900
miles from north to south and al
most 700 miles from east to west.
In all this vast extent of territory
there are only about 100000 peo-
pie, more than half of whom are
full blooded Indians, degenerate de-
scendants of the valiant Incas. In
number of inhabitants to the square
mile the hermit republic ranks the
lowest of all the nations of the
world, having at the last census only
ninety-nine one-hundredths of a
person to every. mile, while Tripoli,
which comes next in this respect,
has one full inhabitant to the mile.

After the apples have been picked an
application Of manure or other fertiliZ-
ing material should be made for the
future benefit of the orchard. A young
orchard or one in bearing should not
be expected to yield good crops OF
fruit without fertilization and proper
care. any more than other crops on the
farm. Where attention is paid to this
and keeping the trees properly
trimmed. then good results should be
obtained.
The entire surface of the orchard
should be fertilized and not merely
close around the trees. The roots eX-
tend long way ana the small tihrous
ones are those that will make most use
of the fertilizers. There should be no
piles of manure left around the foot
of the trees to afford Il burrow for
mice.-American CultiyatOr.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Scientific Rotation of Crops.


Experiments show us every soil
should have a variety of crops or in a
few years it win fail TO produce as 1t
did formerly. A shallow rooted crop
must be grown in rotation with deep
rooted crop; cultivated crop In rota-
ton with one that is not cultivated; a
crop that tends TO build up the soil In
rotation with one which is exhaustive.
For this reason wheat. corn and al
falfa or clover make an excellent rOta-
ton. The wheat is shallow rooted
crop, while corn and alfalfa are deep
rooted crops. The corn is cultivated
crop, while the wheat and alfalfa are
not. The alfalfa is n soil builder.
while the wheat and corn are eXhaus-
tive crops. The alfalfa gathers fer
tility from the air and the subsoil
storing it i'll the surface layer, while
the corn and wheat take plant food
from the surface layer without making
any material returns.-Farmers Advo-

Nation of Noises.

In China night is as alive as the day
and is filled with whoopS, noisy con-
verSation, the SingSong accompanying
work. boisterous repartee and every
other unmusical sound. In addition,
the darkness is one long howl of dogs,
cackle of geese, braying of donkeys,
croaking of frogs, the squealing Of
pigs, the drumbeats of the policeman
and even, as some one has said, "the
singing of the stars Individually the
people are full of varieties of unsup-
pressed, violent demonstrativeness, and
collectively they are only terrific
tribal turbulence. One most approprl
ate name for China has never been
given it. 1t has been called the Yellow
Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, the Ce-
lestial Empire. the Pigtail Nation, the
Sleepy Giant and others. No one Of
these is more applicable than the Ma
tlon of Noises. Noise Is seemingly the

Shelter the Flock.

During the winter months after the
flock has been taken in from the field
a good. roomy yard that is high and
dry and sheltered from the west and
north winds is Il good place in which
to allow the sheep TO pass the most
of the days during pleasant weather,
says Wisconsin fockmaster in Ma
tionaI StOckman. Feed troughs for
grain and racks for coarse fodder are
Indispensable in the yard. Sheep seem
TO relish feed better out of doors than
when fed inside the shed. After hav-
Ing passed the day in the yard they
are ready to go into the shed for the
evening feeding of hay and enjoy a
quiet night. Comfort and enjoyment
are essentials that should always be
considered.

Spanish Tao.

Spanish children play kind Of
tag which they might have taken
from some fairy game book if such
a thing existed. One child, chosen
by lot, is the moon and must keep
within the shadow. The others are
the morning stars and are safe only
in lighted spaces. The game is for
the morning stars to run into the
shadow, daring the moon, who, if
successful in catching one, becomes
in turn a morning star and passes
out into the light. This, of course,
leaves the one caught to act the
part of the moon. As the morning
stars run in and out Of the moons
domain they sing over and over:
o the moon and the morning stars,
o the moon and the morning stars,
Who dares to tread-O
Within the shadow?

The Georaian Bay Canal.

The Georgian bay canal survey
has been completed after two years
of work and a heavy expenditure
of money. 1t is an undertaking
comparable with the Panama canal,
for the rough estimates of its cost
already reach a total of $125,OOO,-
900, and the revised estimates,
based on the survey just finished,
may be materially higher. The
project calls for a channel with a
minimum depth of twenty-five feet
from the great lakes to Montreal by
way of French river, Lake Nipis-
sing and the Ottawa river. Its com
pletion would mean the shipping of
cargoes from great lake ports to any
part of the world without breaking
bulk. How such a plan will appeal
to the powerful transcontinental
Canadian railways will not be seen
until the report on the canal is
made public.

CORNELL FAVORITE
Picked to Defeat University of Pennsylvania in Game
 day.

Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-The Cornell football team arrived here to-day ready for the annual game tomorrow on Franklin field with the University of Pennsylvania. Though the Ithacans have defeated Pennsylvania but once in fourteen years they are slight favor ties in the betting The team went through light signal practice at Westchoster during the day and will rest there tonight, going from them to Franklin field tomorrow The Pennsylvania players, who have been spending the days at Winslow June ton, N J., were put through Night practice to-day and later went for a cross-country walk.
 The game promises to be one of the hardest fought contests Pennsylvania has participated in this year, and aside from the records of the two teams and the matter of form, many football enthusiasts arbitrarily say Cornell is simply due" to win.
 The demand for tickets of adrnis- sion for the game has been enormous and nearly everything worth having in the way of seats has ben taken With favorable weather one of the largest crowds chat has ever attended foot ball contest on Franklin field is ek- peeted to witness the game.
