Such a degree of prosperity has at tended agricultural efforts of the farm CTS of the western states during the past few years that they no longer have to look to Wall street for funds with which to move their garnered crops. It is rather the eastern finan- cier and speculator who is in suppliant attitude for the wherewithal to finance his deals.

One hundred million acres of land have been taken up by homesteaders since the throwing open to settlement of the first public lands in 1862. Prob ably more than this amount has been taken over by cattle barons, lumber companies and railroads.

The large increase in the sales of manure spreaders throughout the dairy and stock raising sections of the coun- try is one of the most hopeful agricul- tural signs of the times. It means sim ply that things are getting on to sane and sensible basis.

There is something decidedly out of wfack with the household where the kids can't have all the apples they will eat up clean-at least two a day. IT the money that American children ia- vest in cheap candy and chewing gun was invested in apples for winter con- sumption their general health would be improved and a decided economy eff fected in the family expense.
 Since the board of supervisors of Crawford county, Wis, authorized a bounty of 50 cents each on rattiesnakes the county auditor has issued orders for 15,575 of the reptiles, on which bounty of $7,787.50 has been paid. They are still found in considera ble numbers in secluded places along the rivers. But three counties In the Unit ed States pay a bounty for rattiers, and all three are located in Wisconsin.
 1t is well to go through the orchard before snow flies and see to it that nc piles of grass or other litter are left near the base of the trees While, as a rude, mice will not attack apple or other fruit trees during the winter when there is abundance of food. if the SHOWS come deep and other food is covered up they are driven to it as a last resort. If no nesting places are left in the orchard they will not be likely to spend the winter there.
 For law to be effective the fine which it imposes must exceed by a considerable margin the profit derived from its violation. In way of fllustrat- ing this point, 1t Is reported on good authority that the railroads of the country are daily laying themselves liable to fines amounting to $10,00O for violation of the federal law which prohibits the carrying of cattle in cars for periods longer than twenty-eight hours without food, rest and water. The roads seem to be going on the as- sumption that it would be less expen- sive to pay the fines than it would be to carry out the provisions of the law.
