Calf Mccoy, an alert little lad. Calf
is not ar all contrite over his deed He
says he killed his mother because she was
mean TO him. Rock county is up on the
edge of the sandhills. and on a quarter
section lived the Widow Mccoy and her
three sons. 1t was hard life the fam
lily led. Work all day, little pleasure, no
schooling-this was the program the lad
was familiar with from infancy.
The widow was hard taskmaster and
she did not spare the rod On June q
she gave Calf a sound whipping for fail
ure TO perform a task to her liking Calf
told his mother he would FIX" her. She
whaIed him a little harder for his threat.
The next day she told the three boys TO
come with her to the field to plant beans
Calf slipped into the kitchen and got the
family revolver. Hiding it under his coat
he went to the field. While his mother
was crOuched down at her task he walked
up to within five or six feet OF her and
shot her through the head. She died in
a few moments.
Calf made no pretense Of lying about
what he had done. He said she had whip
ped him a number of times without cause,
that she was mean 10, him and to his
brothers and that he had but carried out
his open threat to her when last she whip
ped him. He did not weep then. and he
hasn't wept since over her death.

DR.. George F. Jelly, the Boston mental
specialist, and Dr.. G. A. Blumer of Prov
idence were appointed comasters with
Judge Aldrich to examine Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy, the aged founder and
head of the Christian Science church, as
to her mental competency to look after
her business interests. Judge Aldrich
had written Judge Chamberlin that he
was averse to taking the sole responsible
ity in so important a matter. Later DR..
Blumer declined to act and the defend
ants strongly opposed the appointment of
any doctors.
Counsel for Mrs. Eddy and her trus-
tees filed exceptions to the appointment
of the two directors as comasters because
they are non-residents of New Hamp-
shire, and are authorized to render a de-
cision not predicated wholly upon the
evidence submitted to them, and also to
the issue framed by the court and the
denial by the court of the previous mo
tons by the defendant, all of which are
expected to result in carrying the entire
case, with all its complications, to the
Supreme Court.

American Tobacco.

The American tobacco crop has
within the past few years assumed
greatly increased Importance. Quail
ity as well as the quantity has i'm
proved. The farmers in some parts of
the South, where this crop has been
taken up, are making money beyond
their fondest dreams in the tultiva-
ton of tobacco, and it is said that the
unusual sight has been witnessed there
of the agents Of the large manufacture
ing companies practically on their knees
begging for few bales of tobacco.
In southern Georgia the value OF
land suited for tobacco growing has
Increased in value tenfold, and towns
which were Insignificant few years
ago are now important shipping CEN
tiers. One place in Georgia, which ii
would be difficult to find on the map,
enjoys the distinction of having ship
ped 100000 worth of leaf in the
course of one year. The Florida crop,
it is stated, could have been sold twice
over. The latest figures to be had show
that the value of the tobacco in this
country annually is valued at littl
more than So, 100000.

Humus Holds water.

Decayed and decaying vegetable mat
ter in the soil greatly increases the
power of the soil to hold water This
is a fact of such large consequence
that our agricultural scientists are pay
ing more and more attention to it.
One of the professors at Cornell Uni
versity undertook to prove the great
value of hu1hus as holder of water.
He took two samples of soil from places
about twenty feet apart. Everything
about the location suggested that the
two samples should show the same wa
ter content But in one. of the loca-
tons three successive crops of crimson
clover had been turned under. The
sample of soil from the place where
no clover had been turned under an
alyzed s.75 per cent moisture; 1.91 per
cent humus and II nitrogen. The sam
pie from the soil where the crimson
clover had been turned under analysed
10 per cent moisture; 2.94 per cent
humus, and 81 nitrogen. This was
gain of 6.25 in moisture content; 1.0S
humus content and 90 nitrogen con-
tent. There are very few people that
stop to consider what this means on
an acre of land Taking the soil to
n depth of six inches it means that
this 6.25 per cent increased moisture
would equal $3.50 pounds or 467s tons
Of water. This amount of additional
water would mean great deal in a
dry season. The turning under of an
occasional crop of some green stuff
means much, if it does nothing else
than hold up the water content of the
SOIL 1t would take a great deal of

are now unproductiye would, says
Farmers Review, he productive If they
had enough water TO carry them over
the dry spell of summer. But by bal
farming methods the humus has been
exhausted and this has reduced the ca
pacity of the soil for carrying crops
through the dry season. The crops
start we'll in the spring and seem TO
be doing nicely till the summer dry
spell begins, when they at once droop
as Il some insect were assailing them.
The trouble really is that the mois-
ture supply was so light that it was
soon exhausted and the soil could not
supply more. This loss of water hold
Ing capacity has really been at the bot
tom OF numerous crop failures in diff
ferent localities. The humus supply
of the soil can be kept up by growing
deep roofing crops and by fertilizing
them so heavily that they will develop
great masses of roots. The blowing W.
der OF crops grown for the purpose, OF
course adds much humus TO the ell.
but most farmers do not Ike u lose
the use OF the land for even g season.
This may lie avoided by growing some
leguminous crop in the cornfeld late
IN the season and turning under the
soil late In the fall or early In the
spring Rotations OF crops help to keep
up the humus supply, If there Is grass

Press Opinions on

Whether or not the Supreme Court sus-
tains the decision of Judge Lands in the
suit against the Standard Oil Company,
there can be no doubt that public opinion
will sustain it.-Chicago Post.
The case was plainly one in which. if
the law was to be upheld and punish

themselves, will speedily see to it that

The fine levied by Judge Lands will
have a valuable and far-reaching effect

ALASKAN FARMS.
Nearly 100000 Acres soon 90 ne
Opened for Settlers.

AVA S(tthCASe
At distance of some so miles south
of the Arctic Circle 2,9SO,OOO acres of
land will be opened for settlement in
Alaska on Sept. 80, by recent order Of
the Secretary OF the Interior This great
tract has been held in reserve for q ma
uOnal forest around Norton bay, but the
project was abandoned so many were
the demands for entry on land which had
been found more suitable for settlement.
The spring rush for Alaska overwhelmed
steamship accommodations and filed up
the wharves at Seattle with household
freight, but the order of the Secretary is
expected to prolong the rush up to the
approach of winter. Alaska has been in
the throes of a general strike and tie
up, but as usual in such cases this fea-
ture is wearing itself out. These trou-
bles we've caused by the shortage of labor
in southeastern Alaska, owing to the ac-
tyity of railway building and the devel-
opment of new mines, eliminating in a
general demand fer higher wages.
Agriculture is proceeding hand in hand
with the efforts of government experiment
stations, which are constantly determin-
ing what will grow which heretofore has
been exotic to the soil. So far, all the
harder vegetables have been made to
thrive, and in the large valleys of the in
terror experiments are being made, with
every prospect of success, to grow hay,
grain and stock feed capable of maintain
ing work animals. The great valley along
the Susitna river in central Alaska, ex-
tending north from Cooks Inlet and Res
direction bay, it is declared has a mild
climate all the year, owing to the warm
currents of the ocean, and will grow al
most anything that is raised in temperate
zones.
The permanent white population of
Alaska is now $4,000, with 5000 nomads
at work here ard there. The increase
now averages $500 souls year, figure
which the coming opening of lands is ex-
pected to swell materially. These people
shipped to the States last year $29, $780,
2S6 worth of gold silver, copper and
merchandise in the form of fish products.

The establishment of the first steam
ship line operating between Greece and
the United States was signalized by the
recent arrival in New York harbor of the
Greek ship Moraitis of the Hellenic
Transatlantic line. She is said to be
the first passenger steamship to visit
New York, and. incidentally, is the larg-

She has cabin accommodations for 100
passengers and steerage quarters for
1000 Her capacity is COCO tons and
her speed about fourteen knots. The
iroention is TO add two more vessels to
the line so as to give a ten-day sailing

Some recently discovered documents in
the Ripon college library prove that the
commonly accepted date of the founding
of the college is in error, and that the
college was in reality founded on Nov.
%, 1850, instead of during the following
year, as has been supposed. The book
tells of the first meeting of leading men
of Ripon of that early day, and of the
decision to form college. Many of the
notables of that day were at this initial
meeting and chosen as directors. David

was formed. Alvan Il. Bovay, the clerk
of the board was later the founder of
the Republican party, in which capacity
he is best known. At this initial meet
ing the main portion of the present east
college building was authorized, and was
erected at cost of less than $1,000.
Later the building was enlarged.
