There IS q Right Way to Commence
Clearinu.

July Is to August Is is the time
for our farmers to cut brush and
have it stay cut. This is the state
ment of w. L. Nevius, manager of
the Davidson-McRae ranch, who
has cleared more land than anv
other half dozen men to Aitkin
county. He says brush cut at any
other season will only multiply the
sprouts and do more harm than
good in the way of clearing. His
advice is, cut after the middle of
July all the brush you can. Don't
stop to pile it but let it lay and keep
on cutting until the middle of
August, then pile it up and burn
it. The land can be seeded with the
fret tall of snow without blowing
and after four years of pasturing
any field not having pine stumps
in it can be plowed up without
difficulty.
This does away with the grubbing
and Mr.. Nevius declared that Aitkin
county land treated in this way will
make the best dairy country in the
state. After handling stock for
years in Ohio and southern Min.
nesota Mr.. Nevius says he had as
soon take contract to winter 800
head of cattle without grain right
here as anywhere he knows Of

MORGAN AND THE eoRRowEF
City Promoter Not Shrewd EnouaI
for Great Banker,

A promoter widely known in Wall
street as a clever but untruthful spec.
ulator was in financial trouble. He
was going to fail and the fact war
known in banking circles. Everybody
knew 1t but the promoter. II, he
reasoned, he could borrow enough
money, he would win out.
Finally he appealed to J. Pierpont
Morgan, who knew the exact status OF
ana1rs, for big loan. The f1uancie1
thought for moment and said, Brine
whatever securities you have to my
od1ce in the morning."
The next morning the promoter and
q negro carrying tin box appeared
In the Morgan Office.
Let me see what unencumbered
collaterals you have?"
The promoter selected them, and
was asked to place value on the lot
NO." said the financier, II won't
make loan, but I'll buy the lot."
The promoter sorrowfully accepted
the terms, but he had hoped for Q
loan, believing that If he could get the
loan, he could follow it up with a de
mand for a second one to save the
f1rst. But the big banker, knowing
his man, saw through the scheme and
protected himself, at the same time
helping the promoter by taking of his
hands some sound but temporarily un
marketable securities.
The promoter failed.-Sunday Mag

The Old Suez Canal.

Few people are aware that there had
been a canal across the istllmus of SueZ
before De Lesseps over conceived the
idea OF his monumental enter prise. \
canal across the isthmus WINS actually
constructed 600 years before the Chris
tain era and served ms n waterway for
small vessels until about 900 years ago,
when it was allowed to fall into disusc.
Napoleon revived the idea and instructed
one OF the great engineers Of his day to
investigate the matter, but though n
favorable report was p~rescntei to him,
III which NJ. Lepcro recommended the
restoration Of the canal, the wofk itself
was mover touched. When NJ. De
Lcsscps undertook the task OF cutting
the canal ne thought at first to follow
the idea Of Napoleon aud restore the
ancient waterway, but this pian was
abandoned and the present plan de-
tcrrnined upon.
