Crop Rotation and Hoof-Aphts.
From the fact that In the midst OF
the corn belt, and where the root-aphis
is known to prove destructive under
certain conditions, almost complete inn
munity is secured where a system Of
crop rotation has been carried out for
many years, involving but one corn
crop In the cycle of rotation, 1t is self
evident that this measure offers the
greatest protection from the ravages OF
this pest. says a government report.
Indeed, 1t is only where such a sgs-
tenn of crop rotation is not practicable
that the root-aphis need be considered
In farm practice. To the eastward,
where there is more general rotation
of crops, this pest does but little In
jury.
Unfortunately, local conditions, often
extending over large sections Of coun-
try, will not permit OF crop rotation
being generally adopted, and some 9th
er plan more feasible must be put Into
practice. Two other methods may be
followed. One of these Is practicable
throughout the corn-growlng section Of
the country in seasons of not more
than normal precipitation during the
time intervening between the first
blowing of the ground and the first
cultivation OF the young corn. The 9th
er is perhaps best adapted to the south
ern portion OF the country on account
Of the milder winters.

Put IN a good crop OF fodder corn,

apart, 80 as to cultivate 1t. Do not
cut the fodder until the ears begin to
glsxe, when it may be put in a silo.
or cut down, cured and stored In the
barn Such fodder should never be
stacked In the fields, as its quality Will
be injured by exposure TO sun and rain
The value Of fodder Is greatly iniu-
enced By tia period OF growth at which
1t Is cut. II cut too coon It win con-

old Times, Old Friends, ola Love.
There are no days like the good old daya.
The days when we were youthful
When humankind we're pure of mind,
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before a love of sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion.
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant Fashion
There are no girls like the good OLD
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em
As buxom and smart and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'eml
They were rich in spirit and common
sense.
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made such likely courtin'.
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When we were boys together
When the grass was sweet to the brown,
bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sang to the summer
dawn
OF the bee In the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-will
Echoed its night song over.
There is no love like the good old love-
The love that mother gave us
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us !
So we dream and dream of the good old
times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away of yonder.

Cross"
When l survey The wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain l count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that l should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my Gods
All the vain things that charm me most,
l sacrifice them to His blood.
See, from His head. His hands, His feet
Soraow and love flow mingled down;
Did eer such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a CROWN
Were the whole realm Of Nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love 80 amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Still Believe in Witchcraft.

How many English readers who lave read the witch trial of Vienna kl.ow that such women as Marie Nebily, performing just such tricks, are to be found here? Marie seems to have surprised the Austrian judge by her story of the Hungarian shep- herd, Stephen Stephanovics, who is 90 years old and who sells charms and in whom she believes. He made the remark, which we have so often heard before, that the world is not in the middle ages. But the judge is wrong. A great part of mankind is in the middle ages, if by that is meant that it believes in witchcraft. The credulous Austrian woman who thought that her husband could be cured of extravaganza if she gave a half of one of his socks to Marie Ne billy, who would then for a small con- sideration in money give powder to cure him of spendthrift habits, has many French and English fellow-be- lievers. White and black witches thrive in many parts of this country And what is more, they not only make dupes but not few of them really be lieve in their own charms, as the woman Nebily asserted that she did London Outlook

Not Unnatural Errer.

A freshman who had entered one of the large universities and was not much accustomed to the ways either of institutions of learning or of cities was returning late one evening from a lecture. When near his lodgings he was halted by two masked men who held him up" in true metropoli tan style.
 One of them leveled the convention al revolver at the young man while the other relieved him of his watch pocketbook and other yaluables.
 He made no mention of the matter to anybody at the time, but few days later he reported it to the president of the university.
 Tt wasn't great deal" he said but it was more than I like to lose and I think it's an outrage to treat a boy that way"
 Why didn't you tell me of this sooner?" asked the president.
 q supposed they would bring the things back to me the next morning, : he answered. Tt was a couple of sophomores hazing me, wasn't it?"

NEGROES AT WHITE HOUSE
President Has Six colored Guests at
 Reception.

Washington, D. C.-The presence of six negroes at the reception given last night by President and Mrs. Roosevelt to the judiciary caused com ment Ordinarily it is not remarkable for negroes to be present at such off cial functions, as invitations are ire quently given to negroes connected with the government, but none was present at the diplomatic reception two weeks ago, and the cause was SUD- posed to be resentment among the ne- groes to the presidents course in dis missing the negro soldiers. w. T. Yer non, register of the treasury, who Is a large and exceptionally black negro, was at the reception last night with three negro women. The identity of the other negroes present could not be ascertained.
 A secondary feature of the reception was the large number of school girls there. Among those present were MT. and Mrs. Emlen Roosevelt, Mrs. Hich- born l.. Roosevelt and Miss Dorothy Roosevelt of New York, who are guests at the White House.

The total increase, which is to reach it's maximum in five years, is 6,l97 officers and men, which, with the increases in certain salaries of men in separate grades, such as cleo tricians, machinists, etc., will cost $243,324 annually.
 Senator kittredge of South Dakota, who lives where lumber is scarce and who has seen how the lumber trust controls the situation, denounced that corporation in the senate as the most gigantic, eXacting and soulless of the trusts that oppress our people, ''The lumber trust is the king of combinations in restraint of trade,'' he declared Tn it's farreaching eff fleets there is none to compare with it. It is remorseless in is grasp on the people, and the only change which it contemplates is to increase the price of it's products at stated and frequent intervals without regard to cost"
 He said that the trust had become so bold in it's operations within the last year or two that 1t had eleminated in many localities all semblance of competition and from a central point controlled both the wholesale and re- tail trade.

GOT THE MIssIvEs MIXED.
Authors Carelessness That Might
 Have Had Dire Results.

Judge Shute, the author. tells this story on himself:
 My careless habit of mixing letters nearly got me into a serious scrape some years ago. 1 was then paying ardent and persistent attentions to the present Mrs. s. l also had a client, a very aged woman, for whom l was conducting a trivial law sult, but which, like all law suits in which women are parties, assumed tremen- dous importance in her eyes.
 q wrote two letters, one to the young lady, as follows:
 My Dear Miss K: Will you ride with me Saturday afternoon? l have secured new saddler, which, I think, you will like. If agreeable be ready at about two o'clock
 "To the old lady, who had annoyed me greatly by practically demanding my entire time and attention, 1 ad- dressed the following:
 Dear Madam: I am unable to give you any more of my time and atten- ton. The matter is now settled, and l have other engagements of greater importance to which I must devote my whole time
 These letters got mixed-the letter to Miss K. being addressed to the old lady; the letter to the old lady to Miss K.
 Hearing nothing l was on hand with the horse, and very stOny-faced young lady requested an explanation of the letter Whether the old lady was ready that afternoon never knew, as l sent a clerk to explain matters.
 As a matter of fact, I lost client and very nearly lost a wife
