there would be over 100000 acres
of dry farm lands taken up as home-
steads. Relative to increasing the
homestead from 100 to 800 acres as
agitated at the dry farming congress,
Mr.. Miller stated that he was heartily
in favor of such a change. In sup

a crop each year, tilling first one 100
acre tract and then the other He
cited an instance of this, in that an

Heavy Guns Cause Damage.

Considerable damage has been done at Dover, England, by the firing of the heavy guns from the forts which have been erected to protect the national
 harbor. The town crier was sent round the town to advise the inhabit- ants to leave their windows open, but upon the firing of the nine-inch guns the vibration was so great that in many cases portions of the ceiling fell, many ornaments were knocked down and broken and windows were cracked.
