BATTLING With Nature.

There is no country on earth where
the hand of man has titled the soil
long and continuously that he has not
ruined it. And if we here in America
shall teach the world how to use the
land without abusing 1t We will have
written a new page In history. We
have made ourselves name that
will live forever, not only as agricul'
turists. but in the history of the pro
gress Of the world. Why not do it!
1t is a nerve-racking business when
we fight humanity. In lawsuit even
when the ends of justice have pre-
valIeu. one side goes home licked, :
and III sorrow. But If you go out and
battle with nature, working in &C
cordance with her laws, doing your
best, and learning the methods by
which you may make an old, worn
out farm, producing 81 bushels OF
corn per acre, produce 80 bushels to
the acre, you have defeated nobody,
YOU have not made anybody feel bad
On the other hand you have helped
yourself, and taught your neighbor
to do great good for his country
You raise better colt or better hog
than has ever been raised in your
neighborhood before and you have
helped that whole township as well
as yourself. From address by Judge

GOOD FORTUNE CAME TOO LATE.
Lifelong Unfortunate Killed Himself
at Moment of Luck's Turn.

A French provincial newspaper tells
story of the irony of fate. The hero
was a notary's clerk, named Lemer-
cier. who had a remarkable series of
reverses of fortune.
He seems to have been hoodoo,
for something was bound to go wrong
with every firm he joined in the ca
pacity of clerk or cashier. Always i'll
paid and wretchedly unhappy, the
youth was in turn gardener, por-
ter, carter and anything else that
enabled him to buy bread, till after
Is years of a hand-to-mouth struggle
he returned to his native village Of
Breval, near Nantes, and was taken
in by charitable person. In vain
he sought for work, and he contracted
some unavoidable small debts.
The other morning an imperative
knocking at the door announced the
emissaries of the law. The wretched
Lemercier barricaded himself in and
then hanged himself. When lock-
smith had broken open the door Lee
mercier was dead. The intruder had
not come to arrest him, but to an
nounce that distant relative had left
him legacy of $4,000.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
what ls Your COW WORTH

What Is Your Cow WORTH
We wish we could get every farmer
and every farmers son to take day
OF and figure cut what his COW is
worth. That. Of course. depends on
what you have in view in keeping her,
what work you expect her to do.
If you are milking her and she gives
lao pounds or less of butter fat, 1t Is
very easy to determine what she is
worth for that purpose. On lands In
the corn belt it will cost from $2S to
$35 to keep COW during the year. II
she does not give more than that value
in butter fat, then for dairy purposes
she is not worth a nickel. We give
the cost as above, because we notice
that in the COW censuses that have
been taken that is the estimated price
given by their keepers.
A COW not worth nickel for dairy
purposes had best be allowed to raise
her calf; and then the question is
whether that calf at weaving time
will be worth $50, Ordinarily it will
be worth from $40 to SIS. Therefore
the question whether 1t pays to keep
an average COW for the chance of an
average calf on lanes in the corn
belt is easily determined.
Suppose, however. she gives 200
pounds of butter fat and say it is
worth one year with another 20 cents
pound Then your cow is making
you a profit in butter fat of about $40
year and giving you a calf, which,
after deducting the cost of feeding 1t
until it is six months DID, is worth
$40 to $12 Then you have the skim
milk, say 1000 pounds, worth from
Is to 20 cents per 100 pounds, de-
pending on the price of corn, or from
Sc to $40 You still have the manure,
which if properly cared for is worth
Sc year. If your COW gives still
larger amount of butter fat than this
you can very easily estimate the pro-
fit,
What We are aiming at now Is to
get farmers to thinking about this
question: What is your COW worth?
How are you to find out? Why, there
is only one way; and that is to take
time to weigh the milk often enough
to determine how much each cow gives
durig the year, and then test 1t often
enough to determine the actual amount
of butter fat each gives. If we can
only get you to do this the rest will
be easy. but until farmers who are
pretending to dairy at all take this
matter up and determine what the
COW is worth it is useless to expect
any great improvement in the dairy
business.

How to Drive out Your Rats and Mice.

How to Drive Out Your Rats and Mice.
Get a lO-cent can Of concentrated I've
and sprinkle 1t literally in every rat
or mouse run possible. Do this about
twice year.
Rats, as is well known, frequent
moist places beneath floors, and their
feet are always moist. AS soon as they
step on the lye it causes their feet to
burn: then they lick their feet, and
there is more burn; If they smell Of it
there is still more burn; and they inn
mediately emigrate. This have
found far more effective than traps,
dogs. cats or pofsons, and It does as
we'll for mice as rats
Here is another idea, which, while
not original Is much value, as little
bit OF prevention is worth lots Of cure.
IL the farmers will have on hand a
few pounds Of pulverized sulphur, and
s,rinkle some over their corn az they
are putting It in the cribs they viii
have few or no mice or rats In the
corn. The sulphur does not affect the
corn in the least, even for meal

RoREs AT PUBLIC GATHERINGS,
Protest Against Prosy Utterers OF
Dreary Commonplace.

Those who impute to us a national
lack of patience and politeness must
admit that there are occasions upon
which we deserve long mark for self
restraint and kindly consideration Of
the feelings of our tormentors. I'm
doubtedly altruism is one of the finest
jewels in the moral crown, but it has
its limits, and at the close of sea-
son that has abounded in lectures and
debates it seems fitting time to pro
test against their being stretched be-
yond the point of human endurance by
downright bores in the shape of chair
men and speakers, who vocally am6le
on and on while their audiences, how
ever they may chafe inwardly at the
waste of time and mental irritation,
begotten of dreary rehearsing of
commonplaces, sit as patiently as
dumb puppets.
In private their victims discuss the
advisability of stiff civil service
course for chairmen who apparently
are of the firm conviction that they
are expected to make the longest adj
dresses of the occasion over which
they preside, and certainly they as
we'll as other speakers frequently
stand in need of training in the direc-
ton of much thought and few words.
