Eli Smith, who on wager crossed

Eskimo dogs, said the other day in
Philadelphia:
"The secret of good travelling is to
travel light. Don't accumulate a lot OF
rubbish. On the contrary, sort over
your goods every day, and throw away
the surplus.
"This is the spring house, cleaning
season, and I'd like to throw out all
that Junk in the closet at the head of
the cellar stairs. What good is the
old stuff? 1t has been there for years.
1t is plastered thick with cobwebs and
mold.
"I once saw my uncle help his wife

"Uncle holds up rusty tea kettle

"Well. it might come in handy for
a flower or something. aunt falters.

MONEY IN PLANTING TREES.
darlington HaWkeye)


A fine white oak tree which was cut
down near Extra recently, yielded ESQ
fine fence posts and IL cords of stove
wood The total value must have been
considerably beyond 800. At Burling-
ton prices, the cord wood alone would
have been worth $72 There is room
on every farm for a few trees, there is
scarcely building lot anywhere In
town that has not room for a tree or
two. And there are many waste places
everywhere that will grow little of
anything else, but that would grow
trees. 1t may be slow work, but it Is
just like putting money into the saw
ings banks, to plant trees In Iowa. or
for that matter anywhere else In this
country. And no doubt the man who
plants trees this year will be able to
realize on his crop much sooner than
he anticipates and it will yield him
much greater profit than appears
likely to him at the present time.

MIR. BRYAN'S LEAD.
(Dayenport Times)

Mr.. Bryan has comfortable lead
in the number Of delegates instructed
for him among those so far selected
He has 400 delegates: Johnson "a, and
Gray 6. The 212 other delegates that
have been selected are uninstructed,
which means that they will be mostly
against the Nebraskan. But there are
366 delegates yet to be chosen, and
most of them will come from what is
admittedly Bryan territory. Conse-
auently it is believed that Mr.. Bryan
will have no difficulty in getting the
necessary 672 delegates = the two
thirds required for the nomination.

Big Crops Follow Sugar Beets.


The promoters of the sugar beet in
dustry in the corn growing section as
sure us that large crops of grain al
ways follow crop of sugar beets, and
thus leave the impression on the minds
of many farmers that the sugar beet,
like, the clover plant, adds to the fer
tility Of the soil
While the fact of increased produce
ton is as stated, the conclusion Is en-
tirely erroneous. The sugar beet is
really an exhaustive crop; not the
sugar part of it, for that like the carbo-
hydrates and fat of corn, is drawn
entirely from the air; but the plant
itself apart from it's sugar content is
soil exhauster, as shown by the fact
that on most soils it must be grown in
rotation with other crops.
Why then does sugar beet land al
ways grow splendid crops the year
following? Simply because in order to
grow sugar beets successfully you
must give it garden culture. 1t is the
improvement of the physical condition
by deep blowing. thorough disking.
frequent cultivation and what is al
most equivalent to a second blowing,
the lifting of the beets, that enables
crops following to grow beyond the
farmers expectation. If the land is
given the same thorough cultivation
with any other crop, the results will
be similar but not Identical For there
are crops that are soil exhausters to
greater extent than sugar beets; oats,
for instance.
The lesson to be learned from this
is simply the Importance of thorough
cultivation of the soil before planting
any crop, if you are to receive profit
from that years cultivation.

wANTED-DEMocRAr1c ORGAN.


One of the most peculiar facts In the
realm of actual knowledge is the lack
of real democratic newspaper in the
city of Chicago. Since the passing of
the Chronicle, the Hearst publications
are the only ones aside from the In
dependent and republican organs that
are of any prominence. And yet
Chicago is normally e. democratic city
and not very long ago Illinois had a
democratic United States senator, gov
ernor, and gave it's electoral votes to
a democratic presidential candidate
Can Mr.. Bryan's ideas and leadership
have had anything to do with regard
to the cause of this situation? 1t will
also be recalled that when his star was
first seen, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio,
New York, New Jersey, Delaware, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and per-
l1aps some other states had more dem
ocratic senatorial strength than they
now have. Indeed is 1T not time for
democrats to take an inventory or
what they have lost, and endeavor to
ascertain the reason?

stock will leave corn to eat speltz.
N. F. Crouch, of McCook county. s. D.,
says that last year he fed nearly 1000
bushels and seemingly it did both
cattle and hogs as much good as the
corn did, and all the stock would
leave the corn for the speltz. A. d.
Whitney, Pembina county, N. D., gives
about the same experience, altho
the corn fed was of a rather poor
quality. For poultry, many claim 1t
is fully equal to corn, but we have
found it little difficult to get our
poultry to eat it readily. We have
noticed that whenever the stock or
poultry become accustomed to eating
it they seemed to take to it better,
particularly if it was fed little
damp. Some make a practice Of soak
ing it before feeding to hogs, and
others before feeding 1t to anything.
Being a very hard grain, cracking or
grinding has made it more satisfac-
tory to some for some kinds Of stock.

Effect Of Cows Health on Milk.

Some English scientists have been
experimenting for many years on dairy
cows, and have discovered that when
COW is in full milk and full flesh
she will give her normal quantity Of
milk for at least limited time, even
though the quantity is very deficient
When in a good condition the COW
will take off her body whatever is de-
ficient in food, in order to make her
normal quantity of milk.
An extra supply of nutritious food
at all times increases the quantity Of
milk, but the percentage of fat is not
in any way improved by it; If any
thing, the tendency is The other way.
An extra supply Of nutritious food
almost always invariably increases
slightly the solids, not the fat of the
milk. A ration poor in food ingredients
has a very slight tendency to reduce
the solids, not the fat in milk, and
has little appreciable effect on the fat.
With poor ration a COW in full
weight will lose carcass weight, while
on rich diet she will gain weight
Altho the percentage of fat in a
cows milk may vary daily, we at
present seem unable to control these
variations or to account for them.
For limited periods, up to one month
or thereabouts, all ordinary quantities
and qualities of food seem to have no
material effect on the quality of the
milk.
Some foods exercise a material effect
in raising the melting point of but
ter.
The aim of all producers of milk,
butter, or cheese should be to feed
what will give quantity, and of
mixed nature, and the product will be
the best that the COW can give
Extra quality must be looked for by
improving the breed and by judicious
selection, rather than by any special
foods or any methods of feeding.
The variation in the percentage OF
fat in cows milk is caused by some
thing, but what that something is we
at present do not know. If we did we
would be able to influence the quality
of milk.

developed in the Mayfower Builfrog
Consolidated property, situated in the
immediate vicinity of the big Pioneer
strike. demonstrates that the Pioneer
is not to share alone the honors of the
Crystal Springs section of the district.
Here are some figures with which the
public is not familiar, but which are
vouched for by the Mayfower officials;
The ~company's ear samples from
everything extracted from the two
raises above the 30O-foot level averaged
$500 per ton in gold. The average
sampling of the top of the north raise
gave returns of 1927 per ton in gold,
and the sampling of the top Of the south
raise gave returns of s3s.40 in gold.
The eompany's ear samples of the ore
extracted from the main drift on the
800 level, for $50 feet in length, aver
aged s15.25 per ton in gold.

BONANZA STRIKE
IN THE ORC BELLE

The north drift from the main adit
of Orc Belle No. l continues to develop
sensational values with almost every
foot of work. For several weeks the
Ore Belle Mines company, under the SUI
perintcndency of J.. II. Hartness, has
been sacking ore from the bonanza lead,
but the usual high values which have
prevailed for a distance of over 90 feet
are being superseded by even better
values.
On Thursday over three feet of ore
showing in the face of the drift was
of a sacking grade, while a streak one
foot in width was in a class by itself,
ASSAY values from which showed the
latter to average $500 to the ton. The
balance that is finding it's way into
sacks runs about $5c a ton.
The south drift in this same ore shoot
has been sent in 80 feet, making a total
of 100 feet of drifting in ore, the whole
averaging better han the usual run of
values found in a number of the eoun-
try's big gold mines. Besides having
a large amount of milling ore in sight,
considerable shipping ore is being en-
countered.-Hart Enterprise.
