Literary Theft Is Not Stealing; It Is
Called Genius.

All authors steal The capacity for
stealing with art and elegance is one
of the most potent equipments of the
literary man.
Shakespeare was a magnificent thief.
He stole whatever he could lay his
hands on in a literary way and never
married in the stealing. He stole
Measure For Measure" from Il play
called ''Promos and Cassandra" He
stole Hamlet from play by George
Kyd. Romeo and Juliet" he stole
from Italy.
Sir Walter Scott stole with Il sublime
talent. He stole from antiquarian rec
ords. He stole from Goethe He stole
from Sheridan.
Charles Reade claimed the right of
the literary artist to set jewels, even
though the gems are the property Of
another
Alexandra Dumas. the author of
The Three Musketeers" and Monte
Crsto." was one of the most remarkn-
BILE filchcrs in literature. In one single
year his name was attached to no few
er than forty different books. Not only
did he steal unbushingly from every
" nv NahiC but he CHI
ployed numerous literary ghosts and
passed Off their work as his own.
Brought to book, he had ready re-
ply. 'The man of genius does not
steal.' he said; "he only conquers"
Alexander Pope, who made thou
sands of pounds by his poetic transla-
ton of Homer's "Iliad," was an indif-
ferent Greek scholar. In addition to
stealing from previous translators, he
employed others to help and then
claimed the whole work as his own.
When he translated "The Odyssey"
he kept the public in ignorance that
only twelve books could be called his
and that the rest were the work of men
whom he paid badly.
The arguments in Pope's Essay on
Man" were furnished by Lord Boiling
broke, and his Essay on Criticism
was a poetic version of the conversa-
ton of his intimates.

Need and Needs.

Perhaps many persons have wonder
ed why we are taught to say He need
not do that" instead of "He needs not
do that" as the singular pronoun. he,
requires under ordinary conditions the
singular form of the verb. The reason
is that In sentence of that kind, a
negative sentence. expressing require
ment or obligation. need becomes nm
auxiliary and takes no change of termi-
nation in the third person singular.
This exception is laid down In the
grammars.-Chicago News.

aMTS FOR FARMERS


In the experience gained at the Mis-
souri, experiment station Professor
Forbes says that corn supplemented
with wheat middlIngs and ollmeal
makes the best and cheapest ration for
fattOnlng hogs. He says: "FOr dry lot
or pen feeding Of hogs the cheapest
feed Is corn supplemented by wheat
middlings or Oilmeal At the Missouri
station We have made hundred
pounds Of pork from five parts Of thir-
ty cent corn and one part of twenty
four dollar Olimeal at a cost of $275
per hundredweight. At the same time
we made q hundred pounds Of pork
from two parts of corn and one part Of
fifteen dollar wheat Iniddlings at q
cost OF $2.98. In the same experiment
corn alone made pork ut cost of $3.G3
per hundredweight."
When pasture can be provided pork
can be made the most economically on
It. Professor Forbes says: Expert

making it available as plant food. In
this respect they rank close to clover
and alfalfa and have the additional ad-
vantage of being able to grow on land
where no one would even think Of SOW
ing alfalfa.
Like the other legumes, they may
need to have the soil inoculated with
bacteria, ana this may be done either
by scattering dirt from good cowpea
field over the patch to be sown or prob
ably by scattering the manure Of ami
mails fed on cowpea hay. When inOcu-
lated they will fix as much nitrogen in
the soil in 60 to 110 days as clover Will
In eighteen months.
The nodules on the roots Of a cow
pea, the top Of which was thirteen
inches high and bore ten pods, are
shown in the accompanying picture.
On stronger land the yield of peas was
less per plant and there were fewer
nodules on the roots, owing to the fact
that the richer soil went more to the
development of big vines, some Of
them being four feet long. From this
it is easily seen that the fertilIzing
value Of the root decreases as the soil
increases in richness, while the con-
trary is true of the fertllizing value Of
the top.
The picture shows more plainly than
can be told in words the benefit to be
doniu hry wi hn 20 tn
the ground when the crop is harvested.
In order to prevent as much as posi-
BILE the waste Of nitrogen by evapora-
tion and the washing of soil by storms
the field can be seeded to rye immedi-
ately after harvest. The rye will ab-
sOrb the fertilizing properties as they
become free and keep them in storage
till spring, when it can be plowed un-
der, giving the soil not only the fertil-
ity gathered by cowpeas, but also that
gathered by the rye, with the addition
Of humus, of which our poorer fields
are greatly in need.
COwpeas will not grow In a cold soil,
but will lie there and soon rot. For
this reason they should not be planted
until two or three weeks after corn
planting time. Stir up good seed
bed and double the rows with a corn
planter, put In shallow and SOW Ave
to eight quarts per acre. These will
have to be cultivated two or three
times, but you should not plow them
while they are wet either from rain or
dew or the dirt will stick to them and
they will rot. If you use the drill, SOW
three to FIVE pecks per acre, putting
them about otN and one-half inches
deep. They will need no further cult
walton unless there comes rain before
they get through the ground. In case
Of rain harrow lightly to break the
crust or most Of them will fail to get
through.

why Governor Hughes might be
selected as his running mate, and
if these reasons should be con-
trolling Mr.. Hughes personal
desires would not be considered,
any more than were those of Gov
ernor Roosevelt in 1900. He
would strengthen the Republican

bUKUM WHEAT.
A Grain That Is Steadily Increasing In
Popularity.

There is a steadily increasing pro-
duction Of durum wheat In northern
Minnesota aud North Dakota and In
the arid or semiarid sections Of other
states.
The big Touring mills have not as yet
adapted their machinery to the proper
grinding of durum wheat. says an ex-
pert They find the grain too rich in
gluten and too hard for their present
installment of rollers The elevator
men don't handle it freely because it
necessitates special bins But the ex-
pOrters take 1t eagerly.
Durum is sometimes called macaroni
wheat because its main use up to this
time has been for the manufacture of
macaroni. The French. however, who
are accounted the best cooks in the
world, have employed II quite exten-
sively in breadmaking. and 1t is as
serted that the bread made from 1t is
most nutritious as well as light and
appetizing. There is no reason why it
DCs
Gluten is a muscle former. In 100
ounces of lean beefsteak there are
eighteen parts of muscle formers. In
100 ounces of ordinary bread there are
seven to eight ounces of muscle FORM
ers. In 100 ounces of potatoes two
ounces. in 100 ounces OF milk four, but
In 100 ounces of macarOni or bread
made from durum wheat there are
said to be from eighteen to twenty
ounces of muscle forming material.
Admitting the food value Of this va
riety of wheat, the temptation to the
farmer to whose land 1t is adapted
is almost irresistible when wheat to
plant is chosen 1t is plant that
stands drought much better than other
wheat 1t is so hardy and thrifty
that it is usually exempt from rust
and smut and bugs.
The average yield Is high, often from
so to 100 per cent greater than that OF
the old varieties of wheat grown in
the same district. 1t seems certain
that durum Is destined to prove q
blessing to the farmers.
