Ranthes In the West,

The great 10000 and $4,000 acre
ranches all over the west are disap-
pearlng under the invasion of the
farmers who are satisfied with 100 or
zoo acres OF land and who are making
these little patches remarkably pro-
ductive, says Denver Field and Farm.
The time Is not very remote when
ranches will be unknown and when the
country now monopolized by them will
be broken up into moderate sized
farms. The rise In the value of farm
ing land Is steady, and In few years
land which for Il decade or two has
had only nominal value Will COM
mand from $50 to 500 an acre. In
the Irrigated sections of Colorado land
adapted to fruit growing Is selling
from 5000 to $1,000 an acre. Sugar
beet lands near factories bring 500 to
800. Good potato lands are worth
300 and upward, and the best canta.
loupe growing lands sell readily at
$500. Experts make annually n net
profit of from 10 to 25 per cent ON this
bly, priced land

Satisfactory Returns In Growing the

..An instance of where Connecticut
river valley farmers are making farm

of Arthur Hobart Of Franklin county,
Mass, last fall From two and q half
acres Of his land there was harvested
2.050 bushels OF Yellow Globe Danvers
onions. These sold at 30 cents bush
el or more at the time Of harvest. and
in the entire lot there was not more
than ten bushels Of small onions. Fer
tilizer was applied at the rate of one
ton of high grade to the acre. This
cost about $45. The field was taken
on shares. and Mr.. Hobart figures that |
the rent Of the land for the year re-
turned him s125.

POWER OF SUPERSTITION.
New York worker Among the IgnOr-
ant Finds 1t Hard TO
Combat.

Superstition is a force to be reck-
.oned with and not despised by those
who labor for the good of the poor
on the East side, as all college set
Element workers will testify, says
the New York Tribune. A philan-
thropic woman tells the following
experiences;
A poor Italian housewife, living in
Mulberry street, had swelling of
the knee. She told me of her trou-
BILE, and gave her the address of a
free dlspensary, where she went for
treatment. The treatment did not
cure her, and she drew out from the
savings bank a large part of her lit
tie hoard OF savings, and in spite of
all my protests paid it to a gypsy
woman on the outskirts of Brooklyn
for a charm. This charm consisted
of piece Of parchment, on which
were written some queer characters.
The whole was tied up in little bag
and was suspended by string
around the patients neck. When
she showed IL TO me / laughed the
thing to scorn and tried to show her
how foolish she was to pay hard
earned money 10 a miserable quack.
] could not convince her of her folly,
however, and so gave up the effort,
trusting TO time to prove me right.
The neighbors of the woman with
the swollen knee soon heard of her
gypsy charm, and one of them who
had an eruption on the skin which
had long defied the power Of medi-
cine to remove il begged for a copy
of the charm. The first woman was
ready to do this favor TO her fellow
sufferer. and as neither could read
nor write they used a ten-year-old
son of ogs of them to make the
copy. This boy had been attending
public school. and his parents were
exceedingly proud OF his ability to
read and write american" But
the lad could make nothing of the
gypsy writing on the parchment.
He was equal 60 the occasion, how
ever, and showed he had the making
of true American, for he would not
acknowledge defeat. What he wrote
was: This is know good"
1t YVES rot until some time after
ward that heard OF this, when the
woman with the skin trouble was
showing me the copied charm. When
I saw the trick the boy had played
on both of them | thought my vim
dication had truly come. But when
l explained It all TO her, she met me
with the Touchdown argument;
well, miss Il cured us both"
What could / say TO that?
