Shorty" Jessup says those post
season games are sure things al
though he can not tell much about the
probable lineup just now. All the
bugs would like to hear anything that
listens like an echo from base ball
park and even a speck of dust off the
diamond in the left optic would not be
wiped out.
Have you noticed this season how
little attention the metropolitan dali
les are paying to the few race meets?
Is this a reflection of public senti-
ment?
The ex-college player" has not been
so prominent in base ball this season
as for some years past. Is this
blow at the coaches of the country or
an indication of improved scholarship.
Wonder If those Earlham football
players, who are selling aluminium
cooking utensils this vacation will try
any ringer" tactics to prove the
genuiness of their wares.

All through the continent Of Africa
the natives have very perfect system
Of signaling with drums. by which
means they rap out messages from vii
lage to village, and it is quite wonder
full how swiftly and how far they are
able to spread news.
The drumming is always done at
night, when sound travels farther, and
as one lies awake on a still, clear
night the ear is often gently assailed
by the low, musical roll from a drum
in the village near, and one waits with
pleasant expectancy till the answering
echo comes. muffled by distance, from
a village sometimes two miles away

CARE OF SEPARATOR CREAM.
1t Should Be Cooled as Fast az II
Comes from the Machine.

The ideal way Of cooling separator
cream is to have 1t run from the cream
spout of the separator directly over a
water cooler. This should reduce the
temperature to as near SO degrees
Fahrenheit as possible. The cream
must then be kept at temperature
below 60 degrees Fahrenheit by set
ting the clean cans in cold water. 1t
should be gathered for delivery to the
factory as often as every other day in
the hot summer weather. When a
cream cooler is not used the cream
cans should not be over six inches in
diameter and by setting these cans in
cold water the temperature should be
reduced to 60 degrees Fahrenheit or
below. This must be done at once and
in order to hasten the cooling. the
cream should be frequently stirred.

strong wire handle two feet long

If the cellar needs ventilation, and
1t generally does, open the doors and

daytime. Have screens to keep out
cats, rats, etc.
Stir the earth. Remember the agi-
tation is death to all wrongs of the
soil. Man never devised a more USE
full and valuable instrument than the
hoe in all its forms.
The greatest aid of all is your faith

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Labor Day was very generally OBJ.
served in Washington. All public
buildings, banks and most places of
business were closed. There were
many spa-ting events. including a re-
gatta on ;ne upper Potomac river.
Want" advertisements have been
found helpful by the Navy Department
in its recruiting work, and hereafter
most of The money available for that
purpose will be spent in that class If
advertising. Considerable success IN
some sections of the country, however,
has attended the use of circular letters
inviting men to enlist.
The recent agitation in Washington
over the Early leprosy case and in
Arizona over the case of Mrs. General
Wardwell, who was similarly afflicted,
will it is believed by officials of the
public health and marine hospital SER
vice, lead to a renewed effort to OBJ
tain the establishment at some place
in the United States of a national lep-
rosarium for the isolation and treat
ment of leprosy.
Surgeon Gen. Wyman of the public
health and marine service, has issued
in pamphlet form paper prepared by
giving a history of the spread of bu-
bonic plague during the last fourteen
years. 1t appears by the report that
during 1907, 156 cases of plague with
76 deaths occurred at San Francisco.
There were also few cases at Oak
land and other close neighbors of San
Francisco. AT Seattle the report says
three fatal cases occurred last October.
The receipts from customs duties
during August, 1908, amounted to $22,.

as compared with August. 1907. The
receipts from internal revenue sources,
however, show a falling off of about
$2,O00,00O as compared with July. 1908,

WHEN NITROGEN is LACKING.
Appearance Of the Plants an indloa.
tion Of the Deficiency.

In the absence of nitrogen the plant
makes no appreciable growth. With
only limited supply, the plant COM
mences to grow in normal way, but
as soon as the available nitrogen is
used up, the lower and smaller leaves
begin gradually to die down from the
tips and all the plants energy is CEN
tered in one or two leaves. Nitrogen
is one of the main constituents of pro-
tein. which is possibly the most val
liable part of plant. 1t is also q
constituent of chlorophyll, the green
coloring matter Of plants; hence with
limited supply Of nitrogen, the
leaves will have sickly yellow color.
Plants with large, well-developed
leaves are not suffering for nitrogen.
An abundance of this substance will
produce luxuriant growth of leaf
and stem, but 1t will retard maturity,
and, with cereals, will frequently
cause the crop to lodge" Therefore,
when crops, such as cereals, tomatoes,
potatoes, etc., are to be matured, an
over supply of nitrogen is injurious;
but with crops, such as lettuce, cab
bage, etc., which are harvested in the
green condition, an abundance of nj
trogen will, other fertilizing constitu.
ents being present, tend to produce
strong, vigorous growth and give
crispness or quality to these crops

there It may be taken out with a
"spud." which is simply a two-inch
chisel with handle, by means of
which the farmer can cut out rapidly

EVAPORATION.
.Pisys Very Large Part In All Agra
cultural Processes.

Evaporation plays a very large part
In all agricultural processes. The
rapidity with which evaporation goes
on determines to a large extent the
rapidity Of growth. 1t should be evil
dent to any person that the building
up OF plant can progress only as fast
as the food can be carried to it, and
this food can be carried only as fast
as the water moves in the plant, as
all plant food is held In solution in
the liquid that carries it.
The evaporation from the surfaces
OF the plant supplies the motive pow
er for the liquid that is in the internal
portions Of the plants II the day is
a hot one and the atmosphere is dry,
the drying up of the moisture on the
plant leads to the instant supply of
more moisture by the plant, and this
is an important factor in the process
Of sap movement.
That is the reason that in humid
climates where the sky is obscured by
clouds for large part OF the time, the
processes of growth are SO slow that
many things fail to ripen In an ordi-
nary season. explains Farmers Re-
view. The farmer sometimes COM
plains at long period of unclouded
sky; but If his plants have enough
water to supply their needs they are
making an unusually rapid growth in
the time in which they are receiving
an unusual amount of sunshine.
1t Is for this reason that the wealth
er bureaus now supply data as to
percentage of sunshine during a given
period. Thus In recent report of
the Illinois weather bureau 1t was
stated that for the week covered by
the report the amount of sunshine
was IS per cent, which meant that
the amount of sunshine strongly at
fects the evaporation, and this In turn
affects the development of crops.
Under bright sunshine crops develop
more rapidly than under clouded
skies.

enough to go between the posts set,
and solid post sawed off at one side
two feet above the ground. The mid
die rib Of the gate is left long enough
to rest on this low post. 1t must be
thick to take a pin or an iron bolt

other end, explains Farm and Home,
it is worked down to act as an axle

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

Already the comedy element in the
presidential campaign Is cropping
out, and the comedians are not mere
" the horn blowers and organ grind.
ers, but men in high places.
Both parties are protesting a great
desire for campaign publicity-that
is, both express the purpose of hav-
ing the people know exactly who con-
tribute to the campaign fund of each
of the great parties. 1t can be assum-
ed, speaking of the past. neither par
ty wants these secrets revealed.
There are skeletons in the closet, and
they have untold terrors for party
managers.
As matter of fact, in the past
both organizations have been equally
guilty, though both may not have
been equally successful in their ap-
peals to corporations for money TO
run the campaign. II we were TO
Judge of things done in 1898, say,
or in 1892, or in 1883, by the higher
standards of political action in 1908,
some party managers would suffer in
public esteem. The public does not
often make mistakes of this kind.
though superficial observers imagine
that it does.
The people are more concerned
about the present campaign than
they are about any campaigns of the
past They want some assurance
from party leaders that certain
abuses are to be eliminated, that GER
tain evil practices are to be aban-
doned.
Mr.. Bryan is no doubt an astute
party manager. He is better than
this. He is a man of earnest con-
victions. though he often mistakes
his own conclusions for economic
laws.
But when he gave to the public
his letter to Mr.. Taft asking that he
unite in a demand upon congress to
pass a law requiring publicity, Mr..
Bryan was playing politics of the
comical kind. The contrast between
his course and Mr. Taft's is striking
What Mr.. Bryan did in May at the
end of congress. when success was
almost impossible. Taft was do
ing month earlier. The difference is
that Mr.. Bryan went through the
performance on the public stage; Mr.
Taft wrote a personal letter to a
party leader having in it no assump-
ton of dictation and no intimation
that he had a right to speak as the
chosen leader of his party associ-
ates. He told Mr. Burrows that he
believed publicity would largely re-
strain the corruptions of political
campaign, and therefore he hoped
that congress would make publicity
obligatory.
The publication of this letter OF
Judge Taft was called for by the pub.
LEGATION of Mr.. Bryan's appeal to
Judge Taft. The Democratic news
papers are striving nightly to breal
the force of this response, but theil
seriousness rather adds to the hu
morous phases of the episode. II
itself the occasion is not important
it is only interesting as illustratin.
the way some men play politics. w,
can be certain that If Mr.. Bryan ha,
known of this letter to Mr. Burrows
he never would have called for it b.
a public appeal TO Judge Taft.
