Our Wasteful Farming.

According to the Duluth Herald. q
waste even greater than the waste
of the forests has been accomplished
in this country by hit-or-miss agricul-
tural methods.
There has been-speaking generally
no thought whatever Of the danger
of soil exhaustion; no thought of in
tensified farming, whereby one acre
can be made to yield the profits of
five under wasteful methods; no
thought of enriching the soil in the
very process Of getting wealth out Of
It.
American farmers, in many cases,
get less out of hundred acres than q
Japanese will get out of five acres.
This is because in Japan. soil Is
scarce and here it is plentiful. But
it will not always be plentiful, and
the time has arrived when the earth
should be titled economically. syste-
matically and scientifically. instead Of
wastefully, aimlessly and ignorantly
The Department Of Agriculture
and in this its functions are purely
paternalistic and socialistic-is doing
a splendid work in awakening the
country to the need of scientific farm
ing and is showing it how to farm
scientifically.

Kansas Dog Branded Loafer.

Ed. Coburn, secretary of the Kan
sas Board Of Agriculture, is very much
opposed to the dog in Kansas. as II
prevents the growing Of sheep. A
farmer in Norton county asked Mr..
Coburn for advice about starting
flock and this is a part of Mr.. Coburns
reply:
Considering the sheep-raising In
vestment, l may say that the people
of your county appear, from the re.
turns by the officials, to be far more
partial to developing the dog industry
than sheep.
For example, they report to this
once that in 1905 the county was cul
tivating 1909 dogs and 152 sheep, and
1906 increased the dogs to LIZA and
reduced the sheep to 142.
"The average canine (your Bob and
Fannie and my Tige and Togo always
excepted, of course) is a worthless
sycophantic. lawn-defiling, fiea-breed
ing. fy-snapping, porch loafer by day.
eQualed by no other domestic animal
in habits of unspeakable nastiness, and
a sneaking, murderous coward, prowl-
ing all the countryside by night, with
a lust for mere wanton slaughter, and
he harmonizes with the harmless, bene-
fcent sheep only after the sheep are
inside his stomach, wool in his teeth
and his Jaws dripping with blood"
Mr.. Coburn is the man who made
Kansas gasp by refusing appointment
to the United States Senate.

tuberculosis Germs in Butter.

The danger from tuberculosis germs
in butter is pointed out in a publica-
ton just issued at Circular 1877 of the
bureau of animal industry, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
This circular reports experiments
made by Dr. e. C. Schroeder and w.
e. Cotton at the bureau experiment
station. Butter was made from the
milk of a tuberculosis cow, and after
being kept for different lengths Of
time il was inoculated into more than
fifty guinea pigs in order to deter
mine how long the germs live and
retain their virulence in butter. With
the exception of five that died prema-
turely from other causes and one that
was killed, all the guinea pigs died Of
generalized tuberculosis, and the one
that was killed was also found affect
ed.
The results Of these experiments
prove conclusively that tubercle bac-
iii may live and retain their viru-
lence in ordinary sailed butter practi.
cally four and a half months, or even
longer, and they give new evidence
of the danger from the use of tuber-
culosis cows for daily purposes.

rubbed his hand down his vest but

dream was but a dream Swinging
around, he rose to sitting posture,

brought his right foot down on the
grass.
Horrors! 1t rested on something
that squirmed and wriggled--a snake!
Undoubtedly cobra, and he was STEP
ping on it! Then he did bold thing.
The snake had not struck, hence his
foot must be on either the head or the
neck, and SO, despite the suddenness
Of the shock, he bore down with all

pumps were thin, and under the in

He was a graduated midshipman.
out of Annapolis long enough to just
begin to suspect that there might be,
somewhere in the world, a command
ing officer who knew as much as he
about things in general, and how a
ship should be run, in particular.
1t was in India, while his ship was
In port for coal on its way to the Phil
ippines, that he had his first real ad-
venture.
India is, above all other places, the
land of strange adventures. Now that
he was there, our hero longed to kill
a tiger or have an adventure with a
cobra
He was not at all modest about
these ambitions. Indeed, he so abused
a young mans privilege of talking
about himself that all his messmates
became experts on killing snakes and
tigers. At last, after much vain wish
ing, he had his adventure with q
cobra. and it happened in this wise:
He and few messmates had put up
1t q hotel some distance from Bonn
bay. After dinner there was q dance
In honor of the ships officers.
He had a waltz with an English girl
who did not consider It good form to
reverse She was not interested In
Manila, knew little about tiger slay.
ing and less about cobras. and all
these limitations, being combined in
one girl, made him tired. Then, too,
she was dark and small and he liked
them blonde and big.
They parted with mutual satisfac-
ton, she going to her chaperon and he
sauntering over the grass Of the com
pound to a secluded spot where q
reclining wicker chair invited repose.
Lying back In this and lighting per-
fecto, he gave himself up to the pleas
ing delight Of passing in mental re-
view all the girls he had ever loved.
Az he was two and twenty, behind
him stretched q long line of expert
ence with broken hearts for mile
stones.
Lulled by the mellow music and
soothed by the cigar, he must have
dozen. for he failed to notice q
stealthy rustic in the grass under his
chair, and was undisturbed by the mo.
tons Of the long. slender thing that
glided this way and that in the grass
and curled itself into sinuous. grace
ful folds.
With start he awoke from an ugly
dream In which a cobra had coiled on
his chest
In the dark he could not recall for
q moment where he was. Then the
distant lights and the music brought
