levelino the Meadow.

Every one that has tried to NOV
heavy clover knows what nuisance
gopher mounds are in the fields. One
can trap or poison the gophers, but
that does not level off the mounds that
were thrown up last fall or early this
spring. Where there are not too
many one can readily level them with
a shovel; but where the field.sis large
and many mounds are to be found, it
is advisable to do 1t by horse power.
We have often used float or planker
for this purpose. One does not have
to go over the whole field, but only the
spots that have been worked over
have in two hours time with a
team and clod crusher or leveler gone
over a large field. This should be
done before the grass has made any
great start and will well pay. as a
sickle in mower can not be kept in
shape where 1t Is continually cutting
thru gopher mounds. Where the land
is sandy or gravelly 1t greatly aggra-
Yates the trouble. The driver can
usually see these mounds in thin grass
and raise the mower bar In time to
slide over them, but in heavy clover
it Is Impossible to see them in adj
vance. 1t not only ruins the mower
knife, but also adds greatly to the draft
of the mower. as 1t Is impossible to
keep q mower in cutting condition on
ground OF this nature.

GAMBLING AWAY FORTUNES.

That was a pathetic story told in a
Des Moines court when Bennett Seigel,
as defense against his creditors. adj
mitted that he had lost 100000 within
six years playing poker in the gambling
Joints Of the capital city. 1t was also
the extenuating plea of very foolish
man. Seigel saw his fortune slipping
from him, and continued to buck the
other fellows game. He had one chance
in a thousand to recoup his losses, took
the chance and lost.
1t is immaterial that Seigel was
Jewish pawnbroker and amassed his
fortune from the misfortune Of others.
It is very material that Seigel gambled.
md that lax enforcement OF the laws
permitted him to do so. He Is one only
II thousands who have travelled the
yame road to moral and financial ruin.
Poker and some of its kindred games
re the easiest road to poverty, with
he possible exception Of the bucket
hop. Gaming is a disease, insidious
II it's development and malignant IN
IS growth. The gambling germ seems
Q possess tentacles which seldom are
aosened, once they find lodgment in
ne brain OF man.
The penchant for gambling has
wrought more ruin in the financial and
usiness world and has brought power
y to as many homes as have alcoholic
'suors. Men OF stronger minds and
.eater power to resist evil than seig-
/ possessed have tread its velvety
nth. Gambling dens exist in major
v of our large cities because of the
vorable public sentiment on which
,e saloon relies. They have no legal
landing III any state, city. or town,
nd where they flourish 1t is because
tolerant and frequently corrupt pub
officials and peace officers
seigers unfortunate experiences
Mould not be possible. The awakening
loral sentiment may in time elect city
fficials who will drive the gamblers
ut OF the state. Until it does so the
,auperizing OF the Des Moines man
nd resultant losses to his creditors
',ould be "a warning to others to stick
their own game of business or en-
,loyment and avoid infection from the
.ambling disease.

poE...PoET AND MAN.

While the centennial OF Edgar Allen
Zoe, the famous American poet OF
.Nevermore." can not be held until
January 10, next, arrangements have
,lready been begun to fittingly cele-
orate the advent of his great and fan
,iful mind. In Baltimore, which claims
20 be his home, memorial exercises
will be held, but Boston and several
,ther cities, in which Poe resided dur
ng his migrating and unhappy days,
will try to establish claims to renoWn
as being the place Of Poe's origin, SO
that the public is likely to enjoy more
than one celebration Of his birth.
However. the Importance Of his career
and works as a poet are conceded.
In some of the literature that has
been circulated anent the Poe festival
It is said that '"The United States owes
more to Poe than to any other Ameri-
ran writer inasmuch as three genera
tons have accepted his poetry and
prose, for which neither money was
paid to the producer in life nor de-
cent respect to his memory after
DEATH"
Poe's personal conduct was such as
to cast a. cloud Of disgust upon his
memory as poet and If he has not
received his due reward as a writer it
is because of the charity which tries
to forget The claim now made that
Poe was better than he has been
painted is to be encouraged but not
believed until much stronger in fact.
His day was practical age as we'll
as this and people of his time recog-
nized genius as well as stability OF
character in man. How were they
misled?
Those who knew Of the trials of his
adopted parents which caused them to
ship him and of the troubles with his
wife, have left us record which will
be difficult to erase. His writings, tho,
will never fade and the centennial cele-
orators can produce more Illumination
over Poe as poet than Poe as man.
1t would be better not to try to erase
the inscriptions of history. Poe was a
great writer of pose, possibly as great
as of poverty but it is mere extrava-
gance to assert that America owes

A Pumpkin Patch.

Northwestern Agriculturalist)
After the corn is in you will have
time to manure a piece heavily and
plant 1t to pumpkins. They should
not be put in until all danger of
frost is over, as a frost will kill a
pumpkin plant df it strikes it. Ground
should be very rich for pumpkins
so that they will grow right along
when once out of the ground.
Plant in hills eight or ten feet
apart both ways, using about four
times as many seeds to the hills as
you want vines. Three vines are
enough in each hill to let grow; but
by planting thickly it always gives
you q good stand even If the cut
worms or the striped bugs take a
few. Thin out just before the vines
start to run. Don't cultivate too
close or too deep after the vines
make any considerable growth.
There is nothing that will put
sheep, pigs, calves or, grown cattle in
better trim for winter than a good
feed of pumpkins every day from the

Trimming Fruit Trees.

There Is wide difference in the
ing the trimming Of their trees Some
maintain that the trees should be
headed three to four feet high while
others are very positive that they
should grow bush shaped. The cul-
tivated orchard must be SO trimmed
that tillage implements and horses
can be worked amongst the trees.
This will require a stem at least three
to four feet free from branches. The
Wealthy and similar varieties having
q tender bark are quite sure to sun
scald more or less before the top will
protect the trunk when the trees are
headed high above the ground.
We believe it is a mistake to do
much trimming after the trees are
we'll shaped, especially with the up
right growing varieties. The Wealthy,
Whitney, Peerless, ETC.. may be headed
very low because they are not inclined
to spread their branches while grow
ing The Hibernal, Patterns Greening,
Strawberry Crab, ETC.. require much
higher trunks because they are inclined
to spread rather than grow upright.
1t has been well demonstrated that
the bush-shaped tree Is the most pro-
ductive and usually much more healthy
than the one growing on single
stalk. This Is due to the protection
secured from the large branches with
their dense foliage which prevents
sunscald and retains moisture in the
soil about the tree Fruit Is much more
easily and cheaply gathered from trees
that are allowed to grow bush shaped.
Do not remove any limbs from the
branches unless they cross and injury
is sure to result from friction and later
decay.
The sum shines so brightly in the
dry. clear atmosphere of the northwest
that fruit will develop and color when
1t Is growing on the inside Of the tree
tops. This is not true in the east and
south, hence Of necessity they prune
much more severely than do fruit
growers In the northwest.

Judgment of the Grinnell Register. "A
few dry bones are likely to rattle when
Cummins lands in the senate"
According to the Buffalo Center
Tribune "one great blessing that
comes from doing thing is the in
creased power that it gives to do
something else. OF course in a moral
sense this is a blessing only when one
is engaged in right doing. When such
is the case the influence exerted be-,
comes greater in intensity and area

people derive benefit"

Telephones for Farmers.

The Northwestern Telephone Ex-
change Company of Minnesota pro-
poses that farmers build their own tel
ephone lines on the following grounds:
A. Farmers need have no expense
for right-of-way, for. II necessary, they
can set the poles on their own land.
B. Farmers can furnish teams cheap
er than the company can hire them.
G.. Farmers can furnish labor on the
spot cheaper than the company can
transport men and board them. When
the farmers cooperate, Some who have
more money than time, can contribute
money and others who have more time
farmer so poor that he cannot do his
share in building the line and keep

II he does not contribute dollar
in money.
d. The company has to pay In

follows:
THE subject of hired help on the

one that can not be regulated to q
nine or ten-hour day without great In
jury to the farmer. I have had con-
siderable experience with hired men
and have always made 1t practice to
have chores done and breakfast over
ready for work at a. m. i always
took an hours incoming If weather was
favorable, and quit work in the field
at p. M, or as near as l could, ac-
cording to the work that was being
done. If a storm was coming up, and
had hay or grain out, I always ex-
pected my help to work 80 as to get
it in the best condition for saving. All
chores could easily be done by p. M,
after which the men could be at home
in the house to read, write or pass the
evening in any way they saw At, and

come again the next season II they
worked out and I wanted man. /
