Cronx al 1907.

Despite the fact that the cereal crop
yield of the United States for 1907 is
below that of the previous year, the
money return on the 1907 crops prom
ises to equal, il not exceed, that Of
1906. This statement is contained in q
bulletin issued by Bradstreet's:
owing TO the very cold and back
ward spring season, only hay, sugar
ard rice crops promise greater yields
than those of last year. The bulletin
says in part:
While the aggregate cereal yield,
six crops being included, is 10 per cent
smaller than a year ago, counterbal-
ance to the falling off in crop produc-
ton is found in the generally higher
level Of prices of the leading cereals,
guaranteeing that the producer at least
will derive some compensation alike
from the smaller yields, the amount
of the old or 1906 crops left over, and
the improved export inquiry, particu-
larry for our wheat and -four, caused
by less satisfactory harvests abroad.
The price Of wheat last week was %
per cent higher than year age. while
corn was Is per cent higher. From this
1t may be gathered that the present
money returns on these crops is better
than at the outset of the cereal year,
and the prospects are that taken as a
whole, this years cereal crops Will
yield fully as much, If not more, than
they did year ago.
Following is an estimate of the
yields OF the leading crops for 1907.

BANKER WALSH GUILTY.
Former Financial and Political Chief
in Chicago Is Convicted.

FORMER E1nauCla1 ana E0l1r1Cal Ch1e1
in Chicago Is Convicted.
The jury in the case of John f.
Walsh. the Chicago banker and poIiti-
clan. found the defendant guilty. The
trial was one of the most bitterly con-
tested legal struggles known in the his
tory of the Chicago federal courts.
Walsh was unique figure in the
history of Chicago. His growth has
been practically coincident with the
growth of the city. AS boy he came
there when the city was village. and
as man the village that he knew has
grown to as great proportions as him
self. Irish emigrant. newsboy, small
merchant. politician, banker, railroad
president. and newspaper publisher
mark the chapters in the life of John
r. Walsh, central figure in the great
trial recently closed. 1t was in 1860
that he made his first great stride to-
ward his millions. The war coming,
and Walsh was the first man in the
west to see the great possibilities of
general circulation of the newspapers.
In partnership with McNally he found
ed the Western News Company.
Dec. Is, 1905, it was announced that
Yyalsh's banking institutions had been
declared insolvent by the authorities
With this announcement came the as
surance that the banks of the city had
rallied to the assistance of the deposit

ors and would pay all Indebtedness.
Investigation of the failure continued
until esrly in 1906, when matters be-
came serious for Walsh, and he was
arrested on complaint of the district
attorney. The main charge on which
Walsh was placed on trial is in effect
that he ON Nov. IS, 1905, in sworn re-
port to the comptroller. understated
the amount of the banks loans to its
officers and directors by nearly $3,000,-
GOO, and oyerstated other loans to
generally similar amount. The result
was to hide the fact of $3,000,000 loans
by Walsh to himself. Tragedy and
scandal entered the case for the first
time when Attorney Hamill was made
the target for the weapon of Mrs.
Beatrice Metcalfe, who followed the
lawyer out of the courtroom and fired
OF him in an effort to kill him.
John r. Walshs conviction of felony
in the seventy-first year of his age
came as shock to the community
where he has lived and prospered for
so long Until little over two years
ago his position in Chicago was, and
for many years had been, one of infiu-
ence and responsibility. He was sup
posed TO be very rich man. He had
taken part in every great enterprise
for the building up Of the city. His
judgment was respected his integrity
unquestioned. And now, in his old
age. twelve of his fellow citizens, after
probing into his life. declare him
guilty of serious crime, punishment
OF which is Imprisonment.

Winter Forage.

The question Of winter forage and
pasturage Is one Of the greatest I'm
portance in the Southern States, and
Carleton r. Ball, of the Bureau Of
Plant Industry, was sent by the De-
partment of Agriculture early In the
past year to make an Investigation IN
several Of the Gulf States. In his re-
port Mr.. Ball says, amongst other
things: THE production Of Southern
hay has been a question long under
discussion The amount produced and
the yield per acre have both increased
steadily and encouragingly during the
last few years. On every hand it is
admitted that it is both possible and
necessary to raise all that is needed
for home consumption. Alfalfa, Ber-
muda grass, Johnson grass, crab grass
and cowpeas furnish an abundance OF
hay of the very best quality. This hay
can be produced much more cheaply
than an equal quality can be shipped
in from Northern and Western States
With better transportation facili les
and an increasing demand, the produc.
ton will become more and more profit
able. AT the same time, with hay
raised on the home plantations, and
hence cheaply and readily available,
larger quantities are being used In
feeding the plantation stock"

woman First An Egypt.

An Egyptian papyrus over 1000 years
old, which has been brought to the Toledo
(Ohio) Museum of Art with other an
tiquities, is found to be of exceptional i'm
portance, as it establishes the date of the
reign of a Pharaoh hitherto unknown and
throws light on the condition of woman
in the fourth century, b G. The name
Of the writer who signs this papyrus Is
found on another documenut in Strasburg
university, which bears a definite date,
consequently his reference to the Pharaoh
Kahabbasha places the reign of that Phs-
raoh in the year 341 b. G. 1t also con-
firms the statement of the Greek historian
Diodorus, of the. FIRST century B. o., say

A Simple Way 10 Make Che ..e.

The making of cheese is a very SIM

which any one can make cheese sue
cessfully. Tale evenings milk and
strain IL into some clean vessel and
let ii stand IN a cool place until morn
ing. Evenings milk should be warmed
to about 90 degrees before adding
mornings milk. A good way to warm
1t is TO set pail of boiling water
into the milk. Prepare the rennet by
soaking In one gallon OF warm water
for twenty-four hours before using.
Add as much salt as 1t will dissolve,
strain. LET it ettle and 1t is ready for
use.
Use a tablespoonful so- e<ch three
gallons OF milk ~ Il is much over

tity, il much less decrease it. As soon
as IL is well curdled take a knife and
cut the c.rd into blocks 50 that the

is mostly out OF the curd take bas-

turned or reversed every eight or ten
hours. From eighteen 10 twenty four
hours IS generally long enough TO press
a cheese. Now comes the curing peri

and attention. The cheese when taken
from the press should be rubbed with
lard snd q bandage OF new muslin
pinned loosely around Il. The cheese
must be CREASED every day. Iso not
