HAS DESERVED SUCCESS.

Count Won Zeppelin, the aeronaut,
was born in 1888 and devoted what
are for most men the best years of
life to military service. Retiring in
1880 with the rank of general, he
turned with a boyish enthusiasm to
the pursuit of his hobby, aerial nav
igation. To the solution of the
problem which had baffied the inves-
tigators of two centuries he sacri-
feed his fortune, with little appar-
ent progress toward the goal. Pow
erty spurred him to greater exer-
ton. In 1892 he made a successful
balloon journey from Bern to Luz
cerne, but his work was lightly es-
teemed until 1900, when the sur
prising success of the first dirigible
caused genuine sensation. Since
that time his progress has been
easier.

Nearly a Million Patents.

Nearly one million patents have
been issued by the United States gov
eminent in the period between 1886
and 1908. In round numbers there
will have been issued by the 29th of
the present month just 100000 patents
of all descriptions.
Away back in the thirties, before
the patent Office was created, the issu-
ance of patent required the sigma
lures of what was known as the pat
ent commission, comprising the sec
rotary Of state, the secretary of war
and the president.
The records in the early days were
very crude, and the statement was
made at the patent Office that the
first issuance of a patent of which
there is any record was January Is,
1886, to ]. Beverly Allen, for "im-
provement in box for packing tobac-
CO." This patent was number ITO.
Between January 1, 1886, and Janu-
airy 1, 1887, there were issued ITO
patents.

FALL FLOWING.
FseiIitatss Work In the Spring and

FssiIitatss Work In the Spring and
improves Seed Bed. s.
While little definite investigation has
been carried on to determine the rela-
tive value Of spring and fan blowing,
yet the practice on many Of our west
ern ranches Is to get as much as pos
sible Of the land to be seeded in the
spring plowed during the fall. This
foresight is considered especially es-
sential In breaking new ground OF
course In the arid region Of the country
it is difficult to. pillow. IN the fail, and
some farmers leave the work until
spring In order that the land may be
plowed much more easily after the
SHOWS and spring rains. One advan-
tage in fall blowing Is that 1t opens up
the soil and admits the moisture from
the fall and spring rains and winter
SHOWS more easily.
In some cases, however, quite as
good results are gained from leaving
the stubble on the ground throughout
the winter. A long stubble tends to
prevent the snow from blowing and
accumulates considerable moisture In
the soil. Our spud and beet fields are
dug up so much that they do not need
autumn blowing. and such fields are
always IN the best tilth In the spring.
One distinct advantage In fall blowing
Is that it facilitates work in the spring
and tends to better preparation Of the
seed bed at that time.
If large areas must be plowed in the
spring the work Is crowded and not
enough attention Is given by way Of
preparing the seed bed. Our springs
vary, and frequently 1t Is quite late
before farming operations can begin.
1t is therefore a decided advantage to
have the ground plowed In the fall in
order that It may be worked up rapid
ly in the spring with the disks and
harrows. Another advantage for fall
blowing is that 1t affords good means
OF disposing Of the manure. AS soon
as the grain Is cut and when It is
standing in shock manure may be dis
tributed over the field and as soon as
the thrashing Is done can be plowed
under.
The precipitation Of the succeeding
months beats down the soil and so
tends to bring about decomposition In
the manure. If the manure is left and
plowed under In the spring It fire.
quently lies in strawy punches and In
terferes with the rise Of moisture
later. The observations IN many sec
tons indicate that the very best way
to dispose Of manure Is to get 1t on
the ground and pillow it down IN the
fall. Our modern traction plows and
the introduction Of the disk pillow have
done much to simplify fall and winter
blowing in this country. 1t frequently
occurs that we have a good rain or a
snowstorm, after which the blowing
can be done quite readily.

INDIAN QUICK AT REPARTEE
Really Witty Answer That Is Cred
tied to Chief of Tribe of
Red Men.

A certain commissioner out west
was given to treating the Indians
with a scorn they did not deserve.
One day, as he sat with a great chief
in his tepee, smoking the pipe of
peace, the chief entertained him with
many quaint legends.
One of these dealt with a plague
OF locusts, and the grim orator de-
scribed in flowery language how
they had swarmed over the land,
eating every herb and green leaf,
and blotting out the light of day
for very number. Then he con-
cluded by remarking that it was not
until the medicine-man made an
offering of a silver locust to the
Great Spirit that the creatures dis
appeared, and this they did, swiftly
and suddenly.
Loudly the commissioner laughed
the superstitious Indian to scorn.
"Do you mean to say you're such
fools as to believe that rubbish ?"
he asked.
"Not much," replied the chief,
gravely, cor we would have offered
the Great Spirit a silver paleface
long ago."
