Martini Life Dying,

A sadder interest attaches to such
existence-that it is, cosmically speak
ing. soon to pass away. To our even
tual descendants life on Mars will no
, longer be something to scan n inter
pref. 1t will have lapsed beyond the
hope of study or recall. Thus to us 1t
takes on an added glamour from the
fact that 1t has not long to last, for
the process that brought it to its pres
ent pass must go on to the bitter end
until the last spark Of Marian life
goes out. The drying up of the planet
is certain to proceed until it's surface
can support no life at all. Slowly, but
surely, time will snuff it out. When
the last ember is thus extinguished the
planet will roll a dead world through
space. it's evolutionary career forever

This year will be memorable for onr OF
the most extensive and Damaging drUuShts
the North American continent has ever
experienced, How great u loss IT has in
Gicted upon all sections of this country
aud a large area of Canada is impossible
to say, but it is of enormou proportions
Forest fires due to drought are said to
be the most destructive in twenty-five
years. They nave ravaged the southern
part of Canada, New York, Maine, Wis
consin. Michigan. Minnesota. and as far
south as Pennsylvania. The loss from
this source is probably not less than
$1O0.U0,00O. Scarcity of timocr makes
the seriousness of this loss hard 10 over
estimate. 1t will undoubtedly cause an
advance in the price of lumber and may
check building operations all over the
country.
The drought has left Lake Champlain
eight feet below high-water mark and the
Ohio river is fordable where the water
Is usually thirty feet deep. A number of
cities are threatened with lack of water
for fire protection and mills and factories
using water power have been compelled to
shut down.
The government has sent experts to
study the causes of forest fires with a
view to prevention. Catching food wat
ers in reservoirs for use when needed IS
now done to some extent. The present
disastrous experience with widespread
drought ~justities careful consideration OF
oil suggestions for safeguards against a
repetition of this years deyastation.-

A line Of Investigation with reference
to recovering the buttermilk that had
been lost In the large creamery was
undertaken by the Kansas experiment
station, and some very valuable results
have been obtained. ButtcrmiIk to thr
extent of several million dollars has
been dumped into the streams Of the
State Of Kansas every year. BY dry
ing this buttermilk and turning 1t into
a food product the feeding value OF
buttermilk can be fully recovered.
Feeding experiments were begun along
poultry lines, and later with cows. In
both cases the casein has proved to be
n very profitable feed. 1t has been es-
tlmated that 1t Is worth approximately
7 cents per pound as feed for chickens,
and worth about S cents per pound as
feed for cows. This caSein can be pro-
duced for the creamery man as well as
the feeder. and by this means butter
milk Is recovered and not lost, as IL
10Y the case.

The Corn CFOD,

The yield of corn this year will prob
ably be somewhat larger than that of last
year. The drought following the month
or two of heavy rains in the corn belt
cut deeply into the promised harvest. the
reduction in the prospective yield in the
month Of August being 122,OOO,OOO bush
els.
Illinois, which produces more corn than
any other State, was the greatest sufferer,
the depreciation being ~ points. In
Indiana the falling off was SO points,
and in Kansas 60. Ohio, where lin1ati
conditions were fairly close to being per-
feet for grain raising. showed only a
slight loss in the conditions. Missouri,
Texas, Oklahoma and Iowa also reported
a small dropping off in prospects in the
month of August. Nebraska is said to
have actually made gains.
The corn crop of 1907 was
900 bushels with an acreage of 3S.O99.OUO.
The area under this grain this year is
estimated at 100, $4,000 acres. The CON
ditions on the first of September were
79.S as compared with SO.6 on the same
date in 1907. Considering all these fig
urcs the yield viii be more than three
billion bushels. The frosts are still TO
be rcckoned with before the final figures
are written.-Toledo Blade.

Warning To Fruit Hue

According to Presiding Justice Wyatt
Of the court OF special sessions, New
York City, future Offenders against the
law in relation to using sufphuric acid
to preserve fruits will receive prison
sentences upon conviction instead Of
fines as heretofore. This decision Is e
result OF several conferences between
the Justice and Health Commissioner
Darlington.
Inspectors of the health department
have found recently that many persons
put the acid in preserves and tellies.
and those who hav been arrested were
nned from S15 to $2 and warned not
to do 1t again. The warnings have not
had the desired effect, however, hence
the warning that prison sentences VIII
~ imposed hereafter.

Tho Cam pa1SR.

One of the new methods OF stimulating
| popular interest in the presidential cam
| paign is the distribution Of photograph
records of speeches by the leading candi-
| dates. Hundreds of thousands of voters
may thus hear the voice of the party nom
inccs, even though they may see only a
picture of the men themselves.
At the same time, the number Of sal
aried campaign speakers is much smaller
than In former years. Those who talk
are expected to give their time to shrti
party because of their belief in it's prin.
ciples.
Political campaigns are quieter and
more business like than they used to be.
The speeches of the candidates are re-
! ported in the press. and the voter thinks
the questions out at home. The political
rally does not attract . generation of
newspa per readers as it aroused their
| fathers in the old days when talk was
cheaper than print.
Yet the voice Of a man Of conviction.
the living words Of a great leader. will al
ways be a power. There is magic in the
! personal contact Of the politician with the
| voter. and political speeches can never go
wholly out of fashion. Even the phono-
graphic reproductions. interesting and val
uab BILE as they are. will not quite take the
place of the real thing. But people are
getting too intelligent to have their con-
v~ictions swayed By "spellbinders." who
receive fifty dollars a night for their ef
forts to save the nation from disgrace.
If a lively campaign is known by the
amount of shouting and eloquence. per-
haps we shall never nave another one. Fhs
