Insanity, or lack of mental balance,
takes queer turn with some indivtd-
uals. An instance that comes to mind
is that of a central Iowa farmer Of
whom we heard the other day whose
idiosyncrasy crops out in an unwilling
ness to sell any Of the hay or grain
which he grows in large quantities on
his farm of a thousand or more acres.
He builds comfortable houses for his
many tenants. most Of whom are. as a
result of a queer preference on their
landlords part, childless and middle
aged, but all over his place are to be
found rotting stacks Of hay and grain
cribs full of mildewed corn and other
things to correspond A few hogs and
cattle are raised and sold. bat not
enough so that the owner could be
called n stock raiser. The man In
question is known all over his county
as the farmer who never sells his stuff.
While queer, he is perfectly harmless.

If the men folks were compelled to
do the work about the house for a few
weeks, there would be u whole lot of
homes where there would be imme-
date plans set afoot for better sink
conveniences, something more ade-
quate in the way of supply of soft
water than a twelve inch board and a
barrel and the location of the pile of
wood for the cook stove under cover
and in closer proximity to the kitchen
door. These alterations and improve
ments would simply be in keeping with
the use of the hayfork, the manure
spreader and the dozen and one devices
that are employed on almost every
farm for the simplifying Of the out
door work.

Blunt, or sinking smut, has caused a
considerable loss to the wheat growers
of certain sections of Nebraska during
the past year. Not only the varieties
of spring wheat, but the Turkish Red,
supposed to be smut resistant, have
been affected. In some cases the loss
seems to have been only Slight, while
in others a loss of 10 cents per busheI
in the sale price of the cereal has been
reported, with no account made of the
added loss from u reduction in yield.
The plan recommended for keeping the
smut in check is a treatment of the
wheat to be used for seed with forma-
lin solution in the same manner that it
is used for oats or potatoes.

The government crop reporting bu-
reau in a pamphlet issued early in
April giving the condition of winter
wheat on April 1, 1905 states that the
average condition of the crop over the
country is 913 per cent normal as
against 800 per cent on April l, 1907,
and $50 per cent, the average for the
preceding ten years. The bulletin con
tains the further interesting informa-
ton that of the total crop of winter
wheat grown in the United States
Kansas leads with 1911 per cent, In
diana follows with 80 per cent, while
Illinois grows II, and Nebraska fol-
lows close with 7.6 per cent.

There are some people today who
take considerable stock in the alterna-
ton of a series of seven wet and
seven dry years, as finds illustration in
the seven fat and seven lean years
cited in Joseph's Interpretation of
Pharaoh's dream. In the opinion of
the folk referred to, last year was the
last of a series of seven in which
there was abundant moisture, while
the present is the first of a series Of
seven dry years 1t will be interesting
to keep track of things the coming
season and to note whether this
prophecy comes true.

AS showing that the sale of some OF
the common products is often governed
a good deal by whim and caprice, it is
interesting to note that in the matter
of eggs those cOlOred brown bring or
cents more per dozen on the Boston
market than do the white while on the
New York market the reverse is the
case. In London the preference is
strongly for the brown cOlored, with
the result that white eggs shipped to
this market are stained a brownish
tint by immersion in q coffee solution.

port for advancement, had there
been any truth in the attack through
the columns of the Herald ond other
Insurgent papers.
Mr.. Little has before been a can
didate for the United State senate,
but, failing to land the prize, took
his defeat in good grace, and con-
tinued to work for the good of the
party and to make more friends, I'M

doubt, the choice of the majority of

in THE LEAD
EVIDENCE THAT col. LITTLE is
LEADING CANDIDATE FOR SEN
AToR SHOWN BY UNION OF
FIELD AGAINST HIM.

>. IS
The Ashley Tribune says of the
centering Of the fight of the other
senatorial candidates on Col. Little:
The fact that the fire Of the In
surgent newspapers of the state,
whether they are Hansbrough, John
son or Marshall supporters, is di-
rected to the candidacy of G. B. Lit
tie for the United States senate, is
the best kind of evidence that the
Bismarck man is by far the leading
candidate in the race at this time.
Realizing the progress that Mr.. Lit
tie is making in his campaign, the
followers Of his opponents have
grown very desperate and have re-
sorted to methods that should have
no place in contest for a party nom
ination.
Mr.. Litle's opponents are men
who have served in the lawmaking
bodies of the United States for sew
eral years a long enough term of
service in each case, we think, to
have afforded plenty of opportunity
for each aspirant for the toga to go
into the campaign seeking re-elec-
ton or advancement on the strength
Of his past record as national law
maker.
Mr.. Little has been resident of
Bismarck for about twenty-five
years. He has been leading factor
in the growth and development of
the city and the surrounding coun-
try. The people Of his district, who
have known him best all these years
have seen fit to choose him as their
senator ever since statehood. He
has always held the position of
chairman Of the senator's most inn
portant committee that of the ju-
dietary, and, ever occupying so re-
sponsible position has probably
had much more share than any
other man in the state, in the en-
actment of the most important leg
islation.
X. 81
The Grand Forks Herald and other
Insurgent papers published what
purported to have been a review Of
Mr.. Little's legislative record, a
short time ago, in which the writer,
in his desperate efforts to discredit
Mr.. Little, INDUCED in SO much mis-
representation as to mislead or in
iuence no one who read the article
with care. The Herald, in fact, pub
lished the stuff, but without COM
ment- enough in itself to show a
lack of conviction of the truth Of
the matter. But the publication
shows to what extent it will go to
bring about the result desired. It
does not appear reasonable to an OUT
slider, that Mr.. Litt1e's constituents
Of Burleigh county and the city of
Bismarck their opportunities
of knowing the man and observing
his work as a legislator should
have seen fit to send him to the state
senate repeatedly, in the past, and
now give him their unanimous sup

PROFIT IN POULTRY.
Farmer Keeps Accounts and Finds
Biggest Money in the Chickens.

One farmer down east, in order to
lind out where the leaks and where
the gains were, kept an exact account
with every department of his farm.
He discovered that he was losing
money on his beef cattle, that hogs
just paid for themselves, that sheep
were good If his lambs came early,
and that the poultry made the largest
per cent of profit of any feature of his
farm. The result was that ne quit
fooling with beef and hogs and put
more money and time into poultry.
The increased prosperity on that farm
was so marked that he wrote out for
publication his experience.
Because hen is small and a steer
is big is a child's reason for having
contempt for the former and respect
for the latter, says Farmers Voice.
One OF the biggest money makers in
the world is the street car business,
which depends entirely upon it's in.
come for five.cent sales. A stick of
chewing gum costs but a penny, yet
just recently syndicate was organ
lied with over a million dollars capital
to make trust chewing gum" 1t will
pay the farmer and his wife to consid-
err the money there may be made in
poultry If wisely directed. Organize
the hen on business basis; nut I'm
new, clean, airy quarters; get proper
egg-making feeds; learn the value of
light, warmth and sun
shine in winter; get good incubator
and control your matches so that you
will have winter layers, broilers, ETC.,
when they are most profitable. You
will soon learn that for the money in
vested and labor required, the hen is
the most economical and highly ef-
ficient converter of rough feeds into
money you have ever tried.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head

better and we thought she would turn

She suffered terribly, and would

went on until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc

worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old l started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
