Public Weather Indications.

The plan of Professor Willis L.
Moore, the head of the United States
weather bureau, for popuarizing cur
rent weather indications is worthy of
much commendation and will doubt
less win a high degree of public ia
vor. Tho circulation of daily weather
maps, reports and forecasts is and
will remain the most valuable part
of the bureaus work, and 1t may be
said in passing that its value is in
estimably greater than many persons
think. But there are other services
which the bureau may perform, well
worth the comparatively trining cost
which they will involve and among
these is that now proposed, of supply
ing the public In important centers
of population with accurate informa-
tiun concerning current meteorologl-
cal conditions. such as temperature,
humidity and barometrical PRESSURE

Bryan as a Money-Getter.

William Jennings Bryan is the best
paid preacher in the United States,
receiving more money for his lectures
and writings than President Roosevelt
gets for his. Details are not wanting
to prove this. The lyceum bureau,
which manages Mr.. Bryan's lecture
tours, asserts that he filed IT'S dates
in 1907, and that his receipts for the
season yielded more than $500 for
each appearance, or n total of $52, 500.
There can be no sort Of doubt that
Mr.. Bryan stands at the head of the
platform speakers of today for the
size of his audiences, for the receipts
at the box Office and for the demands
for his appearance.-Springtield Re-

Improving Live Stock.

Shortly after a new administration
took hold of well-known Southern
railroad q great number of claims
were preferred against the company
on account of horses and cattle being
killed along the line in Kentucky. To
make matters worse: it appeared that
every animal killed, however worth
less 1t may have been before the ac.
cident, invariably figured in the claims
subsequently presented as being OF
the best blood in Kentucky.
One day, in conversation with one
of the roads attorneys, the president
became very much excited in referrine
to the situation. do you know he
exclaimed, bringing down his fist OF

How Much Should Pigs Gain?

A Yorkshire pig breeder says: 81
have had great many York-Cumber-
land pigs that gained seven pounds
each, per week, up to ten weeks old;
ten pounds per week, for next seven
weeks; fourteen pounds, per week, un-
til they weighed twenty-three stone"
A writer in Michigan Farmer says:
1--WE have believed that the Berkshires
were the equal of any breed for rapid
growth at an early age. With pigs
from mature sows we have been able
to feed them to weigh 100 pounds when
ninety days old. The great boars,
Longfellow and King Lee, weighed 525
pounds each at ten months, bred and
fed by N. H. Gentry. 1t will be seen
that none of these made two pounds
per day up to ten months of age To
breed and feed pigs to such weights, as
we have here mentioned, is one of the
Skilled arts and while a few attain
such weights, and, perhaps, pass them,
the great mass of pigs reared by the
foremost breeders fall considerably be-
low them"

Fat Soil, Fat Crops.

In tie California exhibit at the
jamestown exposition there is a speci-
men of very large peanuts. The nuts
are perhaps double the size of the Vir-
ginia variety, and yet they were
evolved and developed in three years
from Virginia paintings.
There is valuable lesson in this
for Virginia farmers. 1t cost the CAL
ifornia planter no more to grow large
peanuts than it costs the Virginia
planter to grow small peanuts. We
are not able to grow as large peanuts
In Virginia soil as California lands are
capable of producing, but the principle
is the same everywhere-the better
the land the better the crop, other con-
ditions being equal. 1t costs no more
to grow fifty bushels of good corn on
an acre of rich land than it costs to
grow twenty bushels of inferior corn
on poor land. In fact. more labor is
required to make the poor land yield
fifty bushels. And every farmer
knows that with a soil rich and deep
his crop is not so liable to be injured
by adverse weather conditions.-Rich-
mond Times-Dispatch.

Rest for Land.

New systems are often but veriilca-
tion of old methods. In some sections
half century ago 1t was customary
to allow the land to "rest" for year
after producing two or three crops.
During the resting year the land would
become covered with weeds or other
growth, which remained, thus serving
as mulch. Recent experiments show
that when crop Of crimson clover,
grass, rye or other growth Is allowed
to die down and fall upon the land
without moving, or moved and left in
place, the shading of the soil promotes
the formation of humus, especially in
summer, as the dampness, darkness
and protection from the direct rays Of
the sun place the land in the same
condition as forest .-Epitomist

Dirty Birds.

Do you know of any way to prevent
English sparrows from roosting around
buildings at night? w. T.. G. 1t is the
persistent and very Objectionable habit
Of this bird to roost in, on or about
houses, whence 1t is called the house
sparrow. 1t is very apt to harbor in
ivy or other creeping plants grown on
trellises, or the walls of houses. There
Is no way of preventing this nuisance,
or the fouling of the walls or cornices
of buildings, except to exterminate the
birds. The easiest way to do this is
to leave corn meal with arsenic in
places where they collect By keeping
a supply of this preparation, frequently
changed. the premises may be freed
from the pests.-Country Gentleman.

To Stop the Growth of Horns.

For stopping the growth of horns
upon calves this mixture has been sue
cessfully used in experiments conduct
ed by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Take so parts caustic soda, rs parts of
kerosene oil and rs parts water. An
emulsion is made Of the oil and soda
by heating and vigorously stirring and
this Is then dissolved in water This
mixture should be placed in bottle
with a solid rubber cork
The calves should not be over three
weeks old, from five to twenty days
being the proper age. A horn will
sometimes be killed that is even from
four to six weeks old, but it cannot be
depended upon with certainty.
In applying the solution the follow
Ing directions should be Observed
With pair of scissors clip the hair
around the embryo horn so as to ex-
pose a spot about the size Of a nickel.
While an assistant holds the calf Sc
curely drop two or three drops Of the
mixture on the horn and with the end
of the rubber cork rub it in thoroughly
over the bare spot.
Apply the fluid first to one horn, then
the other, until each has received three
or four applications. The rubbing
should be continued until the caustic
has softened and removed the hair
and surface skin around the horn. Care
should be taken that the fluid does
not spread over too large n surface.
To insure success the mixture must
lie carefully and thoroughly applied If
used carelessly the embryo horn may
not only be killed but the face of the
calf may be disfgured by allowing the
fluid to spread and run down over the
in.-Epitomist.

Save the Trees.

In the cutting down of small trees
farmers often rob themselves of larger
profit later on. Arboriculture tells of
an incident in Virginia. Ten years
ago about $4,000 young hickory trees
were cut down to provide hickory
hoops for about $4,000 apple barrels.
The barrel hoops had been sold for
about s4O0. If the trees had been al
lowed to grow, they would have been
big enough in few years for cutting
up into carriage spokes, and would
have produced, at the present price of
$35 thousand, spokes worth more
than 100000. This Is the kind of for
estry argument that ought to appeal
to owners of brush lots.

At the Majestic.

The Majestic theatre offers a hill of
attractions this week that will please the
most critical. the eight numbers ON the
programme furnishing entertainment
from start to finish. 1t is really hard to
say which is the headliner, as all are
good.
Three sketches instead of one are given
this week, all of exceptional merit and
all staged ana played by real actors who
interpret their parts thoroughly.
Noblette and Marshall present mixture
OF mirth and melody with the title Hints
in soldiery," which hides as under a
sushel the entertaining lines and action
that captivate the audience. Miss Mar
shall sings In Sunny Tennessee" so
well that all who hear her wish they
were in that state to verify her words
"A Buffer Bluffed' is one of the best
little sketches of the season and presents
a marital disturbance based on jealousy
acted with the perfection of naturalness
by w. S. Draper and Miss Cora Beach
turner 1t is needless to say that Miss
Turner is captivating as the jealous wife,
and both make big hit
James R. Waite G. Co. are seen in a
one-act nautical comedy drama which is
fun of action and easy-fiowing sea terms
which are handled by Mr.. Waite in fin
ished style. He proceeds to tear the emo
lions to tatters in true sea-dog style

hand balancers, are top-notchers not to
mention the trained dogs that aid the
brothers to win appreciative applause.
HI Manning is novelty in his black
lace part and amuses thoroughly with his
nonsensical monologues and songs.
The theatre programme can be relied on
as perfectly truthful In describing the
acts and players, all the girls being very
pretty and the male characters making
up IN their acting what they lack in good
looks. The Majestic is the thing and
needs only to be visited this week to be
enjoyed.
