NINETEEN BUSHELS PER ACRE.

In many sections of the oat belt
there has been a marked deterioration
in the oat yield during the past two or
three years and so pronounced has
this been that a comment or two
touching the situation may be worth
while. The low yield of this year
seems in part due to poor seed, but
possibly in larger measure to the fact
that the grain was not sown with the
disk drill, as it should have been, but
was broadcasted in a slack and SLOW.
enly manner. with the result that the
stand was very poor. Contributing to
this result is another factor that is
even more amental-namely, a
gradual depletion of the soil by an i'm
proper method of tillage TO the point
where 1t is not capable of producing a
satisfactory yield. In a list of some
twenty men whose thrashing returns
were reported TO the writer recently
the average yield was but nineteen
bushels to the acre, the lowest being
eleven bushels and the highest thirty
five and one-half bushels, or over three
times as much The farm which pro.
duced the eleven bushel yield has been
Systematically skinned for years past.
The one which gave thirty-five and
one-half bushels has raised much
stock and its fertility kept up by feed
ing most of the products of the farm
on the farm. Nineteen bushels to the
acre, and that in section where oats
in the past have Welded as high as
sixty and seventy bushels, shows
state of affairs which farmers individ-
ually and collectively may well be
looking into. How long is it going to
take for agriculturists to learn that
they can't keep subtracting from the
soil principal each year without re
placing it with fertilizers and still con-
tinue taking from it the same interest
returns in the shape of crop yields?

While conditions on the farm or

overlook some of these means of safe
guarding human health on the farm,
because there are so many things

attention, but in spite of this 1t is
well to exercise the largest degree OF
care possible along the lines suggested,

1t is. after all. but evidence of de-

the northern part. plants type of

half dozen seasons when it will get

The Home Man.

Two dealers in Inflated Cherry,
ILL.,, described in the dispatches as
representative local merchants"
were among the volunteers who
went down into the flaming fur
mace of that burning tomb of 800
miners to rescue their townsmen
and restore them to the weeping
wives and mothers at the mouth of
that gaping Gehenna. The American
Paint and Oil Dealer, a trade jour-
nal, in commenting on their hero
ism finds occasion to say:
The names of these two dealers
who thus met their doom and, with
all the rest of the dozen in that
cage of death, were Immediately
incinerated by the flames, were not
Sears, nor Roebuek, nor Ward.
These men, these country dealers,
who had cast their lot completely
with their community, to share its
life and further its prosperity,
whose loyalty wavered not in a
calamity that wiped out almost the
entire male population of the town.
and who stepped into the cage
with their eyes to the sunlight and
a strange smile upon their faces
were John Flood and Isaac Lewis"

The Eskimo Dog.

~ hlie the world waits for posi-
tive proof as to the riehtful discov-
erer of the North Pole and pending
a settlement of the controversy be-
tween rival claimants, we believe it
is time to honor those other hardy
Arctic explore rs-the Eskimo dogs.
To these four-footed pole-seekers
belongs the everlasting credit of
making travel and scientific explor-
alton possible iii the coolest regions
of the earth. Through their power
and mobility the icy barriers of the
North have been overcome and the
efforts of men. who have risked
their lives to gain the top of the
world, are at last successful.
After many years of hardship,
privation, and suffering, the humble
dog has dragged his master to the
much-coveted gca', and without ex-
pectation of reward or hope Of
glory. The part he took in the long
quest may generally be overlooked
and forgotten but he will not whine
nor 20 mad about it. He will jog
along in his ever-faithful way until
he joins those other silent martyrs
of civilization
mo hope of future glory nerved
him to do and dare,
No strong ambition liGhtened the
loads he had to bear,
And while the brave explorer reaps
his plentiful reward
Of fame and gold and honor yield
ed with one accord,
What thank has he, the gaunt sledge
dog, whose every step was pain,
Whose poor feet, cut and bleeding,
craved rest and help in vain
Who worn by toll and SCARED by
blows, hungry and tired and lame
Dragged his victorious master up
the slippery heights of fame?"

DO
NOT LIKE The COLD D
Drop in Mercury Causes Many
TO Desert Jobs,

st. Paul, Dec. 1s.-1t is reported
that when the mercury here hit
13 degrees below zero large number
Of imported strikebreakers in the Twin
City terminals and at the Minnesota
Transfer walked out of the yards to-
ward the nearest fires, and some of
them, being ordered back to work, quit
on the spot.
Railway officials admitted that there
had been some assertions, as was to
be expected with a crowd Of raw and
unacclimated men, many of whom
were strange also to the work; but
they all said that the supply of new
corners was sufficient to stand a con-
siderable subtraction without mate
rally impairing the working force.
Strike leaders continue to deny the
truth of optimistic statements given
out by railway officials and say the
tieup is complete. They expect the
real situation to develop when the new
men become weary of excessive cold
on duty, long hours. and complicated
details of unfamiliar work, and when
trains pour in on them bound both
east and west.

MESSAGE PLEASES GERMANS.
Approve What He Says Regarding
Trade Wars.

Berlin, Dec. i +-Official and journal.
istic comment upon President Taft's
message to congress notes with ap.
proval what he says regarding the un.
likelihood of trade wars between the
United States and other countries as a
consequence of the maximum duties
clause of the new tariff law. The
Tageblatt, which represents financial
and radical opinion, concludes two
column review by calling the message
a friendly one. Mr.. Taft's utterances
respecting Nicaragua, though consid.
cred in official quarters as rather
vague, are taken to mean that the
United States will restore order in the
republic, an outcome which will be to
the advantage of the German trade
and German possessions there. .
