RECORD CROP IN MINNESOTA.
S300,O00,000 Worth of Wheat Is Now
Almost Ready for the Binders.

The farmers of Minnesota and South
Dakota will get more than $3O0,00O,0 600
for the crop now almost ready for the
binders, based on present prices, and
there is nothing to indicate any great
drop in the value of wheat between now
and the harvest. This means that the
farmers of these states will have more
money to spend than ever before in the
history of the northwest. The figures
are based on the crop estimate of the
Northwestern Miller. This publication,
considered the most reliable wheat crop
authority in the country, places the total
wheat acreage at 1921 900 in the two
states and the yield at 235,O0O,OOO bush
els. the greatest wheat crop ever raised
by these states. The estimates are based
ON reports from more than 1000 resident
agents of the Minneapolis Elevator COM
pany, covering every nook and corner of
the entire wheat belt. Based on the
nrice of wheat in the Minneapolis cham
her of commerce the crop is worth ex-
actly 1913, 100000 compared with $14S,-
10000 the value of the 1908 crop,
based on the prices of year ago. This
means that the farmers will get $780,
100000 more this year for their wheat
than last year. or an increase Of better
than 100 per cent on an acreage in
crease of only 8 per cent.

After an investigation covering two
weeks, William Krohbach of Dandy,
Pa, has learned the reason he has
been receiving only two or three eggs
a day from his flock of sixty hens, and
incidentally found out something
about the inventive capacity of rats.
One morning he heard noise in
his chicken house, and quietly making
his way there, he saw two big rats
in the act of making away with a
newly-laid egg. One of the rodents
was lying fiat on it's back with the
egg tightly clutched in its four paws,
while the other rat was dragging it
along by the tail. Krohbach was so
impressed by the sight that he
watched the rodents for three minutes,
during which time they carried the
egg for twenty yards along the fence
until they came to a hole in the
ground, into which they took the egg.
One of the rats became tired while
carrying the egg and changed places
with its fellow.

cra,n Ration for Swine.

IT is much the best economy to FUR
nish swine a grain ration when they
are on pasture, as it results in better
gains and a better product. One man
estimates that it takes from one-half
TO one-third less corn on alfalfa pas
ture than on a straight grain ration
to make a hog ready for market. Many
let the hogs run on alfalfa until about
five or six months old, by which time
they reach weight of Is to 10
pounds, feeding just little grain;
then they feed heavily for about two
months and sell the hogs at eight
months old weighing 200 to 22O
pounds. One farmer who raises about
a thousand hogs year and who In
one year sold 200 worth, makes
practice of growing his hogs on alfalfa
pasture until about eight months old,
feeding one ear of corn per head daily.
He then feeds heavily on corn for
month or two and sells at an average
weight of 200 to 225 pounds. Another
man feeds all the corn and slop the
pigs will clean up, all the while graz
ing them on alfalfa pasture, and sells
at six to eight months old at weights
of $50 to 800 pounds. Another, who
raises about a thousand head a year,
feeds all the corn the pigs will eat, be-
ginning shortly after weaving and con-

A Liberal Morality.

Joseph Widener. the young Philadel-
phia millionaire, was entertaining a
party of Anglo-Americans at luncheon
at the Ritz in London.
The day was mild and sunny and the
French windows of the beautiful restau-
rant stood open on the Green park and
Picadilly. A limousine glided swiftly
past Devonshire house; well known
American millionaire sat in the sumptu-
Gus car. and Mr.. Widener, nodding to-
ward the man. said to his neighbor:
THAT is Bonns. He made S19,OOO,-
100000 last year."
'Is he honest?" the neighbor, an Eng
lishman, inquired.
"Well. john" he replied. "Bonns'
moral code resembles that imputed to
the Brazilians. It-er-is liberal. 1t
countenances many shady things. In
Brazil, you know, in introducing friend
to your banker, in recommending, him
to a business associate and so forth,
you show the highest confidence, in him
"a confidence that can go no further
when you say: This is my friend. For

Thistle as stock Food.

Th1sIle as STOCK II OOus
Stock of all kinds greatly relish
the plants of the Russian thistle, which
has fairly jumped out of the ground
since the rains, and our Eastern plains
are verdant with it. Why not make
hay Of it? So palatable is the hay to
cattle that they leave green pasture
and break through fences to devour
this obnoxious and outlawed weed if
it is cut and stacked before the red
dish tinge comes on to the plant,
which occurs about the middle of July.
Many of our Colorado people have
used Russian thistle for forage for
several years, and some of them say
that it is as good as alfalfa. In re-
cent analysis the Russian thistle as
sayed as follows: Protein, 1895; ether
extract, 3.61; ash, 21.98; crude fiber,
2O.14, and carbohydrates, 1892. All
over Eastern Colorado there is Ia
mentable shortage of protein feed
stuff. Corn, corn stalks, straw, millet,
Kafir and prairie hay are all long on
starchy matter, but short on protein.
In the thistle we have crop that
grows on the arid reaches which will
not only yield large amount of for
age, but very palatable one at that,
and crop that is rich in the two ele-
ments in which others are deficient

Tennessee's Only Saloon.

Tennessee's only saloon is situated
about eighteen miles from McMinnville
in the only oasis in Tennessee, that is,
in the only spot from the Big Sandy to
the Mississippi which is innocent of
schoolhouses for four miles any way the
crow flies. 1t has no electric lights, no
screens over the doors and no mahog-
any, but plenty of barrels, bottles and
kegs filled with the wine that is red and
liquors bottled in bond. 1t has been
running only about a month and land
office trading has not sprung up yet, but
the proprietor believes it will only be a
short time before a constant string of
thirsty pilgrims will be winding its daily
way over the mountains and through
the desert to his humble refreshment
stand.-Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Cir

THE FOUNTAIN PEN IN RUSSIA.
And the Chick Pea in Mexico, All Under
the Watchful Consular Eye.

Every once in a while the Consular
Reports contain information of sort
that appeals as being odd. For instance,
to man whose first emotion when he
hears the name Russia is to think of 81
IBERIA and general darkness. and persecu-
ton, an announcement of trade Oppor-
tunities for fountain pens rings queer.
The announcement to the intending
introducer of fountain pens concludes
with the note:
There is a polytechnic school in Riga
and a university at Dorpat, both in the
province of Livonia The former has
about 100 students and the latter 1000.
There are no book rooms maintained ct
the high schools, but students can obtain
stationery, etc., from the beadles proc-
tors). AS a rule, however, the students
purchase their supplies at the different
stores. Correspondence with these bea-
dies would be of little or no value and
business relations should be confined to
business firms.
Almost next door to this item is an
article regarding the growth of chick
peas in Mexico. These. the reader is
informed, are almost universally export
ed to Spain. 1t is odd to learn that
SPANS typical dish depends not little
upon imports from Mexico.

HER RECIPE FOR A LONG LIFE.
Maryland Centenarian Tells How She
Has Remained Active.

$500 ~-~~~~~~~~~~
Delmar. a town that is about half in
Maryland and half in Delaware, points
with pride, says the Baltimore American,
to distinguished citizen who was 112
years old on February IL last. She is a
woman-Mrs. Hester Cordroy-and she
is not only mentally and physically ac-
tive, but she is hustler that outclasses
in he1 energetic activity girls who are
100 years younger than herself
Mrs. COrdroy not only lives in house
all alone and looks after her domestic
affairs. but she actually cultivates two
large kitchen gardens. She grows on
ions, potatoes, cabbages, tomatoes and
other produce for market. She has been
hoeing her own row for 100 years, or
ever since she was a girl of II, and she
is doing it this springtime as usual She
has been married twice and has a large
posterity, including ten great-grandchil-
invitation to make her home with any of
her boys or girls.
Mrs. COrdroy, as is usual with centen-
arians, has her theory of Longevity. She
does not agree entirely with the distin-
guished statesman and diplomat, the
Hon. Wu-ting-Fang, in the conclusion
that the way to attain the 1OO-year
mark. is to adhere exclusively to veg
etarian diet. Here is the message which
she delivers to this Twentieth century
generations of young women: "If the
girls of today would do more work and
think less of the parlor they would be
healthier and live longer" Illustrative
ly she mentioned that when she was a
girl she used to pillow all day and then
milk seven cows after dark. She has
been so actively on the move during
the past Ill years-even since she could
balance herself in an upright position
that she has never had five minutes of
spare time to think about growing old.
1t is unnecessary to add that Delmar
and the whole Maryland and Delaware
peninsula is proud of Mrs. CordrOy.

results from two, three and four ap-

applications were made, particularly
the spraying made in early July. The

Kerosene Emulsion.

Here is a recipe for kerosene emul-
sion: Hard soap, half pound; boiling
water, 1 gallon; coal oil, 2 gallons.
Dissolve the soap in the water, pour
in the coal oil and churn or beat to-
gether briskly with paddle for at
least ten minutes. Dilute from ten to
twenty-five times before applying. Use
it strong for scale insects. kerosene
emulsion destroys insects which suck,
such as plant lice, red spiders, etc. 1t
will also kill cabbage worms. cater

being the only states in the Union where

law. Recent Investigations show that
not less than 100000 robins are killed
in these three states during the winter
months 1t is a fact that every robin
earns ST in the destruction of insects
injurious to crops every year. The hunt

is a waste of millions of dollars and
ought to appeal to the hard, common
sense of every farmer. 1t ought to be
