The influence of the height of
wheel on the draft of farm wagons is
a subject regarding which there is
considerable difference of opinion.
The Missouri station has made trials
on macadam, gravel and dirt roads in
all conditions, and on meadows, pas
lures, cultivated fields, stubble land,
etc The results obtained and cor
cmsively reached were as follows:
| For the same load, wagons with
wheels of standard height draw light
err than those with lower wheels. The
difference in favor Of standard wheels
was greater on good road surfaces
Low wheels cut deeper ruts than
those of standard height. The vibra-
ton of the tongue is greater in wag-
ons with low wheels. On good roads
increasing the length of the rear axle,
so that the front and rear wheels will
run in different tracks to avoid cut
ting ruts did not increase the draft
On sod, cultivated ground and bad
roads wagons with rear axle longer
than the front one draw heavier than
one having both axles of the same
length. The best form of farm wagon
is one with aXles of equal length and
wheels 80 to sc inches high in front
and 40 to A inches behind.

these lands to negroes or undesirable
white people, but it is hoped to inter

would be beneficial to them. Hatties

that his road was ready to do it's share
and that he felt sure that Sotuh Mis-
sissippi would be the next storm CEN

made to get it," That depends alto

Many of the farmers in this state
are of the opinion that cotton seed
should not be fed to cattle. The re-
suits of the experiments conducted
by our stations show that as much as
six pounds of raw cottonseed may be
fed to milk cattle without in jury to
the COW or the quality of the butter.
Butter made from the COWS fed on
cottonseed scored 90 points, that from
corn and cob meal SO points.
There is no reason why we cannot
grow plenty of cowpea hay and les
pedeza and other good hays to mix
with our cottonseed and obtain the
most satisfactory results from feeding
the seed on our farms.

most satisfactory results from feeding
the seed on our farms.
Much interest is now being taken
in the subject of raising sheep. The
Wisconsin Station says "Our chief
consideration has been to secure
good rams, The high priced rams are
usually those that have been winners
of army prizes But this is not the
| sense in which it is used. A greater
mistake cannot be made than to buy
a highly fitted prize winner, no mat
ter what the price may be- They al
most invariably prove infertile or
incapable of service. The high pric-
ed rams give good value when they
are vigorous without having been
pampered or starved and most GER
tainly when they show that they
have the merit that attracts higher
prices in the common market"
The boil weevil will very likely
force many of our farmers to put a
large part of their bottom and low
lands into pastures. Well bred sheep
will manufacture the grass into wool
and mutton. 1t is advisable for us to
devote some time to the study of the
sheep.
The North Dakota Station says:
THAT humus, at least in regions of
clay annual rainfalls plays more i'm
portant role in agriculture than has
generally been ascribed to it; that
as humus decreases in soils they be-
come less productive, less retentive
of moisture, and inferior in physical
quality, while on the other hand il
was found that an INCREASE in the per-
centage of phosporic acid extracted
with the humus. but also with much,
greater productivity of the soil that
as the humus increases it seems to
cause portions of the phosphorus acid.

Prof. Ladd of this station maintains
hat a system of rotation snould be
)racticed which alternates humus-
with humus-consuming
rops. A well balanced system of
including leguminous crops,
With proper preparation and cultiva-
ion will maintain the soil in the high
st state of fertility.
The Rhode Island station gives the
reasons for practicing rota- "
on of crops: "All plants do not n

IL. NELSON RESIGNS AS MAYOR
Leavenworth viii Have to Choose a New
Mayor to Sign the Street Light
ing Contract

The following writing will come as
surprise to many citizens Of Leaven-
worth. II carries its own explanation.
It will slightly delay the execution of
the contract for lighting the streets Of
the town, if it has no other effect.
Further comment is unnecessary at this
time. The writing:
To the Council of the Town OF Leav-
enworth:
Whereas, the council of the town of
Leavenworth has decided TO contract
with the Tumwater Light and Water
Company for lighting streets in Lea
yenworth; and
Whereas, Under the law of the state
of Washington the mayor of fourth
class city has no vote or veto power,
and has no choice except to sign and
approve such contracts as are made, or
ordinances passed; and
Whereas, The amount required to
pay for said contract per annum is
equal to approximately o-mll tax on
the last assessed valuation OF Leaven-
worth, and Notwithstanding that great
pressure has been brought to bear on
the council by petitions and letters
from citizens and taxpayers urging the
letting of the contract, believe that
the amount of expenditure called for
each year for lighting purposes is too
great; and, while am in favor of lights,
I am so firmly convinced that this con-
tract will be found so extremely bur
densome to the town long before its
expiration that I do not and cannot
it;
Therefore, Having no alternative, l
hereby tender my resignation as mayor
of Leavenworth, to take effect imme-
diately. l.. J. Nelson.

WouId-Be forest Rangers

Thirteen big, strong, healthy young
men sweat blood in the city hall all day
Monday over the civil service examina-
ton for forest ranger. A. H. Sylvester,
assistant supervisor of this district, had
charge Of the work.
Tuesday the class gathered at the
ball ground near the old school house,
and were put through the field work.
Judging from their looks the young
men enjoyed this part OF the examina-
ton better than the portion taken up
Monday.
Nothing can be told at this time as
to the standing made by the men in
the tests. Their papers are sent to
Washington and, after careful inspec-
ton, the ratings are returned TO the
writers-good, bad or indifferent as the
case may be. Those who pass with
high standing will be placed on the
eligible list. When vacancy occurs
in the position of forest ranger names
are furnished from which selection is
made. Those taking the examination:
James Mckenzie, A. B. Mitchell,
Marx F. Fuller, Jesse f. Friend, S. J.
