Ruskin in, his Essay on War"

rarely pronounce themselves on the
side Of the poor and of justice, but
continually maintain themselves
and their own interests by oppres-
sion of the poor and by wrestling OF
justice, and how this should be ac-
cepted as so natural that the word
loyalty which means faithfulness
to law, is used as if it were only the
duty of people to be loyal to their
king and not the duty of a king to
be infinitely more loyal to his peo-
pie.

Poultry Pointers.

A cellar cave is the best place for
the incubator If it is operated in hot
weather.
Even with but few birds 1t Is
worth while to 'use trap nests and
know which ones are paying their
board.
Bath water in abundance is as good
for ducks as dust bath for hens. Breed
ing ducks especially should be amply
provided.
Encourage the fowls to follow the
plow when breaking the sod. They
will pick up many worms and bugs
that would otherwise injure the crop
planted and convert them into eggs
More careful attention should be
given to the dressing, packing and
shipping of poultry on the farm than
is generally done. Uniformity Is one
great thing with market poultry, and
generally the most salable is the me-
dunn sized bird having a plump and
shapely body.
Young turkeys are very delicate
and must be handled very carefully
In order to raise a good percentage Of
the brood. They are better cared for
when away from the older birds than
with them. since the older ones are
such inveterate wanderers that many
Of the little ones are lost.
Plenty of exercise is necessary for
little chicks, but it is not best to allow
them to run in the tall grass before
the dew has dried away. They should
be kept in the coop until after a. M;
then they can be turned out and al
lowed to run. If it is not desirable to
allow the hen to run, stretch a long
wire and tie the hen to'a ring, so she
can pass from one end Of the wire to
the other.
Not more than forty hens should be
kept in run. Thirty would do much
better. The larger the flock is the
sooner they clear off the surface food.
During the spring and summer, where
fowls have the free range OF the farm.
there is plenty Of room for a large
flock, but when fowls are limited in
their runs the f1ocks must be smaller.
Unless other conditions are. supplied
o large flock will eat up the profits

What the Middle West Knows About
the DRY Process.


DRY farming" is misnamed science
1t is a recent discovery and is being
taught to the new settlers in the mid
die west and in Colorado. To those
who know nothing of it the idea may
be described as farming by conserv-
ing natural moisture. The new set
tiers learned that there were copiOus
rains in the fall heavy SHOWS in win
ter and rains in the spring again. If
this moisture, which ran off into swol-
len streams with the coming of spring,
could be conserved to the growing
crops the desert might yet be rejuve-
mated, and so they set to work.
The great farms were plowed ten
and twelve inches deep. They were
narrowed fine in the fall, and the rain
was allowed to settle in the subsOil
In the spring they were cultivated
again. these 10000 acre farms. and
they we're left standing to absorb mois-
ture for year. with constant cultivat-
ing to help the moisture retention.
The second fall the seed was put in.
and the new rains and snow and
thaws brought out the spring wheat
thicker and greener than ever But
what of the blistering suns of sum-
mer? The new farmer prepared for
them by blanketing his land to keep
the sun from drying out his subsoil
For this purpose dust mulch was
spread over all the sOwed land. The
rays of the sun were reflected by it
and underneath the moisture nour-
ished the roots of the wheat, though
the tops were dry.
The experiment succeeded, and the
country had been proved good for
something anyhow"
This mode of scientific conservation
Of the moisture has been the root Of
all growth. Through it alfalfa. with
it's stout roots digging far down to the
subterranean springs. has been made
possible. Through it the first sugar
beets were grown.
These are. to be sure, vastly separa-
BILE products. having to do with dis
tinct industries. Alfalfa means cattle,
and sugar beets mean sugar mills and
towns. Alfalfa came first. Then corn
came. and then the cattle were intro
duced anew.
Now all through these regions are
great ranches where hand fed and fat
tened cattle are produced-not the
gaunt range steers of Texas, but fat
cattle. ready for the market and COM
handing top prices.

WAYS or THE LION.
It's Capacity For Making Itself In>

visible In Dim Light.
'1n the wild state one seldom
sees lion either in repose or
majestically alert" writes a CORE
spondent of the London Times. GA
glimpse the hunter may get of him,
standing magnifcently rigid when
suddenly disturbed in early morn
ing at his kill of overnight, and
more seldom it has been given to a
man to watch one, himself unob-
served, gazing from an eminence at
the grazing herd. But the lion is a
nocturnal animal, possessing an ex-
traordinary capacity for making it
self invisible in dim light. Many
sportsman has testified to the expe-
rience of being unable to see lion
on a night not altogether dark,
though it was so close that it's
breathing was plainly audible, and
many a native of Africa has fallen
victim to the sudden onslaught of
what, as he passed it "a few feet
away, he took to be only a small
bush or the blot upon the darkness
made by tussock of grass.
"The literature of big game
shooting contains perhaps no Incl
dent more bloodcurdling than the
experience of Dr. Aurel Schulz,
who, when with his gun bearer he
was stalking a hippopotamus at
night found that lion was in turn
stalking them. By chance the gun
bearer noticed that bush behind
them had queer way of being al
ways about the same distance in
their rear. In spite of the moon
light they could not be certain that
it really was lion, but when, to
test it, they turned upon their
tracks, Immediately the shadowy
thing swept, dim and noiseless, in
a wide semicircle, so as to plant
itself again behind them. So, one
going backward with his face al
ways to the lion, the hunted hunt
ers made their way back to camp,
hippopotamuses having ceased to
interest them"
As to the moral character of the
beast, the same writer continues:
cit has been said of the lion that
he attacks only those who with
stood him, scorning to strike one
who fed or sued for clemency,
wherein in real life if you run from
a lion he will chase you; more
over, that full grown men only were
his enemies, that he would not
harm babies. But in the lion house
one may see any day the eyes which
look so indifferently on the men
and women who come and go before
the cages light up with sudden saw
agery as some small child toddles
alone across the floor The lion
has learned that men and women
are not for him, but this smaller
creature-nice antelope size, soft
and helpless-presents itself to the
royal mind as easily killable."
