Dickens and Diet.

Dickens is the novelist of the meal
No other writer, pile he up never such
lists Of delicacies fit for Lucullus, has
the gusto in describing humble feasts
which gives the very reader an appe-
tite. Thackeray, for all his Ballad of
Bouillabaise," never touched the hem
of his garments in the recording of
meals. Who that has read them can
ever forget, for instance, Mrs. Camps
directions to the chambermaid for her
nocturnal reflection, or the tea which
awaited Joe Willett and Dolly on their
return to the locksmith's dwelling on
the occasion of Miss Miggs final rout,
or the unassuming meals recorded in
David Copperfield," or the more pre-
tentious feasts in "Pickwick," not for
getting the leg o mutton "swarry" to
which Mr.. Weller was invited by the
elite of Bath footmen? And has not

X. c. Star IS.
The 5OO-million-bushel corn crop
which seemed almost assured in Kan
sas and Nebraska on August has
been crimpled and shrunken by the
excessive heat of the past few days,
and absence of adequate rain for two
weeks past. Dozens Of reports have
come to The Star reporting varying
degrees of damage. Generally the
corn in the eastern part of the state
does not appear to be seriously hurt,
and some parts even Of Central Kan
sas are still hopeful of a full crop, but
in Western Kansas and some of the
big corn counties in Northern Kansas
and Southern Nebraska reports indi-
cate that the extreme heat and
drought has done great damage to the
crop. the amount of damage done
is impossible to estimate at the pres
ent time.

package containing 2,740 pennies is
just now disturbing Merchant Lieb-
bsohn, of Bancroft. The pennies
came from Dysart, Ia, but there is
no way of finding out who the sender
was. He paid 43 cents express and
then put the pail on the floor.
When Liebsohn broke the cover,
out rolled pennies in every direction.
Clerks and assistants went to work
counting them and found the above
number number. No one owes him con-
science money, he is not given to
tricks of any kind, and he is very
anxious now to get even a soothsayer
to explain the mystery. The pennies
have been deposited and will be held
until further developments.

of
Well EARNED Land.

W - n
II has been said that the average
farmer in this country merely 'tickles
the soil, scratches it over little, SO
to speak, Scatters his grain and IS
ready to reap. While to our way OF
thinking farming in the corn belt may
seem to be quite intensified, IT can
not be disputed that we have yet a
great deal to learn in the science OF
crop handling in order to make use OF
the maximum producing power OF our
acres each and every season.
In this connection a comparison OF
crop production in this and foreign
countries furnishes some interesting
facts. The following figures give the
average production of wheat, rye,
oats, barley and potatoes in Austria,
Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden,
Great Britain, the Netherlands and
Ireland for the years l90S-N-O5 COM
pared with the same crops of this
country as given in a late census,
namely: The average of wheat per
acre in these eight foreign countries
in these years was 28.42 bushels as
against 1875 bushels in the United
States; rye, 34.5 as against ia; oats,
1856 as against 3l.9; barley, $40 as
against 26.S; potatoes, 1923 as
against'93 bushels. This shows an
average increase per acre in all of
these countries above the average
production of the United States of l27
per cent for wheat; 81 per cent for
rye; IS. 8 per cent for oats; 80 per cent
for barley and SO per cent for pota-
toes.
From this data we can get a vivid
idea of how far ahead of our methods
are those employed in foreign lands.
Conditions, of course, are accountable
for this difference, land being COM
paratively cheap on this side of the
water, and, of course, there is not
the incentive to the farmer on $50 or
500 an acre land to farm intensively
that there is to the farmer on land
valued at many times this figure.
This leads us to conclude that there
are two classes of farmers: one class
improves its methods of farming only
when the increased cost of produc-
ton demands it, and the other class
works to improve its methods at all
times regardless Of influences which
may alter the cost of production.
Needless to say the activity of the last
named class is chiefly responsible for
a better agriculture in the broadest
sense of the word. For second
time we may conclude that whatever
increase in the average production Of
farm crops is recorded in coming
years it will be due to the efforts Of
those sources which supply knowl
edge and information which practical
ly for the taking, namely, the intel
ligently edited farm paper, the bull
letin, the institute and the shor
course. Farmer & Stockman.

Success In co-operation.

What purely farmers enterprise
in cooperation may accomplish has
been exemplified by canning com
pany in New Jersey. There were put
out by the farmers Of the canning
company in 1908 a hundred acres of
tomatoes, of which about eighty-five
acres produced crop. wet weather in
the spring having caused the failure
Of the remaining either through poor
cultivation or late planting.
The harvest, however, showed a to-
tai yield of $40 tons of tomatoes. for
which the company paid SO ton, or
to the farmers the big sum of S6,011.
The average yield to the acre was two
and half tons and the largest yield
sc netting over thirteen tons. A fairly
good number of acres ran from ten to
twelve tons. The wages paid out. not
including salaries. was $4,000 OF
course this was the company's expense
and went for labor in putting up the
product; 24S000 cans were filed and
100 persons employed, the majority of
whom were women and girls. The
company is stock company, all of the
stock being held by farmers. It is also

How Lone Are Cows Profitable?

In my opinion. milk cow remains
valuable as long as she breeds and
continues to give enough milk and but
ter fat to pay a reasonable dividend
over and above cost of keep. The old
est cow | have is nine years old. and
don't remember having kept any I'M
til older. find my cows after their
eighth year begin to taper off in guam
tity of milk produced, though they
would last longer If they had not
been crowded" so hard in former
years. Ny experience and observation
Of Holstein cows lead me to believe
that the decrease is gradual from the
high point of efficiency. much as the
increase from "heiferhood" on is grad
ual, but that the period of lactation is
not shortened in the slightest.
believe a good COW. one that has
paid good dividends all her life. should
be kept until she can no longer pay for
her feed. And If she has been an ex-
ceptional cow she should be kept as
long as she will breed. as calves from
such COW have every chance to be-
come as good as or better than the dam.
and great cows are not as yet very
common.-R. B. Young in Farmers
Review.
