The Summer

WidONer

Copyright. by J. B. Lppincott Coz
The Joys Of the wifeless. childless
summer-husband have been but hall
chronicled. After Mary and little
Mary and little Johnnie have been
safely transported to their appointed
summer-home. what of our hero?
Weeps he? Goes he hence straight.
way to his home to gaze sadly at
rooms that echo" no more with
childish laughter" Tears he his
locks. or heaps he ashes thereon?
Not so. He goes as the crow files
exactly where the spirit moves him.
Metaphorically he throws time to the
dogs, and his chest expands with the
Joy of living.
Meanwhile he tells himself that
having pleased his family, he has
earned the right to please himself
which means?- 1t depends upon the
man. There is. as we all know, q
very caddish sort of grass-widower
who palms himself off as a bachelor
and goes on his way callously, tramp
ling down honor and Boosting OF
"scalps." With him we have nothing
70 do. Our sort is the man who is
manly, and who Is going to have a
good time az no ones expense save
his own.
Man is lover of things edible. and
so the grass-widower begins his good
time by good breakfasting. He forti.
fies the Inner man" In so satisfying
manner that his countenance fairly
beams, for he has eaten those things
that his palate has long craved. things
that they never have at home"
His conscience gives him a little
prick when he remembers why his
thrifty Mary does not serve costly
delicacies, fit only for plutocrat, to
a family of seven. However, he has
enjoyed his tidbit and thinks no more

The report of the department of ag-
riculture does not indicate that there
will be a serious shortage OF bread
stuffs in this country this year, al
though the figures TO date show a con-
siderable loss in winter wheat as COM
pared with year ago, the estimated
loss in round numbers being Al ,O00,0 900
bushels.
Tosa considerable extent this is off
set by larger acreage and a greater
yield Of spring wheat which brings the
total indicated crop of wheat up to
693.OO0,000 bushels, as compared with
664,OOO,O00 bushels at the same time
in 1908. Some important interests in
the trade figure that the consumptive
demand has grown enough TO absorb
this difference and that before the en-
tire crop is harvested we will run into
a period Of actual shortages rather
than surplus. 1t is also figured that
foreign requirements easily will take
all wheat which is not needed for do
nestle purposes as crop conditions are
generally understood to be unsatisfac-
tory in most Of the old world grain
raising districts.

The greatest crop OF cereals ever

600 bushels in all grains over the to-
tails of 1908 is promised and the rec
ord yield of 1906 will be exceeded.
Corn for the first time passed the
5000 100000 mark, and oats are put
at more than 100000 600 bushels.
The value of these great farm pro-

The Spinelcss cactus
Come John, play fair.

IT. has seemed strange to us. il vie W
of what is claimed for the spineless
cactus created by Burbank, that some
systematic trial of it has not been made
upon the arid lands of this State. Posi-
bly, this has been done bat if SD our at
tcntion has not been called to it.
Mr.. Burbank is anything but hot
air scientist. and the statements en-
anating from his horticultural labora-
tory ut Santa Rosa arc taken as sub
sItantial facts by those engaged III up-to-
date plant growing.
On the basis of what purports to he
the truth Mr.. Burbank has evolved Il
plant that will flourish on arid land,
and produce Il crop that must essen
tally be profitable if it docs half what
is claimed of it. There are II good
many hundred thousand acres of land
in Nevada, with good soil but lacking
only water to grow other crops, which
it would seem is adapted to this ex-
traorlnary plant. Has anybody tried
it? If SO we would he glad to publish Il
statement of the results of the trial
Such plant would do more for Nevada
than thousand gold mines. much as
gold mines are desirable. If no trial
has yet been made then some enter
prising farmer should do SO or what
would be better the Nevada Expert
mcnt Station should make an cxhaus-
tive trial Of it,.

The Eternal Feminine.

Amongst some African tribes, when
a man processes his love for a woman
and asks her in marriage, she invaria-
bly, refuses him at first. lest it should
appear that she had been thinking of
him and was eager to become his
wife! BY SO doing she maintains the
modcsty of her sex, as well as tests
the love and aliases the pride of her
lover. This policy is also intended to
be of use to the woman in her married
life-as, should there be quarreling,
and the husband threaten to send her
away, she can remind him Of how he
made repeated professions of his love
and urgently pressed his suit before
she consented to become his wife,
