big nice pullets and they would lay
hardly an egg all winter. The first
essential for winter eggs is the right

A WAR OF MICROBES.
They Multiply So Fast That Battle
Explodes a Bottle

Soon after the opening of the medical
Westminster, a large glass bottle which
had been betraying symptoms of uneasi-
ness exploded and scattered its contents,
q creamy foam, over the rest of the
stall. Originally the bottle contained
milk-just milk and a few millions ty-
phoid bacilli, which lived and grew hap
PLY together in this culture medium.
Then, for demonstration purposes, a
horde of 100000 hungry monsters
(known as the bacilli of MassoD were in
troduced into the cultured civilization of
the unhappy typhoid tribes, and re-
morseless war was raging in a moment.
A storm in a teacup was nothing to the
battle in the bottle. The milk grew tur-
gid with the bodies of the slain, and still
the Massol militia murdered and de-
youred their victims: When Massol
point-he burst, and each of his 100000
or 100000 fragments became a hungry
young Massol bacillus which fought and
ate in turn. Finally the milk foamed up
with the rapidly multiplying generations
of Massolites and the bottle exploded.
The demonstration arose out of Prof.
Metchnikoff's claim that the bacillus of
Tactic acid the Massol bacillusl destroys
the bacilli which cause internal putrefac-
ton of food. The Massol bacillus, he
holds, by rendering the internal organs
antiseptic, lengthens mans life to an
extraordinary extent, and he quotes the
exceptional number of centenarians in
Bulgaria, where the inhabitants live
largely on soured milk, which contains
this bacillus. Massol bacilli are now pre-
scented in a novel form-that of chocolate
creams, each containing 100000 bacilli
and it was one of these chocolate
creams which caused such havoc among
the innocent typhoid microbes in the bot
tle-London Daily Mail.

Because his father, George I. Richard
son, 70 years old, prominent for years
in Baltimore insurance circles, is about to
marry again, William Bowley Richard
son, his son, filed a caveat to the will of
his mother, Mrs. Mary Richardson, who
died in August, 1908. She left an es-

giving as a reason for making no be
quest to her son her belief that her
husband would at his death make ample
provision for him. The caveat states
that Mrs. Richardson, when making the
will, was not in her right mind. The
son says he is attacking the will because

BELLS OF MEXICAN RANCH.
Date from the Sixteenth Century and
Highly Priced by Indians

The ranch of Jocotlan. belonging to
the Indians of the district. comprises 3d.
600 hectares of very rich land. The
pride of the Indians is two old bells that
hang in the tiny churchyard. They date
from the year 1850 and, it is rumored,
are cast with gold and copper and silver.
They bear the date and some words in
Latin. OF their history nothing is
known. 1t seems probable that they
were cast UP by the sea or taken from
one Of the old Spanish galleons, as Jo-
cotlan is only a day from the coast. This
immense ranch has a history. After
the war of independence it was handed
to the indigenes Gf Jocotlan, who now
number 200. This gift was further rati-
fed under the government of Comonfort
in 1857. Many have desired to get these
bells, but the Indians will not part with
them at any price.-Autlan corr. Mexican

Value of the Home Market.

Farmers should encourage their
home town, to build up good home
market for their dairy and poultry
products, fruit, vegetables and many
things that sell far more proftably at
home than they could by shipping
them away. Here is where the French
farmers gain their prosperity; they
have good home markets, where they
market everything at high prices d.
rect to their customers in their
thrifty home towns and villages.
Towns can be revived by the farm
ers and merchants working together
to get new industries, and the home
market soon develops for all the farm
products that make prosperous COM
munity, and as the town grows the
farms increase in value.-Inland

SECRET WORKER.
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Oper-
ates.

The Plan Upon Which Coffee oper-
Coffee is such a secret worker that
it is not suspected as the cause OF
sickness or disease, but here is very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had
been using it for some time and was
an invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at tie root of the tree and ordered
it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: I'VE found that
was the true remedy for his stomach
and heart trouble and we would have
gladly paid a hundred times the
amount Of the doctors charge when
we found how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead OF COT
fee was begun about year ago, and
it has made my husband a strong,
well man. He has gained thirty-fve
pounds in that time and his stomach
and heart trouble have all disappear
ed.
THE first time l prepared it l did
not boil it long enough and he said
there was something wrong with it.
Sure enough, 1t did taste very fat, but
the next morning I followed directions
carefully, boiling it for fifteen min
utes, and he remarked this is better
than any of the old coffee
I'VE use Postum regularly and
never tire of telling our friends of
the benefit we have received from leav-
ing off coffee"

RObbinS the Soil.

The value Of the manure that is an
nually produced in Kansas has never
been measured, but it will probably
compare favorably with the value OF
some of our greater field crops Wheat
raising has made Kansas famous, but
this fame has cost the State heavily
in the depletion Of her soils The
vast area of the wheat belt is con
tracing each year, and the rotation
OF crops is beginning in earnest The
chief cause Of this depletion Of our
soil wealth lies In the continuous rob
bing of the soil without ever feeding
it. Live stock farming will save this
section and restore its fertility Ma
nure and rotation of crops mean

Are Farm Land Prices Too Hight
How long will the price of farm
lands continue to increase? Just so
long as the price Of farm products con-
tinue to increase, and these prices will
remain firm so long as labor finds
steady and profitable employment. In
no other country in the world is la
Dor so we'll rewarded as here. Where
prices are low, wages are necessarily
low. The man who receives liberal
returns for his work can buy Hber-
ally, and can pay fair price. There
seems to be no probability that in
dustrial conditions will be radically
changed in this country soon. The
people generally are too well satisfied
with them. Good markets may, there
fore, be expected to continue indef-
nitely.
Farm lands which may be relied on
to product satisfactory crops of grain
and grass are not selling too high.
Land which, with proper management,
will produce from 60 to 100 bushels of
50cent corn per acre is we'll worth
$3.50 an acre or more. There is large
amount Of such land IN Kansas and
adjoining states.
The sure way to increase the value
Of land is to increase its productive
ness. Under existing conditions prices
will take care of themselves. The
days Of large surpluses are past. De
| mand crowds close upon the heels Of
supply. Mouths are multiplying faster
than food for them-Kansas Farmer.
