KEEP THE SON MOIST.

The greatest problem in western ag-
riculture today. says the Kansas In
dustrialist, is not how to get larger
crops out of the soil for few years,
but rather how to produce paying
crops every year and at the same time
maintain the fertility and productive
ness of the land. A. M Ten Eyck,
superintendent of the Fort Hays ex-
pertinent station, says:
$50 far as cultivation is concerned,
there are three principal steps In the
conservation of soil moisture:
1.-THE soil must be loosened to con-
siderable depth in order to receive the
rain az 1t falls.
1.-THE plowed soil should be packed
down against the bottom of the fur
row that water may return toward the
surface as it is needed.
1.-THE top two to four inches must be
kent loose to prevent" surface evapora-
ton.
"To cultivate your farm according
to these principles does not require
extra or high-priced machinery, but
merely thoughtful use of the machln-
cry found on most farms.
The depth of blowing depends on
the nature of the soil, light or sandy
soil requiring less depth of blowing
than a heavy. compact, clayey OF
gumbo SOIL
To insure good connection between
the furrow slice-the ground thrown
up by the plow-and the bottom OF the
furrow it is necessary to use a sub
soiler in the more compact soils. This
subsoiler need not be large. 1t may
be attached beneath the pillow.
The soil at the surface should be
| kent loose all the time to prevent
evaporation. This may be done with
many of the common farm imple-
ments. A new method of preparing
wheat ground is to first list the ground
Immediately after harvest. After the
weeds have sprouted the field is lev
elled with a disc sled and harrow.
The field must then be kept clean and
the surface loose until seeding time.

as TO HOME RULE.

Quite a number of Topekans are
engaged in the laudable effort of ex-
tending moral and financial support to
the great cause of Home Rule for Ire
land. Their energy and enthusiasm in
this respect might well be emulated by
themselves and all others in Topeka in
lending their moral support to an agi-
tation proposing to give to this city and
the other municipalities Of Kansas
much larger and needed measure of
home rule than they now enjoy.
Most Topekans are probably con-
WINGED that the commission form Of
government is the better plan for the
administration of the affairs of mu-
nicipaIity. Assuredly is 1t most bus1-
nesslike and expeditions method for
conducting a city. But the charter
under which this system of govern
ment prevails binders the commission
ers much in the transaction OF various
features of municipal activity that ap-
peaIs to the people
For instance, Topekans have the
discernment to realize that masnln-
cent system of parks would be OF I'M
mense advantage to themselves ana
their city. Yet the charter unoer
which the city can conduct its affairs
saws that only so much money can De
raised each year for park purposes.
Many Topekans wisely believe tnat a
zoo would be a fine attraction in one
of the city parks. Yet there seems to
be no specific provision in the char
ter to warrant the expenditure OF pub
lie funds for any such purpose. To-
pekans thought it would be to their
advantage to estab lish a sanitary
garbage disposal plant and collect the
garbage from all over the city In a
prompt and efficient manner. They
went ahead and built the plant. and
there now seems to be a question II
anv or enough funds will be available,
because of charter limitations, for put
ting this desirable garbage disposal
system in operation. And so on ana
so forth ad infinitum.
It is eminently right that the legisla-
ture should place a limit in city char
tiers on the size of a debt that a city
can incur. This limit should be based
on a small percentage of the assessed
valuation of all the property in the
cfty for the purposes of taxation. But
it does not seem'right that city cnar-
fer be SO framed that a city can not
spend as much money as it pleases'
provided of course it keeps within its
debt limit, for parks. for zoos, for
garbage plants or any other reason
able municipal activity that appeals to
its citizens. Those of one city might
see fit to expend their funds on differ
ent activities than would those of an
other. But cities in the same class in
Kansas all work under the same kind
of a charter as to the most minute de-
tails. They appear to be charters OF
restriction, and they impose restric-
lions that are unnecessary.
Why wouldn't it be a good plan to
start a concerted movement to get
something of home rule for Topeka
and the other cities of Kansas?

The Torpedo's "Horning Instinct. /.

It appears that naval torpedoes, with
war heads on. have a remarkable ten
dency when they miss the mark to
sweep about and return to the vessel
firing them This dangerous homing
instinct is likely. in the case of fleet
firing, to have disastrous results.
So Lieut.. Commander C1eland Davis,
U. S. NJ, has invented a new gyroscopic
attachment for automatically exploding
the torpedo before 1t can get back to
its owners. The apparatus can be set
SO as to act when any angle Of defiec-
ton from the original course has been
reached. By setting 1t at 80 degrees,
all danger of blowing up your own yes
sci can be avoided.
Such a device would, one should i'm
agine, be invaluable in politics The
danger of torpedoes launched against
the enemy about-facing and scattering
disaster through the home camp is far
more serious in politics than in naval
warfare. Accidents of this character
have been unusually prevalent of late
New York Globe.

THE REAL MATTER WITH US.

1.-THE matter with u.s. is principally
population-an ailment of national
maturity, writes VIM. S. Rossiter in the
December Atlantic. When the fedora
ton of states adopted the constitution
and founded a nation. the republic
possessed a large geographical area
and meager supply of Inhabitants.
During the period which has elapsed
since that date, the increase in number
of inhabitants has far outstripped in
crease in territory. In 1890, when the
first census of the United States was
taken, the density of population was
but 4.S inhabitants per square mile
computing total area)- In 1900, it
was ISL. In 1890, the density of pop
ulation in the settled area was "a per
square mile, but in 1900 in the same
area it was S0.4. In short, in number
of inhabitants we have expanded rap

we have failed to realize the limita-
lions which of necessity accompany

1910, upon which we have entered, the
population of the United States APP

A NEW RoosEyELr,

Grimness has given place to genial
ity. Taeiturnity is followed by chatti-
ness. The great Roosevelt smile once
more appears, and a nation basks in
it's comforting warmth.
The loud and minatory Roosevelt of
the campaign and the glun recluse of
the days that followed the campaign
were one and the same. The second
mood followed the first as effect in
variably follows logical cause. The
toothsome smile had vanished, and the
'ursine handclasp was but a memory.
Achilles sulked in his tent.
But, like his Hellenic prototype, the
Sycamore hero is ready to sally forth
once more and avenge the slaughter of
his Patroclus Stimson. He is ready to
bind on his armor and bring bitter
grief to the temporarily triumphant
foe.
Every dog has his day"
This is the new watchword. This,
with many smiles, manv evidences of
good humor and hopefulness. is the
message delivered at Washington, once
the scene of SO many exploits of
prowess-
No one seriously imagined that the
colonel would long maintain his ST.
ience. He is not that kind of man.
He is essentially man of action.
When he can not spend his energies IN
killing animals, he must inevitably ex-
ercise his vocal organs.
The nation is not sorry that the
colonel is ready to talk again. Tt is al
ways interesting to listen to him.

They Do These Things Better in Franc

InOy 10 1ncS6 Innings B0Ct6f IN FRANCE
Those readers who are disturbed by
Premier Brands declaration that there
exists a deliberate plot to ruin France
through reign of anarchy and civil
war may find a sedative in the latest
projects for the Improvement and bear-
tification of Paris. The city is arrang-
ing to spend 100000, 900 francs on itself
The first installment of this vast
amount, 250. 900, 900, was subscribed for
thirty times over.
There is no doubt that within recent
years the general aspect of Paris has
deteriorated, both absolutely and rela-
lively. The city, judged by its own high
standard, is less well kept than it used
to be. Other towns, especially the Ger
man ones, have learned the lesson of
municipal coineliness and have outdone
their great exemplar. Paris sees itself
less agreeable to its own citizens and
less attractive to outsiders. Sure, de-
spite surface disturbances, Of continu-
ing as a fact, it will strive to remain a
beautiful fact. 1t sees the need of TAX
ing brace and means to do so.
Half Of the vast sums to be expended
will go for new municipal buildings,
public gardens and promenades, new
will be devoted to the opening of new
thoroughfares, the widening and extern
sion of old ones, and the construction
of additional bridges over the Seine. AS
will be seen by the rally of French in
vestors, money is aboundant and conf
men will be set at work. and pohtico-
social difficulties are likely to be
ameliorated
The Parisians seem actuated by two
strong beliefs: A belief that the gov
eminent has the will and the ability to
maintain order and avert violent
changes and a belief that beauty pays.

fourth largest nation in numbers upon
the earth?
In 1899. the American hen laid eggs
In sufficient numbers during the calen-
dar year to amount to seventeen dozen
for each inhabitant of the United
States. Omitting all thought of adding
a single egg to the individual share of
eggs. but merely to maintain the 1900
proportion, the hens of the United
States in 1910 must be laying annually
221,00O, 900 dozen more eggs than they
laid in 1899. The per capita product
of milk in the year 1899 was 95.6 gal
Ions per annum. To maintain this per
capital for the benefit of our incre-
ment of population, the milk supply in
the year 1910 must exceed that of 1899
by 1.242. 100000 gallons. To maintain
butter, of which the per capita amount
produced in 1899 was fourteen pounds.

former figure by 1872, 100000 pounds

potato supply for our newcomers, but
not to increase it for the rest of the
community to the extent of even one
potato each Gone potato apiece means
approximately 10000 bushels), there
must be raised 100000 bushels more
of this homely but useful vegetable
than were reported in 1899. What this
product means is best noted. by observ-
ing that to supply it would consume
the entire potato crop. as reported at

A pretty street dress and hat may

thinks the Hill City New Era, but it

A farmer and his wife recently lost

There are at present but few fam

to get assistance from the county, re-
ports the Americas Greeting. The
township authorities furnish those
with beans, bacon, coal and the COM
mon commodities, and cases are
known where, when the dependents
get dollar they spend it for pears
at $500 bushel and grapes at 10
cents pound. In this way they will

One healthy boy full of energy plus
, one healthy goat also full of energy
equals Something Doing for a neigh
borhood, says the Marion Record.
Such an arithmetica1 equation holds
forth in a certain neighborhood on the
hill. The goat is supposed to be kept
tied as a protection to those who do
not care to run races OF climb trees
but the boy who is attending to the
little matter finds occasion to release
his goatship at appropriate times
when he sees that the psychological
moment has arrived. The members of
the family are learning to sprint at
a moments notice and even the digni-
fed head of the household has been
seen to resemble blue streak from
the barn to the kitchen door with the
aforesaid goat following with every
evidence of being in a hurry. And as
for the girls of the famiy-the boy
| thinks he had them terrorized and
has evidence to prove it and he is en-
| joying life to the full.
