Lombroso, the famous Italian criml.

reaching page which dealt with a
young man who, impelled by jealousy,
had stabbed his ffancee, he made a sur
prising discovery. The proofreader
was this man.

the story, "he threw himself at my
feet, declaring that he would commit
suicide If l published this story with
his name. His face. before very gen.

terrifying, and 1 was really afraid
that he would kill himself or me on

1t is said that the first horses I'M
ported into New England were brought
over in 1929, or nine years after the
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. One
stallion and seven mares survived the
voyage. From this it will be seen that
the first nine years of our history was
a horseless "age" in New England.
The colonists in Virginia differed from
the sober-minded Puritans of New En-
gland in being fond of sport, loving
fast horses and trying their speed on
the race track. The horses imported
wore English hunters and racers.

his mark on a numerous progeny of
uncommon beauty, size and speed.

William H. Rideing tells in Nc
Clure's Magazine of a dinner of the
Papyrus Club in Boston at which Hen
ry M. Stanley, the explorer, was the
guest of honor:
Whether he (Stanley) sat or stood,

this man of iron, Gods instrument,
whose word in the field brooked no

after dinner the chairman eulogized
him to the audience, He squirmed
and averted his face as cheer after

fully, reluctantly, and, with gesture
of depreciation, fumbled in first one

out finding what he sought.
1T was supposed that he was looking
for his notes, and more applause took
the edge off the delay. His mouth
twitched without speech for another
awkward minute before, with a more
erect bearing, he produced the object |
of his search and put it on his head
1t was not paper, but rag of cap,

made further acknowledgment of the
honors he had received superfluous. 1t

the sawdust, and it is claimed that

cost of building is about $3.50 per mile

Your cows will get enough salt by
simply putting lump of rock salt in
the manger. A cow giving good flow
of milk. well fed, ought to have two
ounces of salt day, an ounce in the
morning and an ounce at night Some
advise giving this to them on their en-
stlage, when you feed ensilage and
grain. You can take a small piece Of
salt in your fingers and weigh it, and
will soon be able to Judge the amount

WorId,s wheat crop. 1909

Broomhalrs final estimate of the
1909 wheat crop Of the world places
the total wheat production Of the
wheat acreage of the world at 3,347,-
100000 bushels, an increase of 1885,
100000 bushels over the production in
1908, 427,0O0,OOO bushel increase over
the crop of 1907, The production In
Europe aggregated 1,872O0O,O0O bush
els, being 16O,OOO,OOO bushels over the
1908 crop. The crops of North and
South America reaches 1,040,00O,OOO
bushels. or SO,OOO,OOO bushels over last
year. 1t is likely that this great pro
ductlon will not be more than enough
to supply the demands Of the worlds
population.

Conservntive Corn Policy.

1t Is, after all, but evidence Of q
desire to speculate when the corn belt
farmer, particularly the one located in
the northern part, plants type Of
corn which is too big to mature in
the season lying between the limits OF
killing frosts in spring and fall.
Where an exceptionally favorable
season makes possible the proper ma
turity Of such corn one year, there
will be half dozen seasons when II
will get hit with the frost before it ls
ripe and sour and mold in the crib.
1t Is better to play safe and grow
smaller and earlier maturing type.

Feeding CaIves BIZ Hand.

1t is always best to feed the calves
by hand, because one knows just what
they are getting and how much. 1t is
really not such terrible task to feed
dozen calves, but is quite nuisance
to go through the motion just for one
or two. Perhaps great many dairy
men who object to raising calves or
their own herds would change their
minds if they should practice it in a
wholesale way.

doubtless during the press of work
