shOrt CornstaIIxs.

Every farmer who feeds corn fodder
knows how difficult 1t Is to pitch the
manure from the stables in which the
stalks have been used for bedding
When the fork is thrust into the COM
pact manure the long stalks run SO
far in every direction and hold so
tightly that the man at the fork oe-
gins to think that he will be compelled
to lift the entire bottom out OF the
stall with the first forkful. The long
stalks make both loading and unload
ing Of the manure very 'dif1cult.
A Missouri farmer has Just given
his way, which we think Is good
way, of feeding corn fodder to make
better bedding OF the refuse stalks and
to make the handling of the manure
easier. He ties his corn fodder, or
corn stover, in bundles after husk1ng'
for storage. At feeding times he takes
these bundles and cuts them with an
ak across a large wooden block Into
three or four shorter lengths. These
short lengths are then placed In the
managers for the cows and horses to
pick over and are then thrown into
the stables and stalls for bedding. He
claims that stover cut into shorter
lengths Is easier for the stock to pick
over, that 1t helps to keep the stalls
neater. and that 1t is better in many
ways Where these short lengths OF
corn stalks are used In the bedding
the handling Of the manure Is easy.
Corn stalks are a valuable by-prod-
uct Of the corn crop when used in the
right way, and there are many good
ways of using them. Dry corn stalks
are porous, spongy, and are good abb
sorbers Of liquids. They are bulky and
fill up fast, hence aid in keeping the
stall floors fully covered and the anil
mails dry. Wheat. oat or rye straw
mixed with the dry corn stalk bed
ding makes an almost complete abb
sorber Of the liquids and saves all Of
the rich ertilizers.-Exchange

The Hired Man.

There arc great differences in the
qualifications of the hired man. One
is worth all and more than he re-
ceives, while another, who is apparent
ly equally as intelligent. is not worth
anything. and the employer is a loser
In the long run by having him around.
The best hired man is one who is in
telligent and active. A good one
should receive the best of treatment
from his employer and should never
tire of what is to be done on the
ranch, regardless Of the lateness OF
the hour or the inclemency of the
weather, If loss is likely to accrue in
case he should fail to work at that
particular time. Of all farmhands the
most despicable is the liar who tells
you that he has done such and such
work when he has not. Next to this
one comes the lazy man.-Denver

A substitute for the kitchen range
as a source of supply for hot water
has recently been introduced In Eng
land. An iron block, cast round coil
of pipe, is heated by small electric
heater placed In chamber In Its cen
ter. Outside the block Is a circular
tank containing the water, which In
its course through the coil is heated.
The electric current for the heater
comes from the regular house supply
for lighting. AS the apparatus stores
considerable heat, 1t may. be cut of
when the current is required for light
without seriously affecting the supply
of hot water. On the other hand, the
heaters may be permanently connected
with the electric main, Independent OF

A great deal Of admiration has been
expressed for the feat of the veteran
Italian balloonist, Captain Spelterlni'
who has again crossed the range OF the
Alps with his balloon, Sirius. On this
occasion, early in August, he started
from Chamouni with four companions,
hoping to pass directly over Mont
Blanc But the wind bore the balloon
eastward, across the Mer de Glace,
round the Aiguille du Dru, over the
Tour Noir, past the Zinal Rothorn'
and by a sudden leap over the Weiss
horn and above the valley of Zermatt.
Then 1t passed over the gigantic Dom.
skirted the towering Matterhorn, and
descending on the italian side, ap-
preached the Pizzo di Ruscada. Night
was at hand and a storm approaching.
so Captain Spelterini landed on the
edge Of a precipice, and the party,
after passing the night on the noun
tain, made the best of their way down
to Locarno. The balloon was saved.

Irrigation Of Alfalfa.

The Importance of alfalfa to west
ern farmers cannot well be overesti'
mated. A single ton Of alfalfa may
save the lives of many head of stock
by providing feed during short periods
of cold, stormy weather. Alfalfa can
not be excelled as a preparatory crop
on soils that have long been unproduc-
tive. Likewise 1t maintains the fertil
ity of soils naturally rich In plant
food, and II used as base of rotation
makes possible abundant crop yields
of various kinds.
Notwithstanding its present import
ance and great value in irrigation
farming, the profits on the area now
in alfalfa can be greatly increased II
more care and skill are exercised in
growing 1t.
Perhaps the most essential condi-
tions for the production of alfalfa are
abundant sunshine, a high summer
temperature, sufficient moisture, and
a rich, deep, well drained soil. All
Of these essentials, save moisture, exist
naturally in the arid region of the
United States, and when water is sup
piled 1t makes the conditions ideal.
Although alfalfa can be successfully
grown under a wide range of soil con.
ditions, yet all Western lands are not
equally well adapted to Its growth.
How to determine the suitability of
land for growing alfalfa under irriga.
tion, as well as how to prepare the
land, is told in Farmers Bulletin 373.
Irrigation of Alfalfa" recently issued
by the U. S. Department OF Agricul-
ture. The bulletin discusses the vari-
Gus methods of irrigating the crop

connection Herewith.

Theory of an English Socialist Seem
ingIy IndOrsed by Figures.
G. C. Hill, an English "sociologist,"
announces that 1t is automatically
mistake to suppose that human life Is
lengthening. He thinks that in the
British islands at least 1t can be
proved mathematically that everything
done to prevent sickly children from
dying soon, cuts down the length Of
the average lifetime" after 40 Writ
ing in the Sociological Review he
shows that in thirty years from 1870,
the death rate among male Infants
under 5 years, was cut down from rs
to SO in the thousand. The rate was
cut down in one degree or another 50
that there were fewer deaths at all
ages under 35. At 35 there was al
most no change in thirty years. At
from As to 55 he shows the British
death rate going up from 1876 to 2O.S
in the thousand. Between 55 and 65
years 1t rose from 1873 to 3S.9.
His argument agrees with that OF
a considerable school Of "sociologlsrs," :"
who agree with the sociology Of the
American Indians. By putting their
babies in the cold water of the nearest
stream, the Indians learned easily
which were too weak to make sue
cess in life az fighters and hunters.
On the other hand, the biographies Of
men who have done most to civilize
the world by great discoveries and in
ventions show that as children they
we're often so weak that they were
kept alive only by the greatest and
most loving pains.
Others who have minds as mathe-
matical as that of Mr.. Hill are now
working out calculations showing that
as the people Of Europe get more to
eat from the United States and South
America they are growing taller and
living longer for the same reason that
natives Of Missouri, Kansas and Texas
measure half a foot taller than natives
of Japan and China. Until a genera
ton ago. sociologists OF the highest
Chinese education took the view taken
now by Mr.. Hill in England. They
applied 1t chiefly against girl babies
1t was a Chinese sociological custom
to leave the undersized. superfuous
girl exposed in the open air to starvs
to death.

Hen. That WIN Lay in Winter.

The latest characteristic which the
poultry raiser is endeavoring to estab-
lish in the several egg-laylng strains
Of hens is the early maturity Of pull
lets, with the consequent laying, dur
ing the season when eggs are scarcest
and bring the highest prices.
A Maine breeder reports a lot Of
twenty-nine April-hatched pullets
which were selected because they had
begun to lay in the latter part Of Au
gust.
From September l until the end of
April these birds laid on an average of
lis eggs each, at a calculated profit
Of over SO per bird. II such profits
could be realized on the majority Of
the hens kept for laying, the elusive
fancy profits of the poultry business
would be realized.
The breeding of poultry to type Is
now SO generally accomplished that the
suggestion to breed a race Of birds
which will be winter egg-producers
warrants the belief in its early achieve

Resting Lnnd.

Many farmers believe that cultivat-
ed land should be given a rest" ev-
cry few years in order to recuperate
from its exhaustion in the production
of crops. In some cases the land may
be benefited somewhat, but, as a rule,
where a tract is permitted to lie fal-
low for many months 1t becomes a
yeritable hotbed for weeds. These
flourish and sap its best qualities,
leaving It poor and impoverished for
future crops. The soil is filled with
weed seeds and the task of cultivat.
ing It is rendered all the harder. Rea-
soniug from cause to effect, 1t would
appear that the more ground is culti-
waited the shorter its life as good pro-
ductive soil, but this doesn't work out
In practice. Weeds do more harm to
land than any other crop.-Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

CHAPTER XVI

CHAPTER XVI.
In due time the vessel upon which
David had embarked arrived at her
destination. the city of New York, and
the lonely traveller stepped forth un-
noticed and unknown into the metropo-
lis of the New World.
With an instinct common to all ad
venturers, he made his way to the
Bowery. Amid it's perpetual excite
ments and houndless opportunities for
adventure, David resumed the habits
formed during that period of life upol
which the doors had now closed. His
reputation had followed him. and the
new scenes, the physical restoration
during the long voyage, the necessity
of maintaining his fame. all conspired
to help him take a place in the front
rank of the devotees of the gambling
rooms.
He did his best to enter into this
new life with enthusiasm, but it had
no power to Danish or even to allay
his grief. He therefore spent most of
his time in wandering about among
the wonders of the swiftly growing
city. observing her busy streets, her
seums and parks. This moving pano-
rama temporarily diverted his thoughts
from that channel into which they
ever returned, and which they were
constantly wearing deeper and deenar,
and so helped him to accomplish the
one aim of his wretched life, which
was to become even for a single mo-
ment unconscious of himself and of
his misery.
Among the many acquaintances he
had made in that realm of life to
which his vices and his crimes had
consigned him. a single person had
awakened in his bosom emotions Of in
terest and regard. There was in that
circle of silent, terrible, remorseless
parasites of society, a young man
whose classical face, exquisite man
ners and varied accomplishments set
him apart from all the others He
moved among them like ghost-mys-
terious, uncommunicative and unap-
proachable.
From the time Of their first meeting
he had treated David in an exception.
al manner. In unobserved ways he
had done him little kindnesses, Ind
proffered many delicate advances OF
friendship, and not many months pass
ed before the two lone, suspicious and
ostracized men united their fortunes
in a sort of informal partnership and
were living in common apartments.
There was in Foster Mantel sort
of sardonic humor into which he was
always Withdrawing himself. In one
of their infrequent conversations the
two companions had grown unusually
confidential and found themselves
drifting a little too near that most
dangerous of all shoals in the lives OF
such men-the past

EducntIon nnd 1ho soil.


One of the popular fai,acies that IS
rapidly losing ground Is the idea that
any one with no previous training or
experience can be a successful farmer
and one Of the chief agencies Of en-
lightenment Is the Government Bu-
reau of Soils. This useful adjunct of
the Department of Agriculture Is rap
idly completing its investigations Of
the actual values and needs Of the
earth in various parts Of the West,
and its reports will constitute a valu.
able compendium for those already
engaged In agriculture to embark In
It.
The government has risen to the
need Of demonstrating that the day OF
haphazard and scratching OF the sur
face OF the earth Is passed, and that
for most successful results practical
training, If not thorough scientific edu-
cation. is needed 1t is the aim OF the
Bureau of Soils to establish accurately
the nutrition values OF the earth in
varying sections for producing the
greatest abundance of suitable crops,
and with such definite basis to help
the husbandman proceed with greater
certainty toward his goal of achieve
ment This sort of official knowledge
Is sure to enable man to make many
blades Of grass or grain grow where
