A WET NEW YEAR
Nineteen Eleven Comes 10 With Tears
And Weeping

Once upon a time land this is no
fairy story either) the Weather Bu-
reau hit it right. The Man that
makes the weather said: "Rain OF
snow likely" for New Years. Ii
happened to be the former.
1t rained all day yesterday, and most
of today, so that the natives got a
double supply of the prediction
rain on January first, nineteen and
eleven and rain January second, nine
teen and eleven.
1t is promised the rain will turn
into snow and there will be a cold
wave tonight, so don't get out your
summer clothes even ifitis warm and
muggy.
The New Years greeting as to
weather was fearful and forboding.
According to an old legend what
happens on the first day Of the year
will occur throughout the 365 days.
If this be true, there will be copious
showers to water the earth and dull
gray clouds to overshadow humanity.

STRANDED IN DUCK BLIND
Two Wen Al Mercy OF Wind And Waves
On South River


While walking on the porch of his
home, wild Rose Lodge" South
River, on Friday afternoon, Mr..
Waggaman saw a signal off some
distance in the river near his home,
which he took for a distress signal.
Observing more carefully and call
ing the field glasses into play, 1t be-
came evident that some one in the
ducking blind was in distress. The
wind was blowing a gale at the time,
but Mr.. Waggaman ordered his man
to go to the relief of those signaling.
After some difficulty battling with
the wind and the waves, the ducking
blind was reached, and it was dis
covered two men, Mr.. Nichols and
Mr.. Stacy, of this county, were strand
ed in the blind. Both men had gone
to the blind to hunt ducks. On the
wav out in the river they lost an oar
and after reaching the blind the other
oar broke. The men were stranded
in the blind where they had spent
some hours, and were practically
helpless until assistance scame from
the home of Mr.. Waggaman.

District In Cape Breton swarms With
creatures-cause Immense
Damage.

A district 30 miles beyond Cheli-
camp, in the far northwest of Cape
Breton, has terrific plague Of mice.
The whole country swarms with the
destructive creatures. The mice have
burrowed underground and excavat-
ed network Of subterranean roads.
They began their destructive work
on the hay crop, cutting it as it stood
in the fields. When that was stored
they attacked the grain and the forty
farmers there have saved only seven
bushels. They attacked the potatoes
and the diggers on opening up the
drills find little more than the stem
of the larger potatoes left in the
ground. The mice have carried
their work Of destruction to the
woods and are stripping the bark
from the saplings and now they are
entering houses, cutting their way
through the walls and threatening
to destroy clothes and household fur
niture.
No remedy is in sight. The people
have been digging pits to entrap
them, but in spite Of myriads de-
stroyed in this way there seems to
be no abatement of the plague. The
farmers are afraid to use poison for
fear Of polluting the streams and
wells from which their cattle derive
their supply of water.

HOSPITALITY OF BERNHARDT
Whom She Had Never Seen
Before.

An italian journal in commenting
on Nine, Sarah Bernhardfs recent
appearance at a London music hall
explains how it is that this great art
list seems always in need of money.
1t is interesting to read that in the
case Of this distinguished artist her
money is literally at the disposal not
only of her near and distant rela-
tons and friends, but even of people
she does not know, for her house is
open to all.
At one time she never entertained
less than twenty persons daily at
dinner, and it is related that Alex
andre Dumas, who was one day Of
the number sitting at the right hand
of Nine. Bernhardt, asked her, "Will
you kindly tell me the name of your
friend on my left?" "That is more
than I can do" said she, "for 1 have
never seen him before. "-Lady's

Broom Corn.

The showers of the past week
have visited nearly every part of
the broom corn producing terri
tory in this section. The acreage
northwest is much lighter this
season, and in many places there
will not be enough OF crop to
pay for hauling it away. The
buyers here estimate the condition
of the crop in Grant and Morton
counties as being so per cent, in
Stevens and Seward at "a per cent,
and south Seward, Beaver and
Texas counties, Okla, as being
about 80 per cent, As the two
Oklahoma counties are the largest
producers of the brush marketed
here, much speculation is going on
as to whether or not the acreage is
greater than last year. The
general rains have been Of great
benefit to the crop, and it is
generally believed that the quality
of the brush raised in this territory
this year will be much better than
that of last season.
A buyer who has recently been
through the east, reports that all
of the warehouses there are full of
corn from last year, all of it being
of the poorer grades. 1t appears
that the crop all over the U. s.
last season was short of good
brush. The demand and price for
the better grades has been good all
the time, but the price for the
poorer corn was very low last
season. With so much of last
seasons inferior on hand, it will
probably have a tendency to lower
the price on the poorer grades,
but look for a strong market on
frst-class corn from the very first
of the season.

CHINESE TAKE TO COCAINE.

The Lancet publishes a statement
by its China correspondent that it
has been found that since the laws
were established restricting the sale
and use Of opium many Chinese have
found consolation in cocaine. The
usual mode of taking cocaine among
Chinese is by snuf1ng it, or in
catarrh snuffs. ct is to be hoped"
says the Lancet, chat the new regu-
lations win be sufficient to prevent
the easy purchase of cocaine, though
in the absence Of any coast prevent
i've service there is no country in the
world into which it is less difficult
to smuggle goods or drugs of any
description than China"

WAS THE LUNATlC7
Daffy One and His Guards Cause COM
siderable Confusion at Asylum
In France.

A lunatic, who was named Le-
grand, was giving some trouble in a
country place in France recently.
'Let him be shut up in an asylum"
ordered the mayor. The garde
champetre was designated to take
him, with the help of a local baker,
to the asylum few miles away. On
the road the lunatic showed some
repugnance to going to the institu-
ton. The garde champetre consult
ed with the baker, and they decided
to humor him by offering him drinks,
in which they joined. But before
they left the bar they had imbibed
so much themselves that all three
reached the asylum in a state of in
toxication. (Which of the three is
itP" wired the director to the mayor.
"Legrand," was the reply, but in
transmitting it the telegraph oper-
ator licked off Ole grand" which
thus indicated the tall one. AS the
garde champetre was taller than the
other two he was detained, and the
lunatic and the baker returned to
the village, when the lunatic, who
had been the first to get sober, told
on the other two.

For Wheat Growers.

The soil in the wheat field needs to
be In such a condition tn at 1t will alb
sorb as much OF the rainfall as pos
slble. This seems soself evident that
1t appears foolish to mention 1t, and
yet nine-tenths OF the western wheat
fields utterly fail in this respect.
Tens Of thousands OF acres are sown
to wheat every year without being
plowed. 1t is not q rare thing to find
fields In the wheat belt that have not
been plowed since the original prairie
was broken, the land being simply
disked each year. Most of the fields
that are plowed In the wheat be Its
are plOwed so shallow that the water
from only small rain can be alb
sorbed. A soil plowed inches deep
forms a reservoir for storing twice as
much moisture as the one. plowed
3 inches deep.
The Spaulding deep tilling pillow,
recently introduced from California,
Is constructed to pillow from II to "a
inches deep with minimum Of horse
power. have seen this pillow go to
a depth of IA inches In heavy soil
while being drawn with four good
horses
l believe that In five years the good
wheat growers will, with this and
similar plows, stir the land occasion
ally to q depth Of 20 inches or more.
{, Probably once in four or five years
will be often enough to pillow so deep.
The deep blowing will convert the
fields into deep reservoirs that will be
able to store the water from heavy
rains-the great need in wheat grow
ing today.
Under average conditions in the
wheat fields enough rainfall cannot
bestored to carry the plants through
q drouth
Flowing for wheat should be done
as soon as possible after harvest. The
ground should be narrowed the same
day it is plowed II there is trash or
the soil is dry the freshly plowed soil
should be worked with a sub-surface
packer, running lengthwise OF the
furrow The packer congresses the
earth around the trash, drives out the
surplus air, re-estaDllshes moisture
connections between the plowed and
unplowed soil, and promotes the firm,
mellow seed bed that wheat needs.
Wheat needs deep, mellow seed
bed with loose surface soil. The
deeper the seed bed the better, but it
must be firm. A loose, open seed bed
such as is made by late, deep blowing,
usually contains so much air that
many of the roots growing IN it are
killed.
The seed bed should be in that hrm
mellow condition that is conducive to
holding the most moisture.
The surface soil should be loose to
depth Of 2 or inches. Such sur
face forms an earth mulch that re-
tains the moisture just below the
loose part
The seed should be planted just at
the top OF the firm portion OF the
bed, where it will have plenty OF
