DEAN WEBSTER AND DRY FARM.
ING.

IT'S the difference OF opinion
that makes horse races says Oh
David Harlm. By the same token
things are always made interesting
when few dry-farmers get together
for comparison OF systems. At the
recent International Dry-Farming Con
Tess at Colorado Springs half the
discussions concerned the relative
merits Of various varieties OF wheat
for the dry farm. Now comes Prof
Z. H. Webster, dean Of the Kansas
Agricultural college, and announces
himself as feminist them all.
The wheat farmer has no place in
the development of the dry-farming
area he says. The general failure
to recognize this fact has caused I'M
told suffering and loss to settlers
who we're enticed by misleading state
ments 10 occupy this country with
the hope of growing wheat for profit.
Wheat farming has certain require
ments Of moisture and temperature
which are imperative, or the crop
fails. The region between the Tooth
meridian and the Rocky Mountains
has proved its entire unreliabilty in
this respect. It is destined, however,
to become one Of the greatest produc-
ing centers for live stock i'm America
The transition from the open
range to the abandoned wheat farm
has taught that forage crops are, to
a workable degree, sure; that kafir,
milo and sorghum will produce sufft
Gent grain for the needs of the stock
farmer; that the capacity Of this re-
gion to carry live stock can be great
ly increased over that of the range
days by raising forage and by winter
feeding, and that the climate is ad-
mirably adapted to the live stock In
dustry.'
To insure success even under these
conditions, however, Prof. Webster ad
vised the farmers at Congress to pro
duce feeders rather han finished
stock. to raise forage crops for win
ter feeding, 10 care for those crops

by SLIDING, to practice approved dry
farming methods, and to keeping a
better grade of stock than now.

Dr. Wells, in addressing the PennsyL

ford Springs, spoke as follows:

The Chin and the Throat.

Remember always to arch the tnroaL
almost as a horse does. Ii woman
talking to some one turns her shoul'
ders slightly from him and then glances
back the line Of the throat Is always
good. For myself l have at all times
thought the delicate line from the UP
of a woman's ear to the tip OF her
shoulder one Of the most exquisite OF
the feminine body. Many artists. l
believe, would agree with me. So re-
member what | say, dear ladies-do
not spoil or hide that lovely contour
with high linen collars or boning.
Wear low collars, or if these are not
becoming to you at least dress your
threats comfortably. Always carry the
chin high. If while you are still quite
young you can remember to thrust the
chin upward and forward-not to an
absurd degree, of course-you will not
with advancing years have to fear
those soft rolls of flesh above the col
lar that add so much to woman's ap-
parent age.-Anna PaTloya in Har-
pers Bazaar.

Testinq the "Bud."

An old bachelor had somehow stray
ed into a young peoples party, and,
realizing that he could not hope among
so many handsome youths to make the
heart of single maiden throb, he said
to the nearest girl, whose conversation
had shown somewhat more good sense
than be had expected:
Look about the ballroom. Notice
that the girls who have removed their
gloves have we'll shaped arms. And
ahem!-some have not removed them
But neither generalization fits me"
answered the girl, for, you see, have
one arm bare and one gloved. What
would you say about me?
walk out and let me look at them"
said the old bachelor unfeelingly.
The girl took few steps out, paus-
ed and returned.
Take the other glove off," said the
old bachelor.-New York Times.

TERRIBLE WEAPONS.
Ferocious Knives Welded by the Ma.
tives of Hindustan.

Ferocious Knives Welded by the Ma
tives of Hindustan.
The weapon common to every part
of Hindustan, so as to deserve the
name Of the national arm, is the "ka-
tar" This is broad, two edged dag
ger, the hilt Of which is formed some
thing like an q, the hand grasping the
crossbar. which is generally double,
while the side bars extend on each
side Of the wrist.
Some katars are made with FIVE
blades which unite into one. but by
squeezing together the crossbars di-
verge like the fingers Of hand when
the thrust has been given. Other ka-
tars are made in sets Of two or even
three, Of diminishing sizes, the blades
Of the larger being hollow and form
ing sheaths for the smaller.
Some of the southern Indian katars,
known as death givers," are immense
weapons. nearly two feet long in the
blade. and the hits are mass of
fantastic scrollwork and NEUROLOGICAL
holsters, the cobra with expanded
hood figuring largely.
There is also the 'bich'hwa," or
SCORPIONS sting. doubly curved dag
ger; the 'khanjar," a larger form of
the same. and the "peshkabz,' or
hunting knife. But none Of these elab-
crate weapons has about it the terri
bly, "businesslike' look Of the Khyber
knife (chhura). with its ponderous SIN
gle edged, tapering blade and plain
iyory hilt.-Chambers Journal.

No Black on Natures Palette.

Nature uses no black in any part OF
her work. | will not except the black
berry and the so called black pansy.
On q bright, clear day shadows on the
snow are pale ultramarine blue; under
a blue sky in midsummer the color of
the placid lake is cobalt blue and the
shadows OH the grass are lilac; on
weathered gray boardwalk they are
nearly as blue as the sky itself. The
palpitating atmosphere of warm
July day lifts the coloring of the land
scape to q higher but softer key in
stead of reducing it with gray, and in
the autumn, when the sugar naples
leaves are turned to gold, the shad-
ows on the trunk and every gray rock
in the vicinity are tinged with strong
lilac. In fine. when the sun shines

we are prone to believe is gray. is re.

SENSE or TASTE.
Curious SeIeetive Powers Exhibited BY
the Tongue.

Curious SeIeetive Powers Exhibited BY
the Tongue.
Four classes-sweet. bitter, salt and
acid-have been assigned to the sense
OF taste in human beings. These four
classes with their combinations pro-
duce all the delicious sensations that
we ascribe to taste as well as all the
disagreeabe impressions OF that sense
The tongue, however, Is not equally
sensitive In all parts to these sensa-
tons. Indeed, it has been SHOWN tnas
different tastes result from the same
stimulus when applied to different
places on the tongue. The tip OF the
tongue, for instance, is most sensitive
TO sweet and to acid tastes, while 1t ID
far less capable of perceiving bitter
taste than any other part Of the organ.
Some persons are unable to perceive
any bitter taste when quinine is ap-
piled only to the tip Of the tongue.
At the back Of the tongue the bitter
ness of the drug is perceived at once.
An explanation Of the curious selec-
tive powers exhibited by the tongue
is that a variety Of nerve 6bers are
present in that organ, each kind being
sensitive only to one of the four prin-
cipal classes Of taste. These nerve B.
bers are distributed In varying num-
bers over different parts of the tongue.
At the tip, for example, the nerves that
are sensitive to sweet and acid stimuli
are most numerous, and accordingly
In that locality those tastes are the
ones most readily perceived. At the
back of the tongue, on the contrary,
the nerve 6bers concerned in the per-
ception of bitterness prevail over the
others.-New York Press.
