The three aeronauts, after reaching
high altitude, will begin descending
in their parachutes. Each aeronaut
will make three separate and distinct
parachute leaps from his own balloon.
The balloon races will be in charge
of Professor Hutchinson, and he has
worldwide reputation in his line. The
press all over the country where this
great act has been seen praise it as
being one of the most novel and thrill
ing ever seen.
The management wants it under

old-time single balloon ascension so
common at street fairs and small ex-

Regarding the farmer being inter-
ested in the prosperity Of the wage
Garner and the business man, Mr..
Hill says:
"Our agricultural population 40
years ago was about SO per cent of
the entire population Of the country.
1t is now less than one-third. Forty
years ago the agricultural popula-
ton had to raise food for their own
mouths and for on additional mouth.
Now we have to raise food for two
additional mouths. -.:~.,

A new EXPERIMENT.

An enterprising company is trying
out an experiment in Newark N. j.,
and if it should prove successful! and
profitable, the company proposes to
extend it's operations to other fields
The plan of the enterprise is to fur
nish to subscribers general news,
stock reports, sporting news and ev-
en- advertisements of theaters and
bargain sales, etc., by telephone, to-
gether with instrumental music and
vocal selections interpolated at odd
times, when there is nothing of great
er Importance to communicate. Dur
ing the worlds championship series
between the Giants and the Athletics
scribers complete reports Of the pro-
gress of the games by innings. The
enterprise bears the name of The Tel
ephone Herald and is organized like
daily newspaper. The news and
other information is received through
the ordinary channels and boiled
down to almost skeleton form. But,
instead of being sent to the compos-
ing room, the copy" is turned over
to a reader, who reads the items in
clear and distinct voice, into big
mouth=piece, distributing it simultan-
eously to all subscribers by means
of telephones. AS a novelty the plan
made quite a hit in Newark One de-
partment store had fifty sets of ear
pieces installed for the benefit of it's
patrons and these earpieces were in
great demand all day long. AS the
service begins at eight o'clock every
morning and continues until mid
night, the subscribers who wish to
get the full benefit of the service
would have to stay at the telephone
all day, which, of course, few would
or could do. However, the company
sends out schedule every morning,
which gives the program of the SER
vice for the whole day, specifying the
exact time for the beginning of every
feature. This makes it possible for
the subscribers to arrange things so
they may be able to hear the particu-
lar feature they are specially inter-.
ested in.

James ]. Hill, chairman Of the board
Of directors Of the Great Northern
Railway company, in a letter to Da-
vid Brown, chairman of the Spokane
committee Of the National Country
Life Congress.
Mr.. Hill endorses the aims and
purposes of. the nationwide farm
betterment movement to be launched

says it will do a real service by OBJ

farmer of the country to put into &C.

ant matter is to reach the Individual

highly educated agricultural profess
sor or teacher, when placed upon a.
farm, can do little more, if anything,
beyond adapting his crop to the soil.

cultivate the land-that is all within
the reach of the average farmer.
"He can or should know what crop
his land is best adapted to raise. He
can test his seed by taking a hun
dred grains of each kind and plant
Ing them in a box of average soil and
place the box in a place where the
sun will shine upon it. The number
of grains that grow will give him
the percentage of good seed from
which he will get results. He should
use every particle of barnyard man
ure as fertilizer and he should pre-
pare his seed-bed by thorough Guilt
walton before planting and then it
should be we'll narrowed.
"That is practically all that the
best informed agriculturist could do
under the same circumstances. If
the farmer is successful in raising
full crops think it is fair to assume
that he can be trusted to improve
all his home surroundings and his
social condition, If his farm work
is not we'll done and the results are
! poor crops, the other work will not
appeal to him nor can he afford to
spend much time or money on other
matters.
"Most of the men who discuss az
rlcultural subjects are apt to talk
over the heads of their audience and
to talk about matters beyond the
reach of the average farmer. Many
of our agricultural schools are more
engaged in tourning out teachers
rather than farmers.

self and this can be done by showing
him on his own farm. We have tried
many methods and found that the
only results worth while have been
obtained by showing the farmer
through the preparation of a small
plot of ground, say five acres, how
to cultivate his land.
Manual training would never
amount to anything if the pupil did
not actually make things, and the
same applies to the cultivation of
