OUR FARMERS ARE WASTEFUL
Russia Is Only Country That Does
Not Raise Bigger Yield Of Wheat
Than United States.

A recent issue of The Consular
Trade Reports calls attention to the
wasteful manner in which American
farmers handle their land, emphasiz-
ing thereby the value of the Rookie
Teller educational boards efforts to
open the eyes OF the agriculturists to
the need for intensive farming.
With the exception Of Russia, every
European country raises more wheat
and rye per acre than does the United
States. The increase ranges from SO
to 100 per cent. or more. In oats and
barley two or three other countries
fall behind this tn the average produc-
ton per acre, but our advantage is
slight, not ranging more than s to z
e cent.
Where the average American acre
yields 1879 bushels of wheat, the same
quantity of land in Germany yields
28.4 bushels, and In England 32.4
bushels. Here are further figures:

are sotol and lecheguilla. The oniy re-
lief from the aikalf desert scenery is
the Chisos Mountain range. 80 miles
distant. Where the settler obtained
any water is a mystery.
Practically all of this unsold land is
situated in the region west Of the
Pecos river and bordering on h Rio
Grande. Mr.. Robinson says that a
large part Of the four million acres is
mountainous and unfit for farming
and that the remainder Is a desert
for lack OF water. He travelled dis
tances of 80 to SO miles without find
ing a sign of water.
Mr.. Robinson says he came across
many such evidences of efforts to
homestead tho land. He thinks much
of the territory can be sold to adjoin-
ing ranch owners
It is not expected by Mr.. Robinson
that the state will obtain very big
prices for the four million acres Of
public domain if it should be placed
on the market. 1t is his opinion that
much of it will be purchased by men
who may be able to use portions of it
to some advantage for ranching pur-
poses.
With the disposal Of this remaining
part of the public domain the state OF
Texas will be in position soon to re-
tire from the land business. The land
office will have to be maintained for
a few years longer, perhaps, to attend
to the forfeiture and resale of such
lands as are not paid out on by the
homesteaders now residing thereon.

Trap for Small Animals.

the top was hitched a cover, b. A
string, C, was fastened or one end OF
the cover, and to the other end a
trigger was attached; e is the bait
stick which projects through hole
bored In the upright end of the trap.
To set this trap the cover, b.. is
lifted and the string, C, is passed over
the notched upright and the trigger,
d, is fixed at one end in a notch in
the box, while the other end Is placed
in o notch on the bait stick. Any in
reference with the bait stock releases
the trigger and allows the to
fall.
There is danger sometimes Of an
animal working the cover up. To pre-
vent this a brace, 6, is provided. 1t
is fastened to the upright by a small
hinge, and when the cover is down
fits against a bar, h, thus combining
the animal until released.

The cash buyer Is always sought
after.
There are very few places in our
country where there are no honey
yielding plants.
Horse manure is much better to be
mixed with other n and worked
over by swine.
Vegetables should be roughly d.
vided into two classes-cool and
warm season crops.
Az . class, farmers are not so apt
to be up-to-date In their methods AZ are
men in other caiiinEs.
In planning the garden 1t is well to
arrange the vegetables in the order In
which they are to be planted.
After the crops are planted, ucces
in the vegetable garden depends
chiefly upon thorough and frequent
tillage.
The manure sprcader will pay bet
ter dividends than any other farm
machine that could be purchased by a
southern farmer.
Much loss of time in the planting
of a garden can be avoided by making
definite plan Of the garden several
weeks or even months before the
planting is to begin.
At no season of the year has the
farmers family 10 much to a a. in
the winter. and at no other season Of
the year has he more leisure to enjoy

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the ;
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
aience and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting of druggists here to-
night to protest against h recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con-
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon a doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies.
according to members of the board OF
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo.
one of the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail Of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims of
drugs formed the habit as a result of
using prescriptions given by physf-
clans and only s per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

The axles are of the ~ball-bearing type,

This wagon weighs about $500
pounds, and 60 barrels of produce may
be loaded on it without difficulty. 1t
is customary for two horses to draw
this wagon loaded to market, but the
usual plan is to send two wagons to-
gether, so that the teams a be
doubled up on the sleeper grades,
which are generally short.

Pathetic Reminder Of IN Attempt to

out of the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night.
Father says" she summed it up;
father says, dear, that I will have to
give you UP"
The young man sighed. The it's
all over?" he murmured, with gloomy
interrogation. And the girl laughed
and blushed.

know that when the doctor gives you
up that's just the time for you to a
more hope. Isn't it sometimes that
way?"-Reboboth Sunday Herald.

JOhnston's American Politics" with
an air OF greatest seriousness.
Cooke" he said, half to himself as
he turned the pages, do you remem-
her just what the constitution says
about dukes? Oh, yes; here we are!
Now, Mr.. Duke of Ballywinkle, listen
to what 1t says here In Section 8 of
the Constitution of the United States,
which reads exactly as follows in this
book: No title of nobility shall be
granted by the United States: And no
person holding any office Of profit or
trust under them, shall, without the
consent of the congress, accept of any
present, ~emolunlent, office, or title, Of
any kind whatever, from any king,
prince, or foreign state And it says
in Section 10 that Mo state shall grant
any title of nobility Now, Mr.. Bally-
Wrinkle, 1t is perfectly clear that this
government can't recognize anything
that 1t can't create, for that would be
foolish. As I, the governor of North
Carolina, can't make a duke, 1 can't
see one You are therefore wholly
illegal: it's against the most sacred
law of the land for you to be here at
all; and, painful though it is to me,
1t is nevertheless my duty to order
you to leave the United States at
once, lever to return. In fact, if you
ever appear in the United States
again, ! hereby order that you be
hanged by the neck until you be dead.
One OF Mr.. Cookies men will accom-
pany you to New York tomorrow and
see to it that you take passage on q
steamer bound for a British port. The
crime of having insulted a woman will
still hang yer you until you are well
east OF 8andy Hook, and I advise you
not to risk being tried on that charge
In North Carolina, as my people are
very impulsive and emotional, and
lynchings are not %infrequent in our
midst. You shall spend tonight in
my o1icial caboose some distance
from here, and your personal effects
will be brought from Ardsley, where,
You have said, you r a guest of Mr..
Thomas Ardmore, who is ofiicially un-
known to me. The supreme court
will now adjourn.
Cooke pulled the limp. bewildered
duke to his feet, and dragged him
from the bungalow.

Collins rode up In alarm.

road where 1t became a bridle-path

later he and the reporter rode OF
