New York. which is now fast climbing
toward 5,O0O,OOO. increased over 81 per
cent between 1900 and 1910. Chicago then
increased almost % per cent and Phila-
delphia almost 20 per cent. st. Louis has
now nearly 7OO,OOO people, and Cleve' and
more than 100000, while Baltimore and
Pittsburgh are close upon Cleveland s
heels. One of the fastest growing cities
Of all is Cleveland, which has gained al
most Al per cent in the last ten years.
Not all OF this growth comes from the
farms Some is by immigration and some
from other sources. but great deal Of it
Is from the rural districts, and it means
a less number of producers and more OF
consumers.
Indeed. we are fast becoming nation

each of which has more than 800 popu-
lation. We have three cities of more than
million. five which run from half mil
lion to million in size, and in the quar-
ter-million grade there are eleven, while
thirty-one. New York and Chicago have
now twice as many people as the whole
United States had hundred years ago,
and New York alone has million more
inhabitants than the whole nation had

Indeed, 1t was not until 1890 that we
had single city which contained 100 OOh,
and in 1900 we had only thirty-four mu-

York had 10000: Philadelphia, about 40
600; Boston. $4,000, and Baltimore. 26,OoO.
The smallest incorporated town men,
toned in the list was Erie. Pa, which
then had only eighty-one souls, so few
that it would be a village in the census
Of today.

of the cities do not indicate the enor-

more than six millions. In this sense
Boston has twice the size mentioned in

enormously larger than the census figures
show.

INCUBATORS vs.. HENS

When you want early chicks how
can you induce the hens to become
broody? Maybe some one knows
the secret. We do not. But we do
not need to know it. The question
Of fertile eggs being settled, it is
easy to get a substitute for the
broody hen. Incubators will do the
work at any season. They never
leave their job and chile the eggs,
they never get on the wrong nest,
they never get cranky and break
the eggs.
1t is the early chick that pays. It
gets goodgrowth before the vermin
of summer come to sap it of vitality.
You don't see the early chick mop-
ing around covered with lice and
with no ambition to get rid of them.
The early chick is fit for market at
a time when prices are good. If kept
for laying she begins business in the
fall when the eggs are worth good
money.
After you have the incubator paid
for it is of no expense worth men
tioning to keep running. 1t will
last a lifetime without expensive re-
pairs if we'll cared for. 1t eats nc
grain while doing nothing. How
about the hen? She is an expense al
all times. The only way to keer
her from running you in debt is te
make her lay eggs nearly all the
year instead Of sitting or motherins
chicks. Get posted on incubator.
in time to buy early. Write fol
catalogs now.

In Orchard and Field
qHappenings Of Moment the Man Behind the Pow
INTENSIVE OR EXTENSIVE
Intensive farming was the S,

Intensive farming was the sub
ject discussed at an institute this
winter. The speaker said, Too
many farmers are trying to farm
more land than they can handle.
There are too many half section
farms managed by quarter section
men. Many man gets poor liv-
ing from 100 acres who might do
exceptionally we'll on 40 acres. !"
There is great deal of truth in
this. More farmers are trying to do
too much than there are who farm
too little. The size of the farm does
not indicate the farming ability of
the owner.
Few men seem to realize that it
is better to get so bushels of corn
per acre from 40 acres than get 80
bushels per acre from so acres.
Other grains would run about the
same way. A man will boast that
be has cut 100 acses of meadow. But
how much of the hay spoiled in the
harvest? The fact is, | got caught
with about half of it-couldn't get
the help | needed" So it goes.
Extensive farming is risky business
unless one has a sufficient equipment
and force of workers just when he
needs them. The help problem is
getting more. serious each year.
Some believe that big business, will
develog big men,. Not SO. Big men
develop big business, and business
is not measured by the acre, but by
the bank account.
Intensive farming carried to ex-
tremes calls for specialization. This
is fought with danger. Diversified
farming is always the surest. But
we believe that most farms could be
reduced in acreage to the betterment
Of the land and the fuller expansion
of the pocket-book.

REAL HEN FEVER

We have it from eminent breeders
that today they are greater chicken
cranks than ever. If man or
woman once has the hen fever, he
always has it. There is no inocula-
ton against it. If one says once
upon time he had the hen fever
but got over it, it is sure he never
had it. Ticks cannot stick tighter
than hen fever of the right brand.
Beginning with the man or wom-
an who goes to the show in the
small village for the first time, we
can see that he catches the fever in
a sort of way when decided that his
scrubs must go and that the pure
bred fowls of his heart will take
their place. He buys few hens
and a male and the coming season
shows some of his birds at the local
show to prove to his neighbors that
he had good chickens. When he
finds that some of the other boys
who exhibit have better ones than
he, then does he buy a Standard,
join the local association, send away
for few sittings of eggs and try to
beat his competitors. Ittakes from
three to five years for him to beat
the home boys and then he has the
edge down to so fine point that
he wants to send few of his birds
to the state show and get into hotter
company just to see how much bet
ter others are than his. He visits
one of the local shows about his Sec
ton and perhaps buys a bird or two.
When his birds come home from
the state show and he gets a place
or two in the line of winners his
Joy knows no bounds. Then it is
up to him to go again after the
coveted ribbons and he works for a
year perfecting his line up, only at
the last moment to decide that it is
not as good as it should be, but he
ships to the big show anyhow. He
is a sportsman true and blue and
cannot help it. He feels the call of
the ribbons and the honest sport
and goes into the fight for the fun
and spirit he gets out of it, With
him it is a game that he plays out
side his work. 1t is thing that
takes his mind off business and too
close application to one thing We
have heard that the man who goes
into a hobby deeply is one who
takes his life work seriously and
does it well.
Hen fever never leaves one if they
really get it. 1t sticks for life.
Nothing removes it. If you have
it, humor it. 1t runs smOothest
when one pets it bit. Even if you
cannot have the big farm and the
large ideas all worked out, you can
have as much fun out of it and as
much sport as anyone.

The immense apple crop of the
Northwest becomes only a drop in
the bucket, viewed in the proper
light. If the crop is marketed in a
business-like way and properly dis
tributed twill be a long time before
the Northwest will glut the markets.
The apple crop of California, Color
ada, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Oregon
and Washington probably did not
exceed $1,000 cars in 1910. 600
boxes to the car, 100 apples average
to the box, would make 100000,
600 apples. If properly distributed
so that every inhabitant of the
United States could eat one apple a
day they would eat up every apple
of this wonderful crop grown in
these states in ten days. This is a
plea for greater distribution. Bet

"CoId Air" Course in Schools.
Chicago-A "cold air" course based
upon ideas advocated by Emil Seidel,
Socialist mayor of Milwaukee, is the
latest innovation in Chicago schools.
Class rooms are to be maintained at
different temperatures and the pupils
will be advanced from one room to
another until they are able to stand
a temperature of so degrees without
discomfort. The "cold air" course
is designed for children having a ten
dency to tuberculosis.

INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF
BUTTER-FAT,

A great many farmers and dairy
men seem to entertain the erroneous
idea that they can, by feeding Ger
tain rations, cause their COWS to
produce milk with an increased
amount of butter-fat. The power
of producing a certain amount of fat
is born in the COW and no ration fed
will in any way effect that per cent.
Any change in the per cent of but
ter-fat is due to a change of con-
dition in the COW. An abrupt change
of kind of feed given will sometimes
throw COW out of normal con-
dition and cause her milk to show
an increase or decrease in the per
cent of fat, for few days but as
soon as she regains her normal con-
dition she will again show the old
per cent.
The way to get more butter-fat is
to feed rations that will cause the
cow to give an increased flow Of
milk. Good care and kind treat
ment should be given in liberal doses
also. By a careful system of select
ing and breeding one may increase
the per cent of fat, for that is the
way in. which great breeds of dairy
COWS have been brought to their
present standard. By following this
plan we will have still better COWS
in wears to come.

new WITNESS APPEARS
A Nephew of Colonel Swope Testifies
in the Hyde Case.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 29.-Cross
examination of Stuart Fleming,
nephew of the late Colonel Thomas
H. Swope, for whose alleged murder
DR.. B. Clark Hyde is now on trial, was
resumed by Attorney Walsh for the
defense today. The defense was pre-
pared to interrogate Fleming at
length, having held a long conference
which the events testified to by Flem-
ing yesterday were gone over in de-
tail.
The big feature of Fleming's testi-
mony that DR.. Hyde's attorneys
would break down is the story that
ing and asked him to be made an ad-
mi1,istrator Of the Swope estate 1t
had been previously testified in this
trial by Miss Pearl Kellar, Colonel
Swopes nurse, that DR.. Hyde also
sought her aid in the same matter.
She gave similar testimony at the first
trial, and Dr. Hyde, the witness
stand, denied emphatically the nurses
statement Fleming was not a witness
In the former hearing and the states
main purpose in introducing him this
time is to corroborate Miss Kellar's
statement. This testimony is intended
to help prove Dr.. Hyde killed Colonel
Swope to swell Mrs. Hyde's inherit
ance.
Shots in the Yard.
Efforts of the defense to break
down the testimony of Fleming were
futile. After an hour on the stand
he was excused and Mrs. J. K. Bau-
man, formerly Miss Anne Houlihan,
who nursed Chrisman Swope, was
called. The defense inm ediately OBJ
jected to the testimony as not being
connected with the death of Colonel
Swope. The jury was dismissed While
arguments upon the point were made
Attorney Walsh had just begun to
speak when two shots rang out from
the court yard just below the win
dow of the court room. It developed
that a negro laborer had been shot
and fatally wounded by a policeman
after he had resisted arrest and
thrown pepper in the officers eyes
After a very brief furry of Interrupt
