GROW ARTIFICIAL FOOD.

Artificial production of food by
merely chemical processes has always
been a dream of the scientific man.
A recent discovery brings this within
the possibilities, provided the chem
ist is allowed the organic cell to start
with. Prof. w. H. Lewis and his
wife of Johns Hopkins are reported
to have caused cellular substances to
grow indefinitely outside of the or
ganisms to which they originally be-
longed.j DR.. Lewis now suggests that
this may enable men to "grow meat"
on a commercial scale. A common
tator says: "What DR.. Lewis and his
wife claim to have actually accom-
plished is this: They have aiken
pieces of chicken, placed them in a
saline solution and grown chicken
meat. They have discovered that it
is possible to cut off some of this
chicken meat without hindering fur
her growth, and the process can be
epeated indefinitely. They also
claim that the process can be applied
10 any sort of flesh"

MEXICAN INCIDENT.

An order has been issued by the
minister of Governacion to return
the printing presses belonging to
Fedrico Perez Fernandez that were
conflscated by the federal govern
ment in July, 1906. According to
statement issued recently by the
department Fernandez ran a paper
called Ell Comillo Publico, and when
one of his articles offended the gov
eminent he, with others, was impris-
oned and the property taken. Some
of the men arrested with Fernandez
died in prison. The editor was re-
leased after serving three years. The
presses were kept busy by the au-
thorities, and it was only recently
after an investigation by the depart
ment Of justice and Gobernacion,
that 1t was decided that the pro-
ceedings had been illegal.-MeIican

BuslnessiIke Yankee Girl Had Decided
TO Keep That for Formal
Occasion

An old Yankee farmer lay on his
deathbed. He was so far gone that
the doctor told his daughter that she
could indulge him in anything he
might crave in the matter of food, to
the end Of making him happy if pos
sible, as nothing could delay the end
or really hasten it. The daughter
asked her father if there was any
particular thing that his appetite
fancied.
eyes," whispered the old man, ga
bit Of fine cake with lots of nuts and
currants in it."
A woman neighbor, who heard the
old fellow express his desire, had a
fine fruit cake made, rich enough
to produce an attack Of acute indi-
gestion in a wooden Indian. The
doctor heard of it and was not
pleased with the old mans choice,
but, having given his permission, he
inquired the next day when he called
how it suited the patient and how
he had enjoyed it.
"Well, sir" the daughter replied,
'to tell you the honest truth, father
hasn't had a taste Of the cake"
"And why not?" the doctor want
ed to know.
'Well, sir" said she, cit was per-
fectly beautiful cake that we hadn't
the heart to cut into it and so we
are just keeping it for the funeral"

Now is the time to take special
care of the complexion if you wish
it to look well the rest of the year.
The February winds bring out
freckles that will stay all summer
unless removed now with othine-

This prescription for the cure of
freckles is the discovery of an en-
inent skin specialist, and so uni
formly successful that it is sold by

freckles even vanishing entirely.

The demand for high-clsss seed
expands faster than the supply in
creases. The number Of farmers
who have learned that it pays to
sow good seed is relatively greater
than the number who aspire to the
remunerative industry of produc.
ing surplus seed of desirable va.
rieties and strong vitality. A lit
tie brains and a little pains ex-
pended in selecting, breeding and
cultivating good farm seed make
great gains in the annual income.
Farm seeds are hiqh-priced this
year. A wet fall with freakish
frosts sapped the vitality from
ears that were not harvested early
and stored with great care. The
seed corn Submitted for testing in
the Iowa statewide boys corn
contests only tested about 10 per
cent. in vitality. There is very
little vigorous seed corn offered
for sale, and what is on the mar
ket will not last long. An ear-by-
ear test of termination would
show that many a farmers suppos-
eddy strong seed corn is practically
worthless. If he tests it immedi-
ately.ihe may be able to secure
fresh seed to replace it. 1t is pre-
dicted in some..ouarters that seed
corn may go to $15 bushel by
June.
Alfalfa and clover seed are also
scarce and hig-priced. Every year
of late the purchase of alfalfa
seed has gained on production.
There are perhaps a hundred far
mers experimenting with alfalfa
in a small way for each farmer
who is making the most of ia
vorable location for seed produc-
ton. Alfalfa may be grown all
over the United States, but first
class seed is produced in a compar-
atively restricted portion of the
West. Whenever a farmer Sc
cures small patch of thrifty al
falfa, his next desire is for a big
acreage of this profitable feed
making crop. There is a good
market in sight for the seed.

1t is human nature TO wish for
the things just out of reach. Thor
o ;ghly acquainted with the un-
pleasant features of the present
occupation, one learns mainly of
the brighter side of the work and
amusements of other people. The
darker side is kept in the back
ground by the effort of people to
present a brave front to the world.
Thus city people look longingly
toward the country, while farmers
sons and daughters imagine that
the city hold the greater measure
of opportunity and happiness.
The traffic experts of the New
York lnterurban lines find that the
young people within the radius of
intururban transportation gain in
creased contentment in farm life.
While still living on the farm they
are enabled to enjoy the advanta-
ges of city friendships, sights and
amusements. They also learn of
the hardships and dangers of city
life without suffering from them.
With an understanding of both
sides of the city life, boys and
girls reared in farm families are
likely to choose the free, healthful,
substantial life of the country.
The extension of agricultural
education to rural schools is solv-
ing another phase of the problem
of keeping the boys and girls on
the farm. Fully informed regard
ing the possibilities of profitable
farm practices, the young people
see the wide-open door to full
measure of satisfaction in rural
life. On a number of irrigation
projects land in connection with
centralized schools has been devo-
ted to Government and State dem
onstrations of suitable crops and
cultivation. These teach the chill
dren the very latest scientific dis
coveries. Accustomed to rural
life, informed from childhood on
farming methods, and by direct
observation fortified against the
seductions of the city, the children
should grow into contented en-
joyment of rural prosperity.

The matchmaking Bill.

The following is from the Herald
and Presbyter: Senator Luke Lea
OF Tennessee has just introduced in
the United States senate the inter
state anti-gambling bill, previously
introduced in the house by Congress-
man T. w. Sims of the same state.
1t is a twin Of the interstate liquor
law, and they ought to be driven
through as a span, or better still,
three abreast with bill not yet in
troduced in this congress to Orbid
interstate transmission of prize fight
pictures and description. This anti
gambling bill ought to receive the
support not alone of churches, but
even more of the commercial bodies,
as a like bill was supported by the
Merchants Association OF New York,
for millions of dollars are being
drained from forty-one states that
forbid gam bling into seven backward
states and Mexico and Canada, in all
of which race gambling is licensed
mainly for the profit to be secured
from the progressive anti-gamblIng
states through the interstate tele-
graphing of the odds and bets"
