They certainly have speeded up the
gospel wagon hereabouts. Every one
has seen the old-fashioned noon day
evangelist at work. He usually stands
upon soap box. he Is sometimes
aided by bunch Of singers whose
voices need immediate patching, and
he is always earnest, but often re-
grettably greasy. Also, a good many
Of him have the habit of passing the
hat by proxy before the wary audi
ence can make its getaway. The
most elaborate old time outfit only
ran to cottage organ in a wagon.
The wagon always wheezed and the
organist knew only the sad tunes
with universe full of joyous melo-
dies to pick from. They don't do it
that way any more. Street evangel-
ism Is on the first speed, along with
everything else. Every noon nova

correspondent of that paper. The
evangelist rides to his daily task In

to speak he stands on the front seat
and steadies himself by holding to the

House Of Hay is Novel Sight at Prai-
rie Farm.

There is strange and novel sight
which may be viewed on the Prairie
Farm at present, and that is a house
of hay. For some time about ten men
have been engaged in harvesting the
marsh hay at the north end of the
farm. The hay on GAO acres was sold
to Lauer g. Beardslee, and they placed
crew of men on the land. Wishing
to be properly housed they baled Il
quantity of the hay and then proceeded
to erect structure Of hay, the bales
being piled up for the sides. The roof
was formed of loose marsh hay and the
completed house makes very snug quar-
ters for the men. There are sleeping
benches and tables within, but from
hay stack.
There are tents also on the grounds
to provide accommodations for the
workers. The rain has delayed the
harvesting greatly and it will now be
necessary to wait until it freezes in
order 10 have the hay dry for baling.
The mar-h hay this year s reported to
be OF a good quality and about 1,5O0
tons will be shipped from this $40 acres
Some 200 tons of hay have been shipped
by the Prairie Farm to Saginaw, and
more will be sent later The crops this
year at the farm are reported to be fair.

ALLOWS SLEEPING IN CHURCH
Massachusetts, Pastor viii Permit
Tired Attendants Upon Services to
Rest Without Disturbance.

Cambridge, Mass.-Sleeping men
will find a welcome at the Union Con.
gregational church here. according to
an announcement made by the pastor
Rev. DR.. Allan Stockdale.
The minister heard recently that
many men were unwilling to attend
church services because OF the fear
that they would disgrace themselves
by going to sleep. This is his reply:
Let them come here; they may GO
to sleep II they want to- They will
not worry me atall; on the other hand.
sleepers often cause me pleasure. The
sleeping man can't find anything tc
complain about In my sermon or write
indignant letters to me afterward.
There are many reasons why men
go to sleep Many have been hustling
during the week, and when they come
into a warm church and restful pews
they can't avoid sleeping. Heavy air
and heavy sermons are also respon
sible. The music is soothing, too. Lei
the man fall asleep; the rest will dc
him as much good as the sermon. per
haps."

Crops for Cut.Over Lands.

In the northern part of the states
of Wisconsin. Michigan and Minnesota
there are large areas of cut-over land,
which only now are being brought un-
der cultivation. Much of this.la is
sandy, and the ordinary methods prac-
ticed on loan and clay soils result in
failure. A careful study has been
made Of the experience OF hundreds OF
men who have attempted to farm
these sandy soils, and the information
obtained by the department of agri-
culture in this study indicates quite
clearly the method by which certain
types of farming can be made success
full In the region. Hairy vetch has
been found to be eminently adapted to
these soils and promises to become
important as seed crop. The de.
partment has also ascertained the
methods by which red clover can be
profitably grown. The sandy soils have
also proved to be adapted to potato
growing when proper methods are fol,
lowed.

SPREAD GOSPEL OF FARMING
immense Amount Of Good Being Done
Throughout the Country by v. S.
Agricultural Department.

An enormous amount Of goon
sork is now being accomplished In
spreading the gospel of agriculture
throughout our country by the gov
ernment in conjunction with farmers
institutes.
During the past year II instruction
trains covering tours of over 10000
miles. were operated. Over 10000 fair
associations are in operation in the
several states. representing a men,
bership of 246,000. The amount paid
In premiums during one year was
over two and one-half million dollars.
In speaking of the results and ef-
fects of this work, Secretary Wilson
said: The awakening of the people
TO the value of agricultural instruc-
ton and to the possibilities of useful
ness through extension teaching has
created demand for this instruction
far beyond the power of the states to
supply. The inadequacy of present
equipment for meeting the agricul.
tural educational needs of rural peo-
pie has become so apparent that sew
eral bills have been presented before
congress looking to additional appro-
priations for carrying on extension
work. The states are also adding an
nually to their appropriations for
agricultural extension in very marked
degree. California during the past
year Increased her appropriation from
$4,000 for institute work to $4,000
per year; Illinois, from S23,65O to
$4,000; Kansas from $27500 to $685.
600; Minnesota. from $4,000 to $685.
600; Nebraska, from $4,000 to ST.
500; New York. $4,000 to $4,000;
Ohio, $4,000 to $26,4O0; Oklahoma,
$4,000 to s1O.5OO; South Dakota.
$4,000 to $4,000; Utah, $4,000 to s10,-
coo. and Washington, $500 to s1O.-
OOO These appropriations show in
an unmistakable way growing interest
In agricultural Improvement by the
states and their confidence in the
value of the work of the farmers In
stitutes as we'll as appreciation OF
what they have done for agriculture
in the past"

GOOD FEED FOR THE COLTS
Scalded Mash or Bran With Oats
Added Is Fine Thing-Once
Week Will Be Found Excellent.
(By r. G. wEATHERSTONE)

(By X. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
In reading an agricultural paper
recently l noticed that an editor ad-
vised farmer to feed a colt during
the winter months a ration of either
corn and hay or oats and hay. no
bran, greed feed or ground stuff.
Now a young colt, whether a year
ling or two-year-old, will not do SO
well on whole grain and hay ration
for five months.
The youngsters have probably
been on succulent pastures all spring
and summer and fall, and when they
are up and fed this dry ration exclu.
sively they miss their grain. Bran is
a very good substitute and a scalded
mash or bran with oats, scalded
added, is fine thing to give once a
week and at night.
This mash will keep the colts in
good condition and will keep their
bowels moving.
Sod fields. rye. wheat, oats or vetch
all make good winter grazing when
the weather conditions permit.
One bushel Of bran to four of oats
or corn will be about the right pro.
portion for colts, in fact for horses OF
all ages.
Keep plenty of salt convenient, but
not in the grain box in the manger
for many horses and colts dislike their
salt mixed with their grain.
lump of rock salt is all right in
the manger, but not loose table salt

Why Old Myths Survive.

The destroyers of fine dramatic
myths tell us nowadays that the
Caliph Omar did not burn the ancient
library of Alexandria, and therefore
did not have chance to say that all
the books in it that agreed with the
Koran were superfluous, and all that
disagreed with the Koran were PERM.
cious. Doubtless the perennial fresh
ness and vitality of the tale are due
to an everlasting normal human ha.
tired Of weed-grown, literary grave
yards.
