mense crops of wheat and fax grown
on lands in the northwest which were
comparatively high and dry, where ir-
rigatiOn could not be practiced and
where three or four years ago there
was no value whatever attached to the
land except for grazing. Thousands
of such acres in the state of Montana
produced from thirty to fifty bushels
of winter wheat on land that cost the
owner from $40 to 500.
The method employed IS very sim
pie Wheat should be sOwn by the
1st of September and should make
good stand by the middle of October
1t is then narrowed and left for the
winter. When it has come up strong
in the spring it is again narrowed Sc
vereIy, and one would think that the
crop was entirely destroyed, but this
rigorous process, in addition to break
ing the hard surface of the soil, which
after the winters snow and spring
rains would be sure to bake in the
summer sun. actually benefits the
wheat by splitting the roots and MAX
ing 1t stool much better.
Dry farming could be practiced to
much advantage even in the so called
humid states. There is scarcely ever
a season when corn. for example,
would not be benefited by twice the
amount of cultivation it receives.
Three times through the rows is all
the average corntield of Illinois. Wis
consin and Iowa ever gets. In such
years as the last two it is a safe as
sertion that for every additional cul-
tivation the farmer would get as his
reward an increase of at least ten
bushels to the acre.-Farm Press

A Startling Disclosure
By F. BARTON HOLMES


was the only feature that suggested a
human being.
The tube was Theoretically sealed and
occupied space twelve feet square
by seven feet high, Enclosed in plate
glass. A steam pipe appeared coming
up through the floor. DR.. Carroll and
several assistants In sterilized gowns
entered the Enclosure. The tempera-
ture was noted and a jet Of steam turn
ed on. Then the sealed end Of the tube
was opened, and after a time the car
tilaginous figure began to assume the
appearance Of q starved human being.
Soon after DR.. Carroll removed it from
the tube and placed it in cushioned
easy chair.
The figure finally opened its eyes, but
Immediately closed them. Then open
ing them again, it fixed them on the
committee. There was something so
uncanny in the stare Of the cOrpse-like
body that several Of the committee,
unable to stand it. left the room.
At this point DR.. Carroll asked the
patient how he felt. He opened his
lips to speak, but the only sound that
came was such as is produced by a
talking doll. 1t was very distressing,
and more Of the committee went out.
DR.. Carroll opened the door Of the
glass Enclosure and asked the commit
tee If they recognized Jonathan Stark
weather. Several committeeman admit
ted that they did, but didn't wish to see
any more of him, whereupon the doctor
took from his pocket a will, properly
drawn, and handed it to Starkweather
with a photographic pen. Starkweather
signed it, and it was witnessed by the
assistants.
Such Is the story whispered among
the younger experimenters at the
Stark weather institute with reference
to the withdrawal Of the suit to break
the Starkweather will on payment of
100000 to the heirs Of the $1,O00,O00
left for the institution. There is one
element Of the story, however, that
casts q doubt upon it's truth. Nothing
is said about what became of the re-
On DR.. Carroll's theory he might now
be walking around. Some say the doc
tor still has him in the big test tube
and Is waiting for the development of
other processes to bring him back to
permanent life. Surely the interests of
scientific research would not be injured
by frank avowal Of the facts.

WOOD RESTORED TO FAVOR.
It Is Holding Its Own In Rivalry With
Other Materials.

Other Materials.
The substitution Of other material
for wood in structural and even in fac
tory and cabinet work has progressed
so far with practically no concerted
effort either to study or to advertise
the desirable qualities Of wood. Now,
however, the country seems to be
waking up and beginning to investi-
gate this subject, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
There are really more desirable quail
tiles about wood than undesirable
ones. There is a striking instance in
the case of the railway tie, illustrating
certain property Of wood that es-
capped attention until time told the
tale Steel, concrete and various other
substitutes were offered and put into
use, being heralded as the great thing
of the future But it was found that
these things were lacking in certain
cushioning qualities possessed by
wood Consequently they were not as
good in actual service as the wooden
tie.
There have been a number Of expe-
riences in connection with metal
spokes and tubular parts Of wagons
and vehicles made of metal instead of
wood. The claim Of greater strength
and wearing qualities was accepted
without question, because people are
impressed with the idea that steel and
other metal have wood backed clear off
the platform when it comes to these
qualities. Yet actual service has
taught manufacturers a few things.
It has taught them for one thing that
metal will not stand shocks as wood
will. and when once kinked or batter
ed it's strength Is seriously impaired
and cannot be restored.
When it Gomez to cabinet work and
interior finish there are so many de-
sirable qualities about wood that there
is no danger of any other material re-
placing it in anything like a general
way so long as there is wood enough
to supply the needs. Indeed, it Is a
safe prediction that 100 years from
now there will be more wood used
comparatively for interior trimming
and cabinet work than there is today.
For one thing, there is no compari-
son in the beauty between the natural
color tone and finish of wood and the
cold limitations of it in metal and con-
crete -Woodworker.

THE CHINESE LOTTERY.
If Ten Figures Correspond Company
Should Pay S35,297.29.

District Attorney Foltz Of San Joa-
ouin county, Cal, requested George
G. Edwards Of the State university
faculty to calculate the chances against
the player in the Chinese lottery game
Mr.. Foltz states the results found by
Professor Edwards.
"A Chinese lottery pays 20 cents on
ten cent ticket where five OF the ten
characters marked correspond with any
five of the twenty characters drawn.
According to the risk taken by the
nlayer. Colonel Edwards finds the lot
tery company should pay $25.SS In
stead Of 20 cents" says the San Fran
cisco Call.
"Where six characters correspond the
lottery company pays s. 1t should
nav S7O66. When seven characters
correspond the lottery company pays
S1S on a ten cent ticket. 1t should pay
So44.S3 T. eight characters correspond
the lottery pays 800. 1t should pay
S1.O51.4S. If nine characters CORE
spond the lottery company pays $3.50.
It should pay $5,516.O4 If ten charac-
ters correspond the company pays $3.50.
1t should pay $35.297. 90"
On the other hand, in the fan tan
game played by the Chinese the player
has an even run for his money. 1t Is
an odd and even game, and the keeper
makes his money from a 10 per cent
dra wback, which he takes out of the
stake.
Is The white lottery swindle is about as
bad as the Chinese; but, although it Is
illegal, it appears to run under police
protection or indifference.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Sow Beans For Silaae.

Only a few farmers in New York
state have tried growing soy beans.
Some have failed to raise profitable
crops: others who did succeed did not
know how best to utilize the crop. Soy
beans are good nitrogen gatherers when
the necessary bacteria are present and
are excellent food for poultry, swine
and sheep, but they are most economi-
cal when mixed with corn in the silo,
thus avoiding the necessity Of using
purcha sed concentrates. The results Of
some experiments with soy beans and
corn grown together are summarized
in New York bulletin.

opinion the body may be kept alive
indefinitely. In that case spiritual
death may be eliminated"
A year after this announcement jon
athan Starkweather the financier, feel
ing i'll, sent for DR.. Evan Carroll, the
man who made it. But before the
doctors arrival the patient had died
Of heart failure Carroll produced an
order signed by Starkweather twelve
months before for the body. Arthur
Starkweather, the deceased's oldest
son, knew of the order, respected It,
and the body was transferred to Dr.
Carrolps laboratory.
Arthur Starkweather inherited his
fathers fortune, but by the will, in
case of his death without issue, it
was to go to Or. Carroll in trust to
endow an institute for scientific re-
search. Two years after getting pos
session of the property Arthur Stark
weather died a bachelor. DIR. Carroll
at once put in a claim for the estate
on behalf of his institute.
Innumerable Starkweathers sprang
up to contest the will.
A meeting was called, a committee
appointed and counsel employed.
A month later counsel Informed the
committee that there was no doubt Of
their ability to break the will, owing
to a flaw in the deed of trust. The
trustees attorneys were so far con-
vinced of this that they made an offer
to compromise. The offer was submit
ted to a meeting Of the heirs at-law
and unanimously declined.
DIR. Carroll, who was present at the
meeting. arose and stated that there
was some doubt about Jonath Stark
wea Their being dead and he might be
capable of making another will. All
were surprised at what was consid-
cred an absurd bluff on the part Of a
man who stood at the head of scien-
tific research in America. Shouts of
Proof produce him. "Show your
hand" were heard from~every quar-
ter. The doctor left the meeting with
out reply. but in a few days every
member of the heirs committee was
invited by him to present himself at
certain hour of certain day at his
laboratory.
Upon arrival they were ushered into
a dimly lighted unfurnished room. in

DRY MEANS GOOD.
Simple Explanation of Improved
Method of Farming.
FOUND PRACTICAL BY TEST.
Thorough TiIIage and Frequent Stir
rina of Soils Surface Lie at Basis of
System Which Is Good Also For
States With Sufficient Rainfall.

What is dry farming? The phrase
has been used much in the last few
years, and yet there is more or less
mystery in some minds as to its mean
ing. Dry farming is nothing more or
less than good farming. It means
thorough tillage and frequent stirring
of the surface of the soil in order to
conserve moisture. 1t is, of course,
practiced with utmost diligence in the
states where the rainfall is compare
lively light and where irrigation has
been the chief method of insuring
abundant crops. In such sections dry
farming, of course. does not mean
strictly dry; it means simply dry in
distinction from wet farming where
irrigation is used.
