WHY THEY STAY.

Folks living in security on the high land watersheds far removed from the Missouri and Mississippi river bot toms, wonder sometimes why folks persist in living where the water level in these rivers is higher than the beds they sleep in at night and where in time of spring freshets they are likely to be drowned out of house and home. The sec-et 3s this persistence may be accounted for in part by the fact that many of these people are of limited re- sources and have not the wherewithal to buy land elsewhere. but in larger part because these lowlands, overflow ed as they are with the silt laden wa ters at fioodtime. are as fertile and productive as was ever the valley of the Nile

WHY IT PAYS.

Briefly. the philosophy of the advan- tage of clover growing lies in this fact that, while ton of clover hay takes from the soil about $8 in fertilizing elements. there is added to the soil through the root systems. which take nitrogen from the air. about the same volume of fertilizers. This means that one can grow clover and just about keep even However. if one feeds this clover hay on the farm and returns the manure to the soil the farm will be the gainer by approximately $4 worth of fertilizers for every ton of hay pro- duced It is due to this fact that sec tions where dcirying is carried on and where cattle anl sheep are fed become more fertile and prosperous as the years 20 by.

PRESERVING EGGS.

Now that the season of cheaper eggs is at hand there may be some readers who will want to preserve some for fall and winter use. One Of tue best methods of a good many that have been tried is by the use of the water glass solution, or sodium silicate
 This chemical costs about 30 cents a quart and can be got at most any drug store. This should be thoroughly mix ed with water that has been boiled and cooled at the rate of quart of the wa ter glass to nine quarts of water. The best receptacle to use is an earthen- ware vessel. which should be scalded out before being used. Only clean. fresh and uncracked eggs should be put down. The jar containing the eggs should be put in a cool place and covered with Sacking or board cover to prevent evaporation of the solution. Experience shows that eggs laid in April and May will keep longer than those secured in other months.

A LIVE STOCK SPECIAL.

The good work which is being done along the line of animal husbandry in
 the Wisconsin State Agricultural col Iege at Madison is being spread abroad in the southern and western parts of the state this spring by means of the running of live stock specials. officials of the several railroads cooperating in admirable fashion with representatives from the college. Not only are lec- lures on the advantage of raising i'm proved breeds of stock given, but rep resentatives of the several kinds of domestic animals are taken along as object lessons to drive home the argu- ments presented in the talks. It is good work that is being done and means benefit for all parties concerned

rHENFLY CROP.

While it is impossible to forecast the weather or tell just how large the diff ferent crops will be, there need be no guesswork on the question of flies. It is safe to take it for granted that there will be the usual number of the dirty nests. It is true there are not as many of them about right now as there will be in eight weeks, but it is none too early to begin waging a vigorous ca1n- paign against them The fight against them should be waged along two gen eral Iines-first, reducing their breed ing places to a minimum, and, next, to destroy them with traps and poison as soon as they put in an appearance The several prepared fly dopes are ex- cellent. but care should be taken to see that they are kept out of the reach or little children. Another dope that IS not harmful to the human is made by adding a couple of tablespoonfuls of formalin to a pint of water and placing this in shallow dishes where the flies gather. X little sugar and few drops of vinegar will serve to increase its drawing power. The most effective trap is made by inserting cone made of wire screen with small hole in the tip in the bottom of a barrel or smaller receptacle with wire sides. made fly tight This should be put where the flies gather, raised three or four inches on supports and a dish of some sweet stuff placed beneath to more effectively draw the flies They will creep up this cone into the trap, and the more flies there are trapped the more will want to get into 1t

curwoRM AGAIN.

While gardeners in many sections or the country have been hoping that there would be a letup in the cutworm pest this spring. indications point to the contrary Gardeners who nave made early hotbeds find the worms al- ready at work and doing much dam age. If one is compelled to wage campaign against the worms there IS DO better way than moistening bran or clover or alfalfa hay in solution of paris green and scattering the bait along rows of newly set plants. As the worms do most of their work at night. the bait should be scattered in the evening. They will feed on it dur ing the night and kick the bucket the next morning.

JUST A TRADE FIGHT.
Explosion Near Hotel Not Result of
Taft'S Visit

Washington, D. c., Dec. 26.-An explos-
ion in the park opposite the TivoH hotel
which occurred while the president was
attending ? dance given in his honor at
the National theater at Panama last night
is reported in dispatches to the Panama
legation here today to have been the out
growth Of business rivalry between two
IRE, CT ants in the vicinity.
The dispatches state that the explosion
occurred outside the district traversed by
President Taft which was guarded by a
line of police from the starIon to the Ma
tional theater.
while President Taft was at the dance
an explosion occurred at DeDesseps plaza
in front of the Hotel Tivoh and blew up
the newsstand at the hotel" says the
dispatch to the legation. THE cause of
the explosion is believed to have been
jealousy and revenge between two Span
ish rivals in business
Valdez gave out at the legation here to-
day official reports from this government
stating the minister of foreign affairs had
reported the matter to Mr.. Taft who WAS
convinced that the explosion had been
in no way connected with his presence in
the city.

THE ruling was made" said Secre-
tary Cooper, mot because anyone has
made himself Objectionable by singing
these questionable songs. but merely to
insure that the Y. NJ. c. A. policy of
providing the best moral conditions for
the young men should be carried out in
this detail as in others.
For many years 1 have noticed a
steady lowering in the moral tone of
the average popular song. Today many
of them are unspeakable-
TT is not so much the actual, literal
meaning of the words sung that is OBJ
jectionable as it is the connotation, the
idea obviously implied, or that one is
liza BILE to anticipate, that constitutes the
peculiarly vicious effect of these songs
Popular music today is at its lowest
ebb. But even if it cannot show brains,
il at least can show decency, and I
would welcome any movement designed
to this end"

Escapes From Prison in Tree
Top House

| San Francisco, Calf, Dec. 26-Stories
of perilous adventure in the jungles Of
Brazil which included a night escape
| from cannibals nine days after they
had begun to fatten him for a tribal
feast, were told today by Guy DeVille-
pion, newspaper correspondent and ex-
plorer. who arrived here on the Pacific
Mail steamer City of Sydney yester-
day. .1sr
Two years ago DeVillepion, who is
a young man, set out from San Fran
into the hidden countries of South
America. From the mouth of the
Orinoco river he planned to journey
three thousand miles by water through
Venezuela. Brazil and Argentina.
From Cuidad, Bolivar. he started
a camera and a guide. Nine days after
the start the guide stole his outfit and
padded away while he slept.
Lost and almost helpless in the will
dernesS the young explorer struggled
through the forest by foot Food gave
and small turtles which he ate I'M
cooked.
On the third day of his wanderings
he encountered a group of savage ma
tives whom he describes as half mon
keys They addressed him in a harsh
cultural lingo and took him to their
village
There he was put In house in a tree
top and before long he found that he
was a prisoner The best food of the
natives was served to him. After
week of luxurious fare DeVillepion re-
allied that the cannibals were planning
to roast him for a feast.
BY night he slipped out of his prison
and away into the dense wilderness.
Good fortune was with him and after
several days of aimless marching he
stumbled into a camp of Portuguese
rubber planters. They befriended him
and aided him to return to the coast.
In the o-Japanese war DeVille-
pion was correspondent for the China
Times and was in Port Arthur during
the siege.

In addition to caring for the sick,
declares DR.. Babcock, the hospital is
well equipped for scientific investiga-
ton, and to the work done under DR..
Musgrove, its head surgeon, the inn
proved health of the Philippines is
largely due. An invaluable knowledge
of Oriental disease has been acquired
in the hospital laboratories, and this
knowledge has made possible the in
telligent fighting of epidemics.
At this hospital also native nurses
and doctors are being trained. The
Filipino women have taken a keen
interest in the work, and many of
them have been graduated as physi-
clans and surgeons.
During her visit to Japan DR.. Bah
cock mentioned an operation that she
had once performed for some facial
defOrmity. She was surprised shortly
afterward to find herself heraIded as
a beauty doctor" and could, had she
so desired, have done remunerative
business taking tucks in double chins,
remodeling recalcitrant noses and
smoothing furrowed brows.
