Hossing off Corn.

The practice of hogging off
corn is one that is meeting with
much favor among hog pro-
ducers, says a Missouri State bull
letin. The scarcity of farm Ia
Dor, the cost OF harvesting and
the further fact that it has been
demonstrated that more pounds
of pork may be produced from
an acre of corn when harvested
by the hogs themselves are good
reasons for the growing popular
ity of the practice. Nor must

each and every character of
road in different stages of COM

modern and up-to-date machinery
for building roads. There will
also be types of culverts, subsoil
drainage and other features of
road building. There will be a
large exhibit of enlarged photo

Newspaper Support.

A newspaper, if it has any
brains, conscience and muscle
back of it must continually de-
eide between doing its duty and
injuring its pocket. In any po-
sition but that of an editor the
public is able to separate the in
dividual home from the collect
i've citizen. But if an editor
does not please them its at his
pockets they aim. Thus it is the
newspapers learn W no their
friends are. The man who reads
the newspaper and admires it all
the year around, yet gives his
business to some other concern,
whose principles or the actions
of its editor he detests, and the
man who never is a friend of the
newspaper until he wants fav-
or granted by the newspaper, is
not friend to the former news
paper. Admiration alone will
not run a newspaper. There are
too many men who expect an ed
itor to slave in defence of their
pet notions and cody withhold
the business support by which
alone a country newspaper can
live.
Talk about a paper having a
public duty to perform, and an
editor having to. work for his
principles, is cheap when others
stand back and extend a luke
warm neutrality. The result is
the editor may starve while lab
oring for his principles and the
cause of right and justice, which
they admire, but do not support.

Where Are the Does?

The amount collected as tax on
dogs, over and above what is
necessary to pay the owners of
sheep for stock destroyed. is by
law turned over to the school
fund. The amount varies each
year with the number of dogs
assessed and the demands made
upon the fund by the sheep own
ers. The latest report from
Frankfort shows a material fall
ing off in the number of dogs in
the State. AS a consequence
the school fund will suffer.
Has there really been falling
off in the number of dogs, or
have the assessors done their
duty in the matter? We are in
clined to believe that the asses
sors are negligent. There is no
particular incentive in listing the
dogs, because there is no partic-
ular pay in it to the Assess or. 1t
is somewhat like the old vital
statistics law, where the Asses
sors and clerks were required to
furnish a lot of statistical inform
alton without compensation.
Perhaps the best plan would be
to require a listed dog to be tag
ged, so that all could see wheth-
err a dog had paid the tax or not.

About Our SOiIS-Heat PenetrateS
Only Three Feet Down.

Probably not one person in ten
will give an answer that is even
approximately correct. Their re-
plies generally vary from one
inch to many hundreds of
feet. Actually, the distance is
about three feet. Beyond this
depth the temperature Of the
soil does not vary appreaciably
from hour to hour, let the mid
day be never so hot and the mid
night never so cold. At this
depth the mean temperature in
the summer is about So degrees
Fahrenheit, and in the winter
about SO degrees Fahrenheit.
And the annual difference?
Thatiis to say, the depth at which
there is some difference between
the summer temperature and that
of the winter? Well, a depth of
60 feet it is impossible to meas
ure any change due to the chang
ing seasons overhead. Go down
only 40 feet and it is minute
hardly measurable. But at Is
feet to 80 feet it is quite a def
mite amount.
The surface heat must take a
long while to penetrate down.
ward. In fact, curiously enough
the change in temperature of the
ground takes more than six
months to reach the end of its
twenty.foot journey. Thus, we
are faced with the phenomenon
of midsummer upon the surface
occurring at the same time as
midwinter 25 to 80 feet down,
the vice versa.
AS most people are aware, the
temperature increases with the
depth. At three feet down the
average annual mean is just short
of "a degrees Fahrenheit, while
at Is it is just over a degree
more, that is, AZ degrees Fab
renheit.
In agricultural districts you
will hear farmers in the same
village talking about cold"
soils and warm soils. This
although it sounds improbable to
those who have never had any
thing to do with the land, is an
actual fact.
Everybody knows, from per-
sonaI experience, thatiblack cloths
are hotter to wear when hot sum-
mer's sun is shining than white
ones, hence the "fiannels" for
men and the white frocks for
girls. The reasod for this is
that black and other dark colors
absorb heat, while white and the
lighter shades reflect it. And
this applies to soils equally with
cloths.
Those soils which by their in
gradients are a darker color are
literally warmer than their
lighter neighbors. Peaty soils,
some of which are nearly black,
others a rich dark brown, are
the warmest. Light colored
clays and chalk the coolest,
