INCREASING YIELD PER ACRE

! Minneapolis Journal: The small
average yield per acre of cereals in
the United States as compared with
the acre yield in other and older coun-
tries less favorably situated, has long
attracted the attention Of economists
and agricultural publicists. The rea-
sons for it are easier to find than the
remedies. Indeed many American
farmers are distinctly opposed to rem
edies. ....
The theory obtains in many agricul-
tural communities that the result Of
improving methods of raising wheat,
for example, would be such an increase
in the total production as to bring
down to a muh lower level the price
for the product. Thus the farmer, aft
er the expenditure of much additional
labor and money, would get no more
in the aggregate for his wheat yield
than he gets now with primitive land
Swimming methods.
The reasoning is, of course, falla-
cious. No widespread reform in cul-
tivating methods could be so quickly
effected as to influence greatly the
yield in any one year. And prices are
made by the world yield, so that the
American farmer who, by better
methods of cultivation, increases his
average yield, will reap a rich re-
ward
The gospel of better farming is be-
ing preached now to larger audiences
than ever and its evangels are doing a
great work. But much more remains
to be done. 1t is a work that means
better living to the farmer and a
better supply to the consumer.
Among the remedies for underyield
of cereals one often overlooked is
drainage. Every farm should be stud
led from the drainage standpoint and
drained. Not only does this mean
better growth of the crop, but saw
ing of the invaluable top soil of the
high rolling fields which otherwise
heavy rains speedily carry away.
The problem of fertilization is, of
course permanent. Its sound philoso-
ply is that one must put back into the
soil the equivalent of wheat one takes
out there is no better or more prof
liable way of doing this than by the
keeping of cattle. Commercial fertiliz.
ers may be needed in special cases, but
the immemorial tradition of agricul-
ture which makes cattle an important
link in the chain of production is as
sound today as ever it is. Indeed, the
present scarcity of beef cattle in this
country, and the prospects of further |
the supplies because of the
drouth in the southwest, furnish spe.
cial and additional reason why every
farmer should establish and maintain !
a herd of cattle.

HEAD A MASS OF PIMPLES

Hyattsville, Md-"My little boy was
taken with an itching on the scalp.
There was an ashy place on his head
about the size of ten-cent piece, and
the hair was falling from this place
by the roots. In about ten days all
over his head were these ashy spots
which looked like ringworm, but were
porous-like. The itching and burning
made him scratch a great deal. His
head had gotten SO that it was just
mass of ,mattery little pimples all
heaped on each other, and when I took
off his night-cap, the hair and flesh
came off at the same time. 1 really
thought he would lose his whole scalp.
He couldn't sleep for five weeks, 1t
would itch and burn until I thought
he would go into commissions.
81 used different soaps and salves
to no satisfaction. Then 1 decided to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Finally / noticed he began to sleep all
night. I used one cake Of Cuticura
Soap and one box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and he was entirely cured. He
has better growth of hair now than
he had at first" (Signed) Mrs. Ida

Planning for Summer.

If you are planning to take pleas
ure or business trip during the sum
mer, try getting pillow and KNAPP
sack" ready now. Cravanetted ma
terial is a good choice for the pillow,
as it is impervious to occasional wet
tings, and can be laundered. Or the
pillow may have an extra cover OF
smooth linen or silk, to be slipped
over and fastened securely with but
tons or snap fasteners. This should
be about half a yard square, with
strong straps at the upper corners by
which to hang it over the chair top,
preventing it from slipping down.
The knapsack is just fit bag, with
stout strap to hold or hang it by, and
can be made to sling over the shout
der. if desired. 1t should have few
small pockets on the inside and a flap
to fasten down. II this one can carry
small necessities, a book, or other
articles, which a traveller always finds
a use for.

ALARM BOX LOCATES FIRE
New Signal System Flashes Message
to All Parts of the
Building.

A fire alarm box which indicates the
floor on which the fire is located, and
also in what part, designed particular
ly for factory buildings in which
large number of women are employed,
has been brought out by Brooklyn
inventor.
Boxes are placed on each floor. In
case of fire, the alarm is sounded by
pushing the button indicating the part
of the floor where it has started. If
the fire is at the east end, for in
stance, the button marked east is
pushed. This sets off an alarm bell
on all the boxes in the building and
Eliminates number and letter to in
dictate the fires position. If, for ex-
ample, the fire is near the center OF
the third floor, &c" will be illumi-
mated on every box. This tells every
person in the building the location OF
the fire and enables them to determine
the safest way to take to reach place
of safety.-Popular Mechanics.

"KING OF TANNING ISLANDS"
Father Emmanuel Rougier, Known BY
the Above Title, Said to Be
Worth 100000.

Father Emmanuel Rougier, known
In the South Pacific as king Of the
Tanning islands," was among the pas
sengers on liner from Honolulu.
The islands Of Christmas and Fan
ming were sold recently by Father
Rougier to a British syndicate for
100000.
Il am still interested in Christmas
and Tanning islands, which l sold to
a British syndicate. They are now
being developed for copra on large
scale Father Rougier is the owner
Of other coral dots in the far south
seas, which are rich in copra and
phosphates, and which he appears to
dispose of as real estate dealer
might corner lot.
Father Rougier went to the south
Pacific islands as a missionary quar-
ter of a century ago. His life's his
tory among the natives has been one
of adventure and evangelical work
among the wild tribes
Father Rougier. who is said to be
worth more than S1,000,000, is known
all through the south Pacific and
the antipodes, where he occasion
ally pops up after a quiet sojourn in
Europe.
The romance of the south seas
clings to him wherever he goes, and
although he makes frequent trips to
the outside world, he always returns
to the isle dotted waters of the trop-
les.
1t is said that Father Rougier knows
more about the strange islands that
jut above the bosom of the Pacific
south of Honolulu than any other
white man who has been in the wa
tiers. He knows their location and
has visited the majority of them. Fa-
Their Rougier wears the garb of his
clerical vocation, whether in the cap
itals of Europe or in copra grove OF
some distant islet.

Cows confound City Boy.

According to story told at a recent
dinner by Representative Mccoy OF
New Jersey, little five-year-old Jimmy
was city boy with absolutely no
knowledge of the country. In fact, he
had never seen the country until he
was taken to the hay zone to visit an
uncle who owned a farm.
Walking out with the uncle one
morning Jimmy saw his first COW.
Naturally he was greatly interested.
Uncle WILL" he cried, staring with
all his eyes at Old Brindle, what is
that thing?"
That is a cow" was the smiling re-
Spouse of Uncle Will.
And what are those things on its
head?" queried Jimmy, indicating the
cows horns.
Those are her horns" answered
Uncle Will, as they continued along
the road.
They had not proceeded very far
when the COW loudly mooed. Instant
ly Jimmy stopped and glanced back.
Say, Uncle WILL" he remarked. Il
wonder which one of them horns it
blowed" -Philadelphia Press.

burns, buries or does something else
