other ships this spring, south of Scot.
land lightship. The liner has just ar
rived here from the West Indies.
At two bells a line of long black OBJ
jects rising and falling on the surface
of the sea was made out. Strung to-
gether, the glistening bodies looked a
monster about 1000 feet long, They
were only 400 yards from the ship.
As Captain Tarnow, who had been
called to the bridge, was sending for
the steamers photographer, the seem

HAIR CUT BY A SQUIRREL
Rodent Barber Gets Busy on Thatch
of Sleeping Oregon Pho
%tographer.

Ernest J.. Bloom, a Photographer
of Hood River, Ore, who has been
passing the last two weeks at the
ranch Of r. E. Scott, secretary of the
Commercial club, returned home with
a portion of his hair gone.
Mr.. Bloom had been working in the
garden and making a lawn on the
ranch. He was taking a nap after
lunch when a squirrel that had been
making its home in the house this
winter, evidently thinking his long
black locks would make an excellent
lining for a nest, trimmed off a por-
tion of the hair while he slept.
The rodents teeth must have been
sharp" says the photographer, for l
could scarcely feel him at work there
cutting away the hair. l must have
moved in my sleep and in his excite
ment he evidently pulled some of the
hairs out instead of cutting them.
This awoke me and l let out a yell
that almost frightened the squirrel to
eath."-Portland Oregonian.

MANILA A MODEL FOR CHINA

Widening and Cleaning
Her Streets.

Pekin, China.-The new republic of
China indeed will have to make some
dizzy strides in civic improvements
to bring her streets up to the stand
ard set by more modern cities else
where throughout the world. The
cities Of China are notorious to trav-
elers for their narrowness and I'M
cleanliness. Often they are more
crooked than the meander Of a noun
tain stream, and are fit for pedestrian
traffic only. This condition prevails
TO more or less extent in all Asiatic
cities, and when we occupied Manila
a similar condition confronted US. For
a long time our officials tried to be
content with the crooked streets. but
1t was known that sooner or later
they must be widened, Strengthened.
and otherwise improved. Manila has
many streets as dark, narrow and
irregular as any to be found in Can

Certain prisoners, Mr.. Blake asserts,

men well known in various walks of

FuRRow OPENERS.

The use of furrow openers Of vari-
u descriptions has become popu-
lar In the last few years, 1t is
claimed that they leave only fine dirt
on top Of the seed, and the small
trench is very easy to fill and bury
all weeds, making the land perfectly
level instead Of ridged.
On the fiat prairies, corn should
never be planted in any sort Of a
furrow, as the water stands badly
enough there without making a
place for 1t on top Of the corn. On
lands having a porous sub-soil where
water does not stand, their use may
be well recommended.

of their most valuable qualities, since
most of our soils are lacking in this
important element. Unlike cereal
crops, cowpeas, along with clover, al
falfa and soy beans, have the power
of taking nitrogen from the air. (2)
They improve the physical condition
of the soil. 1t is commonly observed
that after a crop of cowpeas the soil
is usually loose, making it especially
suited to corn-growing. (3) CowpeaS
make a hay that is the equal Of clover
for either cattle or sheep. A ton and
a half is about ar average yield, while
If grown for seed a yield of 8 to 20
bushels of grain should be obtained.
There are a few more or less i'm
portant drawbacks to growing cow
peas in Missouri. The cost of seed
for planting an acre of ground is con-
siderable more than for corn. Using
a bushel per acre, it will cost about
1925 to seed an acre of cowpeas. On
the other hand, a bushel of corr will
seed seven acres and need not cost
more than $3.50.
and the problem is to SO understand
methods of production that there will
be NO danger of any decrease in yield.
The members of the Missouri Corn
Growers Association organized the
Mems Acre Yield Contest to study
methods and cost Of production, and
every energetic corn grower in Mis-
souri, should cooperate with them in
this work.
Mr.. Morris McCauley Of Doniphan,
Missouri, won the $4,000 sweepstakes
prize offered in the 1912 contest with
Ia yield of 81 bushels and A pounds of
corn from one acre. Mr.. McCauley
used p~ure-bred seed corn; he selected
his seed early in the fall, stored it in
a seed room, and tested 1t to make
sure of a high termination percentage
before planting. In this way he elm
mated the factor that cuts the yield
on many acres of Missouri corn.
Several hundred dollars in prizes
will be awarded in the %acre-yield con
tests alone at our next annual show.
Send in your names today and enter
the contests. You are elibible even
though you have planted your corn.
for you are allowed to select your acre
from any field which you may have
in corn.
