FOR LOVE OF II
Aberdeen Farmer Who Handles
His Place on Expert
ment Plan

Abex ieen, Jan. 17.-Isaac Lincoln,
of this city, operates a farm of l, 700
acres Just for the love of the thing and
of his neighbors.
The fact is, Mr.. Lincoln's country
place is a great experimentation. A
glimpse of some of the things done
on the farm will give an idea of
what the man is trying to do in gen
eral.
One of the problems of agriculture
is that of subsoiling. Does it really
pay2 Some farmers say it does not.
Mr.. Lincoln decided to find out. He
began his experiments in 1911, in
that and the two following years sub
soiling altogether $50 acres. Part of
the land subsoiled in 1911 was put
into corn in 1912. and then in wheat
in 1918. On the land put into whest

His principal interest is in cattle.
He has on his farm something like
225 cattle. OF these, about forty are
polled Durhams. The rest are Gallo.
ways, fully 100 Of which are reRis-
tered. The Galloways are fsvorites OF
the Lincoln farm because of their
hardness, their ability to withstand
the bitter cold weather and their quick
maturing qualities.
\. Mr.. Lincoln's idea in keeping the
polled Durhams is to encourage the
raising of cattle that will not only be
good mixers, but will produce good
steers. He is conservative 10 far al

but maintains that such an animal
has a place with the small farmer who

CLEARING THE LAKE
An Ingenious Device for Re-
moving Weeds Used with
Great Success

As the Commercial club is about to
take up for discussion the matter of
identifying Lake Madison, the fol-
lowing suggestion of how such work
is accomplished is presented for their
information:
Several years ago the city of Hsr-
risburg, Pa, was greatly troubled by
a lake about a mile long that formed
in one of its principal parks owing
to the completion of a flood control
works. The ground submerged by the
lake was a former swamp, and by
the middle of the summer the lush
grass, cato nine tails and spatter
dock had grown far above the surface
of the water, seriously interfering
with the passage of boats aud canoes
and giving the lake the general ap-
p~earance of a neglected swamp.
THE question was finally solved
in a novel and very satisfactory man
ner. A weed saw was purchased at
a small expense and work begun at
once. The weed saw was little more
than a steel tape about one quarter
of an inch wide having both edges
stamped out TO form thorn-like teeth.
Upon this band at ineTvals of about
fifteen feet were fastened lead weights
to compel the saw TO follow the contour
of the bottom.
'"The method of operation consisted
simply of dragging the saw back and
forward from one end of the lake &c
the other. This was easily accom-
plished by hand lines attached tt
| each end. One man stayed in the
middle in a boat to clear the saw
| when it fouled. and two more were
on fatboats near the bank to operate
it.
1.-The water surface involved WA
about 122 acres, and of this nearly
so per cent was covered with til,
weeds. Since the first cutting no sign'
of the growth have reappeared.

WALL ST. MAY REMAIN GL OSED
 DURING WAR

New York, Aug. 3-StocIx exchange .brokere reconeiled themselves today to the probability of prolonged sus- pension of the market here. W G. of govrnors, said he believed it possf- bIe the exchange would remain closed while the European war was on. ]
 Although immediate resumption of business is not expected, brokers have .hesitated to dfsorganize their maehir- cry by disn1issing einployes and cut ting off private wires for in case of a they would be unable to transact bus mess. Most of the contracts with the telegraph companies for private wires contain a clause permitting the lessees to discontinuonce of the service on 30 daysf notice.
 The general situation has been made more acute by the poor business which wall street suffered for many months. More than one house in the street, ac- cording to general opinion. has not made expenses for the last year or more.
