SIREN LURE FOR MEN
Hardship and Death Dared by Thou
sands That They May Gain
Riches Quickly.

II was in 1898 that the rush Of gold
seekers to the Klondike reached its
food. The ninety-eighters probably
never will know the fame of the forty
miners. but they have a place in the
long history OF the gold hunters. the
men of all nations, ancient, medieval
and modern. The book has a hundred
chapters telling of failure and of death
to every n lightened with the story
of success.
H. NJ. Cadell recently visited the
Klondike and there made a study Of
present conditions. He describes them
and adds an interesting account of the
early day rush to the Northwest terri
tory. The Smithsonian institution has
put Mr.. Cadets report into print. 1t
is an interesting document. Some Of
the happenings in the Klondike ere
duplicates Of like happenings in Cali
fornia and Australia during the first
years of the surface washing in those
fields. These Implications show that
human nature is unchanging.
Men went to the Klondike daring
hardship and death that they might
get rich quick. Some of the gold
seekers were quickly successful. A
large percentage of the successful
ones almost literally threw their mon
ey away. Easy come, easy go. This
sort of thing has marked gold min.
ing In all ages. The Klondike Is not
what it was, but human nature stays
the same. The discovery Of gold at
the North pole would start a north
ern migration that would take no &C.
count of the insuperable obstacles Of
distance and cold. The lure is ire
sistible.-Chicago Post.

INJURY BY CORNSTALK B0RER
One Of Reasons Why Corn StubbIe
Should Not Be Permitted to Stand
in Field Undisturbed.

(By A. r. CONRADI. Clemson Agricul-
tural College.)
The cornstalk borer Is one Of the
reasons why corn stubble should not
be allowed to stand in the field all
winter undisturbed. This insect Is one
Of the most notorious corn pests Of
the South. Without cutting the stalks
the evidence of its work may be see
in every cornfield at the time Of her
yesting by the holes that may occur
on any portion Of the stalk. These
holes vary largely In number.
The point to be remembered in the
life history stages and habits Of this
insect is its habit of remaining as a
larva in the base of corn stubble be-
low the ground during winter. Here.
therefore, is a chance for those farm
ers who are friends Of this species to
do it a great favor by allowing the
corn stubble to stand undisturbed in
their fields during fall and winter. De-
stroying corn stubble Is not very easy.
cACcpl vi nlOuCin loilAo UhOiO thOAO
is sufficient horse power and the stub
bles can be turned under thoroughly.
Turning under corn stubble is Of
great help in reducing the cornstalk
borer for the next season. Where thor
pugh turning cannot be %practiced. there
are other methods. such as busting"
out the stubble and hauling It to the
compost heap for rotting. After the
corn is gathered the stalks, stubble and
everything else may be bursted out.
raked in heaps and after o few weeks
for drying, burned.
In experimental work . very large
percentage Of larvae was destroyed
during winter where the stubble was
Flowed out and left exposed to the
weather. It can readily be seen that
when these methods are %practiced by
farmers only here and there 1t does
not help the situation very much. The
control of the cornstalk borer depends
on the cooperative action Of the farm.

WILL AER0PLANES STOP WAR
orvilIe Wright 10 Moved to Say He
Likes TO Think So,
Anyhow.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is a very definite eason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other? The reason, as ! figure It out,
is aeroplanes, Orville Wright writes
in Golfers. In consequence Of the
scouting work done by the flying ma.
chimes, each side knows exactly what
the opposition forces are doing.
There is little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at un-
expected places. The ~aeroplane has
made that impossible. 1t has equal.
lied information. Each side has such
complete knowledge OF the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means OF slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick, spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
plSpChb wal ploA tCN tuc al my cAptIlb
expected It to be a matter OF a few
weeks or. at most, a few months. To-
day 1t looks as II 1t might run into
years before one side can dictate
terms. Now, a nation that may be
willing to undertake a war lasting q
few months may well hesitate about
engaging In one that will occupy years.
The daily cost OF a great war Is of
course ~stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the total Is likely to
be SO great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work in flying machines will
be the predominating factor, as 1t
seems to me. in bringing this about.
| like to think so, anyhow.

TIC make butter profitable on the
farm we must first have good cows.
Constitutional vigor in a dairy cow Is
something we cannot pour into an an.
imal with a bottle; it has to be bred
and fed into her.
First, breed from nothing but strict
ly healthy animals. After we have
healthy cows we should know their
capacity. The value of the dairy COW
depends upon her capacity to produce
butter and milk at a profit. So the
first thing we ought to do is to use the
scales and the Babcock test and find
out whether old Brindle is paying or
not. 1t is not enough to know that a
COW gives a pailful of milk when she
is fresh; we must know what she
produces in a year. If we were dairy
ing for fun 1t might be all right not
to know these things. but for business

SILAGE FOR YEARLING MULES
In Experiment at Missouri Station nc
III Results Were Noticed-Test

Ten yearling mules, weighing ap
proximately $50 pounds each, were fed

for 80 days on an average daily ration
OF 6.5 pounds Of ear corn, Sc pounds
of mixed hay. and 4 pounds Of corn
silage. The mules made a gain Of only
4.S pounds, during the period. No Ill
results were seen from the use Of the
silage but the males did not consume
large quantities of 1t. This 1t Is
thought may have been due to the
fact that the silage was made from
rather immature corn.
Successful experiments In feeding ST.
lage to horses and mules, conducted
by the North Carolina and Pennsyl.
vania stations have been reported to
the department of agriculture. 1t is
advised that corr silage should always
be fed in combination with other feeds
and that under no circumstances
should spoiled silage, either moldy OF
rotten, be fed to horses and mules.
