King Haakon is certainly an able
politician. The management of the
church is bothering the church people
of Norway all the time. One faction
became 80 disguised with the way
in which the university was handling
theology that they set up a theologi-
cal seminary of their own. In order
to make 1t plain that 1t was to be run
in the interests of tho people 1t was
called the Faculty OF the Congrega-
tions." One of it's professors resigned
a short time ago because the govern
ment permitted women to preach on
certain conditions. Now another Of
its professors, Hognestad. has been
appointed by the king as bishop of Ber-
gen, though he was not 30 strongly
supported by the clergy as some other
BY this step the govern
ment made two good points: It
proved that It appreciates the work
done by the Faculty Of the Congre-
cations" and that very faculty has
been weakened by the loss of a strong
man. But the government accom-
plished still more. 1t pleased the
people and the language
reformers. for Hognestad is a. total
abstainer and an advocate of the pure
language. Rev. Stoylen,
who was appointed bishop Of Chris
tianssand a short time ago, is also q
temperance man and a language re-
former. The dioceses of these two
men are the hotbeds of the language
reform.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOwSFIELD


Waste and neglect in the average APP
pie orchard are plain evidence of bad
farming. An orchard of single acre
il properly managed will give Il reye-
nue. of $500 or $500 yearly, and besides
this ii is important TO the owners fam
lily. Fruit trees should receive intel
ligent care.
Orchards are not sprayed and pruned
III a systematic way, because this kind
of work can be put off and there is
always something else demanding at
tention. Good farming gives every
feature on the place due attention.
whether the product Is for market OF
merely for home use. If this he done
the fruit in small orchards will be
sounder and more Uniform than it
usually is. the family will get increas-
ed benefit from it and revenue will be
gained at the rate Of at least 5000 an
acre.
When orchards are neglected the
fruit deteriorates in quality, and much
of it is allowed to rot OH the ground.
Even the farmers family gets only Il
meagcr supply. An apple orchard
ought to be an object Of pride. and If
the owner feels that he is too busy to
attend to it he should turn it over to

The Ri,sdurn Sidus.

An amusing story told by Hood de-
scribes liow country nurseryman
made large sum out Of sales of a
simple Little flower which he sold I'M
der the name of the Rbodum sidlis.
This charming name proved quite an
attraction to the ladies, and the flower
became the rage of the season. 1t was
one of those freaks of fashion for
which there is no accounting. At
length a botanist who found that the
plant was not an uncommon weed re.
quested 10 know where the nursery
man got the name from. He elected
the following reply: Il found this flow
er in the road beside us, so chrstened
it the Rhodnm sidus."

BILE evaporation, a period of eighteen
months without drop of rain FILLING
in the entire watershed still TO leave
the town with an adequate supply for
all domestic and fire fighting purposes.
The water Is pumped from the creek
and is then forced through q modern
filtration plant that guarantees pure
wafer at AL times.
The electric light and power plant Is
large enough TO supply every house
with all the light needed and all the
power necessary for the mills and 9th.
er industries. and it is one of the most
complete street lighting systems in
Kansas Besides this. the plant sells
electric current TO light TWO nearby
towns and furnishes power for indus
tries and Is making contracts TO sup
ply two other towns. Instead of the
old fashioned incandcscent or are lights
for the streets. the city has Lad built
in the center of each street intersection
heavy iron poles, on which there are
five lights. something like the boule-
ward and White Way lights used in the
larger cities. Each light supplies four
blocks OF streets, so that there is hard
~ Il dark spot in the town at night.
Lyndon is thoroughly modern town
in every other way. 1t has as fine Il
twelve acre park as could be found
anywhere, and the town pays for band
concerts during the summer months.
Andrew Carnegie recently gave $1,000
for library building. The city fur
ilisIled the site and put up the building,
and there are now about 5000 books
in the library, and more are being add
ed each year
The little town has wen paved
streets and miles Of modern concrete
sidewalks. Every home is shaded by
numerous trees. and the city sees that
the trees and parkings are kept III good
condition. Tie high school and grade
school buildings are new and modern
1t is the ordinary practice in most
towns that when bonds are voted for
public Improvements the payment OF
the debt is left for future generations.
But Lyndon decided to pay off its debt,
SO each year a levy is made so that
$1,000 of the debt is actually retired.
The clubwomen of the town and the
city officials see TO it that the alleys
are kept clean and all trash removed,
and everybody swats the fly. Since
Lyndon put on its new clothes there
has not been a case of typhoid fever
on the town site
On the top of the Lyndon water tow
ef there is 4 / 800 candle power beacon
light that can be seen for thirty miles.
So Lyndon lets its light shine out be,

Kansas lays claim TO the ownership
of the only 100 per cent perfect sani-
tary town in the United States. 1t Is
Lyndon, the county seat of Usage
county, 4 town of only sos persons.
But it has the most complete and per-
feet water supply and sewage system
of any town, large or small, in the en-
tire country, according to 5. J. Crum-
bine, secretary of the Kansas board of
health, and government public health
officials.
Three or four years ago the town
had a scourge of typhoid fever. There
were many deaths and many more
cases of the disease, all of which were
traced to contaminated water sup
ply. There were no sewers and no
water system. l.. Il. Hussey was then
mayor. The city officials went to
work and cleaned out the vaults and
purified the water in the wells as much
as possible and persuaded the people
OF the town to boil the water and swat
the fly until the disease was checked,
and finally there We're no more cases.
Then the city council and the mayor
each took petition and went out on
the streets and obtained the signatures
Of enough taxpayers to enable them To
call an election, at which $4,000 in
bonds was voted for a municipal wa
ter and light plant and complete
sewer system. After the election was
called the city officials went into the
homes and made their fight to carry
the bonds. They had hard opposition
from many good citizens, but the bonds
were carried by small margin.
The water, light and sewer systems
were recently completed. There Is only
one house on the entire town site
which cannot be connected with the
present sewer system. 1t happens that
this house is unoccupied and has been
for many months and is likely to con-
tfnue vacant because no one in the
town will live in u house that does not
have all the modern conveniences.
In planning the water system the
mayor and the council purchased the
riparian rights along the creek for sew
eral miles up the stream. Then they
built dam which stores up enough
water, counting the = greatest nossi-

The cause of poor matches of poul-
try Is much discussed question.
poor hatch is more apt to be due TO
the condition OF the eggs previous to
hatching than to incubation, although
improper handling of either factor
will produce the same results. When
eggs fail to hatch an investigation
should be made to see If the breeding
stock is kept. under conditions which
tend to produce strong, fertile germs
in the eggs. A daily temperature rec
ord should be kept of each machine.
The operator can thus compare the
temperature at which the machines
have been kept. This may prove valu-
able in future work, especially if the
brooder records can be checked back
against those of the incubator
