SHORT LIFE OF FARM TOOLS
E@rraes Must Stand Pretty High Acre chaFge cn Most of Ills Labor
 Saving Devicea.

The life of farm tools Is short at the best and if a tool Is given shelter its life depends upon the number of acres it has covered. If the tool Is left out all winter its life is not de pendent upon the number of acres 1t covers but upon how long 1t can re- sist the clements. It may be interest ing to know the average life of some common tools. A manure spreader Is useful, on the average, eight years 1; the sulky blow is good for twelve years of hard work, while the average life of moving machines, side deliv- cry rakes and gas engines is twelve years, If a person will take the first cost and then add on to it the interest on the investment and annual depre- citation, taxes, etc, then divide this sum by the number of acres he has used 1t over, in most cases he will find that he has a pretty high acre charge on most of the tools he keeps. Grain binders will show an acre charge of about sixty cents; grain drills twentysix cents; corn planters twenty-two cents; hay loaders seventy five cents and disk harrows forty-five cents.

Rode Horseback 5000 Niles

Q. The record for the longest individual ride of which an authentic account has been given is held by Lieut.. Penohkof of the Russian cavalry. In 1882 he rode from his station in distant Si- beria, 6 place with an unpronounce- able name, to St. Petersburg, a dis tance of over 5000 miles, in 193 days. This was more of an endurance than a speed test Riding an ordinary pony of Siberian breed, carrying no baggage or provisions, he averaged thirty-seven miles day and often made more than fifty-six miles day. He rested at night. He used the same horse throughout the trip. Starting, every morning at z, he generally, made but one stop for rest during the day, sim ply loosening the girdle of his saddle while resting, but retired every night at g. AS he approached St. Petersburg after his long ride a life guard regi- ment with two bands met him and es- corted him into the city, where he was received by the czar and knighted for his achievement

NAME FEW WOULD RECOGNIZE
But It Was Miguel saavedra Who Gave the Immortal "Don Quixote"
 to the World.

That Miguel Saavedra wrote the im- mortal Don Quixote" Is not known by many. Ask the man on the street and he will tell you Cervantes was the author. This is for the reason that his full name, Miguel de Ger vantes Saavedra, Is not popularly known.
 He was born on October g, 1547, and the age which gave Shakespeare to England gave Cervantes to Spain. In 1890 he made an intellectual appli- cation to the king for an appointment in America, "a shelter for the poor and a refuge for the unfortunate" From Seville he moved to Valladolid. and tradition runs that he was impris- oned there as debtor or defaulter, and that while in prison he commenced writing Don Quixote," the second part of which did not appear until 1915. Three weeks before his. death he formally entered the Franciscan or der and was buried in the convent of the nuns of Trinity, Madrid.
 There are two events ip the history of Cervantes that are most remark able: The first that, nominally though not aStually, he died on the same day as Shakespsar April 2S..S 1616fhe difference in 'conputing ahe calendar cadRhg sfhe apparent stnflafitys skaIs. ',
 The Second point df ilnboftahSs coupled with wonder is that no monu- ment was raised to his memory till 18S5. when a statue of hersic pro portions was cast in Rome and set up in Madrfd.-Chfcago Journal.

MOST EXCELLENT FOR FORAGE
Most Serious Disadvantage, as Pasture or SollIng Crop Is Danger of Prus- sic Acid PoisonIng-cuItl-
 Vated Rows Best

The growing of sorghum for forage in this country has increased until the 1918 crop amounted to more than 6,OO0,OOO acres, according to Farmers Bulletin 115s, just Issued by the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture. Most of this acreage was located in the southeastern states and in the southern half of the great plains.
 Useful Hay Crop.
 Sorghum is most useful as a hay crop in the southern states because of Its certainty Of producing a crop and on account of the failure of ordinary hay crops, such as timothy and alfalfa. in that section. Both the sweet sor- ghums and the grain sorghums are ex- ceilen4 siiage crops. The department advises that stockmen In the great plains area can avoid the loss of thou sands of cattle by feeding sorghum silage which has been stored at small expense In pit silos. go ---'-
 The principal varieties Of the sweet sorghum, considered, from a forage standpoint, are the Minnesota Amber. Red Amber, Orange, sumac, Honey and Gooseneck. The grain ~sorshums most valuable for forage are the Black hull, Red, Pink and Dwarf kafirs.

'In this final note we deem 1t
our duty to reaffirm that our po-
sition is and can only be as we
have defined 1t throughout this
correspondence. Our nation has
formally declared its independence
and recognizes itself as a sovereign
state. 1t is only as representatives
Of that state and as Its chosen
guardians that we have authority

pose we have at heart--that IL the
final reconciliation Of our nation

I'VE have suggested no interpre-
tation of that principle save in
every day interpretations, the
sense, for example, in which It was
interpreted by the plain men and
women of the world when on jan
uary s, 1918, you said:
1.-THE settlement Of Europe
must be based on such grounds of
reason and justice as will give
some promise of stability. There
fore it is that we feel that gov
eminent with the consent Of the
governed must be the basis of any
territorial settlement in this war;

swer to the criticism of our posi-
ton which your last letter puts
forward. The principle was un-
derstood then to mean the right
of nations that had been annexed
to empires against their will to
free themselves from the graphing
hook. That is the sense in which
we understood it. In reality. 1t is
your government, when it seeks to
render our ancient nation and to
partition Its territory. that would
give to the principle an interpre-
tation that would undermine the
fabric Of every democratic state
