Starts Forest From Seed.
J. W. Bird's venture in starting a
catalpa forest at Pond Creek, Ok.,
has proved very successful for the
first year. He bought raw land in
the sand hills just east of the town
for his project and broke it up last
winter and spring.
He planted about three hundred
thousand ' seeds, expecting to get
about one-fourth that number of
plants. He now has between eighty
and one hundred thousand vigorous,
healthy young trees of an average
height of about three feet. Next
spring he will transplant and if the
trees come through the winter well
expects to have about eighty acres in
trees,
As an {llustration of what remark
able growth the tree,k will make in
this soil and climate, Mr. Bird has 1n
his office & tree cut by W. H. Farmer,
- who lives one mile from the former's
catalpa farm. Last April Mr. Farmer
cut back a two-year-old seedling, and
slnce then the tree has made a
growth of ten feet and six inches.

Best of All Covers,
Though not a true grass, erimson
clover is the best of all winter cov
ers. This gives hay of far greater
value than any grass, and leaves some
hitrogen in the ground that it has
derived from the air. The legumes
both summer and winter are of far
more value to the South than grass.

Sulphur For Rats and Miccal
Here is a farmcr’s mode of ridding
his premises of rats and mice: . If
You sprinkle sulphur on your barn
floor and through your corn as you
gather it there will not be a r% or
mouse to bother. I have done this
for years and have never been Both
ered with rats or mice. I have some
old corn in my ecrib at present and
not a rat or mouse can be found.. In
stacking hay or oats sprinkle on the
ground and a little through each
load, and, my word for it, rats or mice
can't stay there. A pound of.sul
phur will be sufficient to preserve
a large barn of corn, and is good for
stock and will not hurt the corn or
bread.—Forest Republican.
Alfalfa Culture,
Alfalfa seems destined to be popu
lar all over the United States. The
Vermont station gives the results of
alfalfa growing in that State.
The average total yield per acre |
ranged from two and one-half to six
tons. The methods of culture sin
dorsed include thorough preparation
of the soil, early seeding with grain,
preferably with oats, the use of twen
ty pounds of seed per acre, a light
annual top-dressing with commercial
fertilizers, and the use of land free
from weeds, especially quack grass
and dodder. 1
On poor soil the crop had fair
succsss and all growers interested
pronounced it profitable, particularly
on certain kinds of soil. Gravelly or
slaty clay loams with good natural
under drainage and gently sloping to
provide surface drainage gave the
best results,—Weekly Witness.
The Poor Cows. !
In any herd of dairy cows, says a
tvriter in the National Stockman, you
will find some good and some poor
ones, with the latter predominating
as a rule. A cow that produces only
3000 pounds of milk is not more than
paying for her board. If that is the
average production per cow, éf&gfi
muysksbes a« vast mumber that a# ot
produce nearly so much, and are
therefore not paying for their keep.
This is the class that must be got
rid of in order to improve the stan
dard of our herds. The oniy way by
which we can determine which are
producing satisfactory returns, and
which are not, is by keeping a record
of the product. The milk of each
cow must be weighed, and if you are
manufacturing butter, the richness
of the milk has to be determined by
test. No farmer would consent to
board twe or three idle men at his
expense, and yet he will consent to
keep three or four cows that bring
him no profit whatever. Might just
as well have a tenant who is paying
you no rent—better, because you do
not have to board the tenant. Every
dairy farmer ghould have a standard
of production for his cows,
The Kicking Heifer,
In a short article in the Agricul
turist recently, the owner of a kick
ing heifer is advised to strap the
hind legs of the animal together. Now
I am going to give you a remedy for
kicking cows that I have never tried
myself, for the reason that I have
not had occasion to since learning
of the method.
Talking with cattle with a neigh
bor some time ago, the subject of
kicking cows came up, and he told
me that he had read some years ago,
that if a robe was put around the
cow’s body just in front of the udder
and tied fairly tight, that after two
or three attempts to kick, the cow |
would give up and stand perfectly
still. He stated that he had quite
frequently resorted to the method
and found it just as reprcsented and
that furthermore the cow would not
attempt to kieck when the rope was!
thrown over her back without being
tied, after a few attempts to kick
when it was tied, but would kick jfl
the rope was not there. !
In years past I have frequently |
tied cow’s legs to prevent them kick
ing over the milk pail, but never
liked to do so, as I have seen cows
become so restless that they would |
throw themselves in an effort to dis-!
entangle their legs. i
Try the rope around the body. It’
seems more humane, —A, Lamont,
Florida Agriculturist. i
Wealth in Larger Ears, l
Dr. C. 8. Hopkins, head of tha 'De-g
pariment of Agronomy, who is study- |
ing and experimenting on various‘
methods to make the corn bigger |
than it is, tells me some curious
things about corn. He declares that‘
by adding two rows of kernels to !
every eur husked on the farms of the |
United States we can increase the |
wealth of this country millions of
dollars. There is no other way in
which it can be increased so easily.
Each cob of corn carries an even num-
ber of rows always—from eight to
twenty-four-—and Dr. Hopkins has
seen an even larger number of rows
on an ear. Every additional row
represents many millions of dollars.
The number of kernels in the rows
on the ear is not regular, but they
can be increased by enltivation, and
that means miilions more of wealth
to the country. A gocod ear of corn
will carry a thousand kernels, suffi
cient to plant 300 hills, which means
about one-tenth of an acre, for there
are usually about 32000 hills to the
acre. Each hill ought to produce
two cars of corn from three kernels
of seed. Planted three feet apart,
with three stalks to the nill, the yield
will be twelve bushels for every
ounce of the average ear.
In that way a farmer can tell how
much corn he kas in his field. If
he takes an ear off the nearest stalk
at random and weighs it he can tell
approximately how many bushels he
can get from that field. Ixperienced
farmers in the corn belt of Illinois
calculate that they can harvest twelve
bushels to the acre for every ounce
of corn on an average ear. If the
ear weighs four ounces the field will
run forty-eight bushels to the acre;
if it weighs five ounces the field will
run sixty bushels to the acre; if it
weighs six ounces they wiil have a
“pumper” crop of seventy-two bush
els.
e s
Heaves Caused by Hay. :
A noted veterinarian of Canada
says that one full feed per day of hay
is enough for a horse; that because
the work horses are busy in crop
time they only get one full feed of
hay every twenty-four hours, but in
the winter are frequently allowed to
stand and eat hay all day. He says
that a horse to be in perfect health
should have-the stomach emptied of
)the previous meal for two or three
hours before he is given another. If
‘such is not the case, digestion will
not take place in a perfect manner,
and disease is likely to result. There
is a remarkable sympathy between
the stomach and the lungs, because
of the fact that the same nerve trunk
supplies nerve force to both organs.
When the stomach is deranged from
improper feeding the lungs are liable
to become sympathetically affected
and heaves often result. Care should
also be taken that a horse should be
fed no dusty or musty hay. This
dust is as light as air, and the horse
in bréathing draws it right into the
lung tissue with every breath, and
this substance being an irritant, is
very prone to develop the heaves. If
no better hay can be obtained, the
dust should be laid by sprinkling with
water, when the horse will not
breathe it, but will be swallowed with
his feed and probably do him no
harm; but when at all possible only
bright, clean hay, free from dust,
should be fed to horses. Again no
horse is in fit condition for active
exercise with a sftomach distended
with hay, because the stomach situ
ated as it is right behind the lung
space, if tull, bulges forward into
the chest to such an extent that the
lungs have not room to properly ex
pand, and ecannot perform their func
tions properly; and anything that in
terferes with the function of the
lungs predisposes to heaves. In many
cases if farmers woald feed one-third
less hay to idle horses in the winter
months they would come out in the
gpring in better condition.—lndiana
Farmer.

Farm Notes,
Do not check work teams high.
They want to put their heads down
and stretch their necks freely when
pulling.
Hay made of melilo‘tus (sweet clo
ver), pea-vines, alfalfa, or any of the
clovers will call for less grain when
fed to work stock.
Live stock and manure mean profit
for the farmer and fertility for the
soil; and nothing has ever been
found that will take their places.
Rather than to sell grain or hay
off the farm, feed it all at home and
buy more. Buying more is buying
fertility from other farms to enrich
your own,
Build fences now. Next season
will bob up the excuse that there is
not enough time for fence-building.
Avoid the excuse by having the
fences done.
Fences and fertility—they make
farming a pleasure. Fences enable
one to raise or buy most of his fer
tilizer in the form of stock feed. No
other fertilizer will equal it for all
round purposes.
Loud, abusive talk to stock ac
complishes about the same result
thiat such talk would to persons. It
maies ‘'maiters worse, not better.
Stock have . nerves and are in
luenced by the passion of their
keepers. A man who cannot control
his temper cannot expeet well to con
irol steck.
BDarn manure is worth more than
the plant food it contains. It con
verts plant food now in the soil in
forms the plants cannot use into
forms that the plants can use. It
does for the plant what the cook does
for the farmer when she converts in
digestible corn into a wholesome dish
cf grits.—Progressive Farmer.

f THE THIRD DEGREE.
- As It Is Administered in Our Neigh
l bor Republic,
| A Mexican detective who was re
cently in Washington degcribed the
“third degree,” as applied to sus
pected criminals in that country. In
the United States the suspect is put
through a sort of “sweating” process
in order to make him confess. In
Mexico the fellow who is believed to
be guilty of a crime is taken to the
scene of the commission of the act
and there the tragedy, if a murder
has besn committed, is re-enacted un
der the direction of the plain-clothes
men. Recently a woman was found
murdered in her bed, the weapon
employed to kill her being a knife.
The man suspected- of the crime was
taken to her room blindfolded. When
the cloth was removed from his eyes
another woman was lylng in the
bed in the same attitude in which
the murdered woman was found. The
lights were lowered as they had been
the night the crime was committed
and the suspect was put through the
performance of the murder just as
the police supposed it had been com
mitted in reality. Suddenly the chief
detective, addressing the man under
suspicion, demanded:
“What kind of a knife did you use
on her?”
The prisoner, trembling at being
confronted by the pancrama of his
crime, unthinkingly replied:
SA, horn-handled, hide-scraping
knife.”
The Mexican detective described
other eases where the “third degree”
had been successfully applied in cuses
of murder, assault azd robbery. He
said the American system was a good
cone, but he regarded the Mexican idea
as the better of the two.—Washing.

Force of Seas.
The cceans occupy three-fourths of |
the gurface of the earth. A mile down |
in the sea the water has a pressure |
of a ton to every square inch. If a |
box six feet deep-was filled with sea |
water, which was then allowed to
evaporate, there would be two inches |
of salt left in the bottom of the box. |
Taking the average depth of the |
oeean to be thre: miles, there would |
be a layer of salt 440 feet siick cov- i
ering the bottom, in case all the wat- |
‘er should evaporate. In many places, |
especiMly in the far North] the water ?
freezes from the bottom upward. |
Waves are deceptive things. To look |
at them one would gather the impres- |
sion that the whole water traveled. !
This, however, is not so. Tho water |
stays in the same place, but the mo- |
tion goes on. In great storms waves |
are sometimes forty feet high, and |
their ctests travel fifty miles an hour. |
The base of a wave (the distance |
from valley to valley) is usually con- |
sidered as being fifteen times the |
height of the wave. Therefore a wave |
twenty-five feet high would have a |
base extending 375 feet. The force |
of waves breaking on the shore isf

BRAIN POWER : |
Increased by Proper Feeding. |
A lady writer who not only has
done good literary work, but reared
a family, found in Grape-Nuts the
idgal food for brain work and to de
velop healthy children. She writes:—
“I am an enthusiastic proclaimer
of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I,
formerly had no appetite in the morn
ing and for 8 years while nursing
my four children, had insufficient
nourishment for them.
‘“Uuable to eat breakfast I felt |
faint later, and would go to the pan
try and eat cold chops, sausage,
cookies, doughnuts or anything I hap
pened to find. Being a writer, at
times my head felt heavy apd my
brain asleep.
“When I read of Grape-Nuts I
began eating it every morning, also |
gave it to the children, including my
10 months’ old baby, who soon grew
as fat as a little pig, good natured
and contented. e ]
“Within a week I had plenty of
breast milk, and felt stronger within
two weeks. I wrcte evenings and |
feeling the need of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer
of Grape-Nuts with milk instead of |
ny usual indigestible hot pudding, |
pie, or cake for dessert at night. ‘
“Grape-Nuts did wonders for me !
and I learned to like it. I did not |
mind my housework or mother's |
cares, for I felt strong and full of !
‘go.” 1 grew plump, nerves strong, |
and when I wrote my brain was |

What Varicus States Are Doing.
The aueszticn of State aid for the
building of good highways which is
being agitated. in Xentucky, and is
so popular amorg the people, is no
new thing., Many of the States have
already adopted it and where it has
once been put into execution it has
worked so admirable that the appro
priations have been increased from
yvear to year and in no single in
stance has been abandoned, says the
Elizabethtown News. The News has
taken the trouble not only to find out
. and investigate the laws on this sub
ject, but has collected much infor
mation as to what the various States
are doing. The following informa
tion is quite important for those who
' are interested in the subject of good
- roads:
New York contributes fifty per
cent. of the cost of roads. Last year
the appropristion exceeded $5,000,-
000 in addition.
California contributes the entire
cost of Dbuilding State highways.
' Colorado does the same thing.
Massachusetts pays the entire cost
but the counties are required to re
fund one-half with interest at six
per cent. within six years after the
- road is completed.
Ohio, twenty-five per cent. by the
State, and seventy-five per cent. by
the counties, fifteen per cent. on the
township and ten per cent. on the
owners of abutting property.
Pennsylvania seventy-five per cent.
by the State, one-eighth by the coun
ties and one-eighth by the township.
Rhode Island pays the entire cost
provided the road is not wider than
fourteen fest.
Washingten, one hundred per cent.
on State rcads, fifly per cent. on State
aid roads. i
New Jersey coatributes one-third
of the cost.
In Virginia no money 'is appro
priated, but State convicts are fur
nished to the counties for road
work.
In Connecticut the State pavs two
thirds of the cost in towns having
a taxable value of over $1,000,000
and three-fourths of the cost where
towns have less than $1,000,000 valu
ation.
In Illinois the State highways
commission furnishes crushed rock
and machinery, tools, drain tiles and
culvert pipes. :
In Towa road material is furnished
free of charge to the counties except
for transportation.
Maine contributes from $250 to
SIOOO per mile according to certain
sta&%r‘ds. i b
‘Tiftre are & number of other
States granting State aid to this
splendid purpose, but the above will
show the trend of the most progress
sive.
Yiorse Sympathy.
The horse is rightfully an object
of great symnathy smong a large por
tion of the people who use him to
perform different kinds of labor, but
not a few are often unavoidably sub
jected to actual cruelty by their
owners because of the un-beastly
roads over which they must travel.
But, unfortunately, wvith an automo
bile there is no occasion for com
passion. It can be sent regardless
over the worst kind of roads without
compunction, for a ‘“‘thing of steel’”
knows no pain and can endure treat
ment without injury, which would
ruin the animal made of flesh and
blood, like ourselves!
Farmers are great spenders of
money for every kind of “labor-sav
ing” devices, but “good roads” is a
better saver than any machine you
ever bought. The greater loads
that can be hauled, and the saving in’
wear and tear of horses, wagons and'
harness, the time saved and the ad
ditional comforts obtained are ad
vantages enough to make everybody,
a ‘‘good road” enthusiast, and when!
once interested in the new order of,
things, you will think of and talk of
little else until you have spread the
gospel of good roads from one end|
of the country to the other. The
whole matter rests with the users,of
the roads. They get what they de
mand, and no more. If you protest
against letting the old pikes run
down, the authorities will certainly,
inaugurate a better system of main
tenance. Certain men should do
nothing but look out for and repair
the old roads. Of course, it will take
some time to put them all in good
shape, but finally when they are got
ten in order and are watched care
fully, the cost in the long run will
be far less than by the present sys
tem—or lack of system-—and a thous
sand times more satisfactory to every=
body. i
‘Hard Times Inecrcase Advertising.
An advertising solicitor in a South
ern city was asked by a reporter for
a local newspaper if he was not en
thusiastic over the prospect for “good
times’ and a lively business season.
“No,” said he; “I can’t say that,
so far as my business is concerned, I
have any reason to congratulate my
self because the outlook now is for
exceptionally good times. The truth
of the matter is I have found after an
experience of twenty years that the
harder times are the easier it is for
me to gecure advertising. There are
scores of business men in my towa
who never think of inviting patrone
age until their business begins to
drop below normal.” 3
