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. i e WAYSIDE NOTES.

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. s s 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. KNEW HIS BUSINESS.

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. ton Star. | 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 seventeen tons to the square inch, —Washington Herald. 1 - RAISED THEM.

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.

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
