THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE ERA U BARB, Pultlthtr TERMS, SUS IN ADVANCB NORTH PLATTE NEBRASKA HEALTH AND LONG LIFE. ' "All men think nil toon mortal but themselves." vet all men nro con stantly seeking tho sources of health find means of prolonging their lives, and nothing Interests tho averago man moro than to read tho Btatomonts of persons who havo attnlnod great ttgos, nnd their version of tho means which enabled them to prolong their lives. Wo havo many of thoso. toltko, when naked In hlB ninetieth year how ho had maintained his health and activity, answorcd: "By Brent moderation In nil things, nnd by regular outdoor cxcrclso." Crlspl said that "regularity and abstinence nro tho secret of long Hfo." Sydney Cooper nlso bollovcd In regularity. Lo gouvo attributed his long Hfo to rcgti lar cxcrclso, says tho Washington Herald. An Amorlcan nonagenarian, Hon. Ncal Dow, of Malno, laid stress on tho careful avoldnnco of fretting or disturbance of tho dlgestlvo or gans, nnd of cxposuro to sudden or protracted cold, with inaufllclout pro-, tcctlon ngalnst its influcnco. Cor naro's rulo was oxtromo tcmporanco In eating nnd moderation In drinking, Ho took everything that agreed with him nnd avoided everything which did not. Many others could bo namod. but tho constitutions nnd organism of men are as varied as their fnces,' hence no general rulo can bq laid, down. What Is meat to ono may bo poison to another. Hundreds of thousands of IUiBsIans aro going to Slborla. But not after th,o old stylo, when they wero por-i' sonally conducted by military guards; nnd distributed ns convicts among tho mln.es and prisons. Slborla has vast agricultural nnd othor possibilities! nnd tho government In this Instance! nt least Is wlso enough to encourngej tho utilization of such rosourcos. le Is announced from Russia" that tho mli gration to Siberia nvorngo about half, a million persons yearly. This move-, ment Is oncouragod by tho offer from; tho government of cheap railroad; Tates and an allotment of forty-one nnd a half acres of land to each adult who makes a homo In that part of thq empire. ' The Pennsylvania state board of health reports that tho expenditure oi $3,000,000 In four years In tho Interest of tho public health has resulted in saving $23,000,000 to tho commont wealth. This Is conservation of a most desirable quality. It goos to-' ward maintaining thoso greatest re sources of a. state which llo in n poo pie rich In physical and menial well bolng. v Tho Pennsylvania board has fought diphtheria effectively with an tltoxln, ft has reduced tho dcalh rate from consumption,' "tho white plague," from 184 to 120 por thous and, and Is nbout to do bettor by adding two now tuberculosis colonics to the ono now Irt operation. According to late reports Mammoth Cavo, that old-timo geological wondor, and years ago n closo rival to Nia gara Falls as n show place, ia going out of fashion, nnd has of Into years had but few visitor, says tho Boston Evening Transcript It Is now dim cult of ncsess by n Jlttlo dinky rail road and the accommodations afford ed, by the dilapidated hotel aro by "no means up to dnto. It is proposed to ask congress to adopt it as a national reservation, fix: things up aijd make It moro accessible and atlractlvb. Per haps one reason for Us doendenco Is the discovery of othor great caverns nnd natural curiosities fully nB won derful. A Washington man has boon' fined for violating tho child-labor law bo causo ho Induced n, number of four-teen-year-old boys to ongngo In a pip eating contest. Would it not havo been moro appropriato if ho had been punlshod for cruolty to children T When a man's wllo sticks hatpins 4nto him, and trjos to suffocato him ns he sloops, tho Now York courts have docldcd that ho ban a right to leave homo. Tho ruling, however, was confirmatory merely, tho man having decided first ; Ono man has boon sent to Jail for nlno months for smuggling nt Now ,York. Tho fact that ho was only n Musician and not a mllltonntro makoB tho lesson loss impressive, whero It Is most needed. 1 A dog that carried In smuggled goods across tho Mexican boundary has been spared to bo shown In a dog show, , If he had boon takon to a New York dog show ho would prob ably havo brought a fabulous prico from tho ultra rich. So tho government 1b going to issuo $75,000,000 worth of 1 bills to roplaco $90wand higher denominations. This ought to incroaso tbp chauco of got tlBg some. CROPS FOR IRRIGATION Seldom Possible to Prediot Which Will Bo Most Profitabe. Too Few Irrigated Regions Where Use of Crop Rotation Is Made to Keep Up Fertility of Soil Organic Matter Needed. In the development of n new agri cultural region It is seldom posslbto to predict what crops will prove the most profitable. In almost any region tho farmor Is forced to choose from a largo number of posnlblo cropu the ones best suited to his needs nnd mar kets. In any now region there Is a tondency to spcclallzo on ono or nt most a very few crops, and in the Ir rigated regions, particularly, this ton dency toward a slnglo crop Is very pro nounced. The line of crop rotations and the Intelligent diversification of crops on the farm aro never conspic uous features of a newly opened agri cultural region. Oraln nnd nlfnlfn aro tho pioneer Irrlgatod crops, nnd these nro usually followed by attempt to grow vcgctnbles or orchard fruits ex tensively. Sometimes, Indeed, new land Is put Into vegetables, orchard fruits or sugar boots In nn attempt to grow vegetables or orchards. Thero aro altogether too few Irrigated re glons In this country nt tho present tlnio where any attempt Is mndo to ward tho uso of crop rotations with a view to kcoplng up the productive ca pacity of tho soil. Thero appears to btf a widespread Impression that tho fortuity of irrigated lands Is Inex haustible; that land may be used for i slnglo crop or for n series of in tertilled crops for nn indefinite pe riod. Tho experience of generations of farmers in humid roglonn is disre garded. Now land la often planted to orchard fruits, to bo continuously In tortlllcd from tho, first nnd with tho expectation of continuing' this clenn culturo nnd fruit production Indefi nitely. In fact, whole regions nro sometimes opened to colonists, with tho expectation that each farm will immediately become and will remain exclusively devoted to sonio typo of orchard fruits, with Its consequent clean cultivation nnd without any moans of maintaining tho absolutely cssontlnl supply of orgnnlo matter. One of tho most serious problems on American Irrigated lands Ik that of organic-matter nupply. As long as thero lands remain . relatively cheap nnd tho farm unlto nro not-too small, n rotntlon of crops, Including alfalfa, can bo used. But nlfnlfn Is far from bolnf; an Ideal rotation crop for many regions, nnd tho tomptntlon is strong, onco a good stand' Is secured, to lot it remain as n permanent crop outsldo tho rotation, For orchards and vine yards wo lack n suitable assortment of annual leguminous crops to uso for green manure These problems ,of- crop rotntlon nnd of tho supply of ergnnlc matter aro usually probloms of tho older Irrigated regions, though In somo Instances tho desert lands .aro naturally so poorly supplied with organic matter that this question quickly becamos ncute. In somo of the older nnd moro high ly dovoloped Irrigated fruit regions farmers are now confronted with this problem of plant nutrition. This Is particularly true in thoso' sections whero a scanty water supply requires continuous clean ttllngo for moisture conservation purposes. This clean tlllago has not only prevented tho ad dition of any new supply of organic matter, hut has mndo conditions In tho highest degrno fnvorablo for tho coirtplcto disintegration nnd conver sion of tho supply originally contnltied In tho Boll. The Importnnco of or ganic mnttcr tnn scnrcoly bo ovor otslmnted. Us depletion must bo avoided It crop production la to bo maintained. It therefore becomes n problem of tho first Importnnco to so plnn tho crop rotntlon on tho farm nnd to so nrrnngo tho orchard plnnt lngs ns to provide for tho use nt fro quont Intorvnls of such crops nB will increnso tho supply of organic mnttcr lu tho soil. Irrigate Peach Orchard. The amount of cultivation and Ir rigation thut lflUHt bo given to n poach orchard depends largely on tho nnturo of tho soil. Somo soils require much moro work thnn others, Thero should bo enough cultivation to keep tho ground looso and sufficient Irriga tion to keop It moist at all times dur ing tho growing sooboii. If tho ground lies so ns to mako It possible, wo would strongly advUo Irrigating both wnyB, running the water, say north and eouth first, thou east and west nnd thus reach all parts of tho ground .quickly but this Is seldom dono bo causo of tho extra work required In furrowing out. lu n dry Hoason llko this ono is mighty lucky to havo the, irrigation applied In any old wny with out being very pnrtlculur. It Is moro n question of water than of method. A Fruit Farm Report. Tho Indiana Farmer says: "The stato fruit farm near Mitchell, Law rence county, provos a prontnblo property this season. It escaped tho cold wnvo that sprend over, our con trol counties In May, killing nil the bloom, and sot and tioro n heavy crop. Tho trceu nro well tnkon care of pruned nnd fertilized nnd wero thor oughly Bprnyod. The season bolng fnvorablo n line crop of first-class fruit was gathered. Tho principal varieties wore Grimes, Jonathan, Wlno Snp and Bon Davis. About $6,000 worth or ap ples wero sent to market; or thoHo $3,200 worth wero gathered from 102 trees of Grimes, nn nvorago of 31.3 bushels per treo. Ninety per cent, of tho nppleB wero perfect. The orchard Id 23 years old." TREE MUST HAVE IRRIGATION Few Orchards In Oeml-Arld Regions Profitable Without pood Water Supply. A couplo of correspondents or Yol lowstono couhtry, refer to two or throo isolated Instances whero npplo trees and plum trees nnd fruit shrubs nr'e nctunlly living without Irrigation. This mny seem truly wonderful to these men who think they havo nctunlly found n mare's nest. Why, wo know or ninny orchnrds thnt nro living nftcr a fnshlon, but wo havo as yet to learn or a slnglo instnnco or such nn or chard that Is a success. Wo hnvo all tho tlmo advocated tho planting of fruit trees and shrubs for homo uso on the dry farm, U tho farmer has n well from which ho can draw water to keop theso trees alive during th6 dry season. Thero is a great deal of differ enco between keeping a treo nlivo nnd mnklng It prontnblo for bearing fruit. Tho report of tho experts who recently visited tho Flathead orchards say tho crop is greatly reduced and Inferior whero tno water was obtainable for Ir rigation. Tho cast sldo orchards nbove the ditch aro half dead nnd tho crop Is scnrcoly worthy of tho namo. Thero nro n good mnuy dry land orchards that aro partially Irrigated, but they nro not n success. This Is no now mat ter with us. Wo havo discussed tho dry land orchard for fifteen or twenty yearn. C. F. Daltman of tho Missoula nursery, tried a dry land nursery for many years, but was forced to move to a location below tho ditch, and slnco that dato tho Missoula nursery has grown to bo n great and successful In stitution. Tho dry land experiment was a fnlluro ovon on tho wost sldo or 'ho mountains. At tho Dry FnVmlng ongress nt Billings Inst year Dallman old us thut whilo ho was attending 'armors' meetings and holding contro versies with tho wrltor nbout tho won derrul success or troos grown on dry land, ho had six hired mon nt homo hnuling water trying to keop hla troes nllvo and yet In splto or Mb efforts, they died by tho hundrod3. Ono swnl low doos not mako n summer, and n fow Isolated Instances do not refuto tho tostlmony of n third of a century. Wo wish our friends buccosb, but In tho end they will probnbly boar testi mony with over ono hundred wo could mention who say it is lovo's labor lost to engngo In orcharding without water. A Cash-Business. Tho dalrymnn has somothlng to sell for cash every day in tho year. His dally cash receipts may not soom very largo to mon who havo been used to grain farming or stock farming, but at tho end of tho year his bank ac count will mako a very good showing along with that of hla neighbor who fnrms on a broader scale. Ready money 1b greatly to bo desired at all times and tho dairyman Is more for tunato in that rospoct than any othor rarmor. Another thing In his ravor is that bo is not subject to the market fluctuations. Tho market for his prod uct can bo fixed by himself ir ho pro duces tho right kind of milk and but tor. They nro not nffected by pnnlcs in tho whent mnrket or gluts in tho llvo stock mnrket. Ho Is nlways nblo to toll nlmost to tho dollar what his Incomo will bo nnd is thus ennbled to Iny his plnns nnd govern his oxponses accordingly. Use of Grapes.

Buy your stock from somo ono who hnB brod tho samo vnrloty for Bcvoral years, Ho will understand tho breed. It Is often cheaper to adopt tho breed to suit the conditions than to chango tho conditions to suit the breed. Keop puro bred stock, It costs no moro to feed and care for U, nnd there Is n satisfaction that Is impossible with mongrel stock. U is onslor and cheaper to produco uniform white eggs than brown eggs of the same shado of brown. Crowding, lnoxporlonco nnd working with too littlo capital are tho great causes of fulluro In tho poultry bust, noss. If your hens aro shut up nro thoy getting plenty of green food? It Is nocossary ir you want good' results. Whenever you plan to build, whether It bo house, barn or chicken coop, take noto or what sort ot drainage you enn get .In tho location you choose. Cook somo boons or peas, mix thorn with wheat bran nnd food twlcoa weok and sou if you don't got a lot moro eggs.

This is n delicious enndy which mny bo mndo with nny kind of huts. Peanuts are especially good. Shell and romovn tho brown skins from a quart of peanuts. Roll them with a rolling pin until welt broken, but not too fine. Put ovor tho fire to cook, a pound of light brown tugar and six ounces of butter. Cook just ten minutes from the time It Commences to bubhln. ntlrrlnc con stantly to keop any part from scorch- ins. Add trie peanuts and pour Into a buttered pan to cool.

To many tho lunch basket Is a re minder or an occasional picnic, but to tho woman who has to fill one 300 days In tho yenr It Is Indeed a prob lem. A lunch basket must, first or all, be dainty, not a hard thing -to accom plish, as thero nro many cheap and at tractive paper dl3hes and napkins that look well and aro cheap enough to be. dally renewed. A cold lunch entoa dally Is n hnrd tax upon tho digestion, nnd thought should bo given Us prepa ration. A man working In tho open nlr Is ablo to digest hearty food, such us a Jar ot baked boans. The sandwiches may be hearty or dainty as tho appo tlto demands. Always wrap them In ollod paper, which may bo bought by the pound and kopt tor such purpose. Meat sandwiches aro always better If the moat Is put through tho meat choppor nnd soasonod well. Plcklos, olives and cheese should bo carefully wrapped. Fruit Is always welcome as n des sert, but a cup of boiled or baked cus tard is both appetizing and whole some. When sending oranges in n lunch basket, removo tbd peeling nut! wrap each section In paper. An or nngo prepared In this way Is grently enjoyed. A surprise In the form of enndy or nuts Is nlways appreciated by young and old. Tho smnll tin wnfor boxes nro Ideal ror holding a sllco or enko; theso may bo scalded, ntrod nnd used Indefinitely, Romovo nil food left In tho box or bnskot and nlr It well, ns foods nro often spoiled by odors ot stnlo foods. A bottlo that has n tight stopper nnd will hold a cup of milk or coffee Is most convenient. Many women do not know or do not caro how a lunch Js prepared or of what It consists. Nourishing, wholo somo food, well nnd neatly put up, will savo many dimes and nickels which would go for liquor to supply a craving that good food would sat isfy. A ploca ot baker's bread, plo and a cooky will not sustain It man at hnrd labor. Such a meal must bo supplemented from tho lunch countor.

Oysters do not contain tho nourish ment that we have been in timo past lod to Biippose. They are easily di gested and that, with the ndded vn rlety'thoy glvo to our diet Is tho chief reason they nro so valued. When oyster's como from tho mar ket they should bo carefully looked over to romovo broken shells. It Is wlso not to uso tho water In which they are received. Put tho oysters Into a colandor nnd pour ovor them plonty of cold water. This process should . always bo followed before cooking. Fried Oysters. Select large, fat oysters, drain them nnd pltico them on a large board. Dry each oyster with a soft cloth, dust with salt and pepper. For each, dozen oysters allow one egg beaten light and a tablespoon fill of water added. Dip tho oysters into fine breadcrumbs then into the egg. then back into the bread crumbs, bolng enreful to keep tho crumbs dry and tho egg treo from crumbs. Whon all are ready, have a kettlo of lnrd and suet mixed, heat tho fat until n' cubo of bread browns In 40 seconds, when It will bo sufficiently hot. Put flvo or six oysters in a frying basket and plunge them Into tho rat; as soon as they nro n golden brown lift the basket, drain the oysters on brown paper and serve at once. Oyster Sandwiches. Arrnngo fried oysters on crisp lettuco leaves, allow. Ing two oysters for each leaf, and one fpr each sandwich. Oysters a la Thorndyke, Clean and drain a pint of oysters. Melt two t.T hlespoonfulB of butter, add tho oysters and cook until plump. Then ndd the seasonings of n half teaspoonful of salt, a dash of nutmeg and cayenne, n fourth cup of cream, two egg yolks. When tho egg Is cdoked servo ou crackers. In preparing cscallopcd oysters It Is well to remember never to have moro than two layers as tho tnsldo ono will not be cooked, when tho top and bottom layers aro well done. To ireparo a block of Ice to serve oysters, use n square or oblong of clear Ico and with hd"t flatlrons melt a cavity large enough to hold tho oys ters. Pour tho water from tho cavity as It Is formed. M. WAS TOO PUBLIC FOR HIM Mild Mannered Little Man Ha3 Very Embarrassing Experience. -on Street.
