1 / , ( _ NRWS : _ FRIDAY , _ AyOir8T22,1002 , f The fall working of the public high- svaya Is u mistake. > August lllcs nmko the cows shrink lu their milk , no matter how good the pastures may be. Timothy will do well sown the fore part of September , but do not BOW the clover until spring. 1 When the young rooster begins to crow , he wants the frj'lug pan , or , rather , the frying pan wants him. ' Cows , clover and corn will , If proper ly combined , put any farmer In the ( western pralrlo sections on his feet financially. The census shows that the state of Iowa produces just a million dollars n day in farm products for every day In the year. i There are lots of farmers who overwork - [ work themselves for thlrty-flve years BO as to be able to spend their savings and last days at some sanitarium In a 4valn effort to recover lost health. We have found the purple top Swede turnip sown about the 1st of August to give the best turnip for table use which we can produce. Turnips make their best growth during the moist , cool fall days. ' It will always be hard to make some farmers understand that they do not Lave n right to kill the game and catch the fish in the streams on their farms Just when they want to regardless of etato laws defining closed and open seasons. r The katydids made their appearance this year earlier than usual , about July 20 , when they are not usually due till about the 10th of August If the old saw holds good six weeks to frost from their coming an early September frost will pinch a lot of late corn. ' The great objection to clover as a dry forage plant is that it is very diffi cult to cure properly , the season when It should be cut being almost always ehowery. Not one-fourth of the big crop of clover where the writer lives Ctvas secured in good shape this year. 1 Sprecklcs has discovered a new meth od of refining sugar at a cost of $1 a ton against ยง 7 , the present cost to the sugar trust , aud the process Is so sim ple that It can be carried out on the plantations where the raw sugar is produced and with inexpensive appli ances. ' \Ve have a letter from a good friend of the farmers' mutual insurance com panies who favors the payment of all losses up to two-thirds of the value of the property destroyed and Insured re gardless of the manner in which the tire loss occurred save in case of in cendiarism. For every acre of crops destroyed on the bottom and slough lands of the cen tral west and northwest this year by the excessive rainfall there will be five acres of splendid crops produced on all those areas where the normal rainfall Is too scant to Insure large crops in an prdlnary year. _ _ _ , ' Wo have known some balky horses beyond the reach of moral suasion , Ji ? kind treatment and prayer. Nothing ( would start an old buckskin we once owned but a split plug of tobacco [ wrapped around his bit This would make him so sick at the stomach that ho forgot all his meanness in a very short time. 1 Of course it may not be possible be cause of the press of other work to do , but there Is no work on the farm which pays better than getting the stubble and weeds well plowed under during the mouth of August It has almost al the advantages of a summer fallow , cleans the laud and makes of the rub bish covered up a valuable plant food for the next season. * As with all other unrefined and unde sirable things in this world there are an aggressiveness and intolerance about weeds which put one to his wits' em to know how to manage them. Now , , why should a burdock grow thrifty and lusty and a tomato ptant not four feet from It under same conditions , without culture , only grow to be a poor , little , spindly , unproductive thing ? ' Maybe some of our readers will be doing the same thing wo did last year get to hunting all over the gar den for some dead and putrid thing .which wo could smell only too well , but could not find , to find later on the cause of the trouble to bo a stinkhorn - horn mushroom growing near a post and almost out of sight. If you smell this smell , look for a mushroom and not a dead cat The attempts at skunk funning have nil provwl fit Hurts. It Is a mls"rablo alternative when n farmer l.s forced to take tramp help ergo go without. When a three-months-old calf will bring $20 for veal , It helps out the dairy business. Alfalfa furnishes lots of food for the jces , in which respect It is far ahead of red clover , whose nectar , can only be reached by the bumblebee. Marching off a lot of hoboes at the muzzle of shotguns to the harvest Quids to work was one of the funny harvest season freaks of Kansas this year. No sUite In the Union Is coming to the front with larger or better crops ; hls year than Nebraska. This year's crop will bo worth as much OH the land which produced it through much of the state this year. The farmers' telephone lines in a western state did much to bring to an abrupt ending the late attempted cor ner In corn In Chicago. Every man holding any corn of the contract grade was reached In a hurry by the tele phone. It means either tile draining or seed ing down for lots of land all through the prairie sections , the excessive rains of the summer having completely ruined the growing crop upon all lands which were originally sloughs , basins and marshes. We noticed a row of dewberries nice ly trained up on a low wire fence the other day and readily saw that this method removed one of the great ob jections connected with this fruit the gathering of the berries with the vines sprawling all over the ground. A permanent drought seems to have settled down upon all that part of in terior Australia which has heretofore been a great pastoral country. The sheep and rabbits , combined with the lack of rain , have ruined the country , and the stock losses have been enor mous. True that the rain falls upon the just and the unjust alike , but this year , when the just man on the river bottom tom got his share and then all that fell on the unjust man's place on the hill above him to boot the theological equity of the old saying was knocked into n cocked hat Riding across the country lately dur ing a severe storm , we noticed that In nearly every pasture where stock was kept the cattle all bunched near to the fences , which , being of wire , ex plained why so much stock Is killed by lightning where the fence wires are not properly grounded. Wo Just remark that good , old fash ioned oatmeal , properly cooked , still holds first place with us in competi tion with all the newfangled germ and malted cereal foods with which the country Is flooded. The canny Scots man is said to be the legitimate prod uct of oatmeal and the Shorter Cate chism. Some men a good many make the mistake of sowing too large a field of rape for the stock which they wish to eat it. Rape needs feeding off close , when the new growth will give all through the season a young and tender foliage. When allowed to grow , It soon becomes strong , tough and un palatable. The question of saving the corn fodder der will soon be up. The value of thfs fodder has been demonstrated the past winter ns never before , and , while hay the country over will be more plentiful and much cheaper than a year ago , the corn fodder Avlll still be saved , for when well cured It is the best fodder produced on the farm. The elderly man who is bothered to know Just where to place some of his money for investment would do a good thing to hunt out some deserving and poor young man and help him on his feet. In most coses such investments would not only bo profitable In a finan cial way , but much satisfaction would result from the doing of such a gener ous act We have known a man owning a ten thousand dollar farm to kick because he had to pay an annual tax of $45 on It This man should go to Bulgaria , Turkey , Egypt , India and other semi- civilized countries If he would know what real taxation Is. In no country on earth does a man get more In re turn for the taxes ho pays than in America. It seems funny to turn back fifteen years and read what a furious contro versy there was over the question of dehorning cattle. The various humane societies and all tender hearted people were up in arms over the new barba rism , as it was termed , while broad sides of indignation were hurled at the men who ventured to practice it It took time to prove the humanity of the process and quiet the opposition. Now there Is no voice of protest Where the writer lives there Is hard ly a week gdes by that some man does not have a valuable horse ruined by the barbed wire ; not all In the pas turcs by any means , but a horse Is tied near a fence and gets a foot over or It runs away and into a fence , or careless drivers drive the horse over down and loose wires all sorts o : ways. Then lightning kills a good many by reason of their standing will their heads near the fence during elcc trie storms.

It Is a delicate buslm'Sfl attempting to advise a manse so Hltuatud , and about all wo fool like doing In to state a few facts for hln consideration.

It would look as though with such a family ho would be spe cially well fixed to get hold of a truck farm In the south , where early vegetables - tables and borrlus could be produced for the northern market. There are much profit and reasonable safety and certainty In this business , which Is bo ng developed at a rapid rate in North Carolina and many of the Atlantic coast sections. Wo are reliably In formed that a very fair quality of laud timbered can be bought on easy .onus contiguous to lines of railway and that the throe cropa of strawber ries , potatoes and string beans can be raised and put on thu eastern markets so early that more clean money can bo made from twenty-five acres In such crops than can bo made off the best eighty acre farm In the west A man with such a family has no right to M > ocate that his children will bo de prived of all educational advantages , and a frontier location too often In volves this. There are other good loca tions In Louisiana and Arkansas where fruit raising and poultry keep- , ng could be mndo very profitable. The trouble Is that men situated Just as our friend Is do not know Just where to go , and for all such so situated we would advise sending for all the literature which can bo obtained descriptive of those localities where land Is cheap. This literature may be obtained of the passenger or land agents of any of the railways , of the state land commis sioners or state auditors in fact , al most any citizen will give information touching his locality when written to. Get all this information together , then decide where to look first and make n personal Inspection. The chances are that you will thus find the place you seek. GROWTH OP DAHIY INTERESTS. The late census bulletin on the coun try's dairy interests Is out and shows a most wonderful development of this interest during the past twenty years , or since the date of the establishment of the creamery system. There are now 0,335 butter and cheese factories in operation , Iowa leading , with 824 ; Wisconsin , 788 ; New York , 740 ; Penn- sylvauln , 010 ; Minnesota , 540 , and Illinois , 405 , strictly butter factories or creameries , and New York leading with 1,314 cheese factories. The total capital employed Is $30,508,015 , and the value of the product is $131,100- 277 , a gain of 100 per cent In ten years. But all this lepresents only a fraction of the benefit which the de velopment of the dairy business has brought to the country , the Increased fertility of the farms , the enormous meat Interests and the more bclen- tlflc and Improved methods of agri culture which have over followed In the wake of the dairy interest , repre senting a gain in agricultural wealth which It Is Impossible to compute. The cow has done great things for the country. A HANK'S nESrONSIIHlITY. Here's a difficult problem : One coun try bank turned In to another a bundle of bills which was counted by the re ceiving bank and found to contain $500. The next day this package of money was paid out to a farmer for $500 and at the time was counted nei ther by the banker nor the farmer. The farmer carried the money all day and at night deposited the still unbro ken package In another bank , when ho discovered that it was $200 shy. He then sued the bank of which ho got the package , and the higher court held that the bank was liable. It would Took to us as though the loss should have been equally divided , for neither ono of them counted the money when It was paid over. THE SIAUTIJT AND TUB SPAnUOW. Of our smaller birds which like to frequent the haunts of men the house martin is about the only ono which can hold his own with the bullying English sparrow , and In the annual contest between these birds for the possession of nesting places the martin generally comes off victor. All our other small birds warblers , bluebirds , wrens , grosbeaks , orioles , song sparrows , cat birds and many others are simply driven away from any locality where the sparrow congregates. This Is no guesswork , but the well proved result of the closest observation by our best students of bird life. TiaiDEH IN MISSISSIPPI. There will not be a lumber famine In this country for many years , though the price of lumber may and probably will be higher. The south has vast and almost untouched .forests. Twen ty-five counties In the state of Missis sippi contain 0,800,000 acres of pine land , which will cut an average of 0,000 feet to the acre , making 34,100- 000,000 feet , worth , at $10 per thou- tand. $341,000,000.

When It was Icainod that Sharp was dead there was the greatest Indignation among the strllc era and other townpeoplo , and for a time It looked as though sorlous trouble would occur.
