Missouri , Kansas and Nebraska will
each compete with Iowa this year for
the honor of raising the biggest crop
of corn.
A low temperature and great humid
ity of the air have this season done
great thlnga for the cabbage and caul
iflower crops.
Two old stag hogs weighing over
600 pounds each were sold by a farm

ably got them.

delicacy , and If It was not for the
trouble of getting the birds ready It
( Would become a very popular dish.
' It has been a great year for the
growers of alfalfa , three big crops at
least , equivalent to four or five tons
of the best dry fodder to be had any-
iwhere.
Too mnnv farmers understand the
term co-operation to mean profit and
not sacrifice , when it really means
fully as much of the latter as the for
mer at times.
A neighbor of ours sold In August
100 head of hogs which averaged him
$25 per head. If this 13 not rooting
cash out of black soil , we would llko
to know what Is.
Wo found while clearing up a brush

A friend writes asking why his eel
ery plants set out in July are going to

this question. Wo have raised celery

One South Dakota creamery paid to

He was tow headed , raw , green , Just
from Norway , with $150 In his pocket ,
[ t did not seem as though there could
bo much to him outside the sphere of
a digger and grubber. This was ten
years ago. We saw him the other day ,
now thirty-five years old. He owns
1,205 acres of land , worth $75 an acre ,
and was on his way homo from Chica
go , where ho had sold five loads of fat
cattle , which brought him $107 per
head. This tow head got there In great
shape.
There Is n marked revival of Interest
In the silo question all over the coun
try. The silo as it may now bo built
Is about ns cheap a protective cover
for forage as anything which can bo
put up and is entirely available for
even the small farmer with limited
means. Added to this Is the fact It
affords a means of securing a supply
of most palatable and nutritious win
ter food for stock from a small area
of land , and wo often wonder why
more men do not use it
We have known one or two absolute
ly uneducated men the neither read
nor write sort who , because of an in
herited talent for business , have been
able to make their way In the world
and accumulate fortunes , but for f > U
that their lack of education prevented
them from being anywhere near as
good , successful and useful men as
they might have been had they been
educated. The way the world is run
ning today the more a man knows the
more of a man he can be , assuming
that he has common sense enough to
properly apply his knowledge.
It seems queer that on the average
farm the thrashing outfit and the
stacked grain are always placed lu
the open stubble Held with sole refer
ence to the shortness of haul of the
cut grain and never with any reference
to the fact that the placing of a straw
stack In the middle of the field Is a
serious Interference with plowing and
almost invariably , whether the straw
be burned or fed out leaves a quarter
of an acre of ground worthless for crop
bearing for two or three years. Why
not have this muss at the corner or
end of the field ?
In looking over the decisions of the
courts on the bee tree question wo
flnd that the courts hold that a man
has no more right to enter upon the
promises of his neighbor and capture
a swarm of stray bees , unless they
have escaped from his own hives , or
take the bees and honey from a bee
tree than he has to enter his neighbor's
orchard and steal his fruit There is
nn old belief among people , growing
out of the customs of pioneer days , that
bees and their honey are anybody's
property who first locates them , but
there is no law to Justify or warrant
any such belief.
It Is Impossible to account for such
a tremendous growth of weeds ns ev
ery man has had to tight this season
eave on the theory that a vast amount
of weed seed remains In the ground
from one year to another without ger
minating , to later spring up when soil
and weather conditions are specially
favorable to plague the tiller of the
soil. With us land which was kept
absolutely free from weeds of any kind
last year , not one being allowed to go
to seed , Is for aught we can sec Just
exactly aa badly pestered with a weed
growth this year as though a full crop
of weeds had boon allowed to go to
seed on the ground lust yoar.

The radical change of employment
from the farm Into commercial linen
Is hardly over a HUCCOSH , and In all
too many canes men ntop from the
pence and pro perlty of farm life Into
the fret , turmoil and ultlmato failure
of mercantile life. ThlH may bo mild
to bo the rule almost without excep
tion.
MKN AND ItOUH.
Mo.st of the people are of the com
mon sort , live commonplace liven and
have to get their living In a common
place manner. The few who make
their mark are those who , dlHmitlHllod
with commonplace conditions , make
now and better ones for thciiiMclvea.
General Incompotency and lack of am
bition are the calinen which keep HO
many on the commonplace level. Al
most any man could do better , live bet
ter and climb higher If he only would.
The differ * .ico In value between a

ply a dog Is anywhere from $ . " > ( ) to
$100 , the untrained dog iiiHtlncllvely
learning enough to obtain his living
and bay at the moon , while his trained
colleague IH of some real use and ben
efit to the world. It is with men Just
as It Is with dogs.
LOWICII iMiicrcs.
It Is not with regret that wo note the
falling In prices of some farm prod
ucts. Potatoes at over a dollar n bushel
become luxuries utterly out of the'
reach of the poor man. Thousands of
poor families have been denied the use
of them for the past year. Poor men
depending upon teaming for a living
have boon put in a hard place to keep
their teams because of the high prlco
of horse feed. The salaried men get
ting from $35 to $50 per month and
there are lots of these have most
keenly felt the past high prices of all
food commodities. While the farmer
has had his innings , and n good long
one , the men who have been compelled
to contribute to his good fortune arc
ready for a chango.
WHAT AI.FAl.FA WIMj DO.
A grower of alfalfa who has been in
the business for twenty years sums up
the merits of this plant ns follows :
First , Its feeding value In the form of
hay Is far superior to that of any other
and nearly equal to corn , pound for
* irti il e nn/\Tir1 I to itnlrl nnr * o r trt Id
much larger than any other tame
grass ; third , It combines excellentpas
turage with Its value as hay ; fourth , it
Is one of the best possible fertilizers of
the soil ; fifth , once established In the
soil it will last Indefinitely ; sixth , a ton
of well cured alfalfa hay contains al
most as much protein as a ton of wheat
bran and Is worth for feeding almost
as much. These facts ought to set men
to thinking and experimenting.
POST THu II-AIIM.
Every year more and more land
owners are posting their farms that
Is , arc notifying pot hunters with their
guns and dogs to keep off their prem
ises In their pursuit of gamo. We do
not blame any man for so doing. No
other method will preserve even n
small remnant of the wild game of the
country. Wo would gladly give $10
each for six bevies of quail if they
could be allowed to live unmolested on
our farm in a practical way for their
value as eaters of weed seeds and ex
terminators of noxious Insect life and
In a sentimental way because they arc
the most engaging and attractive of
any of our birds.
A STERILE CROSS.
The attempt to produce a hybrid , a
cross between the native buffalo and
our domestic cattle , has proved a
success so far as the first cross is
concerned , such hybrid possessing
many very valuable qualities ; but as
is qulto often the case with hybrids
BO produced , these arc Infertile , and
this fact necessarily bars the way to
the establishment of such a distinctive
breed of cattle. It is the same way
with the cross between the wild Can
ada and domestic goose , the product
being a very handsome but sterllo
bird.
SUCCESS FROM A SMALL BEGINNING ,
This man commenced in a very small
way ten years ago. Ho had only one
small town lot for a garden patch , but
ho know what to raise and how to
raise It At first ho peddled his garden
stuff In a basket , which ho carried on
his arm. Now ho has twenty acres In
a truck garden and Is making over
$2,000 a year. It docs not make any
difference where you put some men ;
they will get to the front and the top
anyhow.
TUB MAN IN TUB STRAW.
The man In the straw at the end ol
tbo carrier has the hardest place ol
any man In the thrashing crew , and II
matters not whether the old rigid car
rlcr Is used or whether It bo a blower
or swing stacker. When the help h
all of the neighbor kind , changing
work , It Is not an easy matter to gel
this place filled. Wo think that a mar
Is well entitled to double pay who flllf
this place.

ters , when Hiidilcnly the reports of the
big Kunn worn heard and General Mac-
Arthur listened attentively. The at
tack was on , but It eamo soonur than
was expected by the major general
commanding.
Wheii the booming of the big guns
signalled the beginning of the attack ,
for the moment nil communication
with the forts bolng cut oft by tele
graph and telephone , General Mac-
Arthur hoarded his yachtKnnawha and
proceeded to Fort Wright. Far out In
the races , the ships commanded by
Admiral Hlgglnsou were sighted , It
seemed the fleet of the enemy had
been divided , the squadron under Ad
miral Coghlau not being soon during
the 11 rut attack. Admiral Hlgglnson
came from the cast to the nice and
there the light commenced with all
the realism as far as possible of ac
tual war. The ships' lights were out ,
and it was evident the admiral hoped
he could get nearer the forts lioforo
ho was discovered , but In this nti wan
foiled , so the army olllccrs , claim , and
his ships , Including the Mu.snachuHett ?

toward the westward. l
i Admiral Hlgglnson did not long de
lay after the declaration of hostilities
to cut out work for the Jackles and
marines of his fleet , accomplishing
by daylight , but under cover of fog ,
two things that General Mat-Arthur's
I army had nntlcpated. The.se were the
seizure of Martha's Vineyard and
Block Island and the capture of the
army's signal station at each place.
Two Signal Stations Lost.
The army ofllcors hero were kept
posted In regard to the movements of
the enemy , oven after the signal sta
tions at Wood's Hole and Block Isl
and had been captured. The detach
ment of signal men at Block Island
t was in charge of A signal officer of the
I Connecticut National guard , who cs-
1 caped with all of his men hut two.
I He afterwards established a concealed
station and sent Information of value
to the defending forces. Information
'
, was also received from Wood's Hole
by a line other than that which was
nuppposod to be destroyed hy the
enemy , thus showing the efficiency of
General Qreoley's corps of signal men
and the. completeness of their work in
I preparation for the game of war now
on.
I General MacArthur Informed an As
sociated Press reprosentatlvo last
evening of his extreme satisfaction

Butchers' Strike Blows Over.
Chicago , Sept. 2. The possibility
of an Immediate strike- among the
butchers at the stock yards has been
'
averted by an agreement between the
heads of the packing houses and their

1 were not given oat , as It was said the
, matter had not been entirely adjusted.
I Officers of the unions waited on the
I managers of the firms , and It Is said
neither side desired a strike and cf-
, forts will be made to bring about a
settlement within a few days.
