It Is claimed timt the russet apples
make the best vinegar not stronger ,
but better llavoreil.
Man can build n twenty story sky-
ecrnpor In a year , but he can't make a
spider's web In n night.
Ono of the aggravations of ago Is to
have the rheumatism when the bass
fishing Is good In October.
In wet seasons , while n man may
raise bigger crops , ho always loses
more of them. August rains make n
terrible waste.
It Is the busiest men who always
hnvo the most work to do. The tuora
Bitch a man docs the moro he finds

Considering the titanic power of the
lightning stroke and Its great frequen
cy during the summer months , the
wonder la that more damage Is not
done.
With all the food In sight and all the
pigs and cattle , it must bo that before
many months the price of meats will
get down to a figure where they will
cease to be n luxury.
California Is coming to the front
with a new crop of growing impor
tance the soft shelled almond. This
year the crop amounts to 207 carloads ,
or 2,070 tons , worth about 12 cents per
pound.
There Is one comfort for the poor
man this winter , even If his coal is
likely to be high priced , and that Is
that ho will be able to get nil the good
potatoes he wants at 30 cents n bushel
or less.
The most expert chicken picker in
the country Is employed In a poultry
packing house In Chicago. His record
Is nfty chickens In 8m. Is. It Is cer
tain that the feathers fly when he gets
to work.
We have rid n large lawn of the
pesky squlrreltnil grass by persistent
mowing during Its seeding period and
burning up the cuttings. If you keep
this pest from going to seed , It will
disappear.
Rural mail routes will compel the
making of better highways. The gov
ernment has not sentimental feelings
on this subject and simply gives the
alternative of fixing the roads or losing
the service.
A heaping bushel basket of dead
sparrows was gathered up in one sec
tion of a small Interior western town
after one of the heavy storms of Au
gust. Hall plays the mischief with
these birds.
The byproducts of the Chicago packIng -
Ing houses arc worth $30,000,000 per
year and are the sources of largo prof-
ita connected with the business. Thir
ty years ago most of these byproducts
were wasted.
If In a fit of public spirit you buy a
.wide tired wagon , your neighbors wll
qulto likely commend your public spirit
and keep right on using their old nar
row tired outfits , letting you smooth
the highways for them.
The old poky way of farming with
oxen and doing most of the farm work
by hand in France is at last giving
way to Improved methods whore the
horse supplants the ox and the modern
machine the hand labor.
The freight car with ball bearings
something we have often wondered
did not come to the front , is out al
last and is a pronounced success and
if generally adopted is certain to still
further reduce the cost of freight trans
portation.
The general government has finally
abandoned further efforts at the im
provement of navigation on the Mis
souri river. The railways have beaten
the boats and captured nearly all the
freight which was at one time carried
on the river.
Central Iowa seems to be the center
of the atmospheric disturbances and
unusual rainfall of the year 1902 , the
rainfall being reported at three feet
and even more In localities , doing Im
mense damage to one of the finest
crops ever raised In the state.
When a man can get his dairy herd
up to an average of 350 pounds of but
ter per head , he can afford to entirely
Ignore the beef side of the business of
etock raising. Such cows should be
bred to secure as many heifer calves as
'possible which will do as well or bet
ter than their dams. The male calf
should meet a theological fate bo dis
posed of as deacons. _
The gravers of nwoet corn for the
cntmcrles are this year gt'UIng SO per
ton for their product , oiiuhnlcnt to u
roturii of about $ ls pot1 ncic. bcHldei
thu furngo , worth not less than $1 per
acre. As this riop IH cheaply pro
duced and draws very lightly upon
the bull , It Is a profitable one to raise.
The growing of cotton Is being de
veloped In Houthorn Russia , about 11 ,
000 bales of the staple being produced
last jnr. . The growers now have rep
resentatives In this country examining
the machinery used for making cotton
seed oil , the seed there produced hav
ing been up to this time almost wasted.
Twenty thousand ' 'PS came to
this country in the mom. . Uily from
the hillH , MilleyH and towns of Sweden ,
every one of them , male and female , of
theory be.t type of foreign citizen
ship , nil industrious and thrifty and to
be most easily and readily nsstmllnttd
and transformed Into good citizens
here.
A man never renlly understands the
risks which he runs In living until he
becomes the possessor of n good ml-
crobcopc , and tlu-n he wonders he did
not die jears ago. The horrlbleness of
invisible forms of life IH calculated to
give one the cold chills when one real
izes that Kiich life Is in nil air breathed ,
food oaten and water drunk.
The great mhnntngv of growing your
own fruit lies in the fact that you can
allow It to get to that Htape of perfect
maturity before using which makes it
palatable and desirable , while nearly
all of the imported fruits have to bo
picked bo long before they arrhe nt
this stage that much of their flavor
and lusclousness are destroyed.
Kansas farmers have learned that
the grasshopper , heretofore regarded
as a pest , may be made of much utili
ty and profit. Largo Hocks of turkeys
are raised and are easily taught to
range the farms for the hoppers , of
which they are very fond and fed up
on which they become large and fat.
This Is the age of economies and utili
ties.
Talking about forage crops , we have
a sample of Japanese millet which in
sixty days from the date of sowing
the seed produced fifty bushels of seed
and five tons of fine fodder to the acre.
The crop stood six feet high , and the
stalks were green and Juicy when the
seed was ripe enough to grow. It is
our opinion that the land upon which
this crop was grown will need a rest
or a tonic next year.
A good many farmers could do more
to Improve their condition by visiting
some successful fanner in tome other
locality and studying his methods than
they could in any other way. The man
to learn from is the man who does
things and not the man who can only
tell how they should be done. We
never yet visited a progressive and suc
cessful farmer but wo found out some
things which were of value.
There are three things which may
be done with a few hours' work round
many a farm home which would 1m
prove the appearance of things 100 per
cent repairing the fence around the
dooryard , { rimming the trees and cut
ting the weeds around the premises
and clearing up the old ragtag and
bobtail lot of broken machinery , old
posts , wire , boards and the like. These
decorations do not harmonize with a
good house.
Few have any correct Idea of the
magnitude and importance of the meat
inspection work bf the government ex
perts. During the past year 37,000,000
animals were Inspected either before
or after being slaughtered. Of 5,250-
000 cattle Inspected only one-fourth of
1 per cent were condemned , of 0,500-
000 sheep only one-tenth of 1 per cent
and of 24,250,000 hogs only one-third of
1 per cent failed to pass Inspection , a
really remarkable showing of the good
health of the stock of the country.
Careful experiments made show that
pigs weighing about fifty pounds each ,
about twenty-flvo to the acre , placed
lu an alfalfa pasture , will make a gain
of 100 pounds each during the grow
ing season. This on alfalfa alone. If
given a supplemental feed of grain ,
the gain will , of course , bo still better.
This figures up a fine return for the
use of an acre of alfalfa 2,500 pounds
of pork , worth , at the low figure of $4
per hundredweight , $100. Another good
thing is that hogs so fed are almost
always free from disease.
A binding twine lighter in weight
and of superior tensile strength to the
twlno in ordinary use has been made
this season from flax fiber alone. When
we consider the enormous amount of
twine now consumed and the fact that
the raw material from which it is
made Is nil the product of some for
eign country and Imported and the
further fact that 2,000,000 or 3,000,000
tons of flax straw are as good as wast
ed each year in this country , the im
portance of this discovery and inven
tion may be In some measure realized.
The government experts are working
on an irrigation problem on the Salt
river , in Arizona , which includes the
building of a dam and reservoir in a
canyon in the mountains and the im
pounding of a body of water twelve
miles long , a hundred feet deep and
three miles wide , or sufficient water to
irrigate 1,000,000 acres of desert land.
Coupled with the use of the water will
bo the utilization of the Immense wa
ter power thus created , which , in the
language of the expert In charge , will
bo such that the power created by the
discharge of the water needed to Irri
gate one acre of land will be sufficient
when transmitted by electricity to
pump water from deep wells to irri
gate another acre.

It Is of Interest to note that nearly
all the Improvements made In farm
machinery have been along rotary1
lines. There IH the revolving cylinder
of the thrashing machine , the whirling1
disk of the cream bepnrator , the clrcn-1
lar saw , the rotary dink In place of the
ding , the rolling colter , the- disk plow ,
the windmill , the hay loader , the corn
sheller , the corn shredder , the forngo
cutler , the motive power for harvest-
CIH and mowers applied In a lotary
\\iiy. The application of tills rotary
principle has revolutionized the printIng -
Ing business , underlies all land and
water transportation methods and
deems to be In perfect harmony with i
the great natural law of rotation
which legulntes the motion of the
enitli and planetaiy system , the move
ment of storms and the recuneuce of
thu seasons.
DUI12ST AND WKTTI2ST PLACES.
The wettest place In the United
States , the locality where fallw the
most niln , ns shown by tlio weather
bureau reports , Is Glenorn , Ore. , where
the average rainfall for ten years has
been 135.84 Inches , while the driest
place , the locality where the rainfall is
least , is the weather bureau station nt
Ncwmnn Tank , In California , where
for twelve years the rainfall has been I i
only 1.223 Inches per annum. Other
stations in the state of Washington re
port over 100 Inches of rainfall per
year , while all through the desert re
gions of California and Nevada the an
nual precipitation is less than four
inches. The sections of the country
where the great crops are produced
show up with from twenty-flvo to fifty
inches of rainfall.
COAL A VCGCTAI1LD PHODVCT.
The laud laws of the government
touching arable and mineral lands
vary very much , the laws governing
mineral lands operating to restrict the
privileges granted to the homesteader
on the arable lands. An interesting
case has Just been decided by the land
office on this line , where lignite coal
cropping out on a certain tract In
North Dakota was claimed by the con
testant of a homestead entry to con
stitute the tract as mineral land. The
land olllce holds that lignite is a vegc-
table production and the land arable
land , the formation of lignite being
too new a product of decomposed veg
etation to entitle it to classification as
a mineral.
PUTTEHUHS.
A good deal has been said and writ
ten in fuNor of the slow and thorough
workman as compared with the hus
tler who slights his work. It seeing
to us that there is a happy medium
between these two extremes. These
slow fellows are sometimes desperate
ly exasperating , for there come times
on the farm and in other lines of busi
ness also when a hustle Is almost im
perative and when corners must bo
cut and unimportant work slighted if
one would keep up with his work.
Puttering often passes for thorough
ness with these slow ones , and when
one has this sort of help It Is of no use
to bay out a big stint of work for them.
SHEEP POU THE HIGHWAY.
It would greatly Improve the appear-
nnce of the country highways all over
the country if a flock of sheep under
the care of a herdsman and a trained
dog could be kept in the community
for the sole purpose of pasturing down
the sides of the roads. This would bo
done in the countries of the old world ,
where so much good land would never
be permitted to go to waste year after
year. So used , 200 sheep would com
pletely transform the appearance of
any four square mlles of territory.
BEST TIME OIT THE VEAIl.
The best time of the whole year Is
Just when summer blends Into fall ,
when the tempestuous and electrical
energy of nature Is spent , when the re
wards of toll In the garden and orchard
and on the farm are ready for distribu
tion , when hail , cyclone and flood can
no longer mar the crop ; when the black
bass bite In the eddy down on the river - ]
er and spring chicken and pumpkin
pic become staples on the bill of fare.
Life Is then worth living , If ever.
CLocnnimsTs.
We are asked what n cloudburst con-i
Blsta of. A popular Idea seems to bo ]
that the water Is let out of the cloudsi
in the same manner that It Is poured !
over a waterfall In a solid mass. This'
Is erroneous. A so called cloudburst Is
simply nn unusually heavy fr.ll of ,
rnln three , four and sometimes asi
much as six Inches falling within n\
ehort time , a feature of electrical and !
cyclonic conditions of the atmosphere. 1

LILLER PASSES THE LIE.
Colonel Russell Harrison Then Makes
Pasa at Former Adjutant General.
Indianapolis , Sept. 23. The third
encampment of the Spanish-American
War Veterans' association convened
yesterday. Governor Durbln welcomed
the veterans to the city. The encamp
ment will last for three days.
The removal for alleged lucom-
potency of W. C. Liller as adjutant
general of the Spanish-American War
.Veterans Is said to have removed the
only obstacle In the way of a consoli
dation of the Spanish war veterans
now meeting In Detroit and the Span
ish-American VTar Veterans mooting
in Indianapolis. President Roosevelt ,
in his speech today , will advocate this
consolidation , which la favored by the
1 officers and members of both organiza
tions almost unanimously.
The differences that have existed
between high officers of the Spanish-
American war veterans culminated
yesterday In a sensational Incident.
During the course of a discussion on
the validity of certain records of the
last encampment Adjutant General
Liller , who was removed from office
Sunday night , gave Colonel Russell
B. Harrison the lie direct. The latter
made a dash for the deposed official ,
but was caught and held by Colonel
E. R. Hutchlns of Iowa and Dan S. I
Bauer of Louisville.
