Alice Yells, a singer, is creating a sensation in New York. But just wait until Sarah Screech gets busy. The Standard Oil company says ‘it will obey the court’s ruling which must be a strange sensation for the Standard 0il. Speaking of slogans, here is one from Kiowa, Kansas: “Catch Kiowa, Kansas, if you can.” Kiowa evident- ly intends to go some. With the railroad fare increased $3.50 to the cities after July 1, there is apt to an increased membership of the Stay-at-home club. A mnew union- depot, ~modern church, brick home for the Commer- cial club and other business blocks and residences going up this summer, goes to show that Bemidji is getting on the map in pica letters.

Of course we can worry along without the peanuts but it will put a0 awful crimp in the breakfast food 4ndustry to have all those shucks burned. The Vagabond' Actor. Mollere raised the status of the ae- tor to a hireling clown who must amuse his king. Sir Henry Irving was even knighted by Queen Victoria, who recognized his magnificent services to dramatic art, Butin all the years when Bir Henry was breaking his neck to run back and forth between Victoria's royal resldences and the cltles ‘where he was playing, to set up his scenes and act for the old queen’s amusement and the entertainment of her guests, he was never once officlally recefved by her at court. He had many private audlences, which were much the same for him as to have a chat with any other oid lady; but, although he was the possessor of a royal title, a favor- ite with the royal family and the greatest actor of his age, he never was invited or ‘“commanded,” as it 'Is called, to Buckingham palace. The status of vagabondia clung to his gar- ments, and he was classed with crook- ed nobles and other ' undesirables— Archie Bell in Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Inca period has left us remark- able traces, especially in the magnifi- cent roads. Broad, 'beautiful turn- pikes, now only partially preserved; run for a distance of ‘over 2,000 miles from the coast to the plateau and the foot of the highest peaks. We marvel at the skill of the Inca engineers, es- pecially in the magnificent stairways hewn in the rock, in the filling up of deep ravines, in the paving with’ pon- derous flags. In several places have been found the remaius of a former as- phalt covering to these roads. At cer- tain intervals are found the rulns of ocustom houses and laid out grounds and fortifications, of ‘which the most Interesting specimen {8 the fortress 'of Cuzco, bullt about the year 1000, and plundered and destroyed by Plzarro in 15643.—Century Path. Ts there anything in all this world that is of more importance to you than good digestion? Food must ‘be eaten to sustain life and must be di- gested and converted- into blood. When the digestion fails the whole body suffers. Chamberlain’s Tablets are a rational and reliable cure for indigestion, They increase the flow of bile, purify the blood, strengthen the stomach, and tone up the whole digestive apparatus to a naturaland healthy action.

' the growing of corn can' only be accomplished by methods ‘which shall make each acre produce ‘as great a yield as possible and still-be practical from the stand- point of the labor.involved. Any in- crease in the yleld per acre, unless at- talned at the expense of an undue amount of labor, reduces the cost of! producing each individual bushel, al| though it may slightly add to the to tal cost of production per acre. . Aside _from the fertility of the soil and the climatic conditions-of the sea- son, the farmer is master of the fac- tors that enter into a good yield of corn. - He can select an adaptable va- rlety, ‘and one known to be'a ‘goed yielder; and, with a little time‘devoted to testing and grading the seed pre- vious ‘to planting, he ‘will be able to weed out the seed that is weak in germination and irregular-in shape,-all of which will tend toward giving an uneven stand: Weak and sickly stalks, and ‘missing hills, cannot be cultivated with profit in any cornfield, and the time to avoid them is before they are planted. Likewise much of the cultivation ot the corn crop should lie in thé prepara- tion of the seed-bed before it is plant- ed. Every stirring of the seed-bed previous to ‘planting; no matter wheth- er it is with the harrow, disc or culti- vator, is a cultivation of the: crop that is to follow; and, when rightly per- formed, it conserves - soil-moisture, liberates plant food, destroys -weeds, warms the soil, and in general;makés a better preparation for the xrowth gt Seed -when planted. It is far. better to delay planting several days than to put the ‘seed in a poorly-prepared seed-bed. In fact, one of the moBt common errors in the growing 6f corn | is in being in tqo big a hurry to get| the seed‘into.the ground. The seed-bed for corn should not he too compact; and still the furrow slice should be firmly united with the sub- soil, in order that there may be a free movement -of ‘the soil-moisture when- ever needed. The surface should be free from ridges and clods, and suffi- clently mellow; so that the soil-mois- ture will rise close to the surface. Corn should seldom be planted deeper than two inches, and more often there should be ‘such an- amount of soil- moisture near the surface that a shal- lower depth will suffice. In regard to the planting operation itself, ‘no- universally ‘applicable state- ment can'be made as to the number-of kernels per hill, the space between the rows, nor the distance apart in the row. It {s safe to assume, how- ever, that three good stalks: per: hill is a good stand, that forty-four inches between rows is space enough, and that planting in the check system makes it easier to' keep the :ground clean. Before commencing to plant,” the corn-planter should be looked over: tc see that all parts are properly ad- Justed and work readily. The planter plates -should be tried with the seed that is to be used, and those giving the "desireddrop selected. A steady, moderate-walking team should be se lected to use in the planting, and a man to drive who knows how to oper- ate the machine and who takes pride inhis work:. Crooked rows, like miss- ing hills, cast a discouragement upon all subsequent care of the crop. BENEFITS “OF CULTIVATION ‘Breaking Up of the Soll Prevents Evaporation. The evaporation of water. from the surface of the land depends on the capillary attraction- of the smooth, caked surface, just as the evaporation of ofl'from a lamp depends on the ca- pillary attraction of the lighted wick. Cut the wick, and the oil ceases to pass upwards; break up the caked which was before drawn upward and dissfpated in the air, at the rat& of an inch every week—will very- largely remain in the ground. This explains the usefulness -of the. cultivator 'or the harrow, both betou and after sow- ing. - The 8udden Shock. “Your wife has received some snd- @en shock.

This factor of large-sized machinery tends, on these small farms, fo materially increase the .cost of horse labor; as an extra horse is often Pt, not because of the actual need ery is of four-horse size. This materi- ally decreases the hours of work per horse. On farms of elghty acres or | less, there is seldom -work- for more | than three horses. Machinery can be purchased, suitable for a- three-horse team, with greater economy in' the long run than the keeping of the extra horse that the large implement may be used. Generally, in such opera- tions as require an implement that can only be operated by four horses, it 18 cheaper to hire the work done than | to attempt to do it with the farm force. It 'is on farms of this size that economies are especially necesgary, as horse labor will necessarily be high upon them at best. SMALL FRUITS ON THE FARM They Are Easily Cultivated and Prof- Itable. ‘When Nature, in her distribution of fruity flayors, allotted to the North- land the strawberry, -the raspberry, the blackberry, the currant and the gooseberry, and made many varieties ‘hardy even beyond'the Arctic circle, #he ‘made it impossible that they who have their dwellings here should look with envy on the showier but less ap- petizing fruits of the South. “Doubt- less ‘God might have made a better berry than the strawberry, but doubt- less God never did.” And close to tha strawberry in attractive qualities are those others named. *‘All of them-are not only hardy, but so easily cultivat- ed. that they should be made to con- | An_ attractive .way of packing. goose- berries for market. _————————————— tribute to the table and to the revenue of every farm.- The conception that the raising of small fruits involves undue or exceptional labor, as-com- pared with other lines of labor on farm or garden, is erroneous. =Properly and intelligently pursued, the labor is a8 light as it is -attractive, and the re- turns likely to be large, both in money | -and enjoyment. A liberal space should be given to these fruits on every farm. It will well repay the endeavors of the farmer or his wife, or of the boys.and; girls.

Kirkpatrick, just is- sued. from the Minnesota University Farm, offers a varlety of suggestions. as to the propagation of these fruits. ool ke il b ke ke ke ol b o +* <~ Begin your warfare on “the < typhoid fly” by putting up o 4 screens before ‘said fly shall 4 have peopled the: air with its -l- progeny.
