i e | = FARM ON SCIENTIFIC BASIS Enormous strldil Have Been Taken by Agricu Despite the asertions that farming - has not advanced and kept pace with the improvements in' other lines of tivity, the fact remains that in no dustry have there been such revolu- Ilpnnry changes as in agriculture. i From a hit-or-miss, makeshift occu- pation in which at best the farmer made a bare subsistence and hung on til he could secure something bet- r or else remained stolidly and in. erently plodding along the road his er traveled, farming has become highly organized and commercial business, based on the applica. plon of scientific principles. ;i It is to the great farm sections ot e northwest that we must look for e best example of commercialized ing, Farming in the Dakotas, ontana and Idaho is being conduct. d on & large commercial scale and it not uncommon to see a farm of a ousand acres being plowed and lanted in one season by modern, pelentific methods. Great traction engines capable of lowing 40 acres a day are employed make commerecial farming easy and ucrative. Machinery does the seed: g and the planting and machinery feaps the harvest. Modern scientifig ethods have smoothed the way of e pioneer without taking away from any of the rewards that go with e breaking and exploitation of a jpew country. The development of raw land intq orchards or grain flelds or truck gamn hens is simply & matter of mathemati. cal calculation and wise business in. ‘vestment. This has not been accoms :;llhed without a great deal of work the part of the men who have— €or profit, it is true—been laboring for nearly a century to bring about fhis highly sclentific change in farm methods. d JTORTOISE SETS CHURCH AFIRE Pet of Denver (Colo.) Pastor Upsets Lamp and Threatening Blaze " Follows. A s The average fire in church edifices %8 either the result of a defective furnace that was “all right last spring” or the work of an insane or revenge %ul incendiary, It is rare that a church re originates in any other manner. ut now from the west, which ever weems to be like the ancient people of Athens, seeking “either to hear or tell some new thing,” comes the start ling and well authenticated report that & harmless and unassuming tortoisd Bas set fire to St. Mark’s church, Dens jyer, Colo., and that a disastrous con. ilchtlon was all but averted. Wheth. Wr the recent missionary convention “4nd the influx of ecclesiastical dignt- es into Denver excited his tortoise #hip and made him temporarily non *:lmpou mentis, or whether the won shipers in the church disturbed his slumbers by uniting too heartily in Ahe singing of the aymns and the read- Ung of the responses or the Psalter, ‘we are not informed, but whatever the cause, the tortoise upset a lamp and the fire resulted. Why Your Nose Is Small. Your nose may not be so small as tg attract undue attention, but at least it is not so large and noble as it would have been had you been living in the days of Caesar, London An swers asserts. The insignificance of the present day nose is due to the introduction and general use of the handkerchief, Handkerchiefs—which are very mod <ra indeed, as things go—were nevert wuséd by the Romans, and they were less lizble to colds and the still more troublesome complaint, influenza, than we are now. As a result, they were possessed of the largest and very best whaped noses possible. ‘When civilization, which started in Rome, spread to the northern coun: tries of Burope the inhabitants of q:ese changeable climates found they had continually to rub their noses, and thus they fell below the Roman standard. This explanation, of course, soundsg somewhat far fetched, but it is a well known psychological fact that any part of the body which is continually i1 used will eventually deteriorate. Traffic In Rare Books. . Rare books to the value of nearly $1,000,000 changed hands during the last year. Those in great demand seem to be works printed by old craftsmen. A new feature of an Fnx- lish periodical, however, called “The Bargain Column,” is visible evidenca of interest in a very different sort of erticle. Tt records the luck of a visi- tor to a Suffolk inn, who found that a glass on the washstand was a Jacobite drinking glass, with a por- trait of the pretender engraved on it. Such a glass has brought as much as $500. And who will say that the mo- tive of its collector was in any degres lower than that of many a seeker of rare editions?—New York Hvening Post. Powerful Saive, A man in Nebraska has invented a new powerful double-acting salve which shows powers never before ex- hibited by saives of any kind. The inventor accidentally cut oft the tail of a tame wolf, and, immedf. ately applying some of the salve to the stump, a new tail grew out. Then picking up the old tail, he ap- plied some of the salve to the raw end of that, and a wolf grew out; but he was a wild wolf, and had te by r— BLOW Christmas Carlson Variety Just Half a Block West from Postoffice YOUR WHISTLE!
