Y., and are serving.as pri- vates in the ranks. It is one of the new methods adopted by the govern-. ment for the national defense in the. ‘event of a foreign invasion, and should appeal to every man who has the slightest degree of reverence for his flag and his country. Prosperity On the Flirt. ‘Who -said Prosperity was not flirt- ing with Uncle Sam? If you are a doubting Thomas, or a pessimist, or a whatnot, just listen to this and them “buck up”—and work up. Statistics just issued by the de- partment of agriculture at Washing- ton state that the product of the soil in the United States this.year will beat all world records: Here are just a few of the: figures: Wheat, 966,000,000 bushels; corn, 2,918,000,000; oats, 1,402,000,000; barley, 217,000,000; rye, 44,000,000; buckwheat, 18,000,000; white. pota- toes, 431,000,000; sweet potatoes; 63,000,000; tobacco. (lbs.) 1,083, 000,000; hay (tons), 75,000,000; ap- ples; 205,000,000; peaches, 60,000,- 000. According, to government. experts, bumper crops all along the.line are expected, with the result that the United States will market this year the greatest yield of foodstuffs in all history. And with Europe fighting instead of ‘producing it is easily to be seen that it is only a matter of a few ‘weeks or months when the American farmer will be literally rolling in gold. Now cheer up, and smile again!

Overpasturing ‘during the fall a_ fruitful cause of: failure: the clover crop. Many a good growth of:young cannot resist the tempta- turn their stock on to it allowing the ani- mals to eat it down as close as they can. This is a great mis- take, as the young plants need all their leaves at that time to’ gain strength for the next sea- son’s growth and. to protect them from being winter killed. If there is any danger of the clover becoming so far advanced as to form heads it would be better to run # mowing ma- chine over the field, setting it to cut ;as high as possible, so as not to injure the crowns of the clover plants. By removing the dividing board the clover will not: be left in: bunches, but will be spread evenly over the field. The ground is thus cleaned of weeds which may have sprung up since cutting the grain, and a “mulch is formed that will aid in protecting the young plants dur- in the winter. After the grain has been removed it pays to turn in a few hogs or other stock for a week or ten days in order that the waste grain may be cleaned ‘and (thus saved, but don’t pas- ture :the young clover continu- ously from that time until late in the fall if a good growth of clover .is wanted the following spring.—Towa Hou.. ::ead.’ EXTETE AL SE TSR AT AERT AL SUMMER PRUNING OF BERRIES Doing This Work In Good Season Con- serves Strength of the Plants. The summer pruning of raspberries and blackberries—that is, cutting back the wood of this year's growth to keep ‘1 down low enough so the fruit can conveniently reached when ripe next year—will cause the plants to send out lateral branches. - Do this pruning at once in order to.force early growth so the branches will mature early and growth be checked in the autumn. Winter injury will' result from the late pruning, as it does not start growth early enough to allow the wood to ripen before cold weather, which is likely to kill the plants. Whole ficlds of caneberries have been ruined by too late pruning. Pruning early permits the work to be done easi- ly and couserves the strength of the plants. Raspberries and blackberries allowed to run wild soon exhaust themselves to producing cane and will only pro- duce a few Dberries on the end of the cane. A red raspberry cut back bears MONEY IN SEED CORN THIS YEAR Fietbieidie There will -be money.in seed corn thig year. If you have a field-that is well on, better developed. than. the average, look. to it well, and when the time | comes to. select seed .corn—Seed Corn ‘Week, which. will be-announced later: —get in your seed corn. . It will be in.demand-at high pricesmext spring. The.fact that corn is seriously be- hind time this year should not lead the farmer to think that there will be no call for seed corn selection this fall. The situation makes it all the selected, if Minnesota is to grow corn next year. Minnesota needs Minne- sota-grown seed corn, not seed corn from a southern state, for southern- grown seed corn does not mature early enough to meet Minnesota con- ditions. The thing.to do is to watch over the patches that are most likely to. mature early enough to avoid frosts. If extra pains in the way of added cultivation will hasten development, do not spare the pains. Cultivate. Then get ready to select seed corn. Select seed corn from the best areas. Make ready a silo for the rest —that which is not likely to mature before ‘“frost time.” If you have any of last fall's sup ply of seed corn left, save it for next spring. bofodBdopdodoiohidobdeididibhibidididididididibibidtbidibibidibidioid '!'i'I-N'f'H'b*00‘!'01'”'0'"1-6'?‘ii*!*fl'"'H'H‘HO"'N*NN'N HOW OLD ARE YOU MENTALLY? Berkeley, Cal., Aug, 14.—Never question a woman’s age. Dr. Henry H. Goddard, professor of pyschology at the University of California summer session, says we all have two ages, a chronological age and a mental age. They are not always the case. One may be from two to five years older mentally than in actuality. In such a case one would be known as abnormally bright. Or, on the other hand, if one is back- ward in school, it is. probable that he is younger in mentally than ac- tually. An imbecile who has passed twenty years in this vale of tears may be only two years old mentally. SER1B1S1514 'Everybody Get In Line For Prosperity..

TRADE AND PROSPERITY COMING FROM FRISCO TO HAMLINE. Art Smith, the boy aviator who is proving such a sensation at the Fris- co Exposition, is to appear at the Minnesota, State. Fair, Sept. 6 to 11, as one of its star amusement attrac- tions. He will give performances day and night throughout the entire week. Smith is the achnow]edgefl “King of the Air.” He has turned over thirty loops in succession in one flight, a feat which has never been approached by any other aviator. Nor does he loop-the loop in the ¢us- tomary way. His machine looks like a falling leaf when executing the loops, and the iast loop has been executed as near as 300 feet from the ground. the aviator, with a glide, landed within ten feet of starting point.” attractions, will include -a $24, five days of the fair. ing events have filled well, and St.- Paul pace. Original Teams. son teams that played so long Madison Square Garden, its fruit just back of where it was nipped and on the short branches that shoot out from the main stem. Dr. Goddard recently described the Binet tests for mental defectives. According to these tests, children are asked certain questions and on the basis of their answers, grade as to mental age. Questions are asked which do not depend on instruction but come within the common knowl- edge of every child. ' For instance, a normal child of five should be able to. copy a square. If the child un- der observation cannot do this it is an indication that he is under five years, mentally. Of course, the re- sult of one question asked would not be taken as final evidence of defect. A long..list of questions are gone through, tests of touch, sight and other senses.made, before the child is definitely classed as defective or feeble-minded. Years of study by Binet, De Sanc- tis and other scientists were neces- sary to compile the tests. Many hundreds of normal children had to be examined before it could be de- | termined what knowledge a child of any given age should have. The system. as now perfected is in use in most of the modern schools of the country. Despondency Due to Indigestion. ‘‘About three months ago when T was suffering from indigestion which caused headache and dizzy spells and made me feel tired and despondent, I began taking Chamberlain’s Tablets,” writes Mrs. Geo. Hon, Macedon, N. Y. “This medicine proved to be the very thing I needed, as one day’s treatment relieved me greatly. I used two bottles of Chamberlain’s Tablets and they rid- me of this trouble.” Obtainable everywhere.— Adv. LIST Your city property with Glayton C. Cross Markham Hotel Building FOR.
