Ona previous appeal to the supreme court the judgment was effectually ismissed, and the contempt proceed- is were brought all over again. In he previous action the decision of the ourt below, holding the men in con- tempt, was unanimous. The dissent- ‘ng opinion of the chief justice will probably present one avenue of fur- ther appeal. =| A ST. LOUIS BANK TELLER SHORT Man Whose Vigilance Prevented Big Do not fail to get our prices before selling, as we always |, pay top market quotations. Washington, May 6.—The contempt of court judgments against Samuel good a stand was once secured by sowing a remarkably small amount of Seed. It certainly is too high priced to sow more seed than is necessary. Grass seed is quite the opposite of Clover, so the mixtures are very apt to contain more grass than clover. Where wanted for pasture this is not always a bad failing. Tam a great believer in planting corn a medium and uniform depth. Going deep to reach moisture or planting shallow to escape moisture is notalways therightthing. The deep- planted seed may be flooded and the. shallow planting be dried out. When a number of sows are farrow- ing close together, and some litters are large and others small, it is often Possible to take from the large litter and give to the small, thus evening up the numbers. It is a good idea, how- ever, to watch matters for awhile, to see that the adoption is going to prove successful. If you want to sow a mixture of grass seed, it is my advice to buy the several kinds you wish to sow and do the mixing yourself. I know of sev- eral neighbors who bought seed al- ready mixed, and the mixing was done with view of economy, rather than in consideration of the propor- tion the mixture shouldcontain. Some even had every appearance of being floor sweepings. Farms that are lacking in natural timber should be producing an arti- ficial grove. I have ten to twelve acres of natural timber on this farm, yet a half acre was set to catalpas a few years ago, and now I wish it had | . been three or four times as much. I consider the catalpa one of the great- est trees we have. Good timber is becoming so scarce that wagon and vehicle makers are be- ginning to wonder where they are go- ing to get good sturf, particularly for wheel material, a few years hence. The iron wheel is all right when the height is low and the tire broad, but lam afraid it never can be made to exactly replace the common height of wheel used on farm wagons and buggies. It seems to me that blacksmiths do not get as many jobs of pointing culti- vator shovels as they used to. I can remember when it was a common thing to make a set of shovels last for years and years, but they are so much cheaper now that when a set | has become badly dubbed off it seems cheaper to buy new, rather than have the smith stick on new points. A sow can be kept too long, and joften many of us keep some old thing a year too long. We wait until she fails with a litter before shipping her. I have one that has a complete failure chalked against her, and now she will go to market as soon as she can be made ready. It may not pay to keep any very great surplus of corn in the cribs, yet it is sometimes. mighty. comforting. to know that it is there. One year with another, counting out shrink and in- terest on its value, I doubt if there is profit in holding corn from one season to the next, but it sometimes comes in handy to have to feed out a bunch of hogs when no one else is feeding be- cause of a corn shortage. At such times the price is usually right. The weather man handed us a whole case of London without any trimmings, as far as getting into the field is concerned during the first half of April. We needed the moisture and perhaps this rain and snow are just what we needed to give our an- nual bumper crop a start. Co-operative shipping associations are being organized in many parts of the corn belt. Their main feature is to give those who market less than a catload of hogs or cattle at a time a chance to club together and sell their live stock at the larger markets, thus saving the slice that goes to the local buyer. The theory is sound and in mie will win out. There are alto- pod too many slices taken from the farmer’s product before it reaches the consumer. ‘ater will change the best of earth into a streak of mud in a very bet time and right here is the ker- will promptly turn up their noses at the very best of dry forage that’ can be putintothemanger. When forage is as.plentiful as it is this spring it is best to keép the cattle in the yard until the grass gets a fair start. There is a movement on fuot to em- ploy an expert to every county to give the farmers the latest information on how to raise and care for crops and live stock. This looks good on paper and if enough ‘‘experts’’ can be found, that are made up on the basis of ‘nine parts diplomat to one part expert it may be a success. Everything points toward a bumper crop of apples this year. The buds are late enough so that Jack Frost will hardly dare come back and breathe upon them and the trees have a hearty look. This will be a favorable season to spray a few trees ‘‘to see how it works.” In confining any animal, especially | * a male that is used for breeding pur- poses, it always pays to make the con- finement strict and safe right at the beginning, as one break out practical- ly ruins such an animal, and if he can be confined at all after one of them it will require a much better and strong- er fence than it would have taken in the start. Spring is here and the man whohas horse power is lucky. Horses may be pushed off the earth by the gas tractor some day, but the man who must buy one or more at present is not finding bargains in bunches. The grain drill is a costly piece of machinery and very easily damaged by rusting, cracking and warping if left out in the weather. Keep it in shelter, unless it is actually in use, and then try to drive it to some shed | or barn every evening after using it! in the field, or if it is not to be used again fora day or so. The motorcycle and the bicycle may | appeal to many farmers as a sort of joke, so far as practibility goes, but} either of them could be made to’ fill an important position on ninety-nine out of every hundred farms. They! are much quicker and easier put in! condition for whisking to town after} some much-needed repairs for the hay tools, implements, etc., than the team | or automobile; the trip can be made} just as quickly ora little quicker and the expense is lly nothing.

Vandervoort, Agent. | teenth. Since May 1, 1898. Fifteen-years ago the nation was celebrating the victory of Admiral George Dewey at Manila bay. This important naval battle, which took place on May 1, 1898, has been re- © ferred to as the first half of the Span- ish-American war. The other half was fought by Admiral Schley, with. Admiral Sampson’s fleet, off Santiago, Cuba, on July 4 of the same year. The outcome of the war wassettled in the minds of the world after that affair in Manila bay fifteen years ago last Thursday. It had been settled in the minds of Americans previously:to that, but other nations, including Spain, could not.see things quite the way we did. After Dewey’s over- whelming victory it was apparent to all that the contestants were illy matched. Principal interest in regard to the battle at this date lies in the fact that it was fifteen years ago. To few will it seem so long. But the young sol- dier who was 25 then is 40 now, and probably a good many boys bearing the name of Dewey will be graduated from high schools this spring From the standpoint of general world advancement these fifteen years have been as prolific as any like period in history. In 1898 the num- ber of automobiles in the country was decidedly limited. At the Trans-Mis- sissippi exposition, held in Omaha that summer, visitors were invited to take a ride in one lonely automobile, such a ride being almost as much a novelty as a ride onanelephant. To- day the automobile industry is one of the largest and most important in the | world. Since 1898, too, the aeroplane has | been invented and developed until one aviator has flown almost a thousand miles in one day. The Panama canal has been started and almost finished. China and Portugal have become re- publics. The north and south poles have been discovered. Wright, Flex- ner.and Ehrlich have given us re- spectively the vaccine treatment for typhoid, the serum treatment for spinal meningitis and salvarsan for blood poison. Friedmann perhaps has discovered and is selling to the _ world an improved treatment for tuberculosis. If the next fifteen years show as | much progress as the last fifteen the |commemoration of the the thirtieth anniversary of the battle of Manila will be a still more interesting mile- post for reminiscence than is: the fif- And like the last fifteen, the coming decade and a half will be gone before we realize it. .—Joplin Globe.
