I 1% $1.00 PER YEAR ON TO DENVER A City Of Beauty And Cleanliness With An Electric System That's Perfect And Plenty Water All Saturday we traveled over land that has not moisture enough in its soil to raise the native sun flower and we saw thousands of acres of dead ones, and prairie dogs by the thousands. The poor little villages along the route look sick—no improvements any where—and the people acted so disheartened that they would not even come down to the depots to look at our seven cars with a double header. These poor people must migrate, their crop at least will not save them. The stock along the route could be easily counted. Arriving at Denver, things quickly change. I remarked to a gentleman sitting near me that I hoped we would get into the city before that storm in the distance would strike us, he answered laughingly and said "I guess yon were never on the plains before," which I answered negatively, when he said -'what appears to be a storm in the distance is the Rocky Mountains.' I was astonished and felt I was from Missouri. Venturing another question I said 1-how ID 1 Denver, Colo. June 11th My Dear Brother Wylgm:—Wall, just a line to say that I pulled into Denver at 3 p. m. yesterday aud put np at Hotel Roslyn, European Plan. Secured a nice room and took a bath which was very necessary after "crossiug the plains" From daylight Saturday morning until we came right up to the city limits of Denver the poor eondition of crops and country is in evidence. Millions of acres are not in crop and never will be, until soma method of sub-irrigation is found to wet up occasionally this arid plain as it is needed. To cross this vast territory and notioe an occasional fallen down sod house forcibly reminds one of the pioneer who fought a brave fight but was vanquished. In the twelve hour# run across this desert plain we saw men here and there planting oorn with listers, in'deep furrows, and wheat headed out not over 6 inenes high, thousands of acres of it. That is the winter wheat of Kansas and eastern Colorado. Then just think of plantiag corn in the middle of June, in ground so dry that you ean scarcely see a mam on the lister for the oloud of dust that he stirs up,-and yet somebody is telling of the fertile lands along the route over which we came. far are we from Denver?" He remarked '21 miles." I said "thanks, guess I'll take a little walk over to the mountains tomorrow, it will help pass"the day pleasantly. He said "how far do you imagine the nearest mountain to be?" I said "if Denver is 21 miles I should think the city is built right up against it." He answered 'the nearest mountain is ninety miles away," so there and then I gave up my Sunday walk and tonight, now 7 p. m. I am not sorry of my decision. Tomorrow at 8 o'clock I will start if all be well for Steamboat Springs and expect to arrive there at 7 p. m. They tell me that we will be in perpetual snow before dinner time aud travel in it several hours. The Mofi'at Road over which we travel is said to be the grandest scenic road !n tell you more about it later. W. J. Lauceiot Advertising Does Pay H. A.

PATTY, Route I EXIRA .v.*.: No Repairs SAVING THE PROFITS BENEFITS OF COOPERATION IN JACKSON COUNTY. Farmers Are Saving $6,000 a Year Through Co-Operative Creamery—Most Successful of Ita Kind In the State. Few people realize fully the amount of money saved to a community or even to an individual by a properly managed cooperative creamery. In one community In Jackson Obunty Is a cooperative creamery that is saving from $5,000 to $6,000 a year to the farmers who patronize It. It is considered by traveling salesmen and dairy commissioner, as one of the most successful creamerfes of its kind In the state. In 1900 a few of the most prosperous farmers in the locality saw what profits were to be made from dairying. They were five or six miles from town, which was the only market. At the suggestion of a few of the most energetic, about twenty of them met in the school house and fixed up a temporary organization. They soon found out that there were plenty of cows to support a creamery. The question of financing now came up. A number of farmers gave their note for $200 each, payable In five years without interest. These were deposited in the bank as security, and the money to finance the enterprise borrowed on the strength of this. A site was secured about 75 yards from a railroad switch on a main road. A large hollow brick building was put up and equipped with modern machinery. The plant complete cost close to $4,000. A committee had met and drawn up a constitution and by-laws. This provided for a board of seven directors, and a secretary and treasurer. The president was elected by the directors from among their number. The secretary was a farmer living close to the creamery, who had a small farm and could thus spare time for his new work. He was to receive $10 per month for hiB services. The president, and the treasurer, who was the cashier of the First National bank, were to work without any salary. It Is In the plan of cooperation that the strength of the creamery lies. At the start payment was made every month. Since, they have voted to pay twice each month. Milk or cream is tested every two weeks and the amount of butter fat a patron has delivered is computed. A sinking fund of 1 or 1% is set aside from each month's returns. This fund is intended to be used to pay off the debt. The running expenses are then deducted. The balance is now apportioned to each patron according to the number of pounds of butter fat he has delivered. In this way each patron gets as much per pound for his butter fat as the company gets for the butter, as the overrun will more than pay the sinking fund and the running expenses. After the creamery had run five years, there was not enough money in the sinking fund to pay off the debt. The bank loaned enough with the property as security and the notes were cancelled. As soon as the debt was paid, the secretary's salary was doubled, and the directors voted themselves $1 for each meeting. The growth of the creamery has been phenomenal. At the start they made about 1,000 pounds of butter per week. During the last summer a little over 10,000 pounds per week was made. At first only 62 patrons were on the list, now there are 300. At first, only whole milk was taken in, later both whole milk and cream. Now only cream is received. All the cream is hauled in. Many Improvements have been made during the ten years of operation. A large Ice house was built, almost all new machinery has been installed, and a barn built for the use of the butter-maker. This year they are starting to build an addition to the main building. It will add a new store room, a living room for the butter-maker, an office and directors' room, and enlarge the refrigerator. The money is now in the bank to pay for this addition. They have always been able to pay at least V2 cent a pound for butter fut more than any of the private creameries. Sometimes this excess goes as high as 1M: cent a pound. This is what has pulled such an increase in patronage. One farmer's herd averages about 2,000 pounds of butter fat a year. This means that he gets from $15 to $20 more than if he had patronized a private creamery. With 300 men patronizing the creamery, it means a saving of $5,000 or $6,000 to the farmers each year. Since the organization of this company, four other creameries within a radius of twelve miles have gone out of business. This most successful cooperative creamery is just commencing its good work, rt is entirely out of debt, and the men who patronize now will save 1 cent on each pound of butter fat delivered. Peach Borers. The peach borers are at work. They are white grubs tunneling beneath the bark of peach trees at the surface of the ground. Although they have done most of their work already, yet this is the best time to get them. They are nearly full grown or may be even found in the cocoon. They may be located in the tree by the presence of gum and sunken spots in the bark at the crown. They begin to hatch from the cocoon about June 15. From that time they will be beyond control until another spring. POOR COW A BURDEN DAIRY TEST ASSOCIATIONS ARE DOING GOOD WORK. How Some Iowa Dairymen Are Getting Rid of "Star Boarder" CowReduces Doubt and Uncertainty to Minimum. R. K. BLISS, Iowa Extension Department. The dairy test association gets rid of the poor cow improves methods of feeding and management builds up a market for surplus stock and reduces doubt and uncertainty to a minimum. It is the application of sound business principles to the dairy and will do more toward increasing profits from cows in ten years than haphazard individual effort can do in forty. The method of organizing a cow testing association is simple. Several farmers (usually 26) agree to pay a certain sum of money to have their cows tested. The cost is generally $1 to $1.50 per year per cow, depending on the number of cows in the association. A minimum charge of $10 is made for the year's work. One nian, the cow tester, gives his entire time to the association. He visits one herd each day and hence is able to visit each herd once each month. He usually arrives In the afternoon and weighs the grain and rough faed each cow eats night and morning. He weighs the milk that each cow gives night and morning, takes a sample of it and tests it for butterfat. For one day each month the tester knows how much butterfat each cow has produced, and how much It cost to produce it. He multiplies this one day record by the number of days in the month and records the same in the record book. An extra copy of this report is left with the farmer. The tester makes twelve visits to each farm during the year. At the end of that time every farmer in the association knows approximately how much butterfat each cow has produced and how much it cost to produce it. The result is that the rule of exactness replaces the rule of guess. In fact thore is no need for guess work at all. The low producing cow goes to the butcher shop and the high producing cow is kept in the herd. Heifers from the best cows are retained. Bulls are selected from high producing cows. Sound business principles are put into operation and profits are correspondingly increased. The tester himself becomes a dairy specialist. He sees the business not from his own viewpoint alone but from the viewpoint of 26 practical farmers. He knows exactly what each man in the association is feeding. He has the different rations all copied neatly in his note book. It is each farmer's privilege to study what every other farmer is feeding. Occasional meetings are held for the purpose of comparing notes. In this way the man with the low producing herd gets valuable suggestions from the man with the high producing herd. A friendly rivalry is encouraged, for no man likes to be at the tall end of the procession. Therefore the careless farmer adopts some of the methods of the careful one. Better feeding methods prevail. Cracks in barns are nailed up. Manure Is hauled out and buildings are kept cleaner and in a more sanitary condition. The spirit of improvement spreads from the members of the association to their neighbors and the whole community is benefited. The co-operatlve spirit between farmers is encouraged, people learn to work together for the good of the community, mid this all finds expression in better roads, better schools, and better social conditions in the country. Iowa has four of these associations in operation at the present time. The most striking fact brought out in their work is the remarkable variation between individual cows kept under similar conditions. Practically every herd had both good and poor cows in it. The best one-third of the cows in these associations made an average net profit of about $51 per cow, while the one-third poorest cows made a net profit of $20 per cow, or a difference of over $30 in profits between cows. It is worth while to find this out. Moreover there are such differences in every herd. If a man owns a scale and Babcock test outfit he may test his herd for himself, but this most nieu will not do because of the time and eare that it takes. Besides It can be dono more accurately in most cases by an expert tester. Where each man does his own testing there is lost also the benefit of co-operation and mutual help and the advantage of the "get together" spirit of the test associations. Perhups you, or at least your boy, looks on milking as drudgery. Remember that drudgery is "labor without thought." increase the interest of your boys in the cows and the drudgery will disappear. Divide the cows up between the boys or the hired men and offer a prize to the one that gets the most butterfat dining the year. Take your boys into partnership and offer them a share of the profits. Make them feel that, they are a part of the business and they will milk the cows drier, feed them better and pound them less. This sort of plan can be accomplished through the test association. It' you wish to organize such an association write to the Extension Department. I. S. C., Ames, lowa.—low.i Agriculturist. BOARD PROCEEDINGS lane Session, 1911? Auditor's Office.

Greeting to the Teachers Of Audubon County On tlie litt.li day of next .Tune the teachers of Audubon County will again assemble in the capacity of a Normal Institute. Object Of Normal Institutes HI The importance of the Normal Institute as a part of our school system cannot easily be overestimated. To many teachers it is the only school in which they can pet any training in the best means of discipline and the most approved methods of instruction. To many others it is the only place in which they can go annually for new draughts of inspiration and enthusiasm to refresh themselves for another year's work. The most important thing to be done in an institute is not to impart information that will assist in securing a certificate nor alone to drill in the latest and best methods of teaching, but to inspire the lifeless, strengthen the weak, encourage the discouraged, and elevate the teacher's a a Institute Attendance The intent of the new law seems to be that all teachers shall attend the Institute, and to enforce this provision the County Superintendent is required to furnish to the State Superintendent the names of all persons who attend together with a statement of the number of day's attendance. We would say to a few teachers of the County that it will be impossible for you to receive renewal of certificate unless you are extremely cautious in the future of your attendance and professional reading. We have certainly been lenient, but we cannot bring ourselves to certify to a false statement in your behalf. Don't disregard the old saying "A word to the wise is sufficient." Even the scarcity of teachers will not "save the day." We hope to see you in attendance. It will help you, it will help us. You nfeed us, we need you. Arrangement Of Institute Work Institute proper will begin Monday, June 19th and continue until Saturday afternoon. Monday and Tuesday of the second week will be devoted entirely to review preparatory to examination. This is a special arrangement for those taking the examination. Enrollment Enrollment will begin Saturday, June 17th at Co. Superintendent's office. Those entering later will enroll Monday, June 19th at 4 p. m. at High School building. Should you arrive at the building during the day of June 19th, find a program and enter any class you wish. Institute Faculty We believe we are prepared to give as good an institute as has ever been held in the County. Our faculty is composed of people of experience who are adapted to their line of work and who are capable of making the session profitable to us, and through us to the schools of the County, if we do our part. Lectures Provisions have been made for several lectures. Subjects will be an nounced later. Some of these lectures will be illustrated. .- Rural Graduates tad School Director's Day. The graduating exercises for Eighth Grade pupils will be held Saturday June 24th. We shall be pleased to see all the graduates present with their parents and friends. Colors for the Class of 1911 are White and Pale-blue. We also call this Director's Day. The program will be arranged with that in view. This is a busy time for farmers but we hope to have as many School officers with us on that day as can conveniently come. Special Work Prof. Conger's illustrated lectures on Physiography as a background of American history will undoubtedly prove an inspiration to teachers and give them a new point of view in the teaching of Geography. Miss McClure will give some very valuable work for the teacher in water-color work. Children naturally delight in the use of pencil and paintbrush and do not hesitate to draw anything from a locomotive to a scene in fairy-land. When Admitted Under Age To Examination. Candidates who are under age will receive no report of the examination, nor will their answer papers be returned. Should one under age be admitted to any examination, the fee collected from such a candidate should be refunded.

Special Instructor On The AldineSystem Of Primary Reading For some time we have been trying* to decide upon some way of improving: the reading of pupils in the Bural Schools. Reading is the Key to allt other studies, therefore we must consider it first in importance. After considerable thought along this line-'. we have decided to adopt this system-. believing it to be the most feasible for the use of rural teachers. It is es-V pecially necessary for some system like this in a country where there are so many children who must learn thelanguage at the same time Jthey arelearning to read. This system properly taught will be a great aid to those children. If teachers are "really interested in their pupil's progress they will hail1 this as an opportunity for them as teachers to get out of an old rut and* give to theirpupilssome live material. We want to see our teachers receive a living wage but we want them to give back to the patrons of the schools, value received. We want good reading, good writing, good spelling. Rural Pupil's Examination A Special will be held for those who. did not take Music and Civics but passed in previous examination in other branches on Friday June 30th.

"CAP" ANSON'S FORTY YEARS IN BASEBALL Dedicated to all my old comrade* and lovera of the iport, who have made the same what it gilUflifHlffliUfWUflffW'WW'J NEW. GARAGEI As a starter the Chicago management signed the big four who had iinade It possible for the Boston club to win the pennant so many times in jauccession—Cal McVey, first base 'James White, catcher Ross Barnes, second base, and Albert G. Spalding, pitcher. It was a coup that fairly took the breath of the sporting fraternity all over the country. Nothing so enterprising in the way of baseball tactlcs had ever before been pulled off in America. When Spalding landed In Chicago about the first thing he did was to propose to the Chicago management 'to send for me. He told the Chicago folks that the new organisation was looking only in one point—that with A. 0. Anson to play thlife base they |Bight expect to float the pennant ifrom their clubhouse. So It eeemed that the good impression I had made :eo A1 at oar first meeting In Marshalltown had been confirmby subsequent records, I rather think it had jmyBelf. Not at all discouraged by my unI willingness to make a change, Wll|liam A.

At our first meeting I was [meat favorably Impressed by Mr. Hulbert, although 1 learned afterward that he didn't take a violent fancy to me.

CHAPTER X. h*: I Sign With Chloago. In the fall of 1875, juet before the National league came Into existence, I received an offer to Blgn a contract with the Chicago club. Four years earlier I would have jumped at the .ohfcnce, but now that I had the prom1m of a Philadelphia girl to become Mrs. Adrian C. Anson as soon as ,fr»rythlng could be arranged satla!4ustorlly, the Quaker burg seemed food enough for me. So I didn't even 'nibble at the Windy City bait, but went right along with my self-appoints ed job of getting the Athletics to do better team work. The Chicago folks were In dead earnest, and my fondness f»r Philadelphia and a portion of Its contents cut no figure In their calculations. For one thing, they had made up their minds to organize a championship team before the opening of the seaeon of 1876. They had got weary of seeing Boston walk off with the honors and were lying awake nights to 'invent some scheme to circumvent the bean eaters, and were willing to part with a lot of rhino if it could be done. the start that he was aTmsiness man and would tolerate no foolishness. After we were better acquainted I found that he was big hearted and convivial after business was over, and that he was the soul of honor and wouldn't stand for crookedness in any form. I want to say, too, that as an executive he had few equals and no superiors. He was mighty quick te get on to a situation, and when he had made up his mind to act it took a whole lot to prevent him. At that visit I was so moved by Spalding's entreaties and Mr. Hulbert's arguments that I agreed to play with the Chicago team at a salary of IB ,000, an advance of $200 over what I was getting with the Athletics. 1 hardly know how I happened to sign the contract without consulting the little woman who was about to go into partnership with me but when I told her what I had done I realized that I had made the blunder of my life. She simply stood up very straight In her small shoes and declared that it shouldn't be. Of course I wilted and promised to reoall my hasty agreement I had an idea that it would be a comparatively easy job to get my release from Chicago and I was willing to do almost anything to fix it up with my sweetheart. When 1 tried It out I discovered that I had never been more mistaken in my life. In answer to the letter 1 wrote to Mr. Hulbert asking him to release me I received an answer which made not the slightest mention of my request—It was only a curt order lo report In Chicago on April 1. I made two trip3 to Chicago that winter in my attempt to beg oft from Mr. Hulbert, but all in vain. The more I uVged and threatened the more determined he got, and when, finally, 1 made an offer of $1,000 to obtain my release he all but ordered me out of hie office. I was so huffy over my failure that I went away vowing that I would break the contraot anyhow. 1 don't remember that I had the slightest idea of doing as I threatened, but I was made enough to eay anything. Nothing further passed between us until April 1. On that day I walked into Mr. Hulbert's office and greeted him as cheerfully as if nothing had ever happened. It was a cool, windy day and I was wearing a big striped Pircw A COUPLE It) ME., AL, JUST FOR. FUAi. ulster and carried a grip large enough to hold my entire wardrobe. "I thought you weren't going to show up," saM Mr. Hulbert, looking mighty severe. "I've come to get that release," I Bald confidently. "You've come to the wrong shop. You won't get It," ho declared. "How about that thousand plunks?" I asked. "Not for a hundred thousand," he retorted promptly. "All right," I said, moving off. "1 won't play with your team anyhow." An hour later 1 stood on the opposite side of the street and saw Mr. Hulbert leaving his office for luncheon. "Goodby, old man! I'm off for Philamardinck!" I yelled across at him. "Go and be d—d!" returned the president, with a scowl that made me shiver in my big ulster. "Do I get that release T" I piped. He didn't even deign to reply, but passed on rapidly without further notice of me. "I didn't go to the railroad station just then, however. Later in the afternoon I strolled out to the ball grounds just to have a look at the boys, who were having their first practice under their new captain, A1 Spalding, Alwas pitching to the men in turns, while the rest alternated In the field, and everybody was doing a lot of talking. About F01EYJ KIDNEY PILLS VOII BAOKAOHK KlONCYS AND BLAODBIt tne nrst man struck as I entered the grounds was Mr. Hulbert "I thought you were on your way to Philadelphia," he observed grimly when his eyes fell on me and my ulster. Mr. Hulbert said no more and I soon became so interested in the practice that I forgot all about him. Spalding was sending them so nattily that I was seized with a terrible Itch to get hold of a bat. It seemed to me that I'd Just have to have a hand in the business in spite of myself. Finally I picked up a bat and, Btepplng up to the plate, called out to Spalding: "Pitch a couple to me, Al, just for fun I" "Not until you get out of that big ulster and take your place with the other men of my team," said the captain, stiffly. I vated to do It. I even threw down the bat and pretended to be going. I knew I was beaten, and it was like pulling teeth to give in. However, there didn't seem to be anything else to do, BO I threw off my overcoat, picked up the bat, took my position at the plate and shouted out: "All right, sonny! Now let her go!" And I want to remark right here that she did go—precisely where nobody knew at last accounts. CHAPTER XI. I Help Win Ihe Pennant. Neither the president nor the captain of the Chlcagos had worried a little bit over my threat to break my oontraot. Spalding certainly knew me well enough to recognize my Wg bluS as the final kick of a man who wouldn't go back on his word no matter what his personal likes and dislikes might be. When it came to the scratch there was nothing to do but fix It up the best I oould with the prospective Mrs. Anson and turn my face toward the setting sun. So I submitted meekly, put en the Chicago uniform and started In to do my best to help win the coveted penpennant for the Lake Michigan metropolis. During the winter of 187676 the National league was formed. Morgan G. Bulkeley of Hartford, Conn., afterward governor and now United States senator from that state, was its first president and filled the position one season, being succeeded by Mr. Hulbert. The eight clubs that wet-© members of the new league were the Athletics of Philadelphia, the Bostons, the Hartfords, the Chlcagos, the St. Louis, the Louisville, the Mutuals of New York and the Clncinnatis. By the constitution of the new league no city of less than 75,000 inhabitants could become a member, and no city could be represented by more than one club. If that had been the rule when I was with the Athletics we would have been spared the humiliating experience with the Philadelphlas—beaten by our own townsmen! Another reform brought about by the league was the adoption of a player's contract. With that In force the Chlcagos could not have taken the "big four" away from Boston. The new rules also provided for the expulsion of members guilty of breaking their contracts or for dishonesty, and for a penalty such men were debarred forever from playing in league clubs. Gambling and liquor selling on club grounds were prohibited and any player interested In a bet on the result of a game was liable to get the grand bounce. I guess I could remember the makeup of the Chicago team in the first season of the National league without consulting my diary, but to make sure I see that It was as follows: A. G. Spalding, pitcher, captain and manager James White, catcher A. C. Anson, third base Ross Barnes, second base Cal McVey, flret base J. P. Peters, shortstop J. W. Glenn, left field Paul A. Hlnes, center field Robert Addy, right field. As I have said already, four of these were coaxed away from the pennant-winning Bostons and a fifth—who was myself—was snatched bodily from the Philadelphia Athletics. For five men who had been treated in such a highhanded manner, I want to remark, we were a tolerably cheerful bunch of ball merchants. Just at first the Boston folks were so crushed by their loss that they hardly knew which way to turn. The blow was a tough one, but the management gathered up the fragments and went to make their organization as formidable as possible. From that time on Boston's sole ambition was to beat Chicago, but it so happened that we bested them in nine straight games before they got their hearts' desire. I shall never forget the first game we played on the Boston grounds that season. It was Memorial day and a record crowd turned out to witness the event. Long before the hour named to call the game the lnclosure was packed too full for comfort, and a vast crowd of disappointed fans, some of them from long distances, was making a big hullabaloo outside. On account of the holiday no one was working and apparently everybody was wild to see the "Stolen Big Four" in their new uniforms. The mob was so dense That at one time It looked as though there would not be room enough In the grounds to play the game. When the gates were closed the orowd swarmed over the fences and the force of special policemen had more than It could do to preserve order. I wish you could have seen and heard the ovation the "Big Four" received when they put In an appearanoe. The orowd was so tickled to Bee the old favorites that the fact that the players were now members of a hostile team was lost eight of for the time being. The game that followed was played under considerable difficulty, bnt It was one of the most enjoyable I erar took part in. Han-r Wright, the Boston manager, made a heroic attempt to run up a score, but Spalding's excellent pitching made It Impossible for the Beaneaters to win. As a result, we beat them, and this made them sorer than ever over the purloining of the "Big Four." I don't remember that I did anything sensational on that occasion. If I did it failed to get Into my diary. On September 23 we met Boston for the tenth and last time that sea/, eon. We were mighty anxiouB to make our account against the club ten straight viotorles, but we were doomed to disappointment. I suppose that our nine previous Bucoesses had made us over-confident, or perhaps it was our anxiety that made us shaky, for we failed to win, being beaten by a score of 10 to 9. But, say, it was worth being licked that day to see how happy it made Harry Wright to save just one little game out of the ten we had pulled oft. He was so tickled that he had at last downed his hated rivals in a single game that he positively hugged O'Rourke. when he orossed the home plate and soored the winning run. I've got to tell you, though, that 1S76 was a mighty poor season for the business end of the game. Although we carried off the champion- ME POSITIVELY KUGGEP O'fcOURKE. ship, we quit loser, and not a single club in the new league made a cent. That first year of the league was far from being a financial Buccess. Some of the clubs got into serious trouble. My old friends, the Athletics, and tha New York Mutuals failed to play out their scheduled games In the west that year, and at the next annual meeting of the league—held in Cleveland the following December—they were expelled. That left only six clubs to enter the arena for championship honors in 1877. The men who oi ganlzed the league must have felt a little shaky as to the outcome of their experiment, but there wasn't anything that could chill the pedal extremities of ^William a. Hulbert when once he had undertaken to see a thing through. The organization of the league had been a hobby with him for years, and he declared that the new venture was going even better than he had expected. I am glad that he lived to see his scheme in successful operation. That fall I signed again with tha White Stockings, as did Spalding, Mo Vey, Barnes, Peters, Andrus and Glenn of the old team. Jim White repented of his desertion of the Hub and went back to his first love. Our newcomers were Bradley, who had done soma wonderful pitching for the St. Louis club that season, and H. W. Smith, a promising catcher and outfielder. Then, after I had completed my business arrangements for the next season, I returned to Philadelphia and put the finishing touoh to the most important and profitable transaction in which I have ever taken part. I don't mind telling you, though, that whea I faced the dominie on that occasion I was more rattled than ever I have been when, bat In hand, I have stood before the most puzzling twirler in the league. We went out to Marshalltown on our wedding journey, putting up for a few days at the Anson house, whose proprietor was tickled to death to see us. It was our first meeting since I had become a full-fledged professional ball player, and the old gentleman had entirely recovered from his attack of spleen due to my refusal to become a scholar. As for his new daughter-ln law—well, I don't mind telling you that she made a big hit right at tha start. (To be Continued.) Sam Dutler's lost a tine horse last week.

I •*,/- $1,000 PROFIT FROM 66 ACRES IN A YEAR Successful Intensive Farming in Wright County Three-Year Rotation Practiced With Corn, Oats and Clover as Crops—Only Best Saved for Reproduction. Brood Mares Helped to Swell the Profit From the 66 Acres. France Warner of Wright county, Iowa, clears $1,000 a year from his 66acre farm. This would not be hard if it were a truck or dairy farm near some big city, where the produce could be sold for special prices but his is simply a general farm farmed on the intensive order. The farm consists of 45 acres of roling farm land, with the remaining 21 acres a flat river bottom with enough of a rise at one place for the farmstead. The 45 acres are used for crops on which a three-year rotation is practiced, the crops being corn, oats, and clover in the order mentioned. Every fall the stubble ground and new clover is covered with a coating of manure. This helps to protect the clover during the winter and at the same time gets the use of the manure on the clover ground and the corn. By doing this there is but very little extra fertility 6aved over for the oat crop, and therefore it does not lodge under ordinary climatic conditions. Of course, with as small a place as that everything receives the very best of care, both in the Held and in the stable. Only the very best is saved for reproduction. The crops that his three 15-acre fields produce on the average are: Fifteen acres corn at 70 bushels equals 1,050 bushes. Fifteen acres oats at 60 bushels equals 900 bushels. Fifteen acres clover equals 40 to 45 tons, according to stand and weather. This is utilized right on the farm every year and again returned to the field and soil in the form of manure. It is from his stock that he receives his income. Four mares are kept on the place, three heavy draft mares and a lighter one for driving purposes. The light one is heavy enough so that she can work part of the time when four are needed for putting in the crops in the spring, or for the plowing in the fall. All four of these mares are bred every spring. From them he figures on raising three colts. These colts he generally keeps until they are two years old, at which time he can sell them readily for $150 apiece, ot $450 for the three. He keeps ten cows of the milking strain of shorthorns. By selection, weeding and feeding he has brought them to the point CULTURE OF ROOT CROPS May Be Grown Successfully on Either Light or Heavy Soil—Best on Loam Soils. The growing of root crops deserves more attention by farmers who do not have silos in which to store succulent feed for their stock. Roots of various kinds have always been held in high esteem by farmers and stockmen. In England and other European countries, they are generally raised for feeding to all classes of live stock, where, owing to the cool summers, corn does not do well. Roots are depended upon to supply succulent feed for the winter months. To quite an extent the same is true of Canada. One pound of dry matter in mangels has been found to be equivalent in feeding value to on' pound of dry matter in mill feeds, and a little more than one pound of dry matter in corn silage. Tests have shown that mangels may profitably replace onehalf of the grain ration under conditions where the roots can be produced for $4 per ton. In those experiments the roots were fed to dairy animals. In many sections, the silo has not yet come into general use. On such farms root crops are of double value, for they may be used to supply succulence as well as feeding value. In fact where winter dairying is practiced they become almost indispensable for best results. Aside from the value for feeding purposes, there are other good reasons for raising root crops. With good care and preparation of the soil a large amount of feeding material can be grown upon an acre. Twenty tons per acre is not an uncommonly large yield, under good conditions of soil and weather yields of over twice that amount have been reported. For such enormous yields It is necessary to have a rich KOII. I Another advantage is that grain crops of all kinds do well after roots, for the latter not only necessitate clean cultivation, but open up the soil by means of their long roots. Cultivated crops should come regularly in where they are producers above the ordinary, and he figures on them making him, on the average, $40 apiece. From his cows, then, he receives $400. His ten Duroc Jerseys are kept in good shape on his large amount ot skim milk, and they have on an average six pigs apiece. These 60 pigs he keeps until they will bring him $10 on the average, or $600 In all. This year he has been making a little better than that all around, but the above figures are those by him as his standard from year to year. The above figures total as follows: Four brood mares, three colts, equal $ 450 Ten cows and their calves equal 400 Ten sows, 60 pigs, equal 600 Total $1,450 Besides the above he sells chicken produce, garden truck and seed corn •enough to meet the running expenses of the family, which consist of a mother, a wife and himself. The $450 that he makes above the thousand he figures for incidentals, repairs and a little extra feed for his stock in the form of concentrates. His labor problem for extra help during harvesting and haying is usually solved by exchanging work with us, so that he is not out any cash, but simply a little labor. His pasture also deserves special mention. As I stated at the beginning, it is a bottom flat and starts very early in the spring. Early in the spring it is disked where it appears soddy and is seeded on the barren spots. The entire lot is covered with a light coating of manure and the way it responds is amazing. However, there are years when during the latter part of July it gets a little dry and barren. At this time he feeds a little extra by cutting some rape from his hog lot which is, as a rule, quite heavy at this time, and quite frequently gets too coarse and heavy for the pigs to handle. This is done only for a short time until he gets his grain stacked and the new clover comes on. This year he is going to solve the problem by putting up a silo. By this method he will have a supply for the summer and at the same time have better winter feed for his stock, in the form of succulence. the rotation, and roots should be Included in the list of such crops on all stock farms. Root crops are valuable for stock feeding, both for their content of digestible nutriments and in supplying succulent feed for the winter months. This is true In all parts of the country, but more especially in the states where winters are long and severe. Under good conditions a large amount of feed per acre can be grown from roots, and for this reason they are useful on small farms where the amount of land under cultivation is small. Roots do best on loam soils, but may be &rown successfully on either light or heavy soil, providing the ground is properly fertilized and prepared. Tljorough preparation of the soil and an abundant supply of available plant food are necessary for good returns. Mangels give the heaviest yield per acre, with rutabagas and turnips a close second, and carrots third. Turnips and rutabagas do not keep so well as some other roots. They should be fed in the fall and early winter in the order named. Mangels and carrots keep well over winter when properly stored. Roots may be planted In :ows 18 to 24 inches apart when cultivated with hand machines, but at no less than 30 inches when a horse cultivator is to be used. Seed should be used liberally In order to insure a good stand. Thinning should be attended to promptly, leaving single plants from 8 to 12 Inches apart, depending on distance between rows and kind of roots grown. Thorough, yet shallow cultivation should be practiced throughout the growing season. Ridging at planting time is helpful on wet or heavy soils. Root crops will stand light frosts, but they should be harvested before heavy freezes. This applies especially to mangels. Roots may be stored in a pit, cellar, or root house. Roots can probably be grown for less than $2 per ton under good conditions. The cost of production per acre is approximately $35 per acre. I &msza a W" V. MISJUDGED. "Myrtle," said her father, "I want you to send that young Smitherton about his business. I won't have him coming around here any more. I don't like him." "Why, father, I can't see what you can have against him. He is awfully nice, comes from a very fine family, doesn't use tobacco and he never touches a drop of any kind of liquor." "That's all right. I don't like him. He hasn't any sense of humor, and I don't believe a man who lacks the sense of humor can ever amount to much." "But he haB a sense of humor.

"My son," said the doting parent, "it is your duty to tell the girl you hope to marry all about yourself—all your faults and weaknesses. That's the true test of love." "I did," replied the hopeful. "It wasn't much." "What did you tell her?" "Why, you see, dad, she didn't really know who you were. So I told her." "Eh! And what did she say?" "She's an awfully nice girl, dad, and she said she'd tried hard to Reconcile herself to the unpleasant truth." Truly Regrettable. "A celebrated dancer, you say?" "One of the best known In Europe." "She has youth and beauty, I presume?" "Both." "And yet seems to think her career a failure?" "Yes. You see, for some reason or other, she has never been able to hypnotize a male member of a royal family." A Literal View.
