An early frost was net or kuowu to
prove any serious backset to a crop of
Wild oatB nor heat nor drought. It is
tho only sowing that Is dead sure to
brln.E a good crop to maturity.
An excellent ration for the ducklings
consists of one-half cornmeal and one
half bran, with a little sand added.
They should also have fresh water,
and if milk can bo had It Is good for
them
For a quick growing vine to cocr
unsightly places there is nothing bet
ter than tho wild cucumner. The lit
tle plants may be got in the woods, and
if taken up with considerable rt!i
they will stand transplanting nlcdy.
Some idea can be gained of the Im
mense proportions of tho canning busi
ness of tho country from tho reports ou
last year's output, which tshow that
72O.0OO.WO cans of tomatoes, sweet
corn and peas were filled and consum
ed In the United States.
The young growing things-und these
Include pigs, lambs, calves and chicks
should be furnished, In addition to
tho ration suited to their several needs,
nil tho fresh water they will drink. Not
only tho best health, but most rapid
growth, depends upon this condition.
A few weeks ngo eight carloads of
potatoes from Scotland were received
on tho Chicago market and brought at
wholesale $1.10 per bushel. Only once
or twice beforo havo foreign potatoes
been shipped to Chicago, ulthough
they are quite frequently shipped to
Now York to supply tho local und ad
jacent markets.
Fruit tree agents in different parts of
tho country seem to mako easy money
periodically by selling calomel on the
claim that, if Injected beneath tho
bark on tho trunk of apple trees, it
will kill borers and other Insects. This
is bosh puro and slmplo nnd would
havo.po more effect on tho borers thnn

The future would seem to have
mighty little in store for the young fel
low living in town or country who at
tho age of twenty years is still spong
ing off tho "old man" and not doing
enough work nbout homo or anywhere
else to pay for his board and the
clothes lie wears. Unless fellows of
this typo take a radical turn for tin
better they will live nnd die scratching
a poor man's head.
The crop of field beans will bo much
freer from damago by tho weevil If
the planting is delayed until after the
1st of June. Tho growing of beans on
land that has been producing heavy
crops of other stuff Is to be commend
ed, for It not only makes posslole the
destruction of all weeds, that germinate
beforo tho beans are planted, but the
beans, being a legume, onrlch the soil
Instead of impoverishing It.
Crop rotation has oven more to com
mend It from tho standpoint of good to
tho irop than rest nnd change for the
soil. Many of tho fungous pests which
affect plant life. Including tho several
types of rust, smut and scab, arc quite
effectually kept In check by putting a
different crop on tho land year after
year. If this slmplo fact were kept
more often In mind It would save both
loss and disappointment.
Judged on the basis of crop produc
tion, it is questionable If there is any
section of tho country that Is moro fer
tile than tho celebrated Imperial valley
In southern California, Authentic re
ports tell of nlno cuttings of alfalfa In
a single season, averaging thirteen tons
to tho ncro. Ono alfalfa ranch of thirty
flvo acres is cited (on which wero kept
thiay-fivo dairy cows) which produced
135 tons of hay and during tho sum
mer furnished pasturo for 200 hog?.
A naner products comnanv of St.
Louis has lately nut on tho mnrkcr. n
corrugated paper.packago for tho w
ketlng of apples that bids fair to ue
como popular as tho trade In fancy
apples Is further developed. The
boxes are nmdo to hold ono lmlf perk,
onu peck, n half bushel nnd a bushi-l.
Not only do these boxes make It po
slble to display npplos to odvantngc
but tho packing of them In the smaller
iKixes would seem likely to lncreisp
the consumption.
It is a fair guess that tho corn belt
'farmer who this year had to pay from
S to $( a bushel for tip and butt seed
corn which in ordinary seasons Is fed
to the pigs will select his Feed ears
next September nnd get them thor
oughly dried out before nny freezing
weather conies. If this were done nud
the seed ears were kept absolutely dry
during the winter season there would
bo no need whatever for testing the
seed next spring. It Is because farm
ers gamble with the picking of their
seed com by selecting It at husking
time that they have ns much trouble
as they do.
For four or five dollars the farmer
who milks cows can provide himself
with n Bnbcock tester, which will tell
exactly how much butter fat there I?
In the milk of each cow in his herd,
'fids data, which can bo got at easily,
coupled with n record showing the
number of pounds of milk each cow
gives during the year, will make 11
possible to figure out jut what hei
milk or cream Is worth. Against thl
should lie charged the cost of her feed
bill for the year. If her yield of butter
fat production does not exceed by $2(1
or more the cost of her food It is :i
fair conclusion that she is n prett
punk proposition nnd should be sent
to the stockyards ns soon ns possible.
Honey Producers, Attention!
Now Is the time when colonies should
be given n hasty examination to de
termine which have died and which
need feeding, nnd mnny colonies that
would otherwise die can be saved if at
tended to In time.
No colony should be examined or Its
blvo opened unless the day Is clear and
reasonably wnrm nnd should not be
left open for n longt-r period than Is
absolutely necessary, and in closing the
hive great core should be exercised in
replacing the packing that constituted
tho winter protection.
Whore colonies havo died the hives
with their combs should be taken into
the house,, and later on these bodies
and coinbs can be used as extracting
combs with colonies that have win
tercd well, or they can be used foi
mnklng increase, as the bees will soon
free them of dead bees and other ref
use nnd niako them all right again.

O'BRIEN'S COSTLY BALK.

Buck O'Brien, tho Kcd Sox sensation
from whom so much is expected this
year, was. In ono of the recent Boston
New York games, tho victim of the
strangest balk seen in professional
baseball for some years.
In the third inning, after Hartzell
had got to first on an error, O'Brien
wound up, and Hartzell prepared to
steal. O'Brien made ready to throw
tho "spltter." Just as ho let tho ball gi
Ilartzell started. Tho ball rolled from
tho pitcher's hands and fell at his feet
while ITnrtzoll continued on nnd made

Sir HufuB Isaacs, tho Attornoy

ho had been anxious to find, If pos
sible, an excuse for tho Inaction of
Captain Lord of tho Callfornlnn; but
ho had rogrotfully como to tho con-'
elusion that there wns no excuse for
him. Tho court, he said, must find
Captain Lord's evidence unsatisfac
tory. Lord Mersey suggested that if
Captain Lord saw the signals of dis
torts nnd did not go to tho relief ho
was possibly guilty of misdemeanor.
Sir Unfits Isaacs assorted that un
necessary risks had been taken by
the Titanic and that tho causes of
the disaster were a bad lookout and
excessive speed.
