The secret of success In farming is to make each acre of land yield its utmost at the least possible expense. As many as sixty bushels of wheat have been grown on one acre, as an experiment, yet some farmers who secure twenty bushels per acre are satisfied. There is always "room at the top" in farming as in every other occupation. Epltomlst. Clips or Tugs Stay On. Have blacksmith bend flnt piece of Iron ' around slngietree old buggy tire will do.

Hens that acquire the habit ot lay ing soft-Bhell eggs should be watched very carefully in order to break them of it. There are two causes for soft eggs. One is feeding too much stim ulating food; the other, not enough shell-forming material being fur nished. Too much spiced food and meat is generally found to be the chief cause, and if that is cut out, the evil can generally be overcome. If the hens have been overfed they will show it by the lack of eagerness with which they eat new food. After you are satisfied that they have been fed too much, reduce the supply, and add a little epsom salts to their drinking water for about four days. Grit or crushed oyster shells should be fed if want of lime is the trouble. Farm Progress. English Poultry Experiments. The tecond quarterly report of the experiments in the bousing and feed ing of poultry undertaken by the University College, Reading, England, and carried out by the college experi ment station, has just been Issued. The first test made was for the purpose of ascertaining the value of the colony system of housing poultry, which Is largely employed in the United States, while the object of the second was to compare the merits of hopper and ordinary feeding. The experiments are being conducted with pens of White Wyandottes and Buff Orpingtons, and careful observations have been made of the quantity and character ot the food consumed, the cost ot the different systems of feed ing, and the results as shown in egg production and fertility. The conclusions drawn from the experiments go to show that during the three months ending May 31, the ordinary fed birds cost much less for food; that they produced nine eggs more; that the White Wyandottes yielded 107 in excess ot the Buff Orpingtons; that the fertility was greater by 0.6 in the Buff Orping tons; that the hatching percentage was greater by 8.81 in the Orping tons than in the Wyandottes; that the fertility of eggs from the hopper-fed birds was greater by 0.29 than where ordinary feeding was employed, and that the percentage of hatching was greater from hopper-fed birds by 0.22. Weekly Witness. Tho Troflt From Hens. Storrs' Agricultural College Is ful filling its proper mission In its ex periments with poultry raising, made for the benefit of the farmers of the State. With White Leghorn hens it has demonstrated that it is possible to make on eggs alone a net profit of about (1.19 per hen per year. With other breeds the profit is less, falling as low as ninety-eight cents per hen in the case ot Rhode Island Reds. - This is only a partially finished ex periment. The profit from poultry is not from the eggs alone, and this Is the least reliable and sometimes the least profitable part ef poultry rais ing. Moreover, the price set for eggs is slightly over twenty-two cents a dozen aurely a conservative price, even for the farmer to receive, as eggs are selling now.- It is probable that the State Agricultural College will continue the experiment to a more illuminating extent. But here is the poultry business figured to a definite basis. One ben will produce so much. It follows, with a certain discount for increased number and increased risk, that so Safety Singletree. many hens will produce so many times that much. Farmers who have tried raising hens with poor success may laugh at this as theory. Perhaps they might do better to examine the Storrs experiment more fully and find out as they can Just why they did not do as well. New Haven Register. Maintaining Fertility. The most important matter in farming is maintaining the fertility of the soil so that there will be no diminution of crops. The neces sary thing in maintaining the fertil ity of the soil, says a writer ot note, and in snpplying the needs of the average worn out soil, is organic mat ter. If the supply of organic matter is maintained, the supply of fertility Is generally maintained. Increasins the supply of organic matter In creases the amount of nitrogen In the soil, because tho supply ot nitrogen comes almost wholly from the amount applied In the organic matter. Then organic matter Is needed to keep the supply of available min eral plant food ample. There is enough potash in the typical soil to grow corn 1000 to 2000 years, yet if the supply of decaying organic matter in the soil Is not maintained we find that In a very few years tho soil will show signs of wearing out. The reason generally lies in the fact that there is not enough decaying humus in the soil to keep the supply of available potash ample, and tho crop suffers for want of tho food when the soil Is really rich in that food. It is in the unavailable state and the crop cannot use It. Nine times in ten when we find a soil that Is said to have worn out, it only needs the increasing o! its supply of organic matter. As soon as the farmer applies a cast of ma nure or grows a crop that has a heavy root system and causes a consider able organic matter to be left in or to fall upon the soil each year, like clover or alfalfa, we find that the fertility of the soli Increases and that it again produces as abundant crops as it ever did before. God made the minerals, and judging from the way He mado all else, He made an abundance of them. Ho expects us to see to It that the supply of organic matter is maintained to meet the needs of our crops. If we do this tho fertility of tho soli will be main tained; if not, it will decrease each year, till it will refuse to produce profitable crops. Colman's Rural World. Hiving a Swarm. When bees get to hanging out on the hive, I raise it from the bottom board one inch, and then it they do not stop raise them higher, explains a bee keeper in Farm and Home. I think that raising them is a very good preventative of swarming. A certain percentage ot colonies will swarm in' spite of anything that may be done. It takes but little to Induce swarming during a good honey harvest. Bees left to themselves will generally send out one swarm in a season, often a second swarm, sometimes a third. In hiving swarms it frequently happens that the bees take wing when dumped In front of their new hive instead of crawling Into It. We have had a few swarms go back and cluster on the same limb after they had been carried to the hive The Swarm Catcher. two or three times. We recently got the thought that a little spray ing would overcome this difficulty. We have tried It on a few swarms with good results. While the cluster is yet hanging on the tree take a small spray pump, or syringe, and wet the cluster ot bees with one or two quarts ot cold water, then take your swarm catcher shown in the cut and turn it up under the cluster and get them into It, They will cling together while you carry them to the hive, and when dumped in front of it they will not readily take wing again, but will run into it. Swarms that have been hived a few hours and seem restless, or cluster mostly on the outside of their hive, can also be made moro tractable by a little spraying. Bees need a great quantity of water dur ing summer, and the beekeeper can supply their needs in a few minutes where it would require hours for the bees to gather it themselves. Put the new hive containing the swarm on the old stand, exactly where the old hive stood and place the old hive close beside the new one. The next morning as the bees go forth from this hive to work, they will nearly all return to the old place and enter the other hive, making that colony very strong, and In condition to store a. great crop. The other colony will be so reduced in num bers that the bees will not be moved to swarm again and will fall in with the first queen that hatches and prob ably give much surplus. It will make ,i good, strong colony by the close of the season. The Chineso bury their dead close to the surface, tuus affording ferti lizer to plants. I Newspaper Loyalty. The other night at a little gather ing of magazine writers the talk centred around Mr. Bryan's charges against the New York newspapers. "I have worked for many news papers," said Robert H.' Davis, cf Munsey'u, "and I never knew one yet that wasn't true to its readers. When I was a cub I worked on the Carson Appeal, out in Nevada. Late one night when we were pulling off the 300 circulation on a Washington hand press a half dressed man with a stubby blnck beard slipped In through the door and asked if we had a suit of clothes we could let a teller have. There were always a lot of old clothes hanging behind the press that anybody was welcome to. We told him to help himself. Pretty soon he was well rigged out. He started to leave, but hesitated, watching the printing. 'What does the paper cost?' he asked. We told him f 8. He dug up the money. "Where should we send it?" 'I'll let you know when I git settled,' he said, 'I'm traveling.' "With that ho went out. In about halt au hour we heard tho clatter of hoofs and tho clanging of weapons, and looking out Into tho moonlight wo recognized the Sheriff and four heavily armed deputies. They came in. Had we seen a half-dressed man with a stubby black beard? We had. Which way did ho go? I started to tell them that he had gone around the corner, through the sldo street, toward the hills. The foreman nudged me to keep quiet. 'I'll at tend to this,' he said. Then he went on to say that the man had gone down the main road to the canyon. They mounted and rode away in tho wrong direction. "Our visitor was Black Bart, the highwayman, who had just escaped from the penitentiary. " 'What did you do that for?' 1 asked the foreman with some indig nation. " 'Groat Jehosephat!' he said, 'you wouldn't go back on a subscriber, would you?' " WORDS QF WISDOM. Occasionally the shoplifter finds It difficult to take things easy. There are many slck-of-home voy agers on the sea of matrimony. Now Is the time to do things; by and by is the time to do nothing. When the wise man gets real angry he goes away back and sits down. Fortunate Is the man who never knows when he gets the worst of it If a girl Is pretty her knowledge of the fact is apt to spoil the effect. When a man talks of himself he is usually more eloquent than interest ing. Unless a man has a good opinion of himself he shouldn't expect others to have. Laughter may be beautiful, but It must be a serious matter to be tickled to death. Some men imagine they are decent because they wear a clean collar every day. His Satanic majesty doesn't worry about the man who is going to reform to-morrow. Why is It that the average chap eron thinks it's up to her to work overtime? Some women are so contrary that they even have confidence in a confi dence man. Adding as a postscript "Burn this letter" is your cue to start the con flagration yourself. - . It U a waste of time to find fault with yourself. Lots of people will gladly do it for you. Once in a great while you meet a married man who actually seems proud of his condition. If a woman's ancosters came over In the Mayflower she never falls to mention it to every one she meets. And tho richer a man Is the easier It is for hlin to lie nbout how much happier he was wheu he didn't have a dollar. It a girl remains single until her Ideal man comes along the chances are that her maiden name will adorn her tombstone. After a girl has hypnotized a young man into buying her a solitaire she begins to wonder what she could have done with other men if it were not too late. From "Pointed Para graphs," in the Chicago News. Must Have Been Tipped Off. There is a certain stately spinster of Richmond who has lived alone for many years In a handsome mansion that Is one ot the city's sights. No childish fingers have ever marred the brilliance ot her mirrors and played havoc with the fine bronzes and vases in the daintily cared for dining-room. On one occasion the spinster had 83 guest a niece, aged seven, in whose home, where many children romped from morning v till night, the same exquisite perfection of housekeeping was, of course, Impossible.

More than half the members of the new Congress have shown their disapproval of tho time honored costume by appearing on the floor of the House In the regulation business suit of tweed. Red and lav ender neckties can poll a larger vote than the somber black string tie, and pld members loyal to the ii-ocr coat tnd it's accessories, are drtscussing with despair tho future of congress ional tan shoes. These sartorial belligerents declare that he revolt against the unwritten law concerning the frock coat habit Is chiefly In the Int-rests of comfort. Whether the regulation statesman's garb would be a matter of pride with them In questioning whether they would appear to Better personal advantage In solemn black or most becoming blue, they insist, Is a mat ter of secondary consideration. Fear expressed by members of the House for tho doim of the frcV'k coat has already disturbed the equa nimity of the Senate by the appear ance of a couple of belligerents In the ranks of this black coated body. Washington Star. A Neighbor of Pad Repute. Tho skunk Is prolmbly as numer ous In most localities as ever It was, since its food resources are Increas ed rather than diminished by rural civilization, while Its natural ene mies are reduced. Of mankind It seems perfectly fearless, and when one Is met on the road (usually to ward evening, when It begins Its nightly wanderings) It keeps steadily on Its course, and the man, If he is wise, does nnt dispute as to right of way. It habitually digs a deep bur row for a homo, but may take pos session of a woodchuck's hole, a cave, hollow stump or stone wall, and of ten seeks a lodging beneath a house or barn, making Its presence known sooner or later during the winter by a stench that compels the landlord to evict the Intruder straightway. Ernest Ingersoll. Explosions In Sewers. City people who are occasionally startled by seeing a manhole cover blown from the pavement generally ascribe the blame to leaking gas matsw. But there are probably many other sources from which dangerous gasses find their way Into sewers, and one of these Is Indicated by an Investigation recently reported to the American Chemical Society by Prof. A. A. flreneman. He showed that tho entrance of n mixture of easrline and soap Into drains nnd sewers from garages, factories, and other places where such materials are employed for washing, Is suffi cient to account for the liberation of much combustible vapor, which mny play a part In sewer explosions.

One or two of the cantons are urg ing the federal government to find resources for reacclimating the wild goat. One or two private efforts have been made, but the animal does not take kindly to them.
