The most troublesome Item In busi ness, says a writer in the World's Work,' is the regulation of the selling expense. For an Illustration, an ar ticle sells at $300. As a rule. $100 of that represents the manufacturing cost; $100 goes for profits and account ing; and the remaining $100 Is ab sorbed in the expense of selling. The author takes the ground that the $200 devoted to materia! labor, profits and accounting Is in the nature of a fixed charge, while the $100 spent for selling is In the nature of a psychological impulse. Thnt Is to eay, It is of a highly notional charac ter, and Is constantly threatening the other two-thirds of outlay. Here the writer makes a most in teresting statement. He fays one can buy an article manufactured in the United States cheaper In Argen tine than he can In New York City. This Is because the expense of selling Is so much greater In New York. There, office rent, sa'.srleB. advertis ing, assistants, etc., are added to the manufacturer's expenses, and these Items are so much greater there than In Argentine, So the regulating of the selling ex pense is today the greatest problem In trade.

A pleasant tale is now being told of the British king and his tactful grace in administering a rebuke, Not long ago he attended a garden fete at a house more remarkable for ' Its lavish hospitality than for its ob servance of British social traditions; and among the guests, to his sur prise, he encountered Poole, the fa mous tailor.

Such are not only needed on the farms, but It is as easy to raise a good horse which will sell at a long price as It is to raise a scrub for which there Is no market. The demand for heavy horses was never better than at present, and It is likely to Increase rather than to decrease. The population Is centralizing in large cities. These naturally become the great distributing centres, and with Increase in distribution comes in crease tn the demand for heavy dray horses so extensively used In such dis tribution. This means, therefore, that the breeding of such horses is an entirely safe venture on the part of those who will take it up on intelli gent lines. Those who engage in it need not be harassed by fear that they are putting their money into a plant that will soon become useless because of depreciation in the price of horses. The great mistake In rearing horses for dray uses lies in the fact that they are too lacking in weight. Any number of horses can be bred which weigh between 1300 and 1400 pounds. The number U not large that weigh more than 1500 pounds, and yet it is the latter class that it most wanted. Farmer's Ad vocate. Fertiliser For Corn. As I am a reader of your valuable paper and seeing an item of great importance to the farmer in regard to fertiliirfng of corn, will say, on ac count of not getting a stand of clo ver ttw years ago 1 purchased an attachment for my planter for the purpose of using commercial ferti lizer and applied in the hill about eighty-five pounds to the acre, and so well pleased with the result that I will try it again this season. - My farm is of a clay timber land and considered rather poor land. I have been raising from forty to fifty bush els per acre for the past six years on clover sod, but last year with the addition of fertilizer I raised better than sixty bushels per acre of good corn. Now there is a difference in the quality of fertilizer, I prefer the best, as it is the cheapest in the end. Of course, it costs more per ton, but we get less ground stone in the bet tor quality. Some will tell you if you commence using it you have to keep it up. Now that is all bosh. Of course, a farmer should raise clo ver by all means. Clover seed will never be so high but what it will pay to sow it. I paid $25 per ton for my fertilizer. W. H. Wilson, In the Indiana Farmer. How to Test the Acidity of Soils. Supposed corrective treatments are often given to soils supposed to be acid, when as a matter of fact an opposite treatment may be re quired. A recipe given by the De partment of Agriculture for deter mining soil acidity is as follows. Boll for a half hour a sample of the soil to be tested In a small quan tity of water, say a quart. Allow It to settle, and when perfectly clear, pour off the water into a white dish and test it with both blue and red litmus paper. These papers can be procured from any drug store for a few cents. If the soil is acid, the blue litmus paper will turn red. If It Is alkaline, the red litmus paper will turn blue. Ten minutes should be allowed in tha water for the lit mus paper to change color. If at the end of that time there Is no change, then the, soil is neutral neither acid nor alkaline. It should be understood that such a test as this Is not a determination of whether or not a soil needs lime. The question of liming of soil is still a mooted subject. Much evidence has been presented to prove that lim ing of soil has been most beneficial when the soil was in no sense . -ur. If, however, the soil does show strong acidity by the, litmus or other posi tive testB, it is safe to say that liming will, be beneficial. Saccharine Feeds the Latest. The history of the manufactured and balanced saccharine feed is a ahort one. The man who left the farm ten years ago and plunged into other lines, forgetting his former oc cupation, smiles with incredulity when be picks up a farm or feed Journal and sees "Molasses Feeds" advertised and discussed But the np-to-date farmer, ualryman and feeder already understand the value of molasses or saccharine feeds. Tha overwhelming demand for such feeds prove this. But the very fact that this demand Is so great has produced conditions In the manufacture of saccharine feeds of which feeders should be in formed and of which they should make a note. Demand will induce a supply of some kind, and where the demand in creases rapidly, the supply is, very liable to be Inferior to what It would be were the demand limited to sell strictly on superior merit. This rapidly growing demand for saccharine feeds has induced scores of manufacturers to place such feeds on the market under various names, and with almost as various Ingre dients. Analyses of many of these feeds reveal the fact that they con tain a large amount of Indigestible matter that Is not even legitimate or healthy roughage; In fact, much of it is absolutely Injurious to the stock. Oat hulls, rice hulls, weed seeds and other matter of neutral or harmful character have been found in large proportions by the experimental de partments of animal industry in the various States. Epltomist, Money in Horses. Nor were the Morgan horses the only noted horses In New England. The farmers Of Maine were sufficient ly adventurous and enterprising to secure in earliest times a son of the renowned Imported Messenger, who elevated the horse stock of the State to a higher level, and left his mark that is clearly In evidence vo-day, al though sadly lowered by indifference and neglect. General Knox was an other New England horse that left his mark and made a fortune for his owner; the first horse in the country fof which the then fabulous amount of $25,000 was offered and refused. Since his time $125,000 has been paid for a single horse by a resident of New England to , a more enter prising farmer and breeder in a West ern State. . A few years back the sale cata logues of an auction firm announcing a sale of valuable blooded Btock, con tained a map showing Boston as a central point, and Including the country within a radius of five hun dred miles. From their many pre vious sales and tabulations they learned, and so published In this cata logue, that seventy-five per cent, ot all the fine horses bought, and the long prices paid for them the kind that sold for one, two, five, ten and fifty thousand and upwards were bought and paid for by residents wlUiln the territory shown. And yet with this great market at their very doors it Is unnecessary to ask how much all this profited the New Eng land farmer. And yet we are told by them that horses cannot be profit ably raised in New England. '.Save the mark! American Cultivator. read. Rot. The peach or plum rot has done 'a great deal ot damage to the fruit crop in Oklahoma. In the summer ot 1906 it was very bad on the en tire crop. In the summer of 1907 it did a great deal ot damage to the early peaches and plums but was not so noticeable on fruit ripening later In the season. This disease is wide spread and very well known. It ts known by several names as: ripe :ot of stone fruits, brown rot of peach and plum, fruit rot, and twig blight. The disease attacks the twigs early In the growing season and causes them to turn dark and shrivel. The leaves also turn dark and wilt. Later In the season, the fungus attacks the fruit. The twigs have not suffered to any considerable extent in Okla homa from the presence of this dis ease. - It appears shortly before the fruit ts ripe and attacks the fruit at this time. The spores of the dis ease find lodgment on the surface and during moist, warm weather the spores germinate rapidly and the fun gus then makes its entrance Into the fruit and develops rapidly. Soon after the lungus makes Its entrance into the fruit small, brown circular spots appear on the surface. These brown spots go deep into the flesh ot the fruit and spread very rapidly over the surface. It the weather is favorable, the entire ' fruit will be discolored in one or two days, the skin ruptured by many small pim ples that throw out large quantities of an ashy gray ot dove-colored pow der that entirely covers the surface. This powder is the spores of the dis ease and is easily spread by the wind to neighboring fruit, and there finds lodgment and in a very few days repeats the entire process ot destruc tion. Warm weather is especially favorable to the development of the disease' and the early soft-fleshed va rieties that mature and ripen during moist warm weather are especially subject to the attacks and are some times very difficult to protect from the disease. Spraying the trees with Bordeaux mixture has been found in several States to be entirely effective in pro tecting the plants from the disease. The trees that have been attacked by the disease should be sprayed before the growth starts In the spring. All the old mummied and rotted fruit that is on the ground under the trees should be gathered and burned. Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Press Bulletin. FEN BILLION OF NEWSPAPERS That Was the Estimated Circulation For the Year 1907. Facts relating to newspapers and newspaper growth are presented in the current Issue of Appleton's Maga zine in an article on "The Newspaper As It Is," written by General Charles H. Taylor, of the Boston Globe. "Statistics of American newspa-' pers, giving the number In each State," says General Taylor, "were first compiled In 1810, when there was a total of 366 papers of all kinds In the country. Of these only 25 were dallies, 36 were seml-weeklles, 15 trl-weeklles and 290 were week lies. Ot the 25 dallies 6 were pub lished In New York, only one of which, the Evening Post, survives under its original title. The latest available figures show that there were In the United States in 1907 a total of 21,535 newspapers, reviews and such, of which 2415 were dailies, 16, 288: weeklies,' 2655 monthlies and 177 quarterlies." Other striking figures are those ot total newspaper circulation. In 1900 this was 8,168,148,749. These fig ures showed an increase over 1890 ot 74.5 per cent., while the Increase be tween 1880 and 1890 was 126.4 per cent. Basing his conclusions upon these figures General Taylor esti mates that the total circulation ot the newspapers of the country in 1907 was not less than ten billion copies, while he places the income from sales and advertising at $200, 000,000. Of the advance of the newspaper as a news conveying agent. General Taylor says that there never was a time when a newspaper reader got so much for his money as now, and he illustrates the point by recalling that In 1851 when America won the cup that has since become so famous, the New York and Boston papers printed only from 250 to 300 words about the event, and this a fortnight after it oc curred, while at the present time the papers tn these cities devote two or three pages to a cup race. Similarly, tn 1861, one telegraph operator sent out all the press mat ter from the convention thnt nomin ated Lincoln, while at the present time a single company will have over 100 operators employed at a national convention. "Our papers are what the people make them," says General Taylor, speaking of the quality of the matter presented. "The public decides what It wishes to read; the editors and publishers, trained tn their business, gather their raw material and work It Into the finished product, nws, to meet the demand. Controllers ot newspapers are often criticised for what they print. : "Journalists have a much heavier responsibility than any other business man. 'The Idle, the self-seeking, the untruthful, the vicious, beguile them at every hand, to use the powerful engine of the press to carry them a little way along their chosen road. The editor must watch unceasingly for these unwelcome passengers and eject them on sight. He appreciates the responsibility of his trust. He reaches his Ideal bb nearly as he can, and does far more for the morals of the community than he Is usually given credit for." IN CITY BACK YARD. Space to Be Utilized For Purpose of Tobacco Growing. A number of large land owners, whose homes are In the city, have planted tobacco beds- In the gardens and back yards of their residences in this city, and will therefore be ready to plant tobacco when the time comes if the State can give them the protection. For obvious reasons the persons who are said to have planted such tobacco beds are anxious that their action shall be kept secret, and, k Is understood, have enjoined upon their friends and other visitors to their bouses not to speak of what they have done, as even with the pro tection of the police force of a large city their premises might not be safe from depredations, and the stock and buildings on their farms in the country' would be open to attack from night riders. Notwithstanding these precautions. It is strongly believed here that such beds have been planted in the city and that the clouds of smoke which have hung over the back premises of a number ot city residences have come from burning brush over tobac co beds and not from the ordinary preparations for planting a garden. On account of cutting out the tobac co crop a large crop of hemp will probably be raised in the blue grass region this year, although on ac count of the scarcity of good seed the crop of hemp will not be so large as It would tf the seed were more plentiful.
