Ask any farmer how much each dol lar ho has received In returns cost him to produce. Ask him whether the expenditure of one dollar in capi tal and labor returned him $1.10 or 90 cents. He can't answer. The debt side of the ledger Is a void so far as he is concerned, and the part played In the production of an acre of corn by such. Items as rent of land, Interest and depreciation of machinery, man labor and horse labor, has never entered In to his calculations. If he should sit down and figure out his business In all the minutiae of detail that Is nec essary for the proper conduct of other business undertakings, mercantile or manufacturing, he might find that he was actually producing crops at a loss. A large percentage of American farm ers, probably the majority of them, actually are producing food-stuns at a loss, on the basis or the science oi modern business The Bookkeeper. Unfailing Nerve.

A German bird fancier has made a series of experiments for tho pur pose of determining the vitality of eggs In different, stages of Incubation. On the fifth day of Incubation fie canary bird's eggs were itaken from the nest, marked with numbira aid replaced In 'the neat, one by one, at half-hour intervals. This cxpetinieni iwaa repeated ten times, wllh us m;tny clutches of eggs. As a rule, says the Scientific American, the first three eggs replaced hatched normally and the two others failed to naien. rleuvre It may be inferred that the average longevity of a canary bird's eggs, taken from the nest on ithe fifth day of Incubation, Is one and ta half hours. In the same way the longevity was found to increase to two or two and a half hours on the Ecventh day, and three and a half to four hours on the ninth day of incubation. It was discovered by Occident I hat eggs In a very advanced stage of inhibi tion can endure very much longer periods of removal from the neat. Two eggs, purchased as plover's eggs. In the course of an excursion, were stowed In a basket, brought home and forgotten. On the evening of the fol lowing day a faint "peep" recalled the exl&tenec of the eggs, and it a-i found that a young snipe had Issue l from one of them. The second snipe Boon made Us appearance, but lived only, an hour. Hence It appears that the vitality of partly hatched egs depends on the size of the bird as well as on the stage of Incubation. How to Breed Corn. The farmer can Improve hl3 corn orop In both quality and quantity In three ways: First, by selecting ears of a proper type of kernel and plant ing them by themselves, from which to select his seed. This requires hut very little time and does away with tfhe necessity of purchasing a seed cor,n grader. Second, if we bave more time, make selections for protein con tent. Third, by planting from Indi vidual ears to prevent Inbreeding. This requires .considerable time, but win amply repay any one who will do it carefully. It consists in plant ing preferably 100 rows from 100 ears, each row from a separate ear. When the tassels are well out and before the pollen has begun to fall, go through the field on horseback and pull out the tassels from every other row. There ere three ways by which corn may be pollenized nameiy, telf polienif.atlon, close pollenization and cross-pollenlzatlon. Self-pnlle.n!za;l; n consists of the pollen of the tastel, which is the mate, tailing upon Its own silk, which la the female part of the plant, both of which are ihe outgrowth of the same kernet, thus producing' direct Inbreeding. Clean polienlzation consists of the pollen of one stalk falling upon the silk of an other stalk, both of which grew frcm the same mother ear. Cross-po; Ioni zation consists of the pollen of one stalk falling upon the silk of another stalk which grew from a separate ear and no relation to it- Tne scei select ed for next year's breeding plant should be taken from the de-tiS3eled lows only. By weighing each row's yield you will be enabled to know which ears have a prepotency to high productiveness, and seed from only such rows should be saved. . Corn planted from such seed will not only produce much higher yield j both In quantity and quality, but owing to Its strengthened constitution from being pure bred will germlnato under se vere adverse conditions when ordi nary corn would fail to germinate. Newark Call. The Amateur and Chickens. The beginner Is slow to believe It but experience will teach her that over-feeding Is the cause of much failure In raising chickens, says the Housekeeper. With chicks it brings en a train of evils that often prove fa tal to he entire flock. A chick's Btomach Is a very smnll affair and its digestive capacity is limited, yet the Inexperienced will stuff the little creature until It becomes a misery, to Itself and perhaps dies. Whole flocks will die from overfeeding and then the unfortunate beginner wfl say, "That Incubator Is no good at all," or it may be, "That chick feed killed all my chicks," wihle the fault was In the lady herseir. Over-feeding and getting chilled are the two worst troubles with the beginner, and It takes her a long time to understand that a little feed six times a day Is fine and that much feed three times a day will kill. As a chick and chicken feed, cats are now coming Into their own. From the time chicks are a week old they mny have a feed of oat flakes or pin liead oals " and also the tender sprouts of oats as spoken of last month and oats mny be boiled half an hour to sotten them and then fed to four-wccks-old chicks. Potatoes or potato parings may be cooked with tho oats and led with rood results. Cats make bone and mus le and should constitute the feed on e a day. anyway for that reason. When the parings cf vegetables are u wd. It. thould be understood that they are to be washed before being cooked. IMrt in any form is neltnor a relish nor a benefit to clilcl:e"S. Fcrd has advanced so In price In tho past seven years, that cue. must lie on tho lookout for food sturf that will furnish tlio necessary upbuilding qualities of muacle, bone and flesh, without bringing the cost of it too high. Coarse whrat bta.n made into a crumbly mass into which is incor porated chopped dandelions, plantain, purslcy, onion tops or leituce makes a line noon meal. Green feed is a . necessity for chicks for their well-being and rapid growth. About Rural Telephones. I want to say something from my onn experience about the value of rural telephone lines. I never real ized -till I had one Installed In my home what a labor saving device they are, and what a social help. The need of a telephone is much gr.oter in Iso lated communities than in the city. II is such a comfort, when you are miles away from yoi:r friends, to be able to talk with them at a moment's notice. And it is more Chan n com fort to have t'-ie means of summoning a doctor without taking a long, te dious drive over bad reads. Oltan a prompt consultation over the line with your physicians will save you more than the cost of a year's tele phone service. Not only human life, but many a valuable animal's life is saved by belli.? able to procure aid at once. I.u case of fire on the farm the value of a telephone is ines.Jma ble. The greater part of our marketing is done over iths telephone. It we wifih to make a call or vimh uur friends, Inquiry Is made It It will be convenient for them to see us. Thus the bugbear of unexpected company is avoided. The first cost of an independent farmer's line for a dozen subscriiers is; l.u the (aggregate, considerable, but for the individual it is small as compared with the benefit to be de rived from it In even a short iMmt. When our line was built. nea-.y six years ago,, twenty members were en rolled ta the company, a'.inoiigh it only extended to the village store, a few miles away; now our lines cover the greater part of the town, and are connected with a "Farmers' Co-operative" in the largest town In the county, with eillcient service day and night. Through thait office we have connections with Beveral other "Home Mutual Telephone Companies' in oth er counties. To any farmer's wife or woman farmer who does not have a telephone I would say, "Interest your neigh bors In the subject and Induce them to join you in getting a permit from tho town authorities to erect an in dependent liiie. People may scoff at first, but be assured a "Farmers' Tel ephone Company" Is sure to grow. Myra D. Scalo3 in the Tribune Farm er. Farm Notes.

The White Company Receives Unique Compliment For the Sturdy Reliability of Its Steam Car From Mr. Roosevelt and Family. 4 I -, Theodore Boosevelt and Parly In White Steamer. 1 After fifteen months' absence, exactly as scheduled, Colonel Theodora Roosevelt disembarked from the Kaiserin Augusts Victoria, Saturday morn ing, Jane 18, at 11 a. m. To the keen disappointment of a large group-of newspaper correspondents, Mr. Koosevelt absolutely refused, as heretofore, 1 to be Interviewed or to talk on political subjects, but his rapid fire ot que, i Horn showed the same virile interest In public affairs as before. If the welcome 'tendered by the vast throng may be considered criterion upon which to base a "reLurn from Elba," surely there was no dis cordant note In the immense reception-parade, nor In the wildly clamorous crowd which cheered at every glimpse and hung on' his very word. The Incidents of the day In New York were many, but perhaps none bet ter illustrated the nervous energy and vitality of the man, the near-mania to be tjp-end-doing, which he bas brought back to us, than tbe discarding of horses and carriages for the swifter and more reliable' automobiles. The moment the Roosevelt family and Immediate party landed, they were whlskfid away In White Steamers to tbo home of Mr. Douglas Robinson at! 4S3 Fifth avenue. A little later, when the procession reached the corner of Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue, Colonel Roosevelt again showed his preference for the motor car iu general and the White cars In particular,, when he, Cornelius Vanderbllt and Collector Loeb transferred from their carriage to White Steamers, which were In waiting for them. After luncheon at Mr. ltotiiiihon s house, tbe entire party, Including Colonel Roosevelt, again entered the White cars and were driven to Long Island City, where they were to take a special train to the ex-President's home at Oyster Bay. The supremacy of the White enrs with the Roosevelt party was agala, demonstrated on Sunday, when the party was driven to church In the Whits Steamers, and a. group of some forty prominent Rough Riders were taken In a White Gasoline Truck to a clamim'te at the Travers Island clubhouse ot the New Tork Attiletlc Club Immigrants. From January 1 to date, nearly 700, 000 steamship passengers have arriv ed In the United States, of which number 664,074 came In the steerage, and presumably are new Immigrants, not returning tourists. It will a'.d to a better appreciation of what this Influx means when It is stated that these 504,074 Immigrants, received in less than six months, outnumber the combined population of Arizona, Delaware, Idaho and Nevada as enum erated In the census of 1900. Under our stricter immigration laws, It is to be assumed that the new arrivals are sound in lnd, body and limb, and represent, or will represent, an Important addition to the produc ing energy of the country. They also represent an addition to the con sumptive demand for products, and according to their final destination, whether to the farm or to the city, will aggravate or relieve the situation as regards the supply of commodities and the cost of living. Pittsburg Ga zette Times. First of the Season. It is about as near a sea serpent as anything that has ever been brought into Portland. Some of the fisher men have called a king herring whatever that Is, and some have call ed it a king smelt. Looking at the fish from all side? and top and bottom, it is very evident he Is a rare specimen. It is as atten uated as an eel, for from nose to tall fin It measure's about four feet and is no thicker than a man's wrist. A sharp pointed wide dorsal fin runs along the back and the whole body is about the color of a smelt. Then there are some wicked looking jaws, with big, Bharp teeth, operating about four inches when stretched to their ut most. The fish looks as if it might bo capable of great speed through the water as well as capable of great de structlveness. Portland Press. Forestry at Blltmore. In point of variety and scope the forest work done on the Blltmore' es tate in North Carolina is remarkable. The forests, which cover 130,000. acres, are made profltablo by the pro duction of various forms of material. Four million feet cf lumber, o00 cords of tannic acid wood and fuel, and 1,000 cords of tan bark and sev eral hundred cords of pulp wood are cut every year. At the eahio time the forest, through wise management, Is bettered and is steadily increasing In value. Workmen employed along the boundaries of tho forest do duty i-; Are guards. Thus fire protection is secured at least throughout all the accessible parts of tho trart"IIay. Flour and Feed Journal. "Realism on the stage? There Is no such thing."

To tear up an old battleship was the labor of months, requiring the careful cutting of no end of rivets and laborious chis eling and hammering.

Or, It coal gas is not handy, aoetyllne or gas oline vapor can be used. Of eonsse, the blowpipe Is connected to the gs hofder by a strong rubber hose. With the gas lighted and the air turned on the hardest steel runs off like a baf of melting sealing wax. The cut is surprisingly clean and smooth, tho metal In no way being Injured. New York Press.
