It I a bit hard to understand Just
why It Is si. but the grnpe does best
on u soil which at surface, at least
would be culled thin. One of the hir
gest vineyards in the country lies along
the railroad right of way between I'as
ndenn unci Kedlands, mid the surface
soil Is ns nearly pure white sand as
It could well ls. Yet it Is a inarvelous
ly thrifty vineyard through the entire
tract of .t.iloo acres, similarly the
most profitable vineyards In Michigan.
New York and other grne producing
states are, as u rule, situated on this
game light and thin soil.
Many a dog -mid this applies to both
tow n mid country canines becomes nn
all around nuisance by living allowed
to form the habit of rushing out nnd
barking and biting nt every animate
object that passes the place. Natural
ly this habit enrages passersby, who.
to use n common phrase, ,-hiy" for the
brute. After he has been w hipped and
stoned about so much he naturally
look upon every traveler as his enemy
and n foe to (lie premises he has tin
dertaken to protect. The tlnje to take
the kink out of a dog of this kind Is
before they are formed, by administer
lug a good whipping every time he
tries It It won't take hi in long to
catch on, and he will stay near the
bouse, where ho belongs.

With proper care ducks will begin
laying at live months without regard
to the time of their being hatched.
Data lutely published show that
about 14,000 families are at present re
siding on lund watered by government
irrigation systems.
Wlille there may be greater risk in
raising them, a flock of cockerels at 10
cents a pound live weight are n more
profitable proposition than the average
hog or steer.
A unique experiment In oiling rail
war tracks was worked out the other
day on a transcontinental line when a
tank car containing 10,000 gallons of
cocoanut oil sprung a leak and the con
tents were spilled for a long distance.
The dust was laid, but the material
used was a bit high priced.
There Is mighty little consistency In
the cry put up by many farmers about
the high price of farm machinery re
sulting from manipulation by tlie
trusts when these same implerjents
are left exposed to the weather in
headlands and fence corners with no
covering but a few cobwebs.
The grand total value of all live
stock of the country, including the
several kinds of domestic animals,
poultry and bees, as reported to the
census bureau for 1010, is $4,S:o.0O0,
000. This is an increase of nearly CO
per cent over the showing of 1900,
when the figures were $3,075,0oo,0o0.
The l(llot4c practice still persists of
getting pure bred cattle so fat in
making them ready for live stock ex
positions as to virtually ruin them for
breeding. The live stock authority or
Judge who has the nerve and good
sense to lead a vigorous revolt ngalnst
this senseless practice will be entitled
to the thanks of every raiser of blood
ed cattle In the country.
Ensilage Is coming more and more
iDto favor ns a part ration for feeding
cattle. A combination that is hard to
bent Is twenty-five to thirty pounds of
iilage, from eighteen to twenty pounds
of corn and from two to four pounds
of clover hay or alfalfa. Where It Is
not possible to secure these legumes
two or three pounds of oil or cotton
seed meal will be a good substitute.
In a good many states laws recently
passed specify what shall constitute
official weights for the many products
of the soil used In general consump
tion. Where such laws have been
passed it means that the buyer cmi in
sist on a fair measure when lie buys
a given n mount. Three products of
general consumption where the en
forcement of the law is likely to make
a difference are potatoes, onions nnd
apples.
Every thinking horseman knows that
it Is not whether a collar Is soft, but
whether It fits, that makes it a good or
bad collar. Without question the best
collar made today is an Iron frame in
which there Is no leather or padding
on the parts touching the shoulder.
This reduces perspiration to a mini
mum nnd keeps the surface of the skin
in a healthy condition. A collar that
has to be padded is likely to be either a
poor fit or poorly made.
As a source of supply for the nitro
gen ration needed on the farm a field
of alfalfa Is preferable to n clover
meadow for two reasons. The first Is
that It Is a perennial, not a biennial,
as Is the clover. This means that It
can send Its roots deeper Into the earth
and when once established Is much
less likely to winter kill or die In a
dry spell, as wns the case Inst summer
A second point In favor of alfalfa Is
that under equally favorable condi
tions It will yield twice ns much
hay ns w ill clover. Perhaps It Is some
what more difficult to get a Held of
alfalfa started, but it l worth the ef
fort. '
For those living In the northerly lati
tudes who have n strawberry bod to
rnrry through the winter for the first
time n suggestion will be In place as
to protecting It. It Is well to wait tin
til the ground Is fror.cn firmly, when
the bed should be given n covering of
clean straw, coarse hay or cornstalks
and of sufficient depth to shield from
the rays of the sun nnd keep the bed
from alternate thawing nnd freezing
during the winter. If one's locality Is
likely to be visited by n killing frost
at blossom time the danger tuny bo re
duced by allowing the covering to re
main on the bed until a couple of
weeks after other green things get well
started. If the covering Is of straw It
Is nn excellent plan to merely rake It
from the plants on to the spaces be
tween the rows, where It will serve ns
in excellent mulch and keep the ber
ries clean.

ORGANIZATION WHICH BY INADVERTENCE EXPRESSES IN ITS
ORGANIZATION ANYTHING CONTRARY TO HIS LIFELONG CHAR

The Sherman act against trusts came along because trusts existed
and were multiplying.
Our busy, unsuspecting people were not awaro of the power and
hardships possible to monopolistic corporations, and the continual ad
vance in the cost of living, raiment and all building improvements
AWAKENED THE PEOPLE.
A day had come when the people all over the United States would
get behind their senators and representatives, judges, writers and the
newspaper world generally and demand relief. That day had to come
or anarchy would have been produced.
THAT DAY OF RELIEF HA8 ARRIVED.
It is written, "AS A IT AN TIIINKETII, SO IS IIE," and so
are his companies and businesses. I am sure the day is at hand when
any man or set of men doing business contrary to existing statutes,
when such is proved to them without animosity or unnecessary haste
or heedless expenses, will set their houses in proper order. For this
reason I believe we are on the eve of a BETTER, SAFER, STEAD
IER, PROSPEROUS BUSINESS DECADE.
