LYCEUM LECTURER
ARRIVES HERE LATE
Itnlpli I'nrlette, who was to hate
given t he first entertainment on the
lyceuiu course Monday evening, did
not arrive here until yesterday morn
ing. Although he started from Chi
cago a day early, the heavy western
colonist travel, which he says has
been tremendous during the last few
days of the low rates, made the
train .'to hours late.
The lecture will lie given Saturday
evening at N:3l o'clock at Odd Fel
lows' hall, when Mr. I'nrlette will j
Klve his humorous lecture on "The
I'nlverslty of Hard Knocks."

In that winsome story of Ruth and
Boas told In the book of Ruth mention
la mad of tba human provision of
tba Hebrew law which prohibited tba
owner of a field gathering every stalk
of grain from hla field leat the poor
and the stranger might not be able to
get some grain on gleaning tba fields.
Tbla interesting custom of "gleaning"
instituted among the Hebrews baa
been carried down tba year to mod
ern times, aa abown In Millet's famoua
masterpiece, "Tba Gleaners."
Every dairyman, no matter if be

The kernel of the argument In favor
of dairying aa a method of keeping
up soil fertility lies In the fact that a
ton of butter aold from the farm re
move but about 23 cents worth of
fertilizing elements from the soil
It la no wonder that one farmer the
writer heard of the other day la not
bothered with bog cholera, for, accord
ing to report, with each barrel of will
that hla hoga consume they get a
pound of concentrated lye. They seem
to thrive on this, yet the marvel la that
they have any 'Innards" left at all.

If electric tight wires run through
the limbs of the sbndes tree about
your bouse, keep a lookout to see that
the latter are not Injured through
drawing a current of electricity from
the wires. This damage la not likely
to result unless the Insulation comes
off, but this Is Just what happened in a
case the writer noticed the other day.
with the result that a fine hard maple
tree baa been practically ruined.
Of the ataple cropa grown In Ameri
ca tobacco la rated a the moat exhaus
tive on the soil. This la partly due to
the fact that it pulls largely on the
soil in the way of fertilizing elements,
but aa much to the fact that the con
sumption of the plant doea not, aa In
the case of the common forage plant,
result In the return of any of these
elements to the soil. One authority on
plant chemistry states that the tobac
co crop produced In thla country In
single year means the permanent re
moval from the soli of 29,000,000
pounds of nitrogen, 20,000,000 pounds
of potash and 2,500,000 pounds of
phosphorus.
A whole lot of married folk go clear
through life and miss the great and
Immeasurable happiness that might be
theirs simply because tbey do not know
or refuse to recognize that the square
deal In practical operation aa between
man and wife, coupled with mutual
consideration and forbearance, la the
chief secret of a happy and whole
some married life. It Is tbe kind of
home atmosphere that the exercise of
such traits develops that makes life
really worth while a home where tbe
children find contentment and happl
nesa and which they leave with regret
when they go out and aet up homea on
their own account

A flock of bena that the writer aeea
frequently of an evening have a regu
lar picnic In a mellow potato patch
scratching for worms and Insects on
being released for a few minutes from
their yard. They get a food element
that they much need, and more than
this, the exercise puts tbem in good
condition. Where the bens cannot be
let out In this way It Is a good idea to
spade np patches of their Incloeure so
that they may bar mellow soil in
which to scratch.

Steers are still on the climb at cen
tral markets. $11 per hundredweight
being paid for best gradea the other
day. A lot of men would like to tackle
the feeding proposition, which surely
looks tempting, but young stock la al
most as blgb proportionately aa the
finished beeves, and so many have been
beaten at tbe feeding game under
somewhat similar conditions that they
are a bit dubious about taking tbe risk
for fear, having fed steers for ten
months or a year, the prices would
take a slump, leaving tbem In a bole.

Soull and Skull.
"Scull" and "skulls" are really one
word In origin, and both at various
times have been spelled capriciously
with a c" or a "k." Tepys, the dia
rist, tells how he went on the Thames
at one time "In a scull," at another In
a "skuller." The origin of the word la
"skulle" or "sculle," a bowl or goblet
While the cranium waa obviously bow
llke In abape a distant resemblance to
a bowl waa alao detected In tbe scoop
ed out blade of a "scull" aa opposed to
the flat blade of an oar proper.

In tbe year closed June 30, 1012. these
Investors were mulcted out of about
1125,000.000. Tbe authorities ran to
earth every one of these koavea possi
ble who bad a band In these swindle
on the ground of a fraudulent use of
the aaalls. but It la fair to assum that
enough of them escaped so that tbe
gullible and unwary would better go
low in turning over their hard earned
coin In return for paper promises
which oau never be fulfilled. Tbe de
partment figures aeem to show that a
fool la born every minute and some of
the time more than thla.
A statement that tbe writer noted In
print the other day rather gave the
Idea that tbe housefly waa entitled to
aome consideration because of tbe
service it rendered In disposing of de
caying animal matter. Tbla is a plac
ing of credit wbere It doea not belong.
Tbe maggots or larvae of bouaefllea
work almost entirely in horse manure.
and the only service they render to
waste matter of any kind la the suck
ing of moisture from It thus hastening
the drying out process. The larvae
hlcb do work In decaying animal
matter hatch from the eggs of tbe blue
bottle fly, which Is of a greenish.
glossy appearance. Its sense of smell
seems to be admirably developed, and
the moment It acents an odor arising
from decaying animal matter It forth

In all that portion of the corn belt
north of latitude 42 degreea and It
will do no barm to keep the fact In
mind for aome distance south of this
line It Is well to select for seed ears
that are borne low on the etalk. for In
a majority of Instances the kernels
from such ears will produce corn that
III mature earlier than that from high
borne ears. It Is ewpoclnlly necessary
to follow thla method of selection of
seed ears with corn of several stand
ard types that have come from aec-
tlons having a longer growing aeason.
By selecting the early maturing ears
year after year a type may be devel
oped that will mature considerably
earlier, and this Is quite a considera
tion where the crop has alt It can do
to squeeze Its growth la between spring
and fall frost.
Nature often puta forth special ef
forts at reproduction In the plant
world. Thla waa ahown oddly aome
years ago In a subsequent fertilization
and filling of portions of ears of corn
wbere no fertilization waa effected In
the first This waa brought about by
rains, which greatly revived the parch
ed corn and renewed It vitality. The
present fall witnesses a condition al
most analogous In that aa a result of
heavy midsummer rains stalks that
bad set no ear or small ears sent out
new eara and related the whole proc
ess Thla seems to have been quite
general, with the result that at this
ritlng the middle of September-
there are many fields In which the
greater portion of the crop Is dented
and out of the way of the frost, while
the second growth referred to la hard
ly past nice roasting ear stage. Some
of It Is so bclnt.il Hint It will need
