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." For a brood bow prefer one of good length and breadth of body and placed on abort, atrong, well made legs, aet wide apart To make the sheep flock moat profit able or at all profitable no source of revenue must be neglected, whether it be mutton, fleece or Increase. 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 doesn't have mora than a half docen cows, should use a separator. Bklm- mllk la too valuable to be allowed to go off the farm.

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. TEN ACRES SOLD. PRICE IS $12,500 K. K. Stanton has bought of Mary LaMonten ten acre Waring orchard adjoining his ranch In the Oak drove dlHtrlct. The LaMonte procrty Is Improved with a In nine and out buildings.

Next Sunday at the Christian church Kally Day will be observed In the Sunday School and a rare treat Is promWd to all who attend. 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 I 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.

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. It may Interest those who do not possess a first hand acquaintance with the habit of tbe peanut plant to know that tbe fruit or nut of tbe plant la not borne above ground, aa are the commoner legumes, beans and peas. nor on tbe root proper, aa la the case with potatoes, but on what may be termed secondary roots, which the plants throw out from the stalk an inch or two above ground and which enter the aoll In much the same fash Ion aa do the upper brace root of tbe corn plant When ripe tbe plant are pulled with the goobers attached, and when tbe latter are dry tbey are clean ed and polished and ready for market The peanut plant la not only aoll en- rlcber, but tbe top make excellent for age. 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. It la stated by the postal authorities that through blue aky Investment achemea of one kind and another which human suckers bit on greedily 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 with proceeds to deposit lta egga. which batch In a abort time and soon consume the mass, thus aiding In re ducing it to Its primal elements.

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.

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.
