Farm Notes ! Few persons realize, says Current Lit erature, what a wealth ofjntereet is to be found in the study of the history of cultivated plants. Agriculture must have been one of the first steps in civili tation, when man began to give up the nomadic habit and claim a permanent residence as "Home." Horticulture would follow at no very distant date, 6till as an adjunct of home, so it is no wonder that the two arts are invariably associated with that most expressive monosvllablo so suggestive of peace, rest, and affection. One eminent hot anist, Alphonse de Candollo spent years of incredible labor and research in this studv. and one of his monuments is his work on the "'Origin of Cultivated Plants." As a sin-'le instance of the interest to De found in this study Just glance for a moment at one of our cereals. The cul tivation of wheat is lost in the mya tenous past. Ancient bsvptnin monu ments, far older than the Hebrew Scrip' tures, show that the Egyptians had grown this plant for so long a time that the cultivation was thorouahly estab lished. They ascribed the gift of wheat to their goddess Isis. Rice was. grown in China so long ago as twenty eight cen turies before the Christian era, for in t ceremony instituted at that period, the emperor had to sow rice once a year with religious rites. Barley and millet also go back to the distant past of the early men who built the lake dwellings of Europe; oats followed later, and later still came the cultivation of rye. Maize was grown to such an extent that varie ties were recognized when Aztec monu ments were raisei. Thus the story goes on, carrying us on to prehistoric, nay. primitive, times, whose lecords are only read in the refuse heaps of the earlv farmers of the world. Alfalfa for Poultry. Every one who has used alfalfa clover in winter, or at anv other time, knows the great value of it as a poultry food and an egg-producer. It is easily pre pared in winter when the hay is dry, With a little pounding it is astonishing to-see how little bulk there will be of the stems. This chaff, well sprinkled with bran or shorts and scalded with hot water, makes a feed for poultry in winter that may be equaled, but it is doubtful if it can be excelled. Kansas Farmer. Grovtlnjr Sillier, nnd Buckwheat. Millet is grown much like any small grain. Plow the land and sow broad cast the latter part of May at the rate of one or two pecks per acre, if seed is de sired. H you want the millet for hay, sow much thicker. It can be sown as a catcli crop as late as July. Buckwheat is usually sown in June, or the seeding may be delayed until the early part of July. It is seeded broadcast much as any other small grain, using from two to five pecks per acre. This grain can be used as a catch crop also if desired. An Aulo on tbe Farm. One of the features of the St. Louis Exposition will be a novel exhibit by some manufacturers of South Bend, Ind. It will consist of a display of farm imple ments in which the automobile will play an important part. An automo bile with a plow attached will be in op eration, showing how much faster the soil can be turned with the new power than when the plow is drawn by horses. The automobile harrow, gliding smooth ly and swiftly over the field, is bound to win the admiration of the rural visitor. Another exhibit will show the automo bile UEed as a farm wagon. The prac ticability of mowing hay and cutting grain with automobiles will also be de monstrated. The versatility of the auo mobile will be shown when it is seen, as it will in Agricultural hall, grinding grain. These are a few of the work-day stunts which the much-abused auto will be put through, and the exhibit ought to remove much of the disfavor in which many farmers hold the horseless car riage. Farmlnsr By Xlsn t. Many of the large farmers of the West i are taking a profound interest in some power which will supersede horses and oxen. Some are using steam tractors, but these, however, endanger the crops by fire, especially in very dry wea'ther. One Dakota farm is now experimenting with an electrical device for this purpose. Sy this contrivance the power is genera ted by a mill some distance away pef haps several miles and transmitted in the usual way to a power mast 40 feet high, set in the open ground. At the top of this mast a double conducting cable is connected, this in turn being connect ed to the tractor, which consists of a twenty-live horse-power motor on a heavy carriage. A spar 10 feet high is carried on the carriage, with a universal joint pulley on top, over which the cable is led to a drum on the carriage, whi.h automatically takes up any slack cable as the tractor approaches the power mast, the power being transmitted by suitable connections through the drum to the motor. The tractor, when in operation, is hitched to a gang plow, cultivator or harvester, the cable being kept from sagging by the action of the drum. With a cable of about 500 feet in length twenty-five, acres can be work ed.the work has proved so satisfactory that it is proposed to extend the system to cover COO acres, which will require twenty-four masts at suitable intervals This device should prove quite essential during the spring wheat operations, as each day's delay in seeding is detrimen tal to the future crop. The owners of this farm, on which they are using this method, propose, when planting time comes for the spring wheat, to install arc lamps on the masts and carrying poles, so that their operations may go on night and day, thus saving valuable time. Cultivation of Grapes. Plant grapes for vineyards in rows 8 feet apart, and from 0 to 8 feet apart in the row, according to the habit of growth of the variety. Dig holes about 10 inch es deep and large enough that the roots may be spread out naturally, without one root crossing another. In dry days it is t etter not to have many holes dug ahead of planting, as the earth will be molater if freshly dug. Put tho finest and best earth at bottom of hole and among the roots, nnd the coarsest and poorest earth at top. While planting, care must bo taten that the roots do not become dry. 10 prevent this it is customary to carry them aboutlhe field in a bucket or tub partly filled with water, after tho tops are cut back to two or three budB. Al ways give good cultivation, and the first autumn cut back to four or six buds and cover the vine with earth. Uncover in spring as soon as frost ia out, and after tho buds start leave only the two best buds and rub all others as they appear. Let two canes grow the second year; they will probably get to be some 5 or 8 feet long; if so, cut one of them hack to three buds, and the other to within 4 feet of the ground, to bear. This severe pruning in their early youth, toeether with good cultnre, will give them such a good send-off that they will ever after bear you bountiful crops of their luscious fruit. When five or six years old, from three to five canes may be left. Remember always to cut the old wood back, as it is the young wood only that bears fruit. Grapevines may be trained against buildings, fences or on stakes, trellises, etc. Wire trellises, about 5 to 0 feet high, are best for vineyards. N. B. Do not leave too much wood on grapevines. Cut out all old wood as far as can be done, and cut back last vear's canes one-half of their length or so, depending on their strength. Few er bunches follow this cutting back of the voung canes, but larger bunches and berries ate to be had. The March Smart Set. The March number of The Smart Set is distinguished by the extraordinary vanetv of the fiction composing it a variety that is altogether meritorious. In the novelette, "The Interference of Miss Jane," by Robert Adger Bowen, one finds an exquisit love story, chiefly of the Eouth, though sometimes the scene is shifted to New York. 1 1 has a real atmosphere, a real plot, real action in short, a story that is both power ful and fascinating. In contrast to it follows "Tomorrow at Dawn," bv Rose K. Weekes, a wonder ful tragedy of one father's love for his child. Again, "The Sentimentalists," by Ruth Milne, is written in lighter vein, with gentler theme, but equally excellent of its kind. Other stories that command attention and admiration are: "By a Strange Road," by Kate Jordan, strikingly original in its narrative of t desperate and loving woman; "Mam mon's Match," by James Branch Cabell a thoroughly entertaining piece of come- dv work, and unusallv clever; "The Divvil Wagon," by Ernest Jarrold, most amusing tale; "The Hypocrite," by Edith Elmer Wood, a situation of solemn and compelling strength : "The Mask of Comedy," by Stanhope Same, a story that is unique in its sensational plot; "The Second Mrs. Nichols," by Elizabeth Knight Tompkins, a singular ly ingenious psychological study ; and "The Man of Smiles,', an exquisite sketch that breathes the air of Paris. An esEay, "The Wiles of Venus," is contributed by Edgar Saltus, and it brims with brilliancy. Among the great number of admirable poems the place of honor is given to "Lost," by Harrison S. Morris, which is, indeed, of wonderful simplicity and charm. A ballad by Montagu Leasing "Where Lay a Mist," is, too, of unusual excellence, and there are others in abundance by such writers as John Winwood, Elsa Barker, Virginia Wood ward Cloud, Clinton Scollard, Arthur Macy, Emery Pottle, Mabel Earle, Myr tie Reed and Fanny Kemble Johnson Throughout, the number is lightened by crisp humor in sketches, paragraph and verses, contributed by Gelett Bur gess, lorn aiasson, relix Carmen, J. L. Harbour, Alex. Ricketts and many others. In its entirety this Number of the Smart Set is a compendium of the high est value in fiction and in verse. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

II, WrlKlit'a Theory la That Football Arouaea tbe Sumo Enthu lasm In Modern Yontb That Event Deacrtbed In the "lUnd" nud "Od yssey" Inspired In Men of Other Days Hearty Itesponse Made to Ills Plnn. Football nnd tho classics are being combined in the course of Greek nt Yale, says u New Haven dispatch to tho Philadelphia l'reas. Nearly u hun dred poems recently written In Homer ic verse on the subject of the Yale Harvard football game were presented by members of Dr. H. B. Wright's Greek clnsses. The poems are closely modeled on the "Iliad." aud special attention to the use of Homeric epithet was required of the students. Instead, however, of references to "swift footed Achilles" and "Ajax, who bore his shield like a tower," It was "Horaback with his back sloped like a mountain" nnd "long headed, red headed Rockwell." Tho poems were the result of a plan of Dr. H. B. Wright. Instructor In Greek, to arouse the Interest of the students and to familiarize them with the construction of the epic verse. His theory is that tho game of football arouses the same feeling of -intense enthusiasm In the modern youth that the events described In the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey" Inspired In the m-n of former times. Accordingly he uu'le an offer of extra credit to member;, - f I. la classes who would present poem-. .: -n: the lines laid down. The Renom: jum! enthusiastic response, be says, con firms bim In his theory. ; The offer was made after he had tried vainly to Interest his classes in Greek. The language and lofty senti ments of Homer had no effect ou the majority of the students, who seemed unable to get the spirit of the poetry. In trying to find a contemporaneous ex ample of the feeling which Inspired part of the world's greatest literature he thought of the game of football. "Football Is real and vivid to every one of these men," he said In explain ing his idea. "It arouses the same In tense admiration that Is manifest In Homer. Rafferty, Hogan and Shevlin occupy positions almost like demigods of old In the estimation of the under graduates. They are not unfitting sub jects for heroic poetry; they have many of the qualifications strength, courage, daring and brains. The battle Is one In which the strong of body, the quick of eye and the swift of foot will tri umph. The poetry which I have read Is very satisfactory and shows that the men have caught the spirit I desired. Many of the epithets are truly Homer ic" The following Is a part of one of the poems handed In: This Is the noble array -which RaSerty, mighty In battle.

The McKajr Bequest to Harrnrd. .Harvard university, already one ot the four richest universities in the country, measured by the amount of Its producUve funds, has lately re ceived what will probably be the lir gvst windfall In the shape of a legacy ever secured by an American InsUtu tlon of learning. Under the terms of the will made by the late Gordon Mc Kay, the millionaire Inventor and man ufacturer of shocmaking machinery. Harvard will eventually Inherit all of his Immense catate, estimated to be worth at present between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000. The amount presently available un der the terms of the bequest will. It 1 believed, be about $4,000,000. Briefly stated, the university I to have SO per cent of the net Income of the $20,000. 000 estate left by Mr. McKay after certain annuities amounting to S47.CO0 are provided for. This Income Is to accumulate until It amounts to $1,000,- 000, when It Is to be paid over and de voted to Instruction In all grades of applied science and In extending aid to meritorious students. On tbe death of the last of the annuitants the czecu tors are to pay over to Harvard the entire estate and all unexpended In come to be used In the advancement of scientific education. The McKay bequest, which ranks among the most notable in the record of educational benefactions and they have been many and large revives public Interest in the endowments nnd producUve funds of other Institutions of learning In this country. Among tbe richest Institutions and the amounts of productive funds credited to them dur ing the last college year are the fol lowing: Armour Institute ... Columbia university Cornell university .. j:,wo.om U.283.951 7.5n.63S 15.002,21 U.U9.E33 4,100.000 K.000.0OC 2.95O.OO0 Qlrard college , Harvard university Johns Hopkins university Leland Stanford, Jr., university., Northwestern university Pratt Institute 3.000.0M University of California 3,XS,027 University of Chlcaco 9405,12 University of Cincinnati 3,337,308 University of Pennsylvania....... 4,001,715 Washington university 4.767.000 Talo university 6,000,000 It will he observed that Harvard ranks very high financially without tho addition of the McKay bequest, which again exemplifies the Scriptural max im, "To him that hath shall be given." Pensioning of Life Savers. Among: the early bills introduced In congress Is one by RcprcscntaUve Lov erlng of Massachusetts for pensioning retired members of the marlno life saving service which attracts not a little attention. A bill of similar pur port was presented last year and wna favorably reported by the committee on Interstate nnd foreign commerce and placed on the bouse calendar, but pevcr came to a vute. Mr. Loverlngf new bill, which requires three-quarters pay on reUrcmcnt for life savers, Is now in the hands of the above named committee, of which he is a member. The measure appears to be quite gen erally favored, the only opposlUon that has come to notice being on the ground Jhtif Jlio government phauTd expend Its. luriuey-' for peualona oiily when tha Worfcpf "the pouslonera was In the llnu 6 patriotic servleu. Under prcscut conditions It sonio times happens Unit n'buu surfuieu are killed or disabled lu tlltl pursuit of fluty prlvuto subscriptions urn taken up for the heueflt of their families, in a recent case In which uu entire life saving crew was drowned the fund bo raised nmouuted to 510,000. Privato generosity, however, is more or less uncertain In any event nnd does not go so far as to provide for the old ago of life savers who have escaped actual accident. Wages of $05 a mouth for ten months In the year, out of which the surftnnn must support his mess, clothe himself nnd' maintain his fam ily and himself during the Idle mouths, nro certainly not strikingly better than the private soldier's $ia. every cent of which he can save If be chooses. The work of the life Bavcr, too, Is about the most hazardous In which iucji can engage scarcely less so, In deed, than that of the Koldler In tho field. Both the Importance and peril of the service rendered by these public sorvanta are abundantly attested by the frequent reports of the heroic res cue of life and property along ocean and lake coasts. our In giving the details of n murderous nssnult a Chicago paper salil, "One I that the defendant Henry Graham Brown sweep of the knife had slashed her nS3 Waist almost from shoulder to wrist" , the conii.I-Int In tru.t for the defendant Ed .. ! want B.

Handsome velvet gowns are among the smartest things this winter. Usual ly a gown of this sort Is quite espen Elve, and as a result it U often made to do duty both for day awl evening wear. A long, well cut skirt accompanies two Iwvl iia iA.iun.xs. Embrokleries are seen a pooa ileal on ; princess frocks. The shoulders are kept I very wide, the effect being attained by j the addition of a flchu composed ofj folds of velvet, fur, lace and taffeta, j Formerly only llcht shade? were usn1 i In the evening. Now one sees a great , . , , many dark Shades as well. Cloth gown' cuirroN EVExrsa dkess. for evening wear are also smart, and they are lightened lu appearance by the addition of pieces of real lace, gold and liver embroideries, stc. Dyed lace fs now a feature of many of the smnrtest gowns. Worth Is using a good deal of silver with blond lace, and the heavier makes are dyed to match the new shades of royal blue, golden brown, etc. Most of the gowns have very high collars, which have to be cut with the greatest care. Tbe new chiffon velvet Is finer nnd closer than panne, but as yet Is too expensive to use very liberally. The little tassels of silk nre replaced by laivr on. In which chenille Is con spicuous, and long fringes of chenille and ball pompons of the same are usI both on fur and plush nnd nre shown In mole gray, seal brown nnd black.

The national banks of the cpuntry might add very materially to their popularity aud usefulness by establish ing a method for the trausfer of money which would be less cumbersome nnd slow than the system now employed by tho postal department and express company. What the business people of the coun try need Is n system by which Jones In Atlanta, Ga., for instance, can go to a bank and deposit $100, or any other sum, to be paid to Brown In New York or Seattle on the same day by a bank In cither of those clUcs. The bank In the receiving city notifies Smith that it has the sum to his credit, and that, with his Identification, en ables him to get It at once. The cost of the transfer, Including telegram nnd bank commissions, Is held out of tbe remittance or arranged between Jones, who pays It, nnd Brown, who Is tbe beneficiary. A. similar system has long been In vogue In Germany and has resulted In the marked facilitation of money ex changes wlUiln the empire, accommo dating the public, hastening business and proving profltnbla to the related banks, fiuch an arrangement between naUonal banks of this country would soon glvo them an Immense volume of business annually, with profits better than ordinary exchange, nnd would do a public service that the people would not be slow to appreciate. .
