Much Still to Gain in Cro.
Eugene Guard: Last year, when
the average yield of crops in the
United States was better than usual,
winter wheat fell a little below 15
bushels to the acre. In Germany the
yield was 33 bushels to the acre. In
this country the spring wheat aver
age was about 17 bushels. In the
German empire it was above 3 4 bush
els. Rye is a great erop in Germany
and is little grown in the United
States, but the average German yield
contrasts with the American much as
it does in wheat. This country pro
duced 17 bushels to the acre on
2,117,000 .acres. Germany harvested
29 bushels to the acre from 15,223,-
'000 acres.
' America did better with oats, but
the German average of 47 bushels to
the acre for that grain makes the
37-bushel record for the United
States look unsatisfactory. In bar
ley, again, the figures are decidedly
against this country. The German
average was 40 bushels to the acre,
the American not quite 30, which
was high for the. United States.
Potatoes make the worst showing
of all for American agriculture. The
vast German crop, which is bigger
than any other food crop raised in
any country, with the single excep
tion of corn in the United States,
averr.ged about 223 bushels to the
acre on 8,257,000 acres, or a totai of
about 1,800,000,000 bushels, grown
on an acreage only a little i.iore than
double the 3,711,000 acres the
United States used in producing 520,
000,000 bushels, or less than one
quarter of the German crop.
No authority worthy of notice will
contend that Germany is better fitted
by nature for good crops than the
United States, comments an ex
change. The great differences exist
ing mean work and care. They stand
for cheaper labor than that of Amer
ica and more science opplpied to the
use of the soil. We don't want the
low wages in this country, but for
the rest the German empire may well
be studied with care and taken to
heart.

"WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Car With Which England' Standard
Ar Preiervsd.
Every twenty years government offi
cials compare the current weights and
measures with the standards, which
are Healed up in the staircase of the
bouse of commons. There are only
two standards, the pound weight and
the yard measure. The standard pound
Is of platinum, which despite its weight
is do larger than a cubic inch, and.
small as it is. the metal of which it is
composed Id worth 10. The standard
yard Is a bar of bronze thirty-eight
inches long, on which a yard has been
marked off iu tliirty-slx divisions of an
Inch. The greatest possible care Is
taken of these two important articles.
When a comparison Is being made
they are handled with tongs. The
pound weight Is weighed In the most
delicate of chemical balances, and the
yard la measured with a micrometer.
When they are done with the pound It
is wrapped in a special soft paper and
laid In a silver gilt case, which Is plac
ed in a brouze case, this being put in a
wooden box, afterward screwed down
and sealed. The yard measure Is plac
ed on eight rollers in a mahogany case,
which is carefully sealed. Both cases
are then put Into a leaden casket, which
Is wealed by soldering. The packing Is
not yet finished, however, for the lead
case is placed In a strong oak box.
When this Ls screwed down It Is placed
In the bole in the wajl. The wall ls

can only be obtained by demolishing It

A HANDICAP IN GOLF.
It Was a Rather Mean Advantage, but
It Won the Game.
An unusual golf handicap was played
on one of the local links recently, the
proponent of the same winning hands
down. One of the rules of golf is that
oue must not talk to a player when he
is about to make a drive, nor must oth
ers discuss any subject In his bearing.
It might take his mind off the game for
just an Instant, and that might prove
fatal.
In Kansas City lives a crack but ex
tremely nervous golf enthusiast, He
had been in the habit of beating a fat
and phlegmatic friend until the latter
tired of ,It
"I'll tell you what I'll do." the friend
said not long ago. "I will play you
eighteen holes if you will give me a
handicap."
"Done," said the nervous player.
"Name the handicap."
"Three times during the game, and
not more than three, I am to be per
mitted to stand behind you and say
'Bool while you are preparing to
drive."
Every time It was the uervous man's
piny his fat friend walked up and just
stood behind him. Never once during
the game did the fat man Bay "Boo!"
or anything else. But the anticipation
at the expected "Boo!" was fairly
nerve shattering, and the fat man won
hands down. Kansas City Journal.
Grant and Lee.
In reminiscences of President Grant
by Robert M. Douglass, his private sec
retary. W the Youth's Companion he
says:
"One afternoon a tall, handsome man
of splendid presence and with a grave,
courteous face entered my olllce and
modestly announced himself as Robert
E. Lee. When I told the president he
directed me to bring the distinguished
visitor in at ouce. Their meeting was
cordial, but apparently their recollec
tions brought feelings of saduess to
both 'men. The president, with his
usual consideration, presented me to
General Lee. who knew my family and
who greeted me kindly. I expressed
my pi ensure at meeting him and then
retired from the room. I felt that at
such a time no one should intrude. The
visit was merely one of courtesy and
did not last long. I believe that it was
the only time after the war that the
two great generals met."
Distance of Planets.
The distance of the sun and planets
from the earth may best be perceived
by the following fact: A train of cars
going at a mile a minute would
reii h the moon in 150 dnys. Veim in
I'ft.v years. Mars in seventy-.M. yi rs.
Vercury in 110 years, the sun in 173
.veins, Juptter in 740 years, Saturn In
1,470 years. Uranus In 3,100 years,
Neptune in 5,033 years. To reach the
nearest Axed star our train, steadily
maintaining its mile a minute speed,
would require about 40,000,000 years.

Mules for Rural Routes.
Wichita (Kan.) Beacon: One of
the results of the parcel post will be
to increase the burdens of the rural
carriers. The rural carrier with his
horse and wagon will soon be over
whelmed with packages and the
hor.je is not equal to the strain.
It is believed that the mule will
come into his own. For patient en
durance in traveling the same road
day after day in good weather and
bad, the mule has no equal. He
seems to realize that he was born to
! a burdensome life. He isn't beauti
ful to look upon and, except as to his
hind feet, he lacks the rapidity of
movement needed to make him 'a
field favorite.
But when one more ten-pound
package must be picked up, after the
horse's limit has been reached, the
mule will make no protest but re
ceive it philosophically.
Before many moons, the rural car
rier who lacks a mile motor will he
the exception, and the mule raiser
will become an ally of the parcel post
department at Washington.

Making Briar IMM'S.
Washington Times: Hriar root
pipes have boen in continuous use in
this country for many years, but the
general public, even the pipo smok
ers, have little idei of how they are
made or of the time and attention
necessary in their manufacture.
The briar which furnishes the root
from which the pipes are made is
the shrub called tne white heath, or
heather, and Is found chiefly, in the
south of Italy, on the Island of Cor
sica, and in Algeria. The ahrub
often grows to a large size, although
only the roots are used, In,, the pipe
making industry.
After the roots have been cleaned
of the earth whlcn clings, to them,
they are sawed Into blocks of vari
ous dimensions, placed In vats and
allowed to simmer for 12 hours,
which brings out the rich brown
color for which the finest pipes are
prized.
Following this bciling process the
blocks are steam dried for two
weeks, and then aro sent to the fac
tory, where they ere converted into
pipes. The blocks aro assorted ac
cording to size by experts, are placed
on shelves and keut atan even tem
perature for ten dr-ys, when they are
dried, and then aro sent to the ma
chines, where the actual manfacture
begins. After the blocks have been
trimmed to the prope raize, the up
per part of the bowl is turned, then
the lower part and stem, and then
they are sandpapered. The finishing
of the bowls then lakes place.
