No wonder that the rejiort of the Secretary of Agriculture Is full of thanksgiving flavor and that he Is un affected by causes for gloom that work on other men. The value of the farm Uroducts for 1007 Is nearly seven and one-half billions of dollars; 10 per cent above that of 1906, when all rec ords o f crops were broken; 25 per (‘ent over 1903, and .57 per cent over 1899. More than 3,000,000 acres of land that used to he considered valueless, “ the home of the cactus and the prai rie dog,” are now producing $30,000,- 000 worth o f crops every year; and these crops are directly due to Sec retary Wilson, who lnqiorted the Med iterranean durum wheats at a first cost o f $10,000 and saw that they wore planted there.

In view of the fact that the Department o f Ag riculture costs only about $15,000,000 a year. Yet the work of the department Is by no means on such a scale as the nat ural resources of the country warrant and will one day make possible.

The prayer to God to draw near to us draws us near to Him. Many who think they are hiding from God are only'forgetting Him. The best views o f heaven come when the back Is bent with earth's burdens. The practice of the love o f man is the best preparation for the love of God. That morality becomes only Immoral that is followed only for profit or pride.

This, he said. In the case o f radishes, can tie applied as a top dressing along the rows, before they are planted, or Just after they are up, at the rate o f 500 pounds per acre. Similar applications can be made on turnips or ouions. I believe that a fertilizer compounded after this formula, or the application o f the three Ingredients separately, at a proportionate rate, would In most cases lie followed by good results. The combination has about 5 per cent nitro gen In lta moat available form, 7 per cent phosphoric acid, nnd 7V4 per cent potash. A ton o f it would coat In the neighborhood o f $32 to $35.

The love o f the miraculous Is enough to keep alive the belief that the ac cepted facts of history concerning a person who has greatly Interested the world either by bis life or his death are all wrong, says the Boston Trans cript. Within twenty years a big book has been published In this country to demonstrate that Marshal Ney was not shot In the garden o f the Luxembourg, Dec. 7, 1815, but escaped to America and dwelt ln North Carolina. For some years there flourished ln Germany a man who declared himself to be the son of the duke of Helchatadt by a secret marriage and therefore the grandson nnd direct heir of Napoleon. This lmiioster was a clumsy fellow who did not know’ his book, for the date he assigned as that of his birth w’ns fully a year subsequent to the death o f the duke. But we need not travel so far as Eu rope to find the credulous of the incred ible. Only a few years ago there died In Kansas a man who was belloved by many o f the vicinity to be Wilkes Booth. A marked physical resemblance to the assassin caused so much annoy ance to a well-known clergyman that he took pains to demonstrate by proofs o f his birth and education that he was not Wilkes Booth. The fact that Mrs. Fitzlierbert made a solemn declaration that she never was a mother does not deter the “ Fltz- herbert heirs” In this country from bothering King Edward with letters applying for permission to examine cer tain papers which they believe contain a secret of vast money value to them. The people who believe these incredi ble legends In the face of proof posi tive to the contrary, are not all o f one kind, nor o f the class o f the English man who said of the Tiohbome claim ant; “ Just because he was the son o f a Wapplng butcher they wouldn’t giv# him the estate.’* These suggestions regarding white grubs were made by the Missouri Ex M M n krn Id e n tity . periment Station; During Robert Lornlne's performance It Is very difficult to do much ln de i f Robert Shaw's "Man and Super stroying white grubs where they have man,” in Minneapolis, one night re once gotten a good foothold.
