To a more or less extent the land is damaged in the ftdjoining field; there is a hindrance to the use of the mowing machine in keep­ ing down grass and weeds; in the spring the shade from the tr^es, even though there are no leaves, tends to hold the frost in the soil a little longer, and thus cause the settling of the roadbed, and there are doubtless other arguments, says the Prairie Farmer, that may be AN ARTISTIC AND INVITING ROAD­ WAY. urged against the timbered, shady road­ side. Nevertheless, after all is said there are few people who do not iike to ride along the shady roadway; it is always admired; few farmers are willing that full grown, thrifty trees should We sacrificed, and not infrequently the farm itself will command a better price per acre simply because the prospective purchaser is pleased and delighted with the stately, comfortable and wholesome feeling that the shady roadside gives to the farm. A type of the sbady roadnide is shown In our illustration. The trees are pines, but pines need not be used unless de­ sired. They are frequently admired be­ cause of their evergreen appearance. The oak and the elm are often much ad­ mired, and may be grown successfully In almost any northern climate. Ho Industrial Class in Country Xoort . gntitled to Help Than Pym- ing Communities. ̂ .icyrt , ---- #ix*th!B Is a government of, by and for the people, it is time to cast about and see whether its functions are be­ ing faithfully exercised. There are ninety million people in the United States, and more than one-third of these are engaged in agricultural pursuits. ' Upon this* latter class all the others depend for the necessaries of life, and according as conditions »re good or bad about the agricul­ tural classes, all the others are af­ fected. Prosperity in the farming world means prosperity in the indus­ trial and the mercantile world. When the farmer® suffer, the disaster reaches in some measure to every man, woman and child in th«> country. There is no way to honestly jput out of sight the interdependence of our people, and yet the one class that could live absoluetly without the ex­ istence of any of the other classes is the farming community. In view of these self-evident truths it does seem that the industrial and mercan­ tile classes, with the professional people, wbuld be mindful of every­ thing tending to make rural life profitable and pleasant. The pres­ ent highway conditions form the most serious drawback that confronts the country to-day. In no other civ­ ilized country do lil^ conditions pre­ vail. Wherever government has in­ tervened for good highways, there the people are happiest. The high­ ways afford to the rural population not alone the n^eans ot communica­ tion with the business world, but the means of reaching church houses and school houses, and all that they have of social intercourse and amusement. It should be a matter of general pub­ lic concern to have the highways in all the states put in first-class condi­ tion. The states of themselves can never establish satisfactory systems of roads, nor should they be expected to. The cost of road construction should be equitably distributed, and this can only be done through national aid. ASTONISHING LAND VALUES United States and Canada Bich in of in Prices. WHAT LIMITS CORN YIELD. Low Protein Corn More Apt to Do Well <Sn Land Poor in Nitrogen Than. High Protein Corn. Regarding the yield ot corn it seems quite possible that upon land whose productive capacity is limited by the supply of available nitrogen the low protein or high starch corn may yield better than the high protein corn, provided the two kincis of corn are equal in other respect*, as in germ­ inating power, vigor of growth, root development, etc. My opinion is that if we have use for high protein corn we should produec it and by means of leguminous crops we should pro­ vide the growing corn crop with as much nitrogen as it can profitably use. course this principle applies not only to nitrogen, but to all of the elements of fertility. There is no economy in allowing any crop to grow in a half starved condition, any more than there is in keeping growing ani­ mals on a mere maintenance ration. We should provide not only the ni­ trogen, but we should also make sure that the supply of phosphorus and potassium is sufficient for maximum profitable crop yields. In this connection it may be stated that the evidence thus far obtained from soil investigations in the corn belt indicates that the supply of ni­ trogen is abundant in most soils, in­ deed that large amounts of nitrogen are annually passing off in drainage waters, that phosphorus and not ni­ trogen is the element which commonly limits the yield of-the corn crop, and that the chief effect of clover upon a succeeding crop of corn is due to the phosphorus liberated by the decaying clover residues, the fixation of ni­ trogen being of secondary import­ ance.--Cyril G. Hopkins, University of Illinois. THE ASPARAGUS BEETLE. Suggestion as to Effective "Kethod of Preventing Injury to Plants. • . - HOME-MADE BATHTUB. Sow One Made of Wood May Made to Do Very Good Serv­ ice in the Home. Many homes are without bathtubs because of the expense necessary to se­ cure one and con­ nect it with a wa­ ter supply. Here is a suggestion of­ fered by the Farm Journal as to how one may be made of wood. Paint it with several coats of white paint inside, and keep it well painted. Fit up a little room for it off the kitchen, if possible. Run a piece of lead pipe from this tub out through the wall, using a stopper to retain the water when in use. A few pailfuls of water from the kitchen pump, and one or two from the hot wa­ ter tank or kettle, will fill the tub suffl- and in less than five minutes. , Skim Milk for Calves.' This is an exceedingly valuable feed for growing calves. It must always be fed sweet and must be as warm as the mother's mjlk, about 98 degrees. Four quarts fed wlce a day is sufficient for the first month. Add a teaspoonful of oilmeal to each feed. In addition to the skim milk, let the calves have oats or shorts and hay. The only effective way to prevent injuries to asparagus by jisparagus beetle larvae is to destroy the eggs before they hatch, says the Orange (Ind.) Farmer. The first eggs are laid on the young shoots; later on the grown plant. They are black, about 1-16 inch long and set nearly at right angles to the stem; so, though small, they are fairly conspic­ uous. In a few days they hatch into slimy, greenish slug* with black heads, legs and dots on the body. The simplest way to manage is to leave a few inferior shoots for the females to lay eggs on. When four or five days old these shoots must be cut and burned and others allowed to replace them. To simplify this cutting and to reduce to a minimum, the chance of missing any plants, those allowed to remain should be all in certain parts of the field on certain days. The ileld should be di­ vided into four or three equal parts, depending on the frequenoy of cut­ ting. At the first cutting the trap plants should be left in the first sec­ tion and so on. In *iach other section every punky stalk should be cut with the marketable ones and burned. Every trap plant in any section must be cut on the fourth or fifth day and the plan continued through the cut­ ting season. This will completely protect the field from late attack and reduce possible infestation the next season, provided no asparagus is al­ lowed to grow in fence rows and waste places and provided neighbors are -as careful. *fo those who are skeptical of the wisdom of investing money in real es­ tate there are,, numerous instances of cities where every inch of land is of great value which have been built upon sites formerly sold for little or even given away. The United States and Canada are rich in such examples. Canada especially has been the scene of gieat bargains in land. During the first years of its history James I. made a free gift of the whole of Canada, to­ gether with Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, to the famous Lord Stirling. Some 200 years later a member of the suite of the governor of the colony was granted 100,000 acres of land by William IV. Later this was increased by the addition of 500,000 acres. Sixty years later a Canadian land company was given 3,000,000 acres, 2,000,000 be­ ing paid for at the rate of 60 cents an acre, and the rest a free gift. As late as 1880 the Canadian government ac­ tually made the Scotch-Canadian com­ pany a present of $2,500,000 in cash, as a bonus, with a free grant of 25,000,000 acres. As there were many conditions as to the development of the territory in the terms of lUe grant, the bargain was not so one-sided as it at first ap­ pears. T Everyone knows that the whole of Manhattan Island was sold by the In­ dians for $24. Yet a plot of ground which was once a farm, and was grant­ ed and still belongs to Trinity church, yields a yearly income of $10,000,000. Pennsylvania, the second mqgt popu­ lous state in America, containing scores of prosperous cities, has an area of about 45.000 square miles. This tract of land was given over to Wil­ liam Pinn in settlement of a compara­ tively trifling debt which Charles II. owed to Penn's father, and which he found himself disinclined or unable to pay in cash. The same improvident king was the one who rented 2,700,000 square miles of the land about Hudson Bay for a yearly rental of two beavers and two elk per annum. This has proved to be one' of the best speculations in land on record. Some 200 years after the deal the company of owners sold the major part of this vast territory to the Cana­ dian Federation for $2,500,000, and In the meantime it had been bringing in an average income of $500,000 a year. Not more than 270 years ago the present site of Liverpool was sold for $2,250 by a small London syndicate, who had bought 11 from Charles I. for less. The site of Johannesburg and most of its gold mines, which are. said to contain over $14,000,000,000 worth of the precious metal, were sold less than 30 years ago to an Englishman named Pratt for the sum of $1,500. In spite of Its cheapness it was a bad bargain for him, for because of his activity in the first Boer war his property was confis­ cated and he ,waa driven to England In a penniless state.

What They Look Like and How They Art Attached to Foliage--la- sect Does Little Damage. The illustration shows a deposit of katydid eggs on a grape vine. This in­ sect Is a common species through southern and central United States, but very seldom causes serious damage. The eggs are of a slate-brown color and are laid in remarkably regular, double rows, with broken joints as shown in the illustration. They are laid on the twigs of trees in the north, as the in- fnjarsred Profile A Lticky Man. The man who owns a good farm, free from mortgage, and who invests most of his money at home--in better stock or better living--is the center of a finan­ cial world of his own. He's the king pin! And many a big city financier envies him his security of possession and freedom from uncertainty. s>de Wert. THE KATYDID EGGS. sect passes the winter in tne egg stage. In the south they are laid on the edges of leaves, frequently, a row on each surface, says the Ohio Farmer. The in­ sect has two generations in the south. When theeggs are laid,the surface of the twig is first roughened by the jaws. The eggs are then laid, one after another, the successive ones being pushed for a short distance in under the preceding. The number laid by each female vafies from 100 to 150. In the spring the egg splits along the top and the young katydid emerges, very pale in color. Mr. Scudder, who has made a study of . the song of the* katydid, says the night song and the day song differ. Early In 1897 telegrams were posted in a hundred cities along the Missis­ sippi, warnlrife the inhabitants to pre­ pare for tremendous floods. These warnings, says J. E. Watkins, in the Technical World, went so far as to name the exact date--sometimes two or three weeks off--when the coming flood would be at its height, and even stated the number of feet above low- water mark the water would reach. They were signed by the chief of the weather bureau at Washington. The inhabitants of Cairo, New Or­ leans and of the towns and cities be­ tween read these sensational messages, looked out at the shrunken Father of Waters flowing calmly along within its banks and sniffed contemptuously. They were not going to be scared by a lot of fool scientists in Washington! Only a comparatively few timid people were at all alarmed or even impressed. These went so far as to move their valuable property up onto high ground, and were well laughed at for their pains. Even the newspapers took the matter up, and scolded the govern­ ment for allowing the weather bu­ reau to frighten neerlessly a lot of silly old women. Finally the date set for the coming of the flood arrived, and with it came the water. The greatest flood for more than half a century swept down the Mississippi anil overflowed more than 13,000 square miles of land. The main streets of a hundred towns and cities were under water; and, at some points practically the only property not dam­ aged was that of the ridiculed people who had heeded the despised warning of the weather bureau. And it was es­ timated that property to the value o! $15,000,000 was saved, which would certainly have been destroyed but for the advance notice which Its owners had been wise enough to heed. Two Kinds of Fruit Growers. Roland Morrill, the great peach* grower of Michigan, says that h$ never attends a meeting of fruit growers that he does not receive benefit. He represents a class of suc­ cessful men that know they can al­ ways learn something they do not al­ ready know. Ahother fruit grower said; "I don't care to attend these meetings. I know all about fruit growing." He represents a class of men (generally unsuccessful), who imagine there is no knowledge out­ side of that ppssessed by themselves. A man to be successful in fruit grow­ ing must lay hold of every kind of horticultural information that can be reached. Chauffeurs of Long Ago. There were chauffeurs long before automobiles. History tells us that about the year 1795 men strangely ac­ coutred, their faces covered with soot and their eyes carefully disguised, entered by nights farms and lonely habitations and committed all sorts of depredations. They garroted their victims, dragged them before a great fire, where they burned the soles of their feet and demanded information as to the whereabouts of their money and jewels. Hence they were called "chauffeurs," a name which frightened so much our good grandmothers. , Jail-Breaker's Offenffe.

Of course, the woman expected the colonel to apologize, just os did even-body else who heard her give a mouselike squeal when the colonel s foot came down. And she looked as though the expected an apology, but the colonel, divining her thought, doffed his hat and said: "No, madam, I'm not going to apologize. When the good Lord wfce so gracious as to make women so beautiful sind chnrming and with such wonderfully small feet that a man has to tramp on them +o find them, then I don't think that an apol- 0<¥he compliment was too graceful for the woman to resist, and all that fol­ lowed was a smiling acknowledgment of the colonel's gallant Epeech.
