WHAT ONE BOY DID. The blue ribbons that were pulled down In tbe Angus class at tbe Inter national live stock show held St Chi i ago early In December prove tbat one of the most successful breeders of this type of cattle in the country was a roung man of the name of Otto Bat tles, who happens to live at Maquo keta, la., but who for the purposes of this article might have lived In any other state or section of the country. Lost year, at the age of twenty-three, he exhibited nine head of cattle and captured some of the best prizes of fered. This year he exhibited sixteen head of Doddles and captured still more blue' ribbons, attending in all during the reason ten shows and win ning $3,00d-tn cash prizes. This boy started in tbe live stock business when he was sixteen years old with two thoroughbred Angus cows, both of which gave him fine calves. A little later he mixed with his stock breed ing operations a little of wbat some Ultra practical men are wont to term "theory" and' took a course In animal husbandry at the State Agricultural college. He then went back home and developed his Uttle herd Intelligently until today he has close to a hundred head of as fine Angus cattle as can be seen anywhere. That raising pure bred stock Is profitable as well as en tertaining Is shown In the prices he receives for animals sold. A pair of heifers which he disposed of recently brought him $800, while for three oth ers he received $500 each. Be sells his bulls for prices ranging from $350 for $500 apiece, and one cow which he wisely keeps In his own hand3 be values at $2,500. Strangely, young Battles got no encouragement In this work from his father, who, though a hardworking man, took no stock In these -newfangled Ideas. His mother encouraged him, however, and the two proved a successful team. This Instance of success may be somewhat out of the ordinary, but it shows nice ly what can be accomplished with intelligence and energy and disproves the claim of some that there are no opportunities today for boys on the farm. Other boys' can do what this one did if they only think so. A SPRAYING DEMONSTRATION. The Nebraska experiment station has lately tabulated the results of an BTfenatve series of snraylnz experi ments which have been carried on un der its direction In the eastern part of tha tfit durlDar the nast three years, tnd they are so complete and worked out In such detail as to rnrnisn most mtiTlnrlna- nroof of the advantage and nmflt in the soravlng of apple or chards. The figures given are toe annn of ten BDravlng tests. The number of trees In the experiment was 2,003 and their age nineteen yen. Tfu averasw cost Def gallon of spray ing material was four-fifths of a cent and the coat of application i cent per gallon. An average of seventeen gal loos of spraying liquid was used on each tree yearly, while tne wrai cost At material and labor per tree each I year was SO cents. At picking time it was found that tne sprayaa irsw fisia- ed on atr average (us Dusneis oi ap- oa awhtoh hmaa-ht 41 Cent DOT bosh- J, or a total of $2-30, while the nn- sprayed trees bore 8.2 bushels or mm, t nf which sold at 23 cents per bushel, giving a return of TO cents per tree.

Herri a cmaw -pains and bratne with fellow anlxed 4an i A curious feature of Mexican corn growing la that tfcree crops may be grown in one season on the same land, while fields showing different stages of development are often seen grow big side by side. Medium red clover will yield In seed all tho way from half a bushel to seven bushels per acre, the average probably being somewhat under two. The largest yield mentioned Is possible only under the most favorable condi tions of growth and maturity and where the production of the seed Is made a primary and not a secondary consideration. According to the bureau of animal Industry at Washington, a considera ble number of crossbred Angora goats now find their way to stock centers, such as Chicago, New York, Kansas City and Buffalo, being there convert ed Into "mutton," which, though it sells for a trifle less than tbe genuine article, is used in considerable quanti ties by hotels and restaurants and on ilinlng cars. Those who are looking for land openings will be Interested in a bill Introduced in congress In early De cember to open a new government land office at Belle Fourcbe and for settlement about 1,750,000 acres more land in the Pine Ridge and Rose bud reservations. The bill as Intro duced provides that the ucw district shall include the southern part of Butte county, not Included In tbe Lem mon district and the northern tier of townships In Meade county. A Texas senator has recently jump ed Into fame as a frog king, having followed as a side line on his 200 acre farm at El Campo the .raising of frogs. While newspaper reports credit them with being as large as chickens, an eyewitness declares that tbe frogs raised on this farm are tbe finest and largest he ever saw, being largely the result of special care and feeding. Three of the fellows are said to make a meal for five people, tbe meat betng as sweet and tender as tbat of a young spring chicken Oxen are the common draft animals used by the Mexican farmer. In har nessing them for their work the neck yoke, if such it may be called. In stead of being attached to the animal according to the American fashion, is strapped firmly to the horns and Just back of them. While this method of fastening seems to be awkward and even uncomfortable for the animals, they seem to get along quite well with It The neck of the Mexican ox, ab normally large and muscular from the exercise which It has bad from gen erations of tbis kind of exercise. Is so thick tbat It would be Impossible to adjust to It an American yoke, with which tbe pulling Is -done from the shoulder aud not by means of tbe neck proper. If the recent national corn show at Omaha made one point clear for tbe casual observer It was that while corn types and characteristics may not be trnnomlrtert from Darent to Child as completely or unfailing as In the ani mal kingdom, they are transmissible ro mieh nn extent as to make the busi ness of corn breeding a most Interest ing as well ns profitable occupation for the average farmer. The best types of corn shown at the exposition were not the result of chance, but of years of careful and painstaking se lection and breeding. Just as Is the ease with the prize animals that carry off the blue ribbons at the interna Mnnnl fnt stock show. Both cases cited emphasize' the law of cause and effect and give force to tne trutn mat like produces like. The valuable work which Is being done by agricultural state experiment stations might become more useful than at present If farmers would make more frequent Inquiry than they do of the station officials for Informatloa along tbe various lines In which tney are interested. The experiment sta tion officials are not omniscient, but tney are doing a painstaking and valu able, though unappreciated work, hay ing for Its prime object the betterment of tha agricultural Interests and pur suits of their own state. Tbey art In a position to do so and will gladly an swer queries of any kind touching tbe operations In which tbey are engaged. They consider it their business to pass upon the purity of clover and other graaa seeds submitted to them for In spection; can aay whether a given type of small grain or com is adapted to tha homo state or a given locality: will Identify weeds of all klnda submitted for examination and state whether harmful or no; will deflno a balanced ration and stats how It may be fed to beat advantage; will describe best methods for securing and handling tba various crope; furnish valuable Infor matloa touching dairy maps men t, pesJdss a good deal of other valuable and useful data.

The really aggravating feature In connection with most folks going to California during tbe winter months Is not that tbey themselves by very con- trast enjoy the genial winter clime. but tbat their tantalizing reports about roses In bloom out of doors, green peas and strawberries usually arrive when their less favored friends are gripped fast In a blizzard direct from Medicine Hat and are spending tbeir spare time stoking fires and thawing out their noses and wnter pipes. Owing to tbe droughty conditions which prevailed during the late sum mer and fall months through many of the western states, where cattle and sheep raising fa carried on extensive ly, reports thus early 'are to tbe effect tbat in many sections the animals on the ranges were In poorer condition on Dec. 1, tbe beginning of winter. than they usually are on Feb. 1.

About tbe only hope left is tbat a mild winter and a scant fall of snow may serve to alleviate their terrible suffering. Professor Tlansen of the South Da kota Agricultural college at Brook ings Is In fnroff Siberia on a leave of absence seeking for hardy types of grains and grasses which may be of value to American farmers and espe cially to those In the northern states, where rigorous climatic conditions are unfavorable to the successful growing of many plants which find a congenial home In the south. Among several In teresting finds reported by tbis plucky Norseman, who Is risking his life In bis work, are four varieties of hardy alfalfa which be believes will thrive In tbe drier portions of the northern states. Those who have been watch ing bis fascinating search will hope Professor Hansen may return borne safely and not lose tbe alfalfa seed by tbe wayside. Professor C. Willis, who baa general supervision of tbe experimental farms belonging to tbe South Dakota Agri cultural college, reports some practical and interesting results with some corn breeding experiments which he has been carrying on for the post three or four years. By selecting bis seed with care and detassellng alternate rows In his experimental blocks, so as to pre vent Inbreeding, bo has been able to increase the yield of a given type of corn well adapted to South Dukota conditions sixteen bushels per acre, some of tbe fields on the college farms yielding as high as eighty bushels to the acre. While this type of ciperl manral work nmv not be practical for every farmer. It might be done ou a small scale with profit by many more than at present. The United States can take no more aAvaiu-ed or effective sten looking to a protection of our rapidly atminixn faig forest resources than by removing tbe doty from wood pulp, oil kinds of paper and all grades of fiulabed lum ber.

' CATTLE AND TUBERCULOSIS Aside from the danger to human health, one cannot afford to have tu- borculotis cows upon bis farm. They are a mennce to the herd, as the most valuable animal may bo attacked at any time. Transmission from one anl mal to another is often speedy. The great point in guarding ngulust the disease Is first to eliminate all affected animals and then keep each cow in such robust health and such sanitary surroundings that her constitution will throw off or render powerless any bac teria that may find their way to her. Plenty of sunshine, plenty of fresh air both In the stable and out and good feed and care will go a long way to ward making your cows immune. Professor Shaw says of the disease: Tuberculosis is a germ disease and can only be contracted, therefore, by contact with the germs. It Is reason- able to suppose that the liability to In fection Is greater where the germs are cumulative that is, iu stablos where several tuberculosis animals are pres entthan in those where only one is present. Tet sad experience has shown that but one affected animal in one Season may scatter germs that will affect many animals. Tbe dangerbf Infection from animals at liberty in the open air Is not very great. Some animals are much more germ resistant than others tbat Is, they can stand exposure much better than oth ers. This Is true of animals that sre strong and vigorous, and yet It Is prob ably true that no animals aro so strong that tbey enn resist exposure Indpfl dido or ran uimsafnx usun. While to all appearances perfectly healthy, this cow had tuberouloeia when the picture was taken. nitely under conditions of exposure fa vorable to tbo transmission of tbe dis ease. The germs are probably never im parted simply through tbo medium of the breath wbnn tbis breathing is nor mal. They may come from tbe saliva, from nasal discharge, from tbe bron chial tubes, as In coughing, and from the droppings. They may dry and rise with dust in tbe stables or yards, raised by air currents, and In this way tbey may be taken Into the lungs. " Young animals, as calves, very fre quently get tbe. germs In milk, both whole and skimmed. Young animals are also more susceptible to tbe dis ease than those that are" older. It Is now pretty clearly proved that tuber culosis is much more prevalent in wine that are fed milk from creamer ies than In those not so fed. Yon cannot always detect tuberculo sis from the appearance of tbe animal. In the herd at tbe Minnesota experi ment station some of tbe healthiest looking cows were tested and found to have tuberculosis, while others that bad every appearance of suffering with tbe disease were shown to be en tirely free of it Lleo en Hogs, In making plga comfortable one should be on the lookout for lice. Many keep and feed pigs at a loss when tney are -Infected and do not know why tbey are unthrifty and ns profitable. When tbe first signs of lice appear, which are white specks or nits on tbe end of tbe hair back of tbe ears and on the aide, prepare to make abort work of tbem. Spray them with gome good dip, clean tbe nests and pens and cleanse them with tbe same. In the absence of dips take equal parte of kerosene and castor oil and brush It Into tbe bair ail over tne piga. Take tbe straw out of tbe nests ana burn It Disinfect the floors and aides of the pens with a strong solution of carbolic acid, two ounces to a gallon of water. If any afterward appear re peat tbe operation. .Tawwlpe Fer.Steefc. ...

Immediately on being appren ticed to Avet I applied lor admis sion to tbe drawing school of tho Cooper institute, and every even ing after my return from work at 6 o'clock and a hasty tea I went down there, where my artistic edu cation began. I can recall there the kindly im pression; produced ou me by Abram 8. Hewitt as he glanced at me dur ing some function. Father at that time was making shoes for the Cooper family, and I suppose that that is why he looked at me. The feeling of profound gratitude for the help which 1 have had from that institution abides with me to this day. It was during the next two or three years that my first aspirations and ambitions made themselves felt. I became a terrific worker, toiling every night until 11 o'clock after the Cooper institute was over, in the conviction that in me anoth er heaven born ireniui had been given to the world. i can recall thinking in public conveyances that if the men stand ing; on the platform around me could .realize how great a genius was rubbing elbows with them in the quiet looking boy by their side they would be profoundly impress ed. As a result, I waa so exhausted by the confining work of cameo cutting by day and by drawing at night that in the morning I was literally dragged out of bed by mother, pushed over to the wash stand, where I gave myself a cat's lick somehow or other, driven to the teat at the table, administered my breakfast, which consisted of tea and large quantities of the long French loaves of bread with butter,, and tumbled downstairs, out into the street, where I awoke. "Bern inucences of Augustus Saint Oau dens" in Century. The Old Constitution, The Constitution originally car ried forty-four guns. A particular ly interesting history it connected with this ship. During the war with tho Barbnry powers in 1803 she was Commodore Treble's flag ship in the Mediterranean and played a conspicuous part during the whole war. Lieutenant Wads worth, who was blown up before Tripoli in the ill fated intrepid was one of the officers of the Con stitution. In the course of the war with England in 1812 tho English MDerl laughed at tbe Constitution and spoko of her as "a bundle of pine boards sailing under a bit of Striped bunting, nut wnen unuei Captain Hull she captured the English frigate Ouerriere, a vessel of nearly equal force, the people who had before ridiculed her called her "one of the stancbest vesselr afloat" A few months after this victory tbe Constitution, then com manded by Captain Bainbridge, compelled one of the finest frigatet in the British navy, the Java, to strike its colors. Glass Polishing. Glass grinding is effected by the use of emery powder of various de grees of fineness. But it has been shown that this grinding cannot bs carried beyond a certain point, however fine a powder may be used. In fact, continuation of it undoes the work and breaks the surface ur again. The most finely ground wate, if largely magnified, is s'jowo to be covered with tiny bits Mcb no grinding will remove. The work is therefore continued with rouf carried on a pad of rosin, which gradually smooths down the eleva tions between the pita. Hydro fluoric acid gas corrodes glass very rapidly, but weak solution of il melts sway the -roughened surface and leaves fine polish underneath. This method is used where vcrj fine adjustments of the surface art requires at, for instance, in lenset for telescopes and microscopes. Tbe Ceier of Flemee.

Flagler, owner of the road, is nbU to carry nut his announced intention ot ferrying trains from Key West to Havana, passengers will be able to enter a parlor car at New York or Chicoag and upon leaving it, step on Cuban soil. It is I'lnnntd to have trains run ning through to Key West in time for Mr. Flagler lo ride over the line on his 80th birthday in January, 1010. If (he ferry lakes the trains across the Florida straits to Havana from Key est, it is estimated that the time between New York and the capital of the new inland republio will be 50 hours. At present the time between the two cities via steamers sailing from Knight's Key dock, is 52 hours, 10 minutes. Part of the road yet to be con structed between Knight's Key dock and Key West will cost more per mile than any railroad hereto fore built. Spans longer than any yet used on this unique railroad, running as it does for many miles over the water, will be required. From Knight Key dock to Key West the dihttnee is 45 miles. Fur 25 miles of this distance a grojt part of the work has been partially com pleted. At both ends of the gap and on the keys between workjs going forward with great vigor.
