Under the captain of "An Educational Home Cominsr" the Farmrs Guide has the following to say of the Plymouth Fall F-stival: "The three tlay 4 ' Home Comim:" held at Plymouth under the auspices of the Commercial Club of that city, reached a climax in attendance and interesting attractions on Saturday, September 23. Thousands cf people were in to witness the horse show and the proat industrial parade, and to see the aeroplane flights. The featt F i-iis home coming rst v.fr! iv of note was the divine. y agricultural tone jriven t" t'..e whole atTair. Over 3-jO plates of splendid Marshall county fruit apples, pears, irrapes, etc. were entered in the horticultural exhibit. Tlie corn and sn ail jrrair.s show was well filled in ail classes, many of the samples in this class, however, showing their lack of uniformity, lack of appreciation on the p?rt of the exhibitors of what constitutes a :ood sample of corn. A feature of Thursday's program wa- a lecture on corn rrowiuj: hy Fre 1 C. Palin. Newton. Indiana, originator of Palin s Corn Flake Yellow. Saturday, preceding the horse show, D. O. Thompson, animal husbandry extension man of Purdue experiment station rave a short talk on "The Improvement of Indiana Horses." He called attention to the classes into which the hore market divides horses offered for sale, namely, drafters. harness horses, saddle horses and ponies, and unred that farmers strive to produce horses of type and quality to fit into some definite class. Soundness is essential in horses joini: to the horse markets, and unsoundness can be largely eliminated in the foaN afrd young stock by using perfeetlv sound stallions and mares of good conformation of limb and bodv for breeding purposes. Stallions affected with moon blindness, cataract, roaring or whistling, heaves or broken wind, crampiness. stringhalt, bone spavin, ring done, navicvdar disease, hog spavin, or curb with curby formation of the hock, should not be used for sires, as these are breeding infirmities. The value of the pure-bred stallion over the urade in producing marketable foals was shown by means of a chart wherein the data showed that colts sired by pure-bred stallions sold all .the way from .$27 to $100 bisher according to a-ze than colts sired by grail? ?tallions. On? of the notable features of the lectures on both days was the fact that U. S. T.emert, Plymouth ?s energetic hors? dealer, who was in charge of proceeding and to whom much of the success of the Homo Coming w as due. caused the carnival attractions to sltHt down dnrinsr me lectures, which was appreciated by both the speakers and" the audience. Purdue experiment station was further represented by II. C. Mills of the dairy department who had an educational dairy exhibit in connection with the exhibit of the Schlosser Creamery Company.' Following the hoTse show the horses lead the merchants, manufacturers and farmers industrial parade. It was over two miles in length, and the floats were all excellent. The management of the " Home Coming" is to be congratulated upon the very successful manner in which they succeeded in instilling an educational element into the affair, thus making it more worth while than whrre all the features are of the light carnival order.

San Diego, in the extreme south western corner of Uncle Sam's do
minions, is the first of American
cities to inaugurate a great forestry enterprise, in the expectation of speedily lessening the burden of tax
ation borne by its citizens anil, lossilly, of ultimately relieving them of all tax levies for the sup
port of the city government.
As a heritage from the days when San Diego was a Mexican pueblo, the city owns 7.000 acres of land, which, up to the present time, has been unproductive. On. account of the rapid growth for which the various species of eucalypti are remarkable, and the grr at value of the timber as a substitute for oak, hickory, and the other common hardwoods, these are the trees that are being most largely planted. Forty thousand seedlings of the "siiirar 'gum" Kucayptus corynocalyx were purchased from nurserymen and set out in the spring of the present year. The Federal I.ureau of Forestry,- in ottieial publications, discourages the expectation of extraordinary profits from Eucalyptus culture: but, on the other hand, the pioneers in Eucalyptus culture, who have been jirowinir timber for profit for a piarter of a century or longer, exhibit statements of ti'fir business that seein of more practical value than any amount of tbeoiinng One conservative statement is ,piven by the owner of a la rue Eucalyptus grove planted more than twenty-five years auo. He says that he barvests annuallv timber t the value of 0 from each acre, and that the timber remaining becomes of greater value each year, the natural growth of what is left more than compensating for what is cut. Groves of this kind will continue productive forever, with no diminution of the annual harvest, young trees springing up from the old stumps, or being replanted, so that the stand of timber is kept as heavv as the land is capable of supporting to the best advantage. Let us gran the contention although advocates of Eucalyptus culture will never do so that San Diego can never appn ach the record referred to. Supiose that the citv forest, when 2.' years old, can do onlv half as well, and can yield only $175 worth of timber to the acre. That means that the annual haivest form its 7,000 acres of pueblo lands if all is devoted to forestry will le $lt22."i,000. Allowing for all expenses, there will be left a profit that should go far towards reducing the burden of taxation now imposed upon the people of San Diego. November Techn:c;d World Magazine
Some Extra Bis Corn. Cas Pillion can justly brag on a 15-acre piece of corn on a 40 that he owns west of town. Last year the ground was under water, but it was drained and corn planted on a portion of it. The- crop had but one plowing, and it will yield about 73 bushels to the acre. Some of the stalks are l." feet hiah and LearIv 2 inehes thick. Culver Citizen.

Auto Fire Trucks Here. Oct. 12. Last night two auto fire fighting machines stopped, in Plymouth a short time while on their way ta South Bend. The trucks courstd up. and down the street several times and stopped in front of Freyman's saloon, where the drivers got well "tanked up" for t he drive to South Bend. The machines were labeled Charleston, W. Va., fire department, and were making exhibitions through the country.

Record Pig Story. Peter Gibb, of Colchester North, has a Jersey sow, which on Sept. 15th, 1910, gave birth to 13 pigs; on April 1st, 1911, she gave birth to 13 more, and on Sept. 15, 1911, she gave birth. to 13 more, making 39 pigs in one year, and out of these 34 are living.

Efforts At Tyner Failed, But Lakeville Plant Is Developing This Territory With New Inventions.

That there are important deposits
of peat in Marhall county has been
known for some tirre. a has also the
fact that this peat is of the best rade. At Tyner. in North town
ship and also in West and German
are important deposits of this fuel.
The plant recently erected at
Lakeville is beginning to develop" this industry and after the peat
there is exhausted those -ieposits in this county will be worked. Speak
ing of the peat industry aa October Bulletin ot the United States Geo
logical Survev has the following:
The meat peat deposits of the
United States se?m destined to re-
nain an undeveloped resource, at
least for some time to come, not
tm-ough any inorance ot theuiprac-
tical vain. According to Charles A. Davis in an advance chapter on
the production of peat from Mineral
Resources of the United States, for
IP 10, which is issued bv the United
tates Geological Survey. note
worthy progre was made in 1910
in the production of peat fuel in other countries than the United States, not only in the mantity actually marketed but al-o In methods
of producion and utilization. In
this country, however, although it is irenerallv known that there are
arge quantities of material good .for
f uel in the peat bo;s and swamps of
the northern and eastern parts of
country, but little progress has been
made in developing his resource on
a commercial scale.
In commenting on the growing use
of peat in Europe Mr. Davis refers to its value as a gas producer, the resulting "producer gas" having a
recognized high value for fuel and
Kwer. In a recently H?rfected gas producer it has been found that in
converting peat containing a good
percentage of nitrogen., into gas a
arge amount of ammonia, greatly
valued as a fertilizer, can be ob
tained as a by-product. Mr. Davis
quotes from a report which shows
hat where gas-producer plants us
ing peat are carefully managed so
uxeat are the profits obtainable that
it is often penible, while aking no
credit whatever for the value of
the power gas, to obtain as much as
100 per cent profit from sulphate of
ammonia alone, after making prop
er allowance for the cost of digging
the peat, bringing it to the plant.
and for labor, stores, capital, shares,
tc. Indeed, with peats comnara-
tively poor in nitrogen, it is possible in many e?ses to produce the gas fcr nothing the cost of power he"uicthen merely that of operating the gas encines. together with capital charges on the saqe. Although these claims may be somewhat optimistic, says Mr. Davis it is clear that if each ton 'of theoretically dry peat gasified yields from 75,000 to 00,000 cubic feet of producer gas, the calorific value of which is from 125 to 135 British thermal units per cubic foot, and also gives 200 pounds of sulphate of ammonia as a by-product, the operation of a plant consuming 10 tons of dry peat fuel a day ,would produce a ton of the ammonia salt.
The price of "sulphate of ammonia
has for some years remained very uniform at about $G0 per ton in spite of enormously increased production. This process, which is of practical application in the United States, Mr Davis, believes, should be investigated carefully by owners of American peat lands, many of which are very rich in nitrogen, some Government analyses showing as high as 3.39 per cent of combined' nitrogen Peat consumption of all kinds in the United State3 in 1910 amounted to $182,147. Thfc report ort the production of peat in 1910 can be obtained by applying to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.
