Reasons why it is the best
Feed Mill made, and cheap
est to buy:
1st. Because the Mills are made
of the best material, and finished in
good workmanlike manner.
I'd. Because it is constructed with
gearing which gives a high motion to
the inner-grinding burr, causing the
mill to grind more rapidly than any
other in the market. .-..,~<
Sd. Because the burrs grind alike
on all sides, and do not wear out on
one side while the other remains I'M
touched. .
4th. Because our grinding burrs
are manufactured under patented
process which enables them to be
made absolutely true, and we can In
sure them to grind more than double
the amount of grain or other makes.
5th. Because the mill can be ad-
iusted to grind from coarse to fine,
or vice-rerSo, without stopping the
team.
9th. Because the mill is made
and warranted by responsible manu-
facturers, who will furnish repairs
promptly and make good all defects.
Call and see mill and be convinced
that it will be money in your pocket

Clipped His Wings.

The exuberant style of young wri-
tiers and the shock of the severe les
son that usually cures them, make an
amusing comedy together. The fell
low who gets the lesson, however,
does not appreciate the amusement.
A fresh reporter tells how he was
tanned down after his first fight of
rhetoric.
Last night 1 was assigned to re-
port a fire over on the west side,
and 1 wrote it up in grand style,
made half column article of it. ]
began in this way:
Suddenly on the still night air
rang the shrill cry of fire, and at the
same moment the little licking
tongues of flame, whose light played
along the roofs edge, had caught
the eye of the midnight watcher,
leaped forth, no longer played, but
fierce and angry in its thirst and
greed. Like glowing, snaky de-
mons the lurld links entwined the
doomed building; IN Venomous hiss,
es and spirits the flames shot into
the overhanging darkness, while
from every window and door poured
forth a dense, sulphurous smoke,
the deadly, sufocating breath of an
imprisoned fiend."
Il went on in that style for over
half a column" said the reporter,
land this is what showed up in the
paper this morning"

stroyed by fire last night; $3.50; I'M

Oiling a Crank.


The palatial steamer Mary Powell
was on her daily trip up the Hud-
son. A number of passengers had
gathered around the open door OF
the engine room, looking with inter
est at the movements of the pom
derous machinery. Among the
passengers was Sam Foster, New
York gentleman, who is practical
joker. He was young man OF
means and was elegantly dressed.
He is moreover very good amateur
ventriloquist.
''Now, boys" said Foster, "let's
US have some fun with the engIn-
eer."
A creaking, squeaking noise was
heard among the machinery. The
engineer was somewhat startled,
and he fabricated various and sun
dry parts of the machinery with
great industry and an oil can. The
latter contained half pint of oil.
Foster nudged one of his boon
companions in the ribs, and pretty
soon the machinery squeaked again.
Once more the engineer Gained
down a suspected piston by an
nointing it with his alleViator.
The squeaking still continued,
and Foster pointed cut the place
that needed oiling. Once more the
engineer took his alleviator, and re-
moving the cork, poured the con-
tents down the back of the festive
Foster and over his forty dollar
suit of clothes.
There" said the engineer, 81
don't think that'crank will squeak
again in a hurry."-Texas Siftings.

Farmer, Buy for Cash.


The following from an exchange
is as full of sense as an egg is of
meat, and should be read and pom
dered by every farmer in this coun-
ty: spot cash should be, above
all others, the farmers rule in all
business transactions. No one has
better credit than the farmers: no
one can less afford to use it. The
credit system always means higher
prices. 1t always means an assump-
tion of q portion of the risk of 9th
er mems carelessness or criminality.
1t is always paying for something
you did not get, and do not want.
1t always means insuring other men
against losses for which you are
not responsible. 1t always means
interest-and always on the wrong
side of the account. In its wake
follow sleepIess nights and cheer
less days. Lawyers delight in it,
for by it are their fees increased.
Farmers, you can't afford to trade
on the credit system. Turn away
from it, eschey it, cast il ont from
you. Cash reduces prices faster
than CO operation; knocks out mid
dlemen quicker than a grange
store; make friends instead of enc
mics; brings peace instead of de-
struction; starves the sheriff; Grip
piles the lawyer, and is the best and
cheapest hook-keeper in the world. !"
