IMPORTANT SUGGESTION.

Some one who signs his name Com
the newer counties in the western part
of the state the following statement and
suggestion that contain points of value to
land ownes generally in that section of
the state and elsewhere that similar con-
ditions exist. Expensive law suits and
clouded titles in the future may be
avoided by timely attention to the points
mentioned, and with nominal cost if
united action by neighborhoods Is taken:
The county surveyor was out last
week establishing lines and corners on
section 16, in this township. On the
line north and south between sections Is
and 16 there were but three government
corners preserved, which necessitated
| the establishing of new corners, which
paid no regard to supposed lines, fences,
rows OF trees on roadside, beautiful
groves, drives, orchards and door yards.
The question naturally arose as to the
number of such lines now on the town.
ship and the much greater number that
might be avoided if the lines were now
run and corners established and marked
out with good stone. The county is
comparatively new and the farm I'M
provements will become greater each
year as the people become able to make
them, which they will do when they
adopt methods and crops suitable alike
to climate and soil.
In the near future lines Of trees near
the road side will be seen in every di-
rection, and l need not suggest the ne
cesSlty OF the farmer knowing his lines
in order to be able to set them out SO
as to leave the required number of feet
for the roadway. No farmer will want
to build fine house or make any valu-
able improvements in the way of groves
or yards and run any risk of having
their beauty or convenience destroyed
by a change of road. The cost would
be nominal. The county surveyor as
sures me that it would not cost to ex-
coed 5000, and probably not one-half
that amount to complete the whole work
in Morton township. If the cost would
be s145 it would amount to 81 for each
quarter of land. which can be paid in as
taxes on the land
A petition Or request signed by one
owner of land in each section would be
all that was absolutely necessary to have
the work done. The one notice given
by the surveyor would bind all now res
idents and each parcel of land would
come in for it's share of the expenses
Unless something is done soon in this,
several parties in different sections will
move independent and have their Sec
ton lines located, which will put others
in the notion of having their lines estab-
hshed and all of this being done b. !
piecemeal will make the cost many
times greater than if done at one time,
and Will give greater satisfaction to the |
people. 1t will also be likely to be more |
regular and give less room for mis-
takes.
Who will take the lead in this matter |
and set the ball rolling:

The famous Jersey cattle come from

All reports from the western ranges
in regard to the condition of the pastur

this summer advantageously, are most
fattering.
At the Sioux City, Ia, public sale last
week, fortynine head of short horn cat
tie sold at an average of S65. There
were only five Holstein-Fresian cattle
that brought $50, when the sale was
stopped.
Col. P. E. Stafford, of Columbus, Tex,
has a contract with an English syndicate
to furnish 1000 cattle dressed per week,
to average 700 pounds net. He will be-
gin killing about the first of August, and
says there are plenty of good beef cattle
along the pass road to fill his orders.
1t should be remembered that the
cheapest growth is made on young ami
mails; after the maturing period the cost
of gain increases rapidly. If we double
the time needed to grow a hog, about
three-fourths of the food is needed for
maintenance. whereas but little more
than one-half of the feed need go for
maintenance. By doubling the time of
feeding we have the profit Of feeding.

The German demand for indemnity
from the natives of Samoa for losses sus-
tanned, the result of arbitrary assump-
ton of authority and unwarranted ag-
gressions against the said natives, is an
exhibition of superlative assurance even
if the natives were abundantly able to
pay, but such demand in the face of
an appeal for assistance from the out
side world to prevent actual suffering
and starvation is beyond compare for
gall. What any country wants with
such dependencies that cannot but be

not be done sometimes on account of the
weather. Raspberries, black berries.
currants, cherries. tomatoes and quite a
number of fruits and vegetables can be
dried and stored away for use during
the winter; while all the larger fruits
peaches, pears, apples, ounces, plums
and in fact all kinds of three fruits-can
be evaporated and the quality be supe-
rior to sun-dried.
The cost of small evaporation Is low
and can be returned in one season. There
are quite number of different kinds, SO
that purchaser ought to be able to Sc
cure good one, and the size should be
gagged by the amount of fruit TO be
handled. 1t is best, however, to get one
full large rather than one that IS too
small The difference in the cost is a
small item. 1t is also good economy to
purchase in good season so as to have
ready to use when the first fruit ripens
in order to get the full benefit.

Odds and Ends,

The alfalfa harvest has begun and vast
ricks of this nutritious forage Is being
piled up for winter use, and for ship

Sumner County Press: 1t looks as
though Sumner county farmers would
rake in couple of million dollars for
wheat the coming fall and have some
fifteen bushels left for each man, woman
and child in the county. If it puns out
anywhere near this figure Sumner
county people will be on top.
Judge Bailey informs us that he will
raise quite a crop of pie MELONS this

patch last year and found them equal to
beets. His COWS ate them readily and
produced and equal quantity of milk as

Burlington Independent: There never
were such prospects for fruit, grain and

thing seems to be booming. &. The
Oldest settlers say that this is the earliest

Fruit Evaporators.

From personal experience these can
be well recommended. Every fruiIgrow-
er or farmer who raises supply OF fruit
for family use should have good fruit
evaporator. 1t may not always be adj
visable to purchase one of the larger
sizes with furnace complete in itself
but where large amount Of fruit is
raised they can be made very profitable,
for at any time when the prices set so
low that it does not pay 20 ship and sell,
the fruit can be evaporated. and In this

fruit is saved so that it can Dc marketed

The Scientific American says that the
corrected time of the City of Paris on her
first trip, was days and II hours. This
is better than her second trip, which has
been stated as being the fastest on re-
cord. 1t is not many years since the ten
day limit for the ocean steamers was
about the time expected, and when it
fell below seven, the world looked in
surprise at such fast sailing. 1t may
reasonably be expected that five days
will yet be sufficient time for a voyage
from New York to Liverpool, and with
our overland fast specials, one may hope
for comfortable ten days trip from the
Pacific coast to the British shore.

A Chiid's Love of Naturei

There are many pieces of sheer good
fortune for children of luck in this
world: it is well to have been born
rich or handsome, or to have the talents
which command the prizes of life. But
it is perhaps no less happy and supreme
gift to have been born a child of the
universe; to have known in early child
hood brooks, mountains, and the sea; to
have felt the companionship of the sky,
and in listening to its thunder to have
heard deep calling unto deep. There
is often an incommunicable and half
unconscious sense of these things in
the heart of child, wholly apart from
say training or habit of observation.
1t is seed which any soil will quicken;
the commonest landscape will be food
for it as fine as the Alps. In fact.
there is sometimes with the child as
with the artist sort of instructive
selection of .ile humber phase. Among
the memories of journey through
Switzerland in my childhood, that of a
woodland bank at Rosenlani, covered
with moss and with tiny pink flowers,
remains to me as having afforded at
least as keen pleasure as the glacier
itself, and the image of Mont Blanc
had no power to eface the delights of
the ''spring lot" The power upon US
of scene or thought lies partly in the
extent of our intimacy with it.

Though now unpopulated, it is pro-

water, and finally of deep blue lakes,
at least one of which is of large and as
yet unknown extent. A great rail-

The Cheer of the Trenton.

Our anchors drag and our cables surge
At every shock Of the hurting sea,
While the mist of the breakers wells the verge
OF the reef of coral under our lee,
From the east by north to the north-north-
west
The wild typhoon veers sweep on sweep.
And from moment to moment the cross
waves crest
Buries our waist in its sidelong leap.
Under the blows of our plunging screw
The whitening breakers foam pnd churn,
But for all that steam and steel can 90
We are drifting slowly astern, astern!
On our starboard quarter close aboard
We see the stanch Calllope loom,
While the black flood, from her snokestack
poured,
Covers the sec like pail of doom.
Her topmasts struck and her yards braced
She is headed out for the open main,
While her shrouds like the strings of a giants
harp,
Scream TO the touch of the hurricane.
We from the flagship Trenton's decks
Are watching her battle in hope and dread
AS she threads the throng of the tossing
wrecks,
Now beaten backward, now forging ahead.
She with the red-cross ensign aloft,
And we, oar starry banner below,
Lie beam 10 beam, as friRateS oft
Ranged in old s-a fights long ago.
We watch the weight of the tempest fall
On her flooded decks and her reeling bow.
And our hearts are beating one and all,
For we both go down should she foul US
now.
Through the darkest night there's CLEAN to
break:
Fathom by fathom she forges past,
Till we know by the swirl of her eddying wake
That her seaward struggle is won at last.
The Admiral tosses his sea cap high,
As from station to station is passed the word,
And over the uproar OF wave and sky
The thunder roll of our cheer is heard.
And back from the Britou's taffrail came
he gallant, grateful, and proud reply,
That stirred our hearts like pulse OF fame,
The seaman's and brothers last goOd-by.
o blood is thicker than water, and long
Will England's memory hold it dear,
And the tale be told in fo'castle song
OF the flagship Trenton's parting cheer.

BUILDING RoCKERIEs.-One of the
greatest errors made in building rocker
les consists in making stiff and formal
pile of stones. The principal beauty of a
rockery comes from the rough and rug
ged appearance, vet it is possible to over
do it even in this respect, and it should
be the aim to initiate the very best speci-
mems of wild natural scenery. think it
is better to make up O mound of rich
earth with some coarse material to pre-
vent it from being to compact, and place
the stones afterwards, filling earth among
them. This allows more root room than
beginning at the bottom with stones -
