Affairs to turn out last Saturday and
vote on the question of bonding the
county for the purpose of funding the

ON the basis OF the vote at the last gen.

whether the county was bonded or not
A number Of voters who live right in

THERE is considerable complaint
among the farmers that they are not get
ting sufficient water on account OF the
deluslon connected with the new unit Of
measurement 1t is suspected that the
cubic foot per secoud idea was worked
up by the canal companies in order
that they might charge more for
water without appearing to do so. In
stead Of doubling the price, the supply
has been cut in two. so that the cost to
the farmer per acre is just the same as
though the price had been doubled.
This is wat some Of the canal people
gleefully describe as getting the soup
into the grangeIs. The grangers are
preparing 20 handle the syringe them
selves and the gentlemen of the canals
may have to take few injections Of
their own mixture before the medica-
ton ceases. The grangers are not very
expert with that class of surgical in
struments but when once they get hold
Of the breech end they can pump soup
into a rotten proposition with deal of
vigor and enterprising tenacity.-Cald-

Corn is OH great stanIe. 1t is q dis

Corn is our great staple. 1t is dis
tinctively, almost an exclusively, Amer
lean product, and in value our corn
crop is worth more than any other crop
we raise. This is apparently to be the
greatest corn year ever known, and
the season is now so far advanced as
to reduce chances Of disaster to min
imum. In 1891 we raised the greatest
corn crop ever grown, but we are going
to render it insignificant this year. In
1891 corn covered 76,2O4,O0O acres and
yielded an average of q bushels to the
acre. This year the corn fields amount
to S2,3O4, 900 acres, or 100000 more
than in 1891, and all reports indicate
a larger yield per acre than in that
year. But at the same average yield
the crop will amount to 1922. POS, 900
two billion two hundred and twenty
two million two hundred and eight
thousand bushels! Corn is WORTH about
SO cents bushel, not only in the mar
kets, but in the feeding of hogs This
crop will therefore add Sill, 100000
to the country's wealth. Think of it!
More than a billion dollars of actual
wealth produced in a single year in the
shape of single crop! Who doubts
the prosperity of the great Republic?

The form of bicycling is beginning
to be studied (says the New York

horseback; it is probably only a ques-

with her other accomplishments to Sc

woman who wishes to ride la mode
has to know a number Of little things
that are overlooked by another woman,
just as the smart set have a code for
riding and that is as memorable as that
they should not eat with their knives
or put sugar on oysters. Society in
sists on an upright position, with, of
course, no attempt at racing pace. 1t
also frowns upon constant ringing OF
the bell-that will do for the vulgar
herd who delight in noise; the well-in-
formed wheelwoman keeps eye and ear
alert, and touches her bell rarely. She
dresses daintily and inconspicuously-
effaces herself, in fact-as much in
this exercise as she does in all public
places

history Of eggs, farmers employed
primitive methods for the preservation
of eggs in store for the winter months,
when the supply is almost cut off and
the market price abnormally high. In
January the price often used to run as
high as so and 60 cents dozen, while
in the spring and early summer the
supply was a drug and dear at from 4
to cents The eggs were packed in
oats or sawdust and also in preserving
fluids. This process was far from sat
isfactory. The preserving fluids had
tendency to weaken the shells. A
process came into use by which the
eggs were dried by artificial heat and
ground up into the shape of meal for
packing. Such egg meal found favor
with bakers and was practicable for
use on ocean vessels. The cold storage
system Of preservation was hit upon,
and it has assumed vast proportions,
millions of dollars being expended in
plants. Notwithstanding alleged dis
coveries by which eggs can be manu-
featured, no process has been found
successful up to date. No egg has ever
been manufactured except at a great
er cost than the production of the nat
ural one.

Economic Uses for the Sunflower,

Economic Uses for the Sunf1ower.
The common tall sunflower is said to
have derived it's name from its resem-
blance to the radiant beams of the sun.
This flower is turned to many economi-
cal uses. 1t furnishes the finest honey
and wax. When the seed is crushed
as linseed it will produce the finest oil
in larger quantities in proportion to any
other seed for the table as we'll as
painter, particularly in mixing green
and blue paints.
The cake is superior to linseed for
fattening cattle; the oil makes most eX-
cellent soap, very softening to the hands
and face, and better than any other for
shaving. Sheep, pigs, pigeons, rabbits
and poultry of all sorts will fatten rap
idly upon the seed, pheasants i'll par

plumage and plumper in body. And
when shelled and ground it makes the
finest kind of -four for bread, especially

the audacioUs ignorance and criminal
carelessness of the people that use
them. The gasoline stove, which is be-
ing denounced in so many quarters as
a devouring monster, will, If properly
approached, develop into one of the
best friends the housewife can possess.
And the gasoline stove will be firm
treated with due amount of attention.
But just as soon as you begin treating
it too Familiarity or carelessly, there's
liable to be trouble. And, as the small
boy says on the Fourth when the rock.

look out for the stick''
Don't is a good word to use in con-
nectiOn with gasoline, and in view Of
some recent happenings resulting from
experiments with the modern engine
of destruction-the gasoline stove-a
few "don'ts' said to be handy have
been compiled. 1t is suggested these
''don'ts'' be put in a neat frame and
hung where the queens of the kitchen
can see them not less than 200 times q
day. Here is the list.
Don't get careless.
Don't expose gasoline in q room
where there is any kind of open fire.
Don't stand by lighted lamp when
you clean your gloves with gasoline.
You may not be able to wear the gloves
short Of two months.
Don't put the tank on the stove when
you fill it. The tank will be found
afterwards, but it is doubtful if you
will be.
Don't fill the tank when the burners
are lit. 1t has been tried often with in
different results.
Don't try to operate the stove if you
don't thoroughly understand it. They
can send man from the hardware
store cheaper than from the undertak-
ers shop.
Don't be in hurry with gasoline. 1t
is several hundred times quicker than
you are. anyhow.
Don't light the burners after the
pipes have leaked over everything. A
flame six feet wide is not handy to
cook with.
Don't use your gasoline stove after
it is old and leaky. New stoves cost
money So do collins.
Don't think there is any special dis
pensation of Providence to protect you
from the consequences of a careless act
You will be surprised when you find
that you are not a salamander, and
that a gasoline fame is no respecter Of
persons.

There are a good many ways of escap-
ing the new woman" but the plan
adopted by Millionaire John D. Bates,
of Boston, commends itself as original
and unique. Millionaire Bates has
treated the 400 of Back Bay to terri
BILE shock by marrying his cook, a
young Irish woman who is nearly thirty
years his junior. OF course not all
young men have manageable cooks in
their employ, and the humiliating ac-
acknowledgement must be made that not
all Of them would be accepted by the
cooks, for it is fact that the science OF
cookery to-day requires high order of
constructive genius, and the refusal OF
ifty-dollar cook to accept a seven
dollar college graduate is not to be
wondered at.

Blame the Bicycle.

The bicycle is now held responsible
for the falling off in the sale of books
which has recently been noted by deal
ers. The, French booksellers assert
their trade has been badly affected,
and even on this side of the ocean the
same result is apparent But there is
no good reason as yet to condemn bicy-
cling because it has become SO formid-
able an opponent Of the reading habit
There is no doubt that the latter has
been oyerdone by many persons WHO
will be greatly benefited by judicious
exercise, which is not carried to an ex
treme. When winter comes and wheel
ing is no longer practicable the books
will be taken up with all the more zest.

Attacked by Dogs.

the whole pack of thirteen hungry dogs,
snarling, swapping and showing their
sharp teeth like drove of ravenous

The magnitude of the egg product OF
the United States is vaguely understood
by those not directly in the trade. Inc
leading cities Of the country consumed
GOO, 600, 900 dozens last year. Laying
them end to end, they would form
line 17O, 454 miles long. In other words,
they would stretch around the Worid
over seven times, and would go around
it once forming band fourteen inches
wide. The product handled Tor dally

price of II cents dozen, makes total
of over $1OO,OOO,OOO, while the value

Eggs are used in many ways that the
general public seldom thinks OF. II
the hen should stop laying, not only
would the gourmand suffer, but the
arts would come in for large share
of hardship. The number of eggs used
by photographers, artists, painters ana
paper-hangers, bookbinders, and chem
lists, and in the mechanical arts in gen.
eral, is something enormous. Even the
poor, despised bad egg has come to be
a necessity for certain uses other than
those Of the stage. A few years ago,
it was discovered that the yolk and de-
cayed parts made the finest prepare
tons for finishing leather. When prop
