PYRAMID PARK.

I dislike exceedingly to use the title
Bad Lands in connection with the won.
derful region found in Western North
Dakota, just beyond Dickinson. I dis
like it more than ever since making a
hasty tour of portion Of it. The
sculptured lands is the way l like to
think of them, for nature has carved
out here, on u most magnificent scale,
such a medley Of buttes, cliffs, bluffs,
crags, and pyramids, to say nothing of
small stone and clay designs, that one
almost stands aghast when riding
through the weird, bewitched land
Pyramid Park is another name given
to it, and very appropriately fits it.
Those who live within it's bounds,
whose herds Of horses and cattle Craze
upon it's thousands of hills, feel that
they are the good lands. Such Il wrong
impression does the name Bad Lands
give Of this country that l never use
it without a mental protest at so doing
TO the tourist, the interesting feature
of Pyramid Park is Of course the
strange conliguralion and coloring OF
its cliffs and hills. Nowhere else IN
this country can be seen such landscape
architecture. Unless the study OF ma
ture has been sadly neglected, one will
here find sermons in stones, and songs
in running brooks.
The Park may be said TO follow In
general way the line OF the Little

The process of manufacture is Who'll
ly a mechanical one, ard the abundant
water power of Maine has made the
cost of manufacture very small. Then,
too, the same factory is not infre-
quently used for other purposes during
a portion of the year. l remember Wis
iting one factory where, during the
winter, a cleaning mill was run for
clover seed. and in another excelsior
was manufactured from poplar. at
another l was told an apparatus was
put in and raspberries evaporated for
market, and, little later, early ap-
pies. This would suggest that many
small industries might be carried on
in connection with the starch indus
try. The pulp might be converted
into vinegar, acetic acid or liquors.
Fed fresh. the pulp makes good
feed for fattening stock.
From Aroostook county. Maine, l
gather statistics as follows: The av-
erage yield of potatoes for this county
is about 200 bushels per acre, and the
cost Of growing. etc, Is cents per
bushel. When the price paid at the
factory is 20 cents or more per bushel,
farmers consider it very profitable
crop, though quite eXhausting to the
soil when grown continuously. One
year in three is as often as potatoes
should be grown upon land. the rota-
ton being potatoes. followed by grains
and seeded, to be followed by grass.
The cost OF manufacturing starch,
including casks, putting up. freight
and commissions averages about l
cent per pound.
The price realized for starch varies
with the supply Just at present the
Eastern markets are heavily stocked
and the price is 2 81 cents per pound.
The average factory of Aroostook
county costs. fully equipped. about
$1,000, and has a capacity Of eight
tons of starch daily.
One bushel Of potatoes contains
about 1875 pounds of starch. Of which
8 or pounds are recovered in manu-
featuring.
In the manufacture of starch the
water must be free from salts Of iron
algae and ferments. The presence OF
much organic or SUSPENDED matter
renders the water suspicious. Lime
water added to the water, and then al
lowing it to settle, will generally i'm
prove such water THE manufacture

Zach succeeding year verifies the
fact that too much has never been
said in favor of our Northwestern
states.

We will say that there is to-day IL
