Machines that Count, Wrap and Tie.
Two of the most wonderful automata
now working within the limits Of the
United States, remarks the Argosy, are
those used by the government for
counting and tying postal cards into
small bundles. These machines are
made in Connecticut, and the two are
capable of counting the prodigious
number of 100000 such cards in ten
hours, and wrapping and tying the
same in packages of twenty-five each.
In this operation the paper is pulled
off drum by two long fingers which
come up from below, and another fin
ger dips into vat of mucilage and ap-
plies itself to the wrapping paper in
exactly the right spot. Other parts OF
the machine Irvine the paper around
the pack of cards, thumb presses
over the mucilage spot and the pack
age is thrown upon a delivery belt
'eady for delivery.

Pictures Drawn by Thumbnall.

In collections, centuries old, to be
seen in both China and Japan, are
specimens of the most remarkable
drawings in the world, pictures Of all
kinds drawn with the thumb-nail. The

to a foot or eighteen inches, and are

Make Only Honest Cheese.

An Iowa paper says: II we had been
making honest, full milk cheese in
every neighborhood in the land, and
refusing to let a pound Of 1t leave the
factories until it was ninety days old,
the home demand would, by this time,
have used more than is made in the
whole United States. This policy has
made local market around Ames for
more cheese than the college cream

tell you they like mild cheese best
hut such people do not eat much
cheese-they could not, because 1t is
not digestible. Then, If We had been
pursuing this course, the outside world
would be buying our cheese by the
ship loads, as they buy our beef and
pork. Luckily, the rascals Of COM
merce find no way to adulterate beef
and pork. We can export cheese much
more readily than fine butter, because

Adulterated Grass Seed.-Many Of our
grass seeds, as found in the market,
are not entirely true to name. A COM
mon method Of adulteratlon in this
case consists Of mixing seed Of wild or
otherwise inferior grasses with that

Good Poultry Exhibits.

We have noticed at some Of the fairs
this year that the poultry exhibits were
especially fine. We presume the same
is true Of most of the fairs we did not
visit. There certainly appears to be a
steady improvement in the character
of the birds shown. If all would visit
the poultry departments Of the fairs
much might be learned. There are
little improvements in feeding, water
ing and care that will more than repay
the close attention needed to discover
them. The poultry men are all the
time hitting on new devices and some
Of them are very original. A little
thing sometimes becomes a great con-
venience. The hard times have evil
IDENTIFY not discouraged the poultry
men. The large number of birds ex-
hibited shows concluslvely that the fu-
ture prospects are regarded as fairly
bright. 1t is probable that the hard
times have had less effect on the
poultry industry than most any other.

The attendance was not to exceed

Erie, except, perhaps, he was more
emphatic in his remarks about the
Kansas situation. He characterized
the action of the Abilene convention
as n betrayal of the Populist party
and an insult to him personally.

Mr. Watson said. He is a big

fought this Kansas arrangement to

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. l1.-Judge T.
f. Carver of the Kansas court of APP
peals handed down an opinion yester'
day IN which he holds that the Kansas
City Live Stock exchange is an illegal
body and that each member COM
mitted mlsdemeanor in joining the
association. The firm of Greer, Mills
& Co., of Kansas City, Kan, belonged
to the association and was convicted
of accepting lower commissions than
were recognized under the rules Of
the exchange. A fine of 81, 900 was
imposed which the firm refused to pay
and brought suit to prevent suspen-
sion. The case was tried in the Wyan-
dotte county district court on an APP
plication for injunction and the decis-
ion was against Greer, Mills & Co.
This decision is now affirmed by the
court of appeals.

places the apple crop of that section

it was last year. This estimate is be-
lieved by the fruit growers to be in eX-

They believe that the yield OF good
