MULTUM IN PARVO vICTUALs.

The story Is told Of an army officer, an
old Indian campaigner, who, when chas-
ing Indians, was In the habit of taking
his daily ration haphazard from his sad
die bags store.
He would plunge hand into the bag
and whatever no drew out. "unsight and
unseen," would be his provender for the
day. 1t might be a can of peaches, box
of sardines or Theoretically sealed roast
beef. Whatever 1t was, he breakfasted,
dined and supped Off it without seeking
further for side dishes.
Canned stuffs, developed so far that we
can buy baked beans and about every kind
OF goods in comm IN use as well as the lux
uries, Will in short time give place TO
condensed foods for long journeys far
afeld from supplies. Soups meats and
vegetables arc now available in extracts
that occupy a marvelously small space so
that one may carry tho reduced substance
of a course dinner in little packages, like
chewing gum, in ones vest pocket.
Meanwhile, experiments are being made
to learn how little the human body can
get along without ana stand It, A troop
of Uncle Sans cavalry recently took the
field for the testing of new emergency
ration" and the soldiers got along very
handsomely on what to tho luxurious
would seem to be. decidedly short COM
mons. The full ration as issued to the
troop was 10 ounces of hard bread, 10
ounces Of bacon. ounces OF coffee,
ounces Of poa-neal, ono half ounce of
salt, tyo-ffths of an ounce Of pepper, 4
grains OF saccharine, and one-half ounce
of tobacco Five of these rations were
issued to each man, and each troop,r sub
sisted for 10 days ON the Ave days ra-
tions.
Ii appears that tho men Of the troop had
lost each only three pounds in weight at
the end of 10 days. Add thus the test
was eminently satisfactory. Tho ration
was carried b9 each man, without pack
horses or supply wagons, and food for the
horses was carried in this way, too.
One gets new idea from this of the
really small amount Of food necessary to
human life. These hearty cavalrymen
certainly would be thought to require as
much food as the average citizen,
And tho ten days living only cost sight
and fve-eighths conts day for each man
though If they had eaten it all up in
the five days for which the rations were
provided 1t would have cost seventeen and
one-quarter cents per day per man.
Cheap living. Indeed, IL beats Edward
Atkinson at his own game.

THE PRICE OF TYPEwRITERs.

Will tho prico of typewriters take
tumble as that of bicycles bSs done-the
! latter having been cut from Sl35, the cost
of the early "safeties. 4" TO s75 for high
grade machines.
That Is a question Of public conse-
quence Light on IL Is shed by man
claiming TO have knowledge of thoStype-
writer business. In a communication TO d
New York newspaper -.
He states that there are no material
obstacles in the way Of the profitable
marketing of the highest grade, 500 type
writers for $50 retail. but he also declares,
paradoxical as it may seem, that tho
concern which attempts 10 must be pro-
pared TO make a better machine than 10
would need 70 If the retail price was fixed
at S10O - az
Is th ere a good deal of bluff in type
writer claims theny Is the retail price,
500, "a case ofswnter by reason of stand
ard namey
1t is declared that everything that en-
ters into the construction OF typewriter
is much lower in cost now than il was
fifteen years ago, when the price Of 500
was fixed: the cost OF labor Is not less per
man, but the output is much greater per
man, and the total cost per machine has
fallen about S3 l-3 per cent And another
arge gain for the credit side OF the busi-
ness hns been tho great increase in
demand
Tne retail prices ought to have fallen in
H..
and would navo done so but for two rea-
sons First, use and the great demand
for these instruments have entirely failed
TO crystalize the instrument in a standard
form which can be recognized as the
best. Customers exercise their fancy,
imagination, or prejudice when buying
typewriters. paying whatever price may
be charged for the particular brand Of
machine which they desire, and give little
attention TO the actual value received for
their money Secondly, mono Of the older
concerns was organized with view to
conducting the business economically; 4;
they all capitalized their patents and
future earnings TO such an extent that
the actual cash capital used in the busi-
ness was but IA small proportion of what
the officers were called upon to earn
dividends on.
+ The low priced typewriter has. it
would seem, cut wide swath In the
market. just as low priced wheels have
done In the bicycle field.
May we expect break in the 800 pro-
duction, some dayp
That probably depends upon the devel-
opment of the low priced competition.

RHODE ISLANDS AGRICULTURE.

According TO the government Year
Book. Rhode Island leads every state In
tho Union in the value of her horseflesh
per head
This State Is credited with the posses
sion of 10, 129 horses at an average value
of s75. 25 each. MASSACHUSETTS, is second on
the list and out in Oklahoma are found
the cheapest horses, worth sl3 9l per head
on an average, with total OF 80. 600.
Kentucky, famous for it's horsenesh,
actually does not lead in either number
of horses or average valuation. Texas,
Iowa and New York all lead the Blue
Grass State in numbers and the lat
ter in average price. The average price of
a horse in Texas Is only Sl7.7a. and yet 1t
is a hanging offense TO steal "A horse down
there
Rhode Island possesses no mules. Or
II she does there are not enough of them
to pay for making "a report on. Texas is
the champion mule state, as we'll as the
leading horse state.
Texas is the champion cattle state but
Is of less Importance in tho matter of
which is the leading cow state.
Rhode Island has fewer sheep than any
other state, but there are 10. 7l5 of them
in her borders. just the same. Rhode
Island is strong in hogs, though, with
142s0, thought this is nothing compared
to Illinois, OF course, with 2, 2i9 40l
rooters.
Rhode Island has SS4S acres 20 corn and
grows thereon 300. S33 bushels, enough TO
get in among the corn states which in
clude all but Nevada, Idaho and Arizona
and far ahead of number of her sister
corn growers. khode Island makes no
report on wheat Neither do Massa-
chusetts Connecticut, Florida or Louis
lana, though all of these produce corn.
Minnesota and California are the great
wheat-growing sections. with Kansas and
the Dakotas in the van. Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska lead in corn.
Rhode Island just gets into the oats
column at the foot with 1865 acres, yield
ing 112, $50 bushels And while eighteen
states and territories report no barley,
Rhode Island has 3Sl acres growing IL, 049
bushels. Rhode Island is up on potatoes
too. with 65ls acres and 6si. 800 bushels of
fat spuds, New York leading all others
with 73, $50 acres and 40, sos tons of hay,
Rhcde Island is well up on the list.
Evidently. within her modest limits of
area, Rhode Island is first rate agri-
cultural state, both as to quantity and
variety-and, Of course, quality.

Ready for Business

The Minnesota Beet Sugar Manufacturing
company will file articles Of incorporation with
the secretary of statesSwithin few days. and
it is probable that a factory will be built
between Minneapolis and ST. Paul
a- The company ~is~-the fruit of the agitation
which has been going on in behalf of the
beet sugar industry. The capital stock Of the
company is $4,000 in Fshares Of $50 each The
incorporates are: Theodore F. Kock, st.
Paul. John H. Smith, Detsoit, Mimi; Henry
Keller and R., j. O'ConRor, of Sauk Center.
IL is understood thatTfwe Wealthy Chicagoans
are interested in company representing
the Chicago Wholesale Grocers' association
which is completely at the mercy of the
sugar trust and Seek some avenue of escape.
A determined attempt will be made to Sc
cure the planting of enough seeds to justify
the erection of one Oretwo factories this year.
The promoters Of the company have already
interested the farmers Throughout the state
in the project and 1t is claimed that most sat
lsfactory assurances of support and co-opera-
tion have been received.
The sympathy for the movement Is espe-
cfally warm at Hastings, which city has al
ready offered a bonus for the erection of
factory there. From this 1t looks as though
the first factory, to cost $3.50 COO would be
located at that place
Senator Keller who has been particularly
active in behalf of the industry, presided at
a meeting yesterday in the senate chamber
the subject and steps were taken to foster the
planting of sugar beets in Minnesota Sew
eraI thousand pamphlets have been printed
in English, German and Scandinavian under
the direction Of Senator Keller, and they will
be distributed widely throughout the state.
The meeting resulted in the formation of
an association with the following officers:
President, Lieut.-Gov. John L. Gibbs; vice
president, Senator John H. Smith; secretary
ana treasurer, Senator Henry Keller.
