The Chicago Times-Herald of August
q says that on September II the new
traffic alliance between the Chicago, Mil.
waullce & st. Paul railway and the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway goes into eff
feet, and on that date the former will send
its first Denver sleeper out of Chicago. This
will be attached to its regular night train for
Omaha, and will be delivered there to the
Rock Island. On October the tourist car
route over these two lines, the Colorado
Midland and Southern Pacific will be inau
gurated. Tourist cars will be run once a
week between Chicago and San Francisco.

Micliirnn Crnns.

Lansing. Mich, Sept. IL. - For the
Michigan crop report for September
correspondents secured from threshers
the results of 3,757 jobs, aggregating
more than $4,000 acres of wheat
thrashed, the yield from which was
l ,091 ,4S3 bushels, an average of 1913
bushels to the acre. IN the southern
counties more than $4,000 acres
threshed averaged 1874 bushels an acre
In the central counties the average is
14.O2 bushels and i'm the northern coun-
ties 1873 bushels. The area in wheat in
the state last May as compiled from the
returns of supervisors was 1,j13.019
acres. This is the probable acreage
that was harvested this year. The crop
this year is the largest produced since
1892. when the yield exceeded 100000 900
bushels. Threshers' returns indicate
that oats will yield about % bushels and
barley about 10 bushels an acre. The
figures for oats are five bushels below
and for barley two bushels below the
estimate one year ago.
Corn made slow growth in August,
but it has not been damaged by frost
and there is good reason to expect a
good and well-matured crop. The dry
weather has undoubtedly injured pota-
toes, but the extent of damage cannot
now be estimated. Beans are estimated
to yield 81 per cent. of an average crop.
Apples and peaches are very light crops:
neither will yield more than one-ffth to
one-fourth of an average crop.

Surprise for Members.

Grand Rapids, Sept. 1O.-An unpleas-

of the Michigan Masonic Life associa-
ton, which went into the hands of a
receiver at its own request last winter.
Circuit Judge Grove will, in a few days,
issue a decree assessing each member
500 to clear up the liabilities. 1t is adj
mitted that the assessment cannot be
collected from more than one-third of
the members owing to their financial

TOOK BRYAN'S ADVICE.
One Farmer Who Has Got Enough of
the boy Orator.

James Shuman is Il farmer who lives
near Anderson, Ind, and every year
he raises several hundred bushels of
wheat. During the presidential cam
paign of last year Farmer Shuman
heard w. j. Bryan, the free silver and
popocratic candidate, make a couple of
speeches at Indianapolis and Anderson,
and he was particularly impressed with
the extreme earnestness and great pos
tiveness with which that know-it-all
statesman declared that if Mckinley
was elected the price of wheat would
go down, as a result of the decreased
value of silver.
So Farmer Shuman resolved to act
on Mr.. Bryan's opinion about wheat
and dispose of his 1897 crop in advance
and before the price fell, provided Nc
Kinlcy was elected.
Mckinley was elected, and when. on
the day after election, a firm of sound
money men-the Shetterlys, of Lapel,
Ind.-offered to buy Farmer Shuman's
1897 wheat crop, he contracted to de-
liver it to them at So cents per bushel,
and congratulated himself on his fore
sight in taking Mr.. Bryan's advice and
in making such n good bargain.
Farmer Shuman was called on to de-
liver the first so bushels of his 1897
wheat at So cents bushel about two
weeks ago, on day when his neigh
bors were selling their grain to millers
and dealers at one dollar per bushel in
cash. He will fulfill his contract, of
course, as any other honest man would
do, but it will be some little time be-
fore he again listens to the advice or
opinions of w. j. Bryan or his fellow
popocrats. - Cincinnati Commercial

The Nicaragua Canal.

Young Student asks for some infor-
nation about the Nicaragua Canal.
Answer: The object of this waterway
was to connect the Atlantic and Pa
c1t1c oceans. The waters of the lake
from which the project takes it's name
were to be used and the distance to be
traversed was about ITO miles. The
estimated cost of the enterprise, about
one hundred and thirty-three and one
half million dollars, seems very large
sum to expend for such a purpose, but
it is claimed that the saving Of distance
In transportation will more than make
up for it. According to surveys, the
distance from New York to San Fran
cisco by water is 1862 miles. BY the
canal it will be 1856 miles. This makes
saving Of over 10000 miles on the
round trip. BY the canal the distance
from New York to the Pacific ocean
is 2,519 miles; by the Northern Pa
cific railroad, 1927 miles; by Central
Pacific, 3,269; by Canadian Pacific, g.
61a; by Southern Pacific, 3,709; to
Cape Horn, 1887 miles. Adding to the
shortness of distance the lesser risk
by inland than outside transportation
and the advantages of such a cutoff
are at once apparent.

Natures Engraving-Stoue.

For many years the greatest source
of the fine grained stone used in litho-
graphy has been the Quarries at Solen-
hofen, in Bavaria. These Quarries pos
sess particular interest, because in
them have been discovered remains Of
exceedingly strange and rare prehis-
toric animals, such as some of the fly
ing reptiles that once dwelt In Europe,
but have now disappeared from the
earth. The science of geology has
gained much from these fossils, which,
flattened and compressed, and leaving
their Impressions in the rock, might be
likened to engravings from natures
own hand, whereby she has handed
down to us pictures of world whose
antiquity extends far beyond the limits
of human memory or human history.
Recently it has been stated that the
Solenhofen quarries are approaching
exhaustion, and that new source OF
supply of photographic stone is needed
1t is gratifying to know that our own
country may supply the want, excellent
stone of the kind required being found
in Tennessee. In the meantime, in
Germany, the possibility of substitut.
ing aluminium for Solenhofen stone il

Trellising Tomatoes.

When we grow tomatoes for market
at ordinary prices we must economize
in cost of production in every way
possible, and trellising the plants
would be out of the question, but when
it comes to the home garden I regu-
larly every season trellis at least few
plants, as they can be made great
ornamental feature of the grounds,
writes T. Grenier in exchange. A to-
mato plant ladened with it's glossy,
high-colored fruit is pretty object
anyway, and a row of them, we'll held
up, trimmed and tied. is really a
sight, One of the easiest ways of
supporting a tomato plant for such ef-
feet (and this is my favorite way) is to
simply stake it, and keep it trimmed to
a single stalk. The stake may consist
of a plain bean-pole, seven or eight
feet high, or of sawed stick, say two
inches square and eight feet long. Be
sure to set these stakes in straight
line, and all uniformly perpendicular,
or, perhaps, slightly leaning. Then
trim the plants to one or two stalks,
uniformly. Keep all branches nipped
off. Tie the stalks and especially the
fruit clusters, with soft string, as for
instance, strips Of muslin, calico, or the
like. and see what an ornament this
tomato patch" will be to your gar
den.

Bulletin 10, Idaho Experiment Sta
ton:
Descriptive.-This popular and valu-
able vegetable needs but very little de-
scription. It is a native of Europe,
where it may be found growing wild
along the borders of sea marshes. Ger
tain species are grown as ornamental
plants. The undeveloped stem is the
part used as food.
Culture by means Of
seed. The seed may be bought of seed
dealers or taken from the small red
berries found in autumn upon the
mature stems of old plants. If the
latter method is adopted proceed in the
following manner: Select the largest
and incest branches; pick~off the ber-
ries and gently mash; wash out the
pulp with water and dry the seed.
Sow the seed in early spring in rows
wide enough to permit cultivation.
Plants should stand about 3 to inches
apart. Select rather rich soil for the
seed bed. The young plants may be
transplanted in the permanent bed the
following spring, or the transplanting
may be deferred until the second
spring. Too much care can not be
given to the preparation of the per-
manent bed. Select an open situation
where plenty of sunshine falls. Natur-
ally, the plant prefers a damp situa-
ton, but can be made to thrive very
we'll on dry soil, if proper cultivation
is given. The soil should be rich. Sub
soil or trench the bed, adding large
quantities of manure (well rotted COW
dung is ~preferred). If the plantation
is large the rows should be at least 2
feet apart. Put the plants IL inches
apart. The roots OF the plant must be
spread out equally in all directions
This is best attained by constructing q
small mound of earth in. the center
of the hole, place the plant upon the
top of the mound and let the roots
extend down the sides. Cover with
earth and firm with the foot. The
crown of the plant should be two
inches under ground. During the grow.
ing season cultivate and keep dow1
all weeds. At end of season cut of
the tops and cover the bed with coarse
manure. Remove the litter in early
spring. Cut the young shoots at thu
surface of the ground using a strong
bladed knife.
