Inc announcement created a sensation
in league circles as this is the first instance
in the history of the league where a prom

record as being willing to bet anything of
more value than a hat.
In view of the fact that Gideon has an

Eliott's effort to pose as a plunger bold

Gideon could not consistently allow his

an agreement with the New York dele

CO-OPERATIVE FARMING.

Cooperative farming is making some
progress in Great Britain, but does not
keep pace with the development of CO.
operative stores and factories. Of the
latter, including some cooperative
manufacturing or productive societies,
there are now nearly 1900, with about
800, 900 members, nearly $9O,O00,0 900 Of
share capital and $20,0O0,000 of loan
capital and an annual trade or sales Of
nearly O,OOO, 900, upon which the profit
is over $4,000, 900. During the past 35
years these workingmen's cooperative
societies have earned for their men,
bers, profits amounting to nearly $780,
0O,OOO, and have done business of
over $4,000, 100000. There are IL So
cieties for cooperative farming in Eng
land, with 4,500 members, and share
loan capital of $2S5, 900, their sales be-
ing nearly 100000 a year. and their
profits about $9,000 annually. Ireland

tion Of the well with the exception of a
small hole at the top or arch. through
which the water could be seen. Now
broken stone was used to level up with
top of arch. and on top of this was laid
a good sized fiat stone three inches thick
with three inch hole drilled through
the center, so the only possible way of
reaching the water was through the
three-inch hole. Went to timers and
had a five inch casing made of extra
heavy galvanized iron riveted together
solid in one piece and long enough go
that when that stood upon one end on the
fiat stone, directly over the hole, the top
reached a foot higher than the surface
of the ground surrounding the we'll. or
top of the pump platform to come. The
casing was plumbed, held in position by
temporary braces at the top while the
we'll was being filled full of earth pre-
VlOuSly tdhCu 1TOUl IL. n Two
feet square and two inches thick was
made, and f1ve-inch hole cut through
the center of it. so The casing projected
about an inch above the platform. The
hole in platform must be cut true and fit
casing perfectly SO nothing can pass up
between. The pump pipe was now passed
down through casing through hole
in rock, but was not allowed to go within
the cylinder being SO placed that it rests
Just above the fiat stone on top OF arch.
The pump head was then screwed onto
the pipe and fastened tightly to the
platform. AS the earth settled away the
pump rested directly on top of the cas-
ing, and does yet, although the earth was
filled in under platform from time to
time until all was thoroughly settled.
OF course We cannot get into this well
to clean it out, but where nothing can
get in. what will there ever be to clean
out? The water is always pure and
clean, and cold, and no one need hesitate
to drink it in the dark.

S. B. Lovejoy has just received very in
teresting letter from his brother-in-law,
Capt. Alfred S. Morgan, Co. J.. 18th Mimi,
stationed at Manila, in which are a number
of statements which will be read with great
interest. Capt. Morgan gives quite an ex-
tensive description Of the country which in
the main is quite favorable. The particular
drawback seems to be the heat. At the
present Time he says. the mercury registers
an even 100 in the shade, with hardly a vari-
alton between sunrise and sunset. Heavy
dews fall each night and tbs humidity of the
atmosphere is such that pair Of shoes will
show mold II left outside over night.
He gives 1t as his opinion that the United
States should only retain the island OF
LuzOn, upon which the city of Manila is
situated. In the other islands there are no
white people at the present time, and the
savages have matters in their own hands.
He seems to believe that the task of spread
ing civilization among these natives would
be too great for profit.
Regarding the future Of Manila under the
protection of the stars and stripes, Capt.
Morgan is somewhat enthusiastic. He says
that the city contains about 3J9,O00 inhabi-
tants, of which number only 5000 are
Caucasian. In addition there are 1900
Spanish and 1900 American soldiers. The
harbor of Manila he describes as the finest
in the world, being over 80 miles long, and
deep that with but little dredg-
ing the largest ocean liner could
reach the city. Coffee indigo and sugar
the principal products, and upon sugar there
is an immense profit. The country is prac-
tically undeveloped in any but agricul-
tural sense, and has factories of any
kind. Manufactured articles of all kinds
have to be imported, and the market which
will be opened up under American rule will
be immense.
Capt. Morgan writes that it is his belief
that just as soon as the United States as
sumes control of the Philippines. the country
will begin to boom, and the chances for in
vestment will be of the best. A man with
capital will be able to make great profits
as long as the boom lasts.
Co l. is doing police duty, along with
others of the 18th Mimi. and the sanitary
condition Of the city Capt. Morgan describes
little less than horrible. 1t is remark
able for such large city, but it contains
not single sewer, and is absolutely
provided with drainage facilities To this
may be attributed great deal of the illness

HE WANTS THE EARTH
John ID. Rockefeller Is Now Trying to
Control the Copper Mines of the
United States..

CHICAGO, Nov 3O-A special from New
York says: Wall street hears story that
comes by way Of Boston, that John D.
Rockefeller is trying to gain control Of the
entire copper mining industry Of the United
States.
According to this Boston story, John D.
Rockefeller intends to control all the copper
mines in the great Northwest, and use them
as feeders for his great transportation line
across the great lakes to the Atlantic sea-
board. Some color is added to this story by
the great activity on the Boston stock ex-
change of the stock of the mines in Butte,
Mont, which, it is said, Mr.. Rockefeller de-
sires to first secure.
These mines produce 150, ,O00, 600 pounds Of
copper yearly and are the principal factors
in the copper industry of the United States.
All signs point to his having already secured
a majority of the stock in the Butte & Bos-
ton Mining company. Boston financiers
declare that Mr.. Pockefeller's agents are
now trying to buy the Anaconda mine from
James B. Haggn in this city, and the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing company from A. Au-
gustus Heinz of 100 Broadway. With these
two companies in his control, it is believed
that 1t would not be difficult for Mr.. Rookie
feller to force the great Boston & Montana
mine to come to his terms
1t is asserted that Mr. Rockefeler's agents
have offered $500 a share for controlling
interest in the Calumet & Hecla.
Copper is now selling for 13 cents per
pound, the highest price for many years.

FEEDING HORSES,

Horses differ greatly in their capacity
to eat and digest food, and in this re-
spect the individuality of each animal
should be carefully studied by the at
tendant. We find that in a number of
horses of the same class and weight,
some animals will require much more
hay than others in order to keep them
In the same condition while receiving
same quantities of grain. But in no
case should horse be given more hay
than he will eat in, at most, one and a
half hours. The capacity some
horses have for eating appears to be al
most without limit-they will eat, eat,
eat, eat almost constantly while in the
stable; while others are almost the re-
verse, they will not eat quite enough to
satisfy our ideas as to what a horse
should eat. But in the specified time,
lone and one-half hours) a heavy feed
er will have eaten all that he can digest
properly, and light feeder will have
taken all he will eat. The man who
feeds the horses can very soon tell about
the quantity to give each animal. and
II any be left when the time is up it
should be removed. or the horses taken
out to work, which amounts to the
same thing.
The horse should not have food before
him between meals; if so he will sali-
vate and breathe upon it, and it be-
comes more or less foul, and he will eat
more or less, and will not be hungry at
the next feeding time. In order that
horse or, In fact, any animal, may
thoroughly enjoy meal and digest it's
food properly, certain degree of hun
ger must be experienced Some horses
will eat too much hay if allowed to
others will not. A reasonable quantity
should be given at each meal; for
horses used for quick work I prefer
feeding hay only twice daily; horses
used at slow work are probably better
fed three times.-Farming.
