Fat Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
st. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash-Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
sleeper will leave St. Louis on Wabash train
No. 3, at go a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with a di.
rect connection for Denver, arriving at ll.3O
a. M. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between st. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at els.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only I'M
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col.
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on ap-
plication.

DIVIDING II BURDEN.
Bear Their Share of the Cost of
Improving Roads.

In the states in which a system of
state-aid has been ~inaugurated the ur-
ban resident bears his share of the eX-
pense of improving and maintaining the
highways, instead of leaving them, as
heretofore, to be cared for by the rural
population. Under the old theory that
the maintenance and care of the roads
should depend wholly on the districts
through which they passed, great in
justice was done many persons whose
interest in the roads was less than that
of others who bore no expense. To re-
move this injustice and provide al equa-
bic system is the purpose of the state
aid.
Speaking on this subject recently,
Gen. Stone said that the farmers OF

Lecture of a Novelist,

A well-known novelist delivered a lecture
v~ecently in which he read selections from
his own works. His reputation and the So
riety that engaged him brought together an
audience composed of the best people of the
neighborhood. After the lecture, when
people met, it was the proper thing for one
TO ask the other:
"Were you at the Lecturer" And the
answer in every case:
"Oh, yes! | was there, but I didn't hear
a word. Did you hear the lecturer
"Well, no. | was there, but l couldn't
hear, either"
A friend who met the novelist a few days
after his visit to the suburban town asked
him what kind of audience he had, and how
he liked the town.
ITS a fine place." was the reply, "and l
had the most attentive audience that | have
ever spoken to. No one made a sound, and

The quality of fruit is much improved

Give a thorough preparation before

In the garden and small fruit plat,
use 4 line to make the rows straight.
Remember mat one acre well tended
is worth half a dozen neglected.
Long, straight rows in the garden
are easily cultivated and kept free from

Give currants plenty of room and good
cultivation. Use white hellebore to
keep off the worms.
There is danger of injury 20 plants

Propagation by root cuttings is prac-
ticable and easy with plums, cherries

By keeping the soil firm and mellow
you make the plant food available so
it can be used by the plants.
1t is not too late yet to remov all

branches from fruit plants.
Maturing fruit tends to exhaust a
tree; hence the necessity of feeding

Avoid Raising Plug Horses

Never in the history of horse raising
was there a wider difference between
plugs and good horses. Farmers must
give as much thought to the selection
of both dam and sire as they do in the
breeding of cattle and other live stock.
A coach horse that will bring $500 is as
easily raised as a plug that will bring
but S45. Such a horse is useful on the
farm until the time when he is ready
for the market, ard can be used both to
the pillow and on the wagon. IN case
he lacks the style or action necessary
to bring a fancy price, he is still a gen.
eral purpose horse and will bring q
price that will be profitable to the
xaiser.-A. B. Clark, st. Louis Dealer.

The Color Question Again.

Butter should be colored to suit til.

general market demands that butter
should have a cOiCr, the year round

Doubtless any of the standard butter
colors are good. The coloring matter
should be put in the cream after it is
all ready for the churn. When the
butter will be nearly white if not col,
Ored as is often the case in winter,
about i teEspoonful of color is usually
needed for eight pounds of butter. In
summer, in times of drought and in the
fall, when COWS are partly on dry feed,
some coloring may be needed, but very
little. One will soon learn by expert
ence how much to use. 1t is we'll to be
cautious, as it is better to have too
little color than TOO much. Dakota

D H CALVES.
Unless They Make O Good Growth
During the First Summer They
Will Not Amount to Much.

The entire future of the animal usual.
~ depends on its first summer. This is
true of all farm stock and especially sc
of the calves. Unless they can be made
to make a good growth the first summer
they will never make as good animals as
they might and should, for every man
should try to do the best he possibly can
with his stock and crops.
The newborn calf should be allowed
to get his first feed from his dams I'D
der, as the accumulated milk in tina:
organ is in just the proper condition for
the first few days. After about three
days the milk assumes its natural con-
dition as it becomes fit for use, when
the calf should be removed from its
dam, and after that it usually has only
skim milk for its sole diet until il learns
to eat grass. The calf that has plenty of
skim milk gets along pretty well, but
as a rule there are other uses for this
On the farm, and it is more profitable
10 feed the milk TO something else and

LATEST NEWS FROM HAWAII.
The Coy Maiden Offering Favors Against

Shall Make Us One.

A FRANCISCO, May 25.-The steam
er Zelandia arrived last evening with
the following advices:
HONOLULU, May II.
Members of the cabinet refuse point
blank to deny or affirm the rumor that
this government had offered the isl.
ands to the American administration
as a base of operations in the war with
Spain. The details of a bill with the
same object in view have been received
and sent to the senate in secret session.
1t was drafted by friends of annexa,
ton to the United States. 1t was sent
to President Dole by the Hawaiian
representatives in Washington.
The members of the Hawaiian sen.
ate object to the bill, saying that ali
the republic can do or offer to do is
contained In the annexation treaty.
To pass the proposed bill or even to
consider 1t would SAVIOR of over-anxiety,
which would be very apt to defeat its
own purpose. President Dole has nc
power to cede the islands without
ratification by the Hawaiian legis
lature.
This country has not declared neu.
trality as yet and will probably not dc
So. In the meantime, the American
troops will be allowed directly and
openly by the government all the free.
dom of this port. They will be sold all
the food supplies and coal they can
carry off and will be rendered all the
assistance lying within the power OF
the people.
The Bennington is still at anchor in
the harbor. She is ready to go to see
at a moments notice.
\ second cable bill has been intro.
duced in the senate. 1t is in the form
of an amendment to the existing law
and will give the government the right
to grant an exclusive franchise to lay
a cable from Honolulu to Japan to any
other company, providing the Pacific
Cable Co. fails to secure the franchise
and subsidy from the United States.
Arrangements will be made for a fit.
ting reception for the troops passing
through here on their wal to Manila.
