AARON JONES, of Indiana, National
Grange master, testified before the in
dustrial commission at Washington a
few days ago. He expressed the opin-
ion that transportation was the most
important question with which the
farmer had TO deal. He also asserted
that .he trusts should be controlled.
Another reform he suggested was the
lowering of the salaries of the govern
ment officials. He made the statement
that the farmer is unfairly and inequi-
tably taxed, one-fourth to one-third of
the income OF the average farm in In
diana being necessary to pay the taxes
levied upon it

Ex-Gov. MERRIAM, of Minnesota, the
new director of the census, stated q
few days ago that he hoped to get the
organization started by April l. The
statisticians will be selected from
among the best men engaged in that
work in the country. The 800 super.
visors will not be appointed before
next December /. as the enumera-
tion does not begin before June /,
1900 The whole plan, he said, was to
accomplish the work as expeditiously
as possible, and not to take on an inn
mense number of lines of inquiry
which make the census drag on for q
long period.

Mr. EssESDRUP, the Swedish con-
sui in ST. Louis, is perfecting an or
ganization for the purpose of coloniz.
ing the vacant land in Missouri with
Scandinavian immigrants He says:
THE Scandinavian people are not sat
isfied in the northwestern states, as the
climate Is too severe and there are too
many crop failures. The climate of
Missouri will just about suit them,
and there are about 5000, 900 acres of
vacant lands in the state which are
desirable for agricultural purposes.
The northwest is pretty well settled
and there is very little vacant land
left for colonization

A Rare Sight Indeed.

An experiment, the result of which
will be watched with great interest by
a large number of prominent scien-
lists and others in Louisiana, is the
effort to induce the sugar cane to
blossom and become seed. In tropi-
cal climates, sugar cane, in three
years, blossoms and goes to seed, and
Mr.. Fonta, who is now in Paris on a
leave. Of absence for Is months, plant
cd some cane in horticultural Hall
with a double object.in view. First,
strangers visiting Audubon Park in
winter,,c can see theacane from which
sugar is produced in leaf. This in
itself is an attraction. Secondly,
MIR. Fonta planted the cane in the
Hall to- see if he couldsnot-indue it to
blossom. The cane is now over Is
feet high, and is still growing. It is
two years old, and next year should
his experiment prove q success, it
should blossom. 1t will be a are
sight indeed to the people Of the land
of sugar, as southern Louisiana vas
calIedssome years ago.-Sugar Plan

A Successful Man.

Mr.. j. T. Havens, Of Dry Creek,
the sheep king Of Calcasieu, was in
town m day this week, and deliver
ed to Mr.. T.. Kaufman the last in
stallment of his wool clip for the sea-
son, aggregating more than 5000
pounds, which netted him 81 ,403.62.
Besides the wool returns, Mr.. Ravens
has marketed $1,000 worth of NUT
ton from his flock. When it is taken
into consideration that this amount
of money has been realized through
the labor of the family only, and
there has been no expense for feed,
it is evident that this is the best pay
ing branch of the farming business.
The increase in the flock also amounts
to quite an item.-Lake Charles

Robert Ronner A Compositor.

There is an old printer in the gov
eminent printing office who worked
on the Hartford Courant when the
late Robert Bonner was setting type
in that office. A sttourist" came
along, and, getting in a day, offered
to bet $40 he could set more type
than any man in the office. MI. Bon
ner told the sstourist" that he was not
a gambler, but thatahe would chance
him $40 just for fun. The money
was put up, and the two smen got
down to their cases. In twenty hours
and twenty eight minutes Mr. Bon
ner had set and corrected %, 900
ems of solid minion, besides, taking
time to eat three pieces of custard pie
and drink two glasses of milk. Mr..
Bonner was recognized as one of the
fastest printers in the country. He
was the first man to enter a type-set-
ting contest in America, and it is a
nanaidanea that Leo Monneimer, the
last to win one, died within.a week Of
MI. Bonner. The greatest record
ever made was setting and correcting
$4,000 ems in tw~enty-four hours, an
average Of about 1876 ems per hour.
