It is in Germany of all European
countries that trusts have spread most
extensively and have been most sue
cessful, writes Wilhelm Berdrow. Who
ever may have expected to find Eng
land in this leading position should be
reminded that the German states, in
respect to the tremendous increase OF
industry and the extraordinary growth
o. their great cities, bear. the most
striking resemblance TO the United
States and furnish the most fruitful
soil for the growth of industrial COM
binations. The German technical
journals for 1897 enumerate about $50
trusts, of which, it is true, only few
would correspond to American ideas,
but all OF which demonstrate a capacity
for wider combination and fuller de-
velopment.

Within a few weeks thousands of

Commercial Agent w. p. .Atwell
writes to the Department of State from
Roubaix as follows: Russia Is about
to become large producer OF raw cot
ton. The Trans-Caucasian country
has cotton lands in the valley OF
Koura, near Elisabethpol, in the high
plain OF Erivan, as well rs in other
localities. and judicious irrigation will
extend these fields. Russian Turkestan
is. however. destined to become the
greatest cotton-producing section, and
will shortly be rival OF Egypt. In
1890 Russian Turkestan had 10000 hec-
tares (14S.26O acres) planted with up
land cotton. This land yielded 1885,
900 Kilograms (32.S04,4 ,44S pounds) Of
cotton. In 1895 the production amount
ed to SO,000,0OO Kilograms Q76,3 ,36S.-
900 pounds) of upland and 9,335,00
Kilograms (20,579.941 pounds) OF ma
tive cotton. Russian Turkestan should
produce more than 120,000000 kilo-
grams (264 $50 900 pounds) of textile
growth. Russia" says the authority
quoted. "can already do without Egypt,

Print Shop 0dor.

There is an odor about print shop,
a sort of composite perfume, made up
of various sweet savorS arising like
incense from the ink-keg, the oil can,
the paste and the office towel. And
the popularity about this odor is that
one whose olefactOries have once be-
come effectually soaked in it Is a slave
to it forever more. He longs for it
as a Bedouin for his desert, as a
smoker for his pipe, as drunkard for
his bowl. We have known tramp
''prints" who were too old, or too
drunk, or too tired to work, to come
up and beg a quarter and then ask if
they might not go in and ''Smell the
shop for awhile" Ii is sort of in
toXication, not so violent and devil
ish as that which whisky brings, but
just as absolute in its sway, just as
hard to break. That is why a man
who has been printer for ten years
can never be anything else. 1t is not
because the work is so pleasant or
protitable-it is because he cannot
live without the smell of the shop.
And it is hereditary, too-this print

mire, for example, who used to run
the Usage City Free Press. He had
boy, Jim, that he was mighty proud
of, and he was determined that he
should be something better than a
country editor. So about the time
Jim was coming of age, he sold the
Free Press, and got job in the land
office at Kingfisher, and got another
job for Jim. But it was no use. Some
body asked the old man not long ago
if Jim was running newspaper so
yes" he said, "Jim's running a news
paper. God knows that it amt my
fault. l tried hard enough to keep
him from it. told him that he could
make more money stealing horses, and
save more money boiling soft soap.
But it wasn't any use: the smell had
him. 1t was in him. 1 reckon. Could
not help it any more than he could
help having black eyes" Secretly,
tho, Jake is glad that Jim has got a
paper, for he can sneak around there
himself once or twice day and smell
the shop. Register.

TWENTY-FIRST YEAR.
Our Local Gold Fields.

Monday, MeSSrS. QuintOn and Ba-
ker, the Topeka gentlemen who were
in search of gold on the Smoky Hill
river last week, returned and loaded
four cars at Lacrosse with ore from
the south bluff of the river two and
one-half miles west of Schoengen.
This Russian village is located about
one mile north of the north line of
Rush county and in Ellis county. 1t
is about fifteen miles from Lacrosse
to the supposed gold field. Twenty
three teams were employed to haul
the ore and ten cents per hundred
pounds was paid for hauling. One
load day is all team can haul, and
forty hundred is considered good
load for one team. A four-horse team
hauled twice that amount. The pros
pectors are shipping these four cars
to Denver to their stamp mill for the
purpose of testing its gold or other
mineral bearing qualities. In talk
ing with Quinton, he substantially
said: I'VE do not know that there is
anything in this material which we
are sending to Denver. That is our
reason for making the test, simply to
find out. Most people think it a
scheme of some kind which we are
trying to work. While it may appear
unreasonable to think there is gold
in this material, we will test it new
ertheless. We have the machinery at
Denver to make satisfactory test
and we have the money to pay our
men and all expenses, consequently il
it proves failure, we are the losers.
If it proves paying ore we will i'm
mediately begin the erection of Il
smelter on the banks of the river, and
do business right. In about two
weeks we will have returns from Den
yer and know if its paying ''stuff."
Mr.. Quinton also said he is not en-
deavOring to make any display or Gre
ate excitement through newspaper in
terviewS, for the reason he does not
know that he has anything to boom
or blow about, although he believes
the "Stuff' contains mineral, and
proba oily a larger per cent OF zinc than
gold. The gentleman are very unas-
Stunning and dignified in their manner
and actions. If they have struck

and the country. If not, they are the
losers, and a number of teamsters are
several dollars ahead. However, the
so-called ore is abundant, extending
for miles along the river. Where
they worked this week about two feet
of sand was scooped off the surface of
the soap stone shale, then it was
worked with nick and shovel Four
men did the digging and loaded the
wagons. The bluff at that place is
about 80 feet high, and the removal
of the four car loads can scarcely be
missed.-LaCroSse Republican.

Cottrell is in southern Kansas pur-
chasing barley with which to make
the Danish experiment The Ar
mours will cooperate with the Kan
sas professor and have agreed to take
his hogs and test the new feeding. In
the absence of sufficient funds on
hand to conduct these experiments at
the college, Prof. Cottrell has borrow
ed the necessary money from the

If the experiment of barley feeding
results as Prof. Cottrell confidently
expects, the farmers of western Kan
SaS will become the fancy bacon pro-
ducers of the United States. Their
hogs will be fed at less cost than with
corn and will top the Kansas City
market. The Regents of the college
have shown their sympathy with the
progressive policy of the experiment

New Industry For Western Kansas.

Prof. Cottrell of the farm depart
ment of the State Agricultural col
lege is making good use of the sum-
mer holidays, getting ready for a new
experiment in stock feeding that. if
successful, will prove great benefit
to the farmers of western Kansas.
Prof. Cottrell has made IA study of
pork raising in Denmark, whose bacon
is famous the world over and outsells
American bacon a dollar a hundred
pounds. The bacon of Denmark is
the product of hogs fed with barley.
which seems to impart delicate fla
vor against which corn can not COM
pete. Within the last year. the Ar
mours have bought all the barley-fed
hogs they could find in Canada, and
the bacon produced from such hogs
brings an extra price in the market
ana is used almost exclusively for a
select export business. The Canadian
government backed the experimenters
of that province in barley feeding,
with the result stated.

KANSAS CITY Stock YARDS.
July %, 1899.
As the summer advances the fact
developes more and more that the
shortage on good dry lot steers is
greater than was expected forty days
ago, and this grade of cattle are SELL
ing at high average prices and we
think will continue to do so until the
late fall. 1t looked for a time as
though grass cattle and stockers and
feeders would sell sharply lower, but
the magnificent crop prospects
throughout the corn belt and the i'm
been saved and very easy money
market have stimulated prices on this
grade OF cattle and they are no lower
for the week
The big strike at the SchwarzchIld
s. Sulzberger Packing plant is settled
and all the employees are at work
again. This has helped prices on
butcher COWS and heifers and medium
grade steers very materially, as they
are heavy buyers of this class of stock.
1t begins to look as though the re-
cent advance in hogs has come to stay,
and while we are not especially bull
ish on the future of this branch of
the trade, think present prices will
be maintained.
We are in position to give your sub
scribers conservative values regarding
any stock they might have on hand,
and will be most happy to do so upon
request from them.
