eleven and one-half years, me sale OF
oleo has reached over $4,000 O0D
pounds. The first six years the total
was 25o.00O00o pounds, the last five
and a half years 1858, 100000 pounds, or
an average of about 62,000,000 pounds
a year. When you count up the num-
Der of cows replaced on the basis of
300 pounds of butter cow, you can see
where the dairy interests will be in an
other year or two. Butter gets one
freight and express rate, oleo gets a
much lower one. Every item of econ
omy in getting it on the market is in
favor, of course, because "A trust Is
behind the imitation. and the produc-
ers of genuine butter are scattered
from Maine to Mexico"

In the Peach Creek neighborhood is
place known as the Hole In the
Ground, which Is the only place in
Texas, as far as known, where the
wind blows up and down, a regular
gale. The hole is on the cattle ranch
belonging to Claus Baumgartner, and
close TO the creek between high. wood
ed bluffs. Peach creek Is really a
bayou, It's waters level with the sea
and running only during freshets
caused by excessive rains. High south
or north winds are the only ones to
ruffie its usually placid surface.
But 1t does not matter how placid
the waters of Peach creek may be, how
straight and unbending the trees on the
bluffs may stand or how lazily the
clouds drift through the air, there is
always a gale at the Hole in the
Ground. 1t blows and roars and whis-
ties and shrieks as only raging hurri-
cane can do In its mad career. The
hole is costly affair to the man who
owns 1t. The low ground on which 1t
is situated is the only place where his
cattle can get water Mt the creek.
1t would be all right If a fence could
be maintained around the hole, but that
cannot be done Every time the wind
veers to the east everything above
ground between the bluffs Is sucked
into 1t, swapping the stoutest fence
posts like pipe stems, and snatching
coils of barbed wire as IL they were
fiimsy gossamers. At such times
horses, cattle and sheep that happen
to be on the fiat are doomed. Strong
horses, caught In the eddy of the mys-
FERROUS wind, are as helpless as flies in
IL gale. They plunge and leap and
struggle for minute, then they are
pressed down. whirled around few
times and go down never to be seen
again.
The hole itself is about 300 feet across
the top with slanting sides. No one
has ever dared to go close enough to be
able to look down into 1t and see what
the bottom Is like. The sounds of the
wind vary from hoarse roar to a keen
whistling noise. The prevailing winds,
except an east wind, do not seem to
affect 1t in any way, for In calm and
storm, rain and shine. night and day,
winter and summer, it puffs and sucks
and whirls and eddies to suit itself.
Twice In the memory of man Peach
creek has overlooked its banks high
enough to run into the hole The last
time was during the general overflow
last summer. The water then rose to
depth of four feet on the fat where
the hole Is situated. For minute or
so the water would pour down with
gurgling noise. then the earth around
seemed to hump itself for a moment
and the next there would be an explo-
sive sound. when 1t would come up
again in solid column 100 feet high.
When this column broke the waves
rushed against the adjacent bluffs and
were whipped into foam. This was re-
peated every minute or two until the
water in the creek went back again
within its banks. After the water had
receded and the hole had resumed It's
usual labor of sucking and putting
wind once more. the ground around
was literally covered with the bones of
dead animals on which 1t had gorged

Stock Raising Farmer Successful.

Stock Raising Farmer Successful.
Corn, oats and wheat are the main
crops grown IN Illinois. Corn is grown
one year perhaps in n field, and oats
are put In the next year. Some heids
are devoted almost exclusively to corn.
Now this rotation of two crops may do
very well, but clover should be sown
with the oats in the spring IL the soil
Is thin. Every farmer should be
stock raiser. and one or more of his
fields should be for grazing purposes.
For such a farmer 1t will be an easy
matter to prevent land exhaustion by
a continued growing of one crop on the
same ground Not only can he change
the grain crops, but he can change his
land under cultivation to pasturage,
and the reverse. equally as we'll. The
soil. when this Is done. is never injured.
which 1t Is when used for the exclusive
growth Of one crop. The land is being
constantly enriched, especially by the
addition Of the refuse Of the fodder
which is fed and of the stock. The
stock-raising farmer has every adyan-
tage to raise big crops.

Keeping Well Water Pure.

1t used to be an oldfashioned custom
In the country to put one or two trout
In a well to insure the water being
pure and wholesome. II they did not
keep 1t so it was supposed that they
would give warning of its impurity by
dying themselves. We are reminded
of this by seeing In an English paper
that Prof. Sobrero, of Turin. has lately
advised the use Of cells in the house els
tern for the same purpose. He says two
or three not large but lively cells would
devour anything In the water In the
shape Of animalcules, lnfnsoria, bird
dropping from the roof or vegetable
matter Of any kind, We think they
would also take any animal matter like
toads or rats that might fall in and
drown.-Amerlean Cultivator.

CONSIDERING LABORBRS.

Plantation managers are moving
none too promptly in organization
with the especial end in view of dealing
with the labor situation under the new
conditions that will soon be upon the
Islands. For years past the labor o:
lie Islands has been so completely I'M
der the paternal control of the govern
ment that the release Is more than like
ly to be attended with greater or less
friction from the FESTIVE elements
among the laborers.
There is little danger OF serious diff
culties arising that will threaten the
main industry of the country. At the
same time it is absolutely necessary for
the men in charge Of the vast sugar
estate to prepare to meet the new con-
ditions, that the transition from con-
tract to free labor may be accomplished
without arousing the antagonism of q
thoughtless laboring class. Recent
strikes on various plantations seem to
