D in line with the top of the tree. He
says that the distance from himself
to the foot of the tree will be equal to
the height of the latter.
The Tribune finds it hard to under
stand how this device cam be used as
described, unless the upper end of CD
leans backward toward the mans
head. 1t would then he no longer per-
pendicular, and the true principle of it
would be sacrificed. But if the sticks
were put together as in Fig. greater
accuracy would be secured. Then ALB
would be horizontal and parallel with
the earth, and BE would be vertical and
parallel with the tree trunk. Under
these circumstances, the distance from
the mans feet to the tree would be
equal to the height of the tree. The
principle employed is nearly the same
as that used on warships at sea to get
the enemy's range.-N. Y. Tribune.

Burning out old stumn.. ;,

The easiest way to get rid Of
stnmps in field or meadow is to burn
them out. Dig trench around the
stumps about two feet wide and two
and one-half or three feet deep, cut
of all projecting roots quite close and
remove the soil as welt us possible.
Then leave the stump for a few days
to dry. Gather up 9 lot Of dry sticks,
brush, etc, and fill up the trench all
around and on top Of the stump and
set It on fire. The stump will be con-
sumed in a day or two. Even green
stumps may be burned out in this
way, although it may require q sec
ond or third supply Of dry sticks on
the lire to accomplish til. o. Folio,

Thoroughbred males among his pur>

The trader knows there is more money
in dealing inegood stock. than in poor

himself a good quality Of stock IN the

FEED-GRINDING NOTES.

The gasoline engine solves the prob
lem of quick and efficient power for
rapid grinding.
With corn at 30 cents bushel one
can easily pay for good sweep mill
in one seasons saving of feed.
Always select mill that will admit
of the largest amount of power being
applied directly to the grinding.
For the general farmer the sweep
mill is the thing; but for heavy feed
ing the larger mills should be en-
p]oyed with power.
Never allow capacity to interfere
with quality; but when you can secure
capacity and perfect grinding in q
mill that's the one to buy.
With feed grinding, like many other
operations, where it is done on large
scale, it pays, and besides the cost is
reduced to minimum.
To secure the best results the feeder
should have mill at hand, with
which he can grind his feed as needed
and prepare it to suit the require
ments of his special line of feeding.
A sweep mill that will grind from 4C
to so bushels of dry corn and cob.
meal per hour, is a pretty good mill
Grain is valuable as food only when
digested and assimilated, and to be
valuable for digestion must be
crushed, ground and pulverized either
before feeding or by the animal itself
The successful cattle feeder, the one
who always tops the market, is the
one who can convert the largest
amount of crude feed into high priced
beef. Grinding feed is great aid in

bUTTE'S PIONEER
COPPER MINER

Every citizen of Butte who was here
twenty years ago is glad to extend q
greeting to Mr.. Charles T. Meader. who
is now in the city. He was the first man
to realize the copper wealth of Butte,
the first to show his faith by his work,
the first to build an exclusively copper
smelter. Only the pressure of creditors
at a critical prevented him from
becoming one of the richest men in this
country. The freezing up of the Bell
smelter water jacket furnaces just as he
had opened the Bell mine, was all that
prevented him from making a colossal
fortune, for he was reaching out for
other copper property that has since de-
Veloped a valuation of millions. But
the crash came because Of some lack of
experience in smelling, the same LACK
Which caused other men the loss Of vast
sums Of money, and Mr.. Meader was
forced to succumb. Since then fortune
has not smiled upon him, though he has
'bravely kept up the struggle, and even
now Is working a prospect at Chewela,
Washington. He is now 50 years old, too
old by far for an active business life,
and his friends, who realize what he diG
for Butte In the early days in develop
ing possibilities of which other men
reaped the advantage, will be glad to
learn that he is now contemplating a
trip to California, to spend his remain-

Mr.. Meader in kindly remembrance. He
