DEATH IN THE WIRE FENCE,

A single strand Of fence wire is cas-
lily capable Of transmitting such volt
age of electric current that contact
with 1t when thus charged is fatal to
man or beast. A teamster driving in
an alley to empty load of coal dis
placed wire clothesline so that it
touched live arc light wire, the
clothesline flying back and touching
his horses heads. They both dropped
dead in an instant. Thus cattle lying
on the moist earth contiguous to q
barbed wire fence are in as great dam
ger from bolt of electricity which
falls half mile away and charges the
fence wire as though they were in the
immediate path of the current as 1t fell
from the clouds. This fact is not gen.
orally known. A simple remedy is to
ground the wires of the fence at inter
walls, by which the extremely high volt
age Of the distant lightning stroke may
be safely conducted to the earth.

A FARMERS, TRUST.

We are challenged to show trust in
which the farmers of the country are
principals. While 1t is true that agri-
culture is burdened with fewer of these
economic combinations than any other
branch of business, we still think that
all the elements Of trust are found in
the following illustration: The farmers
of a certain community made their
own butter and supplied the consumers
of their county town. A few made
good butter, for which they got fair
price, and the many poor butter, which
sold at low figures. There was unre-
stricted competition between the sell
ers and buyers of this butter. A cream
cry run on the cooperative plan was
established. All the butter made there
after was made at the creamery. The
local grocers, unable to get butter
supply from the farmers, were compel
led to buy Of the creamery to supply
their town trade, with the result that
the consumer was compelled to pay
from D. to cents pound more for but
ter than he ever had done before. So
far as the consumer was concerned he
was the victim of a creamery trust to
all intents and purposes.

FORTY YEARS.

We note that a Bohemian with jaw
breaking name has lately completed 4
$4,000 farm residence on ashalf section
farm in northwestern Iowa Without
knowing the history of this man, 1t Is
not out of the way to assume that 40
years ago be might have been seen at
Castle Garden Just landed from some
emigrant ship, he and his family clad
in the quaint toggery of "a Bohemian
peasantry. poor as Jobs turkey. look
ing helplessly and wistfully around at
the strange things of strange coun-
try. We see him toiling hard aud al
most painfully to find Ia place and
home and acquire our strange Ian
guage. Later he, is seen as pioneer
on new farm ina new country, man,
wife and children all working early
and late to reclaim a home in the great
west. The years go by, the railroads
come, towns spring up, neighbors sur
round him, his land increases in value,
the mortgage is paid off, and now in
his old age he builds him castle and
lives like Bohemian prince. His frau,
who wore the wooden shoes at Castle
Garden. wears fine kid shoes and goes
to kirk in 5000 carriage, while the old
man has bee in his bonnet and thinks
he will run for the state legislature
next fall. Great transformation and
splendid evolution!

KEEP PLANTING

Orchard trees all through the middle
west, particularly apple trees, are FROM
various causes short lived. Extremes
of temperature, blight and drought,
borers, neglect, overbearing, each and
all contribute to limit the profitable
life Of the apple tree to about 20 years
on the average, and one seldom or new
er finds aged trees Of the style and Wig
or common to the Atlantic states Thus
1t comes about that If the western men
want to raise their own apples they
must keep on planting new orchards tc
replace those that are dying and dead.
And in this connection we will say that
it is poor policy to try to toggle up an
old orchard with new trees and every
way better to set the new trees in a
new orchard, the missing plats in an
old orchard being SO thoroughly pre-
empted by the roots Of the trees which
are left that 1t is almost impossible to
get young tree to live among them.
The enlarged knowledge about fruit
trees which Is now available for the
western planter. covering varieties,
sites and care. is still powerless to cope
with the certain climatic conditions
which are so unfavorable to the growth
of the apple trees, extremes of heat
and cold and normal aridity4 of the
atmosphere which is wholly uncongen-
ial to the healthfui development Of this
fruit. s...g. ,;;aYg 4. III,

UNpRoF1rABLE DrsHoNEsTY.

Dishonest methods in the manufac-
ture Of American cheese have reduced
the exports Of cheese from 127 500, 600
pounds in 1880 to 100000 pounds in
1899. This dirty, dishonest work came
In the trail of the separator, and, In
fact, 1t would have been almost impos-
sible without it. The old method of
setting milk to raise the cream made
the skimmilk worthless for cheese
making. but the separator by extract
ing the cream as soon as the milk came
from the COW left residue of sweet
skimmilk which, fortified and adulter-
ated with cottonseed oil and other
cheap substitutes for pure butter fat
became that dairy abomination, the
filled cheese, these shipped abroad to
our British cousins as full cream
cheese, with the final results above
stated. Canadian dairymen have been
the ones to profit by this rascality and
now practically control the cheese
trade Of Great Britain.

THn VALUE OF a GOOD sure.

4 Twenty-four years ago in certain
locality in the middle west a bay Per-
cheron horse was imported from
France. He was a prize winner in
that country and aside from being a
perfect model Of horsefesh was the
possessor Of certain fire, ambition
and style which elected the admiration
of every lover of good horse. This
horse was kept in service in the local
ity named for 16 years and became the
sire of numerous progeny, all of
which to a greater or less extent par.
took Of the good points of their sire.
While they varied in color and size,
nearly all had the fine head, the arch
ing neck, the finely formed ear and the
life and fire of their sire. And take the
colts as they averaged for a series of
years they would bring from $50 to
$50 apiece more in the market than
any other live stock. 1t is entirely safe
to say that this one horse added to the
value Of the horses raised and sold by
the farmers of this community not less
than 100000.

Mr.. Owings says on only eleven acres
did he get above an average good
yield. That would leave of the total
2,775 bushels for eleven acres, or an
average of 252 bushels per acre, which
is three and a half times the general
yield.
Sioux city-The Security National
banA having announced reduction of
interest rates on three months certifi-
Gates from a to 8 per cent, bankers of
the city seem to believe a general re-
duction of the same kind on all time
deposits will be made in the not dis
tant future. They explain that there
is not enough demand for money to
keep it steadily loaned at rates which
will warrant paying a per cent About
$1,000,000 of time money is now held
by Sioux City national banks, and it
is practically constant quantity. 1t is
also pointed out by bankers that per
cent is more than is paid in other
large Iowa towns, 3 per cent being the
current rate on time deposits.

tits not best to try to raise turkeys
unless you are to quite an extent isolat-
ed from neighbors. Turkeys are great
wanderers and foragers and have the
love of home but little developed. Stray
turks to many rural minds are subject
to the same moral code as watermelons
safe to pick If not caught at, it-and
when 1t comes to a case Of mixed tur-
keys and two women set out to identi-
fly their property the man If he has any
sense will take to the woods at once.
The turkey can be made to bring in a
nice little sum Of pin money along in
the early winter, but it is not best to
try to raise him If you have neighbors
within half mile.
