WE. NEED ii CYCLE PATH.

when you come to Bemidii, leave
your wheel at the depot, lis tie vice
that is often given to strangers. 'Tis
good advice, but pity tbs, It's true.
The smooth sailing for wheeling
around Bemidji is very limited, and
to enjoy wheeling here one Innss be
gifted with steel knees and a rubber
spinalcolumn. And yet there is no
+ excuse for this condition except the
lack of purpose and lazy indi ference
of our wheel-riders. Nothing would
be more easy than to build good
bicycle path along our lake shore,
and nothing ii more needed to place
Bemidji Id it's proper nich In the sum " !.
mer resort business: nothing will give
our people and our summer guests SO
much satisfaction.
People are too aptfto overestimate
4 the cost, and underestimate the worth
Aof cycle path. sNe are told that
Brainerd has such pathway--ealeyen
miles long, running to lake, and Its
construction cost only 500. The
Brainerd path only leads 20 q point
of beautg, while ours running around
the lake would be enclosed
within garden Of beauty where
every turn OF the wheel would open a
new panorama OF lake and forest
views.
It il not necessary TO build Al path
around the lake this season. One
mile of track would help some, and
the moy yement once begun would s en-. r.
sure success later on. There are
enough friends of the idea to raise
sufficient money BY subscription 20.
make beginning. When this IS done
we believe the village council can be
counted upon for further assistance.
But the first thingto be done is to or Or
ganize q cycle association OF some
kind. Wake up, wheelman; wake up.

A Close Call.

The delegates to the conventions at
TT. Scott came near beng wrecked
Monday morning. Just as the train
passed Edwardsville, fourteen miles
from Kansas City, the rear axle on
the engine broke just where it entered
the wheel on the south side. The
train was running at so mile gait,
and the first the passengers knew of
the accident was the clouds of dust
and cinders flying IN the air. The
train ran about one-half a mile before
it could be stopped. Examination
showed that the rear end of the truck
was resting on the rails, with the
wreck of break beams hanging be-
hind. The writer walked back with
Supt. Jones and hunted up the
wheels. They were found, both on
the north side of the track buried in
the mud and weeds. Another case
of Rock Island luck" said Mr.. Jones.
Just how a wheel with an axle at
tached passed from the south to the
north of the train without wrecking
it will never be known. The cars
and engine remained on the track.
The passengers and train men con-
graduated each other on their mar
row escape.

He said before we moved that If he could
only get where be could near the surf when
he woke up mornings that it would do him
a world of good. The first morning after we
got there he woke up about five o clock and
called out to mother, who was still asleep:
Say, ma, do you hear that surf coming
in on the shore? Isn't that the grandest
thing you ever heard?
Ma protested that she didn't hear any
surf and wasn't listening for any. Father
sighed and went to sleep again, lulled by the
music Of what be declared was the surf.
The door OF his room was open and he sim
ply heard the swish OF our little housemaid' S
broom over the carpet downstairs. She gets
up early every morning TO do the front
rooms and her broom makes the finest imi-

FEEDING THE HORSES.
Many Farmers Make n Mistake by
Giving Them Too Much Hay and
Not Enough Grain.

Farmers generally do not give the
feeding OF their horses the attention
they should. The dairy COW and the
feeding steer are carefully examined
and discussed, but the feeding of the
horse Is usually all the hay he can eat
and various quantities OF oats and
corn. according 10 the amount OF
work being done. Sometimes even the
latter part Is neglected. II horse is
expected TO do extre hard work he
should be literally and regularly fed.
The horse has "A small stomach in pro-
portion TO his size. hence frequent
feeding when under hard work is nee
essary. The human stomach can bear
hunger far better than that of a
horse When driving on journey
You feel hungry You may be sure
your horse has felt Il before you did,
aud Is needing his feed more than you
do.
Opinions differ great denl as TO
the watering Of horses. Some prefer
to have the water in their stalls. 9th
ers prefer watering only as the horses
come In from their work or before
feeding Horses should not be wa
tered after meals, as the stomach be-
Ing small, is liable TO he partially
emptied OF the undigested food, caus-
ing trouble in the bowels and partial
loss of the food. Oats and hay are
the ideal food for horses in our coun-
try, but because they are the best 10
no reason why they should be exclu.
slrely used, Variety Ia often much
relished by the horse. With this va
riety cheapness and economy may be
introduced Good timothy hay. early
cut ard well cured. is the best hay
for horses. Many farmers make
great mistake by feeding far too
much hay and not enough grain. They
might very well take a few lessons
from our liyerymen who find their
horses do better and keep healthier
ON a small amount OF hay and lit
tie more grain.-Joseph II. Yoder, in

AUTOMOBILE MOWERS.

cry Tested nj Parts Proves an

II is contended that the United
States leads Europe in the excellence
of many Of its agricultural imple-
ments, but especially in the matter
OF haryesters. Reapers and mowers
are OF American origin, and this
country has always kept ahead of
imitators Among the mowers ex-
hibited at the Paris exposition this
year were some which may be pro.
PEELED by gasoline engines, and re-
quire no horses. Two of these ma
chimes came from this country. The
cutting devices do not call for no.
tiee. One Of the American firms en-
ploys gearing to transmit power from
the engine Tor motor) TO the driving
wheel, and another uses a chain. A
steering wheel is necessary, of course.
and this is controlled by lever from
the drivers seat.
Automobile mowers were officially
tested on farm in the presence OF a
number o. public officials and promi-
nentngriculturists. The crop cut was
lucerne, and il was the second growth
Of the season. The forward move
ment of the machines was three or
four feet a second, or about five or
six rods a minute. About an acre
an hour was cut. No accidents oc-
cured. 10th machines worked salts
factorily. and experts express the
opinion that the system has proved
entirely practicable. Autoaohile
mowers, like steam plows, are sue

nInt. on winter.nr cabbanr

a good cool cellar will keep them
until April with little OF no loss. In
putting cabbage in the cellar for use
in early spring, prefer 10 leave roots
and most of the leaves on, set as close
together as possible with roots on the
ground and heads upward. For pitt
ting ont of doors, select dry place
for the pit, dig out few inches deep
and two feet wide, as long as viii be
required TO hold the cabbage. In
placing in the pit put heads down,
letting roots extend upward and close
