The buildings are all well under

structure is q heavy frame 30xl60
feet, two stories high. On the ground

ground. This machine alone weighs
1000 pounds, and rests upon a solid
brick pier resting on concrete base.
On this floor also will be set up two
brick presses. On the upper floor is
the Pug mill, in which the clays are
mixed before being ready for the
presses.
The clay after being ground is
carried by automatic elevators to the
floor above and emptied into the Pug
mill.
The capacity for grinding at a con-
servstive estimate is placed at rs
tons during the regular hours of
work. This can be increased by in
creasing the number Of shifts worked
each twenty-four hours. The four

The main plant and clay bank will
furnish employment to not less than
twenty-five men and six teams, when
only ordinary hours are worked.
The plant is so situated that the
Santa Fe railroad will construct two
switches, one on the north side, the
south side Of the main building. Not
later than spring two and probably
three large kilns will have been CON-
pleted, and the entire plant will be In
full operation. The test run II is now
expected will be made not later than
October first, however. when the
plant is in perfect working order the
public will probably be invited to
witness the operation.

The conduct of the wounded men of

German with lance wound through

was brought in, bowling aud shivering

Lis arms about so, for all the world like
man in the delirium tremens. that a
man in the Gordons with one arm in a
sling threatened to brain him with an
empty beer bottle. He was lifted off
the dining table and laid on the floor
by some kinGiy-disposed individuals
who did not wish to see the Draining

fellow had his wrist shattered by

The cheapest food for beef steers is
good pasturage, but our farmers in the
best farming sections say that land
costs too much to be given over to
such purposes. There is mistake
somewhere about this, for in many
countries pasture lands are valued at
500 or in some sections as high as $3.50
per acre and reasonable profit is
made on them. But worn-out field,
eaten bare and trodden under foot is
not representative pasture land. This
is an idea we should get rid of. Grass
should be recognized as crop, val
liable crop, and not as an enemy to be
destroyed. Neither is land that re-
quires 20 acres to support in poverty
a single steer fit to be called pasture.
1t is rather a barren waste. But land
in cultivated forage will feed more
stock than any natural pasture. But
the cultivation costs something, and
the harvesting costs somewhat, and the
hauling and handling and feeding
costs something, all of which is saved
when the cattle Craze the verdant
plain. We need more pastures, and es.
pecially do we need good pastures

SING A SONG.


II you'll sing a song as you 60 along.
In the face OF the real or the fancied
wrong;
In spite of the doubt II you'll fight 1t out
And show a heart that Is brave and stout;
II you laugh at the jeers and refuse the
tears,
You'll force the ever reluctant cheers
That the world denies when a coward
cries,
To give to the man who bravely tries
And you'll win success with little song
II you'll sing the song as you go along!
If you'll sing a song az you plod along,
You'll find that the busy rushing throng
Will catch the strain Of the glad refrain:
That the sun will follow the binding rain;
That the clouds will fly from the blackened
sky:
That the stars will come out by and by;
And you'll make new friends, TIL hope de-
scends
From where the placid rainbow bends;
And all because of a little song
II you'll sing a song as you plod along!
If you'll sing song as you trudge along.
You'll see that the singing will make you
strong:
Ard the heavy load and the rugged road.
And the sting and the stripe OF the tor
tuous goad
VIII soar with the note that you set afloat:
That the beam will change to trifiing
mote;
That the world is bad when you are sad,
And bright and beautiful when glad:
That all you need is a little song
II you'll sing the song as you trudge along!
