FORTY years.

We note that a Bohemian with jaw
breaking name has lately completed a
$4,000 farm residence on half section
farm i'll northwestern Iowa Without
knowing the history of this man, it is
not out of the way to assume that 40
years ago he might have been seen at
Castle Garden just landed from some
emigrant ship, lie ard HIS family clad
in the quaint toggery of 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 and al
most painfully to find place and
home and acquire our strange lam
guage. Later he is seen as pioneer
on new farm in a new country, man,
wife and children all working early
and late to reclaim 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 a 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 rum for the state legislature
next fall. Great transformation and
splendid evolution!

1t was the first day of school The
bell had tapped, and the little children
of the secondary primary were sitting
upright in their seats, hands properly
folded and with round eyes fixed on
the new teacher, taking mental in
ventory.
She was bit nervous. 1t was her
first school, The children made her
"idgety," they stared at her so hard
and watched her so narrowly.
She began to feel like mouse that
is within the clutches of cat She
cast about wildly in her mind for some
occupation to begin the first day. She
regretted bitterly that she had not ar
ranged some definite plan of campaign.
Then her face frightened. She would
find out what the children already
knew. Question followed question,
touching on divers subjects.
Nov, who knows what skeleton
is?' asked the teacher, smiling coax
ingly.
The little girl wearing the pink ging-
ham apron and occupying the back
seat waved her hand wildly andEwork-
ed her mouth in frantic endeavop- to get
teacher to look at her.
''Well, what is it?''
"A skeleton" said the tot, twisting
her apron in her fingers, "is d man

THE vAtIp or 4 COOP SIRE.

Twenty-four years ago in a certain
locality IN the middle west a bay Per-
cheron horse was imported from
France He was n prize winner in
that country and aside from being a
perfect model of horseflesh 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 a numerous progeny, all of
which to u 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 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.

Dishonest methods in the manufac-
ture of American cheese have reduced
the exports of cheese from 127 100000
pounds in 1880 to 46.000.000 pounds in
1899. This dirty. dishonest work came
in the trail of the separator, and, in
fact, it would have been almost impos-
sibIe 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 Il residue of sweet
skimmilk which. fortified and adulter-
ated with cottonseed oil and other
cheap substitutes for pure butter fat
became that dairy Accumulation, the
filled cheese. these shipped abroad to
our British cousins as a 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.

A young Pittsburger arose from his
bed one morning and, dressing, went
down stairs to breakfast AS he sat at
the table he carelessly put his right
hand into his trousers pocket and was
surprised to find $7.25. He knew that
when he retired for the night he had
just % cents and had fallen asleep
while wondering where he could bor-
row money the next morning. He was
highly elated over the discovery, for,
although he thought long and hard,
he could not remember how he had
come into the possession of the money.
After work that day he took friend
to the opera and later to supper. When
he returned home about midnight, a
brother stepped into his room and said,
Harry did you pay that bill for me
today?'
The young man, was almost dunn
founded. 1t all came to him at once
Shortly after he had retired the pre-
vious night his brother had entered the
room and, placing the money In his
trousers pocket, said: Say, old man,
when You 90 down town tomorrow,
wish you would pay Mr. that bill
owe him. promised to let him have
it by tomorrow"
The young man was doing at the
time, and that accounts for his failure
to remember what his brother had said
to him. He was kept busy borrowing
from friends to make up the amount
the next day, and he declares that
hereafter his brother will have to pay
his own bills. Pittsburg Chronicle

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 a 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 10 8 cents pound more for but
ter than he ever had done before. So
far as the consumer was concerned he
was the victim of creamery trust to
all intents and purposes.

We are asked if farmer can afford
TO pay 5 per cent for money with which
to build good barn where the hay has
to be stacked out of doors and the
stock sheltered in old straw sheds.
Yes, he can. The saving on fodder
alone will go good way toward pay
ing the $50 interest charge on $1,000
barn, and when the various other uses
to which such barn can be put are
taken into account no better invest
ment on the farm can be made. When
the barn is built, it should be at once
insured in your county mutual against

We have had several inquiries how
to get rid of the squirrel tail grass,
which is such pest in all lawns
through the west. We have had this
pest and had it as bad as we ever saw
it anywhere inp our own lawn. We have
practically got rid of it. This season
but very little was visible. The RENE
dy is very close and continuous cutting
with lawn mower during the last of
August and early September when it
pushes up the seed heads. The clip
pings must be gathered int grass car
rier and burned, the whole secret of
getting rid of it being to prevent its
going to seed on tile lawn. If this can
be done. it being aul annual and there
being no seed, there will be no squirrel
tail grass. The lawn should be liberal
ly watered during this period of close
and constant cutting BE careful also
as to what fertilizer is put upon the
lawn. as it may be full of these seeds
and thus undo all your work. Fertilizer
for a lawn should DE well heated and
rotted to destroy aET seeds contained
in it.
