One of the best bats with which to
catch files and grangers is sugar
graduated sugar particularly. to trap
the granger. 1t seems that when a
bait Of 100 pounds of sugar for a dol
lar Is offered with twenty dollar bill
Of groceries by some sharper nothing
but the sugar can be seen or under
stood. Now. a pretty good rule when
solicited on these lines is 10 find out
the current market price for granu-
lated sugar, which one can do In almost
any newspaper, and If it is offered for
less than the market price there is dead
sure to be a steal in the other articles
composing the bill of goods.

The fall is the season for sorting and
thinning out the fiocks and herds on
the farm. The rigid test Of "Will 1t
pay to winterT" should be applied re-
lentlessly to dairy herd, hog yard. horse

aged cows and those which are just
summer boarders in the dairy, the two
year old hens, the reproductive. ugly,
deformed and i'll favored Of all kinds,
should GO to the bargain counter before

FANCY PRICES FOR FANCY PROD


UCTS.
There Is a so called general market
value for all farm produce such as the
prices quoted in the daily market re-
ports. Aside from this are a set Of
prices which are never quOted-prlces
paid for strictly honest and fancy goods
by class of people to whom quality is
everything and cost a minor cOnsidera-
ton. Among the farm products which
may have an established reputation for
excellence and purity are butter, milk.
cream. eggs. fruit, poultry and vegeta-
bles. This sort of a market is not cas-
lily found, but when once established is
not only permanent. but very prOfita-
BILE. We know Of the product Of a GER
tain western farm dairy, where 40 cows
are kept. which for years has brought
uniformly 8 cents a pound more than
the highest market quotations for west
ern extra butter. Another case where
a poultryman. by producing eggs from
well bred fowls. selecting his consign
ments as to size and marking the date
Of laying on each egg, is able to get p
per cent above current quotations fol
eggs for all his product. This but sim
ply emphasizes the old truth that it al
ways pays to produce the best things
Those of average and mediocre quality
may sometimes pay; the poorest never
| do.

We are noting with much interest
the continued success which is attend
ing the new process Of curing cheese in
cold storage. a method where Tie cheese
is taken directly from the press and
placed in cold storage and time given
instead Of caloric to effect the curing
process. The improvement in the quail
ity Of cheese so cured over that cured
in the old way is said to be so very
marked that it will not be long until
this process viii be generally adopted.

Horizontal Rain ON EiReI Tower


The Eiffel tower forms meteorological
station of exceptional value, and ever
since its completion in 1889 careful rec
ords have been taken Of the condition OF
the air at its summit. Being SO much
above the surrounding country, the
strength of the wind and the temperature
are absolutely different from what they
are near the ground level. The meteorO-
logical instruments are all fixed on the
tOpmOst platform of the tower and are
connected electrically with a station be-
low. In this way hourly records can be
obtained from all these instruments with
out the necessity of ascending the tower.
1t is curious to note that it has proved
impossible to obtain any satisfactory rec
ord of the rainfall at the summit. The
wind there is so strong that the rain
drops move practically horizontally and
do not fall into the gauge. Even in heavy
rains the gauge has registered nothing,
and, further, all horizontal surfaces in
the neighbOrhOod have been quite dry
while water has been streaming from the
vertical surfaces. In ordinary weather
the speed of the wind at the summit of
the tower proves to be more than three
times as much as at a level Of 20 feet
above the ground. For so per cent Of the
year this speed exceeds IS miles an hour,
a matter Of Importance in view OF recent
attempts at the construction Of flying
machines.-Engineering

Nearly all the local country papers Of

to relieve the granger of some Of his
surplus cash-renl estate, gold mining,

If you have a surplus fund and cannot
loan it at satisfactory rates, buy good
farm land with it-land the value and

then secure the principal even If you

MINING NOTES.

The Beaver Creek district, near Pei
ia, Idaho, is showing signs of renewed
activity in the matter of mining. From
the stage station at Dan Harbin's to
the head of Bever creek a wagon road
has been made this year by Mr.. Har-
bin and others and mines that had
been abandoned are being prospected
anew. Blasting is heard all along the
creek, and the old time activity is
showing itself.
In the Fifth district court at Nephi,
Utah. Judge Higgins has decided the
Grand Central-Mammoth apex suit in
favor of the Grand Central Mining
company. The suit has been pending
FIVE weeks The Grand Central sued
the Mammoth for 100000 for ores ex-
tracted from the Grand Central ground
and the Mammoth filed a cross-com-
plant claiming the disputed territory
and setting up title Hereunder to the
ore that had been extracted and such
as might hereafter be found adjacent
to the point over which the controver
sy arose. The court holds that the vein
which Apexes in the Mammoth claim,
leaves the side line of the claim at
point which does not give the extra
lateral rights sought to be secured by
that company.

Tor the season on the Transvaal group
on Ten Mile, In SIoean. A drift was
run in on one side of the ledge about
lOO feet and then raise was made to
the surface. They missed the shaft
from the surface and then a cross-cut
was run from the drift across the
ledge. The oreshoot was caught, ex-
posing healthy body of mineral. AS
says from this are above the average,
and the property is in position to be
easily made a shipper The Transvaal
and the U. & l. are the banner group
of the upper Ten Mile.
The most conclusive evidence of the
vastness of the ore bodies that exist
in the Rossland mines is afforded by
a reference to the immense amount of
money that has been put into mining
machinery during 1900. 1t has been
roughly estimated that one million dol
lars has been spent by the various min
ing companies operating here in inn
proving and adding to their mechan.
ical equipment. The great bulk of
Rossland ore bodies are low grade and
therefore the profit lies in the ability
of the management to handle at a max
imum tonnage at a minimum cost. To
do this every mechanical device that
will in any manner reduce the cost of
production must be utilized Rossland
mine managers have readily recognize
ed this fact, as the installation of no
less than three 40 drill air compress
sors and the largest hoist on a Canad
ian quartz mine testify.
