Shall We Keep on skimming.

Go where one will among farmers
milking from 5 to 80 COWS, and if
separator is not already on the farm
| the whole family can frequently be
found discussing the great question of
| whether ii will pay to have one or not.
| OF course all the agents and other Inc
terested parties will tell US that it will
pay and pay big to have one, and q
good many who never saw a separator
| will, but what we would like to get at
| is, How do those using separators feel
about it? And we should esteem 1t a
great favor both to ourselves and our
| readers If those who have had expert
ence with these costly machines would
let us know just what they think about
them and how small q number of cows
in their judgment they would advise
buying one for. A writer in an ex-
| change has figured the matter out in a
| very practical manner, and we copy the
same as follows: With ten good COWS
| nobody who makes milk into butter
| can afford to be without a separator
| for it will save $50 pounds Of butter in
year, said an expert dairyman Of the
| western states not long ago The cost
| of the separator will be $125. The in
| terest on that at 6 per cent would be
$3.50. His machine cost So for repairs
| In five years.-Prairie Farmer

Congressman Shattuc of Ohio has a

Although when in this country Il
Hung Chang declared he knew little

The average cost Of hauling one ton
1 mile throughout the United States
% cents. In the New England states
1t is 32 cents, they being more billy
and having generally worse roads. The
cost in New Jersey is from to 10
cents.
The actual cost Of moving products
Is not the only loss by bad roads by
any means. Farmers lose by not being
able to get to market when the market
Is good, by the waste of products that
cannot be marketed at all on account
Of bad roads, by not being encouraged
to cultivate things that require a
speedy market and in a great many
other ways.-GeneraI Roy Stone.

Australians shipments are about 6,000,-
600 bushels greater, making a total OF
100000 bushels as a stand off for
the Argentine's loss of 30,O0O.000 bush
els. The German crop is not in very
good shape. and some fears are express
ed for the French crop, but neither of
these countries has yet been seriously
affected, although Germany is importing
some American work.
1t is thus apparent that the foreign
situation is such that a big American
crop could be marketed without much
if any, sacrifice of present prices. The
size of the crop, providing present con-
dtions continue until after harvest, will
undoubtedly prevent any material ad-
vance over present prices, but it will be
remembered that the crop was cut
down about 100000 bushels in June,
1900,by drouth through the middle west
and northwest, and there was an attend
ant rise of nearly 20 cents per bushel in
the face of highly favorable conditions
in other parts of the world. This would
seem to indicate that the market for the
next thirty days will be largely a
weather market" and whatever changes
occur in prices will be due, not to the
varying proportions of the stocks on
hand, visible and invisible, but to the
size of the crop now coming on.

All Pay For Poor Roads

The actual money loss to the farmer
the United States by the bad roads
Of the country is not less than one
quarter Of the total home value of all
their products. The total home value
Of the annual products of the farms of
the United States is sboUs $2,5OO,000,
and the loss by bad roads is about
S6OO,OOO,OOO, so that the farmers lose
Dr. they would lose if they could stand
all that loss themselves-one-Q of
the value Of all their products by the
extra cost Of getting them to market
They do not pretend to be able to
stand all that loss themselves. They
stagger under it as we'll as they can
and bear all they can Of it, and the rest
they saddle upon the consumer and the
dealer.

The Worlds Wheat.

Speaking of wheat and the worlds
supply the Oregonian said few days
ago: The Government crop report, due
today, should have much greater value
as factor in the wheat market than
any that has yet appeared on the crop
now growing. The season has reached
point where the crop is practically
made" in some of the southern districts
and, with the exception of spring wheat,
reasonably accurate estimate ought
to be obtainable for Il large portion Of
the winter wheat area. News reports
received through the month of May
would Indicate that today's report will
show very high condition for the wheat
crop. The damage thus far has been
been very slight, weather conditions
being excellent, and but little complaint
OF insects. Basing their estimates on a
big acreage and continuance of the pre-
sent line crop conditions, experts have
inquired out prospective crop of any
where from 7O0,00O,OOO to 800, 900, 900
Dushels III this country. Of course this
is too much of a record breaker to be
carried through to harvest, and any,
thing above 600,000,OOO bushels of
actual wheat will satisfy the expectations
OF the conservative element of the trade.
record breaking crop usually means
very low prices for the cereal in this
country, but fortunately conditions this
year are more in favor OF at least fair
prices than they are of low prices. The
American visible" which held m to
4',OOO,OOO bushels as late in the season
as July last year has already declined to
5f,OOO.OOO bushels with a STRONG nro.
liability that today's statement will
place it at 35,00O,OOO bushels or less

winter wheat will be sufficiently Iaroo -

One Mans Road Work.

There lives near my home" said q
resident of ROckland, Me-, recently, "a
man named Edwin Mcintyre, who
leads a hermit life and has a queer
hobby. One of the prettiest and best
kept pieces Of road in Maine passes in
front of his lonely retreat 1t has been
built by Mr. Mcintyre, who for the last
20 years has, when not otherwise en-
gagged, employed his time picking up
rocks and stones near his home and
pounding them into pebbles, which he
has put in the highway. In % years
time he estimates that he had pounded
100000 stones and made them ready
for road use. The town authorities,
recognizing the value of the work, have
for several years compensated the man
by giving him his road tax. He claims
that he has already placed on the road
20 cords of these manufactured stones.
Other towns in Maine envy ROckland
such faithful and skillful road build

The Chicago Chronicle, a democratic
paper, says: "In the course of his recent
Kansas City speech, MIR. Bryan said 8:
"The American people have not yet vot-
ed on Imperialism; wecharged it but they
denied it," He might have added with
truth that the reason why the people
would not take the issue of imperialism
seriously was the conviction on their
part that the men who raised that issue
were much more interested in 5O,cent
dollars than they were in sound demo-
cratic principles. There never was a
chance for a new issue after the hour
when the Kansas City convention, yield
ing to the Imperialism of Mr.. Bryan
himself, Endorsed the financial follies of
the Chicago platform. Mr.. Bryan is
becoming tiresOme."

The Tekoa ManitOu is the latest paper
founded at that town. Its editor and
publisher is c. A. Smith Of the Oakesdale
News, with which it is run in conjunction.
The first issue is a great Improvement
over anything printed there since the
days of Dave Kings Globe and deserves
the individual support OF the Tekoa
people.
The Neuste Weiner Tagehlatt, in an
article advocating the formation of a
European customs league against the
United States, said a few days ago {:
america is the common enemy of all; an
enemy so formidable that each European
country must succumb unless leagued
with the rest of Europe. Even united
Europe will have hard fight"
1t is argued in some quarters that the
commerce of the Pacific is bound, from
the force of circumstances, to fall chiefly
to the United States. On the Atlantic
we have English, Norwegian, German,
French and Italian competition. On the
Pacific none of our European rivals has a
home port, while we have a long coast
line upon the ocean, besides Hawaii,
Guam, the Philippines and an equal or
superior chance at the trade of the
Iuntries west of the Pacific.
