The Secretary of Agriculture: il
about TO organize a new service that
must prove to be of great benefit to
the farmers Of the United States. Last
year he asked that herexisting system
of inspection and cerlification of meats
and meat products for export be. ex-
tended so as to include butter, cheese
and condensed milk. The act grant
ing this auth GRITTY went into effect July
l, and Secretary Wilson has been bust
iy perfecting the details of this new
work. How valuable it will be to the
farmers is indicated by the fact that
the exports of cheese from the United
States to England grew to 100000, 900
pounds a year. But then began the
expectation of adulterated cheese, and
our English market was speedily lost.
vt the same time Canada set up /, sys-
tenn of government inspection and cap
tnred the trade that unscrupulous mer-
chants here had spoiled for the dairy
farms of the United States. ), Such
cheese as is now sent from the United
States, to England goes by way of
Montreal. SO that it may share the in
spection and guarantee enjoyed by the
Canadian produce. Almost parallel is
the story of the loss of the English
market for American butter. The new
inspection promises to revive our ex-
portation of dairy products and it's
successful application will reflect ad-
ditional credit upon the administra-
tion of our department of agriculture.

Vice President Roosevelt will open
the fair on Monday, Sept. 2, making

Premiums have been increased and
total of $40, 900 inprizes is offered for

of this money will go to agriculture
exhibits. The new Agricultural Hall
for which the legislature appropriated

Author Made a Happy Hit.

One OF the most popular novels of the
day had a strange history which might
have been considered fatal to Its sue
cess had 1t been known in advance. A
New York author whose books are al.
ways sure of certain degree of popu-
larity finished all but the last few chan.
tiers of novel. Try as he might, 1t was
impossible for him to complete the
story satisfactorily. So he put the book
away. and for two years 1t lay unfinish-
ed on his desk, although the author
thought Of the work from time to time
without being able to get any nearer
the solution of the plot.
Finally he lost all hope of ever com.
plotting the work and decided TO end II
at point several chapters In advance
OF that at which he had ceased to write
With this abrupt and unexpected end.
Ing the novel went to n publisher. was
accepted and turned out one of the
most popular novels this author has
ever written. One Of the most praised
features Of the book Is its unconven.
tional ending, which is said to be lust
explicit enough to satisfy EVERYDAY
without going into inartistlc detail. And
the author was at one time so dIscour-
aged about the ending of the book that
he had almost given up the idea of sub.
hitting 1t to any publisher New York

Some time ago when Prince Henry
of Prussia, who, as all know, Is the
grandson of Queen Victoria, was at
Hong Kong, the captain of n British
trading steamer sailing out Of that port
was walking round the craving dock in
which the Princes flagship was being
brushed up, when he saw an officer
standing near the gangway leading
from the quay TO the ship, and, being
curious to have look over the vessel,
he saluted with Good morning, sir"
and asked II he had any objection to
his having a walk through the ship.

After showing him over the different
parts of the warshlp the officer took the
captain into his cabin. He offered him
a cigar and a glass of wine, and they
had quite friendly chat together. Be-
fore leaving the captain happened to
glance round the cabin and saw photo
of Victoria. Said he to the officer:
81 notice you have a photograph Of
the Queen of England"

mile from the bank when the poor anil

I'VE did our best, but we might as well
have tried to stop the wind. In one
mad whlrling rush, gathering speed as
they went, the bands crowded together
and reached the river in dense, strug-
lgling mass. They plunged in, climbing
over each other, and plling up until it
looked as II we might lose them all.
I'VE, of course, plunged after them, tow

of the river, until every man was quite
exhausted. When we got the flock out
of the tangle we found there were no
fewer than 500 lambs drowned. Mr..
Martin rode back to warn the other out
tit to hold their bands at safe distance
from the river and bring on one band
at a time. This was done, and so they
were able to get across without loss.
We followed no roads, but struck out
across open country wherever forage
was good At night we always tried
to find hillside for the camp. Sheep
have great many peculiar notions,
and will only lie down quietly on hill

time to Craze; but we herders walked
and ran several times that distance.
