TEE IN ENGLAND.
BartIett's Consolidation Proposition
Is EmphaticaIIy Declined.

London, Oct. 25.-On the author
ity of the secretary of one Of the
largest steel companies in England
a representative of the Associated
Press is able to say that there will
not be any steel trust formed here.
There may possibly be. some combina-
tons of the smaller concerns, but
the steel trade Of England is practic.
ally in the hands Of three firms, and
these concerns emphatically say that
they contemplate no amalgamation or
absorption.
It appears that a firm of London
brokers associated with John r. Bart
lett of New York approached the lead
ing houses here, but received an en-
phatic refusal to agree to the propo-
sition made.
Bolokow, Vaughn & Co., whose cap
ital is $4,000, 600, informed the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press that
whatever success Mr.. Bartlett might
have with smaller e he would
not form anything that could, in COM
mon sense, be called a trust without
the inclusion of Guest, Keen & Co.,
with a capital of $4,000, 900; Cam.
ell & Co., with a capital of Gl,05O, 900,
and Bolokow, Vaughan & Co., all of
whom agree in denying that they in
tend to combine.
Mr.. Bartlett's proposition is not
taken seriously.
Representatives IF Andrew Carne-
gle, J. P. Morgan and others, who
would be likely to be affected if such
a trust were within sight, are all ig-
norant of even it's suggestion, and
pointed out the futility of endeavor-
ing to amalgamate the large steel in
terests of England with such an mad
equate capital as the sum of G1O,OOO,-
900 mentioned in the reports in cir
culation.
While inquiry made proved the cor
rectness of the reports that the for
nation of a trust was impending,
they ELECTED the opinion from a lead
ing English firm that eventually the
Welsh manufacturers would combine,
propably under the auspices of Guest,
Keen & Co.
But even the Welsh combine, it
was said, would require more than
G10,0 900, 900 capital, and it was added
that such an amalgamation would
have little or no effect on the English
manufacturers.

MINNEsoTA.loWA GAME DRAWS
LARGE CROWD.
NORTH STAR TEAM WIN
Hawkeyes Play Fast Game But Fail
to Score-Other Saturday
Games.

Minneapolis, Oct. 26.-Eleven thou
sand people witnessed second cham
pionship game between Minnesota and
Iowa, at Northrop field this afternoon
which resulted in victory for the for
mer by a score of 16 to O.. The game
was characterized by brilliant playing
throughout, and only twice was Min.
nesota's goal in danger. Iowa had a
lighter team but played a faster game.
Minnesota made many of her gains by
mass formations through Iowa's line.
Each team played a kicking game
with an occasional end run. Five
minutes before the first half was I'D
Minnesota crossed the line for her
first touchdown.
During the second half Iowa had
the ball in Minnesota's territory a
large part of the time. Lafans for
Minnesota distinguished himself by
making a sixty yard run for a touch
down.
Iowa men were continually laid out.
Captain Williams of Iowa, was ruled
out for professionalism and Griffith
played a brilliant game at quarter
back. ..
Outweighed but not outplayed were
the Hawkeyes, and it was impossible
to Withstand the rushes of Mime
sofas big men.
The Iowa team deserve great credit
for the perfect play they put up
against such odds, only fumbling
twice during the whole seventy min
utes played. In defensive work Iowa
surpassed Minnesota but with all
her speedy interference she was I'M
able to score against her heavier Cd
ponents.

THREsHlNG VS.. sHREDDING THE
CORN CROP.

We have lately been noting the
relative merits of the threshed and
shredded corn fodder. By removing
eyty other tooth from the cylinder
ard concave the corn can be rapidly
shelled and the fodder well shredded
without injury to the machine, the ay-
erage machine easily disposing Of
twenty acres of corn in a day. The
sole objection to this plan is that the
shelled corn is never dry enough to
keep without spelling unless spread
out thinly over a large surface. The
fodder is put in excellent shape for
fseding-just as good as though
shredded. There is perhaps another

work now, husking the corn in most

Of the cornfodder question.

PLEASANT WORK FOR WOMEN.

Nearly every town and community
all over the country has more or less
women, some of them widows, some
old maids, whom a cruel fate has COM
PEELED to face the world and work out
their own living. Some of them sew,
some take in washing, some work out
and help their neighbors, some nurse
the sick, nearly all having at best but
limited and precarious means OF
support, their sole property consist
ing OF a small home which they own.
For these we have word which may
prove helpful. There are two ways
in which woman so situated can
greatly better her condition.; one is to
take her lot of ground and convert
it into a poultry yard; the other is
to convert it into good garden. IL
poultry is preferred, some one of the
nOn-sitting varieties of fowls should
be selected and they should be pure
blood, as an extra price can then be
obtained for a good many eggs for
setting purposes. The Houdan, Wy
andotte, Black Spanish and Leghorn
are good ones for this purpose. An
incubator should be used and chick
ems raised, but the most profit will
be obtained from the fresh eggs which
will always sell at good prices. The
garden should be devoted, not to all
sorts of vegetable, but rather to a
few specialties, such as asparagus,
celery, strawberries, radishes, herbs,
things which will produce great
deal of money from a small area. We
cannot from lack of space give all the
details which would insure success
in these two enterprises, but should
any lady read this article and become
interested in the SUGGESTIONS made, 1t
will be easy for her to obtain the in
formation desired. We know of wo-
men w-.o are doing this work very
successfully and with much pleasure
and profit and hundreds more might
do as well

We induce poultry to occupy a good
hen coop as roosting place instead
OF using trees, fences and other ex-

to is an hereditary trait, the ancestors
Of our common fowls never massing

TIMBER CULTURE,

The economic value Of a ten-acre
grove of timber on the prairie farm
cannot be refuted. The warmth,
shelter and protection afforded by
such a grove when located properly
become almost invaluable returns.
Such grove ten years from planting
will furnish all the fuel needed by
the owner as well as wood for a hun
dred and one useful purposes on the
farm The willow and cottonwood
will bring in returns the quickest, but
the quality of the product is poor;
the soft maple will grow almost as
fast and is a much better grade of
timber; the white ash grows slowly
for the first fifteen years but after
that becomes one of the very best
and most valuable forest trees to use;
the European larch has great merit
and at the end of thirty years would
be worth several hundred dollars per
acre for use as telephone and tele-
graph poles; the catalpa up to the
limit OF its northern growth is an
other fine tree we'll adapted to the
latitude south of AZ the black wal
nut on rich, moist soils will prove a
good tree, but not on high. dry lands;
the white pine, the Australian pine for
the better grade of soils and the red
cedar for the hillsides and knobs are
reliable evergreens. The elms make
the best of shade trecs, but we would
not plant them for any other pur-
pose. III we were FNi2g to open up

join lands with us to cooperate and
own jointly the timber on the line di-
viding the farms. This plan would
make the equivalent of 131s acres of
timber on the farm, allowing a strip
of fifty feet in width for the trees. A
prairie farm so planted will without
any doubt whatever produce more
