Denver, Colo, Aug. 14.--Cnosten-
tatiously, as becsme the man. says
the News this :norning, General VIII
liam j. Palmer of Colorado Springs
has distributed over $1,OOO.OOO among
the employees of the Rio Grande West
ern Railroad Company. The gifts
range from $1,000 to section forsmen
to $4,000 received by Colonel u. Z.
Dodge and George kramer
Perhaps no one can boast OF having
experimental with cooperative iapof
and having obtained such wonderful
success as General Palmer. Although
there was no such stipulation IN the
contracts and although they obtained
4 stated wage, regardless OF the nuc-
tuatIons of the earnings, nevertheless
when the time arrived that ne couiu'
In a measure, divide the gains, Cen
eral Palmer showed that he was ny
no means insensible to the faithful
services of his employees.
About twenty years ngo when the
Rio Grande Western was hrst pro)ect-
ed 1t looked like great big undertak-
ing, but General Palmer had n stout
heart and faith in himself and above
all the most implicit faith In the west
ern country and its possibilities. That
1t was justified has, of course. been
proven by later results and six months
ago when 10000 shares of Rio Grande
preferred stock which was valued at
$fO4 per share, was divided all the
men from the section hands to the SUI
perintendent received n portion OF the
dividends.
When General Palmer first decided to
try the experiment of the Rio Grande
Western, MS is well known, there was
scarcely n settlement between Grand
Junction and Salt Lake.
General Palmer went in n freight
train visiting the gangs Of men wher-
ever they were at work. He had n
talk with every man In his employ,

When the writ was applied for yes

ask that the case be advanced on the

sertion that he will not make such n

that II cannot be reached by the Su-

the meantime the next regular session
of the Legislature will have been con-

Trolley Roads for a Country.

We do not go much on prophesying

the country trolley system into all
localities removed so far as ten miles
from steam railway. The east il

some profit to the owners and to
the unit old benefit of the communities
which they serve. The trolley comes
the nearest to being everybody's road
of anything yet evolved in the way
of transportation. While it is operat.
ed on a time schedule, it stops any
where and accommodates everybody
along its route. The conductor be.
comes purchasing agent for lis
patrons and fills Their orders and de.
livers the goods with as much
promptness as though the purchasers
lived in town. Built of standard
gauge track, the freight cars pick
up the heavier and bulky farm prod.
ucts, such as stock, grain etc., and
deliver them to the steam road in
the city. In word, the country
trolley line, cheaply built and op'
Grated, affords every convenience or
fered by the steam road, and the add.
ed advantage that u is infinitely
more adaptable to The wants ard
needs of the community. Wherever
capitalists are willing II put theif
money into such roads the farmers
of the community snould extend IN
the road their hearty and loyal sup
port. The trolley, the telephone and
the rural ma are The agencies thai
are destined to regenerate country
life and country business.

We have heretofore referred to
the Angora goat and its great value
for subduing brush and timbered
lands. We would like TO emphasize
the matter still further. If any read.
er of these notes in any state knows
of brush land which can be bought
cheaply, there is a snap for him in
buying it and fencing ii aid putting

goats will convert the brush tract in.

valuable tract of blue grass pasture

and large bushes are cu3 eff the first
year. No grubbing viii be needed,
for the goats will Ell. every shoot
and twig which appears. and thus the
grubs will all rot, and at the end OF
five years may be removed with a
pillow or pick. There are very many
localities where this may be done
with nice profit.

Barn Swallows.

A colony of barn swallows pre-
empted the caves ON the north side
of big barn, and the owner of the
barn, being not a lover of birds, kept
a long pole ready to tear down the
swallows nests as fast as they could
build them. The effJrts of these
birds to build their nests and rear
their young under such discouraging
conditions were almost pathetic. Day
after day the nest would be laid up
in wonderful bird masonry, only to
be wrecked after this old codger had
finished milking his cows in the even
ing. Whether he broke them up aud
drove them away we do not know,
but if it had been our barn they
could have made their home there in
peace,

The hardest work for women con.
nected with farm life is the cooking,
the washing and the butter-making.
In most localities the creamery has
stepped in and relieved the housewife
of the care of the dairy, cooperative
effort among farmers having worked
out a complete revolution in this par
ticular. Now why could not the same
principe of cooperation be further
applied as to the making and baking
of all breadstuffs and the doing of all
the washing of community? Why
should twenty over-worked women
slave over wash-tubs one day each
week and work hard to make from
ten to twenty loaves of bread at
twenty different homes, when a cou-
pie of strong men with proper appli.
ances would do all this work at some

Buviog Land Without Seeing Il

The Bible refers to a certain man
who bought piece of land without
seeing it, and while the. record does
not state whether he got beat or
not, the chances are that he did. This
prompts the remark that about the
most foolish thing a man can do is
to buy land without seeing it, and
lots of men are doing this thing
every day now in their eager craze
to get hold of land. We would not
invest a dollar in any land until we
had tested the soil and the subsoil
to a depth of at least three feet, tall
we had ascertained the average rain
fall for series of years in the To-
cality and quantity of water accessi-
BILE by digging or boring, until we
knew what sort of crops the climate
and soil would produce and the class
of people which were 70 become per-
manent neighbors.

Rabies.

In a certain community in the west
dog went mad, and during the raid
which it made before it was killed
lit bit nineteen cows in a dairy herd.
which all sooner or later were at
tackled with rabies and died. The
owner of these cows was wealthy
and influential man in the community
and the milk of these cows was re.
ceived at the local creamery during
the time which elapsed between the
biting by the dog and abe outbreak
Of the disease in the animal. A pro-
test was entered against this sort
of business, but was overruled by the
creamery officials on the ground that
the milk of such cows was harmless,
even though they had been inocu.
lated with the virus of the rabies.
We are asked to say whether this
assumption was right or wrong. II
is a common error which classes
poisons into two types-those which
act directly on the circulatory system
such as the poison of snakes, and
those which work through the di.
gestive system, such as arsenic or
strychnine, many people believing
that unless such poisons are admins.
tered through the medium through
which they are said to operate, they
are harmless. This Is clearly mis-.
take, for an injection of morphine
or strychnine into the blood direct
viii produce the same results though
not as rapid and marked, as though
taken into the stomach. The virus of
rabies IL what may be termed blood
poison and without doubt might be
absorbed into the system through
the stomach just as the other poisons
referred to. Whether such virus be.
fore the development of the disease
in the cow could be communicated
through the medium of the cows
milk to the user Of such milk is q
question which it will take wiser
man than the writer to answer. 1t
brings up the old wrangle over the
question of Observation-Disclosures the
milk from cow infected with this
disease can transmit the disease, and
on this ma)ttter it win be recalled
the doctors and scientists are widely
at variance. Looking at the PROPOSE
ton as submitted, we would say that
common decency, allied with nat
ural instinct of self-preservation COM
mon TO all, would dictate that such
milk was unfit for use and the man
who offered 1t for sale or use and the
creamery officials who refused to bar
1t out were alike culpable and deserv-
ing of censure. People who had such
milk or the butter made from such
milk sold to them would be justified
having mild attack Of rabies On
