In 1855 It required on the average
four hours and "a minutes OF the time
OF a laboror TO do the ploughlng, har-
rowing. oultivatlng, etc. that went TO
the producing Of bushel OF Indian
corn, and the price OF that laborer was
nearly 30 cents on the average. To-
day machines have changed conditions.
Their use has reduced tho necessary
time Of ;he laborer TO about "a min
utes and the cost OF Il TO about lOif
cents. The wages are. however much
better now than In 1855. In 1880 the
time required TO produce each hushel
OF wheat was over three hours, it Is
now about 10 minutes. the cost has
been reduced from over II cents to
about cents Before the introduce
ton OF machines the time devoted 10
producing each ton Of hay was about
35ia hours; Il Is now liA hours In
1860 the corresponding cost was over
50: Il Is now about si.2o. These and
many other comparisons OF the sort
are TO be found in a report By Mr.
Holmes printed by the Department Of
Agriculture In Washington.

degrees OF the suns heat. on one oc-
caslon. II being unusually cold In Swift
zerland. a butterfly common there took

L.apland On the other hand. butterflies
which were subjected to a higher de-
gree OF solar heat than the normal
looked as II they had beon born and
raised In Corsica or Syria. One result
OF these novel experiments Is the pro-
ductlon OF butterflies Of an entirely

wildering beauty.

Company r the Guest of the "Rammy,,
Drtnkle Home.

The members of Company F. were
very pleasantly entertained at the
home of "Rammy" Drinkle Monday
evening. The company met as usual
in the armory and after a short drill
we're ordered to put their guns in the
rack. They we're then marched to
the street and came to a halt before
the Drinkle residence. Very few OF
the boys knew anything about the
pleasure in store for them and the
eveningIwas a total surprise to all.
Not until the order came to break
ranks did the boys have any sus-
picion of what was coming and when
they were dismissed they simply
took things by storm. There was no
special program but everyone en-
joyed himself to the utmost. Mrs.
Virginia K. Logan favored the COM
pany with a solo which was highly
appreciated and there was other in
teresting entertainment during the
evening. Ice cream and cake were
served and everyone had a royal
good time.
