There are great many farmers
who think it is a great advantage
TO thresh the grain out of the field
without stacking it. This may be
SO, especially in the case of flax.
But, if a machine cannot be had
at once it is poor policy to let
-your grain lie on the ground or
stand in the shock at the risk of
being damaged by rain. If your
grain is dry enough to stack and
you cannot get a machine at once
go ahead and stack it. You can
then plow your fields and get them
in shape for next year and thresh
your grain whenever you get
ready. .-Donnybrook Courier.

(or hemlock } is plant that grows
in low places and along streams in
many parts Of the state. It has a
large, feshy root, and is supposed
to be the plant from which
Socrates got his deadly medicine.
An agricultural college bulletin
has been issued about it. In the
early spring stock eat it, and in
the summer it's seeds fall in tie
manger or are scattered in hay
cast on the ground. Horses and
sheep are less affected than cattle.
Keep stock warm and moving
when sick. The most danger is in
spring, when the plant is coming
up, and young cattle are the easi-
est affected, although stock may
eat il any time-both the seeds
and the plant lF1 E1.

The Minneapolis Tribune in an
editorial calls attention to the rad
ical change that is taking place in
the conditions of stock raising in
North Dakota, and the other west
ern states. This is timely warn
ing and the day has passed when
the rancher had countless hundreds
Of acres to range his cattle on.
There will be a greater opportun-
.ity for diversified farming and the
raising Of small herds Of cattle.
The land now is great deal high
Ier, and q rancher who has neglect
ed to buy will find that he will be
compelled to pay more for his
range than IN years gone by. The
danger Of competition from the
large stock raisers is past and the
steady absorption of the land by
the small farmers is to their adj
vantage.

United States have been revolutionized through the agency of the agricultural stations established under the act of congress of 1SS7- It is believed that the same methods which have produced such fruitful results in the field of that great industry will be equally produc- tive when applied to the development of our untold mineral wealth and it seems incontestible that it is IS much the right and the duty of the federal government to extend aid in the latter case as in the former. The amount appropriated by the bill 10 forty-eight states and territories is for the first year S4S0000 and will amount ct the end of ten years to $S6O 0o0 per annum.
 Some doubt having been suggested as to whether the proceeds from the sale of public lands would he sufficient to meet the appropriation carried by this bill in addition to other appropriations already charged against the public land fund, the committee has been fur nished by the secretary of the treasury and the commissioner of the general land office with the following informa- tion:
 There has been received since the foundation of the government from the sale Of public lands the sum of S200, 3G0.O75. This amount has been cor verted into the general treasury and no charge has been made against Il. The total receipts from the disposal of pub lie lands for the fiscal yeIr ending June 90, 1901. amounted U $4.301.431. showing an increase over the pre-. ious year Of $59l.i02. De3uCting from the re- ceipts Of the fiscal year the amount sX- pended and contracted for in tn" main teuaHce of the entire land and forest administration. there remained a net surplus in the treasury from this source of $3,I5S,441.
 Of this amount about $l.3e192o was appropriated in accordance with the provisions Of the act of August $}. 1900. for the maintenance and support of the colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts. established un- der the provisions of the act of l.52. and about $720. 600 for the maintenance of agricultural experiment stations. es- tablished in accordance With the act of 1887, leaving an unGppgGpliated surplus of $1.23S,441. Out of his surplus the present bill would absorb for the first year only the comparatively small sum of S460,O and even when Il req 2ches it's maximum the amount Withdra WI would be but $SGo, ,0o5. still leaving q wide margin and clearly showing that the bill may he passed without fear of creating embarrassment in Cl.y direc- ton.

 A dispatch from Chicago in yester- days Republican made the definite
 statement that when FUNSTON Major General Eiwel g. TO SUCCEED Otis, commander of the MAC ARTHUR department Of h
 lakes. is retired on the 2zth of this month he will be succeeded by Major General Arthur MacArthur and that Brigadier General Frederick Funston will succeed General MacAr- thur as commander of the department of the Colorado. The promotion of General MacArthur to the Chicago de- paItInent-for such d transfer is, in sense. a promotion-was forecast ir these columns several days ago. hence for the people Of this section the news that the commander Of this department is to reIirqtIish it for more desirable command. is not a surprise.
 From a purely selfish standpoint. the people of Arizona, and of the entire territory embraced in the department of the Colorado. would, of course, be delighted to have General Macarthur remain in command: for wherever the general has gone among the people h. has made hosts of friends He haa manifested everyw here a keen interest in local affairs, and has exhibited E breadth Of mind and a ready under standing of country and conditions which has made everybody wish th5t it might suit him and suit the war. de- partment for him to remain in i'm mediate touch with the mountain de partment. Not since the days of Gen eraI Crook have the people so generally and spontaneously warmed" to the chief army officer for this region. But as a matter oc fact. Arizona and this department will lose nothing after ali- by the departure of General MacA;- thur for a more eastern command. H. will retain the deep regard he has formed for the people of the west and his peculiar genius for quickly ah- scrbing a great fund Of information has equipped him in splendid fashion to speak inteIligently concerning this rs- zion in his communications with the authorities at Washington. and 1t is really fortunate for Arizona that j!. fC:enaraI fIacArthur we shall have upor au occasions a friend in close touch with the president and federal officials at Washington. if the general is con- suited regarding military affairs in this territory. il will hardly be possible for the administration to make a mistake 1 Concerning the one military matter which Arizona has chiefly ct heart tha reoc ccuparion of Whipple barracks there can be no prediction as to Gen eraI MacArthur's position. fer he has ' given out not the slightest intima ticn of his views: but since he has at al i times shown such a thorough grasp of { all the affairs Of his department i- is felt that the territory cannot fail to benefit from his intimate knowledge cf it's affairs.

JNYEHtsTING SCH EME.

That is an interesting scheme of the Southwest Wireless Telegraph Ship Company of England, which will anchor an iron ship in the ocean one hundred and ten miles off Lands End, in Corn wall, and sixty miles south of Ireland. It will be in permanent communication with England by means of Marconis system of wireless telegraphy, and will be equipped with a powerful electric searchlight and foghorn so that ap- preaching vessels may know when they come near to 1t. The water is but sev- enty fathoms deep, and the vessel is to be moored to heavy anchor, the cable from which, instead of entering a hawse-hole in the bow, will be brought into a we'll near the center of the ship. This ship will serve as a point of com- munication between incoming sh ps and the land. News will be transmitted to shore, and instructions as to which port to make can be sent by the owners to the captains of their vessels. The car go can be sold in Liverpool or Glasgow or London, wherever the best market can be found, and can be ordered at once to the point where it is needed without calling at any intermediate port. Incoming ships will have the great advantage of finding exactly where they are, and the danger of ap- preaching the coast will be greatly re- duced
 This looks reasonable. Perhaps by and by there will be similar stations all the way across.

SOME HONOR IN PAR,S.

M. Barboux, a distinguished Parisian advocate, seems to be in danger of los- ing his ''honor.' though he may save his life. In court the other day he made some disagreeable reflections upon the character of a fascinating widow. the plaintiff in a civil suit. The woman al- legged that she had been libelled and in- stituted proceedings against M. Bar boux. No Paris lawyer would take the case, so she conducted it herself. The magistrates decision was adverse to the angry widow. It seems that in French courts when an advocate makes a state ment derogato to any person concern- ed in the litigation that person must protest immediately and ask the court to take note of the allegation and pro- test. The indignant widow didn't do as the law directs. So the magistrate de- cided that even if M. Barboux had made slanderous and insulting allega- tions about the lady in the case, she had no remedy in law. The case was dismissed, the widow being compelled to pay ali the costs.
 But the fascinating widow was not left without support, even if the court wouldn't support her. The Prince de Sagan stood up for her. No sooner had M. Barboux been acquitted by the mag istrate and left the court room than the Prince attacked him, dealing the lawyer a slight blow in the face with one hand and with the other hand presenting his card. This meant a duel, but M. Bar
 boux declined to accept it as it was
 meant and promptly instituted pro- ceedings for assault against the widows princely champion. The Prince says this will happen next: "A proces verbal of disqualification will be taken to M. Barboux by two of my friends, as the result of which, if he persists in refus- ing to fight, he will be officially disqual- flied; that is to say we will no longer be able to shake hands with him and will be forced, if he comes toward us, to cross the street, or, if he finds himself near us, to put our hands behind our backs. If he strikes us We cannot re- ply. M. Barboux, once disqualified can never challenge anyone to a duel" Seeing that M. Barboux doesn't want to challenge anybody to duel and

Eighteen large buildings are being erected. On one of them is a tower designed to give an excellent view of the surrounding country. The cost of the buildings which are being constructed entirely or wood and zinc sheets, will be about $S49,oOO. while the total cost of the pre- parations for the fair including the laying out of the grounds, etc, will be considerably over half a million dol lars.

.EJEFF.'' THE WINNER.

Those in New Haven (and they were many) who sat up nearly all night in order to have early knowledge of what "Fitz" did to Jeff and Jeff" to "Fitz'' were rewarded by the thrilling news which came along about two this morning that Jeff" had disposed of 'Fitz" in the eighth round. As most people expected that Jeff would lick "Fitz" and as most of the money was on "Jeff," the result will be more gener- ally satisfactory than it would have been if ''Fitz'' had licked Jeff And perhaps it will not greatly interfere with some other pugilistic plans for money-making which are in the works
