been set apart for this purpose. Shrubs
and perennial grasses will be grown in
such places, screening buildings and
identifying the landscape, as to make
them object lessons In what may easily
be done on any farm. We will not go in
for the fancy or foreign things, except as
they are brought for experimentation. The
main object will be to show what can be
done by any enterprising farmer with the
material at his hand.
There is another feature of the farm
which will make 1t interesting. In sur
veying it, the land has been marked in
checkerboard fashion, on a scale which
marks it into decimal parts Of acre.
There will be roads and paths eight rods
apart, and then the space between is
staked with landmarks, SO that the rows
when planted will be in tens. BY count
ing the rows it will be possible to know
just what part of an acre is embraced
in certain plot of ground. BY harvesting
a certain number Of rows 1t will be pos
sible to tell without calculation how much
the crop is yielding to the acre.
II anticipate that this model farm will
become in few years one Of the most at
tractive points of interest to many people
who come to Washington, and will be of
inestinaable practical value in showing in
tangible and visible form the theories of
the department"

DON'T FEAR A TRUST
Minneapolis Meat Retailers Say the
Big, New. Combine Can't
1njure Them.
They Are Too Near the Source
of Supply to Be En-
barrassed.

Minneapolis meat dealers are not at all
worried over the formation Of the new
meat trust In New Jersey. They have
successfully combatted a meat combine
before, and If the new organization shows
a pecnicious activity, they are prepared
to defeat its plans so far as MINNEAPOLIS
is concerned.
The Retail Butchers sRrptective associa-
.tion Of New York sin 4conjunction with
the state grange, have already opened
campaign against the meat corporation.
They are moving for bill at the next
bounty on all meat produced in New
York. :.tT f,u ,f
Minneapolis dealers do not believe such
a campaign necessar,yHn Minneapolis. New
York butchers are" not in the heart of a.
farming country, where cattle are for sale,
and they are long haul from the ranges.
AS long as John Doe, farmer, has cows
Sheep and hogs to25sell, the Minnea polls
retailers do not fear the trust. When
ever Minneapolis dealer needs meat, he
can go into the country, buy few heaN
OF cattle, butcher them and haul the meat
to the city. Local dealers can also go
to the stock yards and secure what ami
mails they need by fitting the price cents.
They can afford to do this, as they sell
direct to the consumer, while the trust
has a n1ddleman's profit account to
settle. The range man will be glad to sell
at the advance
While Minneapolis retailers realize that
they can protect themselves, they are not
expecting to be forced to employ defen-
sive measures. Owing to severe COMPETE
ton, some of the smaller packers have
been selling at loss. The getting to-
gether will lop Off expenses all over the
country. This will result in increased
dividends even on the same price basis
as now exists. It ise possible that still
another expense will be overcome by the
coalition. A great many drivers are en-
ployed by the agencies at SIS week.
The salaries and the cost Of the care of
the horses, a considerable iteni may be
stopped. Such action will compel butchers
to call for meat instead Of receiving 1t at
the door. This inconvenience to the re-
taller will not necessarily increase the
cost Of meat to the consumer.

Rotation Provision.

The primary election law provision for
rotating the names of candidates has
caused confusion. Inquiries have come to
the attorney generals office, asking
whether the candidates are not rotated
on the general election ballot. C.. w.
Somerby, assistant attorney general, has
replied to all these that names are ro-
tated, except where one party has more
than one candidate, as in electing two
members of the legislature. Then the
names are rotated within the party the
parties keeping their relative positions.
