Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 5.-(Special
to The Republican.)-At 2 o'clock this
afternoon State Chairman Van Orsdel
issued the following statement of ma
jorities for the state ticket in Wyo-
ming:
Albany county. $50.
Carbon county, 700.
Sweetwater county. 300.
Uinta county. 700.
Fremont county, $50.
Natrona county. 800.
Converse county, $50.
Weston county, $50.
Crook county, $50.
Weston county. 300.
Sheridan county. 300.
Johnson county, 100.
Big Horn county, 400
Laramie county, $50.
This will give a total of 5000.
Judge Groesbeck received twice as
many votes for justice of the supreme
court in Albany county as in all the
other counties of the state combined.
The socialist vote in the state was
trifing.
In Natrona county Mr.. Norton will
have between SO and 60 majority for
judge Of the Second judicial district,
Governor Richards majority in the
state will be between 1920 and $500.
Mr.. Mondell will receive a majority of
$500
Henry G. Hay for state treasurer has
a majority in Laramie county of 1856
and it may go to 800.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. Sat $3.50
a. M, Chairman Van Orsdel OF the re-
publican state committee gave out the
following statement:
Sixty precincts out of $50 in the
state give Mondell for congress 3.511.
Clemmons. 1872. Same precincts in
1900 gave Mondell 2,765. Thompson.
1904. At this ratio Mondell will have
q majority of 5000 in the state.
The same precincts give Richards
for governor 3,173; Beck 2,O6O. In
1898 these precincts gave Richards
2,247: Alger 1.796. At this ratio Rich
ards will have a majority of $500.
The balance of the state ticket
shows an average republican vote
of 3.246: democratic 1911. Same pre-
cincts in 1898 gave the republicans
1898; democrats 1888. If this ratio
Is continued the republican state tick
ct will have a majority of $500. Pres
ent returns indicate that the republi-
al have elected every member of
both houses of the legislature.
The above estimates are based upon
average precincts largely collected
from the southern part Of the state.
Mondell will have even heavier
gains in the northern counties and the
state ticket will hold its own in the
northern counties. Every candidate
on the republican state ticket will car
ry every county in the state except
Albany, which will give a small ma
jcrity for Mrs. DeLario.

ROADS IN GERMANY.
How They Are Kept in Repair With
out AnyAppreciable Cost to
T., the Taxpayers.

Americans concede that roadmaking
in Germany is fine art. Few, how
ever, realize that road repairing has
been reduced to comparatively cheap
art as well. wish devotedly that local
societies could be former in order to
study it, and apply the results of the
study to country roads in America.
/ spoke once on the subject to an audi
ence of leading citizens in Ulster coun-
ty in New York, an ideal county to ex-
pertinent in, having all the three chief
things for success. I mean stones,
pauplaers and fruit trees. Germans,
namely, find that it pays to encourage
peasants to free their fields of stones;
the property rises in withdrawing
value. The stones thrown into heaps
by the roadside are purchased by the
district road-repairing commission.
Poor men, who otherwise would have
to be supported in almshouses, are
hired to break these stones, and then
are trained to the work of repairing
the roadbeds. The money to pay the
men lis made by auctioning off to
the highest bidder the crops of the
fruit trees that were planted on both
sides of the highway when it was built.
and which are nourished well by the
manure that falls along the road and
is pushed at intervals by road tender
upon their roots. The purchaser of
the crop sees to it that his fruit is not
stolen. The road commissioners have
10 bother about that. And although
the sale is by auction, it brings in con-
siderable. Every burgher knows how
much, because the sales Of highway
fruit crops are published in the local
ncwspapers.-Coun Won Krockow.

Amount or Seed to Sow.

The amount of grain to sow per
acre is question of considerable inn
portance, since the saving of half a
peck per acre is SIS to $40 on every
100 acres of wheat sown. 1t is not
we'll to skimp the seed, but too much
is as bad as too little; not only is it
a waste of seed, but the plants will
be too crowded to develop in the
highest degree. The right amount of
seed, then, is the question, and yet to
say what will apply in every case is
not possible. By using averages. the
proper amount under average condi-
tons may be stated, but what would
be too little in dry summer would
be too much in a wet one. The i'm
plement used in sowing also has an
influence on the amount of seed to
SOW. It is generally conceded that it
is good practice to sow a peck less of
seed with drill than with the broad
cast seeder.-Midland Farmer.

A VERY STRONG LETTER.

La Fargo, Wis. VIM. T. Payne, of
this place, has written a rather start
ling letter to the papers. He says:
II was in great pain across my back
for four weeks, and was taking med
icine from a doctor all the time, but
it did not do me any good.
II bought box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and had not taken more than
four or five doses before noticed
that they were doing me good.
''They helped me right along, and
I kept on using them till had used
four boxes, when the pain left me al
together. One box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills has done me more good than
five dollars worth of doctors med
icine.
''This remedy has certainly worked
wonders in my case, and feel it my
duty to give it the credit due"

Earm Lands in the West.

Whatever may be said of low
prices of farm lands east of the Al
leghenies, there is no doubt that
farms of the central valleys, from the
eastern to the western mountains,
are advancing rapidly, and are in de-
mand at greatly increased prices.
Plenty Of land in Illinois has reached
the $500 mark, and farms of the Mis-
souri, valley, from Kansas to Mime
sofa, are steadily increasing in value.
As western competition becomes
more intense, western farmers and
the congressman who represent them
demand expensive irrigation and
more free farms, while eastern farm
crs have failed to ask for government
supnlies of free fertilizers; and east
ern gardeners have made no demand
for appropriations for plant houses
and other aids to production.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

A Mammoth Hay Farm.

Five thousand acres of swamp land
in Oregon, says the Hay Journal, will
be reclaimed and made to produce
hay, if project set on foot by live
stock company shall prove successful.
This company has built a dredge,
with which it proposes to dig ditch
60 feet wide and nine feet deep
through the center of the swamp
which covers a large proportion OF
Molheur county. BY means of this
ditch it is proposed to drain the
swamp and convert it into great
hay field. 1t is estimated that 100000
tons of hay can be produced annual
ly, where now nothing but swamp
grass flourishes. A San Francisco
company has secured contract to
operate the dredge, and it is esti-
mated that two years will be re-
quired to complete the ditch.

Ten minutes later when they stood up
to sing he saw his mistake. Good heav-
ems! He forgot everything but the awful
| dilemma he was in. Finally the sub bass
nudged him. "Why don't you sing?" he
! asked, gazing in blank establishment into
| his white face.
Then, with the cold sweat beading his
forehead. Orlando Hines began the bass
| repeat with desperateness scarcely ever
entering into an Easter song.
When he sat down again everything
was unintelligible pantomime until the Sec
ond treble beamed at him over her book.
She had accepted him for all time! For
minute the crowd melted into hazy dis.
lance, and he wondered if the gossips
would gossip much if he died then and
there? But his good sense came to the
rescue; he shut his eyes moment to
collect his thoughts, then opening them:
he looked at Ruth. Why, how sweet and
graceful she was! He ought to have seen
that before. And she was as good and
pure as the saints; what more could b.
desire?
Instinctively his eyes sought the eyea
of the first treble, perhaps for compar.
ison, and he saw her look angrily, hauGht'
lily down on Miss Hamlin. He had not
thought she could do that. Then he
was glad that the whisperings had mixed
up the Easter bonnet and Orlando Hines
as we'll. So he came to himself, smiled his
sweetest and kissed the tips of the fingers
Of the second treble.
But, be it said to Charity AIMS credit,
she was putting on the proud exterior to
mask the chagrined interior. From the
moment she entered the church, the Bent
ly banknote, as it were, Knocked her from
the innocent head of Ruth Hamlin. And,
more than that; she saw the tickle Or
lando's billet doux fall lovingly into her
lap. After that everybody and everything
was perfect torture, pure and simple; but
the leading bass was judging from ap'
pearances only.
And everybody went home from St.
GATHERINGS wondering about one of two
things; why Miss Bently changed her
mind from a dream in blue to poem in
gray, and why Orlando Hines came so
near breaking down in the opening piece.

Culture of Strawberries.

There are three methods now fol-
lowed by the best growers, known as
hill culture, the hedge row and the
half-matted row. BY the first, plants
are set from IL to 1s inches apart in
the row, and all runners kept off 50
that no other plants can form. The
hedge row method consists in having
plants from to IL inches in the
row, with runners kept off; and the
half-matted row method is to plant
in the usual manner with plants Is
to 36 inches in the row. the first run
ners that appear just where wanted
until there is row about IL inches
wide, with plants not more than six
inches apart. After the row is filled
in this manner, keep the runners off,
as in the hill and hedge row method.

Celebration of Easter
4 2HE observance of Easter is almost
as old as the Christian Church. 1t

as old as the Christian Church. 1t
was recognized as religious fes.
tival within 800 years after the resurrec-
ton of Christ, but it was not till the
eighth century that its celebration be-.
came common throughout the Christian
world. In the western countries of Eu-
rope it was always kept on Sunday, but
the churches in Asia kept it on the third
day after the 18th of the Jewish month
Nissan, whatever day of the week this
might be. This was the Jewish rule, which
aimed to keep the actual anniversary Of
the day of the resurrection (as we oh
serve Christmas), while the gentles pre-,
ferred to observe the Lords day which
comes next after the actual anniversary.
The council Of Aries, in A. D. 3l4, ordered
Easter to be observed at the same time
throughout Christendom, and the councils
of Nicaea, A. D. 1926, ruled that it was to
be celebrated only on the Lords day, and
not on week day. It was not, however,
until the year TIA that the computation
of the time of Easter was fully settled
and uniformity secured. The rule was
then laid down that Easter day is always
the first Sunday after the full moon which
happens upon or next after the 2lst of
March. If the full moon happens on
a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday
after,

OWNS I AR GEST FARM.
It Consists of IA Ranches. Containtns
10000 Acres, and Ii Owned by
100 n Miss0urian,

David Rankin, of Tarkio, Mo-, owns
the largest cultivated tract of land in
the world, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer. 10 those who have never WIS.,
tied a large ranch the methods neces-
sary to carry on the vast amount of
work would seem great problem.
Mr.. Rankin owns IA ranches, contain
ing $4,000 acres; 700 teams and 22O
men are required to operate the daily
routine work in the busy season while
the crops are under cultivation. Each
ranch has an overseer, who is required
to make monthly report and to SUBJ
init the same to his employer. The
records of the past years work over
all the ranches show that q total OF
1889 head of cattle had been sold for
$172,5 and s,249 head of hogs for
$111,s46. The total clearance for the
year 1900 amounted to 100000. The
expenses, including interest, reached
the sum of sol, S51.13.
The most profitable ranch is the one
looked after by Foreman George Ross,
whose yearly report contains the fol-
lowing statements: Number of acres,
$3.50; cattle, 1923; net proceeds from
cattle, $44,59s.90; hogs, 1882, cash for
the same, $17,954.19; expense per acre,
$3.50; corn bought, %, 72O bushels.
Mr.. Rankin is close observer and
soon picks out the good qualities of
his men. He is pleasant and accom-
modating, daring and energetic, which
qualities have won for him the wealth
he now commands. Besides his farms
he has an interest in several banking
concerns, but to these latter he gives
little attention, and spends most of his
time riding over the ranches to see
that proper care is being given the
stock. Sometimes he lends helping
hand in pulling steer from the mud;
again he will assist in building shed
for the fattened hogs.
