The productive capacity of the great
Northwest so far as wheat, rye. barley,
oats, potatoes and ali root crops are
concerned can hardly be comprehenoed,
While the limits of the corn belt are
now pretty we'll defined, there is a vast
territory lying north and west of the
corn belt where the cereal and root
crops can be produced in the greatest
perfection and in almost unlimited
qualities.

Potatoes which are located six inches
under ground are not as easy to dig
as those which are hilled up on the
surface of the ground, but they are
nearly always of better quality. When
potatoes lie within two inches of the
surface, the heat of the sun impairs
their quality.

One reason for the present stiff prices
for all farm commodities Is that few
farmers are obliged to sell.
There may be something more attrac-
tive in the fruit line than a heaping
painful of Clyde strawberries. but we
really do not know what it could be.
The largest return in food value SOB
tanned from an acre of corn when it is
put into a silo. Where land is high
priced this fact is well worth consider
ing.
The supreme court of the United
States has ruled that the antitrust
laws of the several states are unconsti-
tutional where an exception is made in
their operation in favor of the farmer.
If the owners Of the beet sugar facto-
ries are making 81 per cent. on the
capital they have invested, they can at
ford to pay the farmer more than "a per
O. for the beets to make the sugar
from.
The average farmer will do better to
raise just beef horses, the heavy draft
breeds, than any other kind. These
can be raised and sold and n year
with another will bring about 8 or 10
cents a pound.
When a man has set Sc as the price
he will ask for his hogs and no less and
the market %stubbornly sticks at $3.50
week after week, he is quite likely to be
a loser because of his tenaciousness.

There is now in course of erection just
outside the city limits, west, alongside
of the Blue Ridge Railroad, mill for
the manufacture of cotton wrapping
twine, which, when completed aid
equipped, will cost not less than

obtained from the development of
Southern resources. The mill business
is not new to MIR. Townsend. He has
already achieved success in managing a
planning milland lumber supply business
in this city.
The structure Of the Twine mill will
be Of brick, 1+0xS0 feet. two stories
with a complement Of ten or twelve
cottages to house the operatives. The
machinery used will be almost identi-
cal with that used by our yarn mills, a

TALE OF A MANILA BEAN.
Trust Professional Florist
with It.

Quite an excitement has been ere
ated in Kensing by SO small a matter
as bean. says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The bean was brought from Ma
Mia two years ago by a travelling
agent for large mandatory, who
had seen a tree covered with beauti-
full flowers and beans while travelling
in Luzon, and had secured one of the
pods. Fearing that if he confided it
to a professional florist, he would lose
the honor of introducing a new flower
to Philadelphia, he turned over the
bean to a Kensington woman, agree.
ing to pay one dollar month for it's
care and culture until it produced
flowers. The bean has been two
years growing. but is not yet over
two inches in height. Local botan-
lists say it is not a bean, but a date
seed. which has been planted in mis-
take. The owner, who paid $12 for
one years board for the bean, thinks
the caretaker should now keep it for
company, but she says she has had
three door bells worn out by curious
visitors. Recently the owner dug the.
plant up to see what the root looked
like, and found that while there were
only three inches of stem and leaves,
large 16-inch pot was filed with
fbrous roots. He thought it would be
a good plan to clip the roots, since
which time the Manila bean has been
but a little faded flower. The care
tal<er asserts that in two years she
has served the bean with 1,40O gal
Ions of water and taken 10000 steps
in carrying II around the house, to
give it the full benefit of sunshine
It was as much trouble and care as
a baby, only it did not cry at night.

"But we have no plan," Mrs. Ward
spoke up rather quickly. "You will
simply find that the women of Craw-
ford face the question without any
ideas about it. We all agree that with
rare exceptions the help we generally
get is incompetent and unsatisfactory
and not to be depended on for any
length of time. And that's about all
we're agreed upon"
Mrs. Vane looked sharply at Bar
bara and then at Hilda.
sHilda,' she said, sharply. but at the
same time not unkindly, sstel1 us what
you think. What's the matter with all
you girls? What's the reason you
aren't all full-grown angels like us
housekeepers?
Barbara could not help smiling, al
though she had been sitting so far
with a growing feeling of discourage
ment. As for Hilda, she had evidently
been long enough with Mrs. Vane to
be used to her queer ways, and was
not disturbed by her eccentricities.
She shuffied her feet uneasily on the
carpet, and dug the point of a very
bright red parasol into q corner Of a

And the quiet and the freight and the

Bear me dreaming back to boyhood and its
Sunday afternoons;
when we gathered in the parlor. In the
parlor stiff and grand,
<There the haircloth chairs and sofas stood
arrayed, a gloomy band,
where each queer oil portrait watched US
with countenance of wood,
And the shells upon the whatnot in dust

Then the quaint old parlor organ. with the
quaver in its tongue,
Seemed to tremble In its fervor as the sa-
cred songs were sung.
AS we sang the homely anthem. sang the
glad revival hymns
OF the glory of the story and the light no
sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew even deeper and the
evening settled down,
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled In the
drowsy little town.
Old and young we sang the chorus and the
echoes told it DER
In the dear, familiar voices, hushed or
scattered evermore.
From the windows s.of the chapel faint
and low the music dies,
And the picture in the freight fades be-
fore my tear dimmed eyes,
But my wistful fancy. listening, hears the
night wind hum the tunes,
That we sang there in the parlor on those
Sunday afternoons.

TO BE OF USE IN THE WORLD.
When Bar started that after
| noon with Mrs. Ward for Mrs. Vane's
to meet with her in conference, she had
| no plan of any kind worked out, even
| in the vaguest outline. She had told
Mrs. Ward what Mrs. Vane had said be-
fore, and asked her whether she was
| willing to go with her. Mrs. Ward was
very. willing, and Barbara gave her
credit for being as much interested as
any woman might be expected to be in
anything that was not even thought
out far enough to be rightly called

bright greeting, and again Barbara
felt the sharpness of her look.
"I've asked Hilda to come in for a

want to stay very long, and had rath-
| at all. She's shy. Mrs. Ward, how's
your day for having one. don't won
der your girls have trouble with you.
You're so nervous with your head
aches that 1 wouldn't venture to work
for you short of ten dollars a week in

All this the old lady said with as
tonishing rapidity and with frank
ness that amazed Barbara and made
Mrs. Ward laugh.
with me, I think" Mrs. Ward said, with
kindly look at Barbara, who was
pleased.
Oh
Vane, looking sharply from one to the
other. "You don't either of you have
many grievances, imagine. Sit right
there, Hilda!" she exclaimed as the
girl Barbara had met on.Sunday came
into the room. ''You remember Mrs.
Ward and Miss Clark, Hilda? We met
them last Sunday
Hilda sat down awkward1y in the
seat indicated by Mrs. Vane, and there
was moment of embarrassed silence.
sHilda was dressed to go out, and Bar
bara could not help wondering how far
the girl understood what the meeting
was about. She began to feel little
angry at Mrs. Vane, without knowing
just why, when that good woman very
frankly cut across the lots of all pre-
liminaries by saying: "Now, then,
Hilda, you know well enough what I
asked you to come in for. We want to
make beginning of some sort of help
ing the girls who are out at service re-
alize what their work means, and what
they are worth to family, and all
that"
Hilda looked embarrassed and said
nothing. Barbara came to the rescue.
Don't you think the first thing we
70 do &c
simple plan by which we can reach all
the girls and let them know what we
propose to do?'
''You never can do it," Mrs. Ward
spoke with some emphasis. cit has
been tried before by Mrs. Rice and one
or two others. The fact is, the girls do
not care to meet together for any such
purpose"
"Mrs. Ward is right and wrong
BOTH" Mrs. Vane said. s'I'm not going
to discourage you, but you have set out
on as hard a task as ever lady under
took. The very people you want to
help are the very ones who don't want
you bothering around"
''Then perhaps we had better start
with the housekeepers first" replied
Barbara, feeling conscious of the big

The Best Kansas News:
Valuable for Present Use.

Secretary f. d. Coburn, of the Kan
sas board of agriculture, says he can
still supply applicants with copies of
the boards quarterly report for Sep
TENDER, 1894, which is 210-page book
devoted to the subject of wheat as
a food for farm animals. It is thor
ough discussion of the whole question
from both the experiment station
and farmers standpoint, and consti-
tutes a fund of wonderfully timely
information just now, nowhere else
SO fully available. The value of wheat
as substitute for other grains in a
maintenance or fattening ration for
either cattle, horses, sheep or swine,
or for millk-making, is pressing ques-
ton upon which many stockmen are
needing light, and this report gives it.
Some other of Mr.. Columns reports
of this series yet obtainable to a linn
tied extent are those devoted to "The
