runa is surely u wonderful remedy

This is case of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years,
according to his statement, and Peruna
has at once come to his relief, promptly
accomplishing for him more benefit than
he had been able to find in all other.
remedies during quarter of a century.
1t stands to reason that a man of
wealth and influence, like a Congress-
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stoIn-
ach, it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.

DIVIDING ROUND SILO.
Solution of n TickIish Question Th ne
Has Puzzled Many Feeders
More or Less,

A reader from Canada asks for the
best method of dividing a round silo
which recently came into his posses
sion. Should the partition be put in
crossways of the openings or extend
from the openings? If the partition
extends from the opening, shall it eX
tend from the center of the opening or
from one edge? Figs /, 2 and show
the three plans. By putting the par
tition, as in Figs. l and 9, the silage
from one-half must be thrown across
the other, which means much extra
work in emptying a silo. The parti
tion should be placed as in Fig. 5, and
good doors made to fit the opening in
each side. Use paper, or what is bet
ter, felt to make the joints air-tight.
The reader also asks if it would not
be all right to have the boards cut
and put in the partition as the silo is
filled. 1t would be impossible to make a
partition air-tight when put in in such
manner. Too much care cannot be
taken in putting in such n partition,
The ends will have to have much work
where joined to the walls or air will
get through when one side is empty.
The work should be done in good and
substantial manner, as there is great
pressure. Both sides should be filled
simultaneously and well compacted at

THE FIG IN AMERICA.
Vast Areas in This Country Said to
he Especially Adapted to
Growing 1t.

There is little reason to doubt
that America will become in the no
distant future one of the greatest
reproducing countries in the world.
Previous to about three years ago
the growing of figs in this country
was carried on with very indiffer-
ent success, though trees were
planted in California, New Mexico,
Arizona and some other places.
About three years ago the govern
ment took up the matter and intro
duced from abroad the fig-fertiliz-
ing insect, blastophaga grossorum.
The insect was put to work in the
fig orchards about Fresno, Cal. As
result two tons of Smyrna figs
were raised, dried and placed on the
market, tests being made by chem
lists and fruit experts showing these
figs to be superior to the imported
product. The crop last year on
these same trees amounted to over
80 tons. The insect has been intro
duced now into other localities and
the department of agriculture holds
itself in readiness to supply these
insects to any grower that has trees
of bearing age. In the light of
these results it seems likely that
we may see in the next 20 years an
enormous development of the fig
growing industry. There are vast
areas in this country that are adapt
ed to the growing of such trees as
the fig and those localities will with
out doubt be the scenes of extensive
cultural operations with the aid of
science, which the American farmer
has so often and so successfully
called to his aid.-Farmers' Review.

Another wal between the beet and the
zane sugar reiners seems imminent.
The manufacturers of beet sugar have
made shipments to the eastern markets,
the immediate effect Of which has been
somewhat demoralizing to the trade,
since no accurate information is to be
had as to how much beet sugar may be
sent east. A New York paper says there
is no doubt that by offering their prod
ucts in the stronghold of the eastern
reiners the beet sugar people have Gre
ated a genuine sensation. The Atlantic
seaboard has thu far been the exclusive
market for the eastern refiners. Last
year the beet sugar people endeavored
to secure exclusive sale for their prod
uct in the territory contiguous to their
factories, but the trust would not allow
them to do so. This year, therefore, the
beet people have apparently turned the
tables on the eastern reiners.
The San Francisco Chronicle says that
nothing could be more Opportune than
the fight between the refiners of i'm
ported sugar and the manufacturers of
American beet sugar. 1t will incident
ally show that no trust al control a
market which is profitable to other peO-
pie and the more profitable 1t is the
surer to invite competition. But the
main Importance OF a contest at this
time, in the opinion of that paper, lies
In the fact that public attention will be
so effectually directed to the sugar ques-
ton that it will be considered on it's real
merits. 1t is not easy to see that in the
end any really good result can come
from a war of this kind, but in the
meantime some little benefit may be
realized by the

SLIPSHoD WAYS IN COUNTY BUSINESS.
The public business of Douglas county
has altogether too long been conducted
in a slipshod manner that would not be
tolerated for a day in any large mercan-
tile establishment. The result is that
the money Of the taxpayers is d~issipated
without adequate returns or systematic
accounting. The time was when this
haphazard way Of doing business could
be excused on the plea of an INSULT
cheney Of officers and clerical force to at
tend to the work properly, but no sucn
excuse now holds good.
When the county clerk was required
not only to keep the records Of the board,
but also to check up the accounts of all
the other county offices, it was a matter
Of course that efficient control could not
be counted on. In the last few years,
however, a separate auditing department
has been established with ample assist
ance, so that no account should be paid
without proper certification of the fact
that the goods had been delivered, or the
service rendered, In stipulated quantity
and quality, as well as that no over
charges were made. Yet 1t is notorious
that bills for favored claimants are fire.
quently allowed as a matter of accom-
mediation without prior auditing by the
comptroller, trusting to luck that they
will check up right afterward.
With reference to ordering work and
passing on contractors estimates for
bridges and road making, the county
business is still more loosely conducted.
The county surveyor should have super
vision of all the construction work Of
the county in the same manner that the
city engineer has supervision of all the
public improvements in the city. There
is no more reason why a county bridge
contractor, for example. should be al
lowed to make his own specifications M
check up his own work than that a paw
ing contractor in Omaha should be al
lowed to do the same. No bridge or
grading should be projected by the
county board except on prior recommen-
dalton of the county surveyor, setting
forth the necessity of the improvements,
and no contract let until after the county
surveyor has furnished the detailed
specifications. Before estimates are al
lowed the surveyor should again be re-
quired to inspect the work and certify
that 1t conforms to the specifications and
conditions Of the contract. Failure to
observe these simple rules Of business
in the past has unquestiOnably cost the
taxpayers in Douglas county thousands
upon thousands of dollars.
1t is certainly high time for the county
| board to do business in a business way.

SOUND PUBLIC POLICY.
Pointed Decision ON the Liability of
Express Companies.
New York Tribune.

NtW " 1AlbhhC
The decision in the supreme court de-
claring that express companies may not
arbitrarily limit their own responsibility
for the goods entrusted to their care is in
accord with good sense and plain every
day justice. The express companies are
common carriers. They perform a semi
public duty and are we'll paid for the work
they do. When they take a package and
contract to deliver It they should not be
allowed to say how far they will suffer for
their own carelessness. They should be
held to deliver the goods which they are
paid to carry or forfeit their full equivalent
in money value.
II is an old habit OF corporations OF this
sort to make arbitrary rules which they
force upon their patrons. In some states
the courts have compelled railroad COM
panies TO give transportation for which
they have been paid regardless OF the
artificial limit of time which they put upon
tickets. and In others IL has even been
held that they cannot divest themselves
Of liability for accidents by any form OF
agreement with patrons, even with the re-
cipients Of free transportation. These de-
cisions perhaps go too far in limiting
capacity TO contract away rights for a fair
consideration In the way OF passes OF re-
duced rates. Undoubtedly. however. the
tendency to forbid contracts freeing a com
pany Of responsibilities is in the direction
OF sound public policy. The corporations
having practical monopolies OF semi-publiC
business are in position to dictate their OWL
terms Of service to the people unless the
law restraints them, not only in the matter
Of rates, but also in the matter OF liability
for failure to do their work properly.
