A TRUST FOR FARMERS
Chief Features Of the New Or
ganization.
1T HAS A CAPITAL OF S5O,0OO,00O
Only TiIlers of the Soil Can own the
VIII BENEFIT Consumers and Plant
ers and Dispense with Middlemen
md ManlpulntiOn.

J. W. Burton of Chicago, legal adj
wiser for the proposed farmers trust,
has outlined the chief features of the
organization. which was Incorporated
the other day at Pierre with capital
of s5O.OO0,O00, says the New York
World.
Under the plau no one but farmers
will be allowed to own share of the
stock. Branch offices are to be estab-
lished all over the United States, the
chief branch establishment to be In
Chicago. All kinds OF farm products
are to be dealt in and handled on u
commission basis or for cash as cir
cumstauces may direct. Deals on the
board of trade in cash grain are also
contemplated with the object of giving
the farmer chance of getting better
price for his product and at the same
time shut out the miduleman.
1t is believed by eliminating the mid
dleman and having the farmers of the
country behind 1t the organization can
maintain uniform price TO the bene-
iit of the farmer without injury to the
consumer, both parties benefiting by
the elimination of the middleman.
Manipulation by spectators and cor
ners in grain and other articles, it is
said, will he impossible, while at the
..o, .t-ilI iAaNifa hlu hnnntit
the farmer.
All commissions, save n small part
which is to be given agents in lieu of
salary, will be used as dividends and
TO he paid back to the farmers.
In order to dispose of stock agencies
will be established in banks through
out the country, one institution in each
county 10 be selected. One-half of the
money thus received for stock Is to be
retained by the banks in each county
! to be loaned back at low rate of in
/ terest to the farmers themselves to en-
| able them If necessary to hold their
| produce in case current prices are too
low.
BY this means it is expected to pre-
vent glut IN the market aLo do away
with the temptation to unload and force
prices downward to the benefit of ele
vator men and others who have the
necessary capital to enable them &c
hold for a rise. The interest on the
money lent is to be paid back in divi
dends, so in reality the farmer gets
money coming and going. The promot
ers of the enterprise are sanguine re
garding its success.
Hamilton White of Chicago is the
moving spirit In the concern. Up to TIVE
years ago he was resident of Rec
Oak. Ia, and a practical farmer. Co
operation of farmers has long been ,
pet idea with him, and for the last fif
teen years he has been devoting hi
time to this subject, travelling exten
siveiy through all farming districts, ell
listing representative men in the enter
prise, and asserts that success is as
sured
According to accounts, ample capita
has been promised by leading Chicag
bankers who have been enlisted in sup
port of the enterprise, and If it fail /
will not be due to lack of the necessar,
financial support.

WONDERFUL MOTOR GAS

of the reports from the patent office at
Washington to inform the average
man that wondrous improvements are
being made in the purely mechanical
as well as in the scientific world, says
New York Tribune reporter. Now,
those who are interested in automo-
biles have new problem to keep them
busy. The latest thing in automobiles,
which the writer inspected the other
day, Is a gasoline machine from which
the gasoline tank is removed, another
tank substituted and the machine run
without the use of any gasoline at all.
When the gasoline tank had been re-
moved, another tank, smaller in SIZE
was put in it's place. The new tank
contained a gas which, in connection
with the usual dry battery, the gaso-
line engine and free air, supplied the
power for the running of the automo-
bile. The inventor, for the present at
least, intends to keep secret how this
gas Is made, although he asserts that
patents have been granted to him in
the United States, Canada and in Eu-
rope.
An interesting demonstration of the
efficiency of the new power was given
In q little vacant store in the lower
part of Manhattan. The inventor, his
son and the writer were present. The
machine to which the new force was
applied had been hastily put together.
There were the framework and half
horsepower machinery of an old quad
ricycle. On top of these had been
placed the wooden body of an ordna-
ry runabout road wagon. The front
pneumatic tired wheels rested on the
floor, while the rear wheels were
lacked up several inches from the
floor. This was done to give the en-
CINE full play without moving the au-
tomobile.
The gas was confined in steel tank
eight inches in diameter by fifteen
inches in length. This tank was placed
in the body of the wagon just back of
the seat and was connected by little
iron tubing with the gasoline engine
placed between the aXles of the rear
wheels. This tubing ran around to the
left side Of the wagon bed, across the
dashboard in front and then back along
the body of the runabOut and connect
ed with the engine in the rear. There
are two openings in the tubing for air
one in the rear and one on the dash
board, the latter being accessible to the
driver of the automobile, who can in
crease or decrease the flow of gas as
he may desire The lever, or steering
rod, extends from the dashboard an(
has rubber handle. An inch from the
rubber handle there is a little hare
rubber disk, not unlike the steel slid,
to be found on the modern hammerles
shotgun. With this slide the driver con
trolls the speed of the machine and til,
amount of gas to be generated. TIL,
seats Of the wagon were removed t,
show the visitor dry electric batteries
which furnish the spark necessary TO
the explosion.

Among Inc many animals which are
adopted nS pets there are numerous
odd and peculiar creatures. But GER
tainly one of the oldest is the Japanese
waltzing mouse. Mice have been
brought under cultivation and have
been so altered In appearance by the
fancier that their original wild rela.
tives would fail to know them. Yet
the fancy rouse with his wonderful
markings, is n very ordinary creature
compared with this waltziug member
of the family.
II is no doubt true that many n tale
hangs by the tail of many an animal.
The waltzing mouse probably has this
In view. as his main object in life
appears to he to catch and investigate
his own tail, the contortions md gyrn-
tons in which he INDUCES during the
process being decidedly unique. Tn"
mice sometimes perform in pairs. but
they are different to ordinary dances
In hat they waltz head to tail. turn.
Ing so quickly hat 1t is difficult TO tell
where one begins and the other ends.
The faculty of waltZing is hereditary,
for the young mice of this variety
evince a tendency to spin ns oon as
they are old enough to move about.
There are no special markings in the
waltzing mice. though they can be
obtained in several different colors.

Diamond and other jewels have been
S,st in all sorts of queer ways. but in
non more unusual than the accident
mentioned in the Boston Transcript. by
which n diamond brooch was snatched
from the owners dress and left some
where on the great plains.
A young woman was travelling by
rail through Kansas. At Klnslcy, where
the train made a considerable stop. a
fair was In progress. Here the young
woman bought of a peddler a toy bal
loon for n little girl who had won her
fancy.
The child was delighted with the
playthinG. and as they rode along she
chatted with her new friend and pulled
the 1alloon up and down. At length
she playfully fastened the string to the
lady's diamond brooch.
The train was rounding n curve at
the moment, and a strong gust of air
came through the ear. The balloon was
carried out through the open window.
The sudden jerk on the string loosened
the brooch, and away it sailed.
The Jewel was so valuable that the
young woman offered a reward of $500
for Its recovery. Spurred by this in

Purkinje discovered n very simple
and highly entertaining experiment by
means of which the retina, with all its
veins and blood vessels standing out in
relief against 1t. can be thrown Into the
air before ones eyes. 1t Is called the
aborescent figure. to its likeness to a
many branched tree. and Ia produced in
the following manner In a dark room
at night move a candle back ward and
forward before the eyes. After n few
seconds the air will assume Il reddish
appearance. and running over 1t in all
directions may be seen the veins and
blood vessels in bold relief. while to
ward the center of the figure there
rises up n dark trunk. from which the
veins branch out on all sides.
The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the EYE. and this expert
ment is chiefly interesting to the stu
lent as proving that the parts Of TIL
retina which actually receive and pro
duce the sensation of light must lie be-
hind the blood vessels. since these cast
their shadow on to 1t and cen be seen
