Big Orchards in Boone.

The fine orchard of ID. A. Robnett
just east of town, containing l45
acres and something over 10000
trees, is now in bloom and presents
a most beautiful scene. If blossoms
count for anything there will be a
magnificent crop of apples this fall.
The Robnett orchard is famous
among fruit men for quantity of
fine fruit, and its owner is president
of the state horticultural society
which is doing more than any other
agency to further the small fruit
industry in Missouri.
Prof. j. c. Whitten. of the horti-
cultural department of the Uniyer-
sity, began this week the planting of
an orchard of 240 acres near Nc
Baine. The land he recently pur-
chased was a well known river farm
lying along the Katy road, and con-
tanning several small orchards. Mr..
Whitten will put out several hun
dred peach and pear trees, this
spring; and several thousand apple
trees. He has faith in the soil of
that section to produce as fine fruit
as can be grown in this great state,
which is now the greatest apple state
in the Union. The hill farms along
the river will grow the finest quality
of grapes and small fruit, and should
this kind of farming become popular
in Boone county, we would soon
lead the state in these matters.

Schools and Teachers.

The Centralia schools closed
April 18th.
The term of school at Lincoln
should shorten so as to close not
later than the first of June of each
year. Many of the students who
attend there are forced to rely
wholly on themselves for support
while in school and have less than
ten weeks to make preparations for
the entire school year, whereas if
the school should be closed by
June 1st, fully three months would
be given them, besides nothing is
gained by continuing the school
till the middle of June as many of
the students leave before com
mencement, being forced to do so
for the above mentioned reasons.
Ex-president Cleveland seems to
have become very much interested
of late in the education Of the ne
gro. He is said to have asked a
young colored man who won a
prize for an essay to permit him to
read it. He will preside at a pub
lie meeting to be held at Madison

RAILROAD MEN HERE.
Will Expect the Farmers to
Give Right of Way for
Electric Road.

Hon. Geo. b. Harrison of Glasgow,
president of the Missouri Central
Electric railway; and q. Mclaughlin
of Boston, an expert, representing
eastern capitalists, drove through the
country from Harrisburg and Fayette
last Friday and spent the day in
Columbia, going on to Fulton in
company with w. B. Cauthorn, the
engineer. The object of the trip was
to obtain all the information possible
concerning the country its people and
its products, minerals, grain. stock L,
etc. Mr.. Mclaughlin is enthused
with the prospects for good business,
and can not make other than a
favorable report to his employers in
the east who expect to finance the
new road as soon as the right-of-way
is obtained.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said that electric
railways are now meeting with such
favor in sections where their
operations are best known. and
hence most appreciated, that the
farmers are not only giving the
right-of-way through their farms,
but are actually giving the roads
bonus besides as an inducement to
build.
He regarded it as very, very
strange that any Boone county
farmer should refuse to gladly give
the right-of-way to an enterprise
that would be of such incalculable
benefit to the county and state.
Mr.. Harrison says that every
farmer who desires one will have
the privilege of putting in switch
so that he can load cars with grain,
stock, ect., right on his own
premises.
Isn't that the kind of a railroad
that will do to tie to and one that
deserves the right-of-way through
any farm it traverses in Boone
county? Will the people along the
proposed line of the electric road
realize these aa"antages before it is
too late and not permit this golden
opportunity of a lifetime to pass
them by forever? The building of
the Missouri Central Electric rail-
way all depends on the securing of
the right-of-way. Just as soon as
that Is obtained the financial back
ing will be forthcoming and work
will be begun on the road at once.
At least this is the earnest declara-
! ton of the promoters of the enter
prise, and we believe they are
correct.

Butter by Absorption.

When Charles M. Taylor, of
Philadelphia, spilled his cream
pitcher on his lunch table, over
two years ago, he muttered some
thing under his breath, but the
peculiar actions of that cream on
his tablecloth aroused his curiosity
and set him to making experiments.
The result is an invention for
making butter by absorption with
out the aid of churn or physical
labor.
When he wants butter now he
takes tin pan, puts in some alb
sorbent cloth and piece of blot
ting paper, pours in quart of
cream and puts the whole in the
refrigerator over night.
In the morning he opens the re-
frigerator and finds over a pound
of pure fresh butter ready for his
breakfast table.
The advantages which Mr.. Tay-
lor claims for his invention are:
No expensive outfit required; ;
about fourteen ounces of butter
can be made from one quart of
cream; little labor; nature does
the churning; can be made in
quantities as wanted for table or
commercial purposes; absolutely
free from adulteration; greater
percentage of butter made from
cream than by churning; sanitary
purity for invalids apparatus can
be shipped at minimum cost, ow-
ing to light weight. indianapolis

THE DIAMOND DRILL.

The diamond dr1ll on the JuAc- tion'' pulled up last Monday and IS now being installed at point about 100 feet from Mrs. Humphrey S boarding and lodging house in LOW ell. Various and peculiar are the opinions of the average citizen in re- gard to the probable result of the operations just suspended. Some imagine they have failed to find any thing and are fishing iB new waters. A majority. however, are inclined to the conclusion that they found what they wanted and are after testing it's extent This is the more logical conclusion. since the operations had only reached a depth of about 800 feet, whereas the uniform system oi the Calumet people is to go 1900, 2.0O0 feet, or 70 eternity but what they strike it. As a matter, they never have quit sinking operations in this camp till they did strike |, regardless of depth. It is, therefore, a safe conclusion that they found what they were after. and propose to explore the whole field. In boring operations. of course, the manage ment has the whole thing in their hands The public can only judge from general features the measure of progress and success encountered, and newspaper reports in regard to strikes in this class of work are sub. ject to a 90 per cent allowance on their face.
 If the drill has struck an ore body, which We have a right to believe is true, it is a matter of profound i'm port to every person owning pros- poets down in that very extensive field, the only imputation against it being that it is fiat"
 UNDER SHERIFF'S HAMMER.
 The property Of the Copper Bullion mining company, located in the Ora goons at South Pass, and about fif- teen miles from here, was sold at sheriff's sale in front of the court house at two o'clock to satisfy judgment against them in the district court by Soto Bros. & Renaud. There were two bidders for the prop erty. F. R. O'BTen offering 5000 and MT. Remand, representing Soto Bros. & Renaud, who bid $1,572.35 and was awarded the property. Mir. Renaud was seen shortly after the purchase.
