ILocos SUR.
Gratifying Progress Reported to the
War Department by the Governor.


War Department by the Governor.
The report of NJ. Chisologo. the governor
of the province of Ilocos Sur, has been re-
ceived by the bureau of insular affairs,
War Department, from which the following
has been taken:
Since the surrender of the insurgent forces
in April, 1901, public order in the province
has not been disturbed The collections
from all sources during the year 1902 were
S4S,7SS4 AZ, U. s. currency, and the disburse-
ments were 81 ,O3O95. leaving balance in
the treasury, January l. 1903, of $7,757.47
There was appropriated during the year
for the repair Of roads and bridges $751; D.
Mex. The work done by the provincial
supervisor up to June of last year succeeded
in putting them in fair condition that 1t
was possible to travel the whole length OF
the public wagon road of the province
from north to south. but the rainy season
came and destroyed large portion of the
work done.
The construction of roads in such strong
and lasting manner as to resist the destruc-
tive action of the rains is unsoived
problem yet in the Philippines. Even
during the time of the Spanish dominat ton.
when the provincial governments had at
their disposal the personal labor of the resi-
dents, this matter was one that was closely
studied, but satisfactory solution was
never reached.
lie school houses five female and twenty
eight male American teachers and 157 FIJI
pino teachers. In each of the puebos there
are at least two schools, one for boys and
one for girls and in the more important
towns there are more. Between 1900 and
1900 pupils attended school during the last
scholastic year, twice as many were In
attendance during the preceding year.
In all the puebloS where American teach
erS were stationed. for some time there is
already a number of boys and girls who
can understand and speak English more or
less correctly, and in the high and normal
school there is daily attendance of more
than 200 pupils many of whom are able to
converse I'm English. Such a f1attering con-
dition is due without doubt to the indefati-
gable laborS and the truly paternal zeal
of the American and Filipino teachers
Agriculture is beginning to look up from
its. former condition of prostatfOn caused
by war and rinderpest. The number Of work
animals is gradually increasing, and In the
majority of pueblos there are enough. at
least for farming purposes.
The principal products of this region are
rice sugar, maguey and indigo. The maguey
crop has been of greater consequence not
only on account of the increase of the crop,
which was greater than in previous years.
but also the favorable prices which this
commodity reached in the foreign markets
to which it Is exported. 1t is calculated
that the five or six pueblos which have
cultivated and treated this plant rather ex-
tensively have produced during the year
from 10000 to $4,000 piculs. ---',,

Large payments of State tax on

PRIMITIVE BRITONS.
Inhabitants of st. Kilda In the outer
Hcbridcs Have Little Use
for Money.

The most primitive community in
the British isles is that which inhabits
st. Kilda. in the Outer Hebrides. The
people, who number 76, have no tele-
graphic communication, and no mails
from September until May, says Stray
Stories
They have hardly any use for mon
ey, such traffic as exists being carried
on by barter; even their rents are paid
to the landlords factor in birds
feathers; while other produce is con-
signed through the same channel, and
goods are sent in exchange for it.
In a recent address to the king. the
Inhabitants pointed out that it was six
months before they had heard of the
accession of George w, while news
of the death of Queen Victoria did not
reach them for more than month,
and then only by chance.
They have a minister, but no doctor,
and recently, when a medical man was
sent to vaccinate them, they would not
have the operation performed unless
the steamer which took him waited
with him to see whether it was to be
successful.
The women spin and dye sleeps
wool, which is woven by the men.
Another primitive community is that
on Fair isle, between Orkney and Shet-
land

THE OLD-TIME DAIRY.
Much Fun wns Pokcd Mt II, Hut Its
owner Usually Acquired a
Bank Account.

Only under certain conditions, the
dairy means wealth to ,le farmer, and
fertility to his farm. If these condi-
tons be not secured, and maintained,
dairying will exhaust the farm and inn
poverlsh the farmer more speedily and
more hopelessly than almost any 9TH
er form OF farming. Nnen the milk
is sold off the farm, Ii carries with 1t
the fertility of the soil, and generally
the net price of the milk is too low to
pay for making it and to replace the
fertility removed with it. This hard
fact underlies all the complaints of
dairy farmers about the proftlessness
of dairy farming.
Old-time dairy farming sent from
the farm only the butter, and the old
time farmers made money and were
the most independent men on arth.
Win farmers once more take up home
churning, dairy farming will once
more become steadily and satsfac-
torily profitable, and dairy farms will
once more increase, instead of de-
crease, in fertility. The most forlorn
thing in the farming region is the
large dairy farm, once fertile and op-
Grated profitably by its owner, who
made butter. now worn-out and starv-
ing and working to death the tenant
who occupies and operates It. 1t pro-
duces only fractional crops of grass,
corn, rye, wheat and other crops, and
the milk 1t makes is poor in quality,
small in quantity, and high in cost.
1t goes away in cans while the churn
rots in the shed or garret. 1t nets the
tenant 10 cents for each dollar he puts
into 1t. He can't pay his rent. The
owner says he Is no good. The tenant
says the farm is no good-and both
are right. The churn substituted for
the can, would change such farms de-
cidedly and profitably for both owner
and tenant. When will farmers open
their eyes to the business folly i'm
piled in the senseless work that is mis-
called dairy farming?" Butter is the
basis of farm wealth and fertility, but
farmers in these days seem to think
that butter-making is hard work in
comparison with milk shipping. On
this fundamental error they have built
and are maintaining the losing ship
ping business, throwing away the soil
of their farms along with their own
strength, health, work, comfort and
es.-Midland Farmer.

ITALIAN WAY OF WORKING.
Leads mn American Woman to Give
Genoa the Preference nv
Residence.

An American woman married the
raptain of a steamship trading to
Mediterranean ports and was straight
way lost to her American friends, for
she went to live at Genoa. one of the
ports visited by her husbands ship,
reports the New York Sun.
She recently paid visit to friends
In this country and many asked her
why she did no: make her home in
New York. In each case she gave as
her reason her desire to see as much
as possible of her husband.
Then the inquiries were pressed fur
ther If the steamer sailed from both
ports at regular intervals, why was
not one as good for her purposes as
the other The explanation was sim
pie enough to anyone who knows the
difference between methods at New
York and Genoa.
The ship consumes FIVE days in un-
loading and reloadng at New York,
and the captain could have only those
five days with his family, and a good
deal of each day would be taken up at
the wharf, perhaps several miles from
his home.
At Genoa the processes OF loading
and unloading by reason of old-fash-
ioned methods and slower workmen,
occupy nearly two weeks, and the dis
tance from the ships wharf to the cap
tain's home is not great. SO Amer
lean business methods work to ex-
patriate one American woman

VALUE OF A GRANGE.

A subordinate Grange is the most
practical and the most natural means
of promoting all tie interests of a
rural community ever conceived in the
history OF the world, for the following
reasons:
I. 1t contributes to the social life
by frequent regular meetings in which
the art of sociabllity is so agreeably
and informally taught as to fascinate
rather than repel those participating
in the exercises.
2. 1t contributes to the high moral
standard by affording convenient and
agreeable society for old and young
In which the highest standard of moral
ity is maintained, thereby preventing
association of its members in society
of the opposite nature.
3. 1t contributes to the happiness
of the home by the mental recreation
afforded all members of the family in
the various Grange gatherings attend
ed, thereby broadening their mental
vision and increasing their happiness,
which is sure to be reflected in their
home life.
4. 1t contributes to the material
prosperity by its discussion of all mat
ters of Importance tending to local de.
velopment, and often is instrumental
in securing the establishment of in.
dustries that give added population as
well as taxable property, thereby in
directly aiding every taxpayer in town.
S. 1t contributes to the general
intelligence of the Inhabitants by its
frequent discussion of questions of
public nature and by the educating in
fuence of other exercises, resulting in
mental development and more in
telligent citizenship, which is an up
lifting force in any town.
6. 1t contributes to the general
welfare by dlssipatng nelghborhood
quarrels, by breaking up long standing
feuds caused by church, school, or
society troubles, by promoting better
roads, better schools, and better farm
ing, by stimulating more interest in
public affairs, resulting in the election
OF better men to office and better en-
torcement of law as well as the better
transaction OF the public business of
towns, counties and states.
7. A subordinate Grange contri-
butes in these ways to the up building
of rural community by making it
more desirable place in which to live
and making its citizens more intelli-
gent, more prosperous, and more hap
py.

Valuable Picture Splitting.

1t has been discovered that the
famous Rothermel picture of the
battle of Gettysburg, painted by order
of the State at cost of $25, 1000 by
the late f. F. Rothermel, is IN danger
of splitting clear across the face. The
picture hangs in the flag room in the
executive building, at Harrisburg,
near cases containing the flags, and
cannot be seen as whole. Examlna-
tlon reveals that for foot wide from
side to side the canvass sags and the
paint is in danger of cracking owing
to the slant of the frame. 1t is expect
ed to hang the picture in the new
capital.

Although renovated butter is an i'm
provement over its ancestors, the
thought of eating the rancid putrid
grease which has only been well laun-
dered. is not pleasant one. Removing
the smell and taste from stock" which
Is found in most country groceries, in
barrel in the rear, puts premium upon
bad farm butter. In one respect, it
seems to be a good thing, as it affords
an outlet for the rank, cheesy, mottled,
greasy stuff sent to town by the care
less, ignorant and uncleanly farmer.
But that very farmer is the main loser.
He cannot get enough for his poor prod
uct to pay him for producing it, 1t costs
as much to feed cows and make bad but
ter as 1t does to feed cows and make
good butter.-Rural World

THE GRANGE RITUAL.
It's Benutiful Teaching Unnppreci-
ntcd by Most Pntrnnn


The American Grange Bulletin
touches upon very important matter
In the following article 1t says As
members of the grange we frequent.
ly boast of the teachings Of our ritual.
What is the best thing in IT. Don't
answer without thinking. Perhaps you
hadn't thought. Possibly you know
very little about the ritual-and you
are an officer, teacher In the grange!
And If you, with your opportunities
and responsibilities, must hesitate and
confess TO yourself that you know very
little about the matter, how do you
suppose your new members would be
able to answer the question?
Here is suggestion, not for this
week or next. but for a suitable time
this month or next, or some other
month. Plan n ritual programme. Ask
dozen members TO select the best
sentence from the ritual and be pre-
pared to repeat 1t and give reasons for
thinking II the best. Ask three others
to read the ritual for the purpose of be.
ing able to judge which of the dozen
answers is best. The decision may be
based on the selection alone, on the
selection and the explanation, or on the
explanation alone.
The important thing is to get your
members interested in searching for
the choice things in the grange ritual.
Mere memorlzlng without regard to
thought will amount to little, but the
good things are worth committing. even
II the lessons they should teach are
not appreciated at the time. The get
ting by heart with the idea OF under
standing the meaning as well as the
order of the words will do good, be-
sides being an interesting exercise and
valuable discipline.
