Burton Earmers' Club.

In spite of unfavorable roads and
weather the Burton Farmers Club was
very well represented at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. d. Hammond, and was so
pleasantly entertained that the cold ride
was forgotten, and we were glad to be
there.
After the meeting was opened by
music, scripture reading and prayer, it
was evident that it would be necessary
to solve the problem, What is Club
without a secretaryG Results were
quite as satisfactory as could be expect
ed, and if there were breaks in the pro-
gram, they were hardly noticed, how
ever it was resolved to provide against
such an emergency in the future by the
president being furnished with a pro-
gram.
Committees were appointed for the
coming year as follows: Mr.. Randall.
chaplain; Mrs. Hammond and Mrs
Love, on program; Mrs. Auiler and Miss
Shepard on music.
The discussion of one of the questions
brought out quite a list of favorite
magazines Mr.. Post gave his ideas of
a general purpose farm horse. Mrs.
Hammond answered the question, do
we know ourselves as well as others
know u.s." by saying we can not possi-
bly, know the thoughts and motives of
others, therefore we need to use great
deal of charity in judging each other.
Mr.. Peterson read an excellent paper
on the subject, why, and to what ex-
tent does cultivation of the soil promote
plant growth" He said cultivation
breaks up the capillary cells. and pre-
vents evaporation of moisture, five pei
cent of moisture has been found to make
a difference of twenty bushels of corn.
He favored rolling the ground i'm
mediately after plowing, following with
the cultivator within twenty-foul
hours. After general discussion Mrs
Peterson introduced the next topic by
giving some ideas of how the farmers
wife and daughter can help to make the
farm pay. If girls are disposed to helI
there are many things they can do sucl
as gardening, caring for poultry, etc.
that will be real help towards making
the farm pay.
The names Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Gar
ber, were presented for membership
and unanimously elected by ballot.
Subjects for the next meeting, Bee
pulp as a food for stock; speakers, Mr.
Peterson, Mr.. Shepard and Mr.. Rush

une 1904 dollar.
II the coin In Mr. Posts possession
proves genuine 1t will add one more to
the known worlds collection OF 1904
dollars According to authorities on
rare coins. there are only seven 1904
dollars in existence. Two of these are
in the Government mint at Philadel-
phia and the others are in private coll
ections, from which they do not depart
without the knowledge of all the nu-
mismatists in the country. The scarcity
of these dollars is due to the fact that
practically the entire coinage of silver
dollars of 1904 was sent to Tripoli to
pay the American soldiers and sailors
who were prosecuting the war against
the Barbary States. The ship never
reached its destination, and presum-
ably sank.
Should the dollar sent to Mr.. Wilks
prove good and should he secure it for
$3.50 he will get a good bargain. The
last recorded sale of an 1904 dollar was
made last November by r. G Marvin
of Denver to II. G. Brown of Portland,
Ore, and the price paid was $1,000
The same coin was sold once for 81, 200.
To the few who were permitted to
see the piece of silver at the City Ma
tional Bank yesterday. the coin proved
a great curiosity. The dollar, while
showing some marks of wear, is in an
excellent state of preservation. On one
side of the dollar is the American
eagle, holding in one claw sheaf of
arrows and in the other an olive
branch. Across the body and out
stretched wings of the bird Is the mot
to, "E Pluribus Unum.' On one side
of the eagle there are seven stars, and
on the other side, six stars. On the re-
verse side is a picture of Liberty with
flying hair and corsage decollete. Over
the head on this side of the coin is the
word Liberty" and underneath the
figures 1884" Around the narrow edge
of the dollar in very small letters are
the words, "One hundred cents. One
dollar unit" There are also some
other characters that could not be
made out.-Kansas City Times.
