He got no further. The air was rent

Andrew Boss OF Minnesota Tells How
Butchering should BE Done.
High beef prices paid by the con-
sumer are giving special interest to
every movement that has any tenden-
cy to lower them. The general public
follows with attention the large prof.
ects of the cattlemen for the establish
ment Of independent packing plants.

Thorpe ran down to help the ladies.
He was nearly taken from his feet by
q wildcat yell, and moment later that
result was actually accomplished by
a rush of men that tossed him bodily
ON to its shoulders. At the same mo-
ment the mill and tug whistles began
to screech and miscellaneous firearms
exploded. Even the locomotive engineer.
in the spirit Of the occasion. leaned
down heartily on his whistle rope.
The sawdust street was filled with
screaming, jostling men. The homes
of the town were brilliantly draped
with cheesecloth, flags and bunting.
For moment Thorpe could not make
out what had happened. This turmoil
was so different from the dead quiet of
desertion he had expected that he was
unable to gather his faculties All
about him were familiar faces upturn-
ed to his own. He distinguished the
broad. square shoulders of Scotty Par
sous. Jack Hyland, Kerlie, Bryan Mo-
lot,cy; Ellis grinned at him from the
press: Billy Camp, the fat and shiny
drive cook; Mason, the foreman Of the
mill; over beyond howled Solly, the

lures that he knew.
As his dimming eyes travelled here
and there, one by one the Fighting

selves in his consciousness. On the.
outskirts sauntered the tall form of

Big Junko and Anderson deposited
their burden on tho raised platform Of
the office steps. Thorpe turned and
fronted the crowd.
At once pandemonium broke loose, as
though the previous performance had
been nothing but low voiced rehear-
sal.

ed Hilda. squeezing Helen's arm with

In moment Wallace Carpenter, his
countenance glowing with pride and

stood beside his friend, while Morton
and the two young ladies stopped half
way up the steps.
At once the racket ceased. Every
one stood at attention.
"AIr. Thorpe" Wallace began, "at

The most profitable and satisfactory
farming is stock farming. The farmer
should raise forage crops and the live
stock to eat all of it. He may with
profit, and il he has the necessary
knowledge and ambition, he will grad
ually develop into live stock breeder,
with speciality, or several specialties.
This, with reputation for integrity,
insures the highest agricultural sue
cess. Prof. Pammel, of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, says: ''In the long
run the farmer will make the most
money who devotes his fields to the
growing of forage crops to feed stock,
making use of all the raw products at
home, thereby saving not only much
of the cost of transportation, but main
tanning the fertility of the soil. Ex-
perience of the past few months has
shown that the men who stuck to feed
ing and were not tempted by high
prices to sell their corn have made the
most money. Anything that will en-
nance the productive capacity of our
soils for the production of forage con-
ditions will help the farmer.

Total Value OF Crop.

AS shown by these figures. the total

AS shown by these figures, the total
value Of the cotton crop of the last five
years. due mainly to an advance in
price, was $S73, 030. 107 over the amount
received by the south for its cotton
crop In the preceding five-year period.
This excess in the value of the cotton
crop, as compared with the five-year
period, ending with 189S'99, is much
larger than the total capital of all the
national banks of the United States,
is nearly ten times greater than the
total capital of all the national banks
of the southern states, and over 40 per
cent. greater than the total resources
of all the national banks of the south
ern states. 1t is equal to the present
market value Of the entire bonds and
stocks of the United States Steel cor
poration, and mare than the market
value of the Standard Oil Co. For the
first two or three years of this five
year period southern farmers used their
increased earnings to pay debts, buy
land and get themselves on a cash basis
