To Keep Apples.

While scientists at the state iusti
tutions throughout the country, and
especially in Iowa are trying to dis
ever means whereby they may
preserve uncooked apples from one
crop to the next, Hon. G. w. Stewart
an Iowa farmer, has solved the
mystery. Last season an effort was
made under the direction of the
State Agriculture college to keep
apples in cold storsage, but they
spoiled. The test however was not
decided to be decisive one and
another such effort is being made.
But without the use of ice OF artifc-
ial means the Polk county farmer
has discovered the long sought for
method or preservation and will be
eating last years apples while he is
picking this years crop.
On the dining room table at Mr..
Stewards home is a large dish Of the
well preserved apples every day and
some have been sent to friends in
this city. They are the Ben Davis
variety and are as solid and rosy
skinned as when plucked from the
twig OF their mother tree last fall.
They give out a remarkable aroma,
which permeates the atmosphere Of
the entire home and their flavor is
delicious.
These apples were preserved in
an earthen cave. Not few OF them
as an experiment, but barrel after
barrel. 1t is not a few which re-
mains intact, but all of them. Mr..
Stewart had good crop last fall
and placed them in the cave which
he has had for several years, but
had never before considered as a
good storehouse for apples. This
cave which preserved the fruit is
dug six feet deep in the ground and
sides walled up with brick. A roof
is placed over this and that covered
with great mound of earth. This
was originally built for cyclone
celiaf ana mas been used as store
house for potatoes, vegetables, and
even milk has been kept sweet there.
Mr.; Stewart has forty apple trees
and last fall decided to try storing
his crop, which was large.
The fruit is now coming out in
excellent shape. There is not a
spot on it and some which had pre-
viously been affected by bugs re-
main the same as when picked.
They have decayed non whatever.
There is now no symptom of their
spelling, and the supply being
large the farmer will have apples to
eat during the coming season of
ripening. This winter he will re-
peat the experiment.
Fruit last year was in exception
ally good condition as the heavy

beside him sat lunkhead who
mixed it up with fork In the most
approved style.
We saw an old Podunk get elect
ed 10 an office and his competitor,

We know an old bat who can flip

and make it ring like quarter.
We know fellow who hardly
ever votes who has more fault to
find with the government than a
populist, every year.
We have seen an old fellow come
into town wearing fur coat, while
his wife didn't have on enough
clothes TO attend harvest festival
in September.
We know a fellow who can write
an editorial for any paper in Iowa
who can't say boo to a goose" if
asked to rise to his feet and make
an address.
We know of another who can get
up and make his tongue run like a
threshing machine, who couldn't
write ten line local so you could
read it, nor spell one word in ten
correctly. 1t takes all kinds of peo-
pie to make a world.

Inmates of the state institutions
are ideal agriculturalists, according
to John Cownie, of the state board
OF control. The insane patients, the
convicts at the state prisons and
even the bad boys at the industrial
school at Eldora, according to him
are wonder workers when it comes
to making old mother earth yield an
abundance of palatable and nutriti--
Gus provender for man and beast,
As an illustration, he cites the
yield Of 1000 bushels of potatoes
which were harvested from three
and one-half acres at the state in
dustrial school for boys at Eldora.
AT TT. Madison the convicts plant
rows of corn and potatoes that are
as straight as can be, while Mt.
Pleasant 375 hogs were marketed at
the age of twelve months that
averaged PA pounds each and were.
of uniform size and as clean as a
white rabbit.
Farming constitutes one of the
chief features of life at each of the
state institutions. They are expect
ed to furnish all vegetables and
much of the meat for themselves
and in fact everything that any of
the state wards eat is furnished
directly OR indirectly by themselves.
An idea of the farms at the various
state institutions may be had by
glancing at the product of the Ell
dora form for this year. In addi-
ton to. the. potato crop to which,
references has been made, there are
75 acres more of potatoes; IS acres
of corn (and it looked fine); 60
of oats i'll the stack; 200 tons of
clover and timothy hay; 80 acres of
white beans, 30 acres of sorghum;
10 acres of pumpkins; 5 acres of
onions: l acre of parsnips, and
acre of carrots. Besides this acre
age, large quantities of celery, cab
bage, tomatoes, eggplant, Kale,
lima beans and butter beans are
grown. Seventy five barrels of GU
cumber pickles have already been
put up. AT the Eldora farm the
state has l50 OLD hogs, $50 shoats
SO cows, Z horses and l6 mules.

A Political Story and a Moral.

Des Moines News: The new gov
ernor of Minnesota has name as
common as mud.
Hitciled TO him is a story that
makes you feel like taking off your
hat and cheering the common peo-
pie, who have big hearts and a keen
appreciation of justice.
John A. johnson is Swede, the
son of Swedish emigrant. He
worked his way up in the world
and was honored by his fellow men.
His candidacy for governorship
made him political target. He
took his medicine like man.
Finally the statement was made that
he allowed his mother to take in
washing and that his father had
died in the poor house.
That mean, low down story was
Investigated to the limit and here is
the truth of it:
At the age of ten John A. John
son, almost baby, left school to
help his mother. She did take in
washing. 1t required the united
efforts of the pair to keep the wolf
from the door The father would
not work. He was loafer. Love
for his wife and boy failed to move
kim, and, at last, friends of the
family sent the man to the poor
house, where he could no longer
live on woman and child.
The boy kept on working. He
ran errands; he did odd jobs. He
wore patches. He carried mans
burden on his boys shoulders and
never complained. His one ambi-
tion then was to be able to support
his mother, and he did not rest
until it was accomplished.
That story reached the ears of the
voters of Minnesota. AS a cam
paign argument it was ten times as
powerful as would have been a
method of securing universal peace.
John A. johnson is democrat.
He ran ahead Of his ticket something
like 100000. The johnson land
slide ran neck with the Roosevelt
landslide. He is the new governor.
You can bank on this fact! At
heart the people are all right, and
they love courage, fidelity, affection
Nand integrity, and they know a man
when they see him.

Nothing to Eat But Food.

Joe Trigg: He had just finished
stacking the last of the grain and
went into the house for supper; no
company expected, just an ordinary
meal for the family Illustrating
how an up-to-date farmer can live
on his nothing. On the table there
were cold fried chicken and poached
eggs, cottage cheese, baked potatoes,
sliced tomatoes, apple sauce, corn
bread and riz biscuit, beet and eau
liflower pickles, the finest of butter,
thick cream and pitcher of milk, a
fruit salad and tea, and with the ex-
ceptlon of sugar and tea, everything
on the splendid bill of fare was pro-
duced on his OWL farm. But
doesn't that layout make a mans
mouth water when lie thinks he has
to fall back on his salary, tele-
phone and a town grocer? And the
above menu could be changed and
never deteriorate either in quantity
or quality 365 days in the year.

Basis of American Prosperity.

Between the two oceans we raise
one-fifth of the worlds wheat. four
fifths OF its cotton. This harvest is
the foundation of our prosperity. Agri.
culture this year will add about 81
0N0.oo0,0G0 10 the country wealth, and
foreign customers will pay us not far
from Sao0000,G0o for our agricultural
products, shipped to them over the sea.
All the gold in America-the greatest
hoard Of the yellow metal ever gather-
ed in any countly-could not buy ono
years harvest of our corn and wheat.
To buy one seasons wheat crop would
take all the gold mined in this coun-
try in six years. In the past seven
years all the gold mines have only
produced enough to buy one years
yield of our six leading cereals.

The Blessing Of a Friend.

Commend me 10 the friend that comes
When am sad and lone.
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suffering Of his own:
Who co'dly shu:is the gl!ttsr.ng tnrong
At pleasures gay leycc.
And co res TO gild s0mber hour
And give his heart To nc.
he hears me count my sorrows o'er.
And when the task is zone
lie freely gives mo all I ask
"A Sigh for every one
lie cannot wear smiling face
When mine is Iou 'h-d with gloom;
But like tho yiole: seeks TO chear
Tho midnight with perfume.
Commend me to that generous heart
Which. llke the pine On high.
Uplifts the same uuvarSiog brow
10 every change Of sky
Whose friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow,
But like the wiuter's icy crown
Looks greener through the SNOW.
He files not with the fitting stork
That seeks southern Sky,
But fingers where the wounded bird
Hath lain him down to die
Oh, such friend. lie is in truth,
Wha e'er his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on Its sea.

In order to make the effect as at

ron JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Citizens Of "A Portion OF Crook County
Seek New Organization.

That the agitation for the forma-
tion of the new county of "Stockman,"
or Jefferson" from a portion OF
Crook county, will he revived at the
coming session of the legislature, ID
shown by the following article from
the Ashwood Prospector.
The Prospector says.
Last weeks Crook County Journal
had considerable to, say about county
division and the proposed new coun-
| ty. of 'Stockman." The Journal might
take notice that the proposed new
county will not be called Stockman,
but jefferson county. But that has
nothing to do with the merits of the
case.
| Two years ago the friends OF the
new county made an effort TO secure
it's creation. THE bill passed the house
with only four votes against IT, but II
was defeated In the senate. Al that
time the residents OF Prineville made
a determined and successful effort
against the creation Of the county. and
the principal argument advanced by
them against the new county was lhat
Crook county could not afford to lose
the amount Of taxable property asked
for by the new county.
II is an interesting fact, too that
in spite OF Prineyille's cry Of poverty
two years ago. the county Is out OF
debt and has n comfortable sum IN
the treasury.
Incidentally. II might be mentioned
that the only evidence the residents
Of this section Of the county have OF
an abundance OF funds In the county
treasury is from the occasionally pun
lished statements OF the county's n
nances for very little county money
has been spent here in the building OF
bridges or betterment Of roads.
The Journal does not state on what
grounds Prineyille will oppose the new
county move this year. except that
Crook county is not ready as YET 70
