Track and Train
Million Bushei Elevator.

E#@z &
The Santa Fe railroad has complet-
ed plans for the construction of a mil
lion bushel grain elevator at Argen-
tine, Kansas. The company now has
a million bushel elevator in Argen-
tine, but the handling Of grain in
Kansas City has increased so rapidly
that the Santa Fe has found that an.
other elevator is an absolute necessi-
tv. The new elevator will be near
the present elevator. Within the last
year the Burlington, Missouri Pacific,
Kansas City Southern and the Chi
cage, Milwaukee + st. Paul have built
new elevators. All are million hnshel
structures except that of the Kansas
City Southern.
Will Widen Denver & Rio .Grande
Lines.
All the narrow gauge lines of the
Denver & Rio Grande company are to
be made standard gauge. This change
was recommended by A. B. Bird, traf'
fic director OF the Gould system, after
making a tour of inspection of the
mining territory trayersed by the mar
row gauge lines. Mr.. Bird believes
that labor troubles are practically end
ed in Colorado, and that the mining
output will be doubled, making neces.
sary the standardizing Of all the Den
e & Rio Grande lines. To widen
the tracts in the Colorado mountains
will be very expensive.
Rock Island Lets Contract.
The Rock Island railroad at last
has concluded to build the MISSING
link of road from Ardmore, Indian
Territory, west to Waurika, thereby
making connection with the line tc
Lawton. The contract has been ie'
70 w. a. shippy to finish grading
from Ardmore to Waurika. This vii

Better Meat Wanted.

There was probably never time in
the history of the live stock industry In
the United States when there was
greater demand for good stock. While
the popular demand on the market tor
stock varies from time to time the rule
is that the well bred and well finished
steer. hog and sheep is the best all round
seller. With our improved knowledge
of beef cuts and the education OF the
people in reference to slaughter tests a
demand for better class of meat has
grown, and as result the stockman
must now grow better steer, better
hog. and "a better mutton sheep than
ever before. We are glad to see this
condition, because it marks sign OF
progress when the retail dealer becomes
critical. 1t means shat the raiser OF
stock for the market must be fellow
who is up to date in methods of feeding
and breeding. 1t does not cost any more
10 raise good animal than it does a
poor one, and the successful stockman
today is the one who is able to study
closely the demands of the market and
then be able to meet it.-New England

Our Dairy Interests.

A conference was held recently by
Commissioner of Agriculture Gilman,
the officers of the Maine Dairymen's S
Association and S. c. Thompson of Win
terport, State Dairy Inspector, in regard
to Mr.. Thompson's plans for the coming
year. The officers of the State Dairy.
mems Association, Frank S. Adams of
Bowdoin, president; c. j. Jones of Cor
inna, vice president; RutilluS Alden of
Winthrop, treasurer, and l.. w. Dyer OF
Cumberland Centre, secretary, were all
present, and with Mr.. Gilman and Mr..
Thompson the field was gone carefully
over in the discussion of the need of
work along various lines and the most
practical way of getting at it. Mr..
Thompson, who was appointed State
Dairy Inspector under the provisions OF
the law passed at the last session of the
legislature, has been spending three
months at the dairy school, Madison,
Wis, and returns more filled than ever
with enthusiasm for his work, and for
the outlook of dairying here in Maine.
While the details of his work for the
coming year are not yet fully arranged,
it will be along the same line as last
year. visiting the creameries and facto-
tories and keeping in touch with the
farmers who sell cream, the factory peo-
ple who manufacture the butter and
the dealers who handle it.
Furthermore, he will try this year
more than ever before to get in touch
with the great army of Maine farmers
who manufacture butter at home and
sell it in the village and city markets.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
ne richest of all fats, the pure

Don't Spoil Your Pastures.

Now we approach the time when the
demon of false economy tempts the
average farmer to let his cows out on
the pastures to save the stable feed. 1t
is true, the latter may be scarce and to
buy feed seems an unwarranted ex-
penditure, and, furthermore, the cows
themselves seem so thoroughly to en-
ioy the freedom of the pastures after
long winters confinement, that the
mptation is great indeed.
Nevertheless, we raise our voice Tor
rather spread our wOrds) in favor of
keeping the cows in until the ground
has become firm and grass got a good
start, says the New York Produce Re-
view. Many pastures are ruined more
or less by the trampling of cattle when
the ground is soft and by close graz
ing in the early, spring, and the argu-
ment of the cost of buying feed Gf
necessary is, after all, but weak one.
It is true, the feed may cost more than
the COW pays for in milk at the present
time, but it must be remembered that
well fed cow in good condition, when let
out on pastures will keep on paying for
the feed she got while in the stable, and
hence our advice is, keep the cows in
until the pastures have got good start
and feed the cows literally! You will get
back your money with good interest.

Save Your Typewriter Ribbons

Don't throw away old. wornOut type
writer ribbons. This is the advice Of a
veteran stcnographer in downtown
office.
"Old ribbons make the best ink In the
world" he said. After one has been
so badly worn that the keys make but
faint impression OH the paper the
cloth still contains enough coloring
matter to make pint OF high grade
ink. Take the ribbon and put ii in a
Jar containing about pint Of cold wa
ter. Let il stand there for three days,
stirring it around once in awhile. The
result will be better ink than you can
buy for % cents pint.
The best of ink is used on typewrit-
er ribbons 1t practically is indelible
when used with the pen. Moreover,
there is no sediment In it. Most inks
are not solutions. as many persons
think. The colorlng matter is simply
held in suspension. In good Inks
this matter stays evenly distributed
throughout the liquid In the poor inks
ii sinks to the bottom, and you lave
grlmmy deposit at the bottom of the
well. Black ribbons are always the
most available for making ink in this
fashion. :;S most persons object 10 using

Two Types of Farmers.

Millet, one of the greatest painters
of his day or perhaps of any other, has
painted two types of the farmer. The
first picture is called, "The man with a
hoe" and in it you see man strong,
sturdy, powerful, but in whose face
there can be found no trace of refine
ment of culture or Intelligence.
In the other picture you see the home,
small and inexpensive, but everything
about it has an air of refinement not
often seen.
Coming up the road very near the
house is the farmer returning from his
work. Standing just outside the door is
the mother who has just allowed a little
one to 60 from her arms to try and meet
its papa who instantly drops on his knee
and extends his arms to receive the tot
tering little one.
These two farmers lived long ago in
far away France, Out they can be found
to-day in our own country. In the first
we recognize that farmer who can not
stop work long enough to get acquainted
with his neighbors whose own selfish
desire to become rich affords him no
time to mingle with his neighbors or try
to make the world better, who thinks 1t
time and money thrown away to belong
to a grange or attend or help support a
church.
Of the other type there is little need
of saving he is the noblest work of God,
and who we are glad to say are growing
in numbers. The first type are learning
that they cannot afford financially if for
no other reason to allow his brother
farmers to meet to combine and ex-
change ideas and are therefore fast join
ing the grange. Then it is they begin
to add dignity to labor to be honest, be
lust and fear not. He can retire at
night and feel every cent he has earned
has been earned honestly and that no
poor widow or orphan in some far away
city is made to suffer thereby, but rather
he has helped to feed them and at the
same time kept himself unspotted from
the world. When we join the grange we
get new ideas that may help us in our
work on the farm and grow mentally
and spiritually and grow in our love for
one another. So why should not all be-
come interested in the order?-Cor. in
