It is worth remembering that hem
lock plank will not lastmore than two
thirds as long as white pine when used
as planking for bridges. 1t is not that
the hemlock will rot more quickly. but
it splinters up under the wear by sharp
shod teams to a far greater extent
than does the pine, and it does not
seem to make any difference whether
the wear is had ~lengthwise or cross
wise, the result is the same. Where
hemlock is used for this purpose it
should be bought at a much greater
margin Of difference than there usually
is between it and pine.

If alcohol can be made and sold for
light, heat and power uses at 10 cents
a gallon, which it can if not taxed, no
easier way exists for the people to
get after the worst trust in the country
than by demanding needed legislation
to make this thing possible. 1t would
make twenty cent gasoline look sick
to have to compete with ten cent alco-
hol. Germany is on to this scheme,
and congress had better import a
Dutchman OF two to tell US how to
do it.

There died in a western state recent
" a newspaper man. He was bright,
original, a bit cranky and generally re-
spected. 1t was funny, but true, that In
the many well deserved tributes which
were paid to his memory by the pa
pers of his state the very best thing
which he had done during his long life
was entirely overlooked. For years he
had been an advocate Of improved
highways, of more intelligent and SEN
sible methods of working them and e
pending the highway taxes. In season
and out Of season, while. wabbling
more or. less in a political way, he
could always be depended upon to
write and talk for good roads. W. can

Of pure gold and do not need repairing

We give the following figures as CIV
en- to us lately by a manufacturer of
the new cement blocks which are now
coming into use. He said that a silo
sixteen feet in diameter and twenty
five feet in height could be built at a
cost for the blocks of $134; that these
blocks are so dovetailed into each 9TH
er that they make a practically solid
wall. If to this be added the cost of
laying up it would seem as though here
was a silo for something about 5000
that would be the cheapest and best
thing yet worked out. This idea is
worth investigating.

The present prices for farm products
fully justify present prices for farm
lands. In fact, if assured of a continu-
ance of such prices the value Of good
farm land would easily bear an adj
n of 20 per cent. Good land is to-
day u Of the cheapest things on the
market as well as one Of the safest in
vestments. Farmers wives will do a
good thing if they balk and refuse to
sign deeds of the farm at present val
ues.

WINTER CARE OF THE ORCHARD.
The winter care of the orchard should
receive attention. The grass and weeds
should be carefully removed from
around the base of the trunks of the
trees down to bare ground. so that the
mice may be prevented from building
nests and girdling the bark of the tree
during the winter. All trees under five
years setting in orchard should be pro-
tected with something. either a wooden
shield or wire netting, or wrapped with
paper or gunny sack, in order to pre-
vent the rabbits from girdling them.
1t is not best to pillow the orchard in
the fall; better to leave grass and
weeds or stalks for a sort of winter
protection to catch the snow and hold
1t in place. The winter is a good time
to haul the manure u and fertilize
the trees. something which all trees of
bearing age should have done to them
once in three or four years. The win
ter is not a good time to prune the
trees. This work is better done in late
May or early June, when the sap is
flowing and the wounds are readily
and quickly healed.

has all been picked one ear at a time.

A farmer is never quite ready to
move to the town if he can't get rid
Of a laundering to raise hogs. A hog
In a town is always out of place unless
he is dead. AS a begetter of original
finement takes the cake. Hens in town
are bad enough, lowering the moral
status of any locality where they run
at large. But when coupled with the
odor of a hogpen on a warm August
evening the two combined can neu-
traliZe the best efforts of the churches.
If you think you must keep hogs, stay
on the farm. where there are plenty of
wind and neighbors half a mile apart.

During the sever years drought in
Australia a mare of native stock made
the discovery that there were green
and tender grasses growing at the bot
tom of a large pool of water, and she
learned to dive to get them. Her prog
eny also took up the diving habit, and
the chances are that had the necessity
continued a new race Of diving horses
would have been created.

The cement blocks for building pur-
poses can be made in almost any COM
munity and used in constructive work
at just about two-thirds the cost of
brick, with the added advantage that
the work, while equally durable and
fireproof, looks much ~handsomer. The
best of it is that wherever there is
sand Of good quality these cement
blocks may be proftably manufac-
tured. While we have not as yet noted
that it has been done, we see no rea-
son why a cheap and excellent drain
tile could not be made from this mate
rial, which ought to give a fine bust
ness all through the prairie regions,
where fuel is high priced and tile
draining a necessity. -sm-r-~ !

THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE.

The regulation of the matter of trans
portation is the most important mat
ter which the American people have
to deal with in the near future. This
thing is of greater Importance than
the tariff, the race question or the for
eign policy of the government. The
economic necessities of railway trans
portation are compelling a centraliza-
ton of interests, a merging of roads,
which results in investing the few men
who control the merged interests with
an almost despotic power over the ag-
r%icultural, commercial and manufacture
ing interests. a power which the Amer
lean people will never consent to have
exercised. no matter how ~benevolently
welded, independent of government
control. A trifiing matter of freight
rates in these days of sharp competi-
ton determines the question of profit
or loss for the farmer. the merchant
and manufacturer. Government own
ership Of the roads is practically out of
the question. but government control
of them is not. The people Of the coun-
try will hold the party in power to a
strict accountability on this matter.
1t is amply proved that the freight re-
bate is always a trust begetter and
trust builder. and it is rightly demand
ed that this wrong shall be righted.
Men may succeed or fail in business en-
terprises conditioned on a hundred diff
ferent business factors. but they should
never be allowed to succeed or fail be-
cause of an unfair or inequitable
freight rate.
