Nature smiled upon the iabors.
OF these dear friends Of ours.
Year BY year the crops she nurtured,
With her aunshine and her showers
And the harvest being ready,
She opened wide the door,
As she allied the barns and harder,
With theplenty from her store.
Want and hungera as they travel.
Never 70 this homestead came,
Oh, how happy would the world be,
Could the many say the same.
And now congratulations,
We 20 these dear friends extend,
May peace and prosperity
Continue 70 She end
Many wedding celebrations.
May the future hold in store,
And may God. with all his goodness
Bless this home forever more.
And when the Iiarvests ended,
And He bids the reapers, Come.
When the sheayes have all been garnered
And the day Of toll i done.
May there be grand reunion,
Over on that peaceful shore,
Another Golden Meeting,
With the loved ones gone before.

Packers Control Freight Rates.

Chicago, Oct. 11-Sensational test,
mony was given before the Interstate
Commerce Commission by J. w. Midg-
ley. the we'll known railroad expert.
who said the companies did not dare
disobey the orders Of the big packers.
Mr.. Midgley's testimony tended to
show that by comprehensive system,
of rebates and commissions, trans
portation Of many of the principal com
modities Of commerce is almost wholly
within the grasp of the private car"
companies, which are able to regulate
rates and prices to such degree that
stiles competition
Mr.. Midgley admitted 1t was be-
cause the railways have $SO0,000.0OO
invested in freight cars of their own,
which are in danger of falling into de-
cay and uselessness because of the
growth Of the private car" system,
and that the railways were anxious to
clip the wings of the private cars"

ter Bros. which Arm passed through

Uncle Sam Has Plenty,

Commenting upon the decline of ag-
riculture in England. the Los Angeles
Times says that "the character of the
crops is also changing. English wheat,
owing to its inferior quality. is not pop
ular, and its cultivation Is declining.
Many farmers are abandoning wheat
growing entirely and are sowing their
land to barley or oats, the latter being
the favorite. The oats acreage in
Great Britain last year increased by
80 900 acres. and oats now cover more
than one-fifth of the total arabic area
OF the country. It may be remarked
that If John Bull doesn't want to raise
any wheat at all We can show him
where he can buy the article, and II
he feels like retiring from farm life
entirely he can get barley for his beer
and oats for his horses at the same
place"

best advices.
This has been the banner fruit sea
son and the display this year could not
possibly be beaten" said Mrs. Shute.
Visitors returning from the Worlds

What is confidently believed to be
the largest apple in the world was ex-

Kadcsh orchards on the Navajo reser-

Howard G. Antes is proprietor. The
apple is of the Wolf river variety,
weighs 301a ounces and measures 17A
inches in circumference. The largest

THE FARM AND RANGE
Farmers lnstit ties.

The last annual report of the gov
ernment Department of Agriculture on
farmers institutes states that the in
stitutes are proving success, but
that more ample appropriations from
the legislatures Of the states and bet
ter laws on the subject are needed.
1t is stated that Colorado in particu-
lar is badly in need of better system
of institutes and that some provision
should be made by the Legislature for
that purpose. Heretofore the college
of agriculture at Fort Collins has had
the matter in charge, but last year the
total amount which was available
for this purpose was $685., and this is
said to be totally inadequate for a
state in which agriculture is SO I'M
portant an industry.
Last year Colorado had ten insti
tutes in various parts of the country,
and the speakers were taken from the
college staff at Fort Collins. The to-
tai attendance at these institutes was
1900, which shows that the people are
anxious to attend if the opportunity is
given, but the means at the command
Of the State College for this purpose is
necessarily limited.
All Of the states are now provided
with system Of institutes, but the
only ones which are not provided
with an annual appropriation are Colo.
rado, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Colorado, according to the report, has
a total population of $780, 700, the total
number of homes in the state is 127,-
459. the number of farm homes 24,745,
with an approximate population of
4,7O1, and the per cent. of farm
homes is 1874
