new evidence of the growing import
ance of the Pacific coast to the great fnan-
ciers and manufacturers of the Atlantic
coast is shown by the establishment at Seat
lie of the Western warehouses of the United
Mills Supply Co. The mills from which this
concern supply their customers are among
the largest in the United States, and their
plan of selling direct to the consumers ap-
peals strongly to careful buyers. The ad-
vertisement of this concern appears regular

To Tell the AGE of Eggs.

Incubator people may be interested
in report that comes from Saxony or
an efficient apparatus for telling TO a
day the age of an egg. The machine
is constructed upon the principle that
the air space at the larger end of the
egg increases in size with the age of
the egg. When the egg is placed in
LIQUID it has consequently an incre as
ing tendency to become vertical, with
the blunt end uppermost. The ap-
paratus itself consists of glass vessel,
bearing at the back lines drawn at
various angles, each line marked with
the age The vessel is filled with some
harmless liquid, in which the eggs to
be tested are laid. Each egg will take
up a certain position, and, according
to it's age, it's longer axis will be more
or less inclined to the horizon. The
direction of this axis is compared with
the lines at the back of the vessel, and
the age of the egg read Off al lines to
which it's axis is parallel.
A new-laid egg lies horizontally at
the bottom of the vessel An egg
three to five days old raises itself from
the horizontal so that it's axis makes
an angle of about 20 degrees. At eight
days old this angle has increased to
about As degrees, at Ii days it is 60
degrees, at about three weeks it is rs
degrees, and after four weeks it stands
upright on the pointed end. A bad egg
floats. With practice it is stated that
the age can be told to day.
There are poultrymen that through
practice and observation have become
so proficient in testing eggs for age
by immersing them one at time in
water that they can at least detect
those so far affected by age as to be
too stale to hatch. Whether using this
new apparatus or the old-fashiOned
water method, there will Away be an
element of guesswork in it, and this
will be increased or diminished wholly
by the amount of Judgment and expert
ence the operator can call to his assist
ance.
One thing wants to be kept con-
stantly in mind in this connection. In
immersing eggs intended for Matching
great care must be observed that they
are not chilled, as the chilling of an
egg kills the germ.
The new instrument is interesting
from a scientific point of view, but for
the average poultryman the personal
knowledge of the age of each indi-
vidual egg Matched will be found the
most reliable.

Kherson, a New Variety of Oats.

The Nebraska experiment station
has published a report on tests by
farmers in various parts of Nebraska
of a new variety of oats that were i'm
ported by the station from Russia in
1897. These are called Kherson oats
and they have given unusually good
results, particularly in central and
western Nebraska. The report may
be obtained free of cost upon writing

Hens lay best when kept in rather
small fiocks. They should have plenty
of room to roam about and hunt for
food in most natural way, and build

J. Milton, agent for wholesale seed
firm of Minneapolis. Mr.. Milton is con-
tracing with farmers to raise peas for
seed for his firm, anu expects to con-
tract for about 900 acres of peas in
that locality. His firm made contracts
with a few farmers near there last
year, and where the crop was prop
erly cared for the farmers made good
profit, as high as $3.50 per acre being
made.

The high price of turkeys this winter
has started a boom in the turkey bust
ness, and every egg available through
out the country will be set. In many
places the breeding stock is rather
limited on account of the temptation
to sell which has prevailed throughout
the season.

Capons are in most demand after the
holiday season and until we'll along
into the late spring and early summer.
A capon does not reach it's prime until
nearly matured, which requires from
nine to twelve months. A young, i'm
mature capon is no better than a
cockerel and will not bring any more
money.

cannot be done by trusting to careless
hands to look after the wants OF the
fowls and attend to their feed. A very
important point which most hired help
are sure to overlook is that OF cleanli-
ness about the coOps and sleeping
quarters. A regular system of clean
ing, watering and feeding must be
practiced; the feed should be varied
some what, and the individual birds
need looking after IN regard to lice
and other vermin.

The Road to Success,

The following rules for success III life are promulgated by an eastern finance who has made a success for himself:
 The first flight in the stairway to success has one hundred steps. Each one being a saved dollar
 lie who is in debt cannot take the first step towards success until he is out of debt.
 ltis the dollar that you do not spend that puts you ahead.
 There is little real pleasure in things you cannot afford. The debt lasts longer than the joy.
 A man may easily run into debt, but he usually has to walk out.
 Hundreds of people are always a little behind. For the sake of having a few luxuries little ahead of time they are continually anticipating their income.
 Ready money softens many a misfortune.
 The dollar put at interest builds old ages easy chair.
 If you would be poor spend all as the spendthrift does.
 Hard luck is almost always simply a lack of foresight.
 Each step taken each dollar saved makes the next one easier.
 A competency waits at the top of the stairway of persistent saving.

Fertile Valley of inc Mississippi

While it is true Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas invite the Homeseekers and others in search of a profitable investment and business competency, there is another field along the Frisco System quite recently opened to those interested in personal betterment of financial resources.
 On June 1st, the line of railroad heretofore known as the St.Louls Memphis & Southeastern, now Frisco System, was extended to St. Louis, thus makinga a territory in Missouri and Arkansas, along the west bank of the Mississippi River, accessible by way of St. Louis. The present service consists of passenger train ieav- ing Union Station 7:1O am. daily for Cape Girardeau, Luxora, Charlottesville and intermediate points to Memphis, also the Cape 
 Girardeau accommodation daily, leaving Union Station 4:2Op.m.
 Some years since, perhaps a quarter of a century, this section was avoided by reason of want of development or progressive ness; now, however, 1t is consld- cred equal, as the homeseeker and investor may measure, to Okla- homa, Indian Territory or Texas. The change in condition through out was accomplished by large governmental expenditure, progressive people and extended railroad facilities prom oted and maintained by the Frisco system operating, asit does, nearly 'oo

 In the Palace of Mines the splen-

Cn8rgo or thlS eXnIOlt.
 In the Palace of Mines the splen- did mineral resources of Ark ansas have been efficiently rep resented through the large ability and untiring energy of Prof. A. H. Perdue, Prof. of Geology and Minerology in the Arkansas University at Fayetteville, assis- ted by Mr. Carl Smith. Arkansas outdoes all her sister states iu variety of useful minerals and in zinc, lead, bauxite, marble, phosphate rock, coal, antimony manganese, asphaltum, chalk and many other resources shows specimens which cannot be dup Heated in any other part of the world.
 In the Palace of Education the state again comes in with a very creditable exhibit which com pares favorably with those of many an older state, The eul- ture and art of the people of Ar kansas, as we'll as the progress efficiency of the states public, private and denominational edu- cation institutions, are we'll por- trayed and shown, The state owes much for the conspicuous success of this exhibit to the in- dustry and public spirit of Prof. J. H. Hinemon, state superin- dent of public instruction, and Miss Allie May Applegate.
 The Arkansas state building, managed by Hon. .Thos. W.Milan of Hot Springs, and presided over by Miss Lizzie Cage as hostess, is the social Mecca of all Arkansas people and has be- come noted for the hospitality shown to visitors from other states. It is a neat frame building colonial style, representing the Southern manor of ante bellum days. It is neatly finished and furnished, nothing but products of Arkansas being used about the building. In the main room of the lower story the Land Dep- artment of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern and the Little Rock and Fort Smith Rail- ways has installed a composite exhibit of the woods and minerals of the state and ornamented the walls with paintings from life of familiar industrial and pict- uresque scenes, also with views of leading educational and fraternal institutions. This room is in charge of Mr. A. T Ellis, assisted by Prof. Chas. F. Brown an expert mineralogist from Hot Springs.
 The Crystal Grotto in which leading scenes at Hot Springs are portrayed, may be found in the north end of the Government building. It is under the man. agement of MT. E. F. Cooley, and is we'll worth visit.
 The Arkansas State Commis- sion, composed of Hon. Geo. R.. Bedding, president; J. c. Rem- bert, secretary; Geo. T. Lake and H. T. Bradford, with Thos. w. Milan, manager, is to be con- graduated upon practical, econ- omical and efficient manner in which the interests of the state have been handled. Under their :, efforts the superiority of Ark ; ansas exhibits at the Louisiana , Purchase Exposition over those made at the Worlds Fair at Chicago fully illustrates the mar- velous growth and development of Arkansas.

BANK Is CLOSED.
Efforts Making to Interest
New Capital.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Madison, Wis, July 28.-State
Bank Examiner Bergh this morn
ing closed the doors of the State
Bank of Mauston, Juneau county.
Deputy Bank Examiner W. H.
Richards was placed in charge. The
liabilities are $137 ,901. .33, of which
$40, ,794.O9 is due depositors.
If the new capital is advanced and
the institution is'relieved from some
of the loans which are said to be of
a doubtful character, Mr.. Bergh
says the bank will be permitted to
resume.
The principal stockholder in the
bank was the J. 7. Heath estate.
It's president is John S. Ivers, who
recently took charge. The bank
was formerly under the manage
ment of E. V. Benjamin, a stepson
of the late J. T. Heath. It's fnan-
cial difficulties are said to have
been caused by too large loans to
single institutions and some of it's
resources will, it is said, have to be
scaled.

Qrom Thursdays Daily.)

E. J. Wheeler of Kilbourn, was in
the city today and made a trial run
with his big passenger automobile
from here to the Cliff House and
return. The machine is about 80
horse power and had little difficulty
in climbing the hills where the road
bed was hard and smooth. The
auto made steady ascent of the
steep hill south of the Oak street
bridge. However when the ma
chine came to the sandy roads it
was severely taxed. The entire
power was not in use this morning
as one of the engines was out of
adjustment. Mr.. Wheeler says
that when he has familiarized him
self with the roads that he antici-
pates but slight difficulty in taking
the machine over the roads be-
tween here and the lake.

WATER BOND BIDS
Mason, Lewis & Co. of Chica-
go Probable Buyers.
From Wednesdays Daily.)

The finance committee of the
city council met the repre-
sentatives of several banking houses
in the City Hall yesterday after
noon to receive bids for the CITY
water works bonds. At four o'clock
the sealed bids we're opened and
showed the following offers to buy
the bonds: Bank of Baraboo Sill,
900, N. W. Harris & Co. Ill, All,
Mason, Lewis & Go, 115, $50; E. H.
Rollins and Son 10, 413 so, and the
First National Bank of Chicago 11O,
308. Each bidder accompanied his
proposal with a certified check
of $500 as evidence of good faith.
The bonds have par value of $11O-
900. They bear four percent inter
est. The date of aturity is from ap-
proximately two to twenty years.
The finance committee will make
their report to the city council to-
night which meets in regular ses-
sion at the city Hall. There is every
indication that the bid of MasonI
Lewis & Co. will be accepted for
they were the highest bidders.
The representatives of the other
banking houses have left town and
their deposits returned to them.
AS the advertisement stated that
the bonds were to 90 TO the high
est bidder, with the usual provisions
for rejection, it is almost certain
that the committee will report IA
vOrably upon the highest bid and
that the council will accept such re-
port. AS soon as the transaction
is completed it will be only short
time until the con veyance of the
water plant will be made to the
city.

Good For Sumpter.

A special election will be held in
the town of Sumpter August 9th
for the purpose of raising nine hun
dred dollars to build cement cul-
vert bridge across the creek near
the Cd Johnson place. The old
bridge was washed away by the
high water last March, and a tenn
porary bridge was built which will
remain there until a new one is con-
structed. Sumpter is setting a
good example for other townships,
not only in bridge building, but in
road Improvement as well. Already
eighty rods of the West Baraboo
road has been macadamized, and it
is the intention of the enterprising
farmers of Sumpter to macadamize
forty rods more this fall.-Prairie
