CAN'T BUILD on CANADA LINE.
The Dominion Takes Steps to Head OF tho
Liquor and Smuggling Trade.

QUEBEC. June 3.-The Legislature OF
Quebec has hit upon curious plan to lessen
the smuggling and illicit liquor dealing
upon the American frontier. Both the
Canadian customs authorities and the
officers Of the Inland Revenue Department
have had to fight the illicit trade carried on
by the occupants of houses, shops, hotels,
&C., built exactly upon the international
boundary line. Thirsty residents Of the
State Of Maine find it very convenient to
enter a building in their own State, walk
to the Canada side Of it and there buy and
drink as much liquor as they please. Very
few who sell the liquor ha We even a Canadian
license to do SO. but when the Canadian
happens that any liquor is to be found on the
Canadian side of the line.
Then again, these border stores usually
deal to a considerable extent in dutable
goods, those in demand upon the south OF
the line being kept in stock on the other
eide until called for when the surroundings
are clear.
The Legislature has ust adopted law
prohibiting the erection Of any building
in the future within two feet of the American
border. 1t remains to lie seen, however.
whether this law will not be made practically
useless by erecting buildings on each side
OF tho line only two or three feet apart, and
tunneling the space separating the two
cellars. And in any case. no means have
yet been found to put stop to the Illicit
trade conducted by the occupants of exist
ing buildings.

BOOMING THE FARMERS TRUST.
Gala Days When Society Of Equity Organ.
izer Comes to Town.

BISMARCK, n. D., June 3.-Throughout
the Northwestern States the American
Society Of Equity Of North America, or
the National Farmers Union, as it is some-
times called, is gaining Roadway
District organizers, who are busy in all
parts Of the Northwest, have little difficulty
in getting the ear of those who must con-
stitute this farmers trust as it is to be-
They have figured that one convert means
many-for when one farmer is imbued
with the idea that with proper cooperation,
he and his kind can fix the prices of their
products, he cannot rest content until he
has enlisted every farmer he knows.
incidentally, the country towns arc
making good thing out of the movement.
They are like county fairs, these meetings.
Scattered throughout the county are notices
of the conferences. In the county seat
the local band with it's new uniforms vol
unteers it's services. The business men
decorate their stores. Ladies' aid societies
hold special meetings, and refreshment
booths crop up on the village green.
The propretors of places dealing in other
LIQUID beverages than those sold by the
ladies aid society get in an extra supply,
and the Mayor thinks out long speech
OF welcome. But the speaker of the day,
of course, is the organizer. who says the
same thing he has been saying to all other
farmers in all other parts OF the United
States for two or three years.

Food for = DOG in Summer.
From Quinn.

bread ia not good food for dogs. II has

told us that il had too much Of a tendency
TO create fat, and not enough in the direction
of bone and muscle, Recently. however.
one OF the great bench show handlers and
iud ges has stated publicly that after trying
all sorts of combinations he found that he
could get his dogs into better condition with
corn bread than with any other food.
About the same time an old foXhound man
told me that he had observed closely for
many years. and that his dogs had always
more strength. vim and endurance when he
fed them on corn bread tle SAID that oatmeal,
and vegetables we're all inferior in results.
He feeds his mature dogs on meat twice a
week and on corn bread the rest Of the time.
His puppies are raised almost entirely en-
oorn mush and milk.

II the man VINO made the original buck
board could see one Of the sorts We turn
out nowadays, said carriage nanufac-
turer, "he would certainly turn around in

The first blackboard. consisting Of .

parts OF the country in which 81 oh buck
boards are st i'll used turned out by local
makers; but the modern blackboard, while
it still preserves in general way the buck
board simplicity Of appearance, is very
different proposition from that.
we put now between the axles under
the blackboard longitudinal steel springs,
which prevent the boards sagging unduly,
and give it greater strength and power
of resist ance and elasticity. We make
such buckboards with one, with two, or
with three seats, seating two, four or six
persons and we make them either without
tops or with them-a buggy top on single
