 Col John Tayloe was an immensely wealthy man for his period. At the age of 20 it is said he had an income of nearly $60,000 a year. When he built the Octagon house his income had increased to $75,000 year. His establishment was known throughout the country for its entertainments and up to the time of his death in 1928 he had entertained within the hospitable doors at his mansion all the noted men of that period, among whom might be named Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Decatur, Porter, La fayette, Steuben, Webster, Clay, Cal- houn, and a long list of lesser lights.

 pie sugar and make the toothsome ma- pie syrup a still better known article of food on the American table. Since 1850 the area of maple sugar farming has greatly changed and shrunk. In the early days of the country maple sugar was commonly made even. in many parts of the south, because cane sugar was virtually unobtainable. Now there is no maple sugar produced in the southern states.
 In Indiana, Michigan and Illinois the maple trees have been extensively cut for lumber and the production of ma- pie sugar and sirup has been reduced to a minimum, while cheap limitations of this delicious article are flooding the markets. The present largest pro- ducers of sugar maple products are Ohio, Vermont and New York. The sugar and black maple yield the most and the best sap. The maple is a hardy and vigorous tree and readily reproduces itself so that the bureau of forestry believes that with proper attention extensive groves of this val- uable tree can be preserved and grown. It is figured out that farmer can cas- fly clear from three to five dollars an acre from a sugar grove, and as it re- quires no cultivation and the farmer can do most of his own work the profit is considerable.
 Secretary Wilson is aiding all he can in furthering this sweet work and ln the bulletins he has issued from his department there are minute instruc- tions how to collect the maple sap with the least damage to the trees and with the greatest economy to the far

added with an unctous smile that of course he would not have been guilty of any such crookedness, but the pos abilities open to Holmes are patent from his statement and it Is probable that public opinion if nothing else will force a criminal prosecution of the case One of the results of the cotton leak has been reorganization of the agricultural department as far as the statistics are concerned. The preDara- tion of the crop reports are to be plac- ed in the hands of a board. AS soon as the returns from the field come in. they will be locked up in vault by the assistant secretary, who will be the chairman of the board. On given day he will hand the reports to the other members of the board who will be four division chiefs and let them figure averages. An average will then be taken of their averages and the re- port issued. The work will be done in an inside room of the department and Secretary Wilson is responsible for the assurance that leak of any sort will be absolutely impossible" The late Statistician Mir Hyde has been giving that same sort of assurance for at least five years past. Possibly, how ever, the secretary's assurance will be more assuring.

Smith. superintendent of the National botanical gardens. Mir. Smith is getting on in years, and it has been deemed advisable that the hundreds and thou sands of interesting trees in the parks of the national capital be given per- manent record. Within the past two years labels have been attached to all the trees, showing their variety and a record has been prepared of those trees which were planted by men of note, so that they form one of the interesting features of Washington to be shown the tourist.

LOOK HERE.

Are you for, or against the trusts?
It seems that trusts are forming In
everything, in order to do away with
competition, and in that way fix their
own prices upon goods, and make
|you pay it. Now don't you really
think that the only way to fight a
trust is not to patronize it? If you
do that you will certainly make the IN
come to ..time, and especially when
you can buy as good or better goods
at much less price.
We are not in the trusts, and
we sell our goods at less than the
trust prices, and give you as good or
better goods. The Hodge header is
the oldest and best improved header
on the market today. The Harves
Jerking combined machine is the
same. The Queen binder is the
strongest and best running machine
known. The Keystone binder is an
improvement, and you will say so
when you see it upon the Nc
Cormick, as the man that builds them
was at the head of the Mccormick
factory for twenty years. But when
the trust was formed, he was thrown
outNof situation, and he is now
whacking it to them by putting on the
market better binder for less money
than the Mccormick. Also the
Keystone and Hodge mowers.
Now friends, we are with you, ADD
we are going to give you the best
goods for the least money. 1t is for
this reason that we are han ding the
Columbia and Thomas drills. They
are out of the drills trust, and are
fighting hard to keep out of it, al
though they have been searching in
many ways to join them. This trust
business is now up to the people.
Let the people stand by these COM
panies that are giving them as good
or better goods than the trust goods,
at the same or less price, and they
can knock the trust in the head every
time.
Leave your order now, for
these headers, binders and mowers.
We will take care of you, and your
orders will be subject to crop condi-
tons. We are not going to bother
you with agents travelling around at
heavy expense, to sell you goods, but
we are going to give them to you
right at our place of business, at
price that will pay you to buy them
of US, as we know you don't want to
be paying an agents commission.
See us before you buy. We are,
Yours very truly,
