Famous Swiss Cheese,

According to report by United
States Consul Higgins of Berne, there
are 100000 COWS in Switzerland. They
average 625 gallons of milk year per
cow, a total of 462,500,000 gallons, val
ued at s44000,000 Forty-two per cent
its used for home consumption and
the rest for condensed milk, cheese
and butter.
Although representing but one-ffth
Of the entire milk production the
cheese market dictates the price of
milk to all Switzerland. The cheese
is made in about 1000 small creamer-
les, some of which are owned by
cooperative societies and others by
independent cheese makers.
Summer cheese made from milk dur
ing the time the cows are in the
pastures commands better price
than the winter product made when
the COWS are stabbed. The average
price for cheese in 1903 was fifteen
cents per pound,
The total export in 1903 was $1,000
900 pounds, valued at $4,000 900.

jim Big Heart, a wealthy Indian
farmer who lives at Pawhuska, |. r.,

Ameriea,s Great Iron Field.

The best-placed field for the produc-
ton of iron in North America or, save
that in northern China, in the world,
is in the central section of the Missis-
sippi valley, mainly between the great
river and the Appalachian system of
mountains and northward beyond the
greet lakes to the headwaters Of the
streams flowing into Hudson's Bay,
the physical conditions on the whole
being favorable for the cheap produc-
ton of the metal and its ready trans
portation to the principle markets. 1t
is a question, however, If the store
will supply the demands of the future.

A Universal Love Soma.

Within a rose clad cottage
Beside a southern sea
A mother sat a-Singing.
And her song came to me
Upon the scented south wind
The seagull scared above,
While to shel fair-haired baby
She sang this song of love:
i love you when you're laughing,
love you when you weep;
l love you when you're waking,
And l love you when you sleep.
You don't know how l love you,
How you | do adore,
And every day, you dove, you.
] love you more and more"
Within d wind blown wigwam
BY Lake Temagami.
A mother sat a-Singing
Unto her babe one day.
The wild deer bounded by her,
The wild hawk scared above,
While to her brown-skinned baby
She sang this song of love:
Il love you when you're laughing,
| love you when you weep;
| love you when you're waking.
And | love you when you sleep.
You don't know how ! love you,
How you | do adore.
And every day, you dove, you,

leak in the roof and then cli&bed
onto the top of the house to fix the
shingles, but was unable to find the
spot, so he again assembled into the
garnet, marked a large chalf mark
around the leak, and went back up
onto the top of the house to fix it.

dry, and he was forced to drive his

FISH ALMOST DROWN BOY.
FOR Third Time in Year Lad Is Res
cued From Canal.

For the third time in one year lit
lie Henry SwayZe of Orange, n. j.,
was rescued from drowning. Henry
had been fishing He was towing a
couple OF fish almost as big as him
self. The fish made a dash for liberty
In the struggle Henry was yanked into
the canal. He struggled and spluttered
and was going down for the last time
when he was pulled out by Alvan Dor
man. The fish went on up stream,
taking Henry's new line, which he
had saved up for for three months.
1t was just year ago that Henry
fell into the canal for the first time.
John Abbott rescued him that time.
Later in the year he fell in again, but
managed to get out alone. Last spring
he was in a miXup with a runaway
and was thrown against curbstone,
but escaped with fractured skull.
While in the hospital he was stricken
with typhoid fever and for six weeks
lowered between life and death. He
had been out of the hospital but a
short time when he fell into the canal
for the third time. Steps will be taken
to discourage Henry's fondness for
water.
