Commercial Club Meeting.

At a meeting Of the Lexington
Commercial Club Thursday evening a
resolution was passed protesting
against the proposed change Of train
schedules. The objections to the
proposed changes have been thor
oughly gone over, and it is believed
that upon proper representation Of
the case to the officials a satisfactory
remedy can be found. Agent LOOmis
was present and stated that Passenger
Agent ]. W. McClain had recommend
ed to General Manager Sullivan the
building Of the new depot near the
junction Of the two roads 10 the west
end of town. he said that no definite
action would probably be taken until
Mr.. Sullivan could visit Lexington
and confer with the people, These
two matters are Of serious interest to
the people and it is hoped that they
may awake to vigorous and concerted
action.

The Terror of the Sea

In 1.-THE Terror of the Sea" in the

recounts the awful toll taken by the
derelct of the passers on the highways
of the sea.
Crossing the Atlantic has become a
commonplace, bat, lest we forget the
vast power and the mystery of the sea
here are true tales of the perils that
beset the mariner, and of tie
mysterious fates that have overtaken
stout ships, all within the memory Of
the youngest sea.captaln.
These stories OF great ships found
not once but many times, silent and
empty in mid.ocean, with all sail set
and everything in its place, everything
right and shipshape; but with crews
vanished completely, leaving no trace
and never to be heard Of again. These
stories chill the blood and, because
they are true, tn. y give a sharper thrill
than fiction.

The Vanishing Stock Industry.

In bis instalment Of ''The Greatest
Trust in the World" printed in the
May number of Everybody's Magazine
Mr.. Charles Edward Russell quotes
authorities to show how the Beef
Trust has ruined the cattle business.
"For four years-so runs the
universal testimony in Nebraska-the
cattle.producer has never sold in {
competitive market; and for four years
the price Of cattle on the hoOf has been
dropping and the price OF beef has
been rising.
al say this from my own
experience, said my informant, shat
since the Trust was formed the
producer has never been certain of his
market. When the price drops so low
that owners stop shipping, the packers
push the price up a few points to
induce them to begin shipping cattle
again. But they have their private
and secret ways OF keeping tab Of the
cattle coming into the market, and
known to a carload how many will
reach them on q certain day. When
their bait has been taken and cattle
are on the way, they put the price
down, and the shipper finds that he
must sell at cost, or, perhaps, often
enough at an actual loss. And sell be
must, for TO ship the cattle back to the
feeding.station would be even more
expensive.
1T is a fact that for the last foul
or five years producers have sold both
cattle and hogs at a loss, or, at best
at cost. Nearly every feeder IL
Nebraska has been impoverished
while many have become absolutely
bankrupt, losing all the accumulation
of a lifetime. In my tour of Iowa anC
Nebraska | have found only on,
feeder for every twenty whom l founC
two years ago."

Wheat and rye generally look well,

Correspondents do not agree as to
damage to fruit and berries by freeze
during first part of the week. Many
report that trees are still in full bloom
and no dropping; others report that
one-half of the crop is destroyed, and
some say that not more than 20 per
cent was injured. 1t appears that the
greatest injury occurred in the central
aud south central counties, and on low
land, while fruit on highland was not
seriously damaged. There is still a
good prospect for peaches 10 some Of

Weather and Crop Report.

Columbia, Missouri, April %, 1905.
The growth of vegetation was
generally retarded by cool and un-
reasonable conditions. Oats, clover,
gardens and pastures are In need Of
moisture and warmth. A general rain
would be beneficial In all sections
except a few counties mentioned in the
foregoing. TIE lack of moisture Is
beginning to be seriously felt in all of
the central, and most of the east
central counties.
Corn planting was pushed in all
parts Of the State, and is now general
except the extreme northern tier of
counties; in some counties the work
was completed. In a few localities
corr had come to good stand and was
cut down by frost, but as a rule the
weather has been too cool and dry for
rapid termination.
Early potatoes are coming up, and
IN some localities were cut down by
the freeze, although the damage was
slight.

Creamery managers and buttermak-

what each cow is doing and to weed the

make more profit out OF milk produc-
ton IL he does so and will thus be
encouraged to produce more milk.
Now is the time to begin work OF this
kind for 1905. Cooperation in testing
is the best way TO carry ON the work
On this latter point the New York Re
view and American Creamery says
"Not until some concerted action has
been taken in the matter can we hope
for satisfactory results. and hence we
have again and again drawn attention
to the cooperative efforts in this direc-
ton In Denmark, and we propose to
keep on hammering until the door has
been open wide TO the system OF CO.
operative testing of COWS, with the
keeping of cooperative" pure bred
sires for the service of such cows as an
expect committee may deem worthy.
Feeding and care are, OF course, all
important, and so are regular and COM
petent mixers, but we doubt If there Is
any one point of more Importance to
profitable dairying than this To milk
the right cows, and not to waste room,
food and care on the wrong ones"
