Visiting the butcher shop, the best thing for quick cooking that could be found was sir loin steak It was not eaten because of it's condition, and we did not again visit that shop. Learning there was another market in the adjoining town, we Datronized 1t.
 "The place had a clean, we'll kept look and the chops bought were very nice and tender, though a ftw cents more a pound than the same in that city The second visit to this place was on a warm day, and the custofer was meat about and wondered why it was not in the ice-box. In preparing for dinner the chopped steak bought on that occasion, four hies were count ed, ground up with the eat. These were the only places where meat could be obtained.
 We decided to stick to q vegetable i diet, with variations of canned fish being afraid of canned meats since the recent disclosures.
 Planning picnic supper under the trees one Sunday evening" we opened a box of sardines, obtained at the only grocery store, They looked most un- appetizing, big in small scraps. Not oneone whole fish was distinguishable. They were gingerly sampled, which proved them not to be sardines. What they were it is hard to say. They were thrown to the chickens.
 An order was sent to this same gro- Gerry store or the best creamery but ter. It was found to be not only al- most tasteless but malodorous, and in appearance was most disagreeable. It was in small, crurnbly, dirty chunks and cost what was paid for tn best i butter sold in rectangular cakes in the ] city.
 "In country where butter is made, and living on a farm where there were thirty cows, we did think we should have fared better.But no mutter was made on the place. Later it was learned that there had been mistake in filling the order, This was not the best grade. After that the best was insisted on. The best proved to be only q shade better than that first sent. It was stiA in small, crunbly chunks, and much inferior to that ob- tainable in the city.
 'The New Orleans molasses (so- called) was worth studying. There seemed to be black sediment in 1t. The gingerbread made with it-though the oven was in most excellent baking trim-was heavy and a dark yellowish green color, in spite of the fact that real cream was used.
 Eggs, which were delicious, cost the same as those in New York. Milk, also delicious, cost five cents a quart It was eight in the city. But one member of the family did not like milk and the other was forbidden to drink f it.
 All the water came from a well about sixty feet from the house. There was no drain, so after being used the water was thrown from the door.
 But we did not starve, and no one could take from us the liberty of dress ing as we pleased and the luxury of living under the great shade trees, on the grass or in the hammock and in- haling all we could of the glorious air. (For we wer more than eleven hundred feet above the sea leveL) That was free and priceless" '"-New York Fri. bune.

The c, R. & L. Co. to Spend $SOO,0OO for
 Waterbury

The c. R. & L. Co. to Spend $500, 900 for
 Waterbury.
 General Manager Sewell says that the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company proposes to spend $SOO,O0O in and around Waterbury in the next three years, and that when the work now planned is completed, no city in America will have better equipped trolley service. Seventeen extra large four-motor trolley cars ordered in Oc- tober of last year are just being un- loaded for use on the Waterbury lines. Each of these cars will seat from sev- enty-five to ninety people. They are a part of a lot of twenty-five cars which were expected in the spring, but of which only eight closed ones were re- ceived, and their delay has handicap- ped the company greatly in the eff forts to handle the crowds this sum- mer on special occasions.

How 1t Happened.

Sioux Falls Forum: The result of
the election in Minnehaha county
Tuesday was a surprise to many re-
publicans but it should not have
been. The managers or bosses rely
ing upon previous majorities, took
long chances to select henchmen to
their liking. 1t was not a ticket that
attracted the intelligent voters aside
from the objections all too frequent
that some of the candidates repre-
sented individuals that had become
obnoxious to a large majority of the
people.
Ii a satisfactory ticket had been
selected it would have been elected by
upwards of 1000 majority. The re-
publican constituency are too intelli-
gent to go to the polls and vote the
ticket straight like a flock of sheep.
The issues this fall were not of such
Importance as to lead them to ignore
the personnel of the candidates. The
result is lesson to the bosses. 1t is
well that they take heed of this silent
but none the less emphatic protest at
their methods in the past. If their
methods are not reformed there will
be no republican party in Minnehaha
county when it comes to another
election.

memorable law OF nature, these noble
animals were kept constantly on the

were accompanied by many losses and
innumerable tragedies. Flocks Of

not keep up with its mother; woe to
the wounded fighter OF those that
broke a leg In the perilous passage OF

regular raids over the Mexican border
into the plains Of Texas, to hunt the
buffalo and lay waste such isolated
white settlements as had found lodg-
ment at that distant day. Zebulon
Pike, who crossed the plains to the
mountains Of Colorado some years
later, saw the buffalo and their In

tanned the herds but failed to see In
this any outcome for what he denom-
mated 1.-The Great American De-

duently a mere speculation in which
he waits for a turn in the market.
The control of a great system Is one
thing, the legal ownership quite an
other.
The Illinois Central, under the
presidency of %Stuyyesant Fish, has
kept up the fiction Of identity Of own
ership and control longer than most
of the great systems. Stockholders
have always been invited to attend
the annual meetings and have been
supplied with passes for the purpose.
Much of the stock is in small hold
ings that have been kept for long
periods. Mr.. Fish had the confidence
and the proxies Of these stockhold-
ers. He still has them. And yet the
omnipotent Hartman has been able
to force eight of the thirteen direct
ors to do his bidding and GUST Mr..
Fish from the presidency. This he
has accomplished by the devious me-
thods of high finance" and the re-
suit is that the Illinois Central be-
comes an integral part of his plans
for building up a system that Is to
reach from the Atlantic to the Paci-
tic and from the Great Lakes to the
gulf.
Not only has Mr.. Hartman achiev-
ed this great step in carrying out his
projects but at the same time he has
fed fat the ancient grudge he bears
against StuyveSaIit Fish for the lat.
ter's contumacy during the Equit-
able's insurance troubles in New
York.
But Mr.. Fish is a fighter and a re-
sourceful one. Apparently he has nc
notion of permitting the greatest OF
modern railroad grabbers to get of
with his prey unscathed. At the di-
rectors' meeting yesterday he raised
certain questions bearing on the
legality of the proceedings that may
result in a resort to the courts and a
controversy resembling that in the
case of the Northern Securities. And
there is the further possibility that
at the end of a year Mr.. Fish may ap-
pear at the annual stockholders
meeting with a sufficiently large
bunch of proxies to disposses Harri-
man and his directors. Meanwhile,

Live Stock Notes.

A steer that can get it when he

of a pound of salt per week.

The growth of rams is often de-

grass that has not been closely fed
or that has grown rank during the
wet season. When these conditions
exist, the sheep should be kept In a
shed or shady enclosure and given a
feed of oats and bran.

Harriman's Latest Grab.

Minneapolis Journal: The success
OF d. II. Harriman'S plans for getting
control of the Illinois Central, while
owning but one-fifth of the stock, is
only another illustration of the fact
that the stockholders of railroads
really own them. The man who in
vests in railroad stock does not look
upon himself as having any share in
the ownership or control of the prop
erty. 1t is for him an investment
yielding dividends regularly, or fire.

preciate the importance Of care and
attention in securing good seed corn.
Investigations show that much poor
seed corn has resulted from lack OF
care In the harvesting and storing.
Too little attention has been given to
these points by seedsmen and corn
growers, and the result is that the
corn growers suffer an enormous loss
each year The loss this year to the
farmers OF Indiana from this source
alone will amount to many thousands
of dollars.
Corn should be allowed to mature
thoroughly before being picked. Corn
picked when immature does not con-
tain all the plant food intended for
1t, and consequently has the vitality
weakened. When gathered before 1t
is fully matured the seed is difficult
to preserve. When dried in a warm
place 1t is liable to sprout, and un-
less there is a good circulation of air
It will become heated and mouldy.
During the average season, heavy
frosts may be expected during the
last part of October and early part
of November At this time the corn
on the stalk contains high per cent.
