Thousands of men, women and chil- dren in the mountains of Spain and Portugal are employed in cutting cork. It Is domestic trade. and 1t occupies whole villages. Agents from the fac aories and export houses of Seville and Lisbon go through the mountain will lages each year buying up the corks In enormous quantities. It Is not unusual for an agent to purchase 5,00O.000 on one journey. The corks as purchased sn the native villages are of all sizes and qualities. They are sorted in the sities and, after being packed. are shipped by the ton. Once here many af them are recut by hand at the rate of twenty gross day. So fastidious are some bottlers that the cork i'm porters have to keep in their employ Ment several cork cutters to recut such aorks as do not suit customers.

State and County Progress.

Somewhat over fifty years, ago there were
established in the new territory of Minnesota
three public institutions, the capitol, at ST.
state prison at Saltwater, and their locations
remain undisturbed. The old capitol was
burned Another was erected, and was found
Inadequate. Then. another was placed upon a
hill. the pride of the people. for it was hon
estly constructed, tho, at a cost of several mil
lion dollars. The university, under able man
agement, has responded to the studious needs
of the people until it is now the largest III
stituton Of its kind in the new world.
Fortunately the state prison has not kept
pace with the university in growth and it
could not do 50. for the conditions which re-
suited In the growth of the one, happily tended
to stunt the growth of the other. - -
During these years almost every county in
the state has built courthouse. "a JAIL and
an almhouse. besides roads and bridges. The
streets, graded ground, founded parks, pro-
cured water supplies, established fire depart
ments and equipped them. -
The Villages have followed their example.
The school districts have dotted the state With
buildings In which to train the youth; and
every man has been obliged to provide a place
of worship, and shelter for, his family, and
another shelter for his beasts, when then there
was none. @ p ,'.' .& ,-.'..

SHEEP ARE BARRED.
Cannot Be Permitted to Craze
Black Hills Forests.

Deadwood, s. D.. Feb. 13.-It is not
only the cattle men who fight the sheep
industry, but even Uncle Sam seems to
have a grudge against the poor inof-
fensive sheep and will net permit him
to Craze on certain forest reserves. The
Black Hills forest reserve is consid-
cred the most important one in tho
country. its business being greater
than that of any other reserve Cat-
tie and horses are permitted to Craze
Mt Il fixed rate per head. but sheep do
not receive any invitation. This is
because the sheep crop very closely
and cover more ground than do horses
and cattle. There is not any TOD
much grass and fodder on this reserve
;tnd what there is; must be cultivated
tts much as possible. Similar prohibi-
tory rules against sheep have been
made on a reserve in New Mexico. II
IS seldom if ever that any encroach-
ment is made by sheep men upon thes,.
regulations OF the forest reserves. Ac-
cording to the new ruling resident
Htockmen of the reserve will be per-
United to Craze their cattle or horses
ut the price of 90 cents per head and
non-residents at the price OF 80 cents
per head.
