Competition in Ore Sales.

Sale of the Hill ore properties to the
steel trust seems we'll confirmed, and
the price fixed on the ore is as first
stated, 70 cents ton at the begin
ming, advancing 5 cents every two years
Till it reaches 81, where it will remain
until the end of the thirty-year lease.
The Journal recently called at
tention to the criminally wasteful pol
icy of the state, which grants fifty
year contracts on flat royalty of 25
cents a ton. The lands belong to the
state school fund, which has already
been robbed of many thousands by the
states failure to get what the ore is
worth. At the last session Of the legis-
1ature an attempt to raise the royalty
was defeated, but the issue is palmer
now, when private holders are known
price exacted by the state. The state is
capable Of driving better bargain.
Either the royalty must be raised, or
bidders given chance to compete for
contracts at auction sale, bidding up
the royalty figure.
Competition is always preferable
where it is possible, and the attorney
general Of the state is contending that
ore cannot lawfully be taken from
state land without q competitive sale
This point is raised in the famous
Mabel Evans case, soon to be argued
before the supreme court. The consti
tuition requires thta state school and in

public sale. Attorney General Young
and his associate, Judge Douglas, main
tain that mineral lease is a sale, as il
takes the valuable portion Of the lanc
away outright, and therefore that al
leases made under the present law ar
tain this point, many valuable proper
ties now leased for Is cents ton roy
atty would revert to the state, and coul,
be sold again to the one making tn
highest bid per ton Of ore. The lowe
court has held that a mineral leas
is only privilege, and not sale o
anything. - Practically, however, tn
holder Of mineral lease takes all O
the land that has value, and the stat
is frittering away vast wealth int
the hands Of the Rockefeller monopoly
Whatever the court decision, tn

eel, the artist, Schaunard, the musician,
and Colline the buoyant-souled philoso
pher, aref having a little feast purchased
with theffew paltry sous scraped together
as the proceeds of a recent trip to the
pawnshop. While the convivial party is
going on, the landlord enters. The stu
dents Immediately gather around him, ply
him with wine and entertain him with
stories until the rent is forgotten and they
hustle him head foremost out of the
attic One of the strongest casts of the
season, including Sheehan, Golf, Bennett,

CARE OF ORCHARDS.

We have found out from practical
experience in the care of an orchard
that not very much reliance can be
placed In the statement of some Or
chardists to the effect that the root
borer will not bother the tree after it
has attained an age of seven or eight
years and the bark gets rouglA An
inspection of our orchard not long
since shows almost as many of the
borers at work in the larger as in the
smaller trees. The only safe way in
the care of the orchard is to keep the
grass hOed away from the trunk, the
waterspouts cut and to give the trees
a careful inspection at least twice dur
ing the season. Thousands of trees
die every year from supposed sun
scald, blight or arboreal heart failure,
when the only thing under the sun that
ails them is that three or four lusty
borers are eating their very vitals out
under the outside bark and just be-
meath or above the surface of the
ground. If you have an orchard,
whatever its size, look the trees over

HEED THE MORAL.

A little five-year-old made a garden
all by herself last spring. 1t was lit
tie patch about eight feet square out
back of the house, and into it the tiny
fingers scattered beans and radish
seeds. AS this was the childs first ex-
perience, she watched impatiently for
the first green leaves and tendrils to
appear. At last she was rewarded.
The garden sprang up and flourished,
and the child was happy, but one day
she went with her mother to visit q
friend. While there the child saw a
beautiful garden, with long, even,
clean, straight rows. She was i'm
pressed and compared it with her
own garden. With disappointment in
her blue eyes, she looked up to her
mother and said, Mamma, I didn't
know that the rows ought to be
straight" The child's garden is a tan
gle Of weeds now, and she goes there
no more. A little direction at first
would have saved the day, and there
would have been one less disappoint-
ment

HOGS.

Strange as it may seem, hogs, like
people, are endowed with tempera-
ment. That hog which is always nos
ing and shifting about and alert at the
sound Of every approaching footstep
possesses a nervous temperament, and
you want to feed him with special ref
erence to furnishing your bacon sup
ply, while that old fellow over there
in the corner, that never stirs unless
it is to eat. you want to consign to the
pork barrel. He has what Is called
phlegmatic temperament. The reason
for the distinctions made is obvious.
For the bacon you want streak Of
fat and streak of lean, and you get
that in the first because the fat is all
worked off running around, but the
second snoozes cOntentedly all the day
long and does nothing but lay on the
fat, which is just what is wanted for
the pork. Perhaps you have noticed
that some hogs lay on more fat than
others and have wondered why.

A COMPARISON,

A farm which is continually drained
by the production Of large crops raised
with reference to supplying the local
or foreign markets becomes in time
like the small town which has just
been visited by the circus. The farm
sends forth its crops without CORE
spending return of fertility to the soil;
the town parts with its money without
receiving a proportionate impetus and
growth in business. In the one case
the object sought is money, which
gives nothing back to the soil. in the
other case the object in view is pleas
ure, which adds nothing to the wealth
OF the community. Each year that tie
farm loses its crops the soil becomes
that much poorer. Each time that the
town has Il circus the people have just
that much less money to spend for 9TH
er things.
