Last Wednesday 7. j. Lannigan,
publisher of the Jones Co. Times,
and j. A. Voorhees,, mayor of Month
cello, met several of our business
men and talked over the proposed
interurban railway from Davenport
to this city.
The plan is somewhat new, but
we believe quite practicable. 1t is
proposed to use gasoline for motor
power. Stop at the raise of a hand
anywhere like cars on an ordinary
street car line, have sidings every
mile or two where farmers can load
and unload freight and use only a
50-foot right of way.

weather-crop Bulletin.

For week ending June %, 1906.
Complaints of dry weather were
silenced by the generous showers
that refreshed vegetation in all
districts of the state in the early
part of last week. The amounts re-
ported range from light to heavy,
but there was no place left unwater-
ed, and there were no destructive
local downpours. Cool nights and
partly cloudy weather prevailed
most of the week. Conditions were
favorable for oats, wheat, barley and
grass, and were not at all detri-
mental to the corn crop, which has
been thoroughly cleaned and has
made fairly good progress, giving
promise of being fully up to the
average height and stand by July
LIST. The pastures are row in good
condition, and the hay crop has been
improved, though the yield will be
below the average. Early haying is
in progress. Garden truck and the
late berry crops have received much
benefit. The general outlook is
quite satisfactory.

says the Cedar Rapids Gazette, when
some one is not able to dig up a
new species Of graft. Here is the
latest story, SO far as heard from:
There is a brand Of computing
scales made that shows an article to
weigh l6 ounces, when as matter
of fact, it weighs but Is. If an
article weighs an even number OF
ounces it shows that fact accurately,
but it simply refuses to show an
odl number OF ounces. 1t is in
great favor with retailers, for sell.
ing purposes only, because it al
ways shows the next higher even
figure if the article happens tc
weigh an odd number of ounces
If it occasionally showed the next
lower the general average would be
all right, but it does not, hence the
popularity of the contrivance.
e. W. Hoag, civil engineer o

able experience with both cemen
and timber dams, was called herr

tearing along al a pretty fast clip
not exceeding the speed limit of

THE FARM HORSE.

The noon meal of horses should be
the most concentrated feed. Feed
most of the grain then, and but little
hay. At night give the most hay.
1t is not easy for the horse to work
hard with his stomach stuffed with
hay.
An Illinois farmer gives his horses
a dry bed by mailing two by fours on
the stall floor an inch apart. This
gives the liquid manure an opportu-
nifty to drain back. The grooves are
kept clean by the use of strap iron
hoe made for the purpose, which fits
into them.
1t is never a safe plan to drive an
animal with so loose rein that you
cannot instantly command the situa-
ton if necessary.
The difficulty of disposing of com
mon grades of horses is as much in
finding buyers for them as in getting
respectable prices.
A stable blanket is very desirable,
even for farm horse not at work in
winter. 1t conserves heat by prevent
ing too rapid radiation from the
body. 1t keeps the hair more glossy,
and, in large measure, prevents soil
ing the hind limbs while lying down.
A wool or part wool blanket is best.
An experiment station says that the
closer a draught horse is to the ground
the better both for service and endur-
ance.
If you expect the best work from
the team, let them keep steady gait
and do not urge them into forced OF
rapid gait.-HoEse-B,eedey.

CULTIvATING THE CHILD.

There is not single desirable at
tribute which, lacking in plant,
may not be bred into it. Choose
what Improvement you wish in a
flower, a fruit or tree, and by cross
ing, selection, cultivation and persist
ence you can fix this desirable trait
irrevocably. Pick out any trait you
want in your child, granted that he
is a normal child, be it honesty, fair
ness, lovableness, industry, thrift,
what not. By surrounding this
child with sunshine from the sky and
your own heart, by giving the clos
est communion with nature, by feed
ing him we'll balanced, nutritious
food, by giving him all that is implied
in healthful environmental influences
and by doing all in love you can
thus cultivate in this child and fix
there for all his life all Of these traits
naturally not always to the full in
all cases at the beginning of the
work, for heredity will make itself
felt first, and, as in the plant under
Improvement, there will be certain
strong tendencies to reversion to
former ancestral traits, but in the
main with the normal child you can
give him all these traits by patiently
persistently guiding him in these
early formative years.
And. on the other side, give him
foul air to breathe, keep him in
some dusty factory or an un-
wholesome schoolroom or crowded
tenement up under the hot roof ;
keep him away from the sunshine.
take away from him music and
laughter and happy faces, cram his
little brains with so called knowl-
edge, all the more deceptive and dan
gerous because made SO apparently
adaptable to his young mind let
him have associates in his hours out
of school, and at the age of ten you
have fixed in him the opposite traits.
He is on his way to the gallows.
You have perhaps seen a prairie fire
sweep through the tall grass across a
plain. Nothing can stand before it
must burn itself ont. That is what
happens when you let the weeds
grow up in child's life and then sci
fire TO them by wrong environment

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

You may get through the world, but twill be
If you listen to all that is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted. and kept in
stew,
For meddiesome tongues must have something
to do
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else you're
fool:
But don't get excited-keep perfectly cool
For people will talk.
And then if you show the least boldness of heart
Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They will call you an upstart, conceited ana
But keep straight aheai-don't stop to explain
For people will talk
If threadbare your dress and old-fashioned your
hat
Someone will surely take notice of that,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay your
But don't get excited, whatever they say
For people will talk.
If your dress is in fashion. don't think to escape,
For they criticise then in different shape
unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's naught to
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do is to do as you please,
For your mind, if you have one, will then be at
ease.
OF course you will meet with all sorts of abuse !;
But don't think to stop them-it's not any use

ESTABLISHED 1850.

beauty of its situation" Of this his
toric pilgrimage, made by Washing
ton and Clinton. we will let Wash
ington's S own words suffice:
II have lately made tour, he
soon wrote the Chevalier de Chastel-
lux, through the lakes George and
Champlain, as far as Crown Point.
Thence, returning to Schenectady, l
proceeded up the Mohawk River to
Fort Schuyler formerly fort Stan
WIKI Rome, New York and crossed
over to Wood Creek, which empties
into Oneida Lake, and affords the
water communication with Ontario.
1 then traversed the country to the
head of the eastern branch Of the
Susquehanna, and viewed the Lake
Otsego, and the portage between that
Lake and the Mohawk River, at
Canajoharie.'
Such was the itinerary of the party;
the trip made profound impression
on Washington because he now saw
that New York possessed the one
natural artery from tide-water to the
Great Lakes. He instantly became
exultant in his admiration.
Prompted by these actual obser-
vations," he continued in his letter
to de Chastellux. II could not help
taking a more extensive view OF the
vast inland navigation of these United
States, from maps and the informa-
ton of others and could not but be
struck with the immense extent and
importance of it, and with the good
ness Of the Providence which has
dealt its favors to us with so profuse
a hand. Would 10 God we may have
wisdom enough to improve them. l
snail not rest contented till have ex-
plored the western country, and ira
versed those lines, or great part OF
them, which have given bounds to
new empire" {"
Washington Irving, writing in 1857,
we'll says: 1.-The vast advantages of
internal communication between the
Hudson and the great lakes which
dawned upon Washington's mind in
the course of this tour have since been
realized in that grand artery of ma
tional wealth, the Erie Canal" +"
From his trip up the Mohawk,
Washington went back to Newburgh,
thence to Princeton and then to Mount
Vernon, where he arrived the day
before Christmas, 1888. The next
year he made the tour to the West,
which he proposed in the letter quoted,
to the head of the Potomac River
but, on returning to Mount Vernon,
he wrote Governor Harrison of Vir-
ginia "That New York will do the
same Improve her route to the west
ward = x x no person, who
knows the temper, genius, and policy
of those people as we'll as I do, can
harbor the smallest doubt" He GER
tainly did not cverestimate the New
Workers -
In spite of the fact that the engi-
neers who undertook the first i'm
provement of the Mohawk River were
sent to study the locks Of Washing
tons own Potomac Company, the
"Mohawk route" to the West has
since been an object-lesson to the rest
of the engineering world.-Fonr-
