The following figures give some idea
of the remarkable growth which has
been made In the rice growing indus
try in this country during the past few
years: In 1900 there were raised in
the United States 253,000000 pounds
of commercial rice, in 1908 the figure
was 525, 0O0,00 pounds, while In 1904
the output was 5s6,000,0O0 pounds.
The major portion of this countrys
rice crop is grown in the states Of
Louisiana and Texas, where large
areas Of heretofore practically useless
land have been broken up. irrigated
and devoted to rice culture.

Observation leads us to believe that
there is enough waste in the ordinary
stack of clover hay of eight or ten
tons to more than pay for a stout can
vas cover to protect the same. Where
there is an abundance of slough grass
the canvas may be dispensed with, but
so much does a stack of clover hay
settle that unless it is protected in one
OF the two ways mentioned above the
loss is bound TO be large.

A law passed at the last session Of
the Iowa legislature makes it neces-
sary for the proprietors Of separator
creameries to pasteurize all milk be-
fore it is returned to the patrons. This
process is simply the heating of it for
a short time at $40 degrees f. or above,
which kills the germs which may be
present in it. While the law seems to
result in hardship for those creamery
managers who are not equipped with
facilities for so treating the milk, yet
the object in view-a prevention of the
distribution Of the disease infected
milk from one or more herds among
all the patrons of a crea.nery--seems
to justify the means employed, even
IL it does cause inconvenience to the
proprietors mentioned.

The past weeks have been very busy
ones within and without the farm
busy securing the hay crop and in
harvesting and thrashing operations,
the housewife has been engaged in
putting up generous supply of fruits
and vegetables against the long winter,
that these things are greatly relished.
And while it has entailed a great deal
of hard work for her she knows that
these same supplies will not only
greatly reduce the cost of the winter
bill of fare. but that they will also be
vastly superior in quality to anything
that can be bought over the counter.

y fifteen or twenty minutes rest and
relaxation in the middle of hard
afternoons work will often be of more
value to the good housewife, touching
the matter of progress with her work,
than an hour and half spent at the
tasks themselves after the point Of
fatigue and exhaustion has been reach
ell. A chair with an adjustable back in
which one can recline at an angle Of
forty-five degrees is an excellent place
for these short rests.

Lonesomeness has been listed as an
objection to farm life. To the enter
prising, industrious man or woman this
is no barrier. No time is left for this
feeling after the days work is done.

lonesome or they are glad of chance
to read the papers, work in the garden
or enjoy each other.

We were assured the other day by an
employee of large railroad company
that hereafter there will be absolutely
no discrimination in the matter of a
distribution of cars to the patrons OF
the railroads, orders having been sent
out to treat all alike-to accommodate
the man who wants but one car just
as cheaply and with as little delay as
another who may want thousand.
The enforcement of this order will re-
suit in a condition which will be very
acceptable to many small shippers who
have hitherto suffered because OF such
discrimination.

While their presence along the Dor

An old German Of whom we know is
responsible for the following sugges-
ton as to keeping cabbage during the
winter: Fill a barrel with choice heads
and put out of doors along in Decem-
Der after it freezes up, cover and pack
the barrel about with straw so as to
prevent thawing and freezing. Cab
bages kept in this way are said to
keep through the winter and come out
in April crisp, firm and tender. Late
fall apples handled the same way or
placed in a barn or shed are also said
to BE- prime in the spring after they
thaw out, the freezing seeming to
work no injury in either texture or
flavor

A nGmber of towns we know of are
complaining of the dog nuisance-that
ours of all colors, sizes and descrip-
tons are swarming within the city
limits. The cure of the difficulty is
very simple and within the reach Of
any town. Just slap tax of So a
year on every male canine in the city
limits and $40 OH every female, and it
will be surprising in how short time
the dog breed will evaporate. There
are mighty few people who are willing
to pay the amount mentioned yearly
for the privilege of seeing dog wag
his tail or having him bay at the moon.

Garfield Report Flags
Standard Oil Trust.

Washington, Notwithstanding
revelations regarding the methods
aud the practice OF the Standard OIL
Co. and its railroad allies were made
wben the president In q special mes
sage sent to congress the report OF
the commissioner OF corporations,
James II Garfield.
S"ldom has organized capital been
80 relentlescly pilloried.
The work OF independent invest.-
gators of the oil trust In recent years
is completely overshadowed, and
even the most strenuous "muck
rakers" will have to take off their
hats to the son OF the martyred
president.
Garfield presents an array OF the
oil fields and does it with clearAess
Of expression that even a child could
understand.
He not only convlcts the oil trust
Of flsgrant and persistent violation
OF the law, but accuses the officials
OF deliberate lying.
He says that at the beginning ol
the investigation the officials OF the
Standard stated that the company
had not obtained and was not thel
obtaining secret rebates from TIM
railroads.
He then proceeds to show that the
company has habitually received
and is still receiving rebates, ane
cites case after case In proof.
Those who were disappointed OF
account OF the apparently innocuou'
character OF GarAeld's report on th'
beef trust will have no reason II
cavil at the painstaklng, fruitful In
vestigation OF the oil trust. Th
success OF the present instance ha
dismayed his enemies as much as !
has pleased his friends.

FURRY IN MARKET
OVER RUST SCARE
Reports From Wheat Fields of
Minnesota and the Dakotas
Cause Uneasiness.
THERE IS TEMPORARY ADVANCE
THERE Is TEMPORARY ADVANCE

Associated Press to The Eveni.g Tines.
Chicago, July 19.-The reported dis
covery Of rust in the wheat fields of
Minnesota and the Dakotas caused a
sharp advance today in the price Of
wheat here. At the close September
delivery showed a net gain of h-Mc.
Corn was up &c. Oats were practi-
cally unchanged. Provisions were 21k
to &c higher.
The advance in the wheat market
occurred about the middle of the ses-
sion and was brought about by several
reports from Minneapolis. which
claimed that reliable authorities had
discovered black rust on samples of
wheat sent from the Dakotas and
Minnesota. These advices caused an
active demand for wheat, and several
Of the leading commission houses
bought freely. The selling was most
ly by cash interests. Later, however,
offerings became more liberal, the
continued large primary receipts hav-
ing tendency to encourage selling
and large part Of the early grain
was lost. Early in the day the market
was bullish because of the compara-
lively firm tone of the Liverpool mar
ket prices showing only slight de-
cline there against decline of more
than one cent here yesterday. The
market closed firm.
