Lightning Burns Barns.
Fred Hitchins' large barn in Browning
ton was struck by lightning Tuesday
night and burned to the ground with all
the farming tools and three head of cattle.
A very convenient horse barn was con-
nected with this barn by covered walk
and this also was burned, with two large
hogs and three shoats which were in the
basement. A carriage, driving harness
and work harness were saved from this
barn. The dwelling house was connected
with the horse barn, but the pail brigade
did excellent service and were successful
In saving the house and its contents,
although some things were damaged by
moving from the house. June 10 and 20
the neighbors and friends erected a tenn
porary stable for MIR. Hitchins' cattle and
horses, which were in the pasture and
escaped being burned. There was only a
light insurance on the barns.
Ugly Bull Gored Man and Frightened
Woman to Death.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs. George
B. Brewster of Irasburg were much sadden-
ed last Wednesday to learn of a very tragic
happening that took place on the home
farm which resulted in the severe injuring
OF one OF the farm hands and In the death
OF Mrs. Brewster. Charles DeBusschere, q
Belgian who had been working on the farm
about a week in the absence of the man
whose regular business it was, undertook
to lead a large bull from the barn to the
drinking trough. When he tri to take
the creature back to the barn it turned
on him and badly gored him, pushing him
across the yard and finally tossing him
over high fence. Mrs. Brewster hearing
the outcry went out to investigate and
becoming excited was taken ill with an at
tack OF heart disease. She returned to the
house and was assisted to couch when
after few words she lost consciousness
dying in about 20 minutes, very shortly
after the arrival of the doctor. The man
was badly injured, several ribs being broker
ard the lungs being injured and displaced
but though it seemed at first impossible
it is now thought that by good attention
he may recover. The funeral of Mrs. Brew
ster took place on Saturday afternoon. Al
obituary notice will be given next week.

1t was only by Minister of Com
merce. Doumergue stretching a point
on the representation of the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce that Porto
Rican coffee is not strangled alto
gether. A similar thing happened
over cottonseed oil, for which the
French budget had scheduled a rise
in duty from z to 25 per 100 kilos.
This trade is large and growing with
France, but had this become a law
it would have been crippled. The
Chamber intervened effectively, but
these haphazard chance methods can
not continue, especially since arrange
ment with Germany gives France lust
ground for grievance, considering,
moreover, that certain high duties
and the American tariff seem vexa-
tlous, since there is no question of
competition; for example, champagne
and works of art. Therefore. the
Chamber hopes an arrangement will
be made soon to give an immense
impulse to mutual trade between
France and American. Y. World

FRANCE DESTROYS TO TRADE
WITH US.

Paris, Sept. 14-The American
Chamber Of Commerce in Paris is
looking forward with anxiety to the
advent of the Commission from the
United States to arrange the tariff
system on a more satisfactory basis.
The situation is becoming we'll nigh
lntolerable to the great detrimeut of
American commerce with France.
The French government has all sorts
OF ways to reply by pin-pricks to
the high tariff wall of the United
States.
The American Chamber of Com
merce does not desire revision of the
tariff, but convention for the mu-,
tual benefit of both countries, sim
liar to the temporary arrangement
existing between America and Ger
many.
The great countries of Europe, in-
cluding Germany ARE treated by
France on the basis Of "most IA
vored nation" but not America.
This especially tells against Ameri-
can manufacturers, for at present
they have only three per cent of the
trade of France, which imports a to-
tai of $150,000,00o. It is certain,
however, that if the treatment of
"most favored nation" is instituted
American trade will go up by leaps
and bounds.

PAGE TWELVE
LOSSES ON COTTON TARE.
CONTINUED from page nine.)

Continued from page n1ne)
On crop of 100000 bales, this loss
amounts to I44,oooooo pounds. Put into
bales this would make 288,ooo bales. At nc,
this is $I7,28oooo.
The cotton grower loses that sum every
year. And he is about the only man, selling
his goods who has TO lose the tare.
When he buys -four, he pays the tare. That
is, the cost of the barrel will come out of him.
When he buys canned goods, the cost of the
cans comes out of him. When he buys stuff
which comes in jars, and jugs, and bottles, he
pays the tare That is, the thing which the
article comes to market in will be paid for
by the customer who buys the article.
There will always be such a shortage in the
weight or the measure as will make up for the
box, the barrel the keg, the bottle, the jug, or
the jar.
The farmer, bringing cotton to market, is
the only man who is made to lose the cost of
the wrappage. He alone loses the tare
And in his case, the tare is not assessed
against the actual weight of the bagging and
ties, but is arbitrarily fixed at pei cent
which in many cases is double the actual
weight of the bagging and ties.
Isn't the farmer submissive citizen?

That's a plenty" meant just little more
than There thatll do" 1t was a shade more
positive.
That's the greatest plenty" meant that the
speaker didn't want any more, at all-even
though ycu were willing to give it.
That's Gods lavish" meant that prodi-
gality and profuslon in the supply were about
to become superabundant. The thing was
nearing the too-much stage.
This reminds me that, in looking over my
files, | discovered shortage in the June 18th
number of the Weekly Jeffersonian, and adver-
tised for it. That particular back-number was
identified by black cat which the immortal
Nye had drawn, and which Teddy the Great
was melting to jump on Hartman. Well sir,
my request for back-numbers had hardly had
time to go through the mails before process
sion of the black-cat numbers began to stream
toward the town where live. Some came by
mail, and some came on horseback, and some
came in wrappers that cost a cent and some
came sealed up in envelopes that required six
cents. And they are still acoming. My house
is getting filled up with Nye's black cats
Thank you, good friends, thank you, Kindly!

The old time country folks used to have
lots of queer words and phrases which hit the

it could not be missed.
For instance
There, thatl do meant that the speaker

METHOD FOR TESTING SEED CORN
South Dakota Experiment Station Gives Full Directions-No
Way in Which Little Time Can Be Spent 10
Better Advantaae.

The South Dakota Agricultural Elk
pertinent station has sent out direc-
lions for testing each ear Of seed
corn as follows:
Prepare a box as large as may be
convenient for your use and about
two and one-half or three inches deep.
In this box you may use sand, dirt,
saWdust or any convenient medium,
put sawdust is by far the most salts
factory article for the purpose. If
sawdust Is used do o attempt to
NIL the box and then wet it, but put
the sawdust in a sack. soak it in a
boiler of warm water and then drain
1t. Fill the box with this warm, moist
sawduSt and lamp it down solidly
with a brick or piece Of two-by-four
until the box is filled within half an
inch Of the top.
Lay over the sawdust a white cloth
ruled with a lead pencil into squares
AN inch and a half on a side. Num-
Der these squares in some regular Or
der. Now lay the ears which you
intend to test in a row on the floor
or on a board, driving a nail between
each ten ears and numbering the
first, the tenth. the twentieth and SO
on. Or if you haven't a convenient
place to lay the corn out where it
won't be disturbed, number each ear
on a small square Of paper fastened
to the butt of the ear with a nail.
Take the first ear, ear No. /, in
your left hand and with a jack knife
in your right hand take one kernel
from each side of the ear near the
butt, turn the ear a quarter of the way
around and take one kernel from
each side nea the middle, turn the
ear a quarter of the way again and
take a kernel from each side near the
tip. This gives you six kernels which
represent all parts of the ear. Put
the six kernels from ear No. / in
square No. /. In the same way take
six kernels from ear No. 2 and place
them in square No. 2 and continue
until the box is filled. If the kernels
or hollow side up, the test will be
more satisfactory.
When the box is full lay over the
kernels a second piece of cloth. Now
spread over it all a piece of cheap
cloth about twice as wide and a little
longer than the box. Put on this
enough of the moist sawdust to finish
filling the box, fold over the sides and
ends of the cloth, put on a cover to

CAPTURES GIANT EAGLE.
Wounded Bird Puts Up Fight, But
Casso Binds 1t.

Sherman Gardner succeeded in cap
turing a magnificent specimen Of the
bald eagle, in some timber near his
home, three miles west of Fairview.
Gardner had gone to the timber to
secure firewood and spied the eagle,
which was resting upon the topmost
branch of a tree. With a small rifle
he succeeded in winging the bird, and
it f1uttered to the ground. He ap
preached it and e~ndeavored to make it
a prisoner, but in spite of its wounded
wing the bird put up 2 gallant fight,
striking Gardner with its u~ninjured
pinion. and tearing his clothing II
decorating his face and hands with its
sharp talons.
Finally Gardner secured a lasso II
succeeded in looping this about the
eagle and then wound the balance OF
the rope about it's wings SO as to rem,
der it helpless. He then took the bird
home and dressed the injured wing.
The eagle is one of the largest spect
mems ever seen in this vicinity, meas
uring more than seven feet from tip
to tip.
