All the iron furnaces in the world
produced less iron in 1894 than will be
turned out of the furnaces In the
United States during the current year,
If the rate of production for the first
six months is maintained. This fact
indicates marvellous expansion in
the iron business. No more convincing
proof of the solid foundation of the ma.
tional prosperity could be afforded
than this, for 1t is we'll known that a
nations consumption Of iron is an in.
dex to its business condition. This
is not because there is any mysterious
virtue in iron, but because iron is used
extensively only in prosperous times.
Nearly 13,500,000 tons of plgiron were
turned out from January till June.
This is more than the total yearly out
put for any IL months prior to 1899,
and more than either Germany or
England have ever made in any full
Year. There are no indications OF a
falling OF in the American production.
On June 80 20 new furnaces were un.
der construction, and Is more were
projected. The United States produces
more iron and more cotton than any
other country. II exports the greater
part Of the cotton, but uses nearly all
of the iron in its own industries.

LAYING A CEMENT WALK.
How the Farmer Can Do the Work for
Himself.

Farmers requiring walks about tneiI
homes will find nothing so practical
as cement walks-hygienic, because
non-absorbent; beautiful, because uni
form and artistic in finish; durable,
because harder than stone; and at the
same time cheaper than sawed stone
or any other good sidewalk material
In many cities ordinances require that
in the better quarters nothing but &C.
ment walks can be laid.
What has been found true In the
city will prove equally true in the
country. Like everything else, the
quality of the walk will depend large
" on the skill used in the selection
of materials and laying the walk
The farmer who can find sand and
gravel near, which he can often get
for the hauling, and who could do his
own work at some not over busy time,
would be at no money outlay for the
walk but the cost of cement, which
would not exceed ~ cents per square
foot Of a first-class four-inch thick
walk, as one barrel of Portland cement

The scarabaeus, the sacred beetle

varieties of this sacred beetle, as the

certify both the result Of the vote
canvassed from the abstracts and
from the poll books tally sheets and
precinct certificates
This shows con6iusively that the
board has doubt as to whether CON
gress did not "mean the abstract In.
stead Of the returns as they now con.
struc the meaning"
The Democrats insisted that the
boArd insert IN its letter that each
county clerk should certify that the
poll books and tally sheets he sends
are exactly In the same condition as
when he received them and htat no
change or alterations have been made
To this the Republican board OBJ
iected and stated that Il was not nec-
essary They do this to shield those
who would change the results and do
not hold the county clerk responsible
for any alterations that may be
made In the books since the election
either by him or any one else.
The Democrats will fight the use
of these Doll books IN canvassing the
result of the state ticket and state offi-
cials, but what can they do with three
Republicans on the board who have
already made up their minds to do the
other?
The canvassing board upon the re-
quest of the Democratic state com
mitee have agreed to give them a GER
tilted abstract of the vote cast for and
against the constitution SO that in case
the other does not reach the White
House the Democrats will have a copy
to take there If necessary.
