BIG CORN SHOW.

More than 10000 Entries for the
Exposition to BE Held in Chicago.
Thst there will be more than 10000
sntriss for the National Corn Exposition
which 10 to be held in the Coliseum at
Chicago, Is the confident belief held by
the management, based on the hearty re-
sponse that met the first appeal to the
farmers in the corn belt. Within q few
days after sending out the list of the
classifcations for the entry of corn to
contest for the $4,000 cash prizes and
the $4,000 in special premiums offered,
application for 1909 entries were made.
Quite apart from the educational end OF
the exposition, it will be especially strong

The hearing before Special beoerai
r.forea FERRIS Of Missouri in the gov
ernment suit to dissolve the great OIL ON
hination was begun at New York, with
Attorney Frank B. Kellogg representing
The government and John q. MiiDufn ano
cher. A. counsel for the Standard OlA
Company. Mr.. Kellogg submitted IN evi-
dence statistics compiled by the
n;l officials. showing that the Standard
OH Company Of New Jersey mao earned
profits in the last seven years aggresat-
tnx $3.50, 315,9 84, and that during the
uame time dividends had been paid to the
mount Of $SOS,35a,4O3. These profits
came from the plants owned by the parent
csmpany. a. well as from those OF the
subsidiaries controlled by it. This wa
che frst time in the history OF the OIL
trust that a record Of its earnings entire
had been made public. Acting Controller
Fay of the Standard said there were
nineteen subsidiary companies, and gave
their names. The evidence is being taken
for use In the Circuit Court at st. Louis,
where the dissolution suit, under the
anti-trust law, is to be prosecuted. Mr..
Kellogg, among other things, wanted the
company to produce the minutes of the
various meetings at which the absorption
Of smaller companies was arranged, but
the counsel for the company was inclined
to resist.
The examination Of Charles NJ. Pratt,
secretary of the trust, brought out the
fact that the parent company had n
ierred its 100000 holdings in the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company Of Texas to
4 son-in-law of Vice President Archbold
from 1904 to 1907, during the custer pro
ceedings brought against the subsidiary
by the State Of Texas, and that only
$125,OO0 in cash was paid for the stocks,
the remainder being in the form of a note
which was never fully taken up, the prof
it's of the Waters-Pierce company going
toward the payment Of the note. Mr..
Pratt admitted that this transaction did
not appear on the books Of the Standard,
the accounts being kept under the title,
&C. NJ. Pratt Investment" MI. Pratt
explained that by this arrangement 10
held the stocks for the trust merely as .
convenience, and when asked If it was
not done to avoid the antitrust laws Of
Texas he replied, mot that l know Of"
Tabulations were also verified showing
enormous earnings of subsidiaries, among
which those Of the Standard Oil Company
Of Indiana appeared most remarkable.
This corporation on a capitalization ct
100000 made profits in 1905 amount
Ing to S1O,516,OS2, and last year paid to
the parent company $4,495,5 SOC. This
amounted for at least one year to the re-
marlable profit of 1000 per emit Mr..
Kellogg also brought out evidence show
Ing hew the New York branch had been
systematically drained by ~saddling upon
1t enormous liabilities at the same time
that it's assets were greatly increased.
Counsel Milburn disclosed one lime of de-
Tense by giving notice that the trust
would object to any testimony bearing
upon acts committed prior to July 2,
1890, when the Sherman law went into
effect.

any of the life about them. You
never see them at church, at lodge or
at q show even. They are known
oplv tn he Assessor and the census
enumerator. They have devoted
their life to one idea and do not know
when they have attained it. They
have insulated themselves from the
world.
The habits they have acquired dur
ing the accommodating process will
not permit them to enjoy life as they
had intended at the start. Many
such who have shaved all their lives
and perhaps in broken health have
finally decided that it was time to
take a rest, find it too late, and they
come to a premature end because OF
the reaction.
OF course there are plenty OF the
other sort-who take no thought for
the morrow, wholive simply to have
q good time, who do not appreciate
the possibility of a "rainy day
coming.
But there is a happy medium to
be found in the man who makes his
vocation his servant instead OF being
it's slave, who takes an active
interest in all that is going on about
him, who recognizes his responsibility
as a citizen and does not shirk his
duty as such. These are the people
who make the world better because
of their having lived in it and whose
departure will be regretted by their
relatives and all about them.

WISCONSIN STATE FAIR

The Wisconsin State Board OF
Agriculture has just issued an at
tractive wall map of the State of
Wisconsin which is surrounded by
announcements of the annual state
Fair to be held at Milwaukee,
September 9-15.
The plans, already perfected,
promise a state exhibit which will be
greater than ever before held in this
state. The premium lists in all the de-
partments of agriculture, stock rails
ing and the dairy and butter interests
have been very materially increased
and Secretary True is receiving at his
office, in Madison, an unusually large
number of advance entries.
The entertainment features provid-
ed are to exceed in Importance and
variety anything ever attempted by
the Wisconsin State Fair, including
special events for afternoon and even
ing sessions. A great feature of the
Fair will be the airship, which made
such successful fiightsa year ago and
which has been re-engaged for the
benefit OF thousands who did not at
tend the Fair last year and who have
been awaiting an opportunity to
witness the successful flight of a
modern and improved type of air.

ATENANT DAIRY FARM

The Department. of Agriculture has
recently published bulletin de-
scribing the operations of a dairy
farm i'm southern Michigan that pays
the owner of the farm twelve per
cent on his investment and the
tenant the snug sum of 81 800 Il year.
The farm in question contains 12O
acres. with the buildings, represents
an investment of $12,500. Each man
owns half the dairy herd, while the
tenant furnishes the horses and
ordinary farm implements, though
such heavy machinery as engines,
silage cutters, etc, are paid for out of
the undivided receipts. After all ex-
penses are paid the net proceeds are
divided equally.
Sixty COWS are kept at present, to-
gether with a few hogs, and the
gross receipts from the farm last
year was $4,000. The strange part
of the management is that the cows
are put in the stable in October and
are never let out until spring. The
COWS are fed silage and grain twice a

stopped to such depths should be

ABOUT MOVING PICTURES

A long ribbon of celluloid an inch
and quarter wide called the film is
prepared similar to the films used in
the kodak except that on both edges
small holes are punched for the use
of mechanical movement that
actuates the film when the pictures
are taken.
A large camera is used, inside of
which is rolled up several hundred
feet of the film, and machine which
turns crank and photographs
small pictures three-qnarters OF an
inch high and one inch wide. About
sixteen pictures a second are taken.
This film is then developed and
printed upon another film which is
also developed and ready for use.
In showing moving pictures the eye
is fooled just the same as in a slight
of hand performance, for the pictures
are shown about sixteen to the
second and the impressions made on
the eye are motions, when In reality
they are merely successive positions

forms the basis OF the grain ration
and is fed the whole year round,
along with cottonseed meal and oil
meal All manure is carefully saved
and it's application on one eighteen
acre field has increased the yield from
400 bushels in 1894 to 1000 bushels
three years later. The application OF
manure to the soil has resulted in
bringing the yield OF ensilage corn up
to twenty-five tons per acre. Corn
stubble on the farm is generally sown
to rye, the rye cut for hay and the
field planted to corn again. All
manure is hauled directly from the
stable to the field, carrier trans
hitting it directly to the spreader,
which is kept under cover near
the stable.
The milk from the dairy herd is us
ually sold at the rate of five cents a
quart delivered to the customer, so
that the profit Of this farm comes
more from it's large production than
from high prices obtained for the
product.
