when they ordered groceries, then the
English language is not understand
able. BY selling the stun that has
been put under the ban because OF It's
impurity, the mail order concerns
have been able to undersell the local
merchants living hundreds of miles
away from the great centers OF sup
ply
In carrying on this trade in impure
goods, the mail order houses have
done the greatest injury to the con-
sumner. While the local merchant has
lost some trade, he has had at least
a part of the business Of the ranch
man and miner in his vicinity, but
the consumer, who has been caught
by the cheap" prices offered, has
not got what he has been paying for
by a long way, and there Is no way
for him to get even.
AS it has proved with the groceries
sent out by the eastern mail order
houses, so it Is with the other lines
they work off in Montana. The sad
dies and harness offered at phenom-
enally low prices, the buggies and
wagons, at prices which seem almost
like giving the vehicles away, the
kitchen utensils which are priced in
the voluminous catalogues at figures
that indicate the local merchants are
highway robbers, the dry goods that
are offered at such infinitesimal cost
as to compel the ordinary woman to
believe the mail order man is public
benefactor, all Of these eastern mail
order house offerings are on par
with the proved quality of the gro
ceries they have been selling-fraudu-
lent and put out to sell and not for
service. The confession on the gro

made as follows:
Take two pieces of board (such as
have come off some old building), say
about seven feet long, breadth be-
tween eight and IL inches. Leave one
of these boards intact. Cut the other
into three equal lengths, and nail into
the top of the uncut board, as shown
in the illustration. Sometimes, If the
fence is high enough, short board,
the one facing the fence, can be left
out and a cleat used instead. The
tree, before putting up the guard,
should be posted and the guard nailed

ceries should make the eastern mai
order house patrons think before they
send off another order for cheap
goods Helena Record.

Your local dealer stands ready to
set forth in the catalogues of mail or
der houses and more, says an ex-
change. He will trump the best trick
the mail order house ever played II
you will put down the spot cash and
accept from him a class Of goods de-
void of respectable ancestry, and upon
which no reputable manufacturer will
place his name. He can sell cheap
goods, too, if you will buy them from
him with your eyes shut. He can meet,
the best price ever made by mail or
der house if you will plank down tht
money and accept what he gives you
without question and without recourse
but you must not expect him to be
in his place of business every day in
the year ready and willing to furnish
expert help when you are in trouble,
ready and willing to stand back of ev-
erything he sells with his own reputa-
ton and the warranty of a RESPONSE
BILE company.
Honest, now, don't you really pat
yourself on the back when you spend
your money in such a way that in sup
plying your own wants you help build
up the neighborhood in which you
live? OF course you do, and you act
on that idea yourself, but the trouble
is that you don't talk it enough tc
your friends.-Streator Qll) Press.

Pruning the Peach.

The Massachusetts, Experiment sta
ton recommends the following as the
best method of pruning the peach
tree: Prune peach trees moderately,
removing not more than one-third to
one-half the previous years annual
growth. when the wood has been in
jured by freezing. When only the
fruit buds are killed the wood being
uninjured and the trees in good condi-
ton, prune severely. cutting back the
annual growth to two or three buds.
1t may be expedient to cut some
branches back even into two or three
Year-old wood.

How Young Trees Can Be Protected
From Cattle.

Very often young trees, naples es-
pecially, are entirely destroyed by cat
tie reaching up and pulling the tops
down, even when the tops would seem
to be out of reach. Of course, cattle
should not be where young trees are
planted, especially fruit trees; but 1t
sometimes happens that this is not
practical. When this is the case use

collect from the business men in
your vicinity as much money as you
can for the benefit of your churches.
Although we get more money from
you than they do, still it is against
our rules to donate money for build

Sixth-You shall buy your tools

Seventh-You shall induce your
neighbor to buy everything from us,

need of the goods, otherwise you
might have some money left to buy
necessary goods of your local mer-
chants.
Ninth-You shall have the mechan-
les who repair the goods you buy
from us book the bill so you can send
the money for his labor to us for new
goods, otherwise he will not notice

Tenth-You shall, in case of acct
dent, sickness or need, apply to your
local dealers for aid and credit, as
we do not know you.

Clinton, April 17.-At a meeting o.
the building committee Of DeMolay
consistory, A. A. S. R., the plans pre-
pared by Morrell & Son, architects, for
the new Masonic building in this city,
were examined and approved; and the
contracts for construction of the tenn

will probably be called, will be awarded
in the near future and work will be
commenced on the handsome building,
which is to stand on the site recently
acquired by the Masons at the corner
of Fifth avenue and First street.
The plans submitted and approved
call for magnificent cathedral build
ing, 90x95 feet in size, and 63 feet high.
The building will be square, construct
ed of white brick, and will contain
three high stories with a mezonnine
above the second. making it as high as
a building Of four deep stories. The
cathedral will in fact be one Of the
highest structures in Clinton. 1t will
be trimmed with Bedford stone and
terra Gotta, and it's general tone will
not be unlike the new Y. M. c. A. build
ing. The main entrance will be on
Fifth avenue, surmounted by huge
terra Gotta emblematic design, showing
the double eagle of Masonry.
The new temple and site will repre-
sent an expenditure of in the neighbour
hood of 100000. 1t will be beautifully
furnished, and when completed will be
the finest Masonic building in the state
of Iowa, and as f1ne,as any in the mid
die west.

to have been made by Mr.. Ridgley that
il the corpse of an infected animal be

farmer who had twelve fine brood sows,
secured from neighbor the corpse OF

tight box and disinfectants placed over
and about it. The infected corpse was
fed to the brood sows and few days
later seven OF them died. victims Of the
experlmenter's uncertain results.
The experiment would never have
been made but for the fact that the
brood sows were known to have had
the cholera and were supposed to have
been immune from further attacks of
the disease. One of the peculiar re-
suits Of the experimentation was that
a male hog, that had never had the dis
ease, did not contract it from eating OF
the infected corpse.
