The bureau of statistics recently sent
out special inquiry circular to ascer-
tain the cost of hauling farm crops to
shipping points, and the compiled re
suits representing replies from nearly
1000 counties In different parts of the
United States Indicate that the guam
tity of farm produce annually hauled
amounts to 100000 tons. The cost
of hauling the same is estimated at APP
proxImately $S5,000.OO0, which is an
average of 81 cents per hundred
weight
In general, the hauling cost is to a
large extent dependent upon the value
of the articles hauled. the more valu-
able products taken to market oftener
and in smaller loads, and therefore at
"a greater cost. Corn, wheat hay and
potatoes are hauled ut from : to o
cents per 100 pounds; tobacco and hogs
ut 10 cents per 100 pounds; cotton, 1G
cents, and wool, "a cents.

Iapan's Empress a Poetess.

Haru-Ko is not only woman of great
intelligence and erudition, but a poetess
of talent; she will certainly take her
place in the literary history of her coun-
try. Every Japanese child knows her
poetry. says the London Bystander, by
heart, and on all the important events of
the reign she has written verses. Once.
when the imperial palace had been de
stroyed by fire, the sovereigns accepted
the hospitality of a daimio who gave
them his own palace while their own was
suite were far from comfortable But
when the empress heard that the people
were plying her, she replied by a charm
ing poem. the gist of which is this: The
luxury of life is of little consequence to
me, for one dwelling only l crave-the
hearts of the people" And her desire
has been realized.

For Stacking Wheat.

To stack wheat before threshing so
that it will be dry when that time
comes, is the desire of every farmer
who raises that cereal Mr.. c. T..
Prtchard, Of Randolph, Clay county,
Mo-, has system that he has used for
a generation, and he never lost bit of
wheat by dampness in the stack. He
has great reputation In his home for
this class of work, and he spends a
large part Of his time in showing 9th
ers how to do it. He gives a descrip-
ton of his method as follows:
ITO stack wheat or oats so stack
will not take water. Commence the
stack or rick any way you wish. But
when you have the stack five or six
feet high, just reverse the usual way
Of stacking, and do it from the center
to the outer edge, instead of from the
outer edge to the center. When you
begin at the center to stack out, lay
two or three bundles So .is to keep the
center highest, with a good slant to-
ward the outer edge. If at any time
the outer edge gets too high, stop be
fore you get there, and go back to the
center and commence again. Be sure to
keep the center highest, with a good
slant to the outside.
This way Is just about the same as
one shock on top of the other, only
more slant to the bundles.
There Is no slip or slide. 1t is fast
and easy, and sure keeps the stack dry.
If you are stacking the usual way, and
the stack should begin ts'>slip, just go
to the center and -msJfk out, and see
how quickly you stop the slipping Mix
1t up a little-work from the center
part OF the time. Try IT,"

CRISIS Due IN G0LDFIELD
OWNERS WILL ATTEMPT TO RE-
OPEN MINES SOON.
Troops Are on Guard-Acting Sheriff
Declares They Will Not
Be Needed.

Goldfield, New, Dec. Capt VIII.
liam Cox, the representative of Gov.
Sparks in Goldfield, stated Sunday aft
ernoon that he had information from
the Mine Owners association that an
| attempt will be made during the week
to reopen the mines here with non
union men. This information has
been communicated to the governor
and is in the hands of Col. Alfred
Reynolds, commanding the federal
troops now encamped in this city.
Officials of the Mine Owners asso-
citation refuse to say positively that
such is the case, but every indication
points to the fact that Wednesday
next has been decided on as the day
when the attempt will be made to put
men in the mines to pump out the
water that is fast filling the lower
levels. If there is to be clash be-
tween the members of the Western
Federation of Miners and the soldiers
of Uncle Sam it will come at this
time.
There are now nine companies Of
IlOOpO uClS, Iuc OCCOuu
from Monterey having gone inc per-
manent camp on Combination hill,
within 800 yards of the mill of the
Goldfeld Consolidated company. The
first detachment, which came from
San Francisco, remains in the camps
established in the northwestern part
of the city, mile and half from the
nearest mine.
Sheriff ingalls,, of Esmeralda county,
in which Goldfield is located, has gone
away to some distant mines and the
sheriff's Office is in the hands of Under
Sheriff Bert Knight who asserts that
he is amply able to handle any crisis
that may arise from the attempt to re-
open the mines. He has sworn in a
dozen deputies. He characterizes the
statements made by the mine owners
that the union men are arming them
selves and preparing to make trouble
as false, and says that, in his belief,
there will be no effort made to pre-
vent the mine owners from working
the mines with whatever men they
may employ.
