The New Fair Book.

The premium list of the Audubon
County Agricultural Society for 1907
has just been issued from the Republi-
can Office. 1t contains 92pages includ-
ing the cover. BY running four pages
at time and two on the cover it made
twenty-four runs of three thousand
each or seyenty-two thousand impress
slons. No one outside printing Of
flee can have any properconception of
the amount work it takes to print such
pamphlet. Take the setting the type
amp the distribution of the same; the
reading and correcting of proofs;
making UP the forms; the psinting, to
which we have referred: the folding of
the sheets; the gathering of the sheets
together in book form; the stapling;
putting on the covers and finally the
trimming of the three edges makes a
volumn of work that requires much
time and patience. The book is out
on time and we believe fairly correct.

STEAMSHIP ENGINES.
A Thousand Tons Of Coal Daily Feed
the 1872 Furnaces.

the 1872 Furnaces.
One of the most impressive mani
festations of the power of the modern
steam engine is the sight of an up to
date freight locomotive. starting train
of forty or fifty cars and gathering
way until the whole mass is thunder
ing over the rails at a speed Of twenty
five or thirty miles an hour. When we
attempt by our unaided strength to
move heavy piece of furniture, we
understand very well what is meant
by mass and inertia. TO move single
loaded freight car on the level by hui
man power it is necessary to crowd
around it as many men as can lay their
hands or shoulders against it in unit.
ed propulsive effort. And hence when
we see not one, but forty or fifty load
ed cars, started from rest and swung
into their full stride by a single loco
motive the latter becomes symbefcal
in the popular mind of majestic power
1t is for this reason that to represent
the horsepower which will be neces
sary to drive the new Cunard liners at
twenty-four and One-fOurth knots an
hour we have taken the average sized
freight locomotive as our unit of COM
parison The least amount of power
which the designers of the Lusitania
and Mauretania found would be nee
essary to drive these ships at their con
tract speed was $4,000 horsepower
Now, the horsepower of the average
freight locomotive is about 200, and
consequently the total thrust on the
four propellers of each of these ships
will be equal to the total pull eXerted
by thirty-two modern American freight
engines. One of these locomotives
could haul on the level train of fifty
cars, whose total length would be just
a third of a mile. Consequently the
whole $4,000 power of the Cunarder
expressed in terms of locomotive work
would be sufficient to haul a train OF
1000 cars, whose total length would be
over five miles.
To develop minimum of 6S,OOO
horsepower and maximum that Will
possibly run up to 10000 or 10000
horsepower calls for boiler and en-
CINE plant of truly titanic proportions.
Steam will be supplied by twenty-five
cylindrical boilers, of which twenty
three are double ended and two single
ended, the former being seventeen feet
three inches in diameter and twenty
one feet long The coal will be burned
In these boilers on 1872 furnaces, the
total area Of whose CRATES would be
represented by square measuring
sixty-four feet on each side, contain
ing about 1000 square feet OF surface.
Night and day an army of several hun
dred firemen will be continuously shov-
cling coal into these furnaces, where
1t will be burned at the rate of about
1000 tons every twenty-four hours,
and to insure that the coal is burned
at fierce white heat the air will be
forced through the CRATES continuously
by means of powerful electrically driv-
en- fans, the rush Of air being also as
sisted by the four great smokestacks

Spokane's Ambition.

Spokane has an honorable ambition
to be a state capital. TO achieve 1t
Spokane would make a new state, to
counties of Washington it would add
the northeastern counties of Oregon
and the panhandle" of Idaho. Such
would be the new state. TO round
things out nicely it would recompense
Idaho with the southeastern counties
of Oregon. What is left of Washing
ton and Oregon it would turn into a
single state. Up to the present SpO-
kane only has consented to this re-
making of the map.-New York Trib-

American Electric Railways

The above is high sounding title
and broad enough to cover the whole
American continent; but for the pres
ent it is confined to line to be built
from Muscatine to Council Bluffs by
way of Sigourney, Oskaloosa, Knox
Vile, Indianola. Winterset, Greenfield,
Fontanelle. Griswold and Carson.
The road was incorporated last fall
and agents have been busy securing
the right of way. 1t is claimed that
one of the big bonding companies is
back of it and will furnish the funds
for its construction. Des Moines will
connect by a side line to Indianola
on which work will begin, according
to the newspapers, within sixty days.

The Fortieth Year

The Missouri Valley Times began
its fortieth year, last week, under the
management of it's founder d. M. Har,

Mr.. Emory E. Boyle, most compan.

1t must afford Judge Harris great
pleasure to see what his feeble effort

ELEMENTARY AGRICULTURE.
Being Presented by Prof. E. A.
Minis to the Normal Institute.

The editor dropped in at the school
building the other day for q short
time to hear Prof. Minis present the
the subject of Elementary Agriculture
to the students of the Normal Institute
which he has been doing in series of
lessons that have been of much inter-
est. This is something new to our
teachers but not in some other coun-
ties and in some other states, and
Miss Stearns is to be commended for
bringing this matter before the teach
ears in this practical way Mr.. Minis
has made special preparation for this
work by pursuing course in agricul-
ture in the schools of Nebraska and
he keeps in touch with the scientific
reports from our college at Ames and
the publications by experts ia the
8ureauof Agriculture at Washington.
Lessons on plants in general, on diff
ferent kinds of soil, on grating and
budding, corn, insects, buds and bees
are being given. Some excellent but
simple experiments are being worked
out, such as the teachers can use fin
their schools. The lessons on corn
are in accordance with Prof. Holden S
methods and instructions. Each teach
er was provided with Holden's book
let on the selection of corn for seed,
and Mr.. Minis had secured the loan of
large wall charts from Mr.. Holden
which aided greatly in the understand
ing of the subject. All the teachers
have been taking this work and are
showing much interest and the county
superintendent will urge them to make
use of some of this work In their schools.
AS we understand it the object is not
to try to make farmers of the boys and
girls but to interest them in the plant
and animal life all about them and
to inculcate the habit of keen observa-
ton which is one of the best things
any child can learn. Prof. Minis is
posted upon this subject and has a
pleasing way of presenting it so as to
attract the attention and appeal to
the understanding.

Phenomenal Prices.

Stock men will be interested in the
report of sale of stock in Pennsyl-
vania where one hundred and twenty
four Jersey brought 1913, 800 90, max
ing an average of 1856. Sc. One bull
sold for 81 10000 and a bull calf nine
months old brought $40, 10000. The
reason for such high prices is the fact
that the cows of the herd produce a
bushel of milk per day which yields
three pounds of butter.

Good Prospect for HAY.

1t seems to us there has been con-
siderable unnecessary worry over the
prospects for hay this season. What
little we have seen looks as good as
any we ever remember of seeing in the
past, and an old farmer who has been
in the business for many years says
that there will be more hay and of a
better quality this year than usual
Iowa has never failed yet even though
she is little backward some times in
the spring

Submarine Auxiliary,

When submarine boat becomes dis,
abled beneath the surface of the water
and cannot rise, its crew is in bad
predicament. TO remedy the difficulty
an inventor has contriyed an auxiliary
boat to be carried in the submarine
and to be part of it, practically, un,
til needed. In time of accident the
crew of the incapacitated submarine
would enter the little craft, and when
the containing chamber had been
flooded the bolts would be withdrawn
and the vessel with its human freight
would clear itself and rise to the sur.
face.

When the men reached Hoover's
store, Tuesday morning, they were
surprised to find fire in the furnace
which had not been in use since the
last spell of cold weather. The con-
.clusion is that it was a case of spon-
taneous combustion from some linseed
oil, paper and sawdust thrown in the
day before. The suggestion that all
spontaneous combustible materials be
put in the furnace is a good one.

The Last Excursion.

Some railroads have announced ex-
cursion rates for the Fourth at fare
and third within radius of $50 miles.
1t is said that this will probably be
the last excursion rate ever published,
as the two cent rate will go into effect
on and including July Fourth. 1t is
thought that the roads will not grant
any further excursion rates after the
two cent rate becomes operative.
