Those novelists who sometimes feel that their

the same way. A letter from Samuel Richard

While long haul rate enables those ;located at a distance from a given market to compete with those who are in close proximity to it, it Is also true that this brings about n condi- ton which consumes the margin of profit belonging to the more distant producer and likewise puts the prices of various kinds of produce down so low that there Is little money in 1t for the nearby grower

LOSS OF THE CUD.

An interesting little girl of the writ CTS acquaintance expressed surprise on noticing the other day that a COW raised her cud from the stomach for the purpose of giving it a more thor ough mastication. She had somehow got the notion that she kept her cud In her mouth all the time, thel way some men do a wad of tobacco, and that If she lost this cud-that Is, if 1t went from her mouth-it was a serious matter, and she was not likely to sur vive. For the benefit of our little friend and some others who may not be acquainted with the fact 1t may be we'll to state that the term 'loss of the cud' Is used to refer to a cows inability to raise a cud from the stom- ach, where the coarsely chewed grass or other food is stored so that 1t may be more thoroughly masticated when the animal has eaten her fill and has spare time on her hands. Of the other farm animals the sheep also chews a cud, while the horse and hog do not, but give their food all the mastication it gets when 1t is first taken into the mouth. r

An Excellent Work.

An excellent work Is being done 1T the Order by Patrons engaged in writ ing for and conducting grange depart ments in local papers, says the Penn sylvania Grange News. These mem bers should be commended and encour aged in this good work. for 1t not only aids in keeping the general member ship posted on the activity and prog ress of the Order, but Is weekly plac ing these matters before many read CTS who are not members, thus direct ing their thoughts toward the grange.
 Editors of local papers, as a rule, arc very friendly to this work, and If you are not having any grange matter in the local papers of your vicinity would it not be a desirable matter to place before the next Pomona session and sec If some action cannot be instigat. ed to bring 1t about?

Advertisements on Barne.

Every grange should devote at least one evening to the discussion of the question of advertisements on barns and on large signboards in the fields through which railway trains pass. It is a hideous dissertation of farm sur roundings and should not be permitted. Every grange farmer should resolve that no such advertising can be done on his buildings or premises.

One thousand five hundred dollars tied up in horse or a COW looks big, but the thought of that amount being represented by single hen is calculat- ed to take One's breath away. This lis the value placed on a white Orpington hen which has a record of 236 eggs in year.

HORSE PASTURE FENCES.

The inclosure which is intended for use as horse pasture should have the fences which inclose 1t equipped in some way for the protection of the horses, especially If they are made of barbed wire. This nay be done by running board around the pasture close to or just above the top wire. While this may be expensive as a starter, it Is well to remember that with the prices of horses where they are at present one animal would pay for a good many rods of fencing.

It contains 2,206 acres, occupies ;an area of three square miles and will contain when the plant ing is completed 100000 peach trees. The orchard Is located on irrigated land which is fed by nearby springs.

Forest areas, with their natural mats of dead leaves, grass and other forms of vegetation, serve as huge sponges to hold the surplus precipita- tion of moisture which falls during rainy weather. gradually releasing it in the form of springs and brooks which are quite uniform and tend to keep streams at a uniform stage Of efficiency for water power purposes. In the destruction of our forest areas, which has been carried on so ruth lessly for the past twenty-five years and more. this mission which they perform has been largely overlooked. but is none the less important
 The occupation of the land by the white man has not only meant the punishment of the Indian, but the ex- tinction of the buffalo and threatens the early disappearance of the prairie hen. While this game bird used to be most plentiful in an early day and a tramp of an hour would usually re suit in finding several coveys of the birds and the shooting of a good bag of them, a fellow is extremely fortu. nate now If he succeeds in baggin2 more than a couple after a half days tramp unless he takes a week off and goes to the Dakota wheatfields, where the country is more sparsely settled and where the birds are not disturbed during the nesting and growing period.
 The figures showing the increase in the growth and development of the cement industry of the country are almost beyond ones ability to under stand or believe, and yet they come from such authentic sources that they cannot be doubted They show that during the year 1906 there were pro- duced in the United States 51, ,OOO, ,445 barrels of cement, possessing value of $55;302, ,227 This exceeded the out put of 1905 by 10,OOo,OO0 barrels and value of $19,OOO,OOO. Twenty years ago there were manufactured 250,OO0 barrels of Portland cement and 7,000,- 900 of natural cement, while in 1906 the Portland cement product aggregat- ed 46,50Q,0OO barrels and natural ce. iucul CWlfc llLuleu u IOldl Ol t{OOOyOOO A friend whose corn is usually ripe a week or ten days before that of most of his neighbors attributes 1t 10 the plan he follows in blowing the land for the crop in the fall. He blows to the depth of but four inches, it being his theory that when the corn roots strike the solid soil during the growing season of the following year the tendency fs to check the rapid growth of the corn and hasten its ma turity. There Is no doubt something in this theory, which has much to com mend 1t in the northern portion of the corn belt, where one of the main considerations in growing a crop of corn Is to get 1t to mature early enough so that it will be out of the way of the first frost Deeper blowing would undoubtedly result in larger growth of stalk and ears and a corresponding iy larger yield, but the danger from damage from frost would undoubtedly be increased.

For looks sake, if nothing more, 1t Is we'll to clear the dead vines and plants from the garden when their period of usefulness is passed. To H. lustrate the thought we have in mind, there is nothing more disconsolate and dreary looking than a cabbage stump sticking up through the snow on a midwinter day or the skinny limbs of played out tomato wine.

Too often the qualifications and quality of service rendered by tffe teacher of the public school are taken for granted, not as much interest be- ing manifested along this line as would be shown in the selection of & groom for thoroughbred horses and cattle. It would not only be good thing for the pupils of the school, but satisfactory to the teacher herself, if patrons would visit the school more frequently and get a first hand knowi- edge of the teacher and the quality of her work

c. o. D. Saloons Legal.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has given the G. o. D. saloon
a new lease of life by its decision in
q case from Kentucky. The Adams
express company was prosecuted in
that state for bringing G. O. D.
liquors from Cincinnati and de-
livering them to the consignee if he
paid the express charges. The
supreme court of Kentucky sus-
tanned the conviction, but the court
of last resort reversed it on the
ground that the express company as
a common carrier was compelled to
receive transport and deliver the
goods. The practice of the Cincin-
natl concerns was to ship the goods
to the express Office and then issue
postals to probable customers mott.
flying them that the liquor could be
obtained by calling at the express
office and paying charges This de-
cision is of special interest to Iowa
on account Of legislation adopted by
the last general assembly which it
seems to vitate. 1t means that the
G. o. d. saloon cannot be abolished
except by action of congress. Even
the authority of congress to deal
with the matter in the manner pro-
posed, by the Hepburn-D Deliver bill
is questioned Dubuque Times.

Gold is Discovered.

Gold has been discovered on the
Jos Bier farm in the town of Mil
ford, Brown county, Mimi, five
miles southwest of that city, and the
people are in a furore of excitement
The farm had been for sale several
years but on account of the Cotton
wood river running through the
land, causing a deep ravine it was
not considered an ideal farm.
Recently, however, John X. Neu-
man, a local mining engineer. en-
amined some of the sand and rock
and came to the conclusion that it
contained gold, silver and copper.
Samples were sent to the state uni
versity and to an assay Office in Den
yer, Col, and word came back that
they contained gold in paying guam
tiles and that the explorers should
secure ownership at once.
Hubert ]. Berg, for 20 years man
ager for j. +. Neuman's department
store, resigned his position, and in
company with Fred Kretsch became
SO enthused over the discovery of
gold that they purchased the farm
of 237 acres for $1,000. 1t is pro-
posed to begin active mining at
once. Considerable of the gold
bearing rock is exposed. Farmers
having land adjoining the Bier farm
are busily engaged making excava-
tions and expect to strike paying
veins.
In consequence of the discovery
Of gold all farms in the favored
neighborhood have become the Nee.
ca of prospectors, but the farms are
not for sale at any price. Not since
the discovery Of gold in the Black
Hills have the people become so ex
cited in this city.

said they were going to stand by
their contract and permit the use of
the church. At this point the Scien-
lists themselves came forward and
said that rather than be the cause
of controversy among the mem
bers of the church they would can
Gel their contract. They proclaimed
that Christian Science seeks not to
make discords in any churches, but
to promote peace and love. 1t was
a bit of generosity that the New
York press has made much of for
the benefit OF the new creed. The
Scientists themselves, through their
various publications, have made use
OF the incident, not merely to show
their own generosity, but to show
the bigotry of the other sects and
creeds. The advantages growing
out of the situation are certainly
with them rather than with the
Beecher church. That church has
been compelled to be placed in a
somewhat illiberal attitude toward
another church and another sect.
AS matter of fact. the church of
Beecher would in no wise have been
desecrated by the use to which the
authorities in the church gave their
sanction.-Cedar Rapids Republican.
