invested. Some farmers put the interest at
per cent. and are satisfied.
Mr.. John Crowther's detailed estimate as to the
cost of the several crops which is of interest," is
rather below that of his son, but the profit as to
what a farmer should get is not added. Mr.
Gardiner suggested that the several estimates,

printed so as others can judge as to the value of
labor as to production.

posed Of graded COWS. During April he receiv-
ed 100 gallons from to cows, which was % gal

Merryman was named as delegate.
The report of inspection committee at Mr..
Merryman's was read and appreciated. The re-
port Of the inspection committee at Mr.. James
B. Ensor's is as follows:
1--WE take pleasure in stating that the farm
gives evidence Of careful personal attention and
the neat condition of the land generally indi-
Gates intelligent management. The alfalfa lot
which, at the meeting of the club last year at
this place, looked SO promising, we are sorry to
say does not present the same appearance now;
possibly the unfavorable weather of the past
month may account for it. The crop last year.
was unusually good as four tons of hay was har-
vested. On our way to the wheat field we pass
ed through some rye, separated from the pas
ture lot BY combination fence OF boards and
barbed vine. The rye made good start for
good supply of feed for soiling purposes when
the pasture IS shert. The fence is good one
and protection to dividing line.
"As to the wheat the opinion of some OF the
members was that should the weather prove
favorable Mr.. Ensor would get thirty bushels of
wheat to the acre. hut as the crop has so many
enemies to contend with before final disposition,
he must simply do his best and wait results
The grass seed sowed IN the wheat is up nicely.
We found the horses and COWS comfortably
quartered, but regret that the fodder and clover
hay had given out, compelling him to feed the
COWS on timothy hay. On our way to the house
we stopped at an outbuilding where a lot of
chicks are kept, they having been Matched by an
incubator. This being his first experience with
this system of raising chickens we hope it may
prove q success.
"The situation of the home is desirable, as
good view of the valley is had from 1t.

EFFECT ON STRIKE.
SAN Francisco. June 2S-The belief
that the strike of the telegraphers
would be of short duration has been
strengthened and spirit of optimism
prevails among the operators. The
prospect that President Roosevelt may
take a hand in adjusting the differ
ences tended TO brighten the situation.
The appearance of the president of

was suggested by telegram sent by
$. j. Eonenkamp, deputy president OF
the c. i. u. A. in New York, 10 Presi-
dent Small. The telegram stated that
Konenkamp had been invited by Labor
Commissioner NelI TO visit him in

come any official investigation OF the
strike.

Union or the Postal company. Gen.
Supt. L, w, StorTer Of the Postal de-
clared that he did not need any more
men, although he admitted that the
force was not as large as before the

ness has not reached u normal leve!

panies were handling all their business
without delay,

billty for the companies 70 cope with
their work.
