TURNED THE FIRST FURRoW.

The man that turned the first
furrow in Alberta, Canada, is Col.
Clyde, now commanding the Second
cavalry brigade of eastern Ontario,
but formerly of the Fourth Hussars.
Thirty years ago the colonel, who
was then in plains service under
Maj. French, rode east from Cal
gary through the plowless cow coun-
try, where as yet not a plowshare
had been seen by anyone. Some
time on that trip he rode east from
Calgary through the first furrow in
that province. The site of the first
furrow has not been recorded, but if
it is ever discovered a monument
might be erected to the man who
had so much faith in the land that
he dared to pillow a furrow on a buff
falo range.

BUTTER AND THE COMPLEXION
Celebration Of the skin is Produced by
Consumption Of the Oily
Liquid.

An olive complexion is not so
called because the skin is the color
of an olive or an olive leaf, as these
are of many c%olors, shades and tints
but it is an epidermal celebration pro-
duced by the drinking Of much olive
oil. 1t is the complexion most ad-
mired by men, and all women crave
it, Some women of our higher lati-
tudes battle in oil to acquire it, but
the main thing is to drink it and
eat it. The Arabians have a "but-
terry" complexion. Their butter is
in an oily state, almost a liquid,
and a cupful is an ordinary morning
drink among all classes. The appe-
tite for it is universal, and the poor
est persons will spend half their
daily income in order that they may
have butter at every meal. Until re-
Gently they made it exclusively from
the milk of sheep and goats. Other
nations use that of COWS, camels,
mares and other animals.

Seed Testing For Missouri Farmers.

SNSu lSS'liS iOl mlSSUHIi TdTHIeTS.
A seed testing laboratory for
the benefit of Missouri farmers
has recently been installed at Col
umbia by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in CO.
operation with the Missouri Elk
pertinent Station. This labra-
tory is thoroughly equipped for
making accurate tests of the i'm
purities and weed seeds in all
samples and also for making ger
mination tests where desired.
All that is necessary is for the
farmer to send in a sample of two
table spoonfuls or more with his
name attached and a letter &C.
companying it stating wether he
wishes simply equality test made
or both quality and termination
test. The samples sent in should
represent accurately an average
of the seeds from which they are
taken.
This work will be done free of
charge for all Missouri farmers
and seedsmenand reports return
ed within a few days. Missouri
farmers have thus far been at
the mercy Of unscrupulos seed
dealers and tits for this reason
that the laboratory is being in
stalled. 1t will be possible un-
der this arrangement for farm
er to write to seed houses for
samples and quotations, send
these samples to Columbia for
testing and then buy on the re-
suits of this examination. The
value of such seed testing to the
farmers of Missouri can scarcely
be over emphasized and it is
hoped that they will take advan-
tage of this opportunity which
is offered them.

A Wei Editor OnI the War Path.

A beer bottle was the gravel at
the Republican banquet Satur-
day night in st. Louis. When
the chairman had broken his own
empty bottle he used Hadley's to
secure order. The brewers were
at the meeting in force with Otto
Stifel as their principal spokes-
man. He was loud and strong
in his advocacy of the Kansas
republican he and the other
brewers had elected. If the
brewers are so fond Of Kansas
republicans, we think it time to
give the brewers the Kansas laws
in Missouri. While we are not a
believer in prohibitory laws, yet
we would be willing to set aside
our conviction for once and give
the pot-bellied, bull-headed, vote.
buying brewers a full measure
of what they voted for and a few
extras thrown in. Do as the
Kansas republicans did. Pour
their beer in the sewers, con-
tiscate their plants, but instead
of throwing them in Jail, hang
the whole bunch of bloated booze
manufacturers. They have been
the bane of politics in every state
and the corrupting influence that
has been damning wherever they
lent or forced their aid. Pro
hibition will be a vital issue dur
ing this administration and if
there is no other way of putting
these brewers out of politics,
then there is a way putting them
out of business for all time. The
st. Louis brewers are now feel
ing secure under their governor
elect from Kansas, but before
two years have rolled around
these arrogant bulI-dozers will
wish they had not been so zeal
GUS in endorsing Kansas republi-
canism. Give them the full
benefit Of what, they voted for is
the duty of democrats.
