Value of Co-oper.tion.

Sir Horace Plunkett, member of the
British house of parliament who has
been in this country recently, said in
an address to agricultural students
that there was mot a single county,
not parish, In Ireland where the
farmers are not completely revolution
lzing the entire business Of farming by
introducing cooperative methods" And
1t might be added that there is scarce
ly farming district in the United
States where more benefits canont be
realized by closer cooperation of the
farmers. The farmers are understand
ing each other better each year and
are coming closer together in all mat
ters which pertain to their mutual in
terests, but there are still greater posi-
bilities ahead. Describing the 900 CO.
operative organizations of peasants in
Ireland which he was instrumental In
establishing for the purpose Of compe-
tition with commercial industries, fore
Ing out middlemen, compelling rail-
roads to provide better facilities, and
debating more favorable legislation tc
Parliament, done: "The first thing was
to introduce a system Of agricultural
education which extended into every
branch Of the industry, teaching the
farmer, for instance, to purchase every
thing he requires, implements and ma
chinery, of the very best quality. The!
combined to consign in bulk and dis
tribute their goods in the market. The!
combined to raise working capital TO
their operations. They combined t
own breeding animals. They did jus
what you are doing here, brought sci
ence into farming by getting it into tn
schools. They had the same system o
instruction and experimentation SUP
piled by your government"

CHAPTER XVII.

Shortly before ten o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning. Cassagne and D'Auburon
entered the bureau, where under the di-
rect supervision of the commissary the
records of the department of police are
preserved for future reference. Cassagne
was evidently well known to the officers
of the bureau. In a few minutes such
books and indices as he required were
placed at his disposal.
D'Auburon stood by intently watching
his principal as he turned to the index
page Of huge volume. Reaching the
letter &c" he ran his eye rapidly over the
names, which were arranged in the order
of their date Of entry. He started In at
the top of the page full of confidence /;
as his finger travelled down the column,
however, his face grew perceptibly longer.
When he reached the bottom, he gave au-
dibie expression to his disappointment by
exclaiming:
Phillip Graham either was never un-
der police surveillance at all, or he chang
ed his name when he came to Paris"
As the detective uttered these words,
an idea suddenly occurred to D'Auburon
Look Inder the name of the woman
In whose charge he was placed. If he
took any other name than his own, what
more natural than he should take hersT
That's good suggestion" said Cas-
sagne. "Her name was Marie La Seur
as | recollect it-yes, that was it. Marie
La Seur. I'll trouble you for that u
volume"
D'Auburon handed it to him, and th'
search commenced 'afresh. Presently Gas
sagne exclaimed: \
"Here is Philip La Seur. l shouldn'
be surprised if you were right. Pag'
ffty-three."
Hold on a minute. Don't be disap
pointed il it shouldn't prove to be th
man. La Seur is a common enough name
and there are over two millions and |
half of people in Paris to draw from
Here's page ffty-three; now let me Sc
what it says"
The two men leaned over the book a
they scanned the page before them. Thel
they read:
Philip La Seur, placed under polio
surveillance by order of the commissary.
1--WE have him !" exclaimed D'Auburon
in A tone of triumph. 1--WE have hir
now, for certain"
mot too fast, my friend; not too fas,
Let's see what this foot note Is"
At the bottom of the page was write
IN red ink:
.sToulon. seventeen years, forgery"
An expression of intense disappoini
ment spread itself over the face Of tn
detective. D'Auburon, also, understood
philip La Scar could have served ou
but little more than half his sentenc'
Consequently he could have had no han
in the commission Of the crime.
For a few minutes both men were er
tirely nonplused At length Cassagn
who had again been thinking deeply, e'
claimed:
"I shall not be satisfied until hay
esamined the state papers relating to tn
trial, at the conclusion Of which Phil
La Seur was sent to Toulon."
-You will waste your time" replie
D'Auburon.
Il shall not. How do you know thei
may not have been commutation OF sci
tencs1"

value Of Beet sugar Products.

Some idea of the magnitude OF the
beet sugar industry in the United
States can be given by estimating the
value Of the beets sold by the growers
to the factories and of the refined
sugar placed on the market by the fac
tories last year.
II we assume that the average price
paid for beets in 1906 was S. per ton,
the total value of the 4,236,112 tons Of
beets harvested is $2l, ,1SO,560. If we
estimate the value of the sugar Mt Az
cents per pound, the OCT ,224,OO0 pounds
Of sugar manufactured were worth
$43, $685. ,0S0. Probably the assumed
prices both for beets and for sugar may
be q trlfle below those actually receiv-
ed, but these figures are sufficiently
accurate to indicate the magnitude of
the industry.

have picked such tomatoes and put

the supply had run low and prices run

ter way is to pick the smaller ones
from the vines and then hang up the
branch in the cellar, darkening the
windows and keeping the place cool.
They will ripen slowly, and one may

!. LISBON AMID RIOTS
DISORDER FOLLOWS In WAKE
OF ELECTION DAY..
Mob Dispersed After Few Hours
Trouble Followed After Elections
Held Sunday-Suffrage is Limited to
Those Who Can Read and Write and
Who Pay Certain Taxes

Lisbon, Portugal. April 6.--The cleo
tons here Sunday, which were con-
Quoted peaceably with the exception of
minor disorders in some of the dis
affected districts, were followed at
night by serious rioting, which was
only put down by most vigorous action
on the part of the police and troops.
The raoting broke out in different parts
of the CITY, as though by preconcert-
ed plan. Troops which had been
patroliing and others that had been
held in reserve were Immediately or
dered into action and they repeatedly
charged the mobs that in places filled
the streets, but without effect. The
rioters used clubs, stones and whatever
other weapons were at hand, and fin
ally the troops were obliged to fire
upon them, killing and wounding a
number.
The determined action on the part
of the authorities seemed to have the
desired effect, and shortly the mobs
were we'll dispersed
With the exception of minor dis
orders at AMOS and Alcantara, the
elections passed off quietly through the
country, so far as the present dispatch
es Indicate.
The voting, due to the agitation
throughout the country and the active
campaign of the republicans, possibly
was the heaviest in Portugal's history.
Victory for Monarchists.
Nevertheless, a large monarchist
coalition majority, composed of the
two old ''rotative" parties, the national
clerical and the tranquillist groups, is
assured Ninety-nine out of 146 depu-
ties to be chosen, already reported
elected, are monarchists.
In a general way the elections turn
ed out as planned by the parties in
control. The republicans, who had but
two seats in the dissolved parliament,
increased their representation to pos
sibly 20. In Lisbon they swept the
populous sections of the city, but gerry
,manders, including the outside dis
tricts, offset in a measure this advan
tage.
Cry of Fraud.
The opposition leaders are raising
the cry of fraud. They claim that
while government pressure seemingly
was relaxed, the old electoral machin
cry was in full operation because OF
the fear on the part of the government
of a great republican movement, and
that therefore the elections do not rep
resent in any way the sentiment of the
country.
AS the suffrage is limited to those
who can read and write or who pay
certain taxes, the republicans contend
that it was an easy matter for the au
thorities to manipulate the register list
against the republican partizens among
the masses, so per cent of whom are
illiterate. Nevertheless, leaders like
Machado, Almeida and Cunha say thai
the seats they won give then sufficient
strength to wage open war against the
old regime as soon as parliament re
assemblies.
The monarchists apparently are sat
isfied with the results, saying that the
extravagant claims of the republicans
are utterly disproved.
