cent, or a loss, is but a problem of
primary arithmetic, as is shown by
Judge Van Devantor in Arkansas rate
eases. There are other methods
equally simple. the resultant figures
of course being the same. These
computations show as to the commo-
dities covered by the freight rate
statute OF 1907, that two roads. the

ington. allowing nothing for extra
cost, there Is 4 deficit, and with all
other companies less than " per

Judge Mcpherson also says In the

Lard IS the most commonly used cook
ing fat. yet not 10 per cent OF the
food cooked with lard digests naturally
and easily the other 90 per cent. instead
Of uourishing the body, merely clogs the
digestive organs.
Physicians and cooking experts have
long been seeking something to replace
lard, and repeated tests have finally
demonstrated that Cottolcne. a vegetable
oil cooking fat. is not only pure, nutri-
tious and wholesome as olive oil. but is
even economical than lard. Such
noted authorities as Mrs. Rorer and
Marion Harland both recommend Cot
%tolene as much more heal,hful than
lard"

April. 1897, to April, 1909, taken from official and authoritative sources, MT. Douglas said:
 ''Thus we see that the prices of hides are often high when the prices of cat tie are low and often low when the prices of cattle are high.
 "In 1905 and 1906 hides were selling above 15 cents per pound when cattle were below 6 cents per pound, while in 1902 hides were selling at 13 cents when cattle were selling at S1a cents. In 1906 hides were selling at 1612 cents when cattle were selling at 6.S5 cents, while in 1908 hides were selling at 915 cents when cattle were selling at 71a cents. From April, 1908. to April, 1909, the price of cattle declined per cent, while the price of hides advanced AT per cent. From Fehtuary, 1906, to April, 1909, the price of cattle ad- vanced 26 per cent, while the price of hides declined per cent"

NO ADVANTAGE TO THEM

Ex-Governor Douglas of Massachu-
 sstts, Great Shoe Manufaeturer,
 Shown That Cattle Raisers Are Few
 and Get No Benefit From . Duty on fiides.
 Ex-Governor William L. Douglas of Massachusetts, one of the largest man. nfacturers of shoes in the country, has recently issued statement protesting against duty on hides. in the course of which he shows that no benefit from the hide duty goes to the cattle raisers.
 Cattle Raisers Becoming Fewer.
 According to the census of 1900 there were then only S7,629 stock nisers in the country. while there were kAss61s farmersHthat is, the stock mixers constituted less than 1 per rent of our farming population and only about one-dfth of 1 per cent of our total population. As our graz Ing lands are growing less and less each year, which is the case in every country advancing in civiliza- ton, the number of stock raisers be- comes less. It was stated on May IS, 1909, by Boyd's City Dispatch, well mown distributing agency, that they could find only 22.OOO names of per sons who could fairly be called stock or cattle raisers. So that, if we as- 1ume that the cattle raisers are bene- fted by the duty. 800 consumers of shoes and other leather goods must b, taxed for every cattle raiser benefited This is an intolerable ratio of burden. to benefits, even from the standpoin of high protectionist.
 Prices of Cattle and Hides
 But ex-Governor Douglas, after re ferring to these things, went furthe ma showed by careful comparison of the prices of cattle, hides and leath CT for the past twelve years that ther fs practically no relation or connec tfon between the prices of cattle an' hides and not even a close connection between the prices of hides and ieath ne Aftes giyinx an the figures iron

BIG PIGEON RACE.
Over Two Hundred Birds to Leave
Topeka for Milwaukee.

Two hundred and seven Homing
pigeons, 1873 from Milwaukee and 10
from Racine. property of the con-
testants for the trophies of the Mil
waukee district International Fedora
ton American 7Homing Pigeon Fan
ciers, arrived in their baskets at the
Santa Fe depot last night in charge of
Josiah De Gelleke, train baggage mas
ter of Milwaukee to be started by him
in the 500 mile race home the first
morning the weather at o'clock JUS
titles.
The start was to have been made this
morning but clouds interfered and the
birds will be held until suitable morn
Ing. We have to start them as early
as o'clock if possible in order that
they can make the distance in one
day." said Mr.. De Gelleke. Last year
the best time was IL hours, "a minutes,
6 seconds. but some birds did not get
In until well along the next day. From
an hour after shutdown until an hour
before sunrise is counted dead time in
the race for the Homers do not fly at
night and will not start until good
clear day. So we try to get them off
early enough to let them make the dis
tance in one flying day."
The trophies for the race are a time
silver cup, an average speed silver cup
and an average speed blue ribbon from
the national organization. Ten diplomas
are granted to the first ten arrivals.
Il hope to be able to start the birds
in the morning, said Mr.. De Gelleke,
''for it takes deal of care to handle II
baskets Of the Homers and keep them
in condition. Formerly we let the rail-
road men handle them but began to
distrust that water was spilled around
in the baskets and dripping through
the piled up crates ruffied and dampen-
ed the lower prisoners, uniting them
for the long flight. SO we have begun
sending men with the Starters and
can testify that keeping the birds out
of the sun, feeding and watering them
takes all my time"
The pigeons will be started in the
vacant lawn east of the passenger
shops. 1t would be a very pretty spec
tacle for some early riser to watch

Prof Cameron was the chief speak
er of the afternoon and drew large
audience, which was not only COM
posed of those who make a business of
tilling the soil, but also of many of the
towns people. In Shawnee county
there are boys corn growing clubs
which have an aggregate membership
of about 300 youngsters. The members
of these organizations who attend the
lecture were particularly interested on
account of the fact that they are grow
ing corn for exhibit at the coming state
wide fair to be held September 10 to Is.
The subject under consideration was
THE terminating of Seeds and Plant
Breeding" The speaker illustrated his
points bv big chart attached to which
were enlarged photographs which could
be seen with ease at the far end of the
casino, and terminating box for ex-
pertinent was produced on the platform
for further explanation. The necessity
of seed testing and selection in order
to produce the most effective results
was strongly emphasized. The germ is
the most nutritive part of grain of
corn and it is desirable to select ears
of corn for planting which show the
best developed germs. Tests have been
made under the same conditions, which
consisted of the planting in individual
rows different ears of the same varie-
ties of corn. The fact that some ears
represent more growing strength than
others was proven, the yield varying
| from the rate of so bushels an acre
down to So bushels.
