The ranch is owned by the A. G.
Dohrnstead Company, of Minneapolis,
and consists of 900 acres, all of
which will be used for wheat grow
ing. The land has been acquired by
the company within the past two
years and about half of it has been
broken and is now in wheat. Last
wear the company had 2400 acres in
wheat which yielded about 30 busE-
els to the acre on an average, and II
it is fine hard, winter wheat. A
steam engine, weighing 10 tons,
draws the plows which break the sod
for this great ranch, but Professor
Severance says this will be dispensed
with after the sod is broken, for
the engine is too heavy to be used on
land in cultivation, for it will pack
too hard for crops.
There are really three farms, and
II is 80 miles from the two OUTSIDE
farms. The center one lies 10 miles
from one and 20 miles from the other
Int the country is level and the roads
are generally good, and Professor
Severance will have automo Dlles
with which he will run around from
one farm to the other and over the
various farms, experimenting the
work. He will have foreman at
each farm. and these foremen are
men of high education in scientific
and practical agriculture and each
of them draws $4,000 per year SO IT
is easy to see that the project Is
one of mammoth proportions.
Professor Severance leaves Janu-

The Junk Business Said
 To Be Greatest Money Maker

country or superintendent of a factory in Chicago sells to the peddler and
 through him to the junk dealer is large"
 Just where the high profits come in
 in the junk business is hard to tell Al
 least. the Chicago junk dealers them selves are shy about disclosing their
 trade secret.s Those, however. who
 are close enough to these men to kno W the ins and outs of the business state that the money is chiefly made In ma nfpulatiug the prices to the advantage of the large dealer. The country, ped. dler, it is said, sells his stun more or less "mixed'' and gets certain price for it. When his car load of goods reaches the junk yard fin Chicago 1t is sorted. The junk dealers here know the market for each and every kind of old iron or metal, and in this way are able to get the highest prices.
 Another reason for the large profits
 which the dealers make is said to be
 the fact that the great majority oi peddlers are generally foreigners, ig- norant of the language and of the GUS
 toms of this country, and miserabIy
 poor, in addition. Such people can be
 easily "squeezed" on prices and taken , advantage of in every direction by the wholesale junk dealer. especially if that dealer be lacking in scruples as to his
 methods of making money.
 "If you had access to the biographies
 of some of the best doctors. the most
 successful lawyers and biggest business
 men of the West Side," said a veteran
 West Side resident, you would almost
 invariably find that they,began as junk
 peddlers just as sure as you can trace
 every immigrant from the Slavic coun-
 tries of Eastern Europe today to the
 steel mills or mines, or the Italians to the railroad camp.
 Tn spite of the fact, however, that
 the junk business is responsible for the
 success of many. 1t Is hated and detest-
 ed by almost every one. Including even the large junk dealers, who are the real
 money makers. There is an atmos- phere about 1t which makes 1t disgust ing to Q man of liner sensibilities. The associations one has to form, the peo- pie one frequently has to deal with are of an unsavory and often utterly unre. liable character. Of course, there are crooks in every business.
 But when a junk dealer is caught
 buying stolen goods even when he bought the goods unkno wingly one hears more about 1t. and the contempt for the man is stronger than 1t would be for a common burglar. The story about the burglar would be forgotten the next day. The story about the junk man who buys stolen goods how CTS in the air long after the man has either been sentenced or acquitted" The migration from the slum to the boulevard on the part of many rich junk dealers Is in way an attempt to live down their regulations as junk
 men. Generally such a man moves to
 the boulevard when his children, and
 especially his daughters, grow up. Liv-
 ing in the slums beside his junk shop
 his daughters in spite of his money
 could not marry out of her class, as it were. On the boulevard. however, re-
 moved from the junk shop atmosphe ere
 and associations, her matrimonial
 chances are expected to improve.

 Junk leads to the boulevard" E. This has not yet become . proverb but 1t bids fair to join the list in the near future. At least, this is what one would conclude from the repeated mi. grations of slum junk dealers to the better and in some cases the best neighborhoods of Chicago. Judging by the apparent ease with which these dealers move from the congested guar ters to modern homes and the ease with which they keep up these homes one might believe that c line of least resistance lies somewhere between junk shops on CanaI Clinton and liar rison Streets and some of Chicago's fashionable residence&

In fact, ft fs this absence oi large expenditures. the absence of high rents. which adds to the money-maki character of ashe junk business.
 "The junk business. said merchan' century in Chicago. ''is today one ol the best-paying industries in Chicago or in the whole United States. for that matter.

The real junk business concerns itseiE not with scraps of iron amount ing to 100 pounds or so, but with car load lots. steel than any country in the world and as a consequence there are great quantities of old iron.

Every factory. mill or mine in short, every occupation. every build ing, new or old, has something to dis- pose of to the junk man. some time or another.
 ..So much for the city of Chicago Now for the country. Chicago is the central market for junk dealers Tor all the Northwestern States. Daily scores of cars loaded with scrap iron reach this city and are distributed to the va rious iron yards. which are found IT the vicinity of the railroads.

EuEaula Times.
 This used to be country where ons could have his own opinions about matters of politics and religion without being censured, but the time has been reached in Alabama when some have grown so biased that they have no tol. erance for those who do not think as they do. This has been brought about the gospel becoming too active in poli- tics. We have the gl eatest reverence for our ministers. but can not help but think that If those of them who have to preaching the gospel and so conduct themselves that they will have the con fdence and respect of all classes theiI congregations will be larger and theii influence in leading sinners to Christ greater. But above all. let's not fal out with each other because we diffel on political issues. Every man has a right to his convictions.
