TONS OF VEGETABLES
RAISED on PEELER FARM

One can get something of an idea of
how gardening is made profitable in
this country by visiting the Charles
Peeier farm a mile south of Antelope
creek. Mr.. Peeler has three quarter
sections of land and is in the midst of
harvesting a large crop. He has 220
acres of grain, principally wheat and
oats, and all giving promise of good
yields.
Last spring Mr.. Peeler's garden seed
bill amounted to $51. a considerable
amount for one farmer to expend in
this way. but he is in a position now
to demonstrate to anyone that it was q
good Investment. He has rows Of
~huckleberries just loaded down with
fruit, not less than 10 bushels, and
perhaps the same quantity of Wonder
berries, a new fruit which is very pleas
ing TO the taste as well as attractive.
One of the surprises at this farm is the
great quantities of tomatoes. estimated
at 100 bushels, consisting mostly of the
Worlds Fair variety-a tree tomato.
For picking and fancy dishes there is
the cherry, plum, pear, peach varieties.
Garden lemon, all kinds of melons.
loads of citrons, fine large Hubbard
squash. fall squash, great big yellow
pumpkins, etc., adorn this Peeler field.
He tells us that from his cucumber vines
he had no difficulty in taking cut 10
bushels at a picking and for some time
his vegetable sales amounted to $50
per week. He raised l.. 100 c~auliflowers,
!. 1000 cabbages and is now feeding the
early fall cabbage to his so hogs be-
cause there is no market for them.
The field corn also has a fine look,
good ears and lots of fodder, and in
this connection the little o n of MI.
and Mrs. Peeler think that they are
certain to take a prize in Supt. RAIDERS
corn growing contest.
Mr.. Peeler has a pond near the house.
fed by a big spring, in which the water
is II feet deep, and he plans to put in
a reservoir on the hill above and
arrange for al irrigating plant. He
had no use for it this season. In the
spring a cloud burst necessitated the
re-seeding of much of his garden.
Mr.. PeeIer says that farming suits
him much better than the butcher bust
ness in which he was formerly engaged.
and he finds it more profitable.

ORIENTAL RUGS.
Made to Resemble the Antiques b.
Chemical Washlnas.

Made to Resemble the Antiques by
Chemical Washlnss.
The United States buys annually
many thousand dollars worth of what
are known to the profession as wash.
ed rugs. Brightly colored oriental rugs
sometimes are washed with q solution
Of chloride Of lime, a treatment which
partly beaches the colors and imparts
q soft appearance to the rug.
This chemical treatment is a process
Of washing which produces the effect
Of age and a peculiar sheen to the sur
face. which is pointed out by the I'M
scrupulous dealer as a proof Of supe-
rior quality. The fact is that the proc
ess of washing as described invariably
weakens and In some instances de-
sroys the materials Of the rug.
The progressive effect Of the chem
icals on the materials in the rug is
this: The chlorine gas contained In the
chloride Of lime attracts oxygen and
moisture from the air, by which muri-
attic acid is formed. This eats away
the vitals Of the rug. Sooner or later
the wool and cotton in the rug become
brittle and thus weaken the warp and
deteriorate the wool.
|. When this deterioration is complete
the pile Of the rug may be swept away
by the ordinary process Of sweeping,
and the warp, which Is the foundation
of the rug, becomes so weak that holes
appear here and there, and soon the
rug is worthless.
1t not seldom happens that a Persian
rug is too. staring in some bright hue,
perhaps red, and Is not salable. The
INSCRIPTIONS dealer will subject the
rug to a series Of washings In chem
ically prepared water. In this way he
turns out a rug possessing a soft an
t1que sheen that is truly captivating
and finds a ready purchaser at an ad-
vanced price.-Chicago Tribune.

ing with the Commercial Club COM
mittee, Geo. Senour, A. T. Crowl and
F. D. Hevener. Some of the aldermen
did not want to do anything in this
direction if it was likely to increase the
expenses of the city. Other aldermen
saw the need of something along these
lines. Mr.. Senour was present but he
said that the ladies in all probability
were waiting for an invitation to attend
and present the matter from their stand
point. He pointed out the fact that
nothing was being done to abate nui-
sances that existed in many parts of
the city and he urged the necessity of
looking into the matter and providing a
remedy. It was finally decided to take
up the matter with the ladies at a
subsequent date.
Pat Mckinley and S. L. Carroll were
present Thursday night to see what had
become of the report on moving the
Mandan elevator They were informed
by Mayor Frye that the N. P. Ry. of
necessity caused the removal of said
structure, but it was not moved from
one lot to another and therefore was not
considered in conflict with any ordi-

caught sight Of the stranger, who had

"Here, thank God, Is some one who
can prove my innocencew cried the
prisoner, pointing to the stranger, who
was aghast at becoming the center of

He seemed astonished and shook his
head.
"Oh, yes" cried the accused; "just

CRITICISEs EXCHANGES

In his report on Cotton Ex-
changes, submitted to the presi-
dent Monday, Commissioner of
Corporations Herbert Knox
Smith condemns future dealing
as at present carried on in both
New York and New Orleans, but
especially finds fault with the
New York body.
The report, while recognizing
that the exchanges in New Or
leans and New York are necessa-
ry, does not mince words in criti-
cising the New York Exchange.
After declaring that the New Or
leans methods of conducting the
transactions in cotton followed
natural lines, the report draws at
tention to the fact that it has been
proved that the abnormal de-
pressions in the future price in
New York were almost wholly
due to improper artificial condi-
tons now maintained by the New
York Cotton Exchange. By
maintaining them the New York
Exchange is responsible for very
real injury to the producer and
merchant" j"
In closing the letter to President
Taft, which accompanied his re-
port, Commissioner Smith again
takes occasion TO reprove the
New York Cotton Exchange. He
says:
after the publication of the
earlier parts OF this report the
New Orleans and New York cot
ton exchanges established special
committees instructed to consider
the systems of their exchanges
and to cooperate therein with the
commissioner of corporations.
Conferences have been held by
the commissioner with both COM
mittees. On the part of New Or
leans this cooperation was very
complete, resulting in certain i'm
portant improvements in the
rules of that exchange. After
more than a years investigation
the committee Of the New York
Exchange has not yet imade any
final report or taken any subse-
quent action.
