TO Be 10 STOPS
ON The R. |. S.
Map Being Prepared by Engin-
eer Shows Stations Along
the Interurban.
TOTAL LENGTH sos MILES
Cars Expected to Make Run
in Two Hours, Locals Will Be
Somewhat Slower.

According to a map being drawn
by Engineer Ralph Ferguson of the
Rock Island Southern, there are to
be 13 stations on the line between
Rock Island and Monmouth, these
average between two and three miles
apart. While the stations have been
definitely located, the distances have
not been checked over yet to rearn
if they are exactly correct, although
they are near enough for common
use.
The total distance between ter
minals is SOB miles, and the total
length of the line from Galesburg
to the tri-cities will be 68.4 miles
when the new line is completed. The
stations planned by the company will
be supplied with a waiting room,
while at several of them there will
be larger offices in which an agent
will be placed to sell tickets and take
care of the freight business.
MatherviIIe Big Town.
The principal town along the line
will be Matherville, the new coal
town north of Gilchrist, where there
is already an office. 1t is probable
that the Office at what is now known
as Monmouth junction, although this
name is not to be permanent, and
those at Reynolds and Milan will be
more pretentious than those in the
country.
The first station north of Mon
mouth will be known as Cedar Hill.
The first stop out of Rock Island will
be Milan. The local cars of the road
will stop at all of the stations, while
the limited cars which will make the
fast runs between the terminals, will
cut out all but one or two of the in
termediate stations in order to make
the time between the cities as short
as possible.
It is expected that the limited cars
will make the run in less than two
hours, while the of course the local
cars, making all the stops, will con-
sumo a greater length of time.
The list of stations laid out on the
map and their respective distances
from Monmouth north follows:
Cedar Hill, miles.
Springdale, 81 miles.
Shaw, 10.6 miles.
Norwood, 1875 miles.
Suez, 14.S miles.
Hazelton, 17.3 miles.
Gilchrist, 21.S miles.
Matherville, 25.2 miles.

Holland is often called the cows
paradise. and it well deserves the
name There is little grain farming or
mixed husbandry and almost no stock
except dairy cattle. Dairying is the
principal occupation. The land is worth
from $500 to $1,000 an acre, yet the
people of Holland pay their rents or
interest on the investment by produc-
ing butter and cheese which they place
on the European markets in success
full competition with that produced in
America on land of less than one-fifth
the value The secret is: Efficient
cows. excellent care, cooperation, and
superior quality of butter and cheese.
On 6O-acre farm the live stock will
usually consist of about % cows, 8
heifers, 30 sheep, Is pigs, and one or
two horses. About "a acres is mead
ow and the rest pasture. as dairying is
on a strictly grass basis. Few fields
are larger than five acres, and the
COWS are frequently changed from one
pasture to another, so that the grass
may be renewed.
ThreefOId Selection of Cows.
Only few of the choicest bulls are
kept for sires. and the greatest care is
also exercised in selecting females.
The COWS are selected by threefold
method: First, in the sire; second. in
the young calf. judged largely by the
milking qualities of the dam; and last
ly, the greatest of all tests is applied
performance at pail. Not till the
COW answers this satisfactorily is it
accorded a permanent place in the
dairy.
Mr.. Kuperus has an exceptionally
fine herd of red and white Holstein-
Friesians and keeps careful record
of each COW in the herd by testing the
milk every two weeks. The average
yield of 80 of his best COWS for one
year was 1925 pounds of milk and
394 pounds of butterfat The average

the standard in most of the railroad
shops in the country. No increase or
decrease is looked for.
Forty-two of the now 1900 class

 prefix 'Lucky' might well have been changed to Unuchy" The tide
 turned and misfortunes crowded the old man. The Baldwin Hotel burned to the. ground. the famous racing

 oVers seventy years of age, Lucky
 Baldwin turned to the far North. The klondike rush was on. He thought
 to win another fortune in a new land.
 In 1899, at the age of seventy-o he set sail for Cape Nome in Alaska. He found that the young men were there before him; his expedition was a dis nal failure. He returned to Califor- nia, sold the site of the Baldwin Hotel for comfortable sum over the mort gage and came to Santa Anita, there to spend his remaining days in peace.
 He made one last attempt to rc-es tablish himself on the turf, sending Cruzados East to win the American Derby. The colt was injured few days before the race was run and was unable to start. This caused Mr. Baldwin to announce his permanent retirement from the turf, but he changed his mind and when winter racing came to Los Angeles the Bald win colors were often seen on the
