true since the present king has been
at the head of the industry. Previous
ly it demanded a very Door price
often selling as low as $3.50 per bar
rel. This energetic, at that time
young, monarch decided to make an
outlet for it. He secured a list Of all
the u makers and flooded the
country with circulars telling of the
rare flavor of the st. Louis product
Then he advertised in the trade pa.
pers and sat back to await returns.
He was not idle long. From all parts
OF the country requests came for sam
pies. These were sent and the orders
began to arrive. That was many years
ago, and they are still coming.
1t is almost impossible to keep
h~orse-radish any length of time after
1t has been grated. During the sum.
mer, whether in a refrigerator or on
ice, 1t will not keep longer than a
week without fermentation setting in.
During the winter months 1t is DOS,
sible to keep the prepared PRODUCT for
two months, but wen then 1t is neces.
sary to keep 1t in a cold, dark room.
When 1t ferments it takes on a yellow
tinge and is tasteless and unpalatable.
A large preserver, who is one of the
horse-radish kings best customers, is
reputed to have offered $1,000, 900 to
anyone who can devise a. means of
preserving it indefinitely. Many at.
tempts have been made to find a for.
mula, but thus far all have failed.
In order to fill all orders, in the
warehouse of the firm are stored about
1000 barrels of roots. Each holds 100
pounds of the root. When prepared it
will make 100000 bottles Of the relish.
The cultivation Of ~horse-radish re.
quires much labor. 1t is" necessary to
losen the roots two or three times in
a season to get good results. The off,
shoots are removed and the earth
pressed to n side to give the stalk
a chance to expand. The root when
matured Is no longer than the original
shoot planted. 1t differs from most
vegetables in that it grows from the
center out, instead of up and down.
1t is a plant that requires much nour.
ishment and the crops have to be al.
ternated every year. 1t is set out in
rows three feet apart, and the stalks
are about eighteen inches apart.
The horse-radish king, though he
has made money and is now 43 ear
old, still pays strict attention to bust
ness. In the busy season he is at
work in the gray of the dawn looking
over the loads of the farmers and
contracting for the purchase of the
remainder of their crops.
He carries his honors easily as the
head of the horse-radish market. and
declares that in the course of a few
years it is his intention to turn over
his scepter to another. He thinks that
horse-radish has a great future before
1t, and once the discovery is made of
a means of keeping it, 1t will be used
more than any other condiment.

ST. LOUIS MAN CONTROLS OUT.
PUT IN UNITED STATES.

Must Rely on James A. Daeey
for ReIish-ls Still a
Young Man.

st. Louis.-This city can boast many
distinctions, but none more novel than
being the domicile of the "Horse-Rad-
ish King" More horse-radish is
shipped from this city than all the
other markets for the relish COM
bined.
The nan who controls the output in
the United States, and who in it's sale
has atnassed a fortune, is James A.
Dacey. With all due formality, he has
been vested with the tufted crown of
green radish tops, as BELTS one of such
importance in the vegetable kingdom.
His storehouses hold hundreds of bar
rels of the roots, and during the busy
season he ships a carload a day. Con-
noisseurs from Portland, Me-, to Los
Angeles and from Winnipeg to Ell
Paso, have to rely upon him for the
snappy relish.
The title of ~horse-radish king is
hereditary in his family. His father
before him was in the produce bust
ness and he, too, handled much Of
the strange vegetable. The son, how
ever, realized the possibilities pre-
sented by encouraging its growth
among the truck gardeners and to,

loaded with the earth-smelfing roots

Where Apple Brandy is Made.

Apple brandy" said T. j. Batman,
lis n Of the most peculiar of drinks.
It Is made in but few sections Of this
country, and Meade county, Kentucky,
produces as much usually as any
other section, with the possible excep,
tion of California. Most of the brandy
for this locality came from there this
year, but the apples had to be shipped
from New York. The production is
about one gallon to each three bushels
of apples.
1T may strike you as strange that
the same quantity of apples will not
produce the same quantity of brandy
each year. Some years the apples are
deficient in sugar, and the amount Of
sugar determines the quantity and
quality Of the brandy. A distiller may
have an especially fine crop Of brandy
one year, while the following year the
same distiller will get an inferior crop
Of brandy from the same orchard.'--

WESTERN GAHADA'S SPLENDID
CROP YIELD FOR 1903.
AMERICANS PRoFITED LARGELY
AND SEND BACK sATlsFAc-
TORY REPORTS.

The census branch of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada,
has completed its returns of the show
ing of Western Canada's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield of about 107, 900, 900
bushels, worth to the farmer about
$S5,000 900; in addition to this the oat,
barley and fax crops were worth an
other $35, 10000. Letters have been
received from many of the settlers
from the United States. From these,
that of Rev. Oscar l.. King has been
selected. He lives in the vicinity of
Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says
will be of interest to those who con-
template moving to Central Canada.
Every line of the letter is interesting.
Those who wish for the particulars as
to how to secure homesteads and pre-
emptions should write any Canadian
Government agent. Mr.. King says:
Mr.. M. V. M~cInnnes, Detroit, Mich
igan: l am well satisfied with AL
berta. This country offers excellent
opportunities for anyone to make a
good home for himself and family
If he is willing to put up with a few
hard knocks for the first two or three
years. But it is worth a few hard
knocks to get a 160-acre farm of rich,
productive land with no mortgage on
it. This province is well fitted for
grains, stock raising and dairying. We
ave found the climate generally
lealthful, more healthful than Mich
gan, and although the thermometer
sometimes drops to 40 degrees below
zero in winter, yet we do not seem to
eel that temperature any more than
We did 5 or 10 degrees below zero in
Michigan. We like the winters.
THE Government takes great inter-
Est in the education of the people and
quickly aids the settlers in establish
ng schools where they are called for.
Liz oShoOlS, tuOuSu StduSU ullSI6uIly
han those in the States, are efficient
and advancing. Our great drawback
las been the limited and inadequate
'ailway facilities, but new roads are
)eing rapidly built and many more
Ire projected through various parts
If the province. The new policy of
he Alberta government to construct
great many branch lines throughout
he province will greatly help all parts
Vt the country. If those new settlers
who have to go back a considerable
distance from existing railroads and
owns to find free homesteads will
out locate along the line of a project
ID railroad they will in two or three
years be lear both town and railroad.
When l first came to this country
.hree and a half years ago the home
stead l took was rs miles from a rail
'oad town; now there is a railroad rs
niles north, another 25 miles south,
md a third is being built through my
leighborhood.
Il think the prairie country or coun-
:ry that is partly prairie offers much
better opportunities than the billy
portions"

The Story of Samantha
Ann and Eliza Alice
BY HIRAM RICE

The scheduled time for the arrivals
Of Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice
were so near the same that the stork
took the liberty of running a double
header, thus saving himself an extra
trip.
Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice cut
their teeth at the same time, so their
mothers had little opportunity to hang
over the backyard fence and COM
pare notes; but when the mud pie
period arrived they made up for lost
time. The first GOODNESS became no
ticeable during the Sunday school
epoch. Each mother endeavored to
dress her offspring better than the
other, and it was remarked by the
neighbors that Samantha Ann was
a regular little lady, while Eliza AL
ice would go home with one stocking
down and the other at half mast, her
pig tail ribbons streaming, and a tear
in the new dimity gown that her
mother had worked on till nearly mid
night to have ready for Sunday.
BY the time the school period had
come there was a trail of white frost
along the top of the backyard fence
between the Smith and Jones lots.
Samantha Ann was developing into
a pretty little girl, while Eliza Alice
was going the other way as fast as
she could. She had enough red hair
TO stuff a mattress, a %turned-up nose
and 80 freckles to each square inch
of facial epidermis
A sudden change came over Eliza
Alice when she was about IA. The
clerk in the village store reported
to his wife that she had bought a
pair of ~corsets, and her next new
dress was ankle length. She began to
talk to the other girls about her
figure, put her hair up, and tease her
father for money to buy freckle re-
moving dope.
No one could remember when she
had her first beau, because she was
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1909-03-04

philandering around so much with the
boys in a way that might or might not
count; but everybody recalled that
both girls were 16 when Eliza Alice
engineered Samantha Ann out of the
church choir after hearing someone re-
mark that Samantha Ann was the bet
ter singer. OF course that stirred I'D
an awful rumpus, and the congrega-
ton took sides on the matter which
resulted In the preacher handing in
his resignation.
The next one they hired was a
young man just out of college. He
was unmarried, and the church trus.
tees reasoned that If he called on
Eliza Alice oftener than was neces-
sary to make up a schedule Of the
music for the next Sunday they could
call in a justice of the peace, or some
other hitching artist, to make them
one, and thus avoid the talk that al
ways hurts the church in the eyes of
some.
The young preacher didn't cotton
to Eliza Alice-at first. Samantha Ann
had just realized that she was a young
lady, and when her mother first ar
rayed her as such she was a dream
of innocence, beauty, Powered organ
die and a strand of ive-cent glass
beads. The young man escorted her
home one evening from prayer meet
ing and sat out on the front porch
talking to her for over an hour. The
next day all the town was talking
about what a fine couple they would
make-all but Eliza Alice; she pulled
Pa Jones leg for the price of a brand
new outfit, and for the next few days
the hum of the sewing machine was
heard in the Jones home.
The next time the preacher called
at the Jones mansion to leave the slip
containing the numbers of the hymns
for the following Sunday, Eliza Alice
met him at the door, took his hat and
hung lit up beside dads in the hall,
seated him in the easiest chair and
played rag time on the piano until he
began to drum with his fingers on the
arm of his chair, after which she
switched to dreamy love songs. In
this manner she got him keyed up Just
right to land on the sofa, and then
brought out the family album as an
excuse to get up real close together
and occasionally touch his hand with
hers; in about umpsteen minutes she
had him under perfect control, and he
began to wonder If two could live on
his salary.
From that time on SAMANTHA Ann
was in the discard; she was a sort of
sedate sister anyway, while Eliza
Alice was just as previous as she
found necessary. If the young man
should happen to look at any other
gum masticator Eliza Alice would
throw him q glance that would bring
him to the low stool beside the throne.
Well, the people thought 1t would be
q good thing If she did marry him; 1t
might cause her to take a reef In her
sails-but they didn't know Eliza AL
ice as we'll as she knew herself. She
was only dallying with the gospel ex-
FOUNDER because she knew Samantha
Ann would like to- have him, and also
because he was the only thing in
sight.
