Puts 1t Up to the Farmers

Sir Horace Plunkett, president OF
the Irish Agricultural society, now
visiting this country, in an interview
in New York the other day, said:
II believe that the increased cost
of living has been caused primarily
by the failure of farmers to organize
and do their own distributing. They
are beginning to realize that their in
action perhaps has been more the
cause of the higher cost of living than
the monopoly Of industries by trusts.
1.-THE cooperative diaries movement
in Ireland is highly successful. There
are 800 cooperative associations, with
a membership Of about $4,000 produ-
GERS, and their business during the
past year has amounted to approx
mately $4,000, O00"

Steamboats, School Burns

Fire destroyed Steamboats, public
school building last Thursday. The
structure was an old two-story frame,
built over twenty years ago.
In commenting on the fire, which
IL supposed TO hSvs bsen Incendiary,
the Steamboat Sentinel says:
.'Through the heroic work Of the
firemen, Professor Wigs, some OF
the high school boys and others
many books and valuables were saved.
But the smoke and heat soon ran
them out. The roof was all ablaze
and finally collapsed, doing much
damage to the equipment and to the
upper floor of the building"

for even though you may still have
some of your old cards on hand, 1t

A Prohibitive Price

A report comes in that the govern
ment has raised the price Of coal
lands In the vicinity Of Meeker from
$40 to $50 per acre.
The last figure is almost prohibit
tive, rs none but millionaires could
afford to hold 1t long and pay taxes
at this rate.
A few Meekerites got in before the
raise, among them being the Mont
gomery Land & Cattle company, on
an extension of the well-knOwn Lion
Canon coal mine. Messrs. E. Salmon,
r. Oldland and L. b. Walbridge got
a fine piece of land adjoining town.
With the advent Of the railroad the
coal properties will be worked extern

CINNAMON TREE BARK.
It curls Up Into QuiIls When Dried In
the Sun.

1t Curis Up Into QuillS When Dried In
the Sun.
The cinnamon tree grows to a height
of from twenty to thirty feet and is
sometimes eighteen inches in thick
ness. The leaves are from four to six
inches in length, oval shaped and
marked with three principal nerves.
They taste very much like cloves.
Cinnamon flowers are of a beautiful
silky gray on the outside and light
yellow on the inside. The fruit is a
small acorn shaped drupe, and when
ripe it is quite brown.
1t is, however. the bark of the CHINA
mon tree that makes 1T valuable. The
finest comes from the island Of Cey-
lon. where they have two seasons of
cinnamon harvest. The first season
begins in April and the last in Novem-
Der The branches of three to five
years growth are cut down, and the
eptdermis is carefully scraped away.
Then the bark is ripped up lengthwise
with a knife and gradually loosened
until it may be easily removed.
The slices of bark are then placed in
the sun to dry. and as they dry they
curl up into quilts The next thing is
to examine and arrange the cinnamon
according TO its quality. The persons
whose work it is to examine the CHINA
mon are obliged for this purpose to
taste and chew it, although in a short
time it produces a very painful effect
on their mouths and tongues.
AS the cinnamon quilts are examined
the smaller ones are inserted into the
larger. and the whole is then tied up in
bundles weighing about lightweight
pounds each.
In CeyIon the oil of cinnamon is usu-
ally prepared by grinding the coarsest
pieces of bark. soaking this powder
in sea water for two or three days and
then distilIing. Two oils pass over, one
lighter, the other heavier, than water.
