LARGEST ICE CAVES FOUND.
PsriIous Exploration Taken Throus"
Austrian Marvels.

What is believed to be the most e4-
tensive series of ice caves in the worlo
has just been scientifically explored.
The caves are situated in Austria, near
Obertraun, close to the Lake of HAN
staff, and the work of exploration ocV
cupied in all over twenty-seven hours
much of the journey being of an e&'
tremely perilous nature. ,
After difficult entrance through
narrow opening the explorers found
vast range of caves extending conslu'
erably over a mile. with many slde
turnings and minor branches. Flrs'
they arrived in two churchlike mans
separated by an ice shaft thirty yarus
wide and thirty-fve yards deep, WHICH
had to be crossed by means OF rope
ladders, and in the second hall they
found wonderful glacier about a nun
dred yards in length. Farther on naiis
were found without ice, but covere'
with stalactiform marvels.

Corn & Co.

The firm of "Corn & Co." is fast
becoming a dominant factor IN the
progressive agriculture OF the North
west. Great as may be the value OF
Corn, considered apart from
its farm relationships, its highest
Importance comes from the fact
that, above all other products, It
enters most readily into partnership
with other agencies for the promotion
of agricultural prosperity.
A study of the minnesota Far
mers' Institute Annual" for 1910, just
issued, shows how Corn adapts itselfs
among Other things, to the following
'usefulnesses:'
l. The cultivation necessary for It,,
profitable growing destroys the weeds,
and leaves the ground in fine condition
for almost any other crop in rota-
ton.
2. Ground on which corn has been
grown does not need blowing, the next
spring, to fit it for wheat or any other
grain crop
| 3. 1t enters the home as leading
staple in the farmers bill Of fare.
4. In association with pasturage, it
is practically an all-sufficient feed for
fattening beeves. A herd fed on bum
die corn needs nothing else, from the
time VIII n it enters the feed-iot until it
is shipped for slaughter -
5. Corn is the backbone of porkpro-
duction. Pasturage and Corn, in
partnership, will produce pork more
economically than any other feeds.
6. Turn the hog into the corn field,
and he will save the wages of a har'
vester, while feeding himself, aud will
get more out of the crop than if the
corn is fed to him on the feedingfloor,
with better results to the farmer.
| !. Corn, since it invites its own
consumption on the farm, is more
profitable than it's sale on the market,
stands in the front rank as conser'
vator of the wealth of the soil. So, ir

COTTON FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
British Colonists Push Movement For
Its installation.

Its installation.
The agitation in favor Of cotton
growing in certain British colonies
seems to be taking more definite
shape. An agreement has just been
concluded between the British Cotton
Growing association and the British
South Africa company affecting the
development of cotton growing IN
northern Rhodesia.
White planters who have tried cot.
ton growing there have in the main
had little to show for their efforts.
Now it is proposed to establish q
training farm of 200 acres somewhere
along the railroad between Living
stone and Broken Hill, in charge OF
an expert, to advise farmers how to
select and till the land.
What little cotton has been pro-
duced in Rhodesia is said to be OF a
very desirable quality and has gener-
ally brought about cents a pound
more than the middling American
grade.
In Cape Colony, too. movement
is on foot for the enc ouragemert OF
cotton growing along the coast line IN
the border district Of the Karroo.

allied to the farm, for which it is diff.
cult to find sufficient room in the cities.
Add to this the superior healthfulness
the purer democracy, and the more
wholesome social atmosphere which
surrounds the country as compared
with the city school, and the greater
attractiveness of the former is mani
fest. The probability is that ere long,
when the consolidated schools shall
have s'come to their own" in develop
ment, city people will covet their adj
vantages for their children, as coun-
try folks have heretofore coveted
those of city schools. Here is another
influence added to those which are to
reverse the humal current which has
deem setting from country to city.
That the best results may be reach
ed, and at the earliest moment, it is
important that there should be no
division or 'scatteration" of effort By
taking up movements which, while they
parallel the consolidated school idea
are non-essential as separate pro-
position, and which will weaken the
resources which, for the present, are
needed to make that idea effective.
Among these parallel movements is
the "Country Life Hall' proposition
now being exploited in the vicinity OF
Spokane and elswhere. This looks at
the erection, in every consolidated
school district, Of a "Country Life
Hall' for use of the farmers in social
gatherings, for meetings OF the Grange
Garmers' Unions, etc.; and to be used
also as the Office OF salarled
"Country Life" secretary.
Il would seem that a room in the
consolidated school building, used
out of school hours, could be easily
made to serve, for the present, the
purposes of the proposed "Hall,'
and that the building of the latter car
very we'll be postponed until the larg
er and more essential work OF tn
school shall have been fully provided

The third assistant postmaster
general, in his annual report to the
head OF department, raises an issue
that will be of interest to all who are
concerned in the econmical manage
ment OF the postofiice department.
Second class mail rates says the
Duluth Herald were devised to spread
intelligence by making newspapers and
periodicals cheap. The public always
has had the full benefit of these low
mail rates. The cheapest thing in the
market today is the newspaper, which
is sold at much less than cost, and is
carried through the mails at one cent
pound, a. lower rate than is charged
for carrying any other commodity.
The cheapness of the newspaper is in
large measure due to these low
postal rates.
Very properly, the postoffice depart
ment uses discrimination in extending
the privilege of the second class rate.
One restriction is that the publication
securing this privilege must have "a
legitimate list of subscribers" and
must not be "designed primarily for
advertising purposes, or for free cir
culation al nominal rates."
What has been botherlng the post
Office department is whether newspapers
which push their sales by giving pre-
miums, holding voting contects, etc.,
really have Legitimate lists of sub
scribers" and really are entitled to
the second class rate. After long
study, the third assistant postmaster
general has come to the conclusion
that list of subscribers that has been
padded by artificial means is not a
Legitimate list of subscribers" and
that congress should take action to
exclude such publications from the
privilege of the second class rate.
Says he in his report, just issued:
1.-THE use of the premium in its various
forms, such as gifts, chances to win
prizes, and articles of value, voting
contests. etc., continues to prove Q
difficult administrative matter In
determining whether a publication
should or should not be regarded as

STATIONERY BILL 100000.
New York a Huge spender For Official
Needs


New York has to pay annually wnat
IS probably the biggest stationery and
printing bill of any municipality. IN
1909 it was over $1.3OO.OOO. New York
prints a daily newspaper of its own,
the City Record. which helps along the
bill somewhat. 1t cost $4,000 to
print the City Record in 1909.
Uncle Sam has his own printing
shops, so that it isn't possible to com.
pare his printing bill with the bill
New York has to settle every year,
because New York has to go out ana
get its printing done like any private
corporation.
Of the big city departments the
finance department runs up the Dig
gest printing and stationery bill.
Last year it was over 100000. When
ever New York decides to get out
bond issue it makes the man who or
ders the stationery groan. Those nice
booking green and gold bonds cost over
dollar apiece, which would mean
5000 for $50, 100000 bond issue.
Probably no private consumer, even
the largest corporations. has anything
like the same number of stationery
forms made to order as the city. Inc
department Of health, for instance,
has no less than 725 different forms TO
be ordered. Other departments have
almost as many.
