Clark wins wrestling match

One OF the most sensational features
of the fair was the wrestling match.
Some two hundred fans witnessed the
defeat of Miller by the X. G. lad. Clark
was outweighed by fifteen pounds, but
seemed to be master OF the situation by
his clever tactics and head work. Mil
Ter was very rough, but was returned in
full by Clark for everything he put out.
1t is said to have been the fastest match
ever pulled off in eastern Colorado. Poth
boys were dead game and it was bitter
contest.
Miller won the first fall in 18 minutes
after terrific struggle. In the second
Clark took the Cheyenne boy off his
feet from the start and his shoulders
caressed the canvas in three minutes as
the result OF full-fedged toe hold.
Both men came back strong for the
third fall and it was fast aud furious
with Clark in danger the greater portion
OF the time. Blu: with smile on his
face and slipping out Of bad holds he
finally, by some fast tmaneuvering, worked
Miller into reverse nelson and body
lock which he was rot able to break and
pinned him in IA minutes.
Itis hoped that these two boys will
be rematched soon.
McKissic was highly praised for his
brilliant work as the third man in the
ring.

Postal SAVINGS Banks.

The first months operations of the
postal savings banks are very satisfac-
tory to the government officials. Post
master General Hitchcock announces
that the total deposits amount approx
imately to 100000, and that this aver
age continued throughout the year will
make an aggregate of S750.000. The
amount thus far received exceeds the
average per month for the best year of
the British system. which has long
been in effect. The postmaster general
thinks the plan can be extended, and
declares that II he had the requisite
means at his disposal he would open
500 additional banks at once. The Re
publican party favored the establish

ence Of the people and the encourage

MARKET FOR AMERICAN GOODS
Up to Manufacturers to Adapt Them
selves to the Desires Of Their
Foreign Customers.

The reports of our consuls abroad
with singular unanimity advise our ex-
porters to pay particular attention to
the adaptation of our methods OF sale,
of preparation of materials and of
packing them to suit the habits and
customs of the foreign merchants and
meet the demands of their customers
For years 1t has been found that
either lack of knowledge of or inatten-
ton to the wishes of the foreign mer-
chants in these respects has been q
great barrier to the progress of our
export trade; but our manufacturers,
since our closer touch of late years
with Mexico, Cuba and other Spanish
American countries and the freer in.
tercourse with China, Japan and In
dia have improved very much in their
methods.
The money our manufacturers will
receive from Canada, Mexico, Central
and South America, the countries of
Europe, Asia and Africa, Australasia
and the isles of the oceans will all
make for large pay rolls in our own
states and greater prosperity in
every farm house and city home in the
land. Our export trade can be more
than doubled in the next ten years,
and the effect Of that increase will be
to the advantage and benefit Of the
people of every state.
A statement was made few days
ago that a British agency had placed
an order in the United States for s.
900 automobiles. While that was d.
rect benefit to the manufacturers who
received the order, it also contributed
to machinists in New England, to coal
miners in Ohio and Pennsylvania. to
iron ore workers in Minnesota, to
freight carriers on the lakes and upon
the railways, to steel mills in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio to workingmen in In
diana and Michigan, and to longshore-
men on the docks of the Atlantic ports.
When that order is filled 1t brings mil
lions of dollars of foreign cash to be
utilized in the business of this coun-
try.

WILL HELP FARMER
EFFECT OF RECIPROCITY AGREE
MENT WITH CANADA.
Provides Better Market for His Pro-
ductions and Cheapens Price of
Many Things That He Has
to Purchase.

The American farmer may be a little
bewildered at this moment. He is be-
ing assured on one hand that the re-
ciprocity agreement with Canada will
ruin him. Other men, among them
such old and stanch friends as Secre-
tary Wilson, are assuring him that not
only can it do him no harm but that 1t
will be of service to him in that it will
give him a better market for some of
the things he produces and cheaper
the price of some he has to buy. For
tunately, the farmer is in a position to
consider the question spassionately.
He has been doing remarkably we'll for
several years. He is not worrying
where the money is to come from to
pay the interest on his mortgage. He
has paid 1t off and has money In bank.
1t should be an easy matter to con-
vince the average American wheat
grower that the free admission of
Canadian wheat cannot injure and may
benefit him. The price of wheat for the
world is fixed at Liverpool. The price
would not be affected by the free ad-

would simply be a more extensive in
terchange of wheat. American millers
would buy more Canadian hard wheat
for mixing purposes, and Canadian
millers would buy more American soft
wheat. Last year Canada took a mil
lion dollars worth Of wheat of the Uni
ted States. But for the Canadian duty,
which it is proposed to repeal more
would have been taken.
The reciprocal removal of duties
would make broader and steadier
market for both countries. There
would be no more attempts to run a
wheat corner in Chicago. The most
daring 3peculator would regard it as
too desperate an undertaking when he
had the Canadian supply to reckon
with While the price of wheat would
be steadied the value of farm lands
would not be affected.-Chicago Trib-

The Angora goat is not afraid 81
dogs and can protect itself well against
their attacks. They are fond of but.
ting each other in play, but l never
saw one attempt to fight other stock.
1t requires some kind of fence to
keep the goat in which he cannot
stand on the top of or climb up. The
best fence for Angora goats is the
woven wire fence. This fence need
not be over 40 or AZ inches high The
fence must be close to the ground, so
they cannot crawl under When their
hair is long enough to protect them
goats will often crawl through a
barbed wire fence, If the wires are not
very close or the posts close together
with the wires we'll stretched. Goats
will not jump over any fence, they
want to climb up, and then they will
jump down, or they will jump up on
top Of the fence and then down: but
they never jump over a fence like a
mule or steer.

My experience with the Angora
goat for the past five years has
proved that one goat to the acre will
keep the briars, weeds and bushes com

sumac and similar growths, writes Ru-
fus Lester of Wayne county W. Va,

same time, the land will yield as much
pasture for horses, cattle, hogs or
sheep as it would If the goats were not
on it. All kinds of stock seem to do

goats.
For the goat to be of best service
the underbrush should be cut out or
fire should run through the woods. so
as to kill the small timber The large
timber should be girdled so as to kill
1t, and the goats will then keep the
sprouts down until the roots of the
timber die out and blue grass will sod

FRUIT TREE
PLANTING POINTS
Should be Placed An Ground While
Dormant In Well Drained Soil
With Hole Large Enough
to Spread Roots.

(By PROF. JOHN w. LLOYD, Illinois
Farmers Institute)
l. When to plant fruit trees: While
they are dormant; while the ground Is
in workable condition; late in the
fall after growth has stopped. or
early in the spring before 1t has be-
gun.
2. Where? In well-drained soil
g. How? Dig an ample hole; spread
the roots out in their natural position
and pack fine earth around them. 1t is
handy to separate the clods from the
fine soil in digging.
There is always a balance between
the roots and branches of a tree, so if
many roots have been cut off In dig
ging the tree from the nursery, a cor
responding amount of the top must
come off. If trees ere planted in the
fall some precaution should be made
against their being heaved out of the
ground by alternate freezing md thaw-
ing This can be done by spreading
a thick layer of straw or manure
around the tree.
There are four essential points in
the care of fruit trees. They are: l..
Tillage. 2. Fertilization. 8. Pruning.
4. Protection from enemies.
Tillage is just as necessary in tree
raising as in corn raising, and for the
same reasons: To avoid the competi-
ton of other plants, to conserve mois-
ture and to render plant food avail
able.
Intelligent pruning is also very nee
essary to raising fruit Each bud on
tree is capable of giving rise to a
branch, and if every branch is allowed
to grow the tree will become too
dense We must thin out the branches
in the tree tops or we will have little
fruit. 1t takes moisture to develop an
apple and sunlight to color it: so the
foliage must not be too thick. Pruning
is also employed to make the tree as
sumo the desired shape. 1t should
also distribute the large branches equi-
distantly, as nearly as possible. 1t Is

Future viii Decide.

There has been mere or less com
ment, humorous and otherwise, regard
ing Guam, that little island far off in
the Pacific which as result of the
war with Spain became i possession or
the United States. But according to
facts brought out in discussion in the
house of representatives Guam may
have important possibilities as a pro
ducer of potash, nitrates and other fer
tilizers essential to the farming indus
try of this country. Nobody thought
much of Alaska when Mr.. Seward
bought it, and look at what has been
produced there! Guam is not as big as
Alaska, yet who knows but it will turn
out relatively as valuable?

Best Lubricant for Machinery.

Where the pressure is heavy the
lubricant should be thick in order to
resist being squeezed out under the
load For light pressures oil should
be used. Thus for a wagon heavy
grease is best, while for a cream sep
arator of high speed a thin oil is
necessary in order that it's viscosity
will not add to the friction. Solid
substances in a finely divided state,
such as graphite, are often used ef-
fectively to reduce friction This is

Democratic Discontinue.

The way of the aspiring Democrat
who wants a chance at the nomination
for president is not easy these days.
An Ohio organization of men calling
themselves progressive Democrats has
started in to oppose the selection of
Governor Harmon as the presidential
candidate. This bacnfire in his own
state must be dlscomfiting to the Ohio
executive. And the situation becomes
still more complicated with William j.
Bryan squirting quite strongly in the
direction Of Governor Wilson of New
Jersey.

always best to grow a good strong
branch on the southwest side of the
| tree, where the hot suns and strong
winds come from.
In pruning, we should cut the limb
in such way that 1t will heal quickly.
To do this the limb should always be
cut as close to the body as possible,
and parallel with It. A saw should be
used, and the wound must be coated
over with white paint or something
similar, to prevent weathering and In.
fection from bacteria or fungus
growths. Another important thing is
to keep trimming off the ends of the
limbs on young trees.
There are three kinds of enemies
that trees must be protected from.
The first of these includes rabbits,
mice, ETC. A tall piece of heavy paper
tied around the base of the young tree,
or i piece of wire screening will set
tie this matter. The second class of
enemies contains the insects, of which
the scale insects are the most danger
Gus. The scale insect can be controlled
by spraying with a lime-sulphur wash
and the chewing insects by spraying
with paris green. The third class of
enemies consists of fungus diseases.
These can be controlled by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture, which is COM
posed as follows: Four pounds copper
sulphate, four pounds lime, so pounds
water.

Prcper Handling of Tariff.

proposition, practically taking it out of

Earmera VIII Be GaInere.

Here and there, now and then. an
individual farmer WILL make a little
less, because OF reciprocity, but the
farmers taken as whole would be
gamers as producers. They would get
no less for any Of their crops; they
would get more for some. Now, how
would they stand as consumers? The
farmers are consumers Of lumber and
shingles. The reciprocity agreement
would cheaper both of them. They
have been complaining of the high cost
of those articles for some years. Now
is the time to bring down the price.

Indorse Presidents Policy.

President Taft's journey west was a
triumphal procession, not merely for
himself as president of the nation but
for that principle with which he is now
so closely identified and which he is
putting into active form-reciprocity
with Canada. The president was justi-
flably delighted to find that the people
were ready for this reciprocal relation
with Canada, and his brief trip
strengthened reciprocity not only in
the states which he visited, and as a
reflection therefrom throughout the
country, but in a very practical way
by having its inflence upon the action
of congress.

Whatever happens-extra session or
no extra session Of congress-this IS
going to be tariff year in these Uni
ted States of America.
If the pact with Canada fails at this
session and an extra session is called
to consider it, that will mean at least
protracted and spirited controversy.
In way, that instrument has increased
interest in the whole tariff question. II
has quickened the national pulse. Both
Democrats and Republicans are seeing
things little more broadly and init
mately than ever before. Here is re-
ciprocity In a form that he who runs
may read. The proposition Is definite
and easily understood. II we want a
larger market right at our door, here Is

cussion in the press and on the stump
meanwhile. Governor Foss of Massa-
chusetts in particular should welcome
1t. He claimed his election to congress
year ago and his election to the gov
ernorship in November on the score OF
his advocacy of reciprocity with Cana
da; and next November Massachusetts
holds another state election.
Moreover, the pact is certain to grow
In interest abroad, not only in Great
Britain, but on the continent, and when
It's full significance has been appraised
there, what is said by the foreign press
