Illinois. Idaho and Utah agricul-
tural college chem lists unite in the
declaration that ton Of sagebrush
contains $23 worth of staple chem
ical products, charcoal, distillate, al
oohol, oreosote, etc., which can te
extracted at cost of So per ton. They
make the statement that a railroad is
selling land at $5 an acre. and invit-
ing farmers to come in and clear the
land for raising alfalfa. This land
already has 25 tons of sagebrush to
the acre, which can be handled at
clear profit of $40 ton. Thus every
acre of sagebrush, in their opinion. is
worth $500 From their basis of es-
timation sagebrush is worth more than
the alfalfa. yet settlers pay $3 an acre
to clear it up and burn the sagebrurb,
instead of extracting the values, On
lines of this valuation, sagebrush is
worth more than all the mines in the
West and would pay profit of more
than per cent on the Investment

The writer heard it remarked the
other day that the young folks of the
present do not have the fun the young
people used to twenty and thirty years
ago. that those of today do not stir
about and skate aud coast in winter,
and take part in other games at
proper seasons Of the year as enthu-
siastioally as the young people did a
generation ago. We have noticed
what appears to us to be the same
tendency, but on reflection, the rea'
son is easily apparent. In the early
days st. Nicholas, Godey's Ladies'
Book and ScIibners were about the
ouly magazines published and there
Icing dearth of good Literature the
family flreside was deserted by the
youngsters when evening came in
pursuit of interest and entertainment
elsewhere. With the dozens of good
magazihes now at hand, the American
flerside has become literatuliaed to a
great extent and the general house
hold have necessarily become readers
instead of players and fun seekers.
This more than ANYTHING else has
taken the young from the old-fash-
ioned modes of entertainment and
time.killing pursuits. The automo-
bile too, has its niche in the mode OF
modern pastime.
