1t is hoped that Redwood County
will begin to produce more and more
of its own feeders and Judging from
the display at the County Fair OF the
beef type of cattle, of just few breed
ers in and near Redwood Falls, it
would seem that this transition is fast
taking place. John Stevenson exhib-
tied probably the finest herd Of Pole
Angus cattle in the state, Chas. Sasse
of Morgan and August Seebeck of
Redwood Falls exhibited choice herds
of Herefords. Among the exhibitors
of the very best class of Shorthorns
can be mentioned Thos. Dennastoun,
ST., and Malcolm Dennistoun, Peter
Mckay, and Dougal Tiffany, and fin
er barn of beef cattle could not be seen
at our largest State Fairs.

Dairy Interests Progressing

Dairy Interests Progressing
The dairy interests of Redwood
County are also on progressive lines.
There are few registered Guernseys
and Jersey sires in the county, but the
favorite of the dairy cattle seems to be
the, Holstein, and there are several
hundred registered Holstein sires and
The dairymen of course, cannot get
along without the silo, and they are
also very active in getting alfalfa
started in small way, realizing the
necessity of having the very best feeds
for the production of milk.
Land Values Active
The. activity in live stock lines is in
dicative of the activity in land values,
and they seem to go hand IN hand. 1t
is very apparent to land buyers from
the famous corn belts of Indiana, Hi
nois and Iowa of the profit to be OBJ
tanned i'm Redwood County under pres
ent conditions. AS result it is safe
to say that 5000 acres of land have
changed hands IN Redwood County the
, past 60 days at prices ranging close
up to $4,000 per acre. The highest
price, for a large tract was $4,000 per
acre for 240 acres. This was three
miles. out Of Redwood Falls.
To, get an idea Of the fast increase
in new wealth in Redwood County, it is
conservative to estimate the gross crop
per acre for 1912 at $12.50, and the
sames for 1913 This would be total
gross income of new wealth Of crop
returns alone for two years at $500
per acre. As Redwood County con-
tains Hz2,O52 acres, this would be a
gross yield of $14, 301 10000. A fair
statement of the increase in land val
ues the past two years would be $4,000
per, acre, or $11 AL, $4,000, making q
total gross new value in Redwood
County far two years Of over 25,000,-
100000. The County Assessors books
show 30,820 head of cattle, of which
| Ia, roo are cows. So we think we are
safe.im the statement that the produc-
ton Of live stock is only in its infancy,
and Redwood County alone, with its
marvellous prosperity, viii help to keep

WHEREIN SHE WAS LACKING
chlId's Failure to Perform Feat Left
Her Discounted, but by No
Means Discouraged.

One reason for the refreshing quail,
ity of childish companionship lies in
the simplicity and naivete of the child
ish standpoint Naturally logical, the
normal child makes no effort in this
direction, but, being honest enough to
admit facts as they happen to be, at
tains. sometimes, surprising conclu-
sions and results.
Little Olive, for example, had read
about Christ walking upon the water
She decided to do the same, and,
calm in her assured confidence, in

to witness her triumph. Olive herself
was DESTROYS Of making the attempt
in deep water, but by more practical
comrade was persuaded at least to be

The test proved unsuccessful. Again
and again the child-perplexed and
troubled by jeers of the other chill

water, only to find herself sinking
At last, the laughter Of her audience
overcoming her own inclinations, she

COCHIN is FAvoRITE BREED
Four Varieties, Each Having Single
Combs and Differing Only in
Point of Plumage Color.

The question is frequently asked
what is the best breed of chickens
The answer depends entirely upon
what purpose you wish them for, and
can be answered best by yourself
The larger birds are intended as a
combination fowl, l. O., to produce
both eggs and meat in desirable guam
titles, while the smaller and more &C
tive breeds are considered the egg
machines, and many breeders of them
claim excellent table qualities for
them, which no doubt they possess
the only objection being their small
size.
The Cochin is an old and popular
breed and has four varieties, each
having single combs, and differing
only in point of plumage color, which
is; Buff partridge. black and white,
the buff being the preference. Their
weights are: Cocks, II pounds; cock
erels, 8; hens, 81; pullets, Z.

says the London (Eng.) Post. By the
charges act of 1907 the charge Is
per cent. upon the assessable value OF
premises, and bears no relation to
the quantity of water used, unless the
consumption is for trade purposes,
when an additional meter charge is
made. This increasing demand made
on the water-bearing strata has, so
far, made no appreciable difference in
the water level, although it was
prophesied that 1t would. Satisfactory
analyses are stated to have been made
of the quality of the water drawn. The
wells are increasing, all new buildings
over a certain annual value having
them in the specification.

SHORTHAND PUT TO TEST
Missionary Is by That Means instill-
ing Bible Truths Into Indians Of
British Columbia.

Wonderful things are happening in
the remote corners of the world, and
not the least of these is the mastery
of a system of shorthand by more
than 1000 Indians in British Column
bia, 800 miles northeast of Victoria.
Some years ago priest named LIE
Jeune from Brittany, France, went to
that region. He worked out an In
dian vocabulary in shorthand signs,
containing all the words in every day
use among them, and explained the
system to one of the bright Indian
boys, who at once enthusiastically
took to the new talk language" All
this is told in the Churchman. In a
little while about 500 Of the Indians
had mastered the system, and LIE Jeune
was kept busy providing literature
printed in the characters of his sys-
tenn. He transcribed portions Of the
Bible as we'll as other religious books,
and had various parts in the Bible
published in the different languages
spoken by the tribes in that region,
using the shorthand method, and is
now at work on other publications. A
shorthand newspaper, called the Kam-
loops Wanda, is published with news
pertaining to the tribes. Before LIE
Jeune appeared the Indians of the
locality along the Thompson and
Frazer rivers had not written or print
ed language.

lust now there is fad for neck
J pieces made Of net or net and lace
combined. The sailor collar alone,
or combined with fichu ends and
finished with frills is "going" like a
tornado. They are dainty and easily
made-or, when bought ready made,
they cost very little. The net and
lace are so soft that they are easily
adjusted to coat or dress, and that
difficult matter Of fitting he collar
cuts no figure in these pieces.
Plain nets and all the dotted varie-
ties are used for the collar and fichu-
ends. Plain net is used In combina-
ton with figured net and is especial
ly liked in the frills of narrow side
plaitings with which the collars are
finished.
Besides the various nets, all the
light, inexpensive laces are brought
into requisition for these accessories,
and there is no end to the combina-
lions of net and lace in making them.
1t is a matter of the choice one makes
from hundreds OF appropriate pat
terms.
The sailor collar should be made
of the fabric doubled, If very thin
net is chosen. When the sheerest
laces are used, net is posed under
them, to give sufficient body for
shapeliness. In making up firmer
laces this is not necessary. A we'll
fitting pattern should be procured and
the net or lace should be basted to
the pattern until the neck binding 10
sewed on. This keeps the lace from
stretching out Of shape.

A bias fold (double) is used lar
binding the neck. and is a half inch
wide when completed. A strip two
and half inches wide Is needed to
make 1t, since it Is doubled, and a
little allowance is required for turn
ing in and sewing. After the binding
is sewed on the basting stitches are
cut and the pattern removed.
The f1chu ends are made of straight
pieces gathered into binding at the
bottom and into the sailor collar at
the top. Sometimes lace motifs or in
sertions are sewed In the net, which
is cut away under them. Very mar
row finishing braid or cord is often
used to head the plating where 1t is
joined to the collar. But the narrow
est lace insertions are liked best for
this purpose and are stitched over
the net.
A collar of this kind can be made
for fifty cents or less. Nets are wide.
some of them, like point-de-esprit,

the narrow knife plaitings but the
play is worth the candle For plain
