VALUE OF GAS TRACTORS.

Washington, May 14.-The De-
partment of Agriculture has issued a
statement showing what Illinois corn
belt farmers say about their farm
tractors. These experiments show
that two and one-half gallons Of gas
oline and one-fffth of a gallon Of
lubricating oil are ordinarily re-
quired in actual practice to plow one
acre of ground seven inches deep.
The size of the tractors has little in
fuence on these quantities.
1t is also shown that in Illinois
farm tractors do better work on the
whole than horse-drawn plows, and
that the depth plowed by such trac-
tors average one and one-half inches
greater than where horses are used.
Experienced tractor owners do not
consider even a two-plow outfit prof.
liable on a farm Of less than 40
acres. The average size of farm on
which two-plow outfits are used in
Illinois is 270 acres.
The four-plow tractor is most rec
ommended by experienced owners.

The CALL FOR CATTLE.

Long trains of heifers and cows
headed west instead of east, was
something seldom seen in days gone
by; but on all the main lines in Can
ada, and on all our own great con-
tinental lines into Montana, Wyo-
ming and western Dakota. this spring
one sees almost as many cattle head
ed west as east.
The call for cows, heifers, calves
and bulls with which to start small
ranches, stock farms and to fill up
depleted ranches, was never so great
a. it is today, and it has but just be-
gun. ..
There will be a scattered few mis-
led by the exceptional and general
moisture throughout the great dry
West last year, but all old-timers,
and the at-all- l-read-up or experienced
newcomers know that last seasons
moisture was exceptional, and that
general farming on the great dry
plains with Is inches or less mois-
ture, and sometimes none, cannot be
depended upon unless stock of some
kind lends it's frequently much-need-
ed aid.
Intercepting a few punches of west
bound she stuff lately, we were
pleased and little surprised to note
the very good quality of much of 1t.
The young bulls and heifers were OF
especially encouraging quality. or
course there were some cows and
other stuff that never ought to be
shipped anywhere but to the block or
feed yards, but that is. bound to be
the case in nearly all stock move
ments.
We only hope that prices may be
kept in bounds, and that people will
not lose their heads and pay those
bringing in stock more than they can
ever get out of it.-Dakota Farmer.

Word comes from Glendale thai
the business men of that town will
Immediately erect new buildings on
their old sites and instead of the old
frame buildings fireproof structures
will take their place. The fire orig
mated, it is supposed, from a lighted
cigar or cigaret dropped in an old
deserted livery barn. The First Ma
tional bank and the Mann hotel were
saved after a hard fight. No one
was injured, although nearly every
one in the city was at work fighting
the fire. The heat was intense and
the smoke, driven by gale of wind
made it impossible to stand near the
burning buildings.
About fifty families are rendered
homeless by the fire and every house
remaining in the town has been
thrown open to the unfortunates.
Insurance is about Is per cent. of a
total loss, which is estimated will be
about 100000. The property
burned was q section three blocks
wide and twelve blocks long. Twen-
ty-seven business houses and 36

of the war and would do everything
possible consistent with maintaining
the honor and rights Of the United

These figures we're made public to-

Il am confident that Honolulu is the

exports there have broken all records,
