llritish and American capital is now
engaged In putting up modern mills In
China and in tfnehing the natives to
run Ihem. It will bo some years before
these mills will supply the Chinese
markets with their products, but each
passing year will record progress In that
direction. American exports of raw
cotton are increasing, while British ex
ports of cotton goods are decreasing.
When modern machinery and Chinese
cheap labor are combined in the manu
facture of the Btaple goodB of trade the
question will ariBP, not of an open door
into the far east, but of an open door
out of the far east.—San Francisco Bul

There never was a time in the history
of this'country when trusts multiplied
and prospered as they have under tbe
present administration. The Silver
Knight Watchman is able to see oce
good effect that will result therefrom,
and that is that "when a trust is formed
it turnB out of employment an army of
expert traveling salesman, and enables
one agency in each of the great com
mercial cities to do the work formerly
performed by a dozen or more such
agencies. The ranks of the anti-mo
flopolists will soon have an army of new
recruits from thiB source."
A medical authority says, sudden and
wearing attacks of coughing often need
immediate attention, especially in con
sumptives and those chronically ill. In
an emergency, that ever-useful remedy,
hot water, will often prove very effec
tive. It is much better than the ordi
nary cough mixtures, which disorder
tbe digestion and spoil the appetite.
Water, almost boiling, should be sipred
when the paroxysms come on. A cough,
resulting from irritation, is relieved by
hot water through the promotion of se
cretion, which moistens the irritated
surfaces. Hot water also promotes ex
pectoration, and so relieves the dry
cough.
All through the northwest large tracts
of land are now being reclaimed, which
in early days were worthless swamps
and bogs. The soils of these reclaimed
tracts are of a peculiar quality, entirely
different from any of our prairie or tim
ber soils of the uplands. They may be
put into two classes, one, that class of
swamps with little or no peat In their
make-up "where a black, India rubber
muck covers a stiff clay subsoil, and
the other where the subsoil is oorered
wtth from one to six feet oft* peat,
for
mation. The common prairie slongh
belongs to the first class the wire-grass
slough, wherever found, to the second.
The soil to the first named class will
usually be found to be charged with an
excess of alkaline matter, this explain
ed by the fact of the burning of the
grass for ages on the water Bhed of such
slough and the deposition of tbe ash by
tbe rainfall in such basinB, where evap
oration later Incorporated it with other
Bodimentary deposits. This soil when
reclaimed is cranky, and will utterly re
fuse to nourish eomo crops. It will
usually produce good potatoes and
good grass, timothy, particularly, liking
this soil condition. Tbe Lest use to
make of such reclaimed tractB is to gt'
them Into timothy to tame them. Tbe
peat soils are wholly different. In these
will be found a great excess of humus,
or decomposed vegetable matter. The
best thing to do with these in their
loose and porous condition, is to pasture
them until they become impacted and
solidified, when they will become the
richest and most productive lands on
the farm. These soils may be flaxed to
good advantage, as at first they will be
found too rich for wheat, barley or oats.

No gnd to Trusts.
There is no end to the formation of
trusts. New combines are organising
with a rusb. Old combines are enlarge
ing their scope and crushing out com
petition.
Tbe record for one day In Kew Yoik
show that five great organizations were
created for the express purpose of de
vouring the small consumers.
This new bunch of trusts comprises
those on boilers, cereals, candies, wool,
ens and clothes.
The cereal trust combines more than
a score of great milling companies. It
has a clearing house in Chicago, where
it owns ek valors and other facilities for
the control of tradp. The total capac
ity of the mills acquired Is 114,000 tar
rels of cereals a day. Then, having
cornered the food which nourishes the
body, tbe capitalists have organized
another combine tp corner the means by
which warmth is produced,
The American Radiator Company, a
combination of manufacturers of boil
eis for beating purposes, of radiators
and other heating apparatus, has been
incorporated at Trenton, N. J. The
capital is 810,000,000.
Then tbe candy makers have organ
ized, Their organization is due to tie
generally credited report that a candy
trust, oombining nearly all the prin
cipal candy manufacturers in the
United States, is practically formed
Among other reported combinations
to come, Is one of the New England
woolen manufacturers, with an im
mense capital.
It is pa)4 that the clothing manufac
turers of the country a fa planning a
trust to be capitalized at $2,000,000.
Every necessity of life will soon be in
the clutches of the trusts, and tbe peo
ple, while suffering from this condition
of affairs, seem helpless to discover
remedy. If they would reflect that tbe
republican party fosters the trusts and
that the democratic party opposes tbe
trasts, they would see that the remedy
lies In placing tbe democratic party in
power.

We meet with a man In the whirl of Clio street
WhoRB clotliloK Id threadbare *n1 worn.
From the ttme-battered hat to the shneH his

Ills K&rb Is all battered and torn.
Tlio rrlemls whom he know vhvu the sun on

Upon Ins condition will gazi,
Ann say hi a careless, dont-earc-a-darn tone:
"The fellow has soen better days."
Once tho features now marrod by tho poison of

But fortune was uckle, Ills hre-skles, alas!
Were blurred by adversity's lmze,
And now ho Is one of that soul-bmken class,
The fellows who've seen better days.
He feels not tho erasp of an out-stretching hand
To Hit hliu a Haiti to the track,
The hopo-spark within his heart never Is finned
By a br.clng-up pat on the back.
No word of encouragement reaehes his ear,
nut men on his misery xazo,
And say, with a sort of contemptuous sneer:
"The fellow has soen better days."
The ladles who once his society sought
Now stare straight ahead when they meet,
And say to each oilier, the slovenly sot
Should not be allowed on the street.
No thought at an offortof lifting him from .:

Ho's down In tho balance, he's only a bum,

How many unfortunates might he reclaimed

Their efforts toward their old standing ground

By lust an encouraging word.
From out of the gutter full many a gem
Of manhood our efforts might raise.

—James Barton Adams In Denver I oat.
Leave it to th. Oowa.
Not long ago a farmer told us that be
thought it would have been money in
his pocket if he had begun to feed his
cattle at the barn a week or two weeks
earlier, but the fieldB looked so green
that he thought there was enough good
feed there. Probably if he had left the
question to the
cowb
and tested it by
offering them some good hay at night,
when they eame up to be milked, they
would have let him know that the pas
ture was not rich enough in nntritive
qualities, if it was sufficient in quantity.
Frostbitten grasB has but little value,
and we think the growth in the cold,
wet and usually cloudy weather of tl:e
early spring and late fall is not as nn
tritious as that which grows from Jure
to September, just as grass grown in a
dense Bhsde is less valuable than that
which has tbe sunlight upon it. Begin
ning to add a little hay ration tothepag
tare feed for a few weeks before the
cattle are confined to tbe barn makes
the change in character of food more
gradual, and in this case at least and in
many others it would have prevented a
shrinkage of 50 pounds weight on each
animal, which it will take several
bushels of grain to put back again.
There were also some cold rains and
winds in October and November when
the cattle Bhould have been in the torn
or shed instead of in the pasture.^'
lBP.nia.lng the Profit*.
The Merlden Creamery company, of
Meriden, Kansas, find that their patrons,
who know bow to feed get from 9)0 to
355 income per year from each cow,
while the patrons who do not know
bow to feed, get from 818 to 825 per
cow per year, and that the net profits
received from each cow by their best
patrons are 11 times those received per
cow by their poorest, writes Mr. U. M.
Cottrell. They also find that some of
their patrons get no profit whatever
from the skimmfik, while others who
know how to feed it get from 25 to 50
cents from each 100 pounds of skimmilk
fed. As there are G.000 pounds of skim
milk from each good cow yearly, the
way it is handled makes a great differ
ence in the profits from dairying, The
Meriden company believe that if their
employees are thoroughly instructed in
these lines of feeding they can help the
farmers who sell milk to the creamery
to largely increase the farmers'profits
of the creamery. For this reason the
stockholders of the Meriden company
have decided to send all their employes
to the Kansas Dairy school at Manhat
tan, and require tbem while there to
make a special study of feeding dairy
cows and of feeding skimmilk to calves
and hogs.
Woman'. Creamery.
Tne Milwaukee Sentinel states that
Misa Kate l'effer, of Pewaukee, Wis., is
an example of what a woman possessed
of grit and determination can do. She
is the owner and manager of the l'e
waukee creamery, which she has made
a great success in tbe past eix yearp.
Though it was organized as a stock
company, she by purchase, from time to
time, of other interests Recently became
Bole owner of tbe property.
Miss l'effer is tall, dresses well, is a
fluent and earnest conversationalist,
with a cheery bit of advice and a help
ing hand for those who deserve it. A
daughter ot the late Peter Peffer, a well
known nurseryman, dairyman and
farmer, born and reared on her father's
farm juBt outside the village, she early
learned to follow in bis footsteps, and
gradually aqBumed charge of the affairs
on the old homestead, During the latter
years of her father's life the farm, dairy
and nursery were practically under ht
direction.
MIbs Peffer, always willing to learn
something new about agricultural sub
jects, Bpent a good deal of her time in
Btudy and research, besides attending
the meetings of the various state socie
ties. When a co-operative creamery was
suggested for Pewaukee, it found her a
ready and enthusiastic supporter. Iler
ability as a manager was recognized by
the stockholders, and she was elected
secretary Bnd treasurer of the new cor
poration, which place she has filled sat
isfactorily since the organization of the
society six years ago. Since 1891 Bhe
Jiae, from time to time, bought the
Bhares of different stockholders and foi
three or four years past has held a con
trolling interest. About six weeks ago
she purohaBed tbe interest of the last
stockholder.
The creamery is similar to many oth
era except that it shows tbe tidiness of
the woman's art. Miss Peffer under
stands the mechanismgof the plant to
the.minuteat ^detail. She begins the

m., and attends to tbe wants of its (15
patrons personally. Last year slio ban
died over 200,000 pounds of milk and
sold over
0,000
pounds of butter each
month.
She has taken a large number of val
uable premiums for her butter exhibits
both at county and state fairs. In
1891 Miss Pelfer scored 100 points in
her butter, and secured a fine parlor set
offered by the Dairymen's association.
In October, 1898, when she assumed
charge at the Pewaukee creamery, her
butter exhibit at the World's fair, at
Chicago, was awarded a diploma and
medal. Since then tho has taken many
premiums, and only this year her cream
ery exhibit at the state.fair secured
several valuable awards.
THE CYCLONE.
Row T.IiIb Wonderful and De.tme
tlve Air Fury la Formed.
To gnt nu idea of a oyclouo's forma
tion imagine a large cironiar pan or tub
with qnito a large bolo in the middle
of tho bottom. With this bole plugged,
fill tho vessel with water then draw
out the plug and watoh. There is first a
msb of water from all directions toward
tbe hole and a turbulent effort to get
through. Then tbe water surface above
begins to sink and swirl, tbe partiolea
gradually circling around and around
and rushing, ever faster, toward the
oencer. At last thero is aotually a hol
low space through tbe center, around
which all tbe. water in tbe tub is whirl
ing, sluggishly near tho rim, but with
more aud more violent rapidity toward
the middle until it rushes downward
through the bottom. Now, if that water
were air, yon woufd bs watching a little
cyclone turned upside down, for the a)
rushes upward instead of downward.
In tho cradle of cyolones during the
summer moutliB, when the land and the
water grow hotter and hotter because
of the loiyger duyB than nights, a layer
of air, hoi, light and fpjl of vapor, is
for a time held down by denser air
above it. Restless, expanding, tnmultu
ons, it moves about like a beast at bay
until a thinner place in the air above i,
found. Then up it madly rushes and
into the vacuum left behind the lower
atmosphere hastens from all direotions,
pushing and twisting and pouring up
ward until it lias fallen into a regular
spinning nrouijd a common oenter.
The ayaloui, pace formed, rnshes
away from tho[ tropics toward the pole,
and begins its career of destruction,
bruising, wrecking and sinking the
luckless ships which happen to be in
its path. More and more ot the sor
rounding atmosphere is drawn into the
whirl until tho storm often covers an
area nearly 1,000 mile* ip diameter.
Sometimes it-flings itself upon our Afi*
lantic coast and tears fiercely through
forests, fields isnd cities. Then again it
sweeps away aoroas the broad ocean and
:daalg»itselfuixinthe coasts of Europe.
Once in uwhfta it Bb adroitly avoids
the land that we never know it has
passed until ships come in torn and
broken.—St. Nicholas.
BACKBONE OF OUR NATION.
The Bruin Power of Oar Country
Come. Fronl'the Farms.
"It is from tbe farm and the country
districts that the great brain power of
the oonntry hns come, is coming today
aud must come in the futuro," writes
Edward BokinThe Ladies' Homo Jour
nal. "lu&teud of deprecating country
life and saying that'to live in tho coun
try meaus to live out of tho world,' in
telligent people know that the free, nn
trammeled life of the country unques
tionably gives broader views. The hu
man mind always grows to suit its out
ward surroundings. Originality and a de
velopment for great things have naught
to check its growth whero one can look
with earnest eyes from natnre up to na
ture's God. To speak of the ignorance
of the rural regions' is to stamp oneself
as an ignoramus, not the oountry peo
ple. There is a soundness of coro and
an intelligence in the back country of
this nation of ours that people who live
in cities aud think thomselves wise
never suspeot. We can talk all we like
of 'sooial revolutions' and kindled evils
that aro supposed to threaten this na
tion. When they do threaten onr insti
tutions, tho dnnger signal will not come
from tho back country. Such thoughts
are born and fed amid tho foul atmos
phcro of tho cities. In the clear coun
try air of tho farm nothing threatens
this country, aud wheu anything in the
gihupo of a socialistic, anarchistic revo
lution does mennco this land the true
voico which will stamp it out will come
from tho country. The backbone of this
laud rests in tbe country and on the
farm."

"While studying with Rubinstein,
JoEef Ilofmann praosiced threo hours a

famons pianist in The Ladies' Hqmo
Jourunl. "He believc3 that most stu

first time, he was practicing an hoar a

Germany be practiced two hours a day.
During tho noxt two years he averaged
fonr hours daily, aud ufter that, until
he went to Rubinstein, six hours daily.
This ho regards as excessive.
'Ouo's mind grows stupid and con

follow tho confusion of tbe brain. An
other mistako of young pianists is that

A MoiiMer Flower.
Tho largest flower in tho world, it is
said, is tho bolo, which grows oa tljp
island of Mindanao, one of the Philip
pine group. It has five petals, measures
nearly a yard in width, and a single
flower has been known to weigh 22
pounds. It grows on tho highest pinna

Why Not Sow Wheat This SpringP
Thi time is near at hand when
you should begin seeding. The
wheat question has not received
the attention the past few years
that it should. There is a large
demand for good wheat the year
round, and a number of farmers
were fortunate in sowing a few
acres of wheat last season, with a
good yield, which brought them a
snug sum of money.
It pays to sow wheat and there
is no reason why you cannot sow
a few bushels and be well paid for
it. We are quite anxious to have
lots of wheat sown this year, and
have therefore made arrange
ments for a car of choice spring
seed wheat, which we will let go
at cost in order to further the in
terest in the matter. Think this
over and, if possible, put a few
acres into wheat.
