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.

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. —J. S. Trigg in Rockford Register. IS RE SPECTFULLY SOLICITED. J. M. PEARSE. WM.

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. 1 tlon.

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 Kfisi Sljc itkncljcstct Dcmocrnt. Skcond-Class Matter MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1,1899 VOL.

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." I'inulata 1'ructlcc Too Mncb. "While studying with Rubinstein, JoEef Ilofmann praosiced threo hours a day, "writes Mary B.

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.

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. QUAKER MILL CO. THB HEW YOffi VOBLD, THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION. The Bart P«p«r at the Lowwt Price. 156 Paper* A YEAR FORME DOLLAR.
