The B. C. R. N. lty. is constructing
new line north and west from Worth
ington, Minn., to the west line of the
state, which will be completed within
the year. The country through which
the line passes is the best in south-west
ern Minnesota, is practically all under
cultivation and thickly settled by well
to-do farmers who have been going fif
teen and twenty miles to market. Ar
rangements have been made to lay out
towns at the moBt advantageous loca

need stores and shops of all kinds and
merchants will find favorable openings
on this new line. Doctors and profes

There will be two new towns on this
line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and
investors will find splendid opportuni

Joaquin Miller, the well-known Cali
fornia poet, has built his own funeral
pyre. He.is an eccentric man, and his
last rite, will be as strange aa his life.
Fat up on the top of a sterile emi
nence, in the hills back of Oakdale, the
quaint man of letters has built his bier.
It is a solid mass of masonry, covering
a space ten feet square and standing
eight feet high. It is composed of six
hundred and twenty huge granite boul
ders, set in cement, and laid with skill
ed hands in a manner calculated to en
dure for centuries.
The queer structure is approached by
three stepB laid across the entire west
frontage, and of sufficient height to per
mit bearers to place a body on the top
of the heap.
The big masonry pile has been design
ed with great care The upper surface
is hollowed out to a depth of two feet,
in the shape of a collin. When the end
of all things comes, this space will be
filled with wood, and the body of the
poet will be placed on top of it all.
The structure has been built so that
a good draught will fan the blaze into
flames when the torch is applied, and
make the cremation of the body a doub
ly assured fact.
Six feet to the north of the masonry
tomb lies a great brown boulder weigh
ing probably two tons. The surface has
been smoothed off, and upon Its face, in
large white letters, has beeD carefully
printed this Inscription," To the Un
known." This is the only epitaph that
will appear on the spot.
Kuks of Xodeaty.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Mr. McKinley's forty-six stump
speeches in defense of his Philippine
war show that his favorite words are
Patriotism," The Flag and Prov
idence." As there are many and wide
variations between the text of his
speeches aa unofficially reported and the
text as given out by his oratorical press
censor, Mr. Cortelyou, it is impossible
to give the accurate figures. An ap
proximation is
Patriotism 193 times.
pie Flag 176 times.
Providence MM times.
If references to Patriotism, The Flag
and Providence were included, the totalB
would be swollen to more than 600,400
and 250 times respectively.
A careful reading of the whole series
of orations discloses two interesting
facts:
First—That in Mr. McKinley's mind
the three words are synonyms, which he
uses as the exigences of oratory direct
to convey a single idea.
Second—That all three are masks of
modesty worn by the pronoun of the
first person singular.
Disguised as "Providence," Mr. Mc
Kinley bought the Philippine war from
Spain. Disguised as "The Flag," he
has been and is "assimilating" Filipinos,
with the soil of their native land. Dis
guised as
11
Patriotism," he la Bhouting
for the confounding of all traitora who
dare to murmur against his perform
ances as "Providence" or hla deeds as
The Flag."
The country Is dincerely to be con
gratulated upon the opportunity for
getting personally acquainted with its
President which Mr. McKinley Is now
giving it.
Bryan Indorsed.
All question as to the attitude of the
New York democracy toward William
J. Bryan has been settled, New York
favors the nomination of Bryan for the
presidency in 1900.
At a meeting of the New York demo
cratic state committee, held at the Hoff
man House, a resolution was adopted
in spite of Senator Hill's opposition,
which committed the party in the Em
pire state irrevocably to Bryan.
That resolution
WBB
passed by a vote
of 34 to 10, and reads as follows:
The democratic state committee of
New York recognizes that William Jen
ningB
Bryan
is

leader of the democratic party in the

Cow Peas and Fires.
uere is an argument in favor of cow
peas in orchards that id novel and
sound. It is written by It. C. Morris, of
Olney, 111,: "I must not neglect to call
your attention to another very Impor
tant matter. Peas and bean, are in
their greatest stage of growth when we
are often losing thousands of tijees and
dollars from fires eet by railrokd loco
motives and hunters in August and
September. Where peas and beans
grow there is no possible danger from
tire." Some dry crop like oats or grass
will take fire from a spark, while green
peas or beans will escape. For the good
of the orchard, also, it is better to have
the green crop growing late in the sea
son.
Intensive Farming.
As
Boon
as we learn is this country
that fewer acreB better cultivated are
better than many acres carelessly cul
tivated, the greater will be the profits
of farming. The great extent and
original cheapness of our farming lands
have been a detriment to us agricul
turally. Thousands got their farms at
81.25 an acre, and even less, added to
the original claim as rapidly as possible,
and engaged in farming "all out doors,"
Almost necessarily such farming is
loosely done. When there are but few
acres under cultivation, they must be
made to produce what we need, and
they can be with less expenditure of
time and effort. The English farmer
compels his few acres to yield ap much
as our many acres do, because his sys
tem Is more perfect. The farms of the
future will be smaller. The time will
come—after we are gone—when herds
will not rove over great fields tout will
be soiled when the wheat and corn
crops will be made to more than double
the present average yield ^nd when
farming will be JeM'frfaome^jfitimuaits
Operation will be more complete in
every respect. If these things will be
profitable and desirable then, why
would they not be profitable and de
sirable now?—Western Plowman.
About Ulover.
I .have noticed recently that there
have been some inquiries in regard to
red clover, as to whether it will cause
scours when fed to young Block.
Of course in a very wet Beason, such
as was experienced in Missouri last
season, clover, as well as grasses,
would be inferior in nutrition com
pared with crops grown in a dry season,
either fed dry or green. It may con
tain properties when grown in a wet
season that will cause scours. 1 am
sure of one thing, that in a wet season
clover does not contain very many fat
producing constituents, for it is as
much as Btock can do to hold the fatal
ready gained, even when the clover and
grass growth Is luxuriant while In a
dry season, even with a shortage, Btock
will fatten.
Clover Is the best foliage plant we
have, notwithstanding the foregoing
conclusiona, especially for cattle. There
is some objection to It for horse feed,
but by proper care in cutting at the
right time, and curing without any ex
posure to dew or rain, this trouble can
be entirely overcome. The objection to
clover for horse feed is in the fine fuzz
on the leaves and stems of the plant,
which is carried into the lungs of the
horse by the breath while he is eating.
I have learned of late by actual ex
perience that if clover is cut early
enough those particles will adhere to
the stems and can be ewallowed and
digested without any bad effect what
ever. To avoid
thiB
health
and strength, and, while'he is tempor
arily stricken in the people's battlefield,
they beg to assure him of their loyalty
and love.
When the resolution was read, Rich
ard Croker arose and said:
"I heartily approve of this resolution
and every word it contains. If Mr.
Bryan
nominated for the presidency I
shall certainly support him and do all I
can to secure his election. I believe that
the rank and file of the democratic par
ty of this state and nation demand his
nomination."
With all doubt as to the poaltion of
the New York democracy removed, the
prospects of democratic success in 1900
are materially brightened.
Asaiatant republicans will be few and
far between in the Empire Btate next
year. The condition of 1896 will no
longer exiat.
Such being the caae, enthusiasm
should prevail all over the country.
Bryan is the man of destiny and
trouble clover should
be cit before many of the heads begin
to turn brown, and should not be ex
posed, when partially dried, to dews.—
C. D. Bent, in Rural World.
A Ration for Calves on Full Feed
Mr. L. W. Hayden, of St. Charles
county, Missouri, writes: "Please in
form me how to feed calves to make
them grow and fatten at the same
time. I wish to feed them about 12
months. They now weigh about 330
pounds land are well bred. I have
plenty of timothy and corn fodder.
will grind the corn and cob together.
I have a good barn in which to feed
them. I can buy oatB for about 22c
per bushel and bran for 60c per hun
dred. It will be easier for me to get
the bran than the oats. Is it as good
Please anBwer through the paper."
Oats at 22c per bushel are 813.75
per ton at 60c per hundred bran is $12
per ton. Either in combination with
corn make a good ration for this class
of stock, while at the prices we would
prefer the bran to the oats and the
more so because the roughage of
timothy and corn fodder is deficient in
the flesh forming elements or elements
of growth of which bran has an excess.
We would, therefore, feed two-thirds
corn and cob meal and one-third bran
by weight, and give them all the
timothy and corn fodder they want to
eat. It might be well to add a little oil
cake to this ration not over half a
pound a day, and then judge from |he
growth whether it ia profitable, )Ve
think it would be. It would prol

AN EFFECTIVE PARABLE.
General Joubrrt'. Story Savvd the
Live, of the Jmneaon Raider..
A most interesting account of the
manner in which the lives of Jameson
and his men were spared, after the sur
render to the Bners, is told by the
Nieuws Van den Dag of Amsterdam:
The stern old Boers, when they had
Jameson and his fellow officers in thoii
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers of the band at daybreak. The meet
ing took plaoe In President Krager's
house, 30 being present, of whom the
great majority, wild with indignation
at the sudden inroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting tho British offl
oars at once.
Praddent Kroger opposed this sum
mary plan and used all his eloqueuou
and all his influenoe on behalf of the
prisoners. For a long time his efforts
were vain. It was 4 o'clook in the
morning, and the president's opponents
were still for execution. Tho livos of
the foreigners hung by a thread.
At length General Joubert, one of the
few who agreed with the president, had
recourse to the old time Boer method of
oonvinoing his hearers. Ho made use of
a parable.
"Friends," he said, "will you not
listen to my voice onoe morel1 Suppose
that oloae to my farm livos a bad neigh
bor who keeps fierce hounds in his
house, worrying my sheep exceedingly
and also killing soma What, then,
would you have me to do? Should I kill
the hounds to be free of this worry!
Truly my neighbor would say unto me:
'Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their
value is greater than the value of your
sheep. Pay thou me I' Is it not better
that I should take the hounds and go
ing into my neighbor's house say,
'Theso are thine now pay me for the
harm they have done my flock?'
SERVANTS' EXCUSES.
Oae Woman Who
Waa Clever Baoisrb
to Clroamvnt Th.ai.
We have heard the story of the Oana*
dian mistress who, with seven servant*
inrher houaa, was obliged toco to the
garden and piok berries for the table.
Each of the servants deolined the task
with the stereotyped excuse, "It ain't
my plaoe to piok berries." Ord, In his
"History of Cleveland," relates an an
ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who,
while accepting her servants' exouse,
yet made them do her will.
In one of her visits to Scarborough
Mrs. Wharton, with her usual eoonomy,
had a family pie for dinner, whioh she
directed the footman to convey to the
bakehouse. This the man deolined to
do as not belonging to his plaoe, or
rather, as derogatory to his oonse
quenoe. The lady then moved the ques
tion to the coachman, bat found a still
stronger objection.
To save the pride of both Urs.
Wharton resolved to take the pie to the
shop herself. She ordered one to
harness and bring out the horse, and
the other to mount and ride behind, and
thus the errand was done with all honor
and ceremony. Then in due time the
coaohman was ordered to put to a seo
ond time and the footman to mount be
hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought
the pie in the same dignified stats.
"Now," said the lady to the ooaoh
man, "you have kept your plaoe, whioh
is to drive, and yon yours," to the foot
man, "which ia to wait, and I mine,
whloh is to have my pie for dinner."
MAKING WOOD ALCOHOL.
Tho Deadly Snbatanee That Thlv.tr
Topera Sometlmea Drlnlc.
It is neoessary first to convert wood
into liquid. The strongest hydraullo
pressure would not squeeze one-half of
1 por oent of the moisture from dry
wood, but by patting the same material
into an iron retort and converting it
into oharooal by means of heat the gases
and smoke, to the extant of fully 65 per
cent of the weight of the wood, may be
condensed into pyroligneous acid, from
which are obtained wood alcohol, acetate
of lime and wood tars. A oord of wood
weighing 4,000 pounds produoes about
2,000 pounds of pyroligneous aoid and
700 pounds of oharooal. The pyroligne
ous aoid from one cord of wood pro
duces 9 gallons of 83 per oent crude
wood alcohol, 300 pounds of acetate of
lime and ubont sis gallons of tar, besides
35 bushels of oharooal. After the pyro
ligneous acid is neutralized with lime
the wood alcohol is distilled off, the
lime holding the aoetio acid in solution.
1
After tho separation of tho wood spirit
the remaining liquid ia boiled down in
panB to a sugar, which is dried, and he
roines the aoetate of lime of commerce.
Acetate of lime is used for making
acetio
aoid.
Fully three-fifths of all the wood si
oohol and acetate of lime produced in
tho world are made in the United States.
Over 16,000 acres of foreBt per year are
cleared in the United States. Wood al
oohol affords a perfeot substitute for
grain aloohol for manufacturing and
meohanioal purposes, and at less than
one-third the oost. It is used principally
as a solvent in the making of shellao
varnish and in making celluloid and
