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 tions for business. These townB will need stores and shops of all kinds and merchants will find favorable openings on this new line. Doctors and profes sional men will also Und good locations, This company is also constructing a line from Armstrong to Estherville, la. There will be two new towns on this line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and investors will find splendid opportuni ties at either of these points. The railway company will, as they have always done, join with the Dusiness mvn of their towns to build up centers of trade. For information write Thomas H.

Member of Board ol Supervisors' JOHN REILljY, Adams township. 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 the natural approved leader of the democratic party in the nation, The democratic state committee here by expresses its solicitude for hiB iB 11IK UUUHRLGR.

Kiser, in Chicago Tlmes-HearM. 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.

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 Sye robably mtu huadftd, W» hotographlc paper.
