The H. C. K. N. liy. is constructiBg a
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 iB the best in south-west
ern Minnesota, is practically all under
cultivation and thickly settled by well
to-do farmers who have been going lit'
teen and twenty mileB to market. Ar
rangements have been made to lay out
townB at the most advantageous loca
tions for businesB. These towns will
need stores and shops of all kinds and
merchants will Qnd favorable openings
ou thiB new line. Doctors and profes
sional men will also Had good locations.
This company is also constructing a
line from Armstrong to Estherville, Ia.
There will be two new towns on thiB
line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and
investors will lind splendid opportuni
ties at either of these points.
The railway company will, as thev
have always done, join with the Dusine»«
men of their towns to build up centers

lowing counties to care for theii insane
patients. In one instance, he says, he
found a patient chained to the wall,
and in another be found a man and his
wife attempting to cook and care for
seventy people, the insane and paupers,
and between them they received lifty
dollars a month for their labor. In an
other county he found the insane and
the paupers in the same building with
a partition between them made of dry
goods boxes. He promises that the
facts will be presented in detail in their
coming report.—Monticello Express.
Two years ago at Commonwealth,
Georgia, an
.Arcadian scheme was set on
foot in the founding of a colony which
attracting muuh attention. The
originators were men of strong relig
ious conviction, who intend to imitate,
as far as possible the life of Christ. The
colony haBits school, church, workshops
and printing-press, and every one la
bors in some way while all are govern
ed by the law of love alone. A barren
stretch of land has been transformed,
by skilled labor and scientific devices,
into a thrifty, fertile and prosperous
farming region of nice hundred and
thirty-one acres. The land was pur
chased by a company of enthusiastic
men from Nebraska. All good or bad
results are held in- common, and the
following covenant has been entered
into Dy eighty or so members: "I ac
cept as the law of my life Christ's law
that 1 shall love my neighbor as myself.
I will use, hold, or dispose of my pro
perty, my labor and my income, accord
ing to the dictates of all who need. I
will not withhold for my selfish ends
aught that 1 have from the fullest ser
vice that love inspires." Some of the
familleB of the colony live about in
cottages doing all their own work, while
many live and cook together. Culture
is promoted and innocent amusements
indulged in, but always as incident
to service. Diversified industries are
•pringing up, and a greater prosperity
promised.—Ex.
Colonel Hendersoin, as speaker of tho
next house, is not destined to have an
easy time. Already forces are gather
ing which are calculated to embarrass
him and which will require his utmost
resource to meet and overthrow. Re
port comes from Washington that signs
multiply that the lobby which will be
present this winter will be the largest
for many years. According to the
Washington correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle, "men identified with
the third house are already boasting
that Speaker Henderson wiil let down
the bare and give congressmen who
favor special legislation a chance to be
heard." For the past few years par
ticularly during the administration of
Thomas B. Reed as speaker of the
house,the Washington lobby has fared
badly. A few of the old-timers have
remained on guard in the corridors
and reception rooms of the senate and
house, but they have been in hard luck
and have not been conspicuous by reas
on of lavish entertainments or excessive
expenditure of money. But the close
vote in the lower house and the fact
that a green speaker will be in the
chair have brightened the hopes of the
professional wire pullers and log roll
ers, and they hope to make a profitable
raid. Colonel Henderson will be com
pelled to fight the fight which Speaker
Reed won during his first t$lm in the
chair. Colonel Henderson will doubt
less be equal to the emergency. lie
knows the third house, its personnel
and its motives and methods, and can
scuttle it out before its members are
nested. The Iowa congressman may
indeed be a proud man if, when his
term or terms as speaker end, the peo
ple will say of him, as they say of Mr.
Reed, that he set his face rigidly and
determinedly against everything which
might tend to even cast suspicion on
the integrity of the American oongress.

DAIRY AND CREAMERY
Some Feeding Tests.
Bulletin No. 39, of the Massachusetts
experimental station says: Feed has
very little elTect upon the quality of
milk. By quality we refer to the per
cent or amount of total solid matter in
the milk. It is a well recognized fact
that some feeds affect the flavor and to
some extent the color of milk. Feeds
rich in protein have a tendency to
slightly increase the percentage of fat in
some cows: the Bame can be said of
feeds rich in fat. This increase is prob
ably only temporary, however, the milk
gradually coming back to its normal
composition. The milk-producing func
tion is to a largo extent under the con
trol of the nervous syBtem. Any in
fluence that disturbs the quiet or nor
mal condition of the animal, be it rough
Usage, extremes of temperature, etc.,
will have its effect upon the quality of
.the milk., -On the .other hand..p!enly:!of
good feed increases the quality of milk
until the animal reaches^ her maximom
of production. Prof. Patrick, of the
Iowa station, conducted an experiment
in which a number of cows were fed
"sugar meal," a refuse of our glucose
factory. In the first experiment it was
thought that the cows fed this feed
gave a decided increase in butter fat,
but the experiment not being satisfac
tory, a second trial was given, and in
this experiment it was found that cows
fed "sugar meal" gave no increase in
butter. A similar experiment was made
in one of our eastern stations in which
beef tallow was fed, beginning with a
ration of two ounces and increasing to
two pounds per day, and at the close of
this experiment it was found that the
cow was still giving her one pound of
butter daily, her previous record.
These references and experiments are
given to Bhow that it is the breed, more
than the feed given, that is to deter
mine the character and composition of
the milk. Were it only the feed given,
what would be the use of our choice
dairy breeds, when a Texas cow could
be made by feeding to produce as many
pounds of butter as the Jersey. We
should then feed the cow a sufficient
quality of rich, wholesome food, with
plenty of pure water constantly on hand.
—Farmers' Voice.
Cows' Borns.
Cows' horns have a considerable val
ue and owing to circumstances sur
rounding the dairy they are constantly
raising in price. The hornB are care
fully Baved at the great western slaugh
ter houseB, but so general has the CUB
tom of dehorning cattle become that it
is Baid that over one-half the cattle
have loBt these appendages, and one re
ceiver reports that not more than one
animal in six has horns. They are now
quoted at $150 per ton, and the price is
continually going higher.
Sorghum Good Feed.
Some are inquiring about sugar cane
for feed. We planted about ten acres
last-year, writes Tom Pontingin Breed
ers' Gazette, drilling it In with a corn
planter.^ We fixed the plates so It
would drop about three Beeds in a place
and tended it as we do corn. We cut
and bound it with a corn-harvester.
You must be very careful In putting it
in shock as the tops are so heavy it will
fall over. We had no trouble in curing
ours, but we had to let it stand in the
field until we were ready to feed it. It
has so very much moisture in it that It
cannot be piled together until very
late in the BeaBon. I think it made six
tons to the
acre after It was cured. I
would like to ask some one which has
the most feeding quality, sugar cane or
Cafllr corn We bought a little Kaffir
corn at a sale the other day and our
herdsman does not think there Is as
much feeding quality in the corn as
there is in the cane. If there is I would
like to plant about half KafHr corn in
stead bf so much sugar cane. The
trouble with sugarcane in this black
soil is that it gets so tall that 'the wind
blows it over. Kaffir corn wiil not do
this. I think the sugar cane is grand

Sez ho'U plow up the garden patch and the
Stock on the Farm.
Tbe man with a large farm may be
able to go on raising and selling grain
and let the wastes go, but tbe small
farmer cannot allow these losses.
For the small farmer horseB or cattle
are out of the question as they require
too large an area of pasturage, but
with hogs or sheep the case is different.
They can be kept with profit in com
paratively cramped quarters. Either of
these kinds of stock may be UBed to
make meat of grass and grain. Feed
may be sold in the shape of mutton,
wool or pork to better advantage than
in its original condition. The&small
farmer should be an intensive farmer
and Intensive farming is impossible
without the help of live stock or the
purchasing of large quantities of fertil
izers, which is not good farming.
The man who owns a small farm und
keeps a small herd of hogs or a small
flock Qf sheep, is likely to become an
entlmBiast, and if this is tbe case the
stock kept will get much larger prices
than common stock and the profits tvill
be increased.
AB a matter of fact tbe small farn^
with a few animals is in a position to
take the very best care of his animals
whether they are to be used for market
or are pure-breds which are to be suld
for breeders and in either case the re
turns will be larger than they could be
where larger floc&B with less care are
kept.—Farmers' Voice.

decision ought to be.
"Finally Miller,the plaintiff's counsel,
offered to bet Hoover, the defendant's
attorney, $10 that he was right. Hoover
did nqt happen to have that much of
the Circulating medium concealed
abontthls person, and was naturally at

"Tht court waited a few moments

One of tbe district school trustees

have been saved if live stock were
kept,
ful means to gain the favor of the
community, he is generally known
among his fellowmen as a
SOREHEAD.
A man who lies will cheat and
steal, and if you deal with him he
will bear watching.
Honest business methods are
always sure trade-winners.
The above is a likeness of a
sorehead as our special artist sees
him.
We do not claim that our flour
is the best in the world, but we do
assert that is as good as any in
the world, and that's enough.
There is more QUAKER Mill
Flour sold in Manchester and
Delaware County than any other
flour and we have the documents
to prove it.
Our goods are sold by the best
deak-rs everywhere and you'll not
find them in "shoddy" places.
Help home industry by using
the flour with A QUAKER ON
EVERY SACK and you'll not be
deceived.
