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 of trade. For Information write THOMAS H. BROWN, General Townilte Agenl 86-W18.

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. —De, Molnei Leader.' if rf «s The Imperative Mandaie.

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.

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. The Bet Von the Cue. "In one of the remote counties of the Panhandle of Texas," says Law Notes, "two lawyers were trying a ease be fore a justice of the peace. It was 00 miles as the crow files to tba nearest law book, and the attorneys differed, of course, as to the law upon the main Issue In the case. Tbey were trying tbe case without the Intervention of a Jury, and his honor, who conducted a gam bling bouse in conncctlon with his ho tel, saloon, livery stable, stud horse and Jackass, was In doubts as to what his 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 a loss bow to parry this forcible argu ment. "Tht court waited a few moments -OB TOgveT, and finally said: 'Well, Mr. Hoover^ "the court" KM—W4!|ed long enough. Miller's proposition seem? be a fair one, and, since you don't put op, I will decide this case in favor of the plaintiff.'" Vnexpcetcd. One of tbe district school trustees was a crank on the subject of Are, and when he called round with the ex amining board he always confined his remarks to a question addressed to the pupils as to wbat they would do In case the building should catch Are.

When the board called, however, this particular trustee, per haps from a desire to emulate his as sociates in their addresses, rose and said: "You boys and girls have paid such attention to Mr. Jones' remarks, I wonder what you would do, now, If I were to make you a little speech?"
