Miss Dura Donald, who has become known us the teacher of Miss Linnie Haguewood, has achieved an honor of which all lowan' can be proud. She has been elected to organize and super intend a school for the blind in South Dakota The young state of the north west has hitherto sent its blind to the Iowa college for the blind at Vinton, but with its increased population it has wisely derided to build and main tain a school of its own. Mies Donald who has been selected by the South Dakota Board of Chsriiiea for t'-is im portant work formerly lived at Corning Adams county. She accepted a position in the kindergarten depart ment at Viuton and her work was soon marked. When Linnie Haguewood be came prominent, Mies Donald WBB as signed us her teacher, a place she has tilled so acceptably that she has made an inter-state reputation as an edu cator of the blind. As the Vinton Eagle says, through tbe efforts of Mi as Donald, Linnie Haguewood haB been lifted from darkness into light. MISB Donald has devoted four years of her timetotbis one pupil, not for Miss Haguewood alone, but for the cause of the ducation of the blind, that it, in order to discover and to demonstrate nv educ ition can be applied to ti aflliuted. A competent teacbe- will take charge of Miss Haguewood .uucer Miss Donald's supervision, while the latter is organizing the South Dakota school, which will be located at G-iry.— Cedar Rapids Republican. ii] Old People. I want to say a word to the old peo pie. 1 se.- you wherever I go. I see yju on the street cars. The conductor gives the car an extra rest when you get on or off, out of courtesy to your slow steps. 1 see you in church. You nod sometimes, but tbe Bermon is not complete without your smile of ap proval. I see you in the warmest cor ner of the hearth reading the paper. You have one great temptation—it is to think that your days of usefulness are over. You are only in the way, so you feel, and you'd better b3 out of the world. It is a great mistake. If tbe Lord thought that old people were useless he would have devised some way sudden ly to get rid of them. What makes a person useful Not ability to work, A baby cannot earn a penny, cannot do a stroke of work, yet it is often tbe most important factor in the household. Baby's coming often makes father "straighten up," often uuites the estranged hearts of husband and wife often brings sobriety "and in dustry into the home life. An old man sitting in an arm chair, feeble and helpless, may be the most useful member of the household. Let me say three things to you: 1. Old people are a blessing because of their accumulated wisdom. You have made the journey of life. You have the rich experience—more valua ble than Klondike.

At a recent meeting of the State Grange in Lock Haven, Pa., l)r. II. P. Armsby, Director of the Pennsylvania State Experimental Station, gave an address upon the education of the farmer, prenenting a brief review of the past history and present Btntus of agri cultural education in the United States, aud particularly in Pennsylvania. At t'\e close of the address resolutions were eft'ered and subsequently adopted, providing for the appointment of a Bpecial committee to consider the sub ject of agricultural education in Penn sylvania and report its conclusions and recommendations at the next meeting of the State Grange. It is to be hoped that the trend of sentiment in the old Keystone State, upon this important question, is in the direction, among other ways, of teach ing the elements of agriculture in the common schools. A generation of farmer's boys educated in that way would furnish a hundred times more graduates from agricultural colleges than the present system pioduceB. A taste for the study of agriculture mu6t be implanted in tbe youog if thev are to make ood farmers or good agricultural scientists in after life.—Hoards Diiry man. Notes on the Boot Killing of Fruit Trees. T!.e great distruction of orchards, nurseries and vineyards caused by the sevens cold of last winter is still fresh in the minds of fruit growers and farmers. While the loss in nursery stock was immense, yet the greatest disaster fell upon the orchards, gardens and vineyards surrounding the homes of our farmers in the state. The subject has been investigated by the Horticultural Department of the Iowa Experiment Station at Ames, and the results of these investigations have been set forth in Bulletin 44, just pub lished. This bulletin may be had on application to the Experiment Station at AmeB. This publication discusses various phaBes of this injury, nevertheless, the most important part of it is connected with the methods which may be em' ployed by the nurserymen and farmer in avoiding or preventing a recurrence of the injury. These means are grouped under three heads, each of which is dis cussed fully in the body of the bulle tin. These are, 1st, hardy stockB 2nd, deeper planting and 3rd, the modifica tion of our cultural practices in orchard by the introduction of a cover crop system. It is suggested that in the past too much time has been devoted to the study of varieties and too little to a study of methods of culture. In other words, that the BUCCCSB of or charding in the Btate depends more up on the management of the orchard than it does upon the planting of Btrict ly "ironclad" trees. We would advise our readers interested in fruit culture to send for a copy of this bulletin. Dairying in New Zealand. In a recent issue of Farming Mr. A. Ruddick, who went to New Zealand from Canada in tbe fall of 1898, as dairy commissioner for that portion of Her Majesty's dominions, gives a very interesting account of dairying in that country. The expansion of the induB try there is along the line of butter making rather than of cheese making and it is in this particular that we may look upon New Zealand a competitor in the British market. Tbe climate and conditions tberu seem to be well adapted for carrying on dairying successfully, aad with comparative ease to the dairy man. It is rarely necessary to house lesB into useful form. At the end of I or provide feed for cattle during the the year, for all tbeir enormous opera tions and their immeusepercentages of profit, they have added nothing to the world's wealth, have contributed noth ing to the swelling tide of industry. Their business Is to intercept money at one point and not let it pass into the channels of trade and industry until ihey are paid for it and by pursuance of this system they have made, it ap pears, in one caBe, as high as two hun dred aud sixty-three per cent, on their invested capital. Let the farmer who finds it under the moBt favorable conditions almost im possible to make four per cent, on the cost of hiB farm, study these figures. Let the clerk and tbe manual worker consider what such prodigious gains, drawn in every case from the proceeds of industry, muBt mean to the real workers in productive callings. The etrniugs of money and the earnings of ii.en seems to be sadly disproportionate, and It is from the class which profits by the earnings of money that tbe cry of prosperity goes up, Independence OonMtnUVft winter, aud about the only thing the dairyman has to do is to milk his cows and see that they have plenty of pas ture. There are two references in Mr. Rud dlck's article that are well worth con sidering in relation to the industry here. He points out that the manufacture of butter is carried on In large cential creameries, with a number of i-ki.n ming stations attached. The industry iB expanding, but it is along the line of increasing the number of stations rather than the number of cen tral creameries. By adopting this plan it is claimed that more uniformity of product can be secured and at a lesser cost than putting a butter making plant in each station. This is the plan that was first advo cated here when the wiuter dairying movement began, but our dairymen do not appear to have tHken to it very kindly. There are a few concerns of this kind, such as Renfrew and St. Mary's, but the bulk of tbe creamery jtbutter produced In this oountry is made the factory where the milk Is kept' Bill Wells. 'The crowd were out for excitement and didn't care how they got it. They took several drinks and then clustered around one of the monte tables. In a few moments Wells insisted upon mak ing a bet over the limit, to which the dealer objected. 'If you don't turn for that bet. I'll shoot out your blankety blank lights!' bawled the ranchman. The leemit ez feety dollar,' said the Mexican dealer, ami the words were uo sooner out of his mouth than Wells and his gaug pulled their six shooters and iu'gan blazing away at the lamps. 'About 25 or 30 shots were fired, and almost at (he outset the place was In complete darkness. Of course there was a stampede, but I remember belug surprised that 1 had heard no crash of glass. Half an hour later I went back aud found the place lit up aB brightly as ever, Wells and his cow boys having been taken away by friends. The roof was full of holes, but not a single lamp had been hit. What had put them out was the Con xion of the shots in a confined space." New Orleans Times-Demo cr&L An Cnaonght Pardon. Among the stories of that forn governor of Texas familiarly knov as Sam Houston Is more than oue amusiug tale. There was a financial agent of the penitentiary who had warmly opposed "the election of Governor Houston, but was particularly anxious to retain his own pleasantly lucrative position. Con sequently the governor was soon In re ceipt of a petition in which the man's years of faithful service and special qualifications for the place were set forth In glowing terms by himself. The governor sent for him and said gravely, "It appears from this petition that you have been In the penitentiary eight years." I have," was the reply. And during that time you have per formed faithfully every duty that has come iu your way to the best of your ability I have," answered the agent, his courage swiftly rising. Then, sir," said the governor, with the air of one conferring a priceless favor, "I pardon you out!"—Youth's Companion. rr^^.^^^«r-o--^t*.^-T,,5'*,^^'?^r^*T^v,-?r^'"•*•-'i"5-V*T:^ MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY. 28. 1900.

SHOOTING OUT THE LIGHTS. An OccnKion When the Old Ranch man Saw the Trick Done. "According to western stories" said a former ranchman, "one of the favor ite amusements of frontier despera does is 'shooting out the lights/ I nev er saw it done but once, but the Inci dent made sullieient impression on my mind to last me for life. It was at Rentoti. a small camp on the old 'Stake Plain' trail, in northeastern New Mexi co. I wus stayiug there over night with a couple of cattlemen, and we naturally gravitated to the only resort in town, a sort of combination of bar and gambling house, in a rough one story building, containing a good sized stable room. "The bar was on one side, and on the other were two or three 'Mexican monte' tables, over each of which were several large coal oil lamps In wall brackets. In the center of the place was a chandelier containing three more, altogether giving a good deal of light. We, were sitting at one side smoking and talking, when In rushed half a dozen drunken cowboys, headed by a well known ranchman named ORDINANCE NO. 140.
