It is a record-breaking story, such as no other nation in any age has been able to tell. The value of the year's farm products not the value in the retail markets but on the farms is estimated at $6,418,000,000. That sum would buy out six steal ' trusts paying par for all the stock. It would more than pay the enormous national debt of France or Russia. , It would purchass all the gold produced in the wjrld in the last twenty years. Tne value is well distributed among the different kinds of product The American hen has given us values nearly equal to that of the wheat crop, and the American cow has brought 100,000 more dollars to her owners than the cotton crop has produced Cotton has long since ceased to be king. Three farm products, corn $ 1 .2 1 6,000. 000), milk and butter ($666,000,000) and hay ($606,000,000) are ahead of cotton ($276,000,000) in value. In con THE PIONEER The following incident will serve to demonstrate that the pioneers who invad ed this far western land possessed the ability to meet all of the requirements, and surmount all obstacles' In the fall of 1892 Mr. A. E. Eaton, the present owner of the Union Woolen Mills, and one of the largest land, owners in Union county was engaged in freighting business. His franchise, (thoy did not call them franchise in those days) extended from the Umatilla Landing to La Grand e While peacefully plodding along near the present Mecham station one of the wheels of his lead wagon suddenly went all to pieces. There was no place nearer than La Grande where a new wheel could be purchased, neither was there a wagon maker any nearer. There was one of two things to do, either leave the wagon or fix it on the spot The only tools avail able were an ax and a file. Mr. Eaton had never "filled a wheel" but that fact did not remove the necessity for speedy repairs. He began to-do some thinking and it finally occured to him- that on one of his previous trips he had seen an aguer about eight miles distant from the 'break down. This instrument would "be inest matable value to him and he therefore unhitched one of his wheel horses and set off for the Dry Creek cabin. Ha got the auger and returned. Then the real work commenced, but the details are unim portant. He filled that wheel with timber cut from a fir log and set the tire, and got the proper amonnt of "dish." He not only was only able to bring his load to its destination, but used the wheel the fol lowing summer and made saveral trips over the Blue Mountains. PATRICK REPRIEVED Albany, N. Y. Jan. 16.

Forbes, Prop. RAILROAD for miles around, and will if you will only make a low rate so that the multitudes can attend." They laughed at me and said they had never heard of such a thing, out finally after much confabing they agreed to run the excursion trains pro vided I'd guarantee to much money, which I did. "The result was a success even beyond my dreams. I had flaming big ads stuck up everywhere, and on the day of the show the crowds poured in just as I had figured. After that it was an easy matter to get the excursions, and I never was asked again for a guarantee." sequence of these enormous crops fol lowing a series of wonderfully prosperous years, the aggregate value of - all our farms has increased in five years by $6,133,000,000. "Every sunset during the past -five years." says - Secretary Wilson, has registered an increase of $3,400,000 in the value of the farms of this country.". This advance has been re latively greatest in the South, and for the first time in the history of that section the deposits in the banks exceed the sum of one billion dollars. Tne farming popu lation of the United States numbers but 35 per cent, of the total, but if the farm ers keep up for three year more the pace at which they h sve been going they will have produced in ten years one-hall the total amount of wealth- produced the nation in three centuries. Moreover, the exports of farm products have a mounted in sixteen years to twelve bil lion dollars, reversing the balance trade and giving us a favorable balance of over five billions ($3,092,000,000) WHITE SCHOOL REPORT l he following pupils in attendance at the White Sohool were neither absent nor tardy during the first half of the school year just closed.

That ! is the question which every con- sumer should consider before buying. There are five properties J contained in milk, viz; ash, or bone J material, caseire or curd, butter fat sugar, and water, in proportion of .3 of lfr.ash, 8.3 caseine, 4 butterfat, 6$ sugar, 87 water.. Now there are 13 solids and 87 water in a 4 milk, that is in milk containing 4 butterfat This ratio holds good wheather of a high or low test i. e. if you have a milk testing 6 the other solids will be increased in propor portion. if a 1 they will decrease in like manner. Now the solids are what is, or what should be consid ered in buying milk, as the water can be had for the pumping. Now let us consider for a moment be fore we buy wheather we are paying a high or low price for these solids. A3 milk contains 9.76 solids and 90.25 water, a 6 milk conUins 16.25 solids' and 83.76 water. Now if a 8 milk is worth $1.60 per quart per month., what should a 6 sell for? Let's see. if we pay $1.50 for milk containing 9.75 solids, at the same price milk containing 16.26 solids should sell for $2.50, or you can to every three quarts of 6 milk add two quarts of water, making b quarts of 3 milk, i. a. three quarts of 6 milk is equal to five quarts of 3 milk, at the present price 6 quarts of 8 milk (d $1.6o$7.50; three quarts of b milk (if) $2.00t$6.00. i. a. you are getting the same amount of solids for $6.00 in a 6 milk that you get in a 8 milk for $7.60. Are yog getting your milk cheap or are, you getting cheap milk, which?
