MORE BURGLARS,
Rosebush   Stores Entered  and
Farm Rig Stolen.
On Friday night of last week a
thief or thieves, broke into the Btore
of Alexander Hislop, also the meat
market of William Calkins, at Rosebush, securing some money and perhaps other valuables. The same
parties doubtless later entered the
barni of Dennis Fitzpatriek near
Rosebush and stole horse, harness
and buggy, driving to this city and
putting the horse in Mr. MoKeever's
shingle warehouse near tbe depot,
breaking tbe lock to enter it. The
next morning Under Sheriff Morris-
sonjoame here with Mr. Fitzpatriek
who identified the hotse as his. No
trace of the thieveB haa yet been
found so far as -we know.
Good  Cattle.
Last Saturday John Levingaton oi
Sheridan sold to Johnson and Son of
Rosebush'nine 2 year old steers that
weighed 9000 pounds, lacking only 40
lbs. 1?bey sold for S6.90 per hundred,
or for S618.24, an average of S68.70.
Tbe steers were low grade' Durham
as we are informed and were raised
on the farm. Mr. Levingston contemplates going into the stock business on a more extended scale.
Now we are not publishing this because the result waa anything extraordinary. Mr. Levingston would
doubtless disclaim any such idea.
We are glad to note any improvement in stock breeding and feeding
and at present high price of beef, it
would Beem to pay farmers to feed
stock, if they are rightly situated to
do so.
Recently we spoke of the. organization of "Stock Improvement Associations" now being carried on by
the Agricultural College. It is certainly something intirely practicable
in any community and would result
in a marked improvement in stock
and at a minimum of expense to- the
members.

Duncan Roe Loses Several Farm
Buildings.
—:  »
By the explosion of a lantern, Duncan Roe of Sheridan loses a barn,
two sbeds and some minor buildings
by fire. The house and granary
were saved, thanks to the favorable
direction of tbe wind and tbe use of
a sprayer. The fire was started
about 9:30 Sunday evening and the
flames spread so rapidly tbat only a
part of the tools in the barn could be
slotved. The loss wiil foot up somewhere from 81500 to $2000 with an
insurance of only $575.
We Shall Know.
When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills;
We may read love's shining letter
In tbe rainbow of tbe spray,
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning
When the mista have cleared away.
DOING GOOD WORK.
Corporations Employing Experts
To Instruct Farmers.
Corporations come in for their
full share of cussing on all Bides
doubtless, and very likely more or
lesB of this is due them all right.
However, some of them are undertaking things that certainly cannot but
result in much good to the agricultural interests of the country and
thns indirectly benefit all. 'The International HarvesterCo. of Chicago,
for instance, employs Perry G. Holden, the "Corn Wizard" as he is
often called, the man who has perhaps done more than any other man
in this country to improve the corn
crop, to direct campaigns of educa-.
tion among tbe farmers. He is endeavoring in this state to call the attention of farmerB to the importance
of the alfalfa crop. Assisted by
others he arranges a series of meetings in every pection of a county,
then in an automobile tour each
place is reached and addresses made
the evening meetings being made in
the towns.
Now tbe Dnluth, South Shore and
Atlantic railroad employs Prof. Jeffries of "our" Agricultural College to
train the farmers ©£ Upper Michigan
in, the newest and most scientific
farming methods, He has been with
the college 14 years and recognized
as an expert, Doubtless hie services
will be of great valueto that section
of our state.

High Priced Potatoes.
The Northeastern Michigan Devel-
opment Bureau agrees to pay twenty
dollars for the bushel of potatoes,
of any variety, winning first prize at
the States Fair this Fall providing
they are exhibited and grown by a
resident of Northeastern Michigan.
Prizes on potatoes at tbe State Fair
this. Fail have been materially
changed; Instead of giving a prize
as in the past of a few dollars each,
on many different varieties they now
offer for the best bushel of early potatoes; prizes of S20.00, $15.00, 81.0.00,
and three prizes $5.00 each. The
same amounts are offered for tbe
best bushel of late potatoes. This
gives the grower of one or two varieties of potatoes an opportunity to
enter hia potatoes and win a prize
wortb while and then by selling the
buahel to the Development Bureau
for twenty dollars the winner, if
from Northeastern Michigan can get
forty dollars for tbe best bushel of
potatoea at the State Fair.
The Development Bureau ia very
anxious that all these prizes, each
and every one, offered for potatoes
at the State Fair shall be captured
by Northeastern Michigan growers.
We believe Northeastern Michigan
produces the best potatoes, let our
growers prove it.

The Big Ad.
We do not need to call attention
to Bicknell'a big ad in this isaue.
No one could overlook it if he tried
a«nd certainly no one will desire to
do so. Perhaps we are prone to
think of certain portions of the year
as "the dull season," but Mr. Bicknell is not inclined to tolerate anything smacking of dullness around
him.
CANNING FRUITS.
No Preservative Necessary
Food Commissioner.
Says
As the canning season is close at
hand, Commissioner Helme calls attention to the fact that no drug preservatives are necessary for either
fruits or vegetables. An analysis of
one of the compounds that iB widely
advertised shows that it is composed
largely of Boric Acid, a subBtance
that is prohibited by both Federal
and state governments as injurious
to health. Moreover the cost of the
compound is only 17 cents a pound
while it sells for $1.60. Long continued beat will kill all germs without
the use of any chemicals.

Conform to Law.
Lansing, Mich. July 1.—Dairy and
Food Commissioner Helme is preparing to begin his new work as
official sealer of weights and measures when the bill passed at the last
session of the legislature takes effect
August 15,
A set of weights and measures has
been secured by Helme and will be
sent to tbe bureau of standards at

Helme says there is a concern in
this atate that ia doing thriving busi-
nesa turning out "peck measures"
that hold but seven quarts. The inspectors employed by tbe dairy and
food department will make the inspection, but an effort will be made
to' co-operate with the city and
