Hundreds of farmers who never kept an &C

This is true. A record, simple to keep so It
would be used and show tho facts in detail,
would prove thrt every hen paid profit. They
could be made to pay, from ono to three dollars
each. Mr.. James L. Burgess, Nashua, N. H.,

wife made clean net profit last year, OF $3.50
for eggs alone. from only sixteen hens. He
thinks her success was largely due, to using

[FIom the London Standard
About year ago some interest was exoit-
ed in London by the reported existence of q
fasting girl at Battersea. Investigation show
ed that this case was much on par with
these is that of the fasting woman of Tut
bury. In the year 1908 woman named Ann
Moore. aged fifty-eight years, living at Tut
bury, asserted that she had lived twenty
months without food. -Four years previous
to this date she had a severe attack of illness,
which lasted thirteen weeks. 4 year later
she was again attacked, and lost both sppe-
tite and digestion. In the year 1906 these
symptoms were intensified by the nursing Of
of a boy affected with 1oathsome disease.
From October in that year to February, 1897,
she is stated to have eaten penny loaf in a
fortnight, and drank a little tea without milk
or sugar, and from that time to October,
1908, to have existed entirely on water and
tea. Eearly in 1909 the case wAs published
tn the New Monthly Magazine; and it created
q great sensation. Donations and subscip-
tions poured in, and for four years Ann
Moore lived upon the money of the Rullible.
At the end of that time, in 1918, few scisn-
tihc gentlemen determined to put her affirm
On powers of fasting to vigorous test. For
ed at the end of that time she gave in, ter
ribIy emaciated- in fact almost starved to
death. Having been carefully fed, she rsviv-
ed, and signed full confession, admitting,
after stimplering the. Divine mercy" that
she had Occasionally taken sustenance dur
ing the last six years." A victim of her par
ents' greed was the Welsh fastinggirl, Sarah
Jacob. She is described as being fair, good
looking child, intelligent and precooious,
impressionable and emotional, fond of fnery,
and accustomed to the reading of religious
books and the reciting and composing of YER
ses; all of which may or may not be true.
She was-when on exhibition-fantasticall
dressed, somewhat after the fashion of a
bride. Her father declared that the girl had
taken no food whatever for two years and
two months. A committee investigated the
the case, with tho unhappy result that
after eight days careful Watching the child
died, and both parents were tried and con-
victed of manslaughter. Ancient and med
laval writer's tells us of many marvellous
instances of abstinence from food. Few of
lfthem, if any, are worthy of credit, Thus
Alberbus Magnus infornae us that he saw q
| woman at Cologne, who often lived twenty,
and sometimes thirty, days without food:
and that he saw an hypochondriacal man,
who lived without food for seven weeks,
drinking only draught of water every other
day. But these were but novices. Citois

FREE TRADE AND OHEAP LABOR.

FREE TRADE AND CHEAP LABOR.
The free traders assure us that all that is
necessary in order that eur manufacturers
may successfully compete in the markets Of
the world is free raw material. Under the
statutes of the country, ninety to one hum
dred per cent. of all duties collected on Ina
ported raw material is returned to those who
manufacture the goods for export. This
puts raw materials, so far as the ssmarkets of
the world" are concerned, practically on the
free list, and gives them nearly all the chance
which the free traders think they ought to
have. And yet there has been no such gain
as we ought to have had, and, in faos, in
most lines the home market is not entirely
supplied, SO that even where We have every
advantage, save that of cheap labor, the for
eign manufacturer can still undsrsell us in
our own markets.
The Bridgeport Standard hits the mark
when it says that cheap foreign labor beats
us whenever We come in contact with it, IN
less our industries are 30 protected that
the difference ia made up to the American
manufacturer. And the Standard continues:
In some lines where American skill and
kcA2us nave HNA OuH kOOAS nAOaA OA tAOoo
abroad, we take the market on the merits of
the manufactured article themselves, bat
where other conditions are equal the low
priced labor drives us out, and we can only
hold eur home market and high wages
through protection. There Is no more start
ling and conclusive illustration of the falsity
of the free raw material argument than we
have in the matter of cotton in this country.
We raise about six million bales annually
this is the freest of all raw material to us,
because it is laid down duty free at our mill
doors, while England must send Tor it and
pay freight before she gets it. If the srgu-
ments of the free traders are correct we
should be able 10 manufacture the greatest
part of our cotton crop, and send it to Eng
land and the markets of the world" instead
of allowing England to take it, make it into
goods and supply the world, including por-
tion of our own homo market. We actually
make up less than hall the cotton We raise.
Cheap labor in England gives her the su-
premacy and until we are willing to put in
our labor at the same rate we must protect
ourselves.
This Is forcible and sensible. Most of the
people of this country do not want cheap
labor, and they understand pretty thorough
ly that that is what free trade means.
