1t is in order to inquire how many
States in the North have done such d
thing. OF all States in the South
Louisiana would doubtless be the last
to receive credit for such a move
ment, and yet Louisiana has evident
ly taken hold of the race problem and
the difficulty of solving it while other
sections ar talking it over. The act
is highly hopeful sign, as it sug
gests an ignoring of race prejudices
that is very significant.

AT the agriculture experiment

At the agriculture experiment sta
tion of Maine State College, observa-
tions covering the period of growth
of four years have shown that the
excess of moisture in forest above
that Of open field averages 10 per
cent, reaching IA per cent. in the
middle of the day. The excess would
undoubtedly be greater in very
dense forest. The presence of
patches of forest in any region exerts
a marked influence on the Microscopic
conditions Of the atmosphere, and
this condition, in turn, is an import
ant factor in the growth Of vegeta-
ton.

EVEN within year past, when
times have been hard, many thou
sands of Canadians have come to this
country in search Of employment,
which they have generally been able
to find in Eastern manufacturing
places and in the lake regions. The
rural Canadians make good farm
hands, but they demand higher
wages than landowners are willing to
pay, more than twice as high as they
could get in any Of the provinces Of
Canada, where both hay and proven
der are poor on the farms. Most of
the French Canadians who come to
this country are able to speak Eng
lish, a language which is held in scorn
by the Frenchmen Of France.

THE BEEF INDUSTRY.
Some Inter esting Figures Upon Its Growth
and Profits

Some Inter esting Figures Upon Its Growth
and Profits.
The growth of beef packing opera
tions in the United States has been
largely increased in late years, chiefly
incident to the business Of pork pack
ing. Exact satisfies have not been
made available with reference to this
industry. The introduction of refrig-
orator cars for the safe transporta-
tion Of fresh product has effected
great changes in the beef trade of
the larger towns and cities through
out the country, the local killing of
animals giving way in great meas
ure to the more economical methods
reflected by the dressed meat opera
tions of large concerns.
Cattle killing for commercial sup
plies of beef is chiefly prosecuted at
Chicago, Kansas City, St Louis and
Omaha, with considerable in the az
gregate at other places. The total
number of cattle killed in the four
centers IN 1880, was about $50, 900;
in 1885, it had advanced to l, 45O, 600:
subsequent years showed an impor-
tant increase, reaching total of 3d.
5000, in 1890; the following year
no gain was shown, but there was d
fair increase in 1892, and 1893, reach
ing a total in excess Of 10000 in
the latter year. These figures, while
they embrace animals slaughtered for
local requirements, are instructive
AS illustrating the important extern
ton of beef production for CONNER
cial distribution in these centers.
The expectation of teef has great
ly enlarged in late years, although
the total for 1893 was decidedly re-
duced in comparison with several
years previously. In 1890 the total
reached 398, 600, 900 pounds, the max
imum recorded: for ten years ending
with 1892, the annual average was
261, 900, 900 pounds; in 1893 it was
300, 600, 900 pounds, having value
Of nearly S35, 1000, 900; the annual
average exports for ten years ending
with 1892 was s21, 900, 000

THERE is bright prospect ahead
for the farmers of the nation. Crops
are reported as being in good condi-
tion from nearly every section Of the
country. This means that the farmer
will have his full share of whatever
good comes to us in this year, and
will not have reason for complaint,
all things considered. Even though
prices rule low, there will be bread
to eat and clothes to wear for all
who till the soil. This we have to
be thankful for, and it is great deal.

A WESTERN exchange says that
Iowa farmers during the past few
years have found clover seed their
most paying crop, some receiving
more for the seed per acre than the
land itself cost. At this rate it pays
better to raise clover for seed than for
any other purpose, and the seed is a
better crop than anything else the
farmer can raise. There are very few
articles which will pay as much as the
land is worth, and clover seed will
not do this when farmers generally
raise it,

Bushels of Marbles.

Most Of the stone marbles used by
boys are made in Germany. The
refuse only of the marble and agate
quarries is employed, and this is
treated in such a way that there is
practically no waste.
Men and boys are employed to
break the refuse stone into small
cubes and with their hammers they
acquire a marvellous dexterity. The
little cubes are then thrown into a
mill consisting of a grooved bedstone
and a revolving runner. Water is
fed to the mill, and the runner is
rapidly revolved, while the friction
does the rest.
In half an hour the mill is stopped
and bushel or SO of perfectly round
ed marbles taken out The whole
process costs the merest trife.
