cases are delayed three Or four years;
II amounts almost to . denial Of
Justice. and litigants have reason to
congratulate themselves that In the
Michigan court no such delays new
occur.
A great improvement has been made
also In the method Of handling cases.
The opinions handed down are no long
er one-man opinions. Under the old
practice, when the judges resided
away from the capital, they met either
Monday night or Tuesday morning.
and without any preparation Of tho
cases, or previous knowledge Of them,
heard the arguments, assigned cases to
the judges who were to write the
opinions, and went home Friday night.

write, and not having opportunity to
consult the others when any doubtful
question arose.
Now the judges all live at Lansing
and examine every case. looking over
the briefs and records before Ii Is
argued. After the arguments they,
together. take up the records and
briefs again, and examine the author
tiles, so that each Judge has an under
standing Of every case. and they agree
as nearly as may be upon affirming or
reversing the decisions Of the lower
courts. Where case Ia in doubt on
one or more OF the questions involved,
they each make an examination Of
those questions, and then the case Is
assigned to one Of the judges to be
written. As soon as an opinion Is
written q copy Is made and served up
on each Judge, so that all have oppor-
tunity to examine the opinions, in
connection with the records and briefs.
before they meet for the final CONSUL
tation, and for attaching their sigma
lures to the decisions.
All this takes more work than che
former method. but II gives more
thorough study Of each case than was
ever attempted until recent years. In
this laborious examination Of every
case that comes up, Judge Long has
done his full share with thorough
study and with conscientious care.

Judge LOnE's Pension.

The pension case Of Judge Long has
attracted a great deal OF attention In
the past three years. BY a ruling Of
Commissioner Lochren the action Of q
former commissioner was set aside
and. Judge Longs pension was re-
duced without hearing and without
previous notice. Against this arbitrary
and unjust procedure he made a stub
born fight, carrying the case through
the lower courts up to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States.
The retirement Of Commissioner Loch-
rem, which was FASTENED by the odium
that was attached to his course in
this matter. prevented q decision on the
merits of the case. But Mr.. Longs
vigorous prosecution OF 1t brought out
80 clearly the principles involved that
bill was introduced In Congress to
prevent the reopening Of a pension
case, once decided, except upon alle-
cations Of fraud, and the present COM
missioner has not In any case set aside
the rating under which a pension was
granted by any OF his predecessors.
There were other cases similar to
Judge longs, and he is entitled to the
gratitude Of thousands Of his COM
rades for his plucky fight. Fer in this
fight he was acting in behalf OF all
those whose pensions were liable to DO
arbitrarily reduced by the rulings OF an
unfriendly commissioner long after
the original proofs OF their Injury in
the service were beyond their reach.

Tho Round silo.

In The New England Homestead it is
told that two brother farmers have sue
ceeded with two round silos. These are
about 10 feet in diameter and SO feet
deep. They are made of one inch hem
lock boards, jointed and set up; they are
hoped with ~ by one-quarter inch
fiat iron welded into hoops of equal
length, put on quite thick and nailed
from the inside to each hoop and clinch-
cd over the hoop. When empty, you
put your hand on top Of one of the
slaves, and it will seem as if the thing
would shake to pieces and you can look
through it between each board; when
filed, the moisture swells the boards
and makes them water tight, and they
say it keeps every pound perfectly good,
except on the top, where there will be
some loss. as in every silo.

EXPORTS or MANUFACTURES.

It Is quite true that our exports Of
manufactured goods have increased
since 1898, as shown in the foregoing
table.
After the advent of the Democratic
free trade paralyzed our industries,
while the enactment of the German bill
of 1894 killed them. Manufacturers had
been keeping their mills open and max
ing goods, hoping against hope for the
better times that never came. They
were compelled to realize upon the un-
sold output of their mills, and shipments
were made to the markets of the world,
more often than not at loss to the pro-
Queer. That was part Of our "object
lesson" in capturing the markets of the
world.
You state that SIC. 900, 900 of the to-
tai gain Of $40, 900, 600 in exports of
manufactures over 1899 lis partly ex-
planned in copper ingots and mineral
oil, which are not highly finished prod
ucts." This is not quite correct, for The
Journal Of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin gives this gain of SIS, 900
only since 1894, not since 1892. Our
exports of refined mineral oils and cop
per ingots during the first ten months
of 1899 and 1894 compare as follows:
Ten months to Oct. 81
Exports Of 1892 1905.
Refined mineral oils. $31, 3l9,070 s47, 900
Copper ingots.......... 2,69O,428 200
Totals ................ $54, 0O9, 498 s700 coo
The increase in the exports of these
two manufactures" called-was
S36, 900. 900 in ten months of this year,
as compared with the corresponding ten
months of 1892. Deduoting this $780,
000,0 from the total increase of $780,
100000 leaves only $84, 900, 900 addi-
tional increase in four years to be divid-
ed among every other class of more
legitimate manufactures; therefore the
gain has not been SO very great after all,
especially when we consider that our
own markets were practically closed to
rs in some lines of goods this year and
our manufacturers were compelled either
to shut up or attempt to capture the
markets Of the world, and possibly at a
loss to themselves.

DISK OR CUTTING HARROWS.
Facts Concerning These Implements.
Faults OF Some Harrows.


Faults OF Some Harrows.
The cutting harrows have reduced
the cost of preparing land for seeding
very materially. They save the use of
the breaking pillow to considerable ex.
tent, and leave a finer and firmer seed
bed than is often possible after the
ground has been broken in the old way.
Soils differ so in texture that no general
rules may be laid down, but a contrib
utor to The Farm and Fireside calls at
tention to the fact that these harrows
are far better adapted for use in natural
ly loose than tight soils, though they
are being used in clays oftentimes, to
Escape the clods that would result from
breaking the land. In the clays and clay
loans they make fine surface, giving
the ground very superficial prepara-
tion, and the soil few inches below
the surface is left in bad condition for
good crop results. We may confound
firm seed bed with hard one. While
we do not want one that is very loose,
1t should be sufficiently so to permit air
to enter freely and surplus water to es-
cape. The authority quoted adds:
If soil is hard packed, it needs
breaking and then thorough crushing;
pulverization of the surface of an IN
plowed field by disk harrow is INSULT
cient. Living as / do where these har-
rows have been the chief dependence in
preparing land for wheat, am sure
that yields have been lessened in many
cases by the compactness Of the seed bed
below the surface Plants were stunted
and frozen out when pulverization of
the soil to depth of six inches would
have saved them. These harrows are
all right in their place, but their place
is in ordinarily loose soils and not in
compact clays, where 80 many are in
clined to use them to escape olods
There are numerous styles of cutting
harrows. do not propose to recon-
mend any particular make, but some
are constructed ON faulty principle.
AS we know, all draw hard. But some
harrows are much more wearing on
team than Others Many manufacturers
have made the mistake of attaching the
gang rods to the pole, thus causing
downward pull on the pole. They I'M
dertake to counterfeit this effect by plac-
ing the doubletrees under the pole and
claim that in this way the weight is
kept off the top of the horses necks 1t
may be In some cases, but have never
seen harrow constructed in this way
that did not let the weight come on the
horses necks when turning at a corner,
and this sinks the collars, let's the draft
come on the point of the shoulders, and
the team is not only wearied by the
hard turning, but shoulders are bruised.
The rational way is to have the pole for
guidance only, having it attached to the
harrow Independently Of the gang rods
and have the doubletrees attached di-
rect to the frame. No weight can then
come on top of the horses shoulders,
and the hitch is similar to that of
breaking pillow. The pole should be SO
attached that no tilt Of the harrow can
put any weight upon it.

The New Candidate for n.~...

Mr.. Chas. ID. Lawton, Of Van Buren,
county, the second nominee for regent
or the University, has had a varied
experience, both in educational and
business matters. He was borne In
Rome, N. Y. in 1885, fitted for college
at Auburn Academy. and graduated
from Union College, Schenectady, N.
T., After graduation he was princi-
pal Of Auburn Academy, and then
superintendent Of schools In that city.
His father had before this acquired a
large tract Of land In Van Buren, coun-
ty, Mich, and laid out the town of
Lawton, and to this place the son
moved In 1865. He was instrumental
In establishing furnace there for
making charcoal pig Iron, and was in
terested In this enterprise as long as
1t lasted. When he came from New
York state he brought with him 5000
grape cuttings, planted the first vine
yard and set out the first fruit orchard
In that vicinity. He has been engaged
in fruit culture ever since, and now,
out of his farm of 300 acres, 30 Is de-
voted to fruit. Lawton Is one OF the
best fruit growing towns In that Sec
tion. often shipping ~ to IL car loads
a day during the season.
In 1860 Mr.. LawtOn was appointed
assistant professor of engineering in
Michigan University, hut stayed there
only two years, as he found more pro-
dtable and equally attractive occnpa-
ton with the state geological survey,
to which he was attached ms a mining
expert. He helped prepare the report
on the Marquette mining district Ia
1879 and 1873 Four years later when
the office Of commissioner OF mineral
statistics was established. he took
charge Of the office as assistant and
continued In that work till 1888 He
was appointed commissioner of min
eral statistics by Governor Alger In
1885. This position he held for six
years under Governors Niger and
Luce.
Mr.. Lawton has thus been Identified.
