An Interesting Bank Note.

possession of the Bank of England is
II for f1,00O, which was given by
Alexander scochrane. afterward Lord

flicted upon him some time before the
battle of Waterloo. Cochrane, after
destroying the French fleet in the AK

stock-jobbing fraud, and part of his
sentence was the payment of a fine OF
$1,000. C%ochrane, whose sentence was
years afterward annulled, bitterly ne.
sented his punishment. and when. in
July, 1915, lie rendered the note in pay

Interdependent Pro.perity.

1nterdependent Prosperity.
The railroad news of 1898 and 1899
under the Dingley law offers a striking
contrast to the sort Of railroad news
which was all too common in the years
OF tariff reform and the Wilson-G German
law. Then the regulation railroad news
was the going Of one road after another
into the hands of a receiver. Now near
~ every week brings the report Of the
incorporation of one or more new rail-
road companies. The published reports
of the roads already in existence show
increased earnings and u growing vol
ume of business.
The general prosperity of the rail-
roads goes to make n part of the mass
of evidence, easily obtainable, which
proves that the prosperity which results
from a protective tariff is by no means
limited to those persons who are en-
gagged in industries, the products Of
which are subject to tariff duties. Pro-
lection means prosperity for the whole
country. The industrial system is one
of interdependence and the prosperity
of one branch of industry means the
prosperity of many others.

Erxs for Hatchiny.

While 1t is possible that pullets make
the best layers, and are therefore most
profitable for egg production, it does
not follow that their eggs are best for
increasing the flock. The pullet's egg
is generally understood and does not
sell we'll. But it is worse when used
for setting. as the chick from it will
also be small, and have less vitality
than 1t should. A hen two, three or
four years old will lay eggs that will
produce strong chicks. But If they are
intended for layers 1t is better to have
eggs from ~two-year-old hens, as after
the second year the ability to produce
eggs gradually decreases. But the
eggs from old hens, too old to lay their
best, will produce vigorous chicks that
are as good as the product from two
year-Old hens to make into broilers for

All the hills for tomatoes, cabbages

applied.
If broody hens are properly treated
nine out of ten will begin to lay again
within two weeks after being removed
from the nest. But If they are half
drowned, starved II week, or bruised
and abused, 1t is more than likely they
will get even with their owners by de-
Ginning to lay a single egg until they
have fully recovered from their ILL
treatment and acquired their CUSTOM

Mutton Sheep.

Mutton has become and is fast grow
Ing IN esteem, says q writer In Cole
mans Rural World, SO that though the
wool production is yet largely consid-
cred mutton is also a great item in
sheep raising; hence, with both wool
and mutton us paying productions, the
sheep industry has largely increased,
and many hundreds Of small tiocks are
now found in the Middle West and
Eastern States where sheep have vir-
tually been unknown for years. In the
South, also, sheep breeding has been
receiving much more attention than
formerly. Flocks of common, uncared
for animals have been improved by the
introduction of better blood. The sue
cess met with during the past two
years has caused the addition of hun
dreds of small fiocks in all these Sec
tions where it has been held that sheep
could not be profitably bred.
These changes in sheep raising,
though so great, are in fact only the be-
ginning. The consumption of mutton,
the most healthful of meats, is certain
to increase. The farmer will learn that,
for his w family, mutton is the
cheapest and best meat for his table
and that there will be Il continued
growing demand for mutton in his
local market.

Pruning currant Bushes.

Most growers of currants allow the
bushes to take their own way Of
growth. AS the currant plant is al.
ways produced from cuttings 1T is sure
to send up n number of shoots from
each set, and these quickly make a
mass of shrubbery that keeps the in
side of the bush from receiving enough
sunlight to perfect the fruit. Besides,
where there is II great mass of shrub
berry some of the leaves are likely not
to get thoroughly busted with helle-
bore, and thus allow the currant worm
to perpetuate itself. Some for this
reason advocate reducing the bush to
a single stem. This makes it easy to
control the currant worm and the finest
fruit is thus produced. But just as
good fruit, and greater in amount, can
be grown by leaving two or three
stems. Occasionally a stem breaks
down by accident, and if it is the only
one there is IL gap in the row. Even
If all the single stems remain their
yield cannot be made as great as it
will be by leaving two, three, or per-
haps four to grow from one roofing.

Fewer Failure.

One OF the cOmmerc1al agencies gives
the amount of the failures for the first
three months of this year, as compared
with the figures for the same period in
the three preceding years. The figures
are as follows:
1890 ...... S2G. ESQ., OOl 1907 ...... .S4S, OOS, 900
1888 $1,000. 81, 710,OOOl 1886 ....... 81 ,252,O0O
These are statistics which the ''calam-
ity howlers' do not quote and do MOI re-
fer to, for such statistics record plainly
and pleasantly the existing prosperity
of the country. The difference between
the early months of 1896, when the
Democratic party was preparing to for
mulate it's demand for Il debased cur
rency, when money was scarce and
dear, because public confidence in the
soundness of the currency was shaken,
and the opening months Of 1899. when
money is abundant and cheap and bust.
ness men are filled with confidence, is
like the difference between night and
day.
No Further MeddlinR Wanted.
Nothing is more certain than that the
people have had enough of Democratic
tariff reform to last them for more
than n generation. While the remem-
brance of the panic years from 1893 to
1897 lasts none but theorists and 9TH
ers who have nothing to lose will con-
sent to further meddling with the pro-
tective tariff policy. Few others will
care for more experiments with silver.
Good gold money has become plenty
enough since its standard was estaDy
lished, and it is rapidly becoming plen-
tier. The gold mines of the world are
now turning out more value each year
than mines of both gold and silver pro-
duced together v years ago. Their
output Is increasing. Even the advo-
Gates of fiat money can now get as
much gold as they will work for.-Ta-
