"
Zines Conuootine Farms Can ne strung

There VIII soon be few districts IN
which the Isolation which has so fire.
ouentiy been a drawback to the life Of
4 farmer need longer exist. Even
where better rOeds have not brought
the farms nearer to the pOulated cen
ters. the running of telephone lines has
been much simplihed. In many states
the entire farming class can now COM
municate with each other without be-
influenced by the condition Of the
roads or press Of work. In one section
of New York state ten farmers got to-
pether and constructed q line for inter
communication. They furnished the
tools and did the work themselves, the
expense for wire. instruments and
other necessaries. which was equally
divided among them, being only about
Sf4 a share. Lines even cheaper than
this are now being installed by using
the ordinary barbed wire already on
the farm fences. A good sample Of
this system. which is run by n CalifOr-
MIA land company, is about ten miles
long. Telephone instruments Of the
hest quality are used, and care is taken
that no wire shall have a ground con-
nectiOn. In crossing roads and gates.
where possible. high posts carry the
wire clear overhead, but I'm other cases
t~hree-eighth inch water pipes are laid
under the gates or roads and n we'll in
sulated wire is run through them to
connect the barbed wire on either side.
The ends of the pipe are bent up at the
sides of the gates or roads and filled
in with putty to keep out water. Such
lines will work, In good weather, up to
100 miles. The objection TO them, how
ever, is that when ii is raining the cur
rent has a tendency to run to ground.
So in rainy districts interruptions of
the service may happen any day.

Expansion of Tho EngIIsh Language.

If some recently published statistics
are to be trusted the English language
is developing more than any other, past
OF present. While the German con-
tains $4,000 words, the Italian $4,000,
the French 10000 and the Spanish
only 10000, DR.. Murray's English die
tiOnary is expected to contain no fewer
than 100000 words, more than half Of
which have come into use during the
last half century. A great part Of
these additions are, of course, techni-
cal or scientific terms, which the
wiser German translated.-Pall Mall

A dozen or more Of the As consoi-

recently ordered for use on the south
western division Of the Baltimore q
Ohio Railroad, are In service and are
giving splendid satisfaction. On the
Mississippi division they have in
creased the train haul 40 per cent over
the old line. When the grade reduc-
lions are completed the improvement
will be even more noticeable. The

Secretary Ayers Bed.
ORaltlmore Amerlcan(

When Secretary Alger projected his
famous tour TO our new tropical pos
sessions he made the programme on a
grand scale as he knew the expenses
would be paid by the government. II
was natural for him TO want TO travel
with the greatest amount Of comfort
possible. SO on his orders preparations
were begun TO that end. Secretary Alger
objected to berths. and wanted such a
bed as he was accustomed 10 on land
Two Of the finest staterOoms in the vessel
were selected, the partitions were torn
down, and in the new stateroom a hand
some iron bedstead was placed. Painters
and decorators were busily al work beau
tifying the double apartment when the
telegram came abandoning the trip. Then
the partition was replaced; the handsome
bedstead was carried away. and the
steamship resumed her place in the trans
port service.
Ii IS not right 20 make fun Of the Sec
rotary for desiring comfortable bed
The bed on which he has been reposing
for some time has not been pleasant, and
the discomforts OF IL increase all the time
every day. Now the news comes that
either Alger must be forced out OF the
Cabinet or McKinley's reelection will be
impossible. The Republican leaders are
working TO get him out. but the President
is standing by him. IL is stated that a
final and a very vigorous attempt will
be made next week. In some respects the
President is 10 be commended for the per
sonal friendship that sticks to a member

fair TO the country that he should carry

certainly Use the President many thou

duced Last Year Fully S29O,OoO,ooo'
(Chicago Chronicle)

(ChiCagO CnIOnlcIeD
PHI Sprague. Chicago poultry dealer
read a paper before the farmers insi-
tute at Princeton Wednesday, IN which
he stated that the production Of chick
ems I'm the United States last year reach
cd $50 OO0 OO0 and Of eggs l3cOWOVO Inc
total value Of chickens and eggs produced
was $500 coo 900 Accepting these figures as
approximately correct, we must conclude
that the hen plays an important part IN
our American life But we will better
understand the relative importance or
that part when we come 10 make some
comparisons.
The value Of our tobacco crop has rare
~ been as much as 100000 The value
OF our potato crop is less than $OW.OOO
on the average. The value OF our barley
crop is not often as much as $4,000 0C0.
An oat crop worth $4,000 900 is unusual.
our annual output OF pig-iron has rarely
exceeded $l3O. 10000 in value. Coal, by
far the most valuable Of our mineral
products. gives total annual output or
some 500 O0OVO.
Raw cotton. wheat hay. and corn are
the only four products OF our country
that exceed in value hens and hens eggs,
according TO the above estimate. and cot
ton sometimes follows the latter In the
order Of Importance. the crop having eX-
ceeded 1920 600 900 I'm value only three times
ard the highest having been not quite
$50 0000 00 The wheat crop has ranged
in value from 1913 900 600 10 $5l3 900 600. and
the corn crop from about $40 900 600 20
SIS 900. 900 The average value Of the hay
crop may be stated at about $500 O000 900.
From this comparison the importance OF
the hen especially I'm our agricultural
economy, will be appreciated.
II Mr.. Sprague stated the value Of the
egg product separately the fact IS not re-
ported. 1t would be interesting TO know
the value Of the egg output. Probably it
exceeds the value Of any mineral output
excepting coal. but not excepting pig-iron
Probably. too II exceeds the value Of any
farm crop except corn, wheat. hay. cot
ton. and oats. and fl may even exceed
oats The hen is by no means TO be
despised.
