Sharing Profits with workmen.
New YORK Tribune.

New YORK Tribune.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad has generously decided to share
a part Of tie proceeds OF its increased
prosperity with its engineers and iremen
and is raising wages and reducing hours
of work. This is a praise worthy policy
aud it sets an admirable example for i'm
itation on the part OF other lourishing
corporations which are taking in large
profits.

The Farmer in the Ascendeut.
Aberdeen News,

AU9TUsEU NEWst
The thoughtful man draws no evil
augury from the fact that the census
returns disclose that the population OF
the cities is Increasing more rapidly in
proportion than the population on the
farms. Farming was never more remu-
neratiye than il is now, but the introduce
tion Of machinery makes larger farms
possible and reduces The number of farm
hands. Under the new way Que man
will cultivate ten times the area that he
could cultivate twenty years ago. Com
paratiyely speaking, the farmer is no
longer a laborcr, but a mechanic, a
scientist and a man oil affairs.

WHEN MEN MISS SUCCESS.
IdIeusas and Incompctency Keep the
business Novice Down.

BuSircss Novice Down.
Walter Il. Phillips, the founder of the
national newspaper corporation Known
as the United Press, ANA the inventor
of Phil p5' Geographic code, Il typical.
energetic American. who has pat many
young men in the news gathering buSi-
ness, believes that the OF failure
everywhere among young business be-
ginncrs lies in Incompetence.
Nine-teEths of the young men who
are struggling for n name and place in
the world are untitled for the cal!ingS
they have picked outforthcmselves. Be-
sides an unlimited supply of energy
and whole heartednesS in tire work be-
fore him, the successful man Of the
future must know his business from
A TO Y.
The next great drawback to success
is idleness. Nothing worth while is
accomplished without work. and plenty
of it. Things do not happen without
a cause, and behind every great life
there are years of concentrated energy
and ~tlreless industry. Idleness will
make any man Il Iallufe, lnteiilSent
work will land any man among the
successful. 1t is all so simple and so
trite that one hesitates TO put the fact
down in cold blood, and yet how few
men recognize, or, recognizing. live up
to the axiom that labor conquers all
things.
Idleness and the consciousness OF in
competency should make any man
ashamed Of himself and drive him 10
do something that Is worth the doing.
II Is within the grasp of every one to
learn some enc thing that will yield
both pleasure and profit. Success
comes only to those who seek ii.
The young man who Is really In
earnest will not have to be advised
how TO succeed. lie may learn much
by studying the failures Of others. how
ever, and he will always. find. after a
survey of the great legion OF the un-
successful, that two causes have
brought them to their present misery

UNCLE SANS CHEESE.

Cheeses Z LimburSer.
The New York state agricultural de-
partment furnishes seine interesting
information about cheese making. The
foreign trade is one Of great inpor-
lance to the cheese makers Of this
country, although far from being as
important as it was years ago. The
year 1880 was the year Of high tide in
our exports Of cheese, which rose at
that time to 14S,0O0,000 pounds. Since
then Canadian exports have increased
and these Of the United States have di-
minished until in the year ending April
30, 1890, they amounted in round num-
bers to only 24,000,00o pounds. Last
year. however, they rose to 30.000.000
pounds, and the result was that the
cheese market was higher and makers
were more prosperous than for n num-
Der Of years previously. In the present
season. frem May 1 to Sept. %. there
have been exported S,o4l,000 pounds
more than In the same period last year,
and prices have averaged still better.
In fact, a good foreign demand In tue
spring and summer Is pretty sure to
mean prosperity TO the cheese dairy
men. as those are the seasons of heav-
lest production and highest consump-

ton In this country. and it would be
difficult to dispose Of the stock without
this foreign trade. The export business
virtually sets the price of cheese down
to Sept. l. Then home trade steps in
and regulates values for the rest of the
season.
The cheese referred to is known as
American Cheddar cheese, but there is
a considerable amount of fancy
cheese also manufactured In the En-
plre State. The varieties made are
Neuchatel. cream. Brie. D'Isigny,
Hand. Munster. Kummel, L.iederkranz.
Kappel, Canembert. English dairy.
Stilton and pineapple. In addition
there Is q considerable number of es-
Establishments devoted to the production
Of Swiss and Limburser cheese. The

being n somewhat mildcr product than
Its foreign original. suits the taste Of
American Germans better and has al
most wholly driven ont the imia,rted
article. The make of Neucliatrl AID
cream cheeses is largely in excess Of
the other fancy varieties. most OF
which require a long time To cure prop
erly. This does hot suit the impaticnce
OF the American Gairymea. who wants
his money as soon AS he can get X. But
Neuchatel and cream being soft
