his Sabbath journey to the Monumental

this change to our account, he evens matters
up by euloglzing the character of our thirst.
Of IL he says: "his thirst is the hungriest in

A theory as to the cause of the present
scarcity of freight cars is advanced by gen
tleman WHO has close connection with man
ufacturing industries. He claims that while
the railways may not have quite cars enough
the fault is chiefly due to new methods OF
handling raw mateaial at mills and furnaces
Formerly, coal, coke and limestone for
furnace use were uploaded IN the yards,
forming large piles. Laborers would shovel
the raw material into buggies and wheel 1t
to the lift Now all this is changed. Fur
mace operators have discovered that it does
not pay to do any more shovelipg and lifting
of raw material than is absolutely necessary.
The cost of production has very nearly
reached what Carnegie terms the irreduciblc
minimum, and the CORNERS" in these days
of trusts, when big earnings must be made in
order to pay dividends on inflated capitals,
must he closely watched
Now, coal, coke, oar and limestone are
usually loaded into large hoppers, or bins, so
constructed that the operation of lever
opens gate and allows portion of their
contents to escape into buggy. Operators
do not wish material delivered faster than 1t
can be used, for the reason that it would then
have to be unloaded in piles, and would re-
quire more handling. As consequence,
only small stocks are kept on hand, the re-
serve stocks being small Producers of raw
material used formerly to unload large stocks
at furnaces IN times of stagnatlon, thus re.
ducing the pressure when times became
brighter. A fixed number of cars is kept in
steady use in hauling material OF course,
! this theory does not account for the entire
shortage, but it explains one of its causes

KEEP THE FARM NEAT.

It is a pleasure in riding through
the country to find tidy farm and
tidy farm buildings, and we are in
clined to think that the farmers who
are prosperous are generally known
by this sign. The profit in many kinds
of business is found in the manage
ment of little matters overlooked by
the hasty and careless person, and
the same is true in farming matters.
A correspondent of Prairie Farmer
says when a tidy farm is found,
with fences in good order, buildings
looking neat and trim, trees trimmed
and clean, we know the resident is a
man who takes pride and interest in
his farming, and that it pays him to
do so. It takes but few days each
year to keep the brush cut away from
the fences; to nail up board here
and there that may have become loos-
ened; to keep the fence up straight
with no weak places to tempt stock
to break through into the owners or
neighbours fields of grain OR grass; to
pun UuO 1IuplGmOuUS uuO0F SQ0IU0r
when not in use; to pick up boards
lying around the barn and house; to
trim the fruit trees and cut out old
dead or dying branches; to NOW the
lawn at least once a year; to arrange
all gates so they will freely swing on
their hinges; to have we'll kept gar
den; good supply of small fruit; the
pump in good working order; a good
supply of dry wood under shelter; to
keep the roadside clean and bushes
cut; to clean out all bitches, and to
look after the stock frequently and
carefully, all these things take but
little time at the proper time and they
increase the cash value of the farm
If we have in the past neglected these
things, let us resolve to do differently.
Possibly we will not have SO many
leisure hours, but we will be adding
to the looks and worth of our earthly
possessions and to our standing as
men and farmers.
