THE SALEM PLAN

chicago Daily Record Editorial FEB. :. 1900
The City Of Salem, Or, has tried an
experiment in municipal finance that
is deservingof imitation by other cities
of the country. a large part Of the
debt Of Salem was recently refunded on
the J"pularloan plan, somewhat after
the governments popular loan 10 secure
funds for the prosecution Of the Span.
ish American war. The Salem plan has
features, however, which make it pref
erable TO the plan pursued by the fed
eral government in placing lie bonds
among the people.
The reiunding bonds Of the City Of
Salem are per cent call bonds,
payable on or before 10 years from the
date Of issue. The bonds range from $50
to $500 in denomination. The interest
II payable In salem, instead Of at some
outside financial center. The issue was
subscribed four times over. The small.
est subscriptions we're filed first. II
this plan is adhered 10 In further bond
issues, ~ II probably will be, the out.
standing bonds OF the City OF Salem
soon will all be distributed among the
citizens Of that place, a fact which
must have a beneficial influence on the
local government, ~ well as on the peo-
l'le themselves.
While the popnlaf-loan plan Of The
federal government was much com.
mcnded, there was one feature at least
which invited some criticism. The
fonds were 30 year per cents, and the
smallest subscribers were given the
privilege Of taking them at par. Now
the bonds could have been sold TO bid. !
ders al q figure considerably above par.

per cent. Thus tho government was a

The Kieffer Pear,

A Mr.. Denise stated before the New

1000 trees ten years from the bud,
and they We're as large as Bartletts
twenty-five years old 1t is the most
vigorous grower in the pear line,
healthy and productive, good to handle
when fit to pick, hangs on well, and not
liable to blow off. The fruit is evenly
distributed, and should be thinned to
save the tree from breaking down.
Its beauty sells it. One hundred trees
produced 191 barrels, sold for $24S.30;
$40 trees and 8 years old, produced
791 barrels, which sold for $102S.30.
His average price was $1.30 per barrel,
clear of all expense. This was not a
remarkably large story, larger ones
had been recorded, but his were actual
facts taken from his books, and he
was well satisfied. If setting an
orchard now, would set one Bartlett
to 800 Kieffer in 1000 trees. He said
nothing of the quality; he grew them
for the dollars he could get out of
them. His profit was what he was

Blood VIII Tell.

There is a trite saying, not a new
one, but full of meaning, BLOOD will
tell" This refers to the human race,
to breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, etc.
In common parlance it is good blood,
superior blood, that tells, and it tells"
for good. If bad blood is introduced
what is the consequence? Does not
this tell another story? A little in
ferior yeast may spoil one batch of
bread, but that is the end-there Is no
hereditary descent. In poultry raising,
the introduction of a mongrel, or an
inferior male to the flock, may lower
the standard in that flock. causing bad
points to crop out for years.
Now, your domestic poultry should
be subjected to the process of artificial
selection-that is, to your selection.
Reserve only your best birds to sell
for breeding stock. You can get more
money for ten prime, well plumed,
clean limbed. fine formed, handsome
specimens, than you can for forty Of
the average second or third rate birds
you may chance to have reared. Clean
them out, and thus help to avoid the
extension of imperfect blood which
may show itself il your yards. By
this means alone-to wit, breeding
from the choicest and fittest-can we
approach toward perfection is a rule.

Angora Goats and Mohair.

These goats furnish what is known
commercially as mohair, and there are
several factories in the United States
using this product exclusively in the
manufacture of plush goods and the
like. The plush coverings on the
seats of Pullman cars and other public
conveyances are made of mohair,
which is the most durable of animal
fabrics. Texas raises the staple in
considerable quantities. About 2,000,-
600 pounds of mohair are used annual
ly in America, NEST of which comes
from Turkey ana South Africa, as the
present home production is only about
one-fourth of the consumption. This
emphasizes the fact that the raising
of Angora goats is far from being
overdone in this country.

Old Diggers Say There Is Regular
KIondike There.

Gold is now being found in large
quantities at Hokkaido, in the prov
ince of Kitami in Japan. A territory
embracing six hundred and fifty
square miles, the central point of
which is Mount Horo- Noborn, is being
worked and with such splendid results
that old diggers have styled it the
gold is found in little pools and
streams, which have their source IN
Mount Horo-Noborn
Until recently there was only
small village in this district, the in
habitants of which numbered about
four hundred, whereas today there
is a flourlshing city with a population
of more than eight thousand AS to
the exact yield of gold up to the pres
ent it Is not easy to obtain reliable
for the reason that the diggeJs are
very reticent on the subject evidently
fearing that if their good fortune be-
comes generally known, a host of ad-
venturers will flock to Hokkaido from
all parts of the world. 1t Is certain.
however, that one company, which
has been buying gold from the ,liggers
has exported nine hundred kilo-
grammes of the pure metal within the
past nine months.
The gold is obtained in the most
primitive manner and much more east.
ly than is the case in other we'll
known gold fields. The climatic con-
ditions at Hokkaido are also excep-
tiOnally favorable for this work. The
right to search for gold can be pur-
chased from the government for a
small sum, yet it is said that many of
the present diggers have paid nothing
and that the ten policemen who are
empowered to sell concessions find it
impossible to collect cent from many
of those who are daily gathering up
gold from the beds of the small pools
and streams-N Herald

Water for Fowl.

If food is not furnished the hen in
her own domain, she will go hunting,
and soon find enough to keep her busy;
but she is not so successful in getting
water to drink. The farmer or his
wife will usually provide some feed,
but "biddy" many times takes her
chances to find water. Yet chemists
state that eighty-four per cent of the
egg is water. In view of this. fowls
to lay well must be furnished with an
abundance of fresh water. Drinking
vessels should be thoroughly cleansed
every day, and if possible, so made
that the hens cannot stand in them.
In winter these drinking vessels
should be emptied at night to prevent
freezing 1t is advisable to give fowl
warm drink in the morning when
they first come from the roosts. as at
this time they usually drink freely.
If you will practice this the hens will
come for water as quickly as for feed.

Differences in Cows and Cow Owners.

During the summer of 1898 the
Kansas agricultural college made an
investigation of the patrons of the
Meriden creamery to ascertain the in
come they were realizing per COW for
milk sold to the creamery. The poor
est herd averaged per cow $7.54 annu-
ally and the best one $500, making
a difference of $34.55 per cow Taking
the poorest five herds the average per
COW is 1914 and for the best five
1874, difference of S24.30 or 257 per
cent. Where records have been kept
it has been found that it takes from
$50 to $50 to pay for keeping COW.
1t will be thus seen that as far as milk
is concerned the cows from the poorest
herds are running their owners in
debt, the only redeeming feature be-
ing the value of the calf produced.
These figures illustrate very clearly
the need and likewise the possibility
of materially increasing the income
from the dairy COW.

To BE Successful You Mu.t he Thoroughly
Equipped for the Venture.
A lot of people rush into the poultry
business without &ny capital or eX-
perience, and the consequence iS-fail-
ure. They read of the success of
others, and imagine they can do as
well, without consI' .erng for one mo-
ment that they are not equipped for
the venture. So many people start out
on scale that is nothing short of
ridiculous. We have known men to
quit jobs and start in the poultry
business with hardly enough money
on hand to pay for one months pro-
visions. expecting to make living out
of the business from the start. To the
amateur poultryman we have this to
say: Do not quit your job and expect
to make living with poultry the first
year: for if you do you are certain at
the end of the year to be among those
who swear that there is nothing in
keeping chickens.
The best way to start in the poultry
business on large scale is to start
with only few. learn all you can
about chickens, and then try to breed
all the good birds you can take care
of without crowding. the first year.
If, at the end of the year. you are
satisfied to go ahead. and have enough
money on hand to get everything ready
for larger breeding flock las well as
to carry you through the year for the
necessaries of life, then you might
quit your job and start in.

There are few farmers who rightly
estimate the poultry and eggs that are
produced on the farm. If they study
the matter up, they will find that the
hens in the barn yard pay more for
the food they consume than almost
anything else, in fact, except the in
dispensible horse, whose value is hard
to compute, being so much depended
upon. The farmer can keep a hen for
less than fifty cents per year, This
has been proved time and again, and 1t
is poor sort of a hen that will not
produce ten dozen eggs a year. The
average price is about ten cents q
dozen. Allowing the cost of keeping
is fifty cents. and that eggs average
eut ten cents dozen the year through,

IL United States is fast becoming a

Ga. - the wnol 'someness of poultry
ald the relative cheapness of eggs as
compared with meats, are becoming
better understood all the time, and the
result is that the demand for poultry
and eggs grows nearly as fast as the
supply is increased and the average
rises slowly yer by year. No one need
hesitate about go ng into the business
of raising poultry from any fear that
there will be an over supply. A low
price always meets an increased de-
mand, and this fosters an appetite for
eggs and poultry. which is satisfied
when eggs go UP again, and the bust
ness keeps on growing. 1t will keep
on indefinitely, for poultry can and
will be kept with profit when the coun-
try is much more thickly populated

SpanIsh Peaches.

Over two hundred years ago the
Spaniards introduced the peach tree
into Texas, and seedlings were raised
from these continuously, until a race
has been produced which appears to
be entirely free from all diseases
which seem to be connected with trees
raised in other sections.
Seedlings of these old Spanish
side with the others, last number of
years, free from all disease, while
those introduced from the North are
short-lived and soon disappear. There
is no doubt from these facts, that
whole races may become enervated
from some popularity in the method
of cultivation, or from conditions of
climate.

The first requisite in turkey raising
is good stock. Tie fowls should be
healthy, of good shape, with heavy
bodies and not too much leg; the hens
either one or two years old. If Older
the eggs are few er IN number and
more likely to haze soft shells. The
gobbler should be well matured and
weigh not less thi n IS or 20 pounds

selected from the same flock. AS to
color, one may choose according to
