If the big coal carrying companies fall

nation contained pertains to 14S es-

All the data included, except those for
mining, relate to manufacturing indus
tries, the data relative to steam rail-
roads and street railways having been
excluded from the summary. The bull

the table of wages was prepared do not

calculation of relative wages careful

For most ofns il pays better to raise
eggs for market than to raise fowls or
broilers. In raising eggs one has a
long, steady market, but for fowls and
spring chickens the Same is not al
ways true. Besides, after we have
raised n chicken for eggs, and she has
done the best she can in laying eggs,
we can kill her and find market at
some price for her. The question of
profits then is merely a relative matter
of cost OF feed and price for eggs. II
good prices eau be obtained for tho
sggs large profits are realized, but low
prices probably mean loss. Conse-
luently we must figure out how to get
good prices. One located long dis
lance from a good market, where land
cheap and plenty, would find egg
raising as profitable as breeding fancy
fowls or spring chickens. The eggs
hat come from great distance are
generally marked seconds or culls,
and they sell at such low prices that
the producers cannot receive much
for them. Only bakers and confec'
TONERS will buy these poor eggs, and
they are sold by the case, and not
even by the dozen.

The pasturing of dock on farm
is one of the most effective and i'm
portant ways of improving field.
And in the general rotation of crops
it should be made special part of it
to have tho land under the sleeps
feet one year out of the number in the
rotation followed. The profit from
the use of the land will be moro than
can be made in any other way. The
land is improved; troublesome weeds
will be got rid of and turned to good
use, and the condition of the field will
be better in every way. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that farmers on this continent
do not realize the truth of this. 1t is
the sheep of Great Britain and Ire
land, of Germany ami France, indeed,
of all European countries, which have
made the average yield of tho crops
twice as much as that of our fields.
