Rival of the American Hog.

Statistics, that have just reached the
Treasury Department at Washington,
show that the American hog has a Eu-
ropean rival. Denmark has come into
the field as producer and exporter of
hogs and hog products, with growth
at least interesting, If not suggestive,
to American producers of commodity
whose export value grew from Ss4, 9oS,-
sos in 1891 to l19. 95l, ,503 in 1901. Hog
products form the largest single item
in the expectations of the United States,
having exceeded last year by 81, 600, 900
those of manufactures of iron and steel,
whose exports have attracted SO much
attention.

Care Of Sheep During Winter.

1t is mistake to think that a straw
stack is sufficient protection, and that
the sheep can pick from.it all the food
they need during the winter. Is it any
surprise the sheep kept in this way are
a disappointment, and the owner says
that sheep do not pay? For in the
spring the sheep that remain alive to
tell the tale will probably have lost
about half their wool, and the little
that remains will be of very poor quail
ty. They need protection from the
cold winter storms, but the buildings
need not be expensive nor too warm;
all that is needed is to keep them dry
and sheltered from the winds.

AMERICAN LABOR
IS FAR SUPERIOR
Better Work Done Here Than in
England.

o. S, Journal.
AT the regular meeting of the Car
penter Contractors Association, held
in the Builders Exchange on Friday
evening, an address was made by Rich
ard Plimmer, member of the organ
ization, upon his recent trip to En-
gland. The attendance was large.
Mr.. Plimmer, who is native of En-
gland, gave graphic description of
his trip. He dealt chiefly with the
labor conditions, especially in the
building trades. He stated that
the method of erecting buildings is far
inferior to that in this country, and
gave detailed account of the manner
in which scaffolding is erected. He said
that it took contractor one year to
complete a job, which in this country
would be finished in six weeks.
In speaking of the condition of labor,
Mr.. Plimmer compared the prices of
the American and the English me-
chanic and showed that the American
in some cases received twice as much
pay for his work as the Englishman,
who works but nine hours per day and
receives half holiday each week. He
wrs inclined to the belief that, so far
as railways are concerned, the English
lines in the passenger department are
far superior to those of this country,
that the time schedules are much faster
and that there are fewer accidents
The freight departments, however, are
not to be compared with those of Amer
ica, and the traffic in this country is
much heavier,
