That branch Of the steel trust which
supplies the Navy Department with mach.
inery forgings is overplaying It's greed, and
the result may be the biggest sort Of
Congressional row. which may show up the
responsibility Tor the clause in the contracts
FOR new ships that nakes the government a
helpless victim in the clutches Of these
greedy concerns. The clause is that which
forbids the use Of any foreign material IN
the construction Of new warships. Under
that claim the Midyalc Steel Company and
The Bethlehem Iron Company have put
their prices for machinery forgings at a
diculously high price. To give an illus
tration Of the manner in which the govern.
mcnt IS gouged, IL is only necessary TO
mention one auicle--crank shafting-of
which many thousand pounds arc used.
This government has 10 pay S2.z5 a pound.
while in England the same grade Of crank
shafting sells Tor 4S cents a pound. There
Is no doubt Of where the insdgalion for that
anti foreign clause in thesec contracts came
from, and Congress should sec 10 o., not

stones or blocks use heavy pieces of
wood followed down to fit the round
ing side of the slab, which, of course,
is turned fiat side up to walk upon.
Two rows of cobbles or bricks on
each side, laid to break joints and
filled between with broken stone or
gravel and surfaced with sawdust or
sand, make durable and pretty walks.
Expensive plank walks or slat walks
are least satisfactory.
The indestructible walk, though
expensive, is made by first excavat-
ing the soil three feet deep or below
frost or to bed rock, and filling in
with cobbles, brickbats, gravel or
shale, rounding it above the surface
and covering it with finely sifted
gravel, or with coarse gravel and fine
gravel or sand on top. When the
trench is dug it should be e~xcavated
six to eight inches wider than the
walk that is desired. The filling
should be tapered to the width of the
intended walk, and the soil filled in
as shown in the cut.
This permits the frost to lift the
soil and leave the walk undisturbed.
The great trouble with all walls and
walks is the frost. 1t will heave and
spoil if the works are not put in un-
der the best conditions. The best
work is cheapest in the end.-Farm
