The seal islands Of Alaska. il Is
thought that the number OF seals
which will be taken during the pres

1t will hardly be denied that the ''Scien-

any subject it gives endorsement to by
insertion in its columns. Some time ago
o. T. Wolcott, writing for the Amer

The growing OF Belgian hares has re-
Gently become an extensive industry in
southern California, having its centre in
Los Angeles Here, within the past two
years hundreds of firms have turned
their attention to the timid little red
brown hare, and thousands of hutches, or
rabbit warrens, are housing the breeding
or growing animals. Many of the concerns
have extensive equipments costing as
much as $30,000 or 100000. while hundreds
of others are mere boxes in back yards
screened with wire netting, the proprietor
of the place being some boy or woman
of the establishment.
The economic value OF the Belgian
abides in its flesh for food purposes. This
has no relation to the ordinary hare or
rabbit. II is white, close grained, and
tender, resembling very much the legs of
frogs being withaI of delicate and most
savory flavor. II is decidedly an epicurean

bring forth several hundred young.
Any boy or girl in Washington can have
a small rabbitry at a small expense. A
pair of bred does kept in hutch will
afford a great deal of pleasure. not to
mention the profit that may be made.
Belgian hare exhibitions are now much
in vogue, and some managers are offer
ing prizes that are sure to bring some
pretty strong individuals into competition.
The demand for fine Belgians for breeding
purposes is still very strong throughout
the West, where it first took hold of the
public mind.
Up in New England they have a Belgian
hare buck, York Surprise. valued at
$1,000 y Western firm last spring lest
buck which had earned it $500 in stud
fees in one year.
Fiery Fox, the imported buck that
created such furore at the Chicago
show, has been secured as one Of the at
fractions of the Kansas City show, and
will return to the Fanciers' Exhibit in
Chicago in January.

Wherever tried, the Belgian hare seems
to thrive and wherever handled judiciously
has made money for its owner. The
writer has seen letters from Florida, read
notes from Oregon, Massachusetts,, Abb

other developments in the Southwest show
that this territory will be one OF .ie
shining examples of the plan. The South
ern Railway and the Seaboard Air Line
are working in harmony in the South and
there is no cut-throat competition in
that section any more The result OF this
harmony will be larger increases in net
earnings in the next two years than there
have been in the past. and this is saying
much. 1t will mean without a doubt that
dividends will be increased and that divt-
dends will be paid to stockholders that
have never received them before. 1t Will
mean greater stability in earnings from
year to year as we'll as a larger sum

The surplus OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
for the half year was equal to 2I-2 per
cent on the stock. or at the rate of per
cent for the year. The surplus of the
Norfolk and Western for the same period
was equivalent to 2.75 per cent on the
common stock. or at the rate OF $50 per
cent per annuIn. This statement makes a
fine comparative showing with that for
the year ending June 80 1900. During that
year the Chesapeake and Ohio earned a
balance over all expenses and charges OF
l.9l per cens ON the stock, and the Norfolk
and Western earned a balance Of 35f per
cent on the common stock. II will be
borne In mind in considering the earnings
OF these two lines that they received the
very lowest rates per ton per mile for the
freight they carried OF any lines in the
country. The circular suggests that the
rates on the lines will be increased be-
yond a doubt as a result OF the mutually
OF interest plan. This has been done al
ready to certain extent on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. with an increase Of the
freight rates on the Chesapeake and Ohio
from 3i3 mills per ton mile to 40 mills
per ton mile the rate of the Norfolk
which would still be much lower than that
OF any other line in the country, the
Chesapeake and Ohio will earn, it is esti-
mated, something between and I per
cent on its stock. Such a rate on last
years business would have resulted IN a
surplus OF $4,000, 900, or SO per cent on
the stock.
