HAY IN ROUND BALES.
Packed in This Shape 1t Occupies
Less Space and There Are
Other Advantages.

Hay as well as cotton is put up nova
days in cylindrical bales, a standard
round hay bale being IS inches in diam
eter and Sc inches in length. Such a
bale packed at the pressure under
which it would be put up for domestic
use would weigh about 200 pounds; as
packed for export such a bale would
contain about 275 pounds. There is
put up for army use bale of the same
diameter, but only IS inches in length,
which contains approximately 14o
pounds of hay.
In the cylindrical bale given guam
tity of hay is got into less than half the
space that it would occupy in square
bale; and there are asserted for it 9th er
advantages, including freedom from
mold, preservation of the sweetness
of the hay and greatly reduced combus-
tbility.
Thousands of tons of hay in cylin-
drical bales have been shipped to the
American army in the Philippines,
and large quantities of it have been
used by the British army in South AZ

CROWDING INTO THE CITIES
Rural Districts in England Are Rap
idly Being Forsaken by
the People,

The depopulation of the rural dis
tricts of England is beginning to cause
serious concern to the government.
From statistics recently collated it is
learned that in 1901 Sc per cent. of the
population lived in towns of 1000 in
habitants and upward, whereas in 1891
GA per cent. of the population inhabited
towns exceeding 1000 in population.
The rural population in 1891 on 31,577,-
900 acres was only 5,534,0 persons out
of total population of 29,002, 525. It
will be seen from these latter figures,
says a London exchange, that less than
one-ffth Of the whole people live in the
country and are engaged in rural occu-
,pations. Lord Avebury, in commenting
upon these figures, ascribed the de-
crease of rural population to the failure
of the country schools to foster interest
in country life and objects. There have
been other causes at work, however.
The great development in the pleasures
and recreations of town life, the in
creased interest in politics, agricultural
depression, miserable labor wages and
last, but perhaps not least, the local
tyranny of squire and parson, have con-
tributed to this result. 1t is perhaps
yet to be seen whether the development
of local government will have the de-
s1rable effect of making country life
more interesting and tolerable.

NAMES CANNING INDUSTRY
One Hundred and Seventy-Five Fac.
tories That Pay. $1,4OO,OOO
Year in Wages.

According to the report of Hon
S. W. Mathews, state industrial and
labor commissioner, the Pine Tree
State is the champion sardine canning
community of the country and is third
on the list of states that can sweet
corn. In fact, Maine is the only
state engaged in the industry of put
ting up small herring and other suit
able fish as sardines. There are about
ders, the value of which is about
$1,214,9oO, and give employment to
$4,000 operatives. The amount OF
wages paid in 1899 was about S1,4oO,-
900; to the farmers for corn, 1881 900,
and the value of the entire output
of all the factories was $5,306,0S9 dur
ing the year, quotes the New York
Sun.
Over 1000 acres were planted to
sweet corn in 1899. The canning OF
clans, blueberries, apples, beans,
squash, pumpkin and small fruits
seems to be on the increase, accord
ing TO Mr.. Mathews report, and he
does not see any good reason why
the industry should not increase
largely in the packing of these arti-
Giles, He also says that it appears to
be generally conceded that the corn,
apples and berries of Maine are SUI
perior in quality to tie same products
in other states, owing, doubtless, to
climatic conditions. In every kind OF
canning men. women and children are
paid remunerative wages, and the
canning factories give to many poor
families their only opportunity for
earning money.

NATIONS HAVE WAR CHESTS.
Vast Sums in European Treasures
Laid Up for Times OF
Strife.

A source Of Amusement to continental
politicians is the facility with which
Great Britain obtains the money to
carry on the South African campaign.
Even our severest critics acknowledge
that in no other country could the
many millions already voted have been
obtained so readily.
This is all the more wonderful to
them when they remember that in the
sense they understand it England has
no war chest to fall back upon. The eN-
PLANTATION is simple enough. England,
being the richest country in the world,
her credit stands high, and she is able
to raise vast sums at moments no
tice, says the London Daily News.
The case is different in France, where
they have something like 6 70,000,000
worth of gold and 6 5OOOO,0 900 worth of
silver ready for war time. The Austro-
Hungarian bank possesses about s 30,
100000 for a like purpose, while Ger
many clings to the old-fashioned sys-
tenn of maintaining an actual war chest,
containing & 100000, at the fortress
of Spandau. 1t is also estimated that
Russia has ready at least G100,00O,0o0.
Financially, Europe is prepared for
the day that pessimistic prophets say
is drawing nigh-the day when wild
war shall run riot throughout the east
ern hemisphere. There is at least 6 1885,
100000 waiting for the time when the
