Agricultural Notes.

Farm tenantry is doubtless increas-
ing in the United States, and this fact
is one with which We must constantly
reckon. AS result of tenantry. social
conditions become yearly worse in
many of our farming communities. The
tenant does not feel that he is fixture,
and takes little interest in the COM
munity. The owners of the land in
too many cases prefer for tenant a
man without children, as there are in
that case none to increase the district
school tax. This is another new prob.
lem that must be faced.

he was still under 20. He next went to
college, studied theology, took a
church and preached with great sue
cess for several years. Oddly enough
his health was not so robust in the
pulpit as in the mill, and he gave up
his charge to return to his trade, to
which he has since devoted himself. He
was first elected president of the
Amalgamated Association at its con-
vention in Cincinnati.

There comes a tale of woe from dis
tant Guam. This is the remote island
in the Pacific where for some time
Captain Leary of the navy was be-

to work and unmarried ones to wed.
He appealed to the department for a
brass band to aid in the civilizing of
the inhabitants, but was unable to get

which causes unhappiness in Guam.
1t is a scarcity of whisky. The last
barrel of ''commissary" has been
stolen and drunk up by bad marines
on duty in the island.
This sad news is given in an order
issued by Commander Seator Schroe-
der. U. s. NJ, Governor of Guam. In
It he calls the attention OF the com
mand TO the "hoodlumism and law
lessness which are rampant in it," Per-
haps this language is not too strong
when the dastardly character of the
crime which has been committed is
taken into consideration The Com
mander says excitedly:
There is reason for abiding to the
theft few weeks ago Of a barrel of
whisky from the naval hospital that was
the last and sole supply of the medical
department for medical purposes. An Of
hcer on duty here has since then been
so reduced by climatic fever that a GER
tain amount of whisky was considered
necessary to keep him from utter pros
tration. Fortunately, small supply was
obtained from a passing vessel. Had that
accidental supply not been forthcoming.

would have rested upon the heads of the

some L.mb-Feeding E.perIment,.

'''s'o eSeAu6 1Apefthhohtss
The facts resulting from the lamb
feeding experiment at the Wyoming
Experiment Station are here reported
in brief. The principal objects sought
in the undertaking were to make a
comparison of the feeding value Of al
falfa with that of native hay and to
determine the cost of feeding lambs
for market under the conditions prev
alent on the Laramie plains and in
other parts Of the state.
In December when the experiment
was authorized good average lambs,
such as were most desirable for the
work, could not be secured and 1t was
found necessary to select the one
hundred made use of. from a
bunch of culls. After a week
OF preliminary feeding, the lambs were
divided into two sets equal in number
and as nearly so as possible in weight
and quality. The experiment began
December 2Sth, and continued for a
period OF ninety-ive days, closing
April 2, The two lots had limited
amount of corn and all the hay they
would eat. The lambs were slaughtered
and consumed in the home market.
The butchers were highly pleased with
the way they cut up and especially
we'll satisfied with the demand for
them. The meat was of excellent quail
ity. The people of Laramie consider
it the best mutton ever placed on sale
in this market. The following Is an
extract from the summary:

route is required to purchase before
he can have the benefit of rural free

terize the proceeding as the practical
formation OF "boxmakers' trust

limiting the number of boxes that may
be used in the next year profit Of
$25O,O0O will accrue TO the manufac-
turors assuming that 100000 boxes
are put up during the twelve months.
AS one western member put it, "The
manufacturers could afford to pay
someone 10 per cent Of that as a bon
us for the privilege of manufacturing
boxes for use on rural routes"
superintendent Machem OF the rural
delivery service says there is ample
power vested in the postmaster gen
eral arbitrarily to select fourteen boxes
or any lumber he may choose. which
may be put up with the approval of
the department. He says that the
fourteen boxes were selected by a
commission appointed by the post
master general and these were the on
iy boxes submitted that came within
