PROFITS IN

All the testimony on the subject of
agriculture and agricultural labor has
been boiled down by the industrial
commission, which is preparing to
make it's report to congress. In the
little pamphlet of condensed opinion
and conclusions are some facts of gem
eral interest. Speaking of profit and
loss of wheat growing, the evidence is
summed UP as follows:
There is some testimony to the effect
that grain is raised at a loss in the
northwest, but this is c~ontroverted by
other evidence to the effect that when
a farm is properly cultivated wheat
raising is profitable. Mr.. Greeley, of
South Dakota, takes an intermediate
position, maintaining that wheat does
not pay veal after year unless it is
raised in connection with stock farm
ing. Mr.. Greeley knows of farmers
who have turned to stock raising and
yet raise more grain than before. The

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

y The inspector of the rural free de-
livery routes has recommended nine
routes to be established in this state,
ait Valley City, Hatton, Thompson,
Buxton, Hillsboro, Gardner, Lisbon,
Moreton and Kindred. One of the
difficulties in getting these routes es-
tablished is to get people who will do
the carrying for the $500 per annum,
the maximum price paid by the depart
mtept for his service. The postmaster
general has asked for an appropriation
for the next fiscal period of about seven
millions. which is about double the
present amount available for the rural
delivery system. 1t is expected that
he will also recommend, an increase
in the maximum amount to be paid fo1
carriers, and thus improve the service
as well as extend it.

receipts in cash, being one-fifth of the
purchase price of land, were $$s3,5o0.
The total amount of the sales will be

payment, and balance of about $4,000 Q

20,00QSacres OF: land YER sold. Some
Of the land averaged $2G an acre. and

attention Of the whole northwest, he
says. is turning to stock.
Discussing the diminution of profits,
the report says:
The preponderance Of testimony is
to the effect that capital employed in
agriculture yields a lower rate of profit
than it did thirty or forty years ago,
but it is pointed out hal profits in all
other industries have been falling, to-
esther with the rate of interest, and
the number of men who + seeking
and acquiring farms is cited as evil
dence that relatively there is more
profit in farming than ever before. To
those who understood farming. the
farm is said to be the best place TO
make money. 1t is also pointed out
that much land that was bought at
very low prices forty years ago is now
worth many times the original price.
If the rate of profit is calculated upon
the present selling value of the land
it will, of course, be much lower than
if calculated upon the price which was
paid for the land while it was cheap.
Again, where land was bought at in
f1ated prices, and has since fallen in
value, it may fail to pay a fair profit
upon the actual purchase price and yet
afford a reasonable prospect of profit to
q -o~ 1>,,rohoror uh0 iS oh1n RI ccSa117sc

PRAIRIE

A LITERARY TREATISE.
(Being a Personal and Encouraging
Missive Between Fellows, of the
Craft of scribbers.) A. G.. -.
Dear j: The things you've done in.
Are bad enough, the good Lord
And yet, withal, I've read some worse,
Which are the things you've done in
IT'S not a critic could assist,
Your verse, but a chiropodist,
BY methods heroic to treat ,
The corns on your poetic feet.
Yet why despair? Let us not shrink,
A book is only types and ink,
And poems may be poured like wine, ,
By placing letters III a line.
If every other line shall blend
In rhyme, at one or. 'tother end,
The trick is done-the poets Muse
Might bR a cobbler fitting shoes.
Enough the stanzas weird and tense,
For what to us is common sense,
Since what's not to be understood
Is doubly sure to be called good.
So drive a spigot in the cask,
And turn the faucet, hold the flask,
Let flow the wine of poetry,
The world is writing-why not we?
Gid Omar wrote, a drinking lout,
And doubtless wondered what about,
The futures literary elves
Will read us better than ourselves.
Trust literary wights to see,
The depths of hidden mystery,
And read in us from A to end L.
The things we never did intend.
IT'S not to write a simple screed,
So plain that he who run may read,
Real genius writes a fearsome one,
That he who reads, in fright, may
What scalding tears the saints might
weep, :
Were writing fluid not SO cheap
To view the sea of ink-that flows
In inane verse and insane prose.
While pens aud paper still are made,
In plenty. shall we be dismayed? ~
Nay! Grasp the pen with irmer hanG
And join the paper-spoiling band!
Then drive the >spigot in the cask, .
And turn the faucet--hold the flask
Let flow the wine of poetry; =

HUSTLlNG BOARD OF
TRADE BADLY NEEDED

special to The Spy.
Millbury, Nov. 9.-What has become of
the Millbury Board of Trade? Has it
gone out of existence entirely, or are it's
members only sleeping? Let us hope the
latter is true, but facts do not point that
way. In conversation with a member of
the Board of Selectmen today, The Spy
reporter CLEANED a few straight facts. The
gentleman stated that Millbury needed
Board of Trade as badly now as 1t did 10
years ago. There are plenty of water
privileges lying idle that would be of
benefit to many concerns, and no doubt
would be snapped up if there were push
enough or backbone enough among the
solid men of the town. Among the many
is the Millbury Cotton Mill plant, the old
Atlanta Mill property, the Pinafore Mill
and a number of others.
Rumor has it that parties are looking
at the Millbury Cotton Mill plant with
the intention of buying it, Within the
past month parties have examined the
Pinafore Mill, and here is another chance.
Business men as a rule, when they get a
tip on the tax rate, the dirty Blackstone
River and the general run of a few of the
business men, quit the town and say:
None of Millbury in mine!" With a
hustling Board of Trade in Millbury in
ducements of many kinds could be Of
fered to outside business parties and diff
ferent concerns brought to town This
would mean a help to everybody. and
would boom the town at the same time.
1t is not to be supposed for a minute
that Millbury is not a hustling business
centre, but there is always room for more
concerns. The more the merrier and let
them come at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The outlook for the coming winter
in Millbury is the brightest for years.

LONG DRAWN OUT CASE
HEARD BY JUSTICE CURTIS


Spencer, Nov. 9.-Trial Justice A w
Curtis gave a hearing this afternoon in
his office to Joseph Benoit of Brookfeld,
who brought suit against Reuben Adams
of the same town in an action of con-
tract to recover a bill of $3465 alleged to
be due for work done for the defendant
at different times during the year 1900
The plaintiff was represented by Henry E.
Cottle of West Brookfield. and the de-
PENDANT by Arthur w. Butterworth of
Brookfield.
The hearing lasted more than three
hours, during which time much evidence
was submitted. Mr. Benoit testified that
he was blacksmith, and that during the
past year he had done more or less work
on wagons and farming implements COM
ing from the farm owned by Reuben
Adams in Brookfield. He stated it had
always been customary for the defendant
to pay for this work but this last bill he
refused to pay. saying it was contracted
by man named Burns, who was living
on the farm at the time. Burns did not
pay the bill, and so Mr.. Benoit brought
suit against the defendant.
The defendant introduced evidence to
show he did not own all the articles that
had been repaired
Judge Curtis informed the court that he
would consider the case and inform the
parties of his decision by judicial letter.
The strike in the "Esg Shop" remains
the same as 1t was two days ago and. as
Mr. Young has not returned from Boston
the matter will probably not be settled
until Monday.
