The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1902-04-18

With a view to disseminating tobacco
statistics throughout the world and Gre
ating abroad an increased demand for
American goods, the Tobacco Associa-
tion of the United States has just made
arrangements with the Statistical Bu-
reau of the Treasury Department, at
Washington, to get such statistics, prop
erly tabulated and printed, ready for
distribution. 1t is believed that by
spreading this information broadcast and
letting those outside of this country
know better what is here in the way of
tobacco, the desired result can be brought
about.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

We don't expect to hear of any sales
at present, as the great bulk of the crop
is now in the hands of the packers. Soon
there will be offered the force-sweated
leaf; in fact, some has already found its
way into the market, and it will probably
be only the minimum prices that will
reach our ears. To the uninitiated, it
seems strange that our trade papers re-
frain from giving prices. They seem to
do all they can to prevent reports of
sales from reaching the growers. It's so

Buyers are still riding and sales are
made every day. Most of the tobacco
purchased is of the medium grades and
5 cents is the average price paid. The
market in old goods is very quiet

RAILROAD development con-

build.a new line directly west from
Denver to Ogden. connecting
probably with the Southern Paclf-

the board OF directors of the Rock
Island says this construction work
will be the first undertaken, and
when completed this line will be
the shortest in existence to the

have to shorten its running time
to the coast IN some way in order
to compete with the Rock Island.

East End Notes.

The last day OF school at Boston
witnessed a recurrence to former
pleasures OF iestlyity. Although
the day WAS rainy, the neighbor
hood gathered at noon to feast up
on the good things prepared by
the mothers and yourg ladies: and
we dare say justice WAS done to
all preparations from cucumber
pickles to lemon pie and half doz-
en- kinds of cake. Had the wealth
er been favorable a large crowd
wouli have come from Villas and
Stonington; but as 1t was. most of
us were compelled TO stay at home
hungry, to have our appetites
aroused by our disappointment
and the news OF a fine dinner
served to all who came. This de.
scrlption of the dinner was handed
us by one that was present: Two
tables filled with all sorts of good
things and surrounded by thirty
hungry men. women and children;
tor everybody fasts several days
before going to such dinnet. AZ
ter all we're filled and satisfied
there was enough cake, PIE, chick
en- and pickles left TO feed all the
hungry people that were kept
away by the ram. So YOU see
preparation was made on ii large
scale. As soon as the tables we've
cleared and the visitors were in a
TIT condition to hear, the school
was called to order and the pupils
rendered credi'able entertain
ment of song, recitations aud solos.

ut will revolutionize the business of
feeding cattle and make meat cheaper
and better than ever before, besides
saving millions of dollars to stock

ed in the Invention Of John Hammer
for the economical feeding and fatten-
ing of cattle.
1.-THE invention is not in theoretical
stage" he continued, ''but has been
given practical tests which prove that
it will do all that is claimed for it
make a bushel of corn go as far as
two bushels now go in the fattening Of
stock"
Hammers device consists of a large
galvanized iron case with drawers to
serve as receptacles for shelled corn,
each drawer having a capacity of half
a bushel On the top and on four sides
of the case is placed common moss,
such as may be gathered in the woods.
The moss is three inches thick and is
compressed SO as to form a huge
sponge for the retention of water. 1t is
thoroughly dampened, and in this
moist atmosphere the corn begins to
sprout almost Immediately.
In four days the hard grain is con-
verified into a mass of tender sprouts,
fed by the softened pulp. 1t is then
ready for feeding to live stock or poul-
try. The claims made for this process
are:
1t increases the weight by the growth
of the grain up to 100 per cent, rem
ders the grain wholly digestible and
nutritive, brings to the grain by chem
ical changes valuable food elements
not otherwise obtained, aids digestion
of other foods with which the grown
grain comes in contact, supplies the
best tonic that can be given to animals,
converts corn, the great stock feeding
material, into the ideal food for poul-
try and all young growing stock and
supplies at all seasons of the year a
food to all animals which is the equiv

resented by the same two bulls that
headed the class at Cardiff last year,
and if they did not quite repeat the
performance on this occasion it can at
least be said that no undue favor
would have been shown them had they
both been rewarded with the same re-
spective honors as last year. The in
vincible Royal Duke from Windsor
had no difficulty whatever in retaining
his place at the top and subsequently
in winning the male championship.
This extraordinary son of Prince Vic
tor never looked better, and he &C.
counted for his opponents deal more
easily than in 1901, as he walked bet
ter and at the same time was admira-
bly, straight in his shapes and level in
his flesh. This triumph in the cham
pionship makes Royal Dukes third su-
preme victory at the premier British

er been equaled and which can leave
no doubt as to the marvellous quality

Socialist Organ Criticises His $50.
Called BenevoIence."


Berlin, Nov. 26.-The Socialist or.
gan,, Vorwaerts, in page and half,
deals with what it calls the hypocrisy
of idealizing Herr Krupp as benevo-
lent genius" The paper does not
touch on the immediate charges which
it brought against the deceased, but
analyses the pension system of the
Krupp firm, which, it says, is
species of refined swindling," adding:
"The enormous so-called benevolent
funds have been built up by compul
sorry contributions from the employees
who could be arbitrarily deprived of
participation in the advantages. They
are required to contribute 21a per cent
of their wages for twenty years before
they are eligible to pension upon dis.
ability. In the meantime if an employe
is discharged or resigns he loses all
he has contributed often exceeding
$3.50. Thus employees are morally and
economically terrorized and must in
humility accept every petty regulation
of the firms officials or lose 21a per
cent of what they have earned in the
firms service. This terrorism is ap-
piled to political opinions where they
become known. The number of men
leaving or discharged during the past
three years averaged 1000 to 5000
yearly. The employees found the sys-
tenn so unsatisfactory that five great
meetings were held this year for the
purpose of seeking legal redress"
The Vorwaerts cites an instance of
labor representative on the advisory
committee of the benevolent pension
fund who mildly criticised the manage
ment and who, several days later, hav-
ing in the meanwhile paid his annual
dues, was dismissed.

now 100000 horses. in its islands,
while little more than thirty years ago
there was none at all to speak Of.
They further said that they were de-
sirous of making as much use as possi-

horses exceedingly valuable. These

trotters to go to the imperial studs.
