ton. The subject is under consideration
and investigation at the department and
there is reason for believing that a bill
in equity is being prepared.
The combination being very much like
the beef trust, the proposed remedy, it
IS said, will be similar to the action filed
at Chicago on May 10. The department
will allege that the coal companies and
the coal carrying roads are in conspir.
acy TO restrain Interstate commerce, in
violation of the sherman antitrust law
of 1890.
But while the beef barons control only
80 per cent. of the meat business the
coal trust has everything in its grasp

interest in the anthracite properties
than he has in the Northern Securities
merger against which the first anti.

1t will be direct collision between the
great financier and the president, who
has turned deaf ear to the representa-
tons that it would be unwise and impol-
itic for him to disturb business by any
more trust suits.
1t is more notorious that the hard coal
con blnation has monopoly than it is
that the packers combine controls arti.

GUS that it has limited production, and
that it is worse than useless for the own

cannot get it to market because the rail-
roads will not furnish cars in numbers
large enough or when desired, to enable
the shipper to fill any contracts he may
make. Even if he could get cars, he
couldn't get rates enabling him to COM

The trusts life, considering the miners

Intensive Farming.

Even in the great West, where land
is comparatively cheap in the beginning
of settlements, the time comes when to
make farming profitable it must be car
red on with due regard to economy Of
both labor and money. AS the first fer
tility of the soil is removed and farm
ers find it necessary to make heavy and
more heavy applications of fertilizers.
then it is realized, if never before. that
farming must be conducted on the prin-
ciple of getting as many crops and as
heavy as possible from the smallest
possible area This feeling is becoming
stronger daily. and the farmer who
concentrates his labor and fertilizer on
twenty-five acres is making more mon
ey than the many who. with the same
labor and fertilizer. spread it over fifty
acres.
This is good logic and the sooner
those who complain they are not max
ing living at farming work on the
lines indicated the sooner will the
profit come.

The Incubator.

There is still much prejudice against
the use Of incubatOrs, but. as a rule. 1t
exists only with those who have had
no experience only with the machines
first manufactured, and which. Of
course, were faulty. When it is cOnsid-
cred that it would require the services
of seven hens to hatch 100 chicks, or
rather to cover 100 eggs, it is plain to
see that the food for these seven hens
would cost more than the oil to run the
incubator, while the time required for
caring for the hens is much greater
than caring for the incubator.
For the beginner the smaller incuba-
tors are to be preferred. and they
should be handled strictly according to
the instructions that come with the ma
chimes until the operator learns from
experience what changes to make.
If one intends to go INTO the poultry
business to make it pay, an incubator
and brOOder are absolutely essential.
AS suggested, buy a machine of small
capacity, not to exceed 1G0-egg capac-
ity. but see that it is of reliable make.
This machine will answer all purposes
the first year. and the next season one
will be sufficiently experienced to oper-
ate on a larger scale.

Judging Butter.

There are very few butter makers
who do not know the difference be-
tween good and poor butter. and the
apparent difference between their judg-
ment and that of the butter judge is
often due to the difference in the time

struck him. 1t would be a good idea
to go out to the porch and get his

refreshment provided until the house
