SOURCE OF PROFIT.
A paper BY Hr. Winterhalter Suggest
ing . Profitable Line to Ac-
company Sugar Beet

Office during the last few weeks
plainly Indicate the necessity of
increasing the production of AMI
NAL fertilizer if the fertility of
the soil shall bekept up for years
to come.
The beet industry is only in it's
infancy. and the crop has been
raised for but three years, and yet
a number of farmers already look
ing up tracts away from their home
places in order to raise sugar beets,
and rest their own land. They do
not hesitate to go a several miles
away for the purpose, but they
shrink from the thought of buying
dairy cattle and producing the fer
tiliZer at home which will enable
them TO raise beets in rotation for
years TO come on thirty or forty
acre home place, instead of hunt
ing all over the country for land
to grow a crop of beets.
Is it not strange that the inhsb-
itants of this rich valley should be
so near-sighted and narrow-mlnd-
ed that they cannot realize the
great value of mich COWS on their
home farm? Yet, / am of the
opinion that it is neither the lack
Of intelligence nor the lack of
capital that prevents the general
production OF dairy stock on the
farms of this fertile valley, but
that the horror OF additional work
connected with the dairy herd is
the actual cause which prevents
the prosperity of the dairy indus
try.
Only recently have endeayored
to bring the benefit OF a general
introduction OF nj / cattle into
this valley before the attendants
OF the. last Farmers Institute With
the hope that few mil ut profit
by it and give it nm honest trial.
Instead of this, however, learned
from enc of the most prominent
creamery men that if the farmers
will not take more readily toward
the production of milk, the cream
cry business will have to be aban-
doned, and one of the largest
plants in this valley must be
closed.
In the face of this truthful state
ment, literature is spread broad
cast throughout the eastern and
western states of this continent
advertising in the most inviting
language the agricultural features
of the Arkansas valley and the
great fu ture possibilities Of
it's industries, among others the
cattle and dairy industry on ac-
count of the many varieties of
crops that can be raised with GER
tainty and success year after year.
The immigrant, attracted by this
brilliant literature, vainly looks
for the dairy herds, creameries
and the breeding stations, and in
stead, finds half starved cattle on
the range and in the lanes of our
country roads, and this result of
his Investigations fully juetifes
him to doubt the accounts that
haye caused him to make this trip
OF inspection. And yet there is
no necessity for such disappoint.

that warrants the importation of

of the day. The cowboy and his
horse are gradually pushed back
onto the land that cannot be
reached with water from the Ar
kansas and its tributaries. The
Hundreds of acres of alfalfa fields
are slowly disappearing and the
land is used for the cultivation OF
more profitable crops. The adobe
house and the two-room settlers
cabins are replaced by substan-
tial buildings, the working stock
is receiving shelter, and the farm
yard that use to occupy acres OF
land is gradually cut down to the
narrowest limits as the value Of
the land increases.
In short this valley is becoming
a strictly agricultural section and
with this change the branch of an
imsl and dairy industry must re-
ceive as much attention as that of
the plant industry providing it
shall keep up its reputation and
support its settlers comfortably for
yeais to come.
Tuere is no section on this earth
where intense agriculture can be
practiced number of years with
out fertilization, and there is no
fertilizer that is as efficient and as
economically supplied as the ami
NAL fertalizer. There is only one
way to secure and accumulate the
latter, and that is on the home
farm, aud there is only one animal
that will produce it and at the
same time give the highest returns
for its keeping throughout the
year, and that is the dairy COW.
The earlier the farmers of the
Arkansas valley will realize this
fact, the quicker they will increase
the returns of their farms, and the
higher will be the yield of the IT
crops and the greater will be their
prosperity and happiness.

OC.1N LINERS DELAYED.
.Seueral Unable to Get a Supply OF
Coal on Time.

Several steamship companies and the Ber-
wind White Coal Company, which supplies most
of them with coal. found the soft coal situation
yesterday an unpleasant one Among thS
steamship companies which had to face tne
problem of getting enough coal to send out their
steamers on time were the American. the Whlte
Star, the Frenen the Holand-Anerica and the
North German Lloyd lines.
The Teutonic of the White Star Line. which
was scheduled to sail at noon yesterday, lacked
five hundred tons of her full supply early In the
morning and obliged to delay her SAILING
until o. m The ST. Paul. of the American
Line was able to sail time only by prompt
work on the part of her owners. The steamer
was one thousand tons short at p. m. on Tues
day.
1--WE took tug and secured the harbor all
night said Mr. Griscon. the manager of the
line yesterday. 1--WE picked up everything we
could find. At 4 a. nj. had enough. We
simply stole COAL" he added with smile. This
was probably not literally true. but there could
have been little opportunity to dicker about
price at that hour and with such shortage In
the bunkers.
The Lorraine of the French Line, which is
scheduled to sail at 10 a. n. to-day. was four
hundred tons short yesterday afternoon Her
agents thought she would be able to sail nearly
on time At the most she would not be delayed
more than an hour or two, they declared The
Neckar, of the North German LLOYD Line. whien
should sail to-day for Bremen, at the same nour
was one hundred tons short last night. Her
agents believed that she would NOT be greatly
delayed If at all
The last coal for the Potsdam, of the Holland
America Line, which sailed at 10 a. M yester-
day. was put aboard at 5 a. m yesterday Al
though she had been in port more than a week,
she had great difficulty in filling her bunkers
Her supply picked up here and there IN
small quantities She carries about 1,9UO tons
the amount required by all the ships which
sailed yesterday except the St. Paul The Lor-
raine requires more than this, while the Neckar
requires only 200 tons.
When asked for the reason given by the coal
contractors for their inability to get coal along
side in time, the steamship men said 1t was tnat
there was blockade on the railroads
At the Office of tae Berwind- White Company
an officer said that they would like some one 20
tell them what the trouble was. The coal is
mined apparently, but il is impossible to get 1T
to tidewater promptly.

From Harlem down the crowds collected. With the
patience horn long suffering, they waited: but
the time sped by and train in sight anxious
ones appealed to the ticket choppers. The an
swers received were as varied the characters Of
the men, but none conveyed much information or
much promise of help. All this time the agents
continued to sell tickets.

tickets was in some cases stopped.

CENTRAL TRAINS IN SUBWAY.
August Belmont Says His Company Would
Meet Proposition Literally.

In addition to its other plans the Central is con-
sidering the possibility of making direct connec-
ton with the subway for the use of its suburban
trains. Whether the Central will bear the cost of
this construction: whether the subway will pay for
it, or whether they will divide the cost whether
the city will part, remains to be threshed
1t is almost certainty, however. that there will be
a direct track connection and local trains on the
Central will be shifted directly to the subway
tracks

heard formally from the company, but that he has
every to believe the company would accept

SINKING FUND BOARD SURPRISED.
Did Not Know P r. r. Needed It's Permis-
sion to Build Tunnel.

One of the necessary legal steps in the Pennsyi-
vania tunnel project is the formal granting by the
Sinking Fund Commissioners and Dock Commission
er Hawkes. OF consent for the Pennsylvania COM
pany to go ahead with its work. The tunnel route
runs under city property controlled by the
Dock Department and before the Appellate Div1s-
ion may properly be asked to appoint commission
ers to appraise the real estate needed by the COM
pany it is necessary for the company to be able to
show that all the consents required by law have
been granted.
Commissioner Haw wkes was at the meeting of the
Sinking Fund Commission yesterday and showed
the commission a blue print of the lines of the
Pennsylvania tunnel they pass under the North

seemed TO be surprise to the Mayor and the other
members OF the commission. The Mayor called up
