PRIZES OF THE BRITISH BAR.
High Salaries and Large Fortunes Arc
the Rule.


Tho Lord High Chancellor Of Great
Britain is second only in position to
the Archbishop of Canterbury. and he
enjoys an income of GiO,OOO a year.
The Lord Chief Justice of Englaud has
salary of ES.O0u year. The Mas.
ter oi the Rolls has a salary of 5000
year, and the Lords OF Appeal in or.
dinary have the same. The lord jus.
tices OF the Court of Appeal Lnd the
juIgcs of the High Court earn G5.OOO
a year each. The masters OF the High
Court are chosen either from harris.
tors or from solicitors. but all the
other OiliCahpldcrs To whom we have
alluded must have come from the bar.
The Attorney General makes much
more money than any of these digni.
tarics.. His salary Is only G7.0O0, but
he has fees as wei. sometimes To n
very large amount. The Solicitor Gen.
ernl has EG.OO0 year besides his
fees. or course, the double work, lc
gal and parliamentary, which these
officers have to undertake Is most ar.
duous. requiring an iron institution
and mind that requires bal little
time for rest. The private practition.
ors in somo few cases make larger in
comes than any of the official persons
at the bar. II is not. indeed. many
who make salaries Of five figures. but
there may be always one or two lead.
crs who are achieving this. The lead
crs who are chiefly before the public
in ordinary cases do not often make
more than from G5,000 to E6,O00 a
year. Larger fortunes are frequently
made by men who specialize in pat.
cnt cascs, who are engaged In rating
appeals and compensation work. or
who practice their profession at the
parliamentary bar Curnhill Maga.

High Protein and High Starch Corn.
From the Farmers Review: Now
that the farmers OF Illinois are turn.
Ing their attention to growing high
protein corn for the purpose OF get.
aing better balanced. ration for
stock feeding. II will be well to con.
slider some Of the probable results.
To grow large crop of high protein
corn ,fll require n soil rich In nitro
gen. The trouble with most Illinois
forms. where proper rotation OF
corn and clover or other leguminous
plants have not been followed. Is that
these lands are already deficient In
nitrogen. and to attempt to grow a
high protein corn upon them In their
present condition, will likely result
in disappointing yields. It seems prob.
able that the yield from such lands
will decrease as the protein content
OF the corn Ii increased. II Is now
an established fact that the corn plant
cannot obtain nitrogen from the air.
but Is dependent entirely upon that
which Is available In the soil. There
grower OF high protein corn TO follow,
and that is to increase the nitrogen
in the soil by growing more clover.
COW peas, soy beans and other
legumes, all of which have the power
OF obtaining nitrogen from the air
through the agency OF bacteria In
their root tuberclcs. While II is es
x,n,,iat Tint ibaaa laottntpoug crnne
should he grown by every corn grow
er. I wish TO emphasize the point
that the grower OF high protein corn
will exhaust available nitrogen in the
soil more rapidly than the grower OF
high starch corn and must, therefore,
have soil rich In that element To OBJ
tain the best results.
As feeders we want the high pro.
tein corn for our live stock. but II
seems probable that high starch
corn would be less exhausting upon
the soil and give larger yield ON
light and thin soils. We do not know
this to be true. But since all plants
get their carbon from the air It
would seem that the variety OF corn
containing the most carbonaceous
matter and least protein would pro.
duce the largest yield In bushels on
thin coils. This Is point OF much
interest to the grain seller who cares
more for yield than for feeding value
We would like 10 hear from Prof.
Hopkins Oh this point.-Clayton c.

The Homo Market for Meat.

George +. Thompson says: Although
n is always impossible to know the
extent OF the home market for live
stock and their products, all agree to
the proportion that the home market
is the best market. Certain features
of the live stock trade mas be shown
very easily. but to give figures con.
corning the markets as a whole Is not
possible. Such a statement would
necessitate, not only an annual emu.
meration OF live stock, but a record Of
animals slaughtered on the farm and
In the village. town, aud city. The
census reports of 1900 are helpful to
some extent. In that they give the
value Of the animals sold Qess the
number purchased) and the value OF
those slaughtered; but there is moth.
Ing to show how much OF these values
represented cattle. or how much rep.
resented sheep. hogs. and horses. II
is interesting nevertheless. to know
that the farmer Of the United States
disposed Of live stock In 1899 to the
value Of $732.9l3.ll4. This repre-.
sents tbe net sales, as the value OF any
animals purchased were deducted from
the va,ue CT those sold. During the
same year there were slaughtered Up.
on farms animals having IA total value
Of $lS9.S73.3l0. In other words, ey-
cry person engaged In agricultural
pursuits who was ten years Of age or
older. consumed meat worth slS.20
during the year 1899. At this rate OF
consumption. tho producer Of live
stock should have received from the
people Of the United States, who were
ten years Of age and older, including
themselves. the enormous sum OF ST..
06o 100000. The records. however,
show that the combined value of The
i've stock slaughtered on the farm
ard that sold of was hut s9l2 2,7SG.i2i.
or $l4s, ,033.576 less than the above
amount, showing that the producer
consumes much more meat than the
people engaged In other vocations and
Is therefore lis own best customer.

Entry by Nomination In Navy.

The writer Of an article In Pages
Magazine on Lord Selborne's new
scheme for the training of British
naval officers makes some pointed re-
marks on the present methods OF en-.
try To the navy. He states that tho
proposed mode of entry by nomina.
tion is a relic Of admiralty patronage.
which the board Is unwilling to re-
iinquish; but. whether the admirals
like II or not, II must soon go the
way OF all such antiquated privileges.
Open competition is sure to come
within the next few years. The re.
suit OF this entry by nomination will
be TO keep the naval service-as far
as the officers are concerned-in the
family circles of tho admiralty and
their friends: SO that parents without
influence inside Of that charmed circle
will have no chance OF getting their
boys into the navy. however desirable
the boys themselves may be. or how
ever ready the parents may be to In
cur the heavy expense Of educating
their boys for the service Of theii
country.
