Raj ed Obi -ctiOnS.

Because Mr.. Charles r. Yerkers
brought German bricklayers to Lon
don to put up two tall chimney stacks
at his new generating station in Chel-
sea local labor unions are saying some
very bitter things about American en-
ierprise, Mr.. Yarker's manager ex-
planned, alphabetically, that British
Oricklayers were not accustomed to
building chimneys from the inside:
hence the alien workmen. Mr.. Yerkes
is now being deluged with letters from
all parts of the United Kingdom, Civ
ing lists of chimneys "inside-built. -
which are solely the product of British
labor. The manager, newly arrived
from Chicago, spoke not wisely but too
well, and the local contractors, hav-
ing scored a point, are growing with
delight. Meantime the German brick
layers are having an unpleasant time
IN Chelsea. So. A..

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SEED.

The Importance of good seed cannot
be too strongly urged. A grower of
wheat in several years experiments
found that it paid well to hand pick
his seed wheat. The first year he
planted seven and one-half pounds Of
hand-picked wheat on one acre in
rows eighteen inches apart, and at
harvest he threShed out siXty-seven
bushels. The next year the yield was
seventy-two bushels, using little
more seed On a trial row he planted
seventy-six extra fine kernels of seed
weighing forty-five grainsl. and the
product was ten and one-fourth pounds
or at the rate of 100 bushels of wheat
ner acre. The experiments were made
many years ago by Professor Blount,
of the Colorado Experiment Station
the seed being in rows eighteen inches
apart, and twelve inches apart in the
rows, wheel hoe being used for cult
waiting between the rows. In Belgium
all seeds are carefully hand-picked and
the wheat crop cultivated, with the
result that from sixty to seventy-five
bushels Of wheat per acre may be
found on nearly all farms.

VALUE OF HAY CROP.

The hay crop Of this country is more
important to farmers than wheat. as
hay may be baled and sent to market
or be used on the farm; but one rea-
son why hay should not be sold is be-
cause it contains more Of the mineral
elements than does grain. More profit
is made from hay than from any other
staple crop, as it is the main reliance
for winter feeding. while the manure
from hay contains plant food that
is more evenly balanced than that from
any other source. To derive the most
benefit from hay, however, is to feed
it in connection with less valuable
bulky food, using bran or linseed meal
to make the ration better and more ac-
ceptable, and especially should this
course be pursued when there has been
short hay crop.

CAUSE OF ROPY MILK.

Farmers who consider $500 too high
for fourteen-pound butter cow should
remember that no outlay is too great
provided the returns therefrom are sat
isfactory. There is a great difference
in the price Of pure bred Jersey and
q common cow. but there is also a wide
difference in the butter produced, a
COW is valuable only according tc
what she produces and the cost. One
COW producing fourteen pounds of but
ter is more profitable than two COWS
producing seven pounds each, because
she requires less room and also entails
less expense for food and labor, thu.
producing butter at lower cost pei
pound.

City Allows Another $1OO
 Toward Bridge.

The city council granted another slOO toward the construction of the bridge across the Skagway river at Sixteenth avenue. The allowance was made on condition that the people on the west side ot the river give another SlOO toward the same end. A. K. Wii,.t represented those interested be- fore the council. He showed that S20O more would build another pier and carry the bridge to the island which has never been covered with water.
 The bills for work done on the streets and the work on the river were allowed. The street work has amounted to S32O to date and the work of fixing the bank Of the river and protecting them against an overflow, was s2OO.
