The Part Machinery Play. in farming

The future is full Of promise for
tired farmers. Machinery is doing
their work for them. Professor II. w.
Qnaintance Of the University OF Mis-
souri, finds that twenty-one men will
produce the same quantity Of our nine
principal crops including barley, rice,
c0tton, corn, oats, hay, potatoes, rye,
and wheat as one hundred farmers
would fly years ago. The total saving
thus annually effected in the United
States Is 45O, ,36s, 992 days OF good hon.
est toll When it is remembered that
under the cid order Of things 1t would
require nearly fifty million people to
produce the crop now raised by ten
million Of our population it must be
admitted that we are making rapid
progress in solving the problem Of
production.

The Ofiicial Vote.

The official canvass of the vote east
November : for presidential electors
Waa completed last Thursday, the -
Instant, with the announcement of the
result in Minnesota, North Dakota and
"ashingion, and the figures afford
several interesting points for study and
comparison. Here are the figures:

The total vote of 1900 was l3,96S, ,574,
or, in other words, there was falling
of in the total vote cast of 460, ,07S.
The Mckinley majority in that year
was 467,046 over all and S50,9S4 over
Bryan, while the Roosevelt excess over
Parker is 2,j74,5s2. II the 460.07S de-
crease in the total vote be added to the
vote for Parker the Roosevelt lead
would still be 20S7,5O4. This is noted
simply as an incentive to reflection on
the part Of those optimistic Democratic
friends, like the editor of the Spring
field Leader, who claim that the Dem
cratic stay-athomes are responsible for
the result, and that it was not so very
much of u shower after all.
There are many other items of In
forest to be extracted from the figures
by one who has time and the patie nee
to make comparisons and work OFT de-
ductiOns, but this must suffice for this
article and occasion.

tin reporter who was watching the
workers with interest. They are Por.
to Ricans but still they are all working
harder than men OF most other ma
tionalities would. Tho reason Is that
they are getting good wages. being paid
at the rate OF 81 a day. Last weeb
fourteen Porto Ricans were working on
this job. They gave such satisfaction
that this week eight more have been
engaged so that there are now twenty
two Of them In all.
These men you see here are all city
bred men. coming from Ponce and 9th
or towns in Porto Rico. They were
used to getting about so cents day
in Porto Rico. being employed as un
skilled laborers on jobs such as thi,
one. These men do not want to work
for 60 cents q day. which is the wage
generally paid to Porto Ricans by the
local plantations.
THE men who work on the planta
lions are people who lived in the
country in Porto Rico. They were used
to getting about As cents a day In
wages SO that the work on the planta
tions suits them admirably"

BABY PARADE ,.
AT CARNIVAL

ASHBURK PARK, N j., Aug. 81
This was the day Of all days in the
summer season at this popular re-
sort. the day Of the annual baby pa
rade. which winds up the three days
carnival celebration. Old resorters,
who have visited here regularly for
years, were unanimous in the opin-
ion that the function today complete
ly eclipsed all of the similar efforts
In past years. The pageant started
from the beach auditorium and took
in the entire length of the board
walk. The floats were more gorgeous
than ever seen here before and the
same was true of the character CO.'S
tunes. An accurate count showed
that nearly 1000 little tots were in
line, while upward of 10000 specta-
tors lined the board walk and cheered
the pageant of infantry as it toddled
or was trundled along. The festiv-
tiles concluded with the customary
award Of prizes by the queen of the
carnival.

70 PROMOTE
FRUITFULNEsS

On the trees which have attained
bearing size and which show no in
clination of beginning to bear, the fol-
lowing method will be found effectual
and safe: Take sharp knife and make
three circles two feet from the ground
around the trunk of the tree, about
four inches apart, cutting through the
bark. The interruption caused in the
flow of the sap will check the growth
of the wood and produce the formation
of fruit buds for the next season. This
should be done at once.
