A CITY WITHOUT TAXES.
All the Expenses of Freudenstadt,
 Germany, Paid by Property Income

In the Black Forest of Germany is the little city of Freudenstadt with about 1000 inhabitants, busy industrial place with iron and chemical works of some importance, says the New York Sun.
 Small as it is, Freudenstadt is full fledged city with mayor, aldermen, half dozen policemen and a fire engine. The public business is conducted on an economical basis, and the total ex- penses do not exceed $25, ,O00 in year
 Freudenstadt has the distinction of being the only city in Germany, and per haps in the world which does not tax the citizens 8 dollar for municipal. ex- penses The yearly net revenue. from the public property covers all the outgo.
 This property consists of about 5000 acres of fine forest, which, being man aged under the best forestry methods, ia a permanent source of income One or more trees are planted for every one that is cut down No tree is cut till 1t can yield the maximum profit.
 After deducting all the expenses of the industry the annual profit to the acre is about five dollars. This is ex- ceptional even for Germany, where the annual profit ranges from s to $4.50.
 The question is often asked in this country whether 1t will pay to keep land under permanent forest. Unless at least a moderate profit is possible, no one can be expected to grow trees on land that can be used for any other purpose.
 The Rhode Island experiment station is now giving some attention to this question, and in bulletin just prepared by Prof. F. W. Card some interesting figures are presented. He cites the ex- perience of Zachariah Allen, of Rhode Island, who planted a worn pasture with trees in 1920 and kept careful financial record till 1877, 57 years. After deduct ing all expenses he found that his profit was nearly seven per cent per annum on the original investment.
 . There is also record of the returns on a 40-acre tract of white pine in New Hampshire for 30 years during which time the average annual profit was $3.75 an acre. The facts given by Prof Card seem to show that only moderate profit is to be expected from forests treated as permanent cropp. Perhaps we cannot make as much money in this industry as is made in Europe, where every part of a tree can be marketed at some price. even the small branches and twigs being gathered into, bundles and sold for firewood.

Bolton Democrat.
The other day we heard two men
talking about hogs. One of them
said: There is no telling how
much a man can lift with one hand.
Yesterday I sold a hog that weigh
ed $50 pounds and I could lift him
from one pen into another easily
with one had. commenced to do
that when he was a little pig, lift
ing him every day from one pen
into the other by the ear with one
hand Said the other I do not
doubt it, for l have done the same
thing, and will tell YOU another
thing I did. I built two pens close
together and put a pig in one Of
them I fixed up that pen for a
bed room. and fed him in the other,
I made a hole in the partition just
large enough for him to crawl
through comfortably, and every
time he was fed he had to go
through that hole. Well yesterday
I sold that pig, and he weighed
just 400 pounds. He seemed to get
through the hole on the last day
as easily as he did on the first

A BLACK SCHEME.
Republicans to CoIonize Indiana.

Indianapolis, Oct. 5.-The dem
ocratc State central committee is
III possession of evidence, in the
form Of a letter to a republican
county chairman, that the republi-
cans have entered on a systematic
attempt to import negroes into this
State from Kentucky and Tennes-
see to vote at the coming election.
An agency for the importation of
negroes has oeen established at
Henderson, Ky, and the man in
charge of it has been a frequent
visitor to republican headquarters
in this city. The republican man
ayers say that they have been look
ing up negroes in Kentucky who
belong in Indiana, but who are
temporarily out of the State.
That part of the letter which was
given out by the democratic COM
mittee is a notification that list

THE TRUSTS MOVE.
Has Showed Up the Price of Meat.

New York, Oct. 4.-Unless every
sign known to the world or the
wholesale meat trade in the prin-
cipal cities is at fault, the house
wife, whose life is spent in anxious
plotting to make one dollar do the
work of two, and i'll pitched battle
with the butcher, baker and grocer,
will be compelled this year to pay
considerably more for the staple
articles of the Thanksgiving dinner
than ever before.
The dressed beef and packing
houses, who control the supply and
regulate the market, have decrsed
that the price Of prime ribs to the
wholesale trade shall be II cents a
pound; that mutton, which ordi-
narily sells at 8 or ! cents, shall be
9 cents to the wholesaler. This
means that the woman with the
market basket, after the wholesale
dealer has obtained his profit from
the retail butcher on basis of 10
cents a pound, will pay from q to
% cents a pound for the best prime
beef, and probably y cents a pound
for mutton Twice since the beef
strike have the big houses raised
their prices from IS cents, which
prevailed before the labor troubles,
until now they fix the rate at II
cents, with the prospect of a still
further rise.

NURSING THE SOIL.
Some Texans have inaugurated
the Solari method of agriculture.
It is merely a new name for a
method that many intelligent farm
ers have pursued for years. But
that does not argue that there IS
net vast room for Improvement. 1t
seems that the SoIari system has
been in operation a score of years
in districts of Spain and Italy and
has been attended with such salts
factory results that it promises uni
versal adoption in agricultural in
dustry. If the operation Of the
system is closely analysed it will
be seen that it bears a close anal
ogy to the regime Of rotation farm
ing in vogue in England for half a
century.
It's a scientific rotation of crops.
predicated on the new discoveries
Of soil adaptation and The inter
dependence Of one crop upon an
other. The more recent discoveries
in plant growth and the effect of
bacteria in storing certain fertile
ing ingredients in the soil is fully |
exploited in the Solari system. I'll
Z IS regarded Is a full contamination
Of the philosophy Of manuring and
soil upbuilding, each crop being
stimulated by the fertility accumu.
lated by the preceding series.
1t IS a sister method of diversif-
cation, and the regime is to so al
ternate the cultivation of legumin-
Gus plants that they may be forced
TO the greatest possible perfection
by the fertility stored in the soil by
the previous crop. The nitrates
stored in the land by the operation
Of bacteria indigenous to the pre-
Ceding crop is utilized by succeeding
plants, which in their turn accu- ;
mulate fertility adapted to other
plants that follow in the stereotyp- {
ed rotation. l
As the chemists explain, the ben
eft of the Solari system of agri-
culture IS to increase the humus
and mineral elements that comprise
fertility of soil. The regime dem
ands that large proportion of the 5
crops used III the specific rotation v

YOUNG MAN BADLY HURT.
Falls Down Elevator Shaft Distance Of
Twenty Feet

Frank Allen nineteen years old, living at
at 3421 u street northwest had narrow
escape from being killed shortly after s
o'clock this morning by falling down an
elevator shaft at B. B. Earnshaw Broth
ers' place of business, 11O7 18th street south
east, where he was employed. He fell
about twenty feet, and was picked up I'M
conscious and hurredly conveyed to Pro-
violence Hospital in the patrol wagon from
the fifth precinct police station. AT the
hospital it was found that he was suffering
from conclusion of the brain. His cond-
tion is regarded as serious, but it is thought
he will recover.
Soon after arriving at work this morning
young Allen was sent to the second floor
to get sack of -four for customer. Sc
curing the flour he started in the direction
of the elevator shaft, which is protected by
a railing. The bar was taken out and AL
len, without stopping to see if the elevator
at that landing, which was at the time
one floor above, stepped from the floor into
space. He realized his mistake after put
ting out the first foot, but it was too late
to save himself. He called for help and at
the same time grabbed at the handle of a
heavy truck standing beside the shaft The
wheels of the truck began to turn, and had
it not been seized by several workmen
nearby the vehicle would have fallen down
the shaft and probably on top of Allen,
who was unable to retain his hold and fell
to the floor below, as stated.
