To prove to tenement dw,lle that

evolved which, now in it's third year,
is counted one Of the most unique and
most practical developments of social
settlement work In New York. Under
taken by the nurses settlement, the
model fat has been the object Of spe-

tredge. This lady rented four-room
fat In a tenement in the crowded East
Side. 1t is better than the worst, but
not so good as the best. She furnished
ii so simply that 1t contains nothing
the neighbors could not copy.
Once furnished. the model fiat be-
came the classroom for informal les
sons which begin with the cleaning of
the kitchen stove and run through
two full and well-thought-out courses
to laundry work and the preparation
of simple dinner. At first the classes
were of young girls from II to Is or
IL, and these have become so numer
GUS as to take up almost every hour
of morning, afternoon and evening, n
class usually numbering six. But
after the model fiat became better
known in the neighborhood, young
women about to be married came and
asked permission to form classes.
Many of them were factory and shop
girls, others were school teachers and
librarians. and although some Of them
had been born In New York, they had
never had opportunity to visit other
homes than those Of their own people,
from which they could learn nothing
of cleanliness or sanitation. much less
Of comfort and good taste. To hun
dreds of girls in the neighborhood the
fiat has come to be second home.
They have the liberty at all times Of

and bedroom. all furnished complete

Cost of FueI OiI

A San Francisco correspondent,
writing to London paper on petro-
leum conditions in California, says
that there is some difference of opin-
ion as to the cost Of pumping oil; In
other words, after you have bought
your land, sunk your wells, put up all
your machinery, tanks, ETC.. what
does it cost you to put oil on the top
OF the ground? or course. In this cost
you have to include interest on the
money invested and running expenses,
superintendent, office. etc. We can
see why there should be such a differ
ence of opinion on this subject, as
salaries and office expenses can be
run up to any figure desired; but 10
we'll corporation, where
salaries are no higher than they
would be in any ordinary business. If
put 1t at cents a barrel, l am sat
isfied that am making it as high as
IL legitimately should be. Some Ut
the beSt- managed companies do it at
much less figure, aud these are the
companies which pay dividends.
AS to the saving of oil over coal, we
haye been using it sufficiently long
to get very thorough knowledge,
and when we say that we saved so per
cent, we are rather below than above
the mark. The use Of oil on steam
ships is increasing very rapidly, and
there are now over 200 marine boilers
in use out Of this port. The saving
there is much larger than on shore,
as it includes cOaling, space for coal,
which is utilized for freight, weight,
which is one third less; speed. which
is increased more than half, labor
in fire rooms, and the absence of dirt
in the form Of ashes, etc. under
stand that Mr.. Spreckels is saving in
the neighborhood of 5000 per day on
the steamer MaripOsa, which runs
from San Francisco to Tahiti, and
that the speed has Increased one knot
an hour. When the railroads are
prepared TO use oil eXclusively-in
other words. when they have tanks
completed al along their road, which
will take some little time yet, per-
haps by the end of this year, they
will be using over 10000 900 barrels
per year. -Pacifi c Oil Reporter.

Parties recently returning from the
Kayak, Alaska, district, claim that
the field has proven an absolute fail
ure as far as the production Of oil is
c )ncerned. Altogether sixteen we'll,
nave been drilled during the season,
all Of which have been failures. The
two wells claimed to have been
brought in oil wells year ago are
still furnishing enough oil TO fire two
or three boilers. This oil was found
10 q shale formation, 1t is claimed
that an earthquake which visited
that section some two or three years
ago must haye crevised the oil STRAIT
um enough to allow the oil to esca pc
from the sand, which was struck 10
all of the sixteen wells. This sand is
said to show traces of oil. AS a coal
field the district is surprising every
expectation, the main setback being
the lack of a suitable harbor. The
coal industry, however, is not very
attractive one on the Pacific Coast at
this time, the low price of fuel oil
putting a damper on almost anything
in this line. We look for no early
development of the Kayak coal fields
although change from present con-
ditlons might make them very valu.
able. The rapid development of the
Santa Maria field In this State is
keeping the attention of capitalists
pretty we'll at home.

The Moisture of Good Hay.

The moisture content of hay when
1t is put into the NOW varies greatly,
this depending largely on the way in
which II is cured. Some hay that is
made from grass cut late and cured
in dry weather has in it so little
moisture that during the winter il
may frequently increase in weight.
AS a usual thing, hay does not in
crease in weight during the winter.
If 1t is cut quite green and stored in
an imperfectly cured condition it will
often be found with such large per-
centage of moisture in it that spon.
taneous com bustiOn is possible. Hay
cured properly will have in 1t con-
siderable quantity OF moisture and
will tend to lose this moisture during
the winter, and this loss will equal
ten per cent of the bulk in many in
stances.

rope into the well. She instructed her

PRACTICAL co. oPERAT.oN
Western Grain Raisers Band Together
to Get Fair Prices for Their
Farm Products.

The tendency OF the times is toward
cooperation, and the most interesting
movement just now is seen in the CO.
operative associations being formed in
the middle west The growth of this
movement for the consolidation of grain
raiSers has been upon far different
basis from the visionary plan of early
lays. In the first place these associa-
lions are in the hands Of sbrewd bust
ness men, who can handn financial af-
fairs in a way to produce results 1t
Is said that one of the wealthiest and
most successful millers in the west,
whose mills are reputed to bring a profit
OF 500, 200 a year is now manager of a
long line Of farmers elevators. and at
meeting at Kansas City a few days
ago il was reported that 70 elevators
scattered through Oklahoma. Kansas
and Nebraska are listed in the associa-
ton. 1t was reported that the stock
holders had received a dividend of eight
per cent after paying expenses. and
We're selling grain at a larger profit
than could be secured from the ordi-
nary elevators.
The plan of the cooperation is purely
busfness-like, with politics and senti-
ment in the background. The stock
holders are farmers, and the elevators
are run on a basis of actual cost the
profit being returned to the farmer in
dividends. The key item in the man
agement is the requirement that every
producer is to sell to the association
elevator, or if he sells elsewhere shall
pay one cent a bIshel Of the amount
received to the association company.
| This makes it impossible for their
rivals to run them out of business by
| bidding higher for grain The towns
where these association elevators have
/ been established for four years are ia
vorably impressed with the plan, and
| the MANAGEMENT has continued to re-
turn profits, the numbers are being
! extended. and there are enough now to
compel the railroads to give them equal
, privileges with the old line institutions.
