The factory which has for it's car men, the payment of an honest days pay for an honest days work, and which instills into it's employees prin- clples of loyalty and honesty, need have no fear of labor troubles. It is the record of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, says writer in the Engineer
 ing Magazine, that they have never had 2 strike, neither do they discrim- mate in favor of or against the union men. The workmen know that the latch string to the head of the estah- lishment is always out, and that any one, of whatsoever station, can secure a respectful hearing of any grievance he may have. It takes years of good faith before the workingmen can un- derstand that principles such as these are traditions of plant, and if such traditions are to be kept alive they must be instilled in sufficient num- Der of men to form the back bone of the later element. It is a difficult matter to teach an old dog new tricks, so that the apprentices offer the most fertile field for the development of good loyal body of men. The Bald win Locomotive Works have always maintained a system of apprentice
 ship. and the certificate of Edward Longstreth, who rose from the appren- tices rank to that of proprietor, is evidence not only of the establishment of the system in the early sixties, but also as to it's effectiveness. h Janu- ary of 1901, however, a new system was inaugurated in which the appren- tices are divided into three classes.

The April statement of foreign trade was better than expected, says Banker Clews. Our exports were $1O9, ,995. .0O0, slight increase over last year, while our imports declined over millions to $S3, ,496, ,0OO, leaving an excess of 261s millions in exports, compared with 2 millions last year. Had 1t not been for the high price oh- tained for our cotton, however, there would have been material decrease in exports, the general tendency of which has been to diminish. The de cline in imports is, of course. attribu- table to lessened trade activity at home. Evidences which confirm the latter are decreased railroad earnings, the shrinkage in bank clearings, de- pression in the iron trade, and in- creased curtailment in the cotton in dustry. These factors. however, are exerting little effect upon the stock market. because they have already been we'll discounted by the previous decline. First class securities are well held in spite of such develop ments. and one of the most satisfac- tory features of the situation is the goods demand for prime investments. This is usually one of the first signs of approaching recovery, and it must not be forgotten that Wall street has an odd fashion of apparently running counter to prevailing conditions, be- cause it discounts them ahead. Until the crops. the election and some other minor doubts are cleared away, how ever there is little chance of any pro- nouneed general recovery in Wall street and, as suggested above. a sharp watch will have to be kept upon the effects of the gold movement and treasury operations upon the money market.

Turkeys For Profit,

Some time ago it was stated that in
the opinion of the writer of the item
and other experts, the failure of the
turkey crop i'll the fall OF 1903 was
very largely due to the general practice
OF in-breeding. 1t is therefore oppor-
tune to warn those who raise turkeys
to make sure that the tom turkey is
brought from breeder at some dis
tance from you so that there will be
no trouble on this score.
BY some little effort one could dis
pose of their own toms to breeders
who were looking for such birds for
mating purposes, and with the pro-
ceeds buy equally good birds who were
not related to their hens. There is
money in turkeys il the breed is kept
up to the standard and they can be
raised on range of good size and
Kept on that range SO that the eggs
can be secured for Matching. The indi-
cations are that the fall and winter
demand for turkeys will be large.

Nitrogen.

Some years ago a popular illustrated
magazine published some highly imag-
NATIVE articles describing how every
thing would burn up when the farmers.
through the cultivation of lcgumes, had
drawn all the nitrogen from the air.
II. G. S., in HOard'S Dairyman, saws:
ITS going to be many years before
what is knownnow will diffuse through
the mass of ignorance that prevails.
and consequently ii will be long time
before there will be less nitrogen in
the air because it has been stored up in
the soil for mans benefit, and longer
still before we shall have replaced the
stores that nature had accumulated
through long ceuturieS." The fact is
that all the spcculations on this sub.
ject leave out of view the fact that no
matter how much nitrogen we may
capture from the air we cannot keep if
for it is ever returning thithcr and the
supply in the air can never grow less
Every chimney in the land is sending
1T back to the air, every neglected ma
nurc pile is doing The same thing. and
the old rule in nature that everything
must be used over and over again will
prevent any diminution in the supply.
We may get nitrogen in various combi-
nations but ere long it becomes free
gas and returns to its source for some
one to combine and use over again.
The combined forms that exist in ma
turc in the shape of nitrate of soda
may be used up, and the nitrogen that
we get rs by-DrOduct in the manu-
facture of gas from coal may become
totally inadequate for the purpose OF
making fertilizers, but so long as the
legumeS are intelligently cultivated
and used in a proper rotation there
Will always be nitrogen enough for
great crops, and the supply in the air
will be kept good by its hccting nature.
We may locate it in crops, but the con-
sumption OF the crops sends it back to
the air. and the bacteria work over the
Ofral Of all sorts, releasing it as nitrate
to be washed away if not used by
plants. And if 1t is washed into the
sea we can get back Il large part of it
in the refuse from fish oil factories. so
that the everlasting round will be kept
UP and there will always be over every
acre of land 75,000,0O0 pounds Of nitro
gen for the wise farmer to draw upon.
1t even might be blessing in disguise
if combined nitrogen became unavail-
able for the making of fertilizers, so
that all would he compelled to learn
how to get it free of cost.-practical

Scratching Shed For Poultry.

Many poultry Keepers have decided
that to make the hens lay well in cold
weather they must provide for them a
shed attached to the hcnhousc where
they can have during the day a place
to exercise by scratching in the earth
after they have eaten their food, and at
the same time get the pure air of ont
Of doors, without being exposed to
snow, rain or even cold winds. For
this purpose they build scratching
she'd attachment to their poultry
houses, as large, or perhaps larger,
than the house in which they stay
nights, and III this they feed them and
allow them to spend most of their time
when the weather allows While we
arc not yet satisfied that a shed has ad-
VantageS superior to house that is en-
closed upon all sides, and therefore,
comfortably warm all day and every
day, but which can yet be we'll ventil-
ated and admit the sunlight we pre-
sent 1T to our readers as very well
planned attachment, which can be
built upon the south side Of almost any
hennery, covering but part of the
yard, and yet probably pleasant
scratching place for the poultry in win
ter. In shed of this kind they can
nave more room, more liberty and
purer air than in the ordinary hcnnery.
and the only question in our mind is
whether its cost could not be better
expended in building more houses and
keeping a less number of fowl in each
se.-Massachusetts ploughman.

TosoaaANINa IN THE ALPS.
slide Upon Which Record Of Almost
Mile Minute Has Been Made.

st. Moritz Is one of the highest viii
lagos in the Bngadipe, having an alti-
tude OF about 5000 feet, and is a great
centre OF winter sports; 1t is conse-
quently much frsquented by English
and other nationalities who enjoy the
sports Of skating, curling, toboggan-
ing, ski-ing and handy, which can here
be obtained under the best cond. uons.
Good tobcgganing may be had in other
places, but at st. Moritz 1t is carried
to fine art, and only an expert can
expect to compete successfully on the
renowned "Cresta" toboggan run, with
its wonderful curves and banks. The
name Cresta Is derived from small
village Of that name near the finish
of the course
The course is little over three
quarters Of mile in length, with a
difference Of elevation, from the start
to finish, Of about COO feet; the grad
lent varies at different points, being
most steep at the church leap.
AS only one toboggan can occupy
the track at time, the races are all
decided by the time taken to complete
the course. The record time from the
start to the finish is at present 61 Clio
seconds, this entailing a speed of sixty
miles an nour or more On the fastest
parts. The curves OF frozen snow are
built up with high banks accurately
shaped to allow the tobogganer to go
round them at the greatest speed, the
highest bank being about twenty-five
feet in height. These different banks
have we'll known names, such as the
Battledore and Shuttlecock, Scylla and
Charybdis and Bulpett Corner. The
whole track is practically of ice, and
after passing the finish it has for a
short distance steep upward grad
lent, the great momentum obtained
carrying the tobogganer uphill.
The toboggans used are Of lne
Skeleton" pattern, with steel run
ners, the tobogganer lying in prone
position and steering with his feet,
by means of spikes attached to the
toes Of his boots. The principal race
run on the Cresta is the Grand Ma
tional which takes place at the end
of February or beginning Of March,
and might be called the Derby of to-
bogganing, competitors coming from
Davos and other PAGES to take part IN
this contest.-Electrical Review.

Board Partitions.

When the poultry house is divided
into two or more apartments the parti-
tion should be of boards instead Of wire
or laths, as the warmth Of the bodies
of the fowls will induce cold currents
or air to flow from one end of the
house to the other. IL anyone doubts
this let him enter long poultry house
on cold day, where the partitions are
of wire and he will be convinced. In
continuous Qong) poultry house each
apartment should be boarded up the
same as IL q separate building.
