OUR GREATEST FARM INDUSTRY.
Live Stock Business Leads Any Other
by More than 5 ,OOO, 100000.

II may be news to the average small
farmer that the live stock farms of the
United States. considering all the farm
property In and on the farms, exceeds
in value any other one class of farm
Investment by more than Sl,OO0,0OO, 900.
One billion in itself is a phrase of ire
mendous import. When it is considered
as a mere excess of figures marking the
size of one farming industry over an
other, the reader begins to appreciate
just what the farming industry in this
country may mean.
Hay and grain are tremendous fac
tors in the welfare of the country. TAX
ing the census returns of 1900 as a con-
sentative and accurate basis for COM
PARSONS. the value of the farm property
invested in the l .319.S56 hay and grain
farms of the United States was $6,3I9.-
54S,543. But on the other hand the l.
564, ia farms devoted to live stock show
ed total valuation of 81, 900, 2S4,213,
ranking the one great classification by
81 ,125, 731 100. and exceeding the valua-
ton of king cotton" and its lands by
more than :s6.000,000.000. And to lend
still greater emphasis to these figures
for live stock in the United States, the
hay and grain lands average S3o.34 TO
the acre. the live stock farms show
$21.14, and the cotton lands Sl2.36 to the
acre. The average stock farm had 1868
acres, the hay and grain farm had 1898
acres, and the cotton farm had S3.6
acres Aside from the specific classi-
ications mentioned above, only the dairy
farm interests of the country passed the
billion mark in valuation. exceeding the
cotton industry by $5O0000,0o0.
In n strict sense the dairy interests
of the country belong to the live stock
totals of the United States. If these
farms and valuations should be taken to-
gether their totals would show 1922. 1872
farms, valued at $9.19S. 751 ,5T5, and pro-
ducing in the year of 1899 total of S.
039 ,0S9,J92. of which the strictly live
stock farms produced the overwhelming
proportion of $1654. ,912. Compared
to this strictly live stock production for
that year, the hay and grain farms of the
country fell short of it by $4l0,000,000.

New Workers Who Waste Money
Through ThoughtIessness-
The Absent-Minded Beggar" has
plenty of counterparts in New York,
as the marlborough Rapid Transit
Company and the subtreasury officials
have cause to know. Perhaps the CON-
monest form such absent mindedness
takes is the dropping coins into the
ticket choppers box Ola Il" stations.
The amount of money thus inadver-
tently thrown away in a year. say the
Interborough officials. is tremendous,

The usual method of procedure is
this: A man hurrying to catch train
slams down coin at the ticket win
dow, gathers up his change in one
hand and his ticket in the other and
hastens on in pursuit of the "gat c
ajar." Forgetting in which hand the
ticket is. he dumps his handful of
change into the chopping machine. A
jerk of the lever and it vanishes from
view.
BY making proper application the
man with the absentee thinking appa-
ra1us can, of course. recover his
money. but he will find it sadly
changed since he last saw it. for the
interior of the box is fitted up with a
powerful apparatus for mutilating tick

The new rifle is covered with a
wooden case up to within two inches

blistered. The magazine is entirely

corn yield of 2464. 100000 bushels is
Indicted for 1904, ms compared with "a

Needs of Human Heart.
DIR. Lyman Abbott, in a sermon to
Harvard students, has announced his be-
lief in a religion founded not on the Bible
but on science md the outreachings of
the human heart. says Il World dispatch
from Cambridge, Mass.
Il wonder" he said. If you will under
stand me when | say that | no longer
believe in a great first cause. My God
is a great and eyer-present fore. which is
manifest in all the activities of man and
all the workings of nature.
Il believe in a God who is in and
through and Of everything-not an alb
sentee God. whom we have TO reach
through n Bible or some other outside
aid. but a God who is closer to as than
hands or feet. Science literature and
history tell US that there is one eternal
energy. that the Bible no longer can be
accepted as ultimate that many Of its
laws We're copied from other religions,
that the ten commandments did not
spring spontaneouSy from Moses, but
were. like all laws, gradual growth, aud
that man is an evolution. not a creation.
No thinking man will say there are
many energies. The days Of polytheism
are past. There is only one energy.
That energy has always been working.
1t is an intelligent energy. No scientist

Christ's time, even as it is now"

Nearly all religious sects, as their fig

than in previous years says the New
York Herald. In several denominations
the ratio of growth exceeds the usual
ratio of increase in the population. This
is notably the case in the Episcopal
church, which last year gained per
cent on its membership of the previous
year, while the population growth is es-
timated at about . per cent The Epis-
copal church has added 25,915 to its S07,-
Sol.
In the Presbyterian church the in
crease in membership last year was at
the rate of 2la per cent, the gain in
members being 27.431 and the total num-
her 1,094,00S Last years gain was
> 1-5 per cent The Southern Presbyte-
Eian church, a smaller body than the
Northern, having but 239, $50 members,

PLOT TO KILL THE CAR.
Russian Secret Service Men Claim Co
Have Discovered Such.

Russian secret service agents claim 10
have discovered a new end alarmingly
formidable plot TO assass nate the Gear,
The discovery. coming at the same time
with the frantic anti-war demonstration
i'll front of the Governors palace at
Moscow, has caused great excit cement.
The secret service has discovered that
the plot to assassinate the Car and
other Russian leaders was laid in Eng
land. and hurried requests were sent TO
the police of London, Manchester and
Liverpool to seize the plotters. 1t is now
known that many, perhaps all. of the
plotters fed England before the warn
ing reached the secret police there, and
they are believed TO have reached Rus
sia on their errand of murder.
The wild unrest following the stu
dents riots and anti-war riots in Moscow,
st. Petersburg and other Russian cities
will, it is feared, serve TO hide The plot
ters until they cun make their attempt
ON the life of the Gar and his minis
tiers.
The plot, it is declared. was discovered
through the seizure of discriminating cor
respondence between plottcrs in Moscow
and in Manchester, England, and the
two men wanted at Manchester had fled
before they could be apprehended.
-Four persons were killed and sixty
wounded during the battles between the
troops and the 5000 students assembled
in fronI IF the Governors palace in Mos
cow. Three hundred have been arrest
ed. More than 5000 students participant
ed in the riots and they were not dis
persed until after the police had mad"
savage attacks with drawn sabers and
had fired several yolleys into the crowd.
The authorities knew in advance that
trouble was impending. and several
