Washington.-The United States a
penal colony of the Baltic states.
The United States dumping ground
for the paupers Of southern Europe.
The United States the Mecca of
thousands Of immoral Hungarian
women.
There are in the desks of govern
ment officials in Washington reports
containing evidence to prove the above
statements that are so strongly word
ed that they dare not be published
until the government is ready to act,
for the reports are but an arrangement
of the governments of southern Europe
FOR completely in wholesale schemes for
the violation of United States immi-
grafton laws.
These reports are received from the
most trustworthy sources, one of
which is from government agent,
paid to Investigate the conditions
abroad, and whose persistency in that
direction has SO aroused at least one
European nation that it's paid spies
have followed him all over Europe;

Buda-Pesth when he violently objected
60 this procedure.
Out of this later incident will grow
a vigorous effort on the part of the
government to so change the immigra-
ton laws as to put a stop to the dump
ing of Europe's undesirable classes
upon our shores.
An Investigator Selected.
Marcus Braun, born in Hungary,
though now citizen of the United
States, was selected by President
Roosevelt to act as special agent
of the United States in investigating
the wholesale violations of our immi-
grafton laws. The request for such
an appointment came through the
anti-vice societies of Philadelphia,
which were anxious to put a stop to
the white slave" traffic by which
thousands of Hungarian women were
being sent to the United States for
immoral purposes. Mr.. Braun's in

Checking the Lottery Evil.

The secret service officials believe
that the sale of lottery tickets in this
country has been effectualiy broker
up by a number of arrests and con-
fiscation of tickets at different points.
The headquarters of the lottery COM
bine was in San Francisco, but they
had travelling men On the road esta6
Lshing agencies. Nearly all the men
prominently identified with the con-
Germ have been arrested, and arrests
have been made in half dozen diff
ferent different cities of the country
of people who received shipments OF
tickets. Secre- service agents have
done nest of tho work, but where
there were 10 agents the arrests have
been made by United States marshals.
The prosecution of the lottery people
was started by the district attorney
of San Francisco, and he has been
helped by the department of justice,
Assistant Attorney General Purdy be-
ing in charge. There is little doubt,
says the Washington Star, that tho
business will be broken up. The law
prevents the shipment of lottery tick
cts by any form Of conveyance in
this country, and the person who re-
ceives such ticket is as liable as the
person who shipped it.

StructionS were TO investigate the sub
ject of Immigration of Europeans into
the United States in general. He has
been Swallowed almost since the day
of his appointment both in this coun-
try and in Europe, and every effort has
been made to secure evidence that
would convict him of being a spy.
His mail has been rifed, and it was
when he caught Hungarian detective
in the act of breaking open his trunk
in a Buda- Pesth hotel that he adj
ministered to him such punishment as
brought upon himself the vengeance of
outraged Hungarian justice in the
form of an arrest and fine to the ex-
tent of ten dollars. Fortunately the
Hungarian detective secured nothing
of value In the way of evidence, but
there have been times when his search
might have proven of more value to
his government, for Mr.. Braun has
had in his possession and has for
warded to Washington damaging docu-
ments that the Hungarian government
would not like to have confront them.
These reports have never been print
ed. They have never been examined
save by three or four heads of i'm

by the president, but sufficient has
leaked out to enable us to give the

is only fair to say that nearly every
other state in the union is represented
during the years business.
Another form of abuse is the i'm
portation of women from the Levant
and elsewhere by naturalized Amer
lean citizens. All these women are
required to do is to state under oath
that they are the wives of the men
sending for them and they are allowed
to depart for the United States with
out restriction, becoming American
citizens by virtue of their husbands
naturalization.
eff they are refused transportation
because of coming within the prohib-
tied classification of the American i'm
migration law they send to the United
States for certified copy of their al
legged husbands naturalization papers
and secure a passport in that man
ner. There is no proof of marriage
under the present system. Should the
United States government decide to re-
quire passport from each immigrant,
certified by the officials of the land
of his nativity, this abuse could be

Bogus American Citizens.
In the city of Jerusalem Mr.. Braun
found over 1000 American citizens"
the vast majority of whom, being He
brews, live there for religious pur-
poses. These alleged citizens, al
though they enjoy and avail them
selves of the high privilege and protec
ton of American citizenship, are in
truth and in fact not Americans at all,
and quite number of them have be-
come naturalized by fraud. In some
instances the fraud by which these
people became naturalized was so
f1agrantly apparent that Mr.. Braun
was induced thereby to procure,
through the United States consul,
some of the certificates of naturaliza-
ton and United States passports, as
well as other papers and documents Of
those suspected.
1t is the opinion Of Mr.. Braun, as
well as others well yersed in immi-
grant conditions in this country. that
over 100000 aliens come here who, al
though they may be able to earn a
living, are yet of bad character, bad
antecedents or of diseased blood
Their coming benefits nobody but the
steamship companies.

The Value of Pasture for Hogs.

MANY hog raiSers have yet to learn
the great value of pasture for growing
swine. Ii is safe to say that not one
half of the hogs are provided with a
sufficient supply of succulent pasture,
and the losses thereby sustained are
beyond comprehension. Pasture is
not only economical from the stand
point of making more pork, with much
less grain, but it furnishes succulence
and variety, and keeps the hogs in
more healthy condition. The Kansas
Experiment Station took so shoats aver
aging 52 pounds in weight, and divided
them into three as near equal lots as
possible. One lot was placed on half
acre of alfalfa pasture, one on one acre
Of rape and the third in dry lot, that is
it contained no green feed. All were
fed the same kind of grain and had
access to water. The results obtained
in this experiment show that it took IL
pounds more grain to make. 100 pounds
of pork without pasture than with II.
The rape pasture that contained Que acre
and pastured ten pigs for IS days had
POP pounds of pork to it's credit, as com
pared with the lot without pasture. and
there were 2O4 pounds of pork to the
credit of the half acre of alfalfa pasture.
This experiment emphasizes the great
value of pasture for hogs, and also the
superior value of alfalfa. A large per
cent of the barren hog pastures, or those
grown up to weeds, could easily be
sown to rape, and thereby made to yield
handsome profit on the Investment OF
saad and labor

Growing into Farming.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer says
that Thomas Edison, one of the elec-
trical wizards of the age, grew into his
profession. He began before he was ten
years old. If you want the farmer boy
to do great things and be successful on
the farm, we must let him grow into the
profession of farming, if that be his
natural bent. Give your boy some Ian d
to care for. Give him something on
which to exercise his thinking and
reasoning powers. He will meet prob
lens all his life that he must solve him
self. The problems he will have To
solve in caring for piece of land will
develop and train his thinking and ex-
ecutive powers. This work will make
him active and Industrious.
Your boy is forming habits for his
future life, and little effort exerted
now in the right direction will have ten
times more effect than in ten years from
now. Therefore if you want your boys
to be farmers you should begin while
they are young and give them the oppor-
tuuity of growing into their profession!
Make him feel that he is essential on
the farm. Consult him. Say to him,
"How would you do this?" Remember
your boy has good ideas as well as you.
Don't be an absolute monarch and think
your way is the only way. Your son
will be interested in the farm if he
thinks the welfare of the farm depends
partly on him. Then it will not be long
until you can take him into sort OF
partnership and relax a little yourself
and say, Il know he will do it all right
for he has learned how by planning
with me. New England Farmer.

Foreign Apple Markets.

NV latest cable advices from the prin-
cipal apple markets in England are to
the effect that arrivals of American
apples, so far, have been light, and in
some instances the fruit somewhat out
of condition, although coming in re-
frigeration; but such consisted of varie-
ties that should never have been ship
ped, being not fully developed at time OF
shipment and inferior in quality. All
the well conditioned parcels, such as
Gravensteins, Wealthys, Reds, Kings, in
fact. all the red varieties, met an ex-
ceedingly good demand, and sales took a

A Successful Maine Farmer.

There is probably no man in the state
of Maine who has made greater sue
cess through honest labor and fair
dealings with everybody, or one who
has won greater host of friends than
Albion Rickerof Turner, says the Water
vile Sentinel. He is now in his Goth
year.
This man was always known as a
hustler. He has raised and shipped as
many apples as any farmer in the state.
Mr.. Kicker has passed the last "a or
81 years of his life on what was formerly
the Sweet farm. Two years ago this
farm produced $500 barrels of the best
salable apples, and over 125 barrels of
choice pears. Last year, an off year for
the orchard, only 1900 barrels of apples
were sold and few pears, although
over $, 900 worth of produce was placed
on the market.
Until recently Mr.. Kicker has taken an
active part in the everyday work on the
farm. Now he has left the harder part
of the work to younger hands.

What Is the Shrinkage?
Editor Democrat

| agricultural Editor Democrat.
| 1t will soon be time to cut such kinds
of wood as they want green, dowel,
clothespin and spool wood, and possibly
some who hauled seasoned wood last
winter, such as pulp and cord wood, and
intend to market green wood the coming
winter, would be interested to learn the
difference in weight between green and
seasoned wood.
One writer claimed that cord wood
prepared for market and allowed to
season through the summer, will shrink
so per cent in weight and consequently
that amount is dispensed with in
handling it.
But it seemed to me the difference
could not be SO great, and on expert
menting with different kinds of hard
wood, weighing the sticks green, then
splitting them nearly into quarters and
allowing them to season year under
cover, the loss by weight was found to
be trifle less than one third; but SO
near we will call it just that or 33 Is
per cent.
Now, as a cord of green hard wood is
said to weigh three tons, or sixty hun
dred pounds, it evaporated two thousand
pounds of moisture during the process
of drying. At first thought that seems
incredible, and yet there can be no
doubt of its correctness, thus furnishing
another proof that truth is stranger
than fiction"
Supposing We carry this subject
little further so as to see what it amounts
to in solid and liquid measure. A cubic
foot of rain water weighs 62 1-2 pounds;
but emitting the fraction and dividing
2000 by 90 we have trifle over 80 cubic
feet of water in single cord of green,
hard wood.
Again, a gallon of rain water weighs
about ten pounds, 50 by dividing 2OOO
by that number we have 200 gallons of
water from the same source. Impossi-
BILE! Perhaps you again exclaim, and so
it almost seems; but still we claim the
above figures to be approximately cor
rect. Hence the advantage of marketing
dry wood instead of green when prac-
ticable.
How much our common grasses, such
as herdsgrass and clover shrink,-if cut
in the blossom-during the process of
drying fol- hay we do not know; but
have an idea that the shrinkage is some
what greater than in wood.

Educating the Bows Hands.

If the farmers son is determined to
leave the farm the following from the
Southern Agriculturist contains valu
able lesson.
A farmer boy In Alabama determined
to make a large man of himself. He
learned all he could from books in the
limited time that he had to spare from
the necessary work to be done on the
where he passed session in the me-
chanical department of the college.
After the money he had accumulated by
his own hands had been exhausted he
had to leave college, and sought employ
ment at Birmingham. He applied at
one of the iron furnaces where there is
of necessity much machinery. He was
given employment at 81 per day. After
he had worked ten days the furnace
owners discovered that he could repair
an engine or other machinery as readily
as an experienced mechanic. The young
man was placed over the mechanical de-
partment of the furnace and his salary
was raised to 81 per day. This was his
reward for making a man of himself,
and not being too lazy to learn the use
of tools, and how to sling the sledge
hammer SO as to form the red iron into
thing of utility.
Farmer boys! When you read the
above facts, resolve in your mind to
devote each evening at home filling your
minds with useful knowledge pertaining
to farm employment, as such informa-
ton sometimes doubles the crops and
the wages they pay to farmer boys. If
you have the money to pay your way
during the winter at some university to
hear lectures on agricultural questions,
do not fail to do so. 1t will increase
your resources for the future four-fOld.
The world does not need more doctors,
lawyers, teachers or preachers, but it is
calling for farmers! 1t is asking where
can man be found who knows how to
change the soil; how to plant and man
age an orchard; how to sharpen plow
or to repair a thresher? If you under
stand these things you will be paid
large salary to become the manager of a
plantation. The places are to be found.
Are Won qualified to fill them?
