STANDARD OIL PIPE LINES.
The Cost CT Building and Operating

10000 Miles of Its Carrying System.
of building and operating pipe lines
is not now available, and no official
figures have ever been published show
ing the total mileage of existing pipe
lines-because it is the settled policy
of the Standard to keep these facts
securely locked against public scrut-
my But the investigation of 1899 de-
veloped two very significant admis-
@sions. In that year Mr.. Rockefeuer
stated, under oath, that ito perfect the
pipe line system transportation re-
quired in the neighborhood of $50,009,-
90 of capital In the two years i'm
mediately following-1900 and 1901
the cash dividends declared and paid
by the Standard Oil Company amount
ed to $4,000, 000-nearly double the
sum needed to perfect the entire
pipe line system then in use, and with
in $4,000, 000 of the entire capital of
the company, which is S100,000,000.
That clearly demonstrates the low
cost of pipe line construction, as re-
lated to the enormous profits of the
industry.
In the same year, 1899, Henry Fl.
Rogers testified as to the existing
mileage of the Standard pipe lines:
I'VE probably have $4,000 miles or
more scattered all over the country"
Since that time many additions and
extensions have been laid in every
oil field in the United States; the oil
regions of Kansas and Indian Terri
tory have been largely developed, and
trunk line is building from the Kan
sas fields to Chicago Thus we are
entirely safe in assuming that fully
10000 miles of pipe line are now en-
braced in the Standard oil system.
This means simply that the Stand
ard Oil Company is now in complete,
arbitrary and exclusive control of
more miles of transportation facilities
than three of the greatest railroad
systems Of the world! Here are the
official figures, as reported in 1904:

Spider Culture. !

Ten years ago French missionary
started the systematic rearing of two
kinds of spiders for their web, and the
Board of Trade Journal states that the
spider web factory is now in success
full operation at Chalais Meudon, near
Paris, where ropes are made of spider
web intended for balloons for the
French military aeronautic section.
The spiders are arranged in groups of
twelve above reel, upon which the
threads are wound. It is by no means
easy work for the spiders, for they are
not released until they have furnished
from thirty to forty-one yards of
thread each. The web is washed and
thus freed of the outer reddish and
sticky cover. Eight of the washed
threads are then taken together. and
of this rather strong yarn cords are
woven which are stronger and much
lighter than cords of silk of the same
thickness.

Aside from the melting season,
there is no other time when the hen
needs such careful attention as dur
ing the period when she is incubating
eggs, says Commercial Poultry. She
must be kept free from vermin and
must have such foods as will main
tain the heat of her body and keep
her in good health. Corn is the best
food for sitting hens, bst should not
be made an exclusive diet. Supply a
variety Of food, with corn as the
basis, and plenty Of fresh, clean
water. 1t pays to keep the sitting
hens healthy and comfortable.

Coarse grasses unfit for lawns some
times start up from seeds carried by
the wind, and these should be treated
like any other weeds-dug out and the
holes filed with soil, over which the
grass will soon spread.

Some poultry raisers clean out a
good many of the old birds in mid
summer, and in this way make room
for the chickens. If this is done and
the young birds are then allowed to
go on the roosts, nail board four or
six inches in width the whole length
Of the perch. This will prevent chook-
ed breastbones which are likely to re
suit from roosting on narrow perches
or poles.

One ounce of meat per hen three
times a week is about right. During
the moulting season a little more meat
may be given to advantage. Never
feed the meat mixed in mash, as the
hens are likely to get more than they
require, which will result in digestive
troubles.
