made il possible TO change the game

C~heapeninq Money.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: The London
Statist has made an estimate. of the
total production Of gold throughout the
world In 1903. According to It's figures,
there was mined by all countries dur
ing the year, 1897. $780, 900 Of the precious
metal. For nearly a third Of a century
prior to 1890 the worlds production Of
gold held between 500. 600. 900 and $125,-
600, 900 annually. By 1896 1t reached $780,
900, 900. In 1900, 1901 and 1902 the eff
fects Of the South African war stopped
the steady increase, but last year all
records were broken. Furthermore. the
present year threatens to lea its pre-
decessor in h matter Of gold produc-
ton. The Statist's estimate for the
year 1904 is $685., 900, 900.
The increase of the output Of silver
has been almOst as remarkable. From
%. 900. 900 ounces in 1900 1t rose to 49,
900. 900 in 1870. to rs. 500. 900 unces in
1886, to 1872. 900. 900 ounces in 1890. and to
l73. 900 1000 ounce In 1903. The supply
of gold and silver. but more especially
gold. is accepted by students Of econ
omics as being the principal determin-
ing factor in the purchasing power. OF

conditions of prosperity and depression

\ To a limited extent this increase

That such an increase has taken place

the prices of various standard COM
modities shows an Increase from July

to 103, 615. Part Of h increase in
prices was without doubt due to the
great prosperity boom of 1895 to 1903
which lifted all prices to higher levels
But the reaction and depression of bust.

CHICKEN KILLING A SCIENCE.

According to the Ruralist one Of the
big Chicago packing houses has a ca
pacity for killing and dressing about
10000 chickens. 5000 ducks or 5000
turkeys a day, and n have reduced
1t to a science. To follow a bird from
the time it arrives there as a part Of q
carload would be a. affair Of days, but
we will give a hasty glance at the
way they are handled. AS the car runs

a chute in which is an endless belt
with small cleats on 1t. AS fast as q

This business was begun by them
about eight years ago and has grown

they may have better poultry to sell.
They also have a large poultry yard

otherwise. There is an opening field
but the young nan who goes in that
direction must be interested In his
work and willing to put energy IN
preparing for his duties. There are
many special lines of agricultural edu-
cational advancement and he who de-
sires to turn his attention for his life
work may have the choice Of them.
There Is much new knowledge to be
brought to light in this field and the
spirit Of the d~iscoverer nay find full
scope. The young lady may not find
as many fields Of agriculture open to
her as her brother. but in this line OF
agricultural teaching there is room for
her, and in the line of scientific house,
keeping she has a field exclusively her
own and who will another equally i'm
portant for the good Of the world.
To the young man not willing to
tackle the task of becoming a farm
owner with nothing but his W ener-
giles as capital there is yet a rich field.
mand In this direction Is far greater
than the men competent to fill 1t and
the pay Is such that it has attracted
some very able men. Few positions
which draw a salary allow the en-
ploye so much individual freedom Of
time or Of opinions. The man who
holds such a position must be compe-
ten or he will not be wanted long.
but his pay will only be limited by his
capacity to earn 1t for his employer.
Fortunately there is In rea RI of the
states a we'll organized and conducted
institution for the purpose of giving
the graduates of u high schools. and
all others an opportunity for preparing
themselves to fill these many useful,
practical and remunerative lines Of life
work, and though there are many Of
our young people taking advantage OF
the agricultural colleges there Is prob
ably less danger Of a surplus of APP
plicants for work along the lines indi-
Gated than almost any other line Of
productivity,
