Now it is easilyseen that if we
raise our own tomatoes we not on
ly get % cents per bushel for
them, but get a nice profit outside
of that.
l see some writer's say bushel
of tomatoes will put up 20 3-pound
cans, but we get an average of
about IA cans to the bushel, but
we fill our cans full and reject all
but the very best fruit. Each can
ming machine We bought had a
book of instruction with it so any
man that can read can put up any
thing in the fruit line. We had
as good success the first day as we
ever had except the boy that SOL
dered for us had never soldered
any before and his work was a lit
tie rough.
| forgot TO say that any one may
expect about 2 per cent loss from
defective cans. This is the only
loss we have.
*(Calculate the profits as added
price on tomatoes CANNED 5O
Bushels and Sl8 profit represents
36 cents per bushel. Adj to this
the 20 cents first allowed in the
at which they were rated
and the tomatoes brought 81 cents

Profits From Small Cannerie

see in Farm and Ranch great
deal said about the canning BUSH
ness. ! believe that the fruit and
truck growers of East Texas ought
to put up every can of tomatoes,
beans. peaches, apples, etc, that
is used in the state, and | further
believe that if the growers only
knew how little expense it is to
put in a small canning factory
this would soon be done. l think
the reason it is not now done is
because the farmers as rule be-
lieve that it requires all the way
from $4,000 to $4,000 to 60 into the
business, when in fact a small fac
tory that will put up from 700 to
1000 cans of stuff per day can be
put up with an outlay of not ex-
ceeding 500. The only outlay
that amounts to any material sum
is buying the cans.
will give you the experience of
three of my neighbors and myself
and if one community should be,
benefited thereby l will be amply
paid.
Two years ago we bought five
small canning machines at cost
of $40. They are made to use on
any ordinary cooking stove, but
we made US a brick furnace and
put them all on 1t. We put up
about $4,000 cans of tomatoes,
peaches, berries, grapes, ETC., all
of which we raised ourselves. We
also canned good deal of stuff
last year. Our town of more than
1000 people is now supplied with
our canned goods and the first
complaint is yet to be heard, but
on the contrary they are bought in
preference to Eastern packed
goods. l will give you the result
OF one days work and then Farm
and Ranch readers can see what
they are losing.

Two Gold Bricks.
The People.

pushed through with a hoop-la and
vociferous applause from the gal
leries, ostensibly to give increased
momentum to the cause of educa-
tion. We won't say for what the
people afterwards thought it was,
in reality; intended.
We need scarcely avow that we
have reference to the famous mil
lion-dollar-l little red-school- house
OIL the hilltop bond issue.
The good sense of the voters
disposed of this gold brick to the
queens taste. They buried it be-
yond any hope of resurrection.
And well it was that they did, for
another gold brick far more hurt
full to the taxpayers and to the
commonwealth was, at the time,
iDcubating in SO much secrecy that
It's existence was not revealed un-
Til weeks after the million.dollar
bond issue had been strangled and
consigned to the cold, cold grave.
This second gold brick when
held up to the light, consisted of
appropriations made in violations
of Art. 46, of the Constitution
which prohibits the mourning of
Indebtedness in any form by the
Legislature, the more for purposes
for which the Constitution speci-
fically forbids appropriations to be
made.
1t was first asserted that the ex-
cess would aggregate 100000.
Then, it was claimed that it would
not be encountered at all, if the
expected increaease in the reve-
nues was obtained.
Then, it was that the gold brick
was made to glitter like the gold
of the alchemist. BY newly in
vented process, for the first time
IN the States history, taxation
would be eqalized and, incidental
iy, the proceeds would dispose of
any deficit that might arise. But
the benefits of the equalization
would be incalculable.
Again the people were to get
Something for nothing" By the
simple evolution in figures CON-
monty known as juggling, the ag-
gregate of assessments would be
doubled and the rate of taxation
reduced accordingly-iu the sweet
bye and bye-all to make the
State look richer abroad.
Thus would this tenderfoot be
gold bricked, but good care was
taken to keep the home product |
from suspecting that he was to
pay millions for the gold bricking. |
The assessors we're made to sun
derstand the situation" and they
have worked hard to prove them
selves equal to its demands. Some
people seem to think that the in
crease in the assessments will to-
talize at sixty-fve millions, and,
as no rate reduction is possible
this year estimating the average
aggregate of taxation, State, paro-
chial, municipal. levee and special, /
at rs mills, the sum that will be
squeezed from the taxpayers, at
s25, 900 per million, will amount to
81 ,625, 900, that the State treasury
may get S390,000, less the CON-
missions, from this raid upon the
taxpayers. 1t is scarcely possible
Tor any rate reduction to be made
next year. Hence the assessment
'or this year will hold over for
,ext year, with probably some adj
litions that may be required to
mooth the rough edges.

THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED
STATES STEEL CORPORATION.
James 6ayley, Cecil County Boy,
May Be Elected.

may DS k-ASOkS0s
James GayIey, first vice president
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, who is being talked Of as a pos
sible successor to the presidency of
of that mammoth enterprise, is a
native of this section. where he is
well known, having been born and
spent his boyhood at West Noting
ham, where his father, the late
Rev. Samuel A. Gayley, was pastor
of the Presbyterian church for
more than thirty years. The Bal
timore Sun of Monday contains the
following sketch of Mr.. Gayley,
who is a noted chemist, a recog-
nized authority on blast furnaces
and has given to the steel making
industry many valuable discov-
cries as the result of his scientific
researches:
sMr. James Gayley has climbed
to his present high Office in one Of
the greatest corporations in the
world by sheer hard work and
ability. The son of minister and
native of Cecil county, Mr.. Gay
ley is living example of the
importance of what is commonly
called push in the battle of life.
'sBorn near Colora, Mr.. Gayley
is son of Rev. Samuel A. Gayley,
for years a prominent figure in the
New Castle Presbytery. He was
educated at West Nottingham
Academy, in his native place, and
was graduated from Lafayette Col
lege, Easton Pa, in 1876, with the
degree of mining engineer.
"The following year Mr.. Gayley
began his business career as chemist
with the Crane Iron Works, at
Catasauqua, Pa, at a salary OF
$500 a year. Three years later he
started to work for the Missouri
Furnace Company, of st. Louis,
becoming superintendent of the
works. He then returned East
and became manager of the E. & G
