Poultry Raising a Skilled Occupation.

Poultry raising is skilled occupa-
ton. Probably more people have fig
ured themselves rich on the chicken
raising industry than in any other we
have. 1t is doubtful if we can find
any other business where SO many
wrecks can be found of peoples hopes.
at least in the line of financial ven
ture. Yet. there is money in the rails
ing of chickens and of all other fowls.
Only 1t Is matter of skill and exper-
ience.

Better Grains Needed.

One of the great needs of farm.
ers in the northwest is better quail
ity of grain. AS result of this wide.
ly-felt need. several of our northern
stations have been devoting much
time and effort to the discovery or
creation of new varieties. The Min.
nesota. station has been very prom.
inent in this work and has Obtained
some valuable results.

Height of Ears on cornstaIks.

The lower the ear on the corn stalk
the less likely is the stalk to be blown
down by high wind. Experiments
are being made to breed low ears.
Seed from corn with low ears has been
replanted enough times TO produce
little variation in this regard.

NOT ENJOYED BY SENATORS.
Only Galleries Amused by Repartee as
to Railroad Passes.

There were moments of fun at the
Swayne trial. Mr.. Olmsted was ques-
tioning a witness as to what furniture
or other effects Judge Swayne brought
with him to Florida. One of his ques-
tions was: did he bring any effects
other than what he had in his (pause)
carpetbag?" Then he proved by a
conductor that Judge Swayne was ac-
customed to ride on pass over GER
tain railroad. Il do not mean to raise
the question of Judge Swayne's right
to ride on a pass" explained Mr.. Ohm
sted as the witness was disappearing
through the glass doors to the rear
lobby, but consider it an important
bit of testimony when the government
is asked to pay the transportation"

to question that right around here

confined to the galleries.

Blights are caused by minute plants

Blights are caused by minute plants
called fungi These are vegetable
parasites, which sink their roots into
the substance of the plants and draw
nourishment therefrom. As long as
the plants can supply more food than
these parasites can use. the effects of
the blight is not apparent. AS soon
as the parasites begin to use more
food than their host plants supply, the

Weights of Seed and Grains.

There should be national law reg

uniform In weight throughout the
states, but such is not the case with
most Of our grains. A move in this
direction should meet with success.

A New Disease.

People are now trying to get out of
the Nevada gold belt as fast as they
tried to get in Il few months ago.
A dispatch to last Saturdays Dem
yer News says:
yesterday twelve bodies were
stretched out on slabs in the only un-
dertaking establishment in the camp
(Tonopah.) An equal number at
least were dead around the town. The
disease strikes without warning, the
healthy are the most susceptible, and
I'm from twelve to twenty-four hours
are dead, their bodies blackened by
the mysterious poison that saps their
lives away"
Later advices indicate that the
the death rate is not near as bad Us
first reported.

Advised To Keep Away.

Aparty named George Burke writes
to the Rifle Reveille advising people
to keep away from the Nevada gold
field district.
He says the sanitary conditions of
Tonopah and Goldfeld are bad with
a large death rate from pneumonia,
smallpox and diphtheria. Mr.. Burke
concludes his warning by saying:
''My advice would be to keep away
unless it be someone that wants to
spend from 500 to $500 to find out for
themselves"
Late telegraphic dispatches confirm
Mr.. Burlle's statements. .

that will be submitted to a vote OF the
people at the next general election In

Of the constitution has got to be

optional. The amendment does not

The New Rutland.

1t is believed by parties likely to be
fairly well informed in regard to the
plans of the New York Central railroad
managers in connection with that com
panys assumption of control of the
Rutland road, that one outcome of the
through line between Montreal and New
York, by way of Bennington and the
Harlem road, says the Free Press. This
is the line which Trenor Park hoped and
expected to secure when he built the
road from Bennington to Chatham. n.
Y. With the Harlem, Lebanon Springs
Rutland roads all parts of the New
York Central system, the conditions are
now favorable to the establishment OF Il
new through line to and from Montreal
by way of Chatham, Bennington and
Rutland. This line will save something
in distance as compared with the present
line by way of Troy and the Hudson
river road, and when fully equipped
with fast vestibuled trains, running
through without change of cars or de-
lays from side connections, it cannot
fail to be a favorite route between New
York and Montreal When these plans
materialze, we shall have better con
nection with New York, from this quar-
ter than ever before.
The financial report of the Rutland
for the last quarter is decidedly en-
couraoing The cross earnings showed
an increase of $4,000 in the three
months. The operating expenses Were
slightly less Everyone in this part of
the State is interested in the prosperity
of tins company and will be gratified that
The net earnings and the surplus have
50 materially increased.

The Pre- sident in Earnest.

j. T. Harris writes the Brattleboro
heiorncr from Washington thusly;
The most important subject is that of
railroad rate legislation. The interstate
commerce committee of the senate is
holding protracted meetings attended
by many of the great railroad Off
cials and shippers of the country, and
much of the testimony is of the great
est interest to all who want fair play
in freight rates and just and equit-
able management of the country's rail
roads. Some sensational evidence has
already been given, which will I'M
doubleday serve as a basis for legal
action by the government against the
roads. Public interest in these reveal.

"The world reaches welcoming arms
to young men well trained and not afraid
of work"
The Bellows Falls Times is right
Young men are wanted who are ambit-
ions not afraid of hard work in school
or outside; who know the value of money
and what it costs to earn a dollar. Every
young man who has acquired these
qualities, will surely succeed in life.
The editor of the Times is a good ex-
ample. He had to work his way through
school and college. He has earned every
dollar he has. When he commenced
life, after leaving college he had hard
battle before him, but he took any and
all honorable work he could get. Today
he is the owner of one of the best paying
newspapers in the State; ownes a good
home and has delightful happy family
all because he was honest, ambitious and
trained in the school of adversely, hard
work, and economy.
These qualities found him friends,
who had money to enable him to buy
the Times, when he had demonstrated
his ability to run it successfully. He has
repaid the money they loaned him and
has made a success of life, and is still a
young man with his best years for work
and usefulness before him.
What he and others have done any
young man can duplicate There is a
great opportunity in Vermont today for
the right kind of young men. Young
men who do not drink, smoke cigarettes,
or play cards, because they have no time
or money to waste on any of them, but
are ambitious to make their way in the
world.

After the Rebate Railroads.

Prouty has stirred up the animals, and
rightly too, by his findings in the Santa
Fe rebate case says the st. Johnsbury
Caledonian. "This transcontinental line

and steel company, to such an extent that
competition was almost as prohibitive as

pected quarter as it now appears that
Secretary Morton was first ce-president
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road
during all its corrupt practice with the

known of the rebates. Mr.. MOrton's
name does not appear in the report, but
he has been hard hit and laid himself
open to the severest criticism. Harper's
Weekly suggests that he be retained in
the cabinet as he knows all the tricks of
the trade and is therefore highly COM
petent to devise legislation and regulate
it. But there is no denying the fact that
the discovery has embarass ed the admin
istration, and it is fair to assume that

sation.
" The supreme courts decision on the
beef trust is crushing defeat for the
trust and marks an epoch in our indust'
rial life. As in the case of the interstate
commerce commission, the courts deci
sion is unanimous and prohibits the con.
tinuance of the combination to suppress
competition, to maintain uniform selling
prices, obtaining discriminating rates
from railroads. 1t is generally recog.
4 nized that the effect of this decision can.
not be limited to the beef trust alone

many other trusts, have fattened on the
same practices that the beef trust origi
