vines are heir, horticultural investiga-
tons have shown that they can be CON-
batted with comparative ease by spray
ing, and rot not only prevented but
the vine stimulated to ven greater
than normal production.
AS a matter of fact, the grape in
6ustry in the United States when con
sidered both as a large commercial
proposition and as one where each man
has his own vine, if not fig tree, is one
of a great deal of importance and OF
great interest.
Count Their Age by Centuries.
Although the product of its fruit Is
accountable for much that is unseemly
and frivolous, the vine is itself an OBJ
iect of great age and dignity. 1t is not
known how old the grape will grow in
America, since we have not been here
long enough to make the test, even had
a vine been planted with the landing
Of Columbus. Pliny mentions an Old
World grape vine 600 years of age.
Some entire vineyards in Italy held
good for 300 years and others in Bur
gundy produced for 400 years and more.

grape industry, which, while it is only
about so years old, is small as COM
pared to that of the world whose an
nual production is over 1900, 000, 900
gallons of wine.
Other products of the grape are rails
ins-an enormous industry In itself
brandy, vinegar, grape syrup, a very
superior article, and various pickles,
jellies and preserves.
The grape furnishes also important
by-products. Feed and fertilizer are
produced from the pomace, also acetic
acid. The seeds are separated from the
pomace and fed to stock the same as
grain. Ground up, they are used as a
substitute for coffee. A high grade oil
similar to olive oil Is also produced
from the seeds. which, among other
thicgs, make superior soap. They also
yield tannin.
Mr.. Husnann estimates that il all the
wastes of the grape crop were utilized
extra returns would increase its value
fully 10 per cent, which, with orr pres
ent grape production to the value of
about SIS. 000, 600, would mean an al
dttional earning of a million and a half,
and this with our viticultural industry
as yet in its infancy.

days when unskilled labor is so high
and hard to procure. Gasoline engines,
which when started practically take
care of themselves, are rapidly sup
planting steam engines and horse pow

slant attention. The difference in the
cost of operating and the advantage of
starting at a moments notice has ad-
vanced the popularity of gasoline en-
gines where comparatively small power
is required in contrast with other
power devices.
A few years ago we heard but little
about gasoline engines for use on the
farms, while to-day we find many of
them on up-to-date farms and small
business plants. This growing inter-
est has been brought about largely

Chinese 50 Cash. -

Consular reports from China are to
the efec that the prospect of a re-
form or rather revolution in the money
system of that Empire is not very
bright, in spite of the promises to that
end which have been made. There are
a number of influential elements pre-
venting the change which nations do
ing business in China have asked,
among others the bankers who profit
by the great variations in values of
the same kind of coins in different
cities as well as the provincial officials
who mint them. The money of the
people is still brass and copper, and to
introduce a new system will be diff
cult owing TO the dread on the part of
the public of anything new. Gold
and silver may'continue to control the
price paid for exports, but copper and
brass will for a long time govern pro
duction.

No expert can estimate accurately the
gains that will come this year to the
farmers, the surplus that will be left
for them after paying expenses, which
represents their profits. Some of the
most experienced experts have ventured
to estimate that the farmers of the
United States this year as a whole will
find themselves to tie good Ey not less
than $500, 600, 000, and possibly $780,
900, 900. These are the gains as well as
those which the great transportation
companies expect to receive for carry
ing the agricultural products from the
harvest fields to the market to which
Mr.. Vanderlip referred in his address to
the National Bankers Association at
Washington. The United States as a
whole ought to be richer by reason of
the years industry, agricultural and
manufacturing and transportation, by
an amount considerably in excess of a

Increasing Wealth in the Vest.

In commenting on the need which
has hitherto manifested itself in the
West for calling upon Eastern money
centers for funds with which to move
Western crops, a new York financial
letter states that with conditions as
they were ten years ago, the present
record-breaking crop would have
strained the capacity of the New York
financial centers to the utmost to fur
nish sufficient funds. So greatly, how
ever, has the wealth of the West in
creased and so large are the surplus
reserves of the farmers that even with
crops so ~stupendous as to amaze Eu-

late years in simplifying the working
parts of the engines SO that the aver
age man can operate them with the
ease of an expert. AS a matter of fact,
a bright boy can handle a modern gas
cline engine with but little teaching.
Take the farmer who has never seen
a gasoline engine and let him start and
stop n a few times and study some
of the principles of operating it
and in a few days he viii become as
familiar with it's workings as he would
with a team of horses or a tread-mill.
The general usefulness of a machine
of this sort on a farm is apparent.
There is ensilage to cut, wood to saw,

pump, in fact a multitude of things
that can be done with a gasoline en-

These were cultivated vines. Doubt

The viticulturist of the Department
Of Agriculture, George c. Husmann,
states that he has never seen a vine
among the endless number of natives
abounding in our forests that has diel

vines grow to immense size. There is
a wild grape vine on the shores of Mo
bile Bay under which Andrew Jackson

The Size of a Great Tree.
The largest known grape vine in the
world was planted in California in
1912. 1t has made a phenomenal
growth. Beneath its spreading branches,
which cover nearly half an acre, 800
persons can find protection from the
suns heat. 1t bears from six to ten
tons of grapes for a crop and the cir
cumterence of its trunk is eight feet.

Feeding OIeo to The Navy.

Considerable of a sensation has de-
veloped over the furnishing to League

ter which analysis has proven to be
simply ol~eonlargarine colored with coal
tar dye. Samples were taken from the
government receiving ship Lancaster,
several battle ships and cruisers and
from the hospitals Of the navy yard by
agents of the Pennsylvania Dairy an
Food Commission. DR.. Warren, the
State Commissioner, declared them to
be specimens Of coal tar oleo and after
considerable controversy, at the in
stance of President Roosevelt, they
we're finally submitted to DR.. Wiley, the
chief chemist of the Department of Ag-
riculture, who in a full report has sus-
tanned DR.. Warren's findings. Secre-
tary Wilson has referred the report to
the President. who has. it is stated,
called the attention of the Department
Of Justice to the matter. Several ar.
rests have already been made.
In speaking, however, of the substi-
tuition of o~leomargarine for butter in
the market, DR.. Wiley said that at pres
ent the amount of oleomargarine sold
in this country whether fraudulently
as butter or when marked as oleo is
quite small. The government has rem
dered the making and sale of the stuff
improbable by levying 10 cents a
pound on all that is artificially colored,
and half a cent OIL the uncolored.

Goal tar dyes" said DR.. Wiley, "are
not fatally harmful, though by nc
means wholesome. and dairymen are

unnecessary, the Department of Agri-
culture is now trying to educate the
popular taste in favor of uncolored but.

over in Europe one never encounters
colored butter in any of the hotels or
first class markets. The people Their
have learned to d%istrust 1t. We are
coming to this in the United States. To
day first-class hotels and fancy gro
ceries will not buy butter that has a
high color. Our epicures and those
that live well are also fighting shy OF
it. and as a result the dairymen are be
ginning to realize that the bottle of

Defvina the supreme Court.

Among the interested persons who
have conferred upon the public their
opinionR of the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court against the con-
stitutionalty of the New York law pro-
hibiting the owner of a bakcshop from
allowing his employees 20 work more
than ten hours a day is ROBERT URBAN,
the business agent of n bakers union
which was instrumental in having the
law adopted. Quite naturally, Mr.. Urban
does not concur in the conclusions
reached by a majority of the Justices
Of the Supreme Court, but he exhibits a
curious and lamentable misconception
Of the scope and effect Of that tribunals
decision when he says:
we will keep up this ten hour night in dehance
Of the United states Supreme Court"
Mr.. URBAN seems 10 think that the
Supreme Court has decided that it is
unconstitutional for a man to contract
to work ten hours and no more in a day,
and It is against this Interpretation Of
the fundamental law that he proposes
to fight, in defiance" of the court He
Is mistaken, and in the contest he
proposes TO make he will not find it
necessary to come into conflict with the
powerful body az which he is now wroth,
The same Constitution that prevents
the State from saying 10 the employing
baker, you shall not contract with q
man to work for you for more than ten
hours a day" protects the journcyman
in the undisputed right to say to the man
who wants 20 employ him, Il will not
labor for you for moro than ten hours. "
II guarantees TO each the right 10 make
such contracts rs seem best to him. IF
Mr.. URBAN and his associates wish 20
work only ten hours a day in bakcshops
no power is in the Constitution, the laws
or the courts TO make them work longer
II they wish to work longer than ten
hours they may, and so may any man
who so desires and contracts.
If Mr.. URBAN goes forth to defy the
United States Supreme Court on the
issue which now troubles him he will
not find it. His quarrel is not with it,
or with the Constitution, but with the
Journeymen bakers who are wiling TO
work more hours a day than are those
with whom Mr.. URBAN is associated
