ALLOW NO WASTE.
Secret of Business Success Is Finding
Use for Everything.

Secret of Business Success Is Finding a
Use for Everything.
one or TIE great secrets of business
success lies in avoiding waste" re-
marked successful business man the
other day. in this single fact lies the
principal reason for the great success
of the Armours. the Swifts. the Stand
ard Oil Company, the American Sugar
Refining Company and practically ev-
cry other large and successful indus
try.
Take the packing Industry rs an,
example. Nothing is allowed to go to
waste. The buttons that you wear on
YOUR coat are made out of the blood of
the CATTLE hogs and sheep. Instead of
allowing this blood to go to waste 1t Is
gathered up. CONCEALED and manufac-
tured into buttons. The hoofs of the
cattle are manufactured into combs
and brushes. Glue. vaseline and doz-
ems of other by-products are manufac-
tured ont of the cntrals and other por-
tons of the animals that at one time
We're allowed to 90 to waste. AT the
present time these byproducts furnish
one of the principal sources of revenue
to the beef packing companies.
Take as another illustration tha
Standard Oil Company: When this
company was first organized the vol
ume of waste in the business of rein
ing oil was enormous. Crude oil was
taken and refined and the refined oi
was practically the only product. Ev
crything else WAS allowed to 90 tt
waste. The Standard OH Company
however. began taking this waste ant
manufacturing it into byproducts. 1
will doubtless be Il surprise to man,
TO learn that the company to-day ha!
10 less tllan thirty-two by-products
The revenue derived from the sale o
these is enormous. Yet previous to TIN
organization of the Standard Oil Com
pany practically all of these by-prod
ucts went to waste.
"rhe railroad industry furnishes an
other illustration: The effort to econ
! mizc in small items of expenditure AM
save waste is the main object IN mos
of the enormous investments that tn
railroads have made during the las
few years. The number of train mile
run In 1900 was S5G.09OOS2 1t

train miles. although amounting In i
self to but fraction of cent wi

railroads of the country are abb
through improved operation to say
the small sum of only > cents per trai
mile. This would be equivalent on til
S56,O9O,OS2 train miles run in 1900

is equivalent to an annual dividend {

Prevention Of Tuberculo.i..

Taking advantage OF the interest

cattle, firm of New York druggists
has been sending out circular at
tempting to introduce on II large scale
u proposition for the vaccination OF
cattle supposed to be based on the
method Of the German professor. Won

against the disease by vaccination
has been Investigated with great care
by DIR. Leonard Pearson. State vet
Urinary of Pennsylvania. Inquiry Of
DIR. Pearson brings the following reply:
1.-THE claims in relation to the works
OF Won Behring are exaggerated and
in part they are without foundation.
There Is not the slightest evidence to
show that by means Of 1t cattle may
| be immuniZed for their lives or for
length of time sufficient to make the
process ut all valuable. What has
been proven Is that by means OF a
certain method of vaccination much
more prolonged the two inoculatine
methods referred to In the circular
cattle may be immunized to a certain
and also to great extent against ar
titicial infection by direct incubation
How long the protection will last. and
whether it Is of practical Importance
by such short method as Won Beh
ring now recommends remains to BIZ
proven. Experiments with view d
settling these points are now In prog
ress in this country under the Stat,
Live Stock Board Of Pennsylvania
Personally. am strongly OF the be
lief that a practical and safe plal
for immunlzing cattle against tuber
culOsis will soon be available
should be made clear, however. of til
Iplan of Won Behring that is recon

How to Improve Tobacco.

The method Of seed selecting prac-
ticed by Prof. Shamel offers several
hints for the Improvement Of the to-
bacco crop. The feature of this sub
ject which aids the grower is the fact
that tobacco plants reproduce them
selves from seed very exactly. The
field liz gone over Just before topping
and the best plants marked. A second
selection is made before the flowers
OF the remaining plants begin to open.
To prevent cross fertilizing. the seed
heads are enclosed under paper bag,
which is placed over the flowers be-
fore any Of them open. Seed saved In
this way are larger and better than
that produced in the ordinary manner
and it is found that the plants from
such seed are more vigorous than 9TH
ers. Very old seed should be avoided
It, planting, as Its vitality is weak.
The selection should be continued
among the plants In the seed-bed at
the time of transplanting, observing
the shape Of the leaf, vigor of growth
and the general type Of the plant. 1t
is important In saving seed to avoid
those which show signs Of disease. A
promising field of development ap-
pears to be in the production Of New
Hybrid types. Special Improvement
was raade from crosses Of the Cuban
and Suihatra and the crosses of the
Broad Leaf and Cuban produced a re-

Selecting Egg Produccrs.

SeleCttn3 Egg fEOUuCcr0s
A serious mistake is often made in
selecting fowls for breeding purposes
and in selecting eggs for Matching. A
correspondent OF Farm Home says: on
many farms the custom is to select
eggs for Matching during the spring
months. when nearly all of the fowls
are laying. No matter how poor lay
er hen may be, the chances are that
most Of the eggs will be produced dur
Ing the spring and early summer
months. A hen that has laid many
eggs during the winter months is quite
likely to produce fewer eggs during the
spring and early summer months than
one that commenced to lay on the ap-
proach of warm weather. Springtime
is natures season for egg production.
| All fowls that produce any considera-
BILE number OF eggs during the year are
likely to be laying at this time. 1t Is
therefore plain that whenever eggs are
selected in the sprlngtime from flock
of mixed hens composed OF some good
layers and some poor ones a larger
percentage of eggs will be obtained
from the poor layers than at almost
any other season OF the year. A seri.
Gus mistake Is therefore made In
breeding largely from the Improbable
fowls. Whenever it IL possible fowls
that are known for the great number
of eggs that have produced during the
year should be selected for the breed
ing pen.

Parents and teachers, and educators in
conclus!on OF DR.. w A. Shaw of Indian

league, who upon visiting several city
schools says 30 per cent of the boys smoke
or have smoked cigarettes. Some are
already combating the statement. one In
particular being Isaac q. Wnslow, prn-
cipal OF the Thayer street school.
Mr.. Winslow, by questioning how many
boys smoked. and receiving anonymous
replies, just yes or no, found but 80 out
of 1876 In his school that had smoked.
In part Mr.. Wnslow said:
"Tt Is not my purpose TO undervalue the
Importance OF the anti-cigarette crusade.
The evil Is not open to question and all
efforts to overcome IL are TO be appauded.
"In a case OF this kind. however. ex-
aggeration is exceedingly unfortunate,
and I'm behalf Of my own school and the
children OF the First ward | feel called
