PrOflts of the Pacltera.

There has been q great Ceal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re
port shows that the profits Of the pack
ing industry only amount Ia about two
per cent. on the volume of business
transacted. There is no doubt, how
ever. that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government in 1900 before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust began,
throw considerable light OF this qtIcs-
ton. IL appears from the census that
the packing industry Is conducted on u
smaller margin of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross
margin of profit of 81 Hour aud grist
mills III Illinois in the census year.
was nearly seven per cent. on the vol
ume of business. The gross margin Of
fifty-one wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing establishments i'm Illinois
was only about one-third as large. or a
little more 'han two per cent. on the
volume OF business.
The millers have not been accused
OF being in q trust" and cOmblaa-
tons would seem impossible In busi-
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but IL ap-
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits Of
the packers. II may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shcaring the pig: "All
squeal and no wool"

RELIEVING CALVES FROM FLIES


During the summer months flies are
n constant torment 10 young calves.
The chronological department OF the
Kansas State Agricultural College has
been experimenting and compromising
various substances in order TO produce
an effective and economical mixture.
which, when applied 10 the surface OF
an animal would ward off the flies. As
a result of these experiments il has
succeeded in producing the following
formula, which seems TO answer the
purpose reasonably well: Resin, one
and half pounds; laundry soap. two
cakes; fish oil, one-half pint; enough
water to make three gallons. Dissolve
the resin in solution of soap and
water by heating; add the fish oil and
the rest of the water. Apply with a
brush If to be used as a spray. add
one-half pint of kerosene This mix
ture will cost from seven TO eight cents
per gallon and may be used on either
calves or cows. One-half pint OF this
mixture is considered enough for one
application for COW; calf, of course,
would require considerable less. IL Will
be more economical TO apply this only
TO the parts OF the animal not reached
by the tail. At first il will perhaps be
necessary to give two or three applica-
tons per week, until the outer ends OF
the hair become coated with resin; af-
ter that retOuch those parts where the
resin is rubbed off.-American Cultiva-

mnnlisetinr Potato Crops.


In line with the classic case Of tbo
oyster shippers, cited by President
liedley Of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
OF the ArOOstoOk potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston X Maine Railroad before the
senate Committee on Interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest Of
the localities which II serves.
\ main dependence OF tine farmers Of
the AroOstook region is the potato
crop. aggrcgating annually c.,ht 10
ten million bushels which find mar.
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thicEly settled regions OF New Eng
land. The competition Of cheap water
transportation from Maine to al points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pOta-
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also n considerable out
put Of the truc6 farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained ia
ana through Detroit and Chicago aud
other communities Of that region.
Not many years ago fayOring sun aud
rains brought tremendous yield of
potatoes from the Michigan GeldF. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been gut Of the customary mar
kets ana the potatoes would have rot

To n place so remote as Boston The
ArOOstOOk growers had 10 reduce the
rr!cc on their potatoes and even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston d Maine Railroad reduced its
already low rate, which il did. by
means of these low rates. making pos
siblc low prices, the potato crops of
both Michigan and Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody eats potatoes
and that year every body had all the
potatoes he wanted
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous 10

more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been GO
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seekingl
advice from woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-,
fdence of women. and every testimo-
nial letter published is done so with
the written consent or request Of the
writer, in order that other sick women,
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel. of 4l2 North 54th
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes ::
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
cover year ago wrote you a letter asking
advice as | had female ills and could not
carry child TO maturity. ! received your
kind letter of IL structions and followed your
advice. i am not only a well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl L
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done SO
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured will Lydia L. Pink hams
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such n record OF cures Of female
troubles as has Lydia f. Pinkham's $

With the assurance that the Spo-

built, the question OF the route be-
comes uppermost. The idea of the
promoters OF the enterprise Is OF
course to reach those points that
will bring to the road the greatest
traffic, both for it's freight and pas
enger departments, and to reach
>naKe river by the shortest practi-
cal route. There seems little ques-
ton but that when all the conditions
are hirly considered, the most FEAST
BILE and profitable route will he about
as follows.
From SpokWne to Colfax by way OF
Waverly Pine City and Steptoe then
southeast to Pullman, and from
there would cross to Union Flat,
which it would strike at about the
Anderson place, and following up
Union Flat to near Cotton would
descend to Snake river by way OF
Steptoe canyon. This would reduce
the distance from Pullman to Lew
iston by about 81 miles, by the pro
posed route from there to Lewiston;
whereas to go by way OF Moscow
and tho Nor. Pac., is about So miles.
The line from Pullman to Moscow
by way of the Palouse would also bt
