The Scoring Of Wall Street.

| NAS W '"ii SSiSO"
In his report on the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, State Super
intendent Hendricks sounds one
warning which is Of especial inter
est to the public, and which has
broad and direct application to all
kinds o: trusteeship where there is
danger of too close intimacy with
Wall street Mr.. Hendricks is en-
tirely correct in his statement that
popular confidence in insurance COM
panies cannot be restored until the
management of insurance affairs is
taken entirely out of Wall Street.
THE disclosures which have been
made in connection with the Equit-
able affairs have revealed the out
lines OF situation which spells cor
rnption in its most dangerous form.
The wonder is that SO much money
actually does come into the street to
lubricate the wheels and keep them
going. Estimates As to the bed rock
cost of keeping the machinery of
Wall Street speculation in motion,
vary from S25, 900, ,oco to $50, ,ooo,-
900 annually, before a base line can
be reached from which the public
can figure on getting an even break
for its money.
These odds, great as they are, do
not represent all of the truth, for to
that tax must be added money lille.
lily grabbed off in the handling of
the public's funds. This is where
the back. breaking drag comes in.
1t is this unseen and unidentified
tax which makes it almost impossi-
bic to win in Wall Street.
The public has hit upon the pro.
per method of beating Wall Street,
and that is to keep away from the
Stock Exchange, and to withstand
the temptations to engage in the
game of speculation in that theatre
of hazardous activity. 1t has been
said that the only way to beat the
horses, the stock market and gamb- !
ling table is to keep away from
them. This is the plan that has
been adopted by the great mass of !
people, 50 far as relates to Wall |
Street. The public distinctly is not |
in the market, and the recent dis.
closures of crookedness, and busi-
ness immortality in high places fur
ther emphasize the popular deter
to stand aloof and watch
the play from a safe distance. Wall |
Street is no place for thc public's !
money.
And when it comes to that, the
hundreds of thousands of small

The Early Weed.


We hear great deal about the
early bird catching the early worm,
but not enough about the early farm
er catching the early weed. l have
found that the best time to stop the
growing of weeds is just before they
appear above the ground, or If they
have already appeared, while they are
still minute in size and before their
roots have struck into the soil.
AT that time single sweep Of the
hoe will loosen up the soil under
thousands of these little weeds and
in an hour or so they are dead. AT
that time they are not drawing nour-
lshment from the ground but from the
seed itself. Without nourishment they
must wither, and this is what they do
when taken in time.
l have fought weeds for forty years
and find this is the best way of getting
ahead of them. The early weed must
be guarded against, and if properly
handled will be disposed of with little
labor. The great amount of labor
spent in digging up weeds in the gar.
den is largely wasted. 1 have seen
some OF my neighbors digging weeds
out of the bean patch when the weeds
were foot high and had sent their
roots into the ground for about the
same distance.

the STABILITY OF the immediate prod
uct, and creates a favorable impress
sion regarding the character of prod
ucts to be had from such a farm.
In tying the wool clip into bundles
having a neat and attractive appear
ance a tying box is quite a conven-
lent aid, especially to an amateur.
There are different styles of tying
boxes. but the following is perhaps as
good as any, is very simple and easily
and cheaply constructed. All the ma
terlal needed for the construction of
this box is a sixteen foot dressed
board twelve inches wide, two pieces
OF 2x4 three feet long, a few nails
and four small hinges and screws to
fasten them on with.
From the sixteen-foot board cut
three pieces four and a half feet long.
Two of these will serve as the leaves,
A A in the illustration. The other is
cut into four strips, B B B B and
fastened to the two 2x4 cross pieces,
Z, leaving a small crack between
each two in which to place the twine.
The two leaves, A A, are hinged to
the two outside strips so they will
open out fiat or fold up against the
head board, D.
This head board is made from the
remainder of the sixteen-foot board,
cutting two pieces one foot long, nail
ing together and fastening on top of
the strips, B B, as shown in the illus
tration. Three holes, as shown, are
bored in the lower edge of the head
board to carry the twine. A notched
piece, E, can be made to hold the
leaves togther when they are folded
up or 1atches can be put on the head
board for this purpose.
To use the box, set it on some
empty boxes or other support of con.
venient height, open the leaves out
fat, pass the twine through each hole
in the head-board and along the CORE.
spending space between the strips.
See that the twine is down in these
cracks so that the wool will not mis-.
place it and the board is ready to re.
celve the fleece. The fleece should be
laid on the board flesh side down and
lengthwise Of the board.
When the fleece has been put in
proper shape and the leaves are fold.
ed up the sides will be folded in and
the fleece is ready to roll. Roll snug.
ly and tie with the twine from either
side; loosen the leaves, turn the fleece
and tie crosswise with the center
string. If the fleece has been kept in
proper shape while being taken off
oe the sheep this will be all the strins
necessary to hold it in good shape

In the vicinity of great cities
intensive dairying must be fol-
lowed. The COWS must be kept
in large numbers on small areas, and
the product of these cows must be dis

must to a considerable degree deter

Loose or Tied Steers.

A. problem attracting a good deal Of
attention is whether it is better to
feed the steers in loose boxes or to tie
them up in stalls. A number of exper-
iments have been conducted along
these lines with somewhat varying re-
suits. AS rule, steers which are fed
in loose boxes have a better appetite,
and are less likely to go "off-feed"
than those which are tied up. It is
doubtful, however, which method will
give the cheaper gains, taking one
year with another. One objection to
feeding loose steers is that if they are
not dehorned when purchased, the op-
Grafton has to be performed after
wards, and sometimes it requires sew
eral weeks for steer to fully recover
from the operation.-Ontario Station.

some of the arid West by the assist

carried on under the direction of the

ture. The work of the commission ap-
pointed showed that there are two i'm
mense artesian basins in the. United
States, one of them in the James River
Valley in the Dakotas and the other in
central Texas. In California there ex-
lists another great artesian basin, and
the water from it is now used in irri-
eating about 10000 acres of land, most
ly in the San Joaquin Valley. East of
the Rockies the work of irrigating by
artesian wells is less advanced than

Cleanliness,


To keep disease out OF hog
pens and yards preventive meas
ures must be relied on, and the
chief preventive measure is clean
liness. The hog quarters must be
kept clean, and the hog houses must
be dry and well-ventflated. 1t is a
common assumption that hogs are
dirty animals, but the facts do not
bear out the assumption. In some
things they are more cleanly than
many other of our domestic animals.
Unless compelled to do so hog will
not sleep in his own filth, and this is
not true of the horse or the cow. The
part of the pen that is well-bedded
with straw is always kept clean if it
is possible for the hog to keep it
clean.

OPPOSITION TO MONTAGUE.
Portsmouth Politicians and Norfolk
County Farmers Against Him.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
PORTSMOUTH,, Va, August 12.-Gov
Montague is being strenously opposed for

and by the Norfolk county farmers. The
Portsmouth folks say they remember that
because they We're for Capt. Richard Coke
Marshall. a descendant of the first chief
justice, for governor they were shut out
Of the democratic caucus by Montague
men. The farmers say that the fact that
the governor vetoed two bills passed by
the legislature for the purchase Of the
toll road of Norfolk county by the coun-
ty board of supervisors must not be lost
sight Of.
The republicans being to certain extent
dominant in the board, the governor held
that the large sum to be expended should
not be authorized in view OF the charges
Of malfeasance IN office lodged against
some Of the board. This farmers say that
the real reason was that the governors ad-
visers in the case owned the toll roads
and didn't want to sell.
