Burn Potato Parings. Have No SCOT
(From the Milwaukee Sentinel

(trOm the MILWAUKEE, sentinel J
Don't throw potato parings into the
garbage box, but into the stove, and
thereby save yourselffrom the annoy
ance OF having to call the fire depart
ment to put out a chimney fire.
Such is the advice OF Chief Meninger.
"This damp weather we are having
breeds favorable conditions for chin
ney fires" said the chief the other AFTER
noon. Indeed | am not surprised
that the department has not been
called out any oftener. Ii seems
when the SCOT becomes damp it is
more liable to originate fires by spon-
famous combustion than IN dry
weather. All that we usually have
to do is to allow a weight to drop
down the chimney, when the fire will
burn itself out. 0. course the chin
ney needs cleaning. II people would
clean their chimneys regularly the
annoyance of chimney fires would
soon cease to exist. From personal
experience | know that the burning
OF potato parings prevents the gath,
ering of SCOT. | know of family
that is keeping up strong soft coal
fire In its kitchen range every day
during the winter, but you can never
find trace of SCOT on the lids, the
bottoms of kettles or in any part of
the stove.
Potato parings are burned In the
stove daily. Another effective meth
cd is the burning of pieces of zihc. |
am not a chemist enough to know,
but it seems to me that the fumes
generated during the combustion OF
the ENC prevents the gathering of
SCOT, and it is this SCOT that is the
cause of most chimney fires.

II that man is a public benefactor
who makes two blades of grass grow
where one blade grew before, what is
to be said of him who teaches the
farmer how to add 00,O00,O00
bushels of superior corn To the out
put OF single year and that without
extra cost and little additional
trouble ? The credit forsuch featis
assigned to Professor Holden of the
Iowa Agricultural College, who is
said to have accomplished the result
mentioned. That is the showing tor
a single state. The same methods
adopted elsewhere obviously would
be attended by equally satisfactory
consequences. Professor Holden prt-
tends 60 no magic or extraordinary
powers. He told the farmers that ii
they would select their seed and pre-
pare their ground as be Indicated they
could Increase the average yield OF
corn from 27H bushels to 40 bushels
an acre, anu he has demonstrated
that he is correct. His plan Is to pick
out the earliest and largest ears OF
corn and preserve them for seed aud
then to prepare the soil according to
a formula which he prescribes. He
went about the state delivering lee
lures on the subject and though
there was skepticlsm at first the
farmers warmed up later and attend
ed his meetings in crowds. More
over. thew followed his advice. and
the net outcome is corn crop worth
$50 100000 more than that of the
average year. In other words it has
been demonstrated that scientific
farming" pays, and as that idea is
more fully circulated the more GER
tainly will improvements in methods
be adopted.

No Need OF Reciprocity with Canada
From the New York SUM-

| 'OAA NhV NcW LOTA GUN
Canada is already 80 good custo-
mer OF ours that all talk about the
OF reciprocity to hold or stimulate
the demand for our products from
our northern neighbors is really a
waste OF words.
We Increased our exports to Can
ade from value of $50 100000 in
1873 to $131 100000 in 1904, fiscal
year, and when the statistics for the
calendar year are made up they are
likely TO reach $3.50, 100000. That
10 pretty good showing, with tariff
conditions as they are.
La 1873 the balance OF trade was
toward five million dollars in favor of
CANADA, but for the next six years it
was steadily in our favor by from
nearly four millions to more than
thirteen millions yearly.
The next year, 1880, it was against
US by about three and a half millions,
and IN 1881 it was about even. In
1852 the amount against US rose to
more than fourteen millions. In the
following three years it averaged
about two millions year in our
favor.
lie was then that we unwisely tried
reciprocity. What was the result ?
We went behind an average of nearly
three million year for six years.
Ihen we found out that the reciproci-
ty was a better thing for Canada than
for US. Our minds have remained the
same ever since, and the conviction
has been strengthened by the increase
OF our yearly exports to Canada
from about $4,000 600 in 1892 to
$131 100000 in 1904, and of our
trade balance from eight millions to
seventy five millions of dollars.
This growth has been in spite of eff
forts in the later years to turn the
tide of Canadian imports in favor of
Great Britain by tariff preferentials
of from 12h per cent. to the present
British preferential OF 33R per cent.
Instead of hurting us, the tide has
been still more strongly in favor of
the United States.
The long and the short of the mat.
ter is that the Canadians Jump over
the imaginary boundry line between
their Dominion and the United States,
and buy American goods because
they prefer them and get quicker de
liveries-in many cases of better quail
tiles at lower prices. When it comes
to buying goods, price, quality and
delivery are more potent factors than
sentimental allegiance.
Nor has Canada, considering her
slow growth and the fact that her
population is only one-sixteenth that
of the United States, with a cores
pondingly limited power of produc-
ton, any right to complain OF the
volume of her sales to Us Starting
from 1873, the records of those sales
increased from $37, 100000 to $751;
90 1000 in 1904.
On this side OF the account Canada's
best year was 1882, when her sales
to us we're $57, 100000 and the bal
an ;e in her favor more than $14 ,00O,-
900. AT no time during the reciproc-
lsty Aears did she sell us over $42,-
100000 a year, while since 1892 the
amount has not gone below $4S,'
100000
What Canada really needs is not
reciprocity, buta political relation OF
more intimate character with the
American Union.

FRANCIS MURPHY
The Genial Reformer in His Declining
Years---MethOds of a Successful
temperance Advocate


temperance Advocate
Especial Correspondence of the Troy Times
Francis Murphy, one of the best
known and most successful temper
ance workers that ever lived, has de-
cided to spend the remainder OF his
days in California and has chosen
Los Angeles as his home.
Not satisfied with his record of half
a million signers of the famous
Murphy pledge, Mr.. Murphy is still
continuing his work. Although he is
no longer young in years Frances
Murphy at heart refuses to age as the
days pile upon his shoulders and
whiten his hair. He reminds one of
the lines
"Hearty and hale is he,
An oak that ls covered with snowt1 axes. !"
Although it is difficult to estimate
the exact number that have signed
the famous pledge and pinned on the
bit of blue ribbon that accompanies
it, the temperance reformer says he
knows there have been at least half a
million.
Chow have you managed to do it?"
he was once asked soon alter going
to Los Angeles by someone curious
to know the secret OF such success.
81 have just preached the gospel of
loving kindness"
The answer was characteristic.
And he not only prea.hes the gos.
pei but he lives it as we'll. 1t shines
from his twinkling blue eyes, it is felt
In his vigorous handshake and more
than all is heard in his voice, which
with his strong Irish brogue has
great power over an audience.
Francis Murphy does not condemn
the saloon men or the drinkers, but
somehow he just loves them into
signing his pledge.
"Why," he says, "the drinking man
is the most respectable sinner in the
world" and to show that there is no
ill-feeling he makes Saturday night
visits to the saloons, where he shakes
hands with the men behind the bar.
His methods have been original, and
he has always interested the wealthy
class of men and women and also the
newspapers. One has furnished the
means for carrying on his work, the
other the advertising. In the news
paper Offices, where the editors and
reporters are often too busy to stop
and eat at the proper time, there is
always tine for a handshake with the
Irish temperance worker.
In Philadelphia during one series
of meetings 95, 900 signed the pledge;
in Pittsburg As, 600 signatures were
secured.
One secret of Mr.. Murpby's success
has been that he has not rescued The
drunkard and then left him to the
mercy and ieers OF his old compan-
ions. He invites the pledge signers
to his home, and watches over them,
while his sweet faced wife, whose mot.
to Is also kindness, welcomes them
and treats them as honored guests.
The song GOD Be With You,"
sung in our churches, was composed
for Mr.. Murphy by Rev. DR.. Ranken
as the temperance worker was about
to sail for England.

ROBBED AND BEATEN BY
NEW FOUND FRIENDS
Electrician From Fresno "Becomes
Acquainted" Through Many
Drinks and Loses Wealth

To the man who mourns the fact
that he has few friends the little tale
which Claude B. Smith,, a Western
Union lineman from Fresno, related
to the police is of especial significance.
Smith came to Los Angeles Thurs
day and according to his own state
ment he was simply "overburdened
with money" He was also afflicted
with loneliness for he knew not soul
in town.
It didn't take the man from the
raisin city long to get acquainted. III
one of the down town saloons he met
a pair of agreeable strangers, who were
not averse to having drink with the
newcomer.
One drink led to another and 1t was
not long before Smith and his new
found friends felt as though they were
old college chums who had met after
a long separation, The only trouble
with the whole affair was that every
time drink was had. and that was
quite frequently, Smith would do the
buying for all.
Along IN the evening, Wnen eacn ana
every individual of the trio was stag
eering along under a heavy burden,
one of the men proposed that buggy
ride was one of the features of the
evenings pleasure. Smith went to a
livery stable and secured a rig
The drive which followed led along
Ninth street and down toward the
river When the bridge was reached
Smiths companions threw the visitor
out of the buggy and after rendering
what they considered was a sufficiency
of hard knocks, proceeded to go
through the Fresno mans pockets, re-
lieving him of about eighty dollars
Smith was taken to the police sta
ton and related his experiences to
the authorities. He was unable to give
much of a description of his erstwhile
friends, and eyen when one man who
had been arrested on suspicion was
brought before him he was unable to
Identify him.

JUDGE FAILS AS

Couple HopeIessIy Separated, Al
though No Decree Of Divorce
Has Been Granted

A postponement of proceedings was
ordered in Judge Aliens court yester-
day in the case of a petition for di-
vorce asked by Annie J. Fraser against
Fred II. Fraser, and although the Judge
played the part of peacemaker, his
efforts were unavailing, and husband
and wife left the court room, hopelessly
separated.
The couple own a small farm at the
outskirts of the city and a little home
on the property. This the woman
wanted mortgaged to help in her sup
port during the divorce proceedings.
The couple have two beautiful daugh-
ters and the young women appeared in
court with their mother.
Don't you think this trouble can be
settled without divorce?" asked the
Judge of the woman. Don't you think
that for the sake of your daughters
you might consent to a reconciliation?
Do you not know, with your little
property gone and your daughters rely
ing on you for support, that they will
be thrown upon the temptations of the
world?" queried Judge Allen, while the
