J. Hill Says that United States IL Fac

James ]. Hill, of the Great Northern
Railway, to representative of "Sue-
cess Magazine" "I believe in exam
ming them without prejudice, IN order
to form conclusions that approximate
the truth. For instance, don't try to
palliate the fact that in this country
we have some big and threatening
problems to solve.
zone Of them Is the labor question.
The present standard of wages is ari-
fetal. 1t must be reduced if this coun-
try is to compete with others in the
markets of the world. Our foreign
trade in manufactured products, in
stead of increasing with the increased
production, is falling off.
Consider the single but important
item of steel. A very few years ago
we were told that our steel was COM
manding the worlds markets. Nobody
dares to tell US that now. Even ma
tives of our own country, in the Philip
pines, have recently been sending big
orders for steel to Germany. Why?
Simply because they can get it cheaper
| there.
| 'As it is In steel, so it is in many
other products. Germany is making
great strides ahead of US. She is, in
fact, leading the world, and promises
to increase her lead. Her mechanics
work cheaply, and spend sixty-six
hours week in their factories, where
as ours spend but forty-four. More
over, they are better workmen.

her in foreign trade until we reduce
the cost of our manufactured products
and improve their quality. Even Eng
land. suffering from Industrial paraly-
sis because of the power of the trades
unions and other influences, is moving

Is that we are being badly beaten in

No Big Game Hunting in Alaska,

Washington, March l29.-As the re-
suit of representations by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, it was determined
by the cabinet today that no permits
should be issued this year for big game
hunting in Alaska, except for authoriz-
ed representatives of museums. Simil-
ar action was taken last year because of
the knowledge that game in Alaska
was rapidly being destroyed and it was
desired to preserve it so far as possible
for the benefit of the natives, although
they are required to comply with the
local game laws.

Ravaged by Fire.
Albany, Or, March 31.-The old AL
bany woolen mill, brick building
being operated by the Bannockburn
Woolen Mills company, of Portland,
was Wednesday entirely destroyed by
fire, involving the owners in loss of
about $50, 900, and the city in a loss in
payroll and general expenditures in the
city's stores that cannot be replaced in
years. While the Bannockburn Woolen
Mills company will not suffer loss
greater than the figures given above,
the building could not be duplicated
for less than $4,000. 1t cost that
when built, and later some 500, 200
more was spent upon it.
The fire originated in the drying
room. in wooden annex or basement
built below the main floor of the build
ing, on the water front. 1t is sup
posed to have been started by an ex-
plosion in the steam drying apparatus,
though the exact origin is not known.
The flames shot quickly up the big
power belt to the first floor of the main
building. Here the greasy floor and
woodwork furnished fuel for the flames
and in a moment the entire building
was on fire.
The building, with all the valuable
and intricate machinery, is total loss
There were no manufactured products
on hand, hence the losses are confined
to buildings, machinery and the small

boiler and engine are thought to be un
injured, though some explosions tina
were heard from the direction of tn,
engine and drying rooms may have in
jured the big machinery.

Dehornine the Calves.

Since the Introduction of pure bred
sires into the cattle regions Of Texas,
the horns of Texas cattle do not reach
across State lines to interfere with
domestic concerns out Of that State.
Nevertheless, the large cattle breeders
there are dehorning the calves in order
to make them more acceptable in the
feed lots of the corn belt. AS result
Of this a Texas paper says that no
trouble is experienced in selling Pan

year. in fact, there were not enough to

a lot and Colorado more than in many
years. Orders from Montana and
South Dakota were light, however, ard

Dipping Hens For Lice.

A Western poultryman writes OF dip
ping hens as follows: Make a very
strong suds with any good soap. Keep
the suds warm enough to be comforta-
BILE to bear the hands in. One person
takes the chicken by the feet in one
hand and the neck in the other hand
and immerses Mr.. or Mrs. Chicken, as
the case n>y be, back downwards into
the suds. then moves them back and
forth. holding the head up out of the
suds. while an assistant rubs the pa.
tient and raises the feathers to get the
suds to every part Of the body.
Then raise the feathers on the head
and neck and wash with the suds;
squeeze out as much Of the suds as you
can from the feathers. If the weather
is quite warm and sunny, let the chick
ems 80, but if the least bit windy or
chilly. put them in a warm place TO
dry. Two or three minutes OF work
with each fowl in the suds should do
the business. But remember success
depends upon thoroughness, so be sure
the work is we'll done.
For head lice on young chicks dampen
the top Of the head and back of the
neck. as these are the only parts az
fected by this parasite. Then rub on
SOAP to make lather. and see that II
covers the entire part affected, then
turn the chicks out and let them 20.
Every louise that comes in contact with
the suds will die in less than three
minutes, and there will be no harm to
the chickens from the suds.-Massachu'

The alsike is better adapted to mix

Depth to Plow For Corn.

A farmer inquired of the Practical
Farmer in regard to the proper depth
to plow for corn, and was told by T.
B. Terry that the answer depends upon
circumstances. If one is blowing new,
deep, fertile soil that is in sod, for
corn, shallow turning may be all right.
The rich prairies Of the West were
always plowed shallow at, first. II
plowing land where the soil Is thin,
say not more than four or five inches
deep, and under it is hard clay, deep
plowing all at once would probably be
a serious injury to the corn crop fol-
lowing. Corn,is sun plant and likes
to feed near the surface largely. On
sandy land, where the subsoil is loose
and sandy, it may not be best to turn
under sod for corn more than about
five or. six inches deep. The subson
is mellow and one is not likely to gain
much by working it deeply. But on
ordinary land. where the subsoil has
more or less clay in it, and the soil is
waning in fertility, I think careful
system of deepening the plowing grad
ually will always be of advantage for
corn as we'll as other farm crops. This
where the farmer pays attention 20
rotation and to furnishing his SOL
abundantly with vegetable matter. The
result will be particularly helpful in
dry seasons. I know men, widely scat
tered over the country, who have
grown large corn crops under these cir
cumstances where the land was plowed
some eight inches deep, while shallow
plowers met with partial failure. It
is hard to tell exactly to what farmer
owes large crop sometimes; but COM
mon sense would indicate that good,
fertile seed bed eight inches deep would
enable one to carry crop through a
dry time better than he could in bed
four inches deep. One has to stir about
two inches of surface anyway. With
the shallow plowing only two inches
are left Of the soil for roots. With the
deep plowing six inches are left. But

is hard and clayed. Quite likely these
old successful farmers were right, as
their soil was when they began farm
ing. There may be deep, mellow, rich
soils where they would be right now.
But I feel sure there are few Of these
farms now where deeper plowing. un-
der proper management would not
show better results. When the land
was new and rich, one could skim it
over and prosper. I do not believe it
can be done now, generally.
The demand for girls for general
housework in Chicago is much larger
than the supply.

SLIDES DISPENSED WITH.
New Projecting Apparatus Fer H.
lustrating Lectures.

A new form Of lantern has recently
made its appearance, which differs
markedly both in its optical principles
and in the results attained from the
ordinary projecting apparatus which
the lecturer is accustomed to use.
Limited as it is to the utilization OF
slides only, the ordinary lantern ren-
ders it impossible to use directly IL
lustrations from books, sketches, spec
linens and models. Photographs OF
these various objects must first be
made, and from the negative lantern
slide prepared. Even though the re-
sulting slide may be sharp and clear
in every detail, it still presents the
defect Of presenting its subject in dead
black and white tones. Attempts at
coloring, although sometimes success
full, are often the cause of many griev-
Gus errors on the part of the artist.
The apparatus which we are about to
describe, and which has been recently
introduced by Philadelphia instrument
makers, projects on screen not only
the image of lantern slide, but re-
fleets as Well pictures in books, speci-
mems of insects, or other natural OBJ
jects, mechanical models and the like,
and this all in the natural colnrs Of
the objects. The lecturer is thus en-
abled to make use of the countless IL
Illustrations in magazines and books, Of
an innumerable series Of color prints,
sketches, photographs, and Of working
models that cen be shown in motion
