FIVE years from now in New York or
at way station in Minnesota. The
maximum price it would not predict,
for that depends upon economic condi-
tions; meaning, in this instance, the
ability of the public to pay. Ac
tually the trust has perfected system
whereby the price of a million tons
delivered in New York or half a
wagonload sold farmer from an ele-
vator at way station on the prairies
of North Dakota is fixed with equal
certainty and rigidity. 1t determines
the exact profit both of the New
York wholesaler and of the little re-
taller in the smallest community. 1t
knows every item of cost down to the
fraction of a cent, from the mine to
the consumers coal bin. Those poor,
ignorant dealers who labored under
the foolish delusion that they had
right to do business as they saw fit,
and who sought to augment their
total profits by cutting prices to in
crease sales, have swiftly been shown
the error of their ways. The mon
opoly has simply cut off their supply
of coal and driven them out of bust
ness. Already this gigantic trust has
taken from the people $4,000, 900
more than could have been collected
had the combination not been effec-
tive.
ut was Franklin b. Gowen, already
shown to be a man of mark in the
coal country, who madevthe next i'm
portant move in this history, and who
is, after all, responsible for the coal
trust of today. Men now say of Cow
en- that he was so years ahead of his
time. In his conception of the power
of consolidation he was undoubtedly
pioneer; but in the matter of an i'm
maculate integrity and patriotism,
he had strangely little in common
with the financiers who later adopt
ed and perfected his views. By buy
ing valuable coal lands and operating
the mines themselves, the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western and the Della
ware & Hudson had already laid a
foundation for permanent prosperity
when President Gowen in 1871 united
13 different properties in the Phila
delphia Coal g Iron company. But
whereas the two railroads had had no
othersidea than of lending stability to
their own interests, President Governs
action, taken in the face of strong op-
position from his associates, was the
expression of vast impersonal ambi
tion. The later supremacy of the
Philadelphia & Reading far more
than justified him; and today this
road now owns outright more than 63
per cent of the unmined anthracite.
''It is curious commentary on the
later development of finance that this
early move of the coal trust pioneer
should be noted by the railroad men
of today, not only for its wisdom but
for what they consider its Quixotic
honesty. Forty millions was the price
paid by Gowen for his coal properties,
and be turned them over to his rail
road for precisely what they cost
him."

No effort whatever is being made
in Grand Junction TO secure a recon-

is the general opinion here that he
richly deserves the penalty. What

part of philanthropic people whose
Identity is not known and as a mat
ter Of fact it is not generally believ-
ed that any decided effort to save
him is being made outside of the
murderer's own efforts.
The GnIIows Are Ready.
Unless his sentence is commuted by
Governor Buchtel McGarvev will be
hanged sometime during the weel,
beginning January 7th. probably at
sundown on Friday. although the
hour of execution rests with the ward
en of the penitentiary. The gallows
at the state prison are always ready
for their victim and when the con
demned steps upon the fatal trap
the vengence of the law is quickly
meted out. Under the law none but
the officials may witness the eXecu-
ton
If executive clemency is extended
to the murderer the warden may not
know of it until within short time
Of the hanging. Two years ago when
King. the colored wife murderer of
Colorado Springs, was preparing for
death the governor commuted pun
ishment to life Imprisonment at the
last moment. All arrangements had
been made for his execution when
a message was received from Denver
staying the hanging. In half hour
more Warden Cleghorn would have
carried out the sentence of death,

Buchtel Will be inaugurated on Tues
day of the week in which the eXecu-
tion takes place. He has not Express
ed himself but 1t is not believed that
he will interfere. McGarvey's chanc-
es of Communication of sentence are
very, very meagre.
Those who are familiar with the
of the terrible crime
are almost unanimous in the belief
thar the man justly deserves to die
on the scaffold. II was on Wednesday
Sept 26 that McGarvey a prisoner in

captured one week later by a ranch
man near DeBeque. A few days lat
er he was given fair trial and found
guilty and upon him was imposed the
sentence of death by Judge Stevens.

VALUE OF BARNARD MANURE.

A series Of fertilizer tests conducted
by the Ohio state experiment station
furnish interesting as well as valuable
data concerning the fertilizing value
of barnyard manure as compared with
some of the more concentrated COM
mercial fertilizers. 1t was shown that
a ton of average mixed farm manure
as taken from the open barnyard con-
tains nine pounds Of nitrogen, ten of
potassium and three or four pounds Of
potash. In one of the experiments
made 800 pounds of acid phosphate
were added to eight tons Of manure and
applied to land on which corn, wheat
and clover were grown in rotation, with
the result that the three crops of the
rotation were increased in value $3S.21,
or $12.74 per annum. The result OBJ
tanned when the same amount of acid
phosphate was used with 4S0 pounds
of sodium nitrate costing $12 and 260
pounds of potassium chloride costing
$3.50 showed an annual increase in the
value Of crops produced of but $3.50.
Stated more simply. the eight tons Of
manure produced so per cent greater
annual increase than chemicals costing
$3.50. The experiment cited simply
emphasizes the value Of a fertilizer
that is available for every farmer and
indicates the necessity Of so handling
it as to realize it's maximum value
when applied to the land.

THE spRAYING Calendar.

The state experiment stations are do
ing a most helpful and practical serv-
ice for all lines Of agricultural and hor-
ticultural work, and as an aid to the
latter there is none which exceeds that
having to do with the proper and scien-
tific handling of the orchard and gar
den. Many of the experiment stations
have issued bulletins on the subject,
while others have put in condensed and
concise form directions for spraying
the orchard, fruits, vegetables and
flowers. This spraying calendar should
be in the hands of every orchardist,
gardener and florist. Besides giving d.
rections for making the different spray
ing solutions, the proper time and
method for doing the work are also in
dicated. One of the latest and most
complete calendars Of this character to
be issued is that which has been pre-
pared by the Iowa station at Ames
under the direction Of Professor s. A..
Beach, the head Of the horticultural de-
partment. Residents of the state may
secure the same by applying to G. f..
Curtis, director Of the experiment sta
ton, while those living outside the state
can doubtless secure the calendar at a
small cost in case their own station
does not issue them.

SOME FACTS ABOUT puRUM WHEAT.


The foothold which the durum, or
macaroni, wheat has been getting since
its introduction into this country some
six years ago by Secretary Wilson OF
the department of agriculture was Civ
en- an emphatic recognition early in
March of this year when the Illinois
railroad and warehouse commission in
Guided durum wheat as distinct grade
in their new grain inspection rules.
From data sent out by the department
at Washington it appears that one-half
of the wheat, not including wheat
-four, exported from customs districts
east of the Pacific coast and more than
80 per cent of the entire wheat exports
of the United States since July !, 1905,
were durum wheat. The shipments
from New York were sent for the most
part to ports on the Mediterranean sea,
while of the exports from Boston No.
600 bushels were consigned to the
above ports, SS,5S7 bushels to Ham
burg and $1,000 bushels to London.
Two facts may be mentioned as re-
sponsible for the remarkable showing
which has been made with this new
type of wheat. In the first place, the
growing of the wheat in the United
States has received a great impetus
| because it is in large measure
drought proof and gives large yield
in sections of the north and west which
are practically closed to the raising Of
ordinary wheat because of a scanty
rainfall. This is a clear economic gain
and means much in financial way to
the territory in question. A second
fact which has served to encourage its
culture and expectation Is the demand
already existing for it in European
countries, particularly bordering on the
Mediterranean, where it has been
grown for centuries and where it is
not now Produced in sufficient quaint
ties to supply the home demand.
