Mr.. Wallace said that In considering
the additional time required in the con-
struction OF a sea level canal the prompt
and efficient utilization of the Panama
railroad was a matter Of great import
ance.
Mr. Wallace said there were two sug-
gestions which had been subjected TO
careful review because Of criticisms
passed on them. First. that the rail
road should he substituted for the canal
while the latter is being constructed.
II so, he said It should be completely
separated in management and control
from any steamship line at either end and
the transfer from ship to ship would be
al a fiat rate per ton regardless OF class
fication osscept that light and bulky art-
cles should be rated M n certain number
OF cubic feet to tho ton.
This rate. he contended. should not
exceed s. per ton and be reduced as busi
ness increased. Under such a system OF
administration he urged there is no oc-
casion for the Panama railroad TO main
tain a corporate existence with offices in
New York for the road can be better con-
trolled by n single competent railway
manager on the isthmus. This arrange
mcnt alone. he said. would save a large
annual expenditure which he asserted Is
now apparently wasted on the Panama
railroad organization.
In closing Mr.. Wallace said: 1T is
much easier TO maintain and regulate the
traffic along the lines TO which IL has
been accustomed than IT is to regain II
after II has once been diverted to new
routes and the committee ought not 10
overlook the completion Of the Tehumilt-
pee route. which is now being provided
with every kind Of facility for handling
traffic from ship TO cars and from cars
TO ship across that is'nmus and which
II Is suggested ought 20 be Immediately
provided at Panama"

a MODEL DAIRY FARM.

We saw a dairy farm recently that
in many respects is model Of its
kind, and we give brief description
of it, thinking it may prove of interest
to our readers. The proprietor Of the
farm began in small way some If
teen years ago and secured few thor
oughbred Jersey cows, from which by
careful testing and selecting he was
able to build up herd Of dairy cows
possessing more than ordinary g.,
pacity for milk and cream production.
This process Of selecting covered a pc
Rod of years. Today his herd num-
bers hundred animals thoroughbred
and registered or eligible to registry.
During the past year from sixty cows,
which include the youngest heifers in
milk, he has received return Of $3.50
per head. Everything about the farm
as regards accommodation and equip
ment is thoroughly up to date The
dairy barn, just enlarged and COM
pleted, is provided with cement floors
and cutters, while swing stanchions
are provided, giving the animals the
greatest amount of freedom and COM
fort consistent with the space allowed
them. a silo having capacity Of $50
tons of cnsilage provides the animals
with supply of the most choice fodder
during the winter months. while IN
abundance of green corn is provided
to supplement the blue grass pasture
during the months of July and August,
yxyha tho y.,1,,e cJ, A.. -
on the farm provides the necessary fa-
cilities for proper cooling of the milk.
Located at distance Of ten miles from
a town Of 10000, he finds there ready
market for his milk and cream, the
supply being shipped each morning by
express and distributed by his own
milk wagons. No attempt is made in
the management of this dairy to manu-
facture butter, as ready market is
found at good prices for the rich milk
product. Instead of following the plan
common with so many dairymen Of
furnishing low grade Of milk to his
customers at low price, it has been
his constant aim to furnish the finest
and richest product possible, and his
efforts along this line have been amply
repaid by the additional price received.
So successful has this man been and
so well appointed and up to date are
his fixtures and general dairy equip
ment that men come from all over the
state to inspect his dairy farm. Els
success is not impossible for others
who will adopt the same methods.

CHAPTER XIV.
ST. MARTINS SUMMER.

Yes, at the great cardinals levee I
was the only client. I stared round
the room, a long narrow gallery,
through which it was his custom to
walk every morning after receiving
his more important visitors. 1 stared
l say, round this room, in a state of
stupefaction. The seats against either
wall were empty, the recesses of the
windows empty too. The hat, sculp-
tlred and painted here and there, the
staring R, the blazoned arms, looked
down on a vacant floor. Only, on a
little stool by the main door, sat a
quiet-faced man in black, who read,
or pretended to read, in little book,
and never looked up. One of those
men, blind, deaf, secretive, who fatten
in the shadow of the great.
At length, while stood COMPOUNDED
and full of skamed thought-for I had
seen the ante-chamber of Richelieus
old hotel so crowded that he could not
walk through it-this man closed his
book, rose and came noiselessly to-
wards NE. m. de Berault?" he said.

But | had short time to think of these
things. We passed through two rooms,

writing; we stopped at third door.
Over all brooded a silence which could
be felt. The usher knocked, opened.

On leaving we wished him the CUSTOM

stock, grain and machinery now on

$1,4OO, which, taking everything into
consideration, is very creditable
showing. We predict that with no re-
verses the young man will own fine
farm of his own, free from incum-
brance, inside Of ten years. This case
is not mentioned because it is impos-
sible or improbable or even exceptional.
1t simply shows what can be accom-
plished when one goes at a thing with
intelligence, perseverance and indus
try, under which circumstances the ele-
ment Of chance is reduced to mini
mum. This man is having good luck,
SO called, because he is willing to work
