An interesting bulletin recently is
sued by the Department of Agriculture
is designed to show how the cost of
producing crop may be accurately
recorded. The report is based upon ex-
periments made in Minnesota, where a
large number of farmers co-operated by
making daily record OF every cent spent
for implements, seeds, materials, labor,
etc. Thus the figures represent the
work of practical, everyday farmers in
the act of producing crops for profit
Taking barley as an example, the cost
of production is itemized under the
heads seed value, cleaning seed, plow-
ing, dragging, seeding, cutting, Irvine,
shocking, stacking and threshing, de-
probation of machinery and land rent
al. The figures represent the average
of all farms in the group, the final
figure being the cost per acre. The bull
letin shows how these statistics may
aid in preparing for system of crop
rotation.

The Isthmian Canal Commission has
decided to call for bids to build the
Panama Canal by contract. The sue
cessful bidder win be required to take
over all the work of construction, in
Guiding any contracts that may have
been made for the employment of Chi
nese labor The commissions principal
reason for this change of plan is the
labor problem, as it is believed that the
private contractor will be less hamper
ed by government red tape in solving
it. Nevertheless the commissioners in
sist that the government will not relin-
quish the responsibility for the con-
struction work The contract will be
made with one individual or corpora
ton, which, however, may be composed
of several subcontractors, each of
whom will be expert in some particular
branch of the work. The companies bid
ding must have a capitalization Of
$5,000,000 over all debts and incum-
brances, and the successful bidder must
furnish bond of $3,000,000. The COM
pensation to the contractor will be on
the percentage plan, and to the lowest
bidder the contract will be awarded,
the total cost of the job being estimated
by board of engineers, two of whom
will be appointed by the bidder and
three by the government. The compe-
tition is not limited to American bid
ders. Chairman Shonts says that it
would take many years for the govern
ment to get an adequate force of COM
petent engineers and experts, because
these men are now controlled by the
leading contractors of the United
States. Consequently it is short cut
to utilize the trained forces of the best
construction companies.

The lemon postcard is the latest.
Hundreds of thousands of the cards
bearing the picture of a wrinkled old
lemon have been sold already. The
picture postcard craze is now at its
worst. The summers crop is in. From
every quarter of the civilized globe
they have been flying all summer in
millions. The business has grown to
staggering proportions. New York is
the seat of the trade, and dealers esti-
mate that one person in every eight
buys a picture postal every day. There
are $4,000 stores in the United States
handling them at present where three
years ago there were not hundred. 1t
has frequently been remarked during
recent years that the art and practice
of letter writing have passed away,
and the picture postal has helped on
his tendency. People write less than
they ever did, and yet they keep their
friends at home posted as to their
itinerary during q long trip better than
they ever did before The picture postal
tells a story. That is why it is so pop
ular.

One practice that has been so neglect.
ed as to almost be given the name of a

is that of stacking grain. There are
too few farmers who can build stack

easy. Threshing from the shock does
the damage.

rom individual ears in separate places
did he learn of the individuality of

long since ceased to learn any more.
Others are satisfied they can still learn
something.
