How Felt Hats Are Made,

Many people think that the felt hat
lie made in come manner from . roll
OF cloth, q piece Of leather and piece
of ribbon. A felt hat 10 made from
the finest furs, and the process 10 in
tricate aud difficult. The furs chiefly
employed are those Of the beaver,
muskrat, hare, rabbit and nutris.
They come principally from Austria,
Scotland, France and Belgium. Lon
don 10 the chief market where they
are sold at auction. There are several
importing concerns in the United
States. According to an exchange
the manufacture is described Is fol-
lows:
First, the fur side 10 covered with
preparation Of quicksilver and acid
which kills the oil in the fur. The
furs are then fed through cutting
machine and the fur is removed from
the skin. The skin 10 shaved of,
leaving the fur almost undisturbed, ~
it was on the back OF the animal. The
hair on the backs, sides and bellies
are kept separate. Then comes the
mixing of the fur, which is very i'm
portant. In the mixture lies the
secret OF durability. In land animals
the fur on the back lie much finer
than that on the sides, and that Of
the sides are finer than that OF the
bellies. OF water animals the oppo-
site is true. About three and one
fourth ounces OF fur is used for bat
and it is formed by machine. The
formed cone is then immersed in first
cold and then hot water to cause it to
shrink and knit together, and between
each immersion it il rolled. This is
the telling process. Tho hat must
then be stiffened, finished with fine
emery paper, dyed, blocked and
shaped, afterwards being completed
with bands and ribbons.

Promoting the Poultry Industry

The interest taken by residents in
this county in poultry raising is as
sreditable to them as it is and will be
financially profitable. An exchange
says there is no valid reason why this
State should have to import any OF
the eggs which it consumes or the
poultry, which is always in good de-
msnd in the market. This fact is
making itself apparent to the settlers
in various districts and increasing at
tsntion is being given to this branch
OF industry in country life.
Properly and intelligently under
taken there is pleasure and profit in
the poultry business. Handled in a
careless manner and without due
regard to climatic and other condi-
tions it will be disappointment.
In its relation to the future devel-
opment OF any section the industry is
rightly looked upon as a most i'm
portant one. With the rapid increase
in population in the cities and towns
OF this region the demand becomes
greater, and good prices are assured
for years to come. A good export de-
mand can also be counted upon. 1t

Of an industry that can be relied on
for excellent returns upon the invest.

Trust Scandals.

As an octopus hunter it would be
hard to beat the President. This ad.
ministration will have many things
to be remembered by, but few will
rank in popular memory with the
number OF trusts detected and ex-
posed. In fact it looks as though the
Presidents dictum that there were
good and bad trusts was near the
point OF disappearing. He has GER
tainly located a plethora OF bad trusts,
but there seems to be minus mark
still on the side of the good ones.
And the latest OF these is the packing
house scandal in Chicago. The Presi.
dent would have passed this by in
silence il he could, and very properly,
too. 1t would have made for personal
popularity and would have been good
campaign material, but the President
would have foregone both of these
issues if he could have corrected the
evil without publicity. But he could
not.
There was a good deal of surprise
when it developed that Senator Bev-
eridge had offered an amendment to
the Agricultural Department appro-
priation bill providing for very drastic
meat inspection, the expenses to be
borne by the packers. There was not
even a division asked for on the
amendment, which was really rider
on very important bill. From this
curious piece OF legislation developed
the whole story.
1t seems that last February there
was written novel purporting to
deal with the packing house condi-
tions in Chicago. The novel was out
rageous in its statements. But the
President sent out private com mis-.
sion composed of the Commissioner
of Labor and j. b. Reynolds, who is
not connected in any way with the
government service, to ASCERTAIN the
facts in the case. They reported that
the novel had not overdAawn the pic
ture at all, and that the conditions in
Chicago were almost too disgusting
to print.
1t was obvious that another trust
stahdal had been unearthed, and
though it would have been good cam.
paien material, an effort was made to
tack the Beveridge amendment to the
Agricultural ppropriation bill and
correct the condition without creating
scandal that would effect our trade
abroad. This was patriotic enough
plan, but the story leaked out from
some source or other, and now it has
been blown broadcast. Probably little
harm has been done. Foreign dealers
have been making the most of the
story as disclosed in the novel for
months past, says an exchange, and it
is just rs we'll for the people in this
country to get at the truth OF the
story and let what credit there 10 in it

Value Of the Philippines.

It 10 impossible to tell, even ap-
proximately, what value the Philip
pines are capable Of developing until
the railroads get in operation there
and whom we speak Of the Philippines
now W. practically mean the island
Of Luzon. Some little impress OF civ
ilization has been made 10 the
Visayas, but the exploitation of that
group will be the work Of the next
generation, and the cleaning up and
opening up Of the Moro Islands will
be the task which tho grandchildren
OF present workers will complete. But
Luson lies ready and ripe, and few
years will see the mines and fields and
forests Of that great island filled with
an activity and industry which will
shake from them the lethargy OF the
lost centuries. The concessions re.
Gently granted are already in the pro-
cess OF being transformed into rail-
roads to penetrate the recesses OF
Luzon, and when these railroads are
in operation we shall begin to know
clearly, for the first time, what we
got for our money when we made our
bargain with Spain for the possession
Of the Philippines.
We bought Alaska for song and
have never hsd occasion to repent tho
bargain. The Philippines came .
