to growing roses and shrubs.
While only a small part OF the old
Alcorn place is now in cultivation, lit
is the purpose Of the managerial the
farm to plant at least i, 900 acres In
roses and shrubs. Already there is a
good demand for the products Of this
unique industry. The soft wood root

FOREIGN POSTAGE is REDUCED.

Universal Congress Agrees Upon n
Rate beneficial to Commerce.
In connection with the work of the
recent universal postal congress, the
Postoffice Department has given out the
following statement as 60 the effect of
one of the provisions of that convention
as affecting this country:
The universal postal congress, recently
in convention at Rome, Italy, ordered a
substantial reduction in letter postage by
increasing the unit of weight, effective on
and after Oct. /, 1907, from fifteen to
twenty grams, and providing that while
postage on the first twenty grams shall
remain at % confines GO cents), every
additional twenty grams shall be at the
rate Of II confines CO centS).
Great Britain and the United States
strongly urged that the amt of weight for
them should be fixed at one ounce, as it
would be extremely difficult for them to
express an equivalent weight for twenty
grams, not having adopted the metric sys-
TEN. This request was granted. This
will give the two great countries excep-
tionally low rates for the exchange of
letters. Under the reduced rates a letter
to Great Britain will cost cents for the
first ounce and s cents for the second
ounce, or s cents for two ounces. In
other words, when the new rates become
effective a letter packet weighing six
ounces can be sent to Great Britain at
the rate now charged for a two-ounce
racket"

PACKERS GET CLEAN BILL.
Investigators Find Meat Is whole
some and Yard Mefhnds Gnod

Investigators Find Meat Is whole
some and Yard Methods Good.
The committee of experts engaged by
the Illinois Manufacturers Association
and the Chicago Commercial Association
to investigate conditions at the Chi
cago stock yards has made its reports,
giving the packing plants clean bill
of health. The products are declared
wholesome and the inspection efficient,
and nearly all the rooms are found
cleanly and under sanitary conditions.
The report covers period of two
weeks, during which the committee in
spected conditions in fourteen packing
houses. On many points the inquiry
showed conditions satisfactory. Some
of the comments on methods may be
thus summarized
Night cleaning system is ample.
Carcasses of sheep, cattle and hogs
never touch floors.
Ante norton examination less impor-
| tant than post-mortem.
Preserved meat can be spoiled by i'm
proper handling.
Federal inspection laws sufficiently
rigid.
Condemnation of young carcasses too
| strict
Yards not injurious to live animals con-
| fined therein.
| Cattle inspection rigid.
Hog inspection reasonably efficient.
! Sheep inspection less thorough.
/ Cripples and ''downers'' sometimes
wholesome.
The experts made recommendations
touching sanitation in brief as follows:
Abolition of old sections of all plants.
Obedience of bosses to anti-spitting
rule.
/ More and modern toilet rooms
Impervious material for killing floors.
Better light and ventilation for cutting
] and trimming rooms.
Installation of fly screens.
Workmen's clothing should be cleaned
daily.
Requiring workmen to wash hands.
Hospital for sick animals advised.
AS to methods in vogue, improve
ments urged were in short as follows !:
Personalities should be subjected to
| further inquiry.
Supervision on all materials used for
| canned goods.
Cleanly methods in handling picked
meats.
Scientific tests for canned goods
Reform in methods of utilizing unnutri-
tive meat.
Correct and explicit labels on cans.
Cleaner methods of handling sausage
| meat.
Responsibility for any meat unfit for
human consumption that may in the
future get into interstate or foreign
commerce is placed squarely with the
federal authorities. In this declaration
the committee of experts represents that
it has examined the meat inspection
bill recently passed by Congress and
finds that its provisions are so strin-
gent that government inspectors are to
blame if any unwholesome meat is
passed.

ROADS TO QUIT GRAIN TRADE
New Railway Rate Law to Have Big
Eject on the Business.

Enect on the business.
What effect will the new railroad law
have upon the price of this years grain
and upon its marketing? This question
is perplexing some of the best lawyers
who have been consulted by railroads
tapping the Western grain fields. which
during past seasons have purchased
large quantities of grain and placed it
in warehouses which they own or con-
troll to be marketed at their pleasure.
Under the new law railroads are pro-
hibited from engaging in business in
competition with their patrons. 1t is
asserted at the Interstate Commerce
Commission that the Missouri Pacific
and other cases demonstrate the foun-
datiOn for the assertions Of Senator
La Toilette that railroads have been
controlling he grain-buying business.
This must stop, the officials say, and
under the new law the grain business
must be changed materially. The rail-
roads may own elevators, but it is held
they cannot buy and store grain. They
may place the grain of patrons in the
elevators and may include in their bill
an item 70 cover this service.
The effect of the enforcement of the
new law upon the grain business is I'M
certain. but the officials have no doubt
that the railroads must cease to have
any pecuniary interest in the grain
which is shipped over their lines
