How to Make Money on a Farm.

Grandfather made money in his own way
but, the Men who are Making Money today
are not using Grandfather's Way. Successful
agriculture, like other successful enterprises
is on different basis than it was in Grand
father s day. Large crops of the best quality
produced at low cost is the Secret of present
day farming Successes Thousands of intelli
gent and progressive farmers Making
Money today because they have adopted mod
ern methods and machinery and keep informed
about the progress of agricultural develop
ment. A little more care in the cultivation
and little more attention to grading, will
produce bigger crops of better quality, that
sell at higher prices, Little things like these
make the difference between success and fail
ure Success depends upon knowledge, and
knowledge can be had only from experience
or reading the experience. of others The New
England Farmer Brattleboro, Vt, (the paper
your Grandfather read), is the Agricultural
Making Farmers Of New England exchange
ideas and methods and compare notes of their
successes and failures. 1t is the One Great
Agricultural Paper which Farmers must read

will Not Hurt New England.

Government railroad rate regulation was
treated at great length by Charles A. Prouty
of the interstate commerce commission in an
address before the Massachusetts state board
of trade at Boston Tuesday. Mr.. Prouty de-
scribed the rate bill now pending in con-
gress and promised a strict enforcement of
the law if passed. He declared there was
not the slightest foundation for the asser-
ton that the new rate bill would hurt New
England.
What l wish to emphasize he said, 'is
that New England suffers most, not from
the operation OF its own railroads, but from
those which are entirely without its borders

Rhythmic tramp tramp and whisthng over
head. The two Cinnamon watched the WORK
sullenly, whispering and mutterlng together

feeling akin to gratitude found its way into his
half-savage little breast; he could not explain
It. and there is no word in his language to
express gratitude, but he felt somehow as II
he would like to do something to please the
Americana. When he looked at the China
men, there came an expression under his heavy
black eyebrows such as his ancestors faces
might have worn when they challenged and
fought the Spanish rovers long years before.
The six o'clock bell at last changed out its
welcome announcement that working hours
were over. The convicts trooped down from
the loft and were marched back to jail for the
night, while the others dropped their work
as if it burnt them, and streamed away
toward their homes in the native quarter
Tom remained few minutes to speak with
the head weigher, and then babe him good

thing which he wished to do before going
to the Office uptown, and turning down the
street, walked briskly along in the cooling air
toward the mouth of the river, where, in
rather a deserted locality, stood another small
warehouse which his firm had hired for the

But Toms eyes were sharp, and he knew
the grades thoroughly. Not a bale left the
scales under his inspection until the required
number OF pounds was registered, and occa
slonally he would stoop and throw aside a
warp" or twist which appeared to him to be
OF INFERIOR color to the pile being weighed at
the time. The two Cinnamon muttered and
grumDled at this; they had never sold cargo
to this house before, and were accustomed to
careless or dishonest native clerks, who consd-

employers merely a stroke of business But
tnls lttle experiment had failed most lament
ably IN the case of Tom Wheeler, who was
determined q that if the quality of Phillips &

should not be his fault. So he went calmly

They each picked up one of the poles used

the now deepening shadow of the wall
And unknown to them, q, few yards behind

scampered like the wind down an alleyway,
arriving at the warehouse just after Tom had
unlocked the door and entered. 1t was a
rickety old structure, containing only few
Daies OF spoiled hemp and other things of
little value. The interior swarmed with rats
and centpedes, and its aspect was sufficiently
gruesome Tor, any deed of darkness; not a
particularly pleasant place in which to lie all
night, unconscious from blow ON the head.

he Ind just inside the door, between pile
OF hemp and the wall, under a high platform
winch ran along the side, supporting few
bales and loose fragments of mating
In short time an ugly yellow face peered
cautiously around the door-post. Tom was
still moving about at the other end of the
warehouse, whistling cheerfully for the bene-
lit OF the rats, and the two conspirators step
ped noiselessy in with their paper-soled
shoes, and stood in the shadow, holding their
weapons IN readiness. There was no doubt
as to their intentions, and Candido was lust
about to crawl through the warehouse and
warn Tom, when he noticed the long pigtails
OF the two Mongos, who were standing with
their backs turned within easy reach, were
hanging temptingly close to the bamboo post
which supported corner of the platform. The
impulse was irresistible; gingerly taking one
end OF each queue, unnoticed by the owners
thereof he tied them quickly in tight, hard
knot around the post and then awaited deyel-
opments, with eagerness mingled with terror
at his own telnerty.
The, next moment the unsuspecting Tom
turned and approached the group, but in
stead of coming to that door he went across
to open another, in order to admit more of
the fast waning light Now was the chance,
while his back was turned; the Chinamen'
with upralsed weapons, started to rush across
and the result exceeded Candido's highest
expectations.

feet; but the warehouse being only twenty

Railroads
EXPRESS MERGER HINTED
REORGANIZATION OF NORTHERN
PACIFIC COMPANY TAKEN TO
MEAN MUCH.

Speculation is rife among railroad
men as to the meaning of the reincor-
poration of the Northern Pacific Ex-
press company, under the name, North
ern Express company. ~. 49,.
The opinion is general that it means
merger of the express business Of the
Hill lines, the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the Burlington.
Heretofore, the express business Of
these railroad companies has been han
died by three different companies, the
Great Northern, the Northern Pacific
and the Adams. It is a matter of COM
mon report that the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific express companies
have always been owned by the same
interests that control the railroads Of
the same names. The Adams Express
company, however, is an old company
that operates on many railroads and is
Independent of their management.
The lease that the Adams Express
company has on the Burlington Express
business has not expired, but it is in
timated that when that lease does ex-
pire, it will not be renewed, but the
business will be handled by. an express
company owned and controlled by the
Hill interests.
If this be really the program, and one
express company is to take care Of the
business of all three of the Hill lines,
the new concern will handle traffic of
immense magnitude. At present the
mileage of the Burlington, with all its
branch lines, is $3.50 miles; that of the
Great Northern $3.50 miles, and that of
| the Northern Pacific $50 miles, max
be that tho newly incorporated North
ern Express company will be used to
