Who Should Pay?

The difference between putting. the
cost of beef inspection, on, the beef pack
ers and putting it on the Federal Gov
eminent is that in the latter case it would
be paid by all Of the people. while in the
former case is would be paid by those
who eat meat. In view of the fact that
those who do not eat. meat are few in
number the difference maybe regarded
as almost imaginary. The idea that if
the burden be laid On the packers it will
be paid out oltheapockets Of the packers
may be dismissed as illusory.
1t may be said that the main argu-
ment of those who support the plan of
payment by the packers is little to be
commended. They assert a fear that
if the Government is, made financially
responsible for the inspection some later
Congress will curtail the appropriation
and relax the system of inspection. They
look forward to a time when Congress will
be so corrupt that it viii listen to the
wiles of a packers lobby and reduce
the appropriation, or be 30 inefficient
and unpatriotic that it will from mo-
tives of alleged economy permit the
people of The country to be poisoned
by packers who would rather poison
people than lose a chanee TO make an
extra dollar Of profit. .rr =.
The proposed appropriation would hire
a full regiment OF inspectors at S. a day.
So far as 90 per cent. of our beef product
is concerned the present system is adj
mittedly properly safe and satisfactory.
The special. ground Of complaint re-
garding the remainder of the product is
that in som establishments matter
which is upwholesome and Injurious
is prepared uader grossly unsanitary
conditions. 'aIt Is evident that no packer
can afford TO carry the reputation of
preparing such a product under such
conditions. Unknown toothe public as
of that class and kind the public would
avoid his output as it would avoid an
escaped smallpox patient,
For the same reason that it does not
seem necessary TO-. Station a corps OF
inspectors in every bank in the land to
watch every bill or check in IT'S passage

American Enterprise In Bolivia.

Long isolated Bolivia is now to have a
railway system that will bring her rich
within reach of those who have
use for them. American enterprise has
secured the contract for the construction
of Bolivia's railways. New York bank
ers will furnish a littlemore than half of
the nearly $27, OOo, 900 required for the
work. The rest will be supplied by the
Bolivian Government.
By international treaty agreement
Argentina is already extending her
Northern Central Railway across the
Bolivian border to Tupiza. The system
for which the contract has been signed
will connect Buenos Ayres, via Tupiza,
with Potosi, Uyuni, Sucre, Oruro and
La Paz, from which points branch lines
will run into the most productive dis
tricts of Bolivian territory. In the
latter part of March the President of
Chile signed a decree authorizing a loan
of $12, 500, 900, placed in Germany, for
the construction of a line from the west
coast port of africa to La Paz. The
completion of the lines for which ar
rangements have been made will give
Bolivia outlets to both east and west
coasts with local lines as feeders. One
Of these local lines will run northward
from La Paz to Puerto Pando, where
water connection, via the River Benz,
will be made with the Amazon, and thus
a third outlet established. A fourth
outlet will be made by connecting La
Paz and oruro, the present terminal Of

Molye6 And sheep.

1t was the Shaw Perkins scheme to
bunco the Iowa Republicans into believ-
ing that Mr.. R~oosFpELT was giving aid
and comfort to the Shaw-Perkins faction
and putting the Administration brand
and label on standpattism. That scheme
was shown up. That gold brick found
no buyers. ~ -
How is it ni'Pennsylvania? There
the Hon. BoIEs PENRosE, whose long
passion for reform is known to every
body, has nominated a Republican
ticket. The Penrose machine Repub-
licans stick the name of ROOSEVELT on
their phylacteries. They sing hymns to
him with pious Voices. Yet they are
substantially the same patriots who
were cleaned out in Philadelphia and
the rest of the State lasl. year; and Mr..
RoosEvELT's Administration by the
hand of the Hon. ELIHU Roof cheered
on the work.
Have the Hon. Bo1Es PENRosE and his
associates been transformed suddenly
into reformers? Have they any more
right to Use Mr.. R~oOsEvELT's record
and popularity TO cover their nakedness
than Mr.. SHAW had to pose as the mes
senge of the. Administration, bidding
Iowa Republicans swallow the stand
pat gospel?

women in Libraries.

To TIE EDrToR OF TIE SUN-sr: Speaking Of
women and libraries uunauestionaoly our two most
glorious institutiors). I see no objection to femi-
mines being employed In such places. provided they
conduct themselves In a quiet, businesSlike man
ner. / regret TO observe, however. that In some
OF the public libraries and reading rooms the fair
employees frequently become so absorbed in dis
cussing personal matters among themselves that
they seriously disturb the readers.
| make this protest more In sorrow than anger,
for ! am a great admirer Of women OF culture and
literary tastes. II 10 true that a good many seem
to think that there would be fewer spinsters II there
were fewer OF the fair sex employed in public places,
PROVIDING out the men and rendering them unable
to support wives; but that Is another matter.
Let US have peace and decorlm in the libraries

free from unnecessary. animated loouacity.

All prophecies or apprehensions founded
on the cessation Of the growth Of New York
in wealth, industry, population or resources
have proved fallacious. The city grows
and gets stronger. Its supremacy among
New World cities, never successfully chal-
leneed, was never more widely recognized.
An argument used in opposition to the con-
solicitation Of Brooklyn with New York was
the claim that it would greatly extend the
credit of Brooklyn and put at the financial
service of Queens the credit OF Manhattan,
thus promoting the material development
of these boroughs to the prejudice of the
growth of The Bronx, a part Of New York.
The population Of New York is 1000, 900,
or 1. 500 900 more than at the time Of the
establishment of the Greater New York.
The population Of Manhattan at the time
OF consolidation was 1,+4l ,216. 1t is now
2,1l2, 900, a gain Of $40 200.
The population Of Brooklyn at the time
of consolidation was 83s 900; 1t is now
1858, 900, a gain of $40 900, relatively larger
thar Manhattan's.
The population Of The B~ronx-such is it's
official designation-at the time of CONSOLE
dation was Ss 300; 1t is now 271 900, a gain
Of 1872, 900.
The population Of Queens at the time of
consolidation was 81, 900; it is now les 900,
a gain Of Ill 900.
The population Of Richmond borough at
the time of consolidation with New York
was 81 500; it is now 1000, a gain of 81 400,
or about 40 per cent. Brooklyn and Queens,
the two Long Island %boroughs, have grown
greatly since consolidation, but the highest
ratio Of growth in population has been in
The Bronx, and the greatest increase in
land values In Manhattan.

The Florida agriculturist., 1906-05-02

We also give. in another column, the
idea of New England farmer, which
is that we should give hands steady
employment all the year. There is no
doubt that. if this were possible, it
would go long ways toward solving
the problem. Yet in many cases it is
utterly impossible. For example, just
now the potato growers must have
many extra hands to dig their crop.
Later i'm the season cotton pickers will
be needed, the strawberry growers
must have pickers i'm the season of
their crop. The only ones who can
get along with certain number all
the time are the farmers who grow
varied crops and keep a large quantity
of stock. The introduction of more
modern machinery will do much to
lessen the strain. Flowing, harrow
ing and cultivating with two horse
implements, instead of using one
horse tool, will save one mans time,
and be a great advantage in other
ways. Use improved cultivatOrs that
will do away with hand hOeing
We should be very glad to have our
readers give us their views on this
question.

The Parcels Post.

Again we devote considerable space
to this question. 1t is one that is
very important to the welfare of the
farming communities of this country.
You will see that the members of con-
gresS are very slow to learn what is
needed. In fact the opposition is so
much better organized than those who
favor it that it does not seem probable
that it will win at this session of con-
gress. When the members get home
they ought to hear something that
would open their eyes. Still there is
time to wake up some of them yet,
if you will only write to them a good
strong letter, and let them know that
you expect them to vote for your inter-
eSts, not for those of the express
companies.

Books Received.

we nave just fecelNeu from llit
publishers. the Orange Judd Co, New
York. n. V. two books. Profitable
Dairying a practical guide to sue
cessful dairy management. By c. l.
Peck. This is a cloth bound book OF
200 pages, with "a illustrations, II OF
them full page, mostly portraits OF
fine dairy cattle. Price 75 cents by
mail postpaid. We have been urging
our readers to go into the stock busi
ness, preferably the dairy, where the
conditions are favorable. If you are
now engaged in carrying on a dairy
or if you have any thought of doing
so. you cannot afford to get along
without this book. One valuable fea-
ture of the book is the minute de
scription of the famous dairy farm OF
Rev. ]. ID. DIETRICH, near Philadelphia
This farm, 20 years ago, could not
keep one horse and two cows, it was
brought up to a point that it supported
- dairy cows and two horses, all the
rOughage. litter. bedding etc, for these
animals was grown on these 10 acres
What was done in Pennsylvania, could
be more easily done in this state on
account of our being able to have crops
growing all the year round. You will
find some useful ideas on the subject
of growing food for cows in the ac-
count of what Mr. DIETRICH did.
The book also describes and illus
trates the most modern and desirable
dairy implements.
The other book is, Diseases of
Swine. By DR.. r. A. Craig, professor
of veterinary medicine at Perdue Uni
versity. 1t is also a book of 200 pages,
cloth bound, price rs cents, by mail
postpaid. Hogs are said by farmers,
in this state, to be the most profitable
stock that they can keep. If that is
the case, under the slipshOd methods
so common here, it ought to be much
more so if pure bred swine were kept
and given proper care and attention
The hog is not so subject to disease
as other domestic animals, but when it
is taken sick but little is known as
to methods of treatment. Therefore
this book will be found very useful
The book is divided into four parts,
part l treats of general diseases, part
III Of surgical diseases, part III of in
