TRUSTS IN GERMANY.

industrial syndication is more COM
plete and more effective in the coal,
iron n steel trades of Germany than
In any group of industries in any
other country-not even excepting
America, the home of huge trusts and
prodigious things in general. The pro-
duction, distribution and price of prac-
tically every important article and ma
terial of manufacture in Germany,
from "a and iron ore to sewing ma
chimes and wire. are regulated by some
kind of syndicate. Ten years ago there
were about ninety syndicates in the
German coal n iron trades. Owing
to absorption consequent upon i'm
proved organization there are now
about half that number, There are
separate syndicates governing coal,
coke, ~briquettes, Ignite and iron ore;
pig iron, iron and steel castings and
foundry products; tubes, rails, girders
and rods; plates, light sheets and
heavy sheets; here are unions of cleo
'trical works, of sewing machine maxi
ers and of nail manufacturers. Besides
syndicates for various products thera
are in some cases distinct sy~ndicates
where local conditions are of a special
character. But these local, special or
sectional syndicates are usually united
with kindred trade s~yndicates, or work
in harmony with another. For ex-
ample. while there are four distinct
pig-iron syndicates, enjoying local au-
tonomy, there is a Consolidated Pig
iron Syndicate controlling the local or
CARNATIONS. Then, in all but supreme
authority, there is the famous Stahl-
werksverband. or Steel Syndicate,
which has recently been renewed for a
term of five years.
These German syndicates are highly
organized (but not on the American
model and. generally speaking, eff
ficiently conducted. AS evidence of the
line of policy they usually adopt it
may be mentioned that at a recent
meeting of the Stahlwerksverband,
when a member proposed a substantial
increase in price in consideration of
great pressure of orders, a counter
resolution was carried by a large ma
jority to the following effect:
''That moderate prices are the best
guarantee of a continuance of purchas-
ers, and that the mission of a trade
syndicate is ikst as much. to prevent
an exaggeraVon of prices during times
of activity as to support the courage of
manufacturers during times of inaetiv-
ity." Indeed, the directors of the Steel
Syndicate have declared their policy
to be 'the preservation of the home
markets from violent fluctuations by
providing constant work at moderate
prof1ts."--T. Good in The Engineering
Magazine.

THE Fac TREE noRER.

The insect tina deposits the eggs which
hatch the peach borers is a wasp-like IN
sect, with transparent wings and a rich
ly ornamented b@ly. Banded and striped
with gold. which deposits its eggs about
the base of the trunk. The eggs hatch
out he larvae. bore into the sap wood and
cause an emulation of Summy matter.
which appears in masses about the base
of the Nee. The larvae seems partly to
live IN this gummy substance and partly
in tho sap wood Of the tree. Sometimes
three or four r found on the same tree,
occasionally girding and destroying It,
bur always inducing more or less Of a dis
eased condition and impairing its vigor.
Altogether, It is a very Objectionable and
destructive insect. and the eggs are de-
posted both b b tall and spring.

ANIMAL CAPACITY
TESTING ABILITY OF THE
FARM STOCK.
Good Time of Year to DO It When the
Harvest Days Are Over and
Winter Is Near.

The capacity Of an animal for the per.
formance of labor or travel is seldom cor.
rectiy known by its owner because tbs
conditions under which the animal IL
tested are seldom favorable to its best posi-
.sible performance. The animal may have
been able to do far more without having
been given an opportunity for so doing,
and thus its real capacity is underrated
The farmer should not condemn his ami.
mails until he has faithfully endeavored to
give them the full opportunities required
to demonstrate their ability, and when he
has performed his part he will know theiI
real value and that his profits will be ac.N
cording to the quality of the stock, as he
can retain only such as have proved them
selves worthy of his confidence, while the
inferior class can be gradually improved
and the profits increased.
In order to know each animal 1t should
be closely observed and tested, not only at
certain seasons, but at periods vangins
over the whole year, in order to thoroughly
understand all the conditions. The feed
itself may be tested, as 1t differs in quality
at different times. A crop of hay of one
year may be of different substance from
that Of another kind, and hence the result
obtained during certain periods will not
always enlighten the farmer as to his
proper curse at another time, but such
TESTS VIII IudtSrldly assist MIN TO AVOID
mistakes previously made, and also teach
him where to economic and when to be
liberal and generous to his stock.
Every animal on the farm should be
tested, whether cattle, sheep. swine OF
horses. The ordinary COW should nave her
merits known to the dairyman, and be
should familiarize himself with her qualih-
cations, not only as a mixer, but as to the
kind and quality Of food best adapted for
her purposes and the most profitable. A
COW may only give twenty pounds of milk
a day and yet be an excellent animal, If,
she can produce that amount at a low cost,
while another COW in the same herd may
yield thirty pounds a day, and yet prove
Improbable compared with the other. The
eve should give twin lambs, but it is more
important that she should give them suf-
ficient nourishment as well as yielding for
herself a fair average of wool. The more
may be serviceable for all kinds of work.
and yet be unproductive as a breeder, the
roadster ma be speedy and yet wear
himself out with ~fretting. while the sow,
though bringing forth large filters Of pigs.
may be unsuccessful with them as a
nurse. AS to the males for breeding pur-
poses, the quality Of their get is important,
and they must also give a profit for them
selves as individuals.

FIGHT FOR CONTROL ON.
Lake Superior Corporation Election in
Jersey City Next Week to Decide.

NEW YORK. Nov. IA fight for con-
troll of the Lake Superior Corporation, a
$40. 000, 900 company, built up after the
uinous collapse OF the Consolidated Lake
Superior Company liz 1903, is manifested by
a busy gathering of stockholders proxies.
The adjourned annual meeting of the
board of directors is to be held In Jersey
City next Thursday. Strong Philadelphia
interests represented by ]. Tatnall Lea
and Franci B. Reeves, president of the
Girard National Bank of that city, are
said to be at work to GUST Charles Z.
Orvis and Francis H. Clergue, both OF
New York. who have been on the board
since the reorganization.
The effor. Of the Philadelphia interests
to overthrow the New York interests dates
from Just before the last meeting of the
directors. The meeting broke up in dis
order. Dissatisfaction with the present
management Of the company is understood
to be the reason for the opposition. Sew
eral of the plants Of the company are in
the Sault Ste. Marie region.

STATE BALANCE LESS.
Railroads. Withholding of Tax Pending
Litigation the Cause.

TRENTON, Nov. lat the close Of
business for the fiscal year the State
Of New Jersey has a cash balance in
the treasury amounting to 81, 800, OBS. A.
Last year the balance was $2,0S4, sol 80.
The difference in the balance is ex-
planned in a letter directed to Governor
Stokes by Comptroller j. Willard Nor
gan. IN which he shows hat the rail-
roads have not as yet paid some $780,
900 of the State tax. Payments have
not been made by the railroads be-
cause they are hoping to upset the
law, which has forced them to pay a
larger taA under the Perkins law than
they have ever been compelled to pay
in the past for railroad property.
rhe following is a copy of the letter
forwarded to Governor Stokes ~
Comptroller Morgan:
The close Of the State's fiscal year
shows a cash balance of 81, 320, 0SS. "A.
That this balance is less than that of
last year Is due to the failure of the
railroad companies to pay some $500, 900
of the State tax, pending litigation, and
the response to the necessity of in
creased accommodations in our humans
tartan and charitable institutions, our
reformatories and penal institutions.

AND NOTES
FOR INVESTORS.

In the Northwest business is menaced
by a car shortage which promises to
eclipse that OF last year, Notwithstanding
the fact that the railroads in that section
AVE increased their facilities for the
handling of traffic. The railroads lost a
considerable amount of money last winter
because of lack of cars, and If the car
shortage oongests business this winter 1t
will decrease the railroad earnings con-
siderably,
Henry Clews, in an address last night
before the Economic Club of New Haven,
spoke on the subject, rs the Policy OF
President Roosevelt Toward Capital
Sound?" Mr.. Clews took a view of the
question different from that supposed to
be commonly held in Wall Street. He
said that the President is not responsible
for what occurs in Wall street.

BIG VERDICT AGAINST
LATE WABASH PRESIDENT,
Joseph Ramsey, Jr., to Pay Debt of
Jones, Who Also Sued George Gould
and William Guy.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA verdict Of
s5S9.00o against Joseph Ramsey, jr,
former president of the Wabash Rail-
road. in a suit brought by John s.
Jones'. a fnancier and coal land opera
tor, was handed down today in the
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Jones sued George j. Gould.
william tE. Guy and Mr.. Ramsey as
individuals, to- ecove 100000, which
he alleged to be due him from the
three defendants for securing for them
$4,000 acres of coal lands In southern
Ohio. A part of the money sued for,
according to Mr.. Jones. represented
sums advanced by him in payment for
the land and the rest included his com
missions, expenses and interest.
Justice Golf held that Mr.. Gould and
Mr.. Guy were not liable, and the YER

CHINA FEARS JAPAN.
Latter's Postal Aggressions Cited as An
other Instance of Hostile Designs.

PEKIN, Nov. Japan today began en-
trusting the transportation of the jap
anese-Pekin mails to the care of the
Chinese posts, which is an outcome of
China's coercive action in refusing Japan
the use of the imperial railways for her
mail couriers.
China's action was induced by Japan's
postal aggressions. her Independent post
office service in China having been trebled
in two years, and also to Frances at
tempted reestabllshment Of couriers from
Yunnan, where the Indo-China post has
been operated since 1901. 1t is yet I'M
certain IL France will withdraw her Indo-
China post couriers. who have been
operating since a fortnight ago.
The Chinese are sincerely alarmed at the
undertaking, correlated aggressions of
Japan and her allies, and many Chinese
are forming a distinct idea that Japan Is
China's prime menace.
