Price of Cotton Soon to Be Booste q
 Again by the Combine.

New York. N. Y.-Cotton thread, until short time ago the most stable in price Of all the staples, selling the country over for . cents spool. is to be advanced again, so that the retail price will be 10 cents. On May 29 there was an advance which brought the market price to and cents. Cotton thread for domestic use IS manufactured almost exclusively by the combine. Increased cost of raw material and an advance in wages is the reason given for the contemplated increase in price Independent manu- facturers declare that neither of the reasons is good for when cotton was selling much higher than it is now thread retailed for ,nts.

silaae Good for Horse,

Silage is not generally recommend
ed for extensive use as horse feed,
but nevertheless few pounds of 1t
will often be found beneficial, espe-
cially for the brood mare. The reason
1t has not been recommended more
frequently is because it is bulky and
the horse is meant to live chiefly on
concentrated feed, his digestive tract
being comparatively small, but a
small amount of silage once day
will be of value, if for no other reason
than for the succulence it will add to
the ration.

MILLS OF JAPAN.
They Grind on Day and Night With
No Regard for Sunday.

From United States Consular Reports.
In Japan Sunday is not regarded, and
the mills do not stop for the day. The
majority of the mills have two holi-
days, the LIST and the 18th. In many
mills the engine starts at 6 o'clock the
morning of the End and runs continu-
ously until o'clock the morning OF the
18th, then starts at o'clock the morn
ing of the 10th and runs continuously
until o'clock the morning of the lst
This is as near perpetual motion as
men and machines can stand. NO STOP
is made for dinner, the hands taking
thirty minutes for dinner in rotation
and spare hands taking the place OF
each hand. Each operative works from
6 O'Clock to 6 o'clock, with thirty min
utes for dinner, and the night SHIFT
comes on at o'clock Thirteen to six
teen twelvehour days on stretch
necessarily makes the hands slower
and less efficient. Though they do not
observe the Lords rest day, good
number of mills have by experience
come TO see the material good that
comes from having one day in seven
for rest, and one OF the largest groups
of mills observes the 4th, 11th 18th and
18th of each month, but do not, as is
customary with us, allow third or hair
of the previous day for rest also. These
four rest days are utilized by the man
agement to overhaul and clean machin-
cry. check zip results, instruct green
hands in regard to their duties, etc.
The national holidays, of which there
are about ten, are observed by the
mills, so that even in the mills making
practice of stopping only two days
for rest the holidays effect stop OF
one or two more days month.
The hours of work and the number
of rest days vary with the locality and
the mill Each mill has its own sys-
tenn, and though they work together In
some respects, through the Japanese
Cotton Spinners' association, in pub
fishing comparative reports, etc, they
are very jealous of each other and keep
the details of their business, methods
of operation, etc, secret from other
mills. This instructive secrecy, as
shown in other industrial lines, such as
machine shops, shipbuilding, etc. has
made the Office of consulting engineer
in Japan very lucrative one, as new
projects can copy from old, but have

to me, a mere casual, wandering
journalist-his version of the case and
why he had been compelled to act AS
he had acted. There was budget of
