Early next morning the body was

DEMAND RETURN OF FINES.

Rockville-Mayor Garrett received
a letter from Leckie, Fulton & Cox,
of Washington, representing num-
Der of Automobiles who were fined
by Mayor Garrett, asking him what
it was proposed to do in regard to

has not yet replied, but states that
in case it is decided to return the
fines there are sufficient funds in the
towns treasury to repay all such
fines.
Mayor Garrett says he has under
consideration a plan of bringing the

MOUNTING by HAND.

Geese have been picked, for their
feathers. for ages. Yet the propo-
sition to pick hens will, at first, seem
cruel. Probably a person could learn
to pick the ripe feathers from a hen
as well as from goose. The idea
came froSn writer in Successful
Farming, and is as follows:
A writer in one of the poultry jour.
uals last year stated that he had tried
mouiting hens by hand, that is, pluck.
ing them as you do ducks and geese.
He stated the process was harmless
to the hens and caused them to get
to laying earlier in the fall than when
nature did the moulting.
This suggestion opens a new field
for thought and experiment. 1t re.
mains for some one to learn just how
to proceed-how to feed previous to
the plucking. and when the work can
best be done.
Instead of having feathers strewn
all over the farm they are saved. In
stead of having the shedding take
four to six weeks of time, the work
IL done all at once, and the new crop
IF feathers start. 1t seems as though

trolley Wires and a Fire.

The head of the. fire department OF
Rouen, France, has suggested to the
Mayor novel project in the fire ex
tinguishing service. Inasmuch as the
city is traversed everywhere by the
electric street car wires it Is sug
gested that there should be provided
pumps. driven by dynamos, to take
current by means of trolley hooks at
tached to the street car wires at the
nearest point to the fire. The ad.
vantages are seen at glance. The
power is unlimited; the motor
strength ON 500-volt circuit could do
anything with stream of water. No
engines would have to be kept going.
and the machinery would be smaller
than the great mass OF metal that has
to be dragged to the scene of q fire.

coNsuLs WORK UP TRADE.

the Government FINDS Foreign MAR
kets for Manufacturers.
There can be no doubt that the
published reports of our Consuls have
constituted an important factor in the
phenomenal development of our for
eign commerce in the last twenty-five
years.
The monthly publication of consul
ar reports was begun in 1880. In
that year the total exports of merch-
andise from the United States to the
world amounted to $s36,OOQ,OO0, while
in the fiscal year 1906 they amounted
to 743,763,612.
But the growth of the export trade
in manufactured goods is even more
significant, says the Atlantic Month
ly. 1t rose in the period mentioned,
from $103,000,000 to $603, 100000, or
an increase of 485 per cent.
The statement is often made, and
freely conceded by leading European
economists, that in respect of practi-
cal value the trade reports made by
American consular officers are unsur-
passed.
After the United States there can
be no doubt that the consular SER
vices of Germany and Great Britain
render the most effective assistance
to their national commerce.
Until very recently our Govern
ment made no attempt to discrimi
nate in favor of American citizens in
the matter of disseminating any class
of trade intelligence, all reports re-
ceived being either published in the
consular reports, OF given to the
press, or filed in the archives for fut-
ure reference.
Less than year ago, however, the
Bureau of Manufactures adopted with
reference to limited class of trade
intelligence a policy somewhat SINH
lar to the German practice. An occa-
sional department of the Daily Con-
sular and Trade Reports was insti-
tuted, entitled Foreign Trade Oppor-
tunities," in which notification Is
given of inquiries on file at the above
mentioned bureau, each bearing a file
number, to which applicants for in
formation are requested to refer.
The majority of these opportunities
relate to foreign calls for tenders and
give names and addresses, but an In
creasing number are treated as con-
fidential. in order to enable the bureau
to promote exclusively American ex-
port trade.
In numerous instances American in
terests have testified to the import
ance of the assistance rendered them
by the consular reports, as well as
through correspondence and personal
efforts. Many important contracts in
foreign countries have been secured,
many valuable markets have been dis
covered, and acquired markets safe
guarded as result of the vigilance
and prompt action of the Consuls.

The arrival in the world of the

Thus in their frigid cline, once in

divest themselves of every stitch OF

that so many families share the tent

WHEN SHEEP ARE BARREN.

Sheep not in lamb may be noticed
near to, or in lambing time by the
following signs:-In fine weather they
will be seen jumping and playing
ab@ut; also when they are called up
at feeding time, it will be noticed
that those not in lamb are the first
to come up, but those in lamb come
up much slower. They are less bulky
in the regiau of the abdomen than
those in lamb. Any dirt about the
tail is often sign of barrenness. An
other test is to turn the eve up and
if she is barren, she will show no
increase in size in the udder and will
have considerable amount of yellow,
waxy excretion on the skin around
the udder; the wool near the udder is
generally of stronger growth and more
firmly attached than that of an In
lamb ewe.-W. R. Gilbert, in the Epito

WORN AWAY BY HANDLING.
Effects of Touch of Thousands Of
Hands on Smithsonian Exhibit.

The touch of thousands of human
hands for more than a score of years
every week day in the year has worn
away a portion of one of the exhibits
of wood at the Smithsonian Institu.
tion. The exhibit in question is
carreta or OK wagon, and stands in
the east wing of the Institution. The
part of the axle that has been worn
away simply by the admiring touch
of thousands of visitors protrudes sew.
eral feet and is easily reached. The
wonderful smoothness of the wood
which has slowly but surely been
worn away is the result.
The old OK wagon is made entirely
of cottonwood, and is without a sin
gle piece of metal. 1t was built by
Pueblo Indians and is the style used
in New Mexico and Arizona. The
design is that introduced in this coun.
try by the Spaniards many years ago.
1t is a clumsy affair, with two wheels
that are far from being round. For
many generations, however, this sort
of cart has answered the purpose OF
transportation for the Pueblo Indians
as we'll as other tribes.
The axle that has been worn away
is directly under the sign giving an
account of the origin and history of
the OK wagon. While reading. nearly
every sightseer rests his hand upon
the wood, perhaps does little knock
ing for good luck, and perchance
picks a splinter. Anyway. the axle
end has been worn away, and today
is as smooth and as shiny as bill.

CANADIAN HORSES CHEAPER

CANADIAN HORSES CHEAPER.
Consul H. d. Van SAINT, in the fol.
lowing report from Kingston, shows
that there is heavy drop in prices
of second grade horses in the Canadian
horse market: The cheaper grade of
horses have seriously deprecated in
value Good horses are in demand
and bring good prices, but second
grade horses are down in price. Horses
that sold for $100 to $125 last spring
are now selling for $50 and $50 each.
The reasons for this decline are the
high price and scarcity of hay this
season and the replenishment of stock
since the Boer war, and the extra de.
mand in the United States, while the
expectation of such second-grade
horses to the United States has dim.
inished from year to year. A horse
dealer in the northern district reports
that the horse market is at a low
ebb. He is a large dealer, his opera
tions extending to Toronto and the
far west. He says: "a month ago
bought a carload of horses and ship
ped them to Toronto. There has been
no sale for them, and for the past
month have been paying for twenty
horses $12 per day for their stabling.
This is losing money pretty fast, and
the price goes down every day. The
prices are worse than cut in half all
around, and the country is flooded
with unstable three and four year

Even with corn at Sc cents per

The value of all food is the same,

Enjoyment and digestion seem to be
pretty well mixed both in man and

A progressive sheep breeder never
breeds from scrub or an inferior

him if he came in coarse bred lit
