SHELTER HOMES
FILLING UP FOR
WINTER
DISTRESS AMONG POOR as GREAT
AS LAST YEAR. DESPITE Glow
ING STORIES OF IMPROVED IN
ousTRlAL CONDITIONS.

The annual flood-tide Is on In the
missions and shelter homes OF the
city. Although conditions industrialIy
have improved somewhat for skilled
laborers over the conditions OF year
ago. there is still big ingress Of I'M
skilled laborers In the McGregor mis-.
sion, Salvation Army and Aliens mis-
sion.
I'VE find that more OF the people
who come to us are natives than for
merly." says Capt. Benson, In the Sal
walton Army citadel. The numbers are
about the same as last year, but more
OF the men that are with us are De-
troit laborers out of work. OF those
that come from outside. a great share
are men who have been working dur
ing the summer and fall on farms and
are now coming back to the city for
the winter.
There are undoubtedly q great
many unskilled laborers out OF work.
and We are doing the best we can to
provide for them"
In the McGregor mis- ion, the slack
season on the lakes is blamed for
much Of the distress.
I'VE have a great number of sail
ors." says Capt. Venn, OF the McGre-
gor mission. These men have had
little work during the season past and
have less money than usual to carry
them through the winter. We also
have a great many men here who live
In Detroit all the time and do odd jobs
for living. The number OF men here
II about the same as II was year
ago, and do not look for any better
ment In conditions before the flrst Of
the year"
In the Will Allen mission the re-
port is that the number Of men COM
ing In Is about the same as q year
ego, but that considerable success 10
had In finding work. although not all
can be provided with jobs.

includes Dash. the high diving dog.
He climbs to the top OF 50-foot lad

then dives into net. This Is the
highest dive ever attempted by any

dog TO climb up this ladder. TO say
nothing OF diving on after he reaches
the top. The act is well worth see

to know the effects of special foods on
his customers Cleveland grocer has
long list of customers that have been
helped in health by leaving off coffee
and using Postum Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expert
ence Two years ago had been drink
ing coffee and must say that was al
most wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning was so
irritable and upset that l could hardly
wait until the coffee was served, and
then had no appetite for breakfast
and did not feel like attending to my
store duties.
Zone day my wife suggested that in
asmuch as | was selling so much
Postum there must be some merit in ii
and suggested that we try it. l took
home package and she prepared II
according to directions. The result was
very happy one. My nervousness
gradually disappeared and to-day am
all right. l would advise everyone
affected in any way with nervousness
or stomach troubles, TO leave off coffee
and use Postum Food Coffee" There's

USING THE MANURE.

II has been absolutely proven that
ton of manure is worth at least IS. 1t
has also been conclusively proven that
more than one-half of this value may
be lost If the manure is left out in
the barnyard four to six months.
Therefore, every load of manure that is
left in the barnyard four to six months
is a dead loss of $3.50. There was a
time when the farmer thought 1t was
necessary to have the manure rotted
before hauling il. This is the greatest
mistake that the farmer ever made.
Manure should be hauled out as fast
as II is made, or at least once a week.
Top dressing is coming into use very
rapidly. II has always been thought
that il was well to top dress meadows,
and this has been done for years with
good results. There has always been
more or less of "A question as to the
adVisability of top dressing corn. There
has been theory that II the corn was
top dressed the corn roots would come
TO the surface to feed on this manure,
and from a theoretical standpoint II
looks as If this were true, but in actual
experience ii does not work out in this
way. A series Of tests have been made
by hundreds of farmers in Iowa, Min
nesota, the Dakotas, Kansas and Ne
braska which show that a greater yield
Of from ten to fifteen bushels per acre
are gained by top dressing. Therefore
theory must give way TO actual expert
enrp.

LIVE STOCK VALUES.

Chicago Live Stock World: The gen
eral prosperity in the West is due in
great mea sure to the raising of live
stock. StoCkmen We're hit pretty hard
late in 1907. and the gamblers of Wall
street have been blamed for the slump.
1t seems difficult to account for the
drop i'm prices in any other way, be-
cause the demand for food products
was at the time. and has been since,
greater than ever before in the history
of the country. An article in the Sat
urday Evening Post has the following:
Those sclf-styled centers of the
grain trade the pits. may fuss and
fume and ferment: but the prairies are
raising real grain, and selling ii for real
money, at prices fixed. not by the spec"
ulative furore of a feVerish hour. but
~ world conditions. Crop yields, OF
course, vary from season to season, and
prices rise and fall; but did you ever
hear of farming community shutting
down or running on half time, or suffer-
ing from a panicky failure of conf
dence,' just because state or nation
happened to swap ends on question
of political eXpediency, or such like?
You never did. You never will. Once
a farming district is brought to the
point of profitable production, it goes
on producing, full time and capacity
and selling what 1t produces. Nor does
one hear it said of this. as of some other
Industries, that II contrives to juggle
its markets by selling its wheat or corn
abroad at lower prices than those rul-
ing at home, on the plea that IL must
get rid of a menacing surplus. Maybe
that practice is good business; but I'll
leave it to the crowd to say whether
the country's foreign grain trade isn't
in a healthier state than its trade in
steel or agricultural implements. And
doesn't real prosperity consist in
healthy. normal trade conditions, rather
than in the morbid. over-stimulated
conditions of manipulated markets ?
The West thinks so.
