INDUSTRIES MORE ACTIVE.
Less Idle Machinery, More Goods Sold
 and Higher PayrolIs.

New York, June 6.-Improvement continues in commercial channels, in creased manufacturing activity and reasonable weather being the dominant influences of the past week. says K. G. Dunn X Co.'S review of trade. In all leading industries there is less idle machinery, and staple lines of mer- chandise at retail quickly respond to the larger payrolls. Summer goods sold more freely as the temperature rose, and retail trade has had the fur ther stimulus of many bargain sales to reduce stocks. Mercantile collections are also more prompt. and confidence grows stronger as the crops advance toward maturity with no more serious handicap than excessive moisture in some sections. While the first week fin June compares fayorably with any previous week this year, there still ap- pears a large decrease in comparison with the volume of business in the same week of 1907. Railroad earnings in May were 2l.6 per cent less than last year, and liabilities or commercial failures s3.6TT,9T1 larger. but the de- faulted indebtedness was much smaller than in any previous month this year.
 Foreign commerce at this port alone for the latest week showed a gain of S5.674.302 in exports and a loss of S529207 in imports as compared with the movements a year ago. Securities advanced sharply early in the week. but most of the gain was subsequently, lost, although money continued easy and the outgo of gold was checked. Bank exchanges at New York for i've days were 17.5 per cent less than in the full week last year. while at other leading cities the decrease amounted to 25.s per cent.

WASTE ON THE FARM.
How Enormous Savings Could Re
 Made With q Little Care.

From authoritative reports by gov. ernment officials it appears that some 2,6S7,021 cattle lie in the United States annually from disease and eXposure-most of them from neglect. From the same source it is also ascertained that the loss of sheep from the same causes is as great.
 These figures only serve to show what a wasteful people we are. One of the excuses the beef trust makes for high prices of provisions is the enormous death rate of live stock on the range and on the farm, most of it due to pure trifiingness of the herdsmen and the grazier. Indeeds the losses by neglect and exposure greatly exceed the losses by disease.
 It would be impossible to estimate the waste of farm products after they mature in the field, but it is enormous, some of it due to scarcity of labor, but most of it tfaceable to thriftless husbandry, or, in plain speech, downright lazinass One source of waste is imperfect cultiva- tion, for millions of farmers persist in half cultivation of large areas when they would make more by proper tillage of fewer acres Then there is immense waste ill the dis regard of intelligent rotation of crops. This is the worst sort of waste, for it means devastation of soils that require years of provident tillage to replace All over the east are abandoned farms that would to- day be gardens if they had been given intelligent cultivation. That farmer is not fit for his vocation who does not increase the fertility of his soil every year he cultivates 1t.
 Under the new system of dry farming" invented by MT Campbell, somewhere out west, droughts have been robbed of most of the.r terrors, and if forests that were wantonly de- stroyed were restored and conserved, the frightful wastes occas'oned by floods. amounting to $100,000, 900 annually in the Ohio valley alone. would be avoided.
 This is a magnificent country of ours, but we have used 1t like the prodigal who dissipates his patri- mony in riotous and ruinous living.
 The vast wealth we have accumu- lated was acquired by reason of the many advantages we enjoy, one of the principal being the cheap food produced on the farm. Unless there is less waste that cardinal source of prosperity will soon be thing of the mast

MORE VOTES FOR TAFT
Alabama and Arkansas Contests
 Decided In His Favor.
HE WILL BE NAMED FIRST.
Calling of Roll of States In Alpha beticaI Order Will Mean Advantage to Secretary = Dispute Over His Manager Settled.

Chicago, June 6. - The Taft band wagon rolled over the allies when the Republican national committee decided the contests from Alabama and Arkan- sas, involving twenty-four seats in the national convention, in favor of the delegates instructed for SecretaryeTaft.
 The Taft forces won the victory in sweeping style. A viva voce vote was so decisive that d roll call was unnec- essary and was not even asked for by the anti-Tafters.
 The seating of the Taft delegates from Alabama was deemed of tha greatest importance not only because of the twenty-two votes it means for Taft, but also because of the moral effect on the convention of having the first state on the roll call in favor of the secretary of war.
 The loss of Alabama to the allies is of great importance not only for the reason that it would have given the allies the moral effect of an initial nomination in opposition to Taft, but for the weishtier reason that the Ala bama contest was regarded as the strongest legally of all the contests which the national committee is to decide.
 Other States Next.
 In losing Alabama the allies have, it Is declared, abandoned all hope of sue cess in the other contests. The com mittee will next decide contests from Florida, Georgia and Kentucky, the total number of seats affected being thirty-four.
 The proceedings would have been devoid of interest had it not been for an effort to prevent Frank H. Hitch cock, the Taft manager. and Arthur F. Statter, former assistant secretary of the treasury. and Charles c. Phelps of Washington, both assistants, to Mir. Hitchcock, from sitting in judgment on the contests. These men held proxies of the members of the national con- mittee from New Mexico. Alaska and North Dakota respectively. Their en- trance into the executive session of the national committee provoked Joseph B. Healing. United States attorney for the district of Indiana. manager for Vice President Fairbanks, and Repre- sentative James Francis Burke of Pennsylvania. who acts in a similar capacity for Senator Knox. to make vehement protests from the outside.
 After debating the question the pro- test was laid on the table.
