OF many years.

national government. and DR. A. $. Knapp was
employed by the board 20 take charge Of It's
work
DR.. Knapp at once began by organizing a
competent force to carry on the work. He es-
tablshed agents in each state and divided these
agents into three classes: First. state agents:
second. district agents and. third, local agents
The state and district agents are men of excel
lent agricultural education. with sufficient prac-
tcaI experience To tit them for full charge of the
work. The local agents selected from the
BEST farmers thar can be found in the diff
ferent counties in which demonstration work is
to be done. Three schools of instruction for
the local agents are held In each state each
year.
II Is DR. knapp's purpose to reduce the num-
Der OF district agents In each state gradually
until each shall have ten to fifteen local agents
under him In 1908 there were in all 156 agents
employed seventy-One of whom were in the
employ Of the government. In the preceding
year there were only thirty six agents all told
employed For the present year the General
Education Board has appropriated 100000 for
this work. and will employ two hundred agents
THE VARIOUS REPORTS REQUIRED.
Besides the special reports required. each
agent must send in two weekly reports The
first is an itinerary report. showing where he
mas travelled ana the character OF work he has
done. and what he expects to do during the
following week. The second is field report
giving a statement OF the demonstration farms
he has visited and their condition. miles trav-
elled. weather conditions. meetings held. and
such other interesting points In regard 20 his
work as he may see fit to incorporate. These
reports are sent from the local agent through
the district and state agents. so as to keap the
latter wen posted.
The best testimonial for the good the work Is
doing is perhaps the number of demands for il
sent In by individual farmers. merchants and as
sociations of business men. These demands have
been so numerous that IL has been found impos-
sibie to comply with all of them. and the didl-
Guilty has been to decide each day where the
next days work should be DONE
Not only is this demonstration work proving
of great financial value to farmers and OF aid TO

Extra Train Crews
 For Freight Traffic

The rush of the freight traffic on the New Haven road continues un- abated. Last night considerable number of extra freight crews with engines were dispatched from New Haven to the Harlem River junction of the road with the west. to haul freight this way in the hope of clear ing the tracks there far enough to al- low trackage for the influx of new cars from the west which is steadily pouring in in a manner which aston ishes even the old railroad men.
 These engines will carry these trains to Hartford, and to Midway-east of New London-returning with other trains bound for Harlem River. Freights are very heavy in all direc- tions.
 There are no signs of a let-up in this increased traffic and this is one of the reasons why the New Haven has placed an order for the production of few hundred new box cars. to be completed as quickly as possible

STOCK EXCHANGE
WARS ON RIVAL
Consolidated Exchange Is Hit by
Order Forbidding Transactions
Between Members.

NEW YORK. May 20.-The New
York Stock Exchange declared war
On It's little brother, the Consolidated
Exchange today and the result Is like
~ TO be disastrous 10 the latter or
sanization. There has been friction
between the two exchanges for some
time, and IL has been asserted that
certain OF the houses that lad connec-
tons on the big exchange have utilized
concerns affiliated with the CONSOLIDATE
I'd for their own purposes especially In
the eucketing ot orders by those who
carried on a bucket shop business In
disguise.
The governing committee or the
stock exchange today adopted resolu-
tons which forbid members OF thai
exchange entering into any business
transaction, either directly or indi-
rectly. with the members OF the Con
solidated Exchange. The governing
committee also adopted resolution
referring back TO the special commit
tee the consideration OF the question
whether OF not members OF the stock
exchange shall be prohibited after
Dec. 81. 1909, from dealing directly or
Indirectly with the curb market. the
special committee Is expected TO act
on this proposition favorably within a
short time.
This action was unexpected. The
consolidated exchange members did
not believe that II would be possible
for the board OF governors to pass any
resolution barring them out. One ru-

raw FURS---PROFITS FOR
COUNTRY BOYS.

This is the time of the year when
the average country boy not only gets
a great amount of sport and pleasure
out Of fur trapping, but considerable
profit and pocket money. Raw Furs
in recent years have brought remark
ably good prices. Fashion has or.
dained that every lady must wear
furs, consequently the demand has in
creased. Prices of furs are higher
than they were last season. M. Sabel
& Sons, Louisville, KY, make a spe-
cialty of Raw Furs, and visit to
their fur rooms is an interesting sight,
for here can be found furs from every
section of the United States. They re-
ceive shipments from all over the
country in answer to their weekly
price list. which they issue every Fri
day. This price list is furnished the
