Testing the Militia.

Al 40 EA
The summer army maneuvers put
the efficiency of the militia Of the
states to test. and that feature alone
justiies the expense involved in these
maneuvers. Although subjected to
government regulation and systematic
ally inspected by regular army Off
GERS. the militia of the states is often
declared to be below the standard Of
efficiency desired even in an emergen-
cy force. The idea upon which the
government proceeds in looking after
the militia is not for a large establish
ment, but for a highly efficient one so
far as it goes. ,47gsF
1t is generally conceded that the
militia is not maintained for war pur-
poses. not even to suppress revolution,
but for local emergencies, as when
the peace of a city or district is dis
turbed. Emergencies Of the kind
when they come are grave. and II the
troops available consist only Of a
regiment Of infantry or a battery Of
artillery or a squadron of cavalry it
won't do to have any miss fire in the
proceedings. When the army falls
down the disorderly element is in
glee. A mere disturbance becomes a
grave riot. Under federal officers the
young men Of the militia soon learn
that soldering is not junkering nor
the national guard a sort Of social
club. This lesson is much needed.

Insurance Under the new Laws.

Insurance Under n new Laws.
Practically ever since the new insur.
ance laws were placed on the New
York statute books as a result Of the
sweeping exposures of 1905 the insur-
ance interests hav q BEEN seeking to have
them modified or repealed. The laws
were designed to protect policy holders
and the public interest generally by
correcting the abuses Of reckless
finance. The powerful New York COM
panies did not like them and often
complained at Albany that they were
too restrictive. Finally Governor
Hughes ordered an investigation into
the results of the application of these
laws.
The report of the investigation re-
Gently made public does not support
the contention of the companies as to
the cause of the falling off in business
noted at New York headquarters. The
companies allege that the falling off
may be traced to the stringent laws,
but the investigators hold that it is
primarily due to the disclosures Of
1905. 1t is Shown that the new laws
effected a reduction of nearly $1O,-
100000 in general expenses Of the
companies in 1908 and that the pros
pect Of increasing economy and in
creasing returns to policy holders must
have a beneficial effect upon the bust
ness and enable the large companies
to recover from the disaster of 1905
without important modification Of the
present laws.

ed a great deal more than 1t Ii Ia the
pure bred poultry business. Better
results could be had II the farmers
in a given locality would all keep one
breed Of poultry. If they would unite
on some good. popular. easy selling
breeds they would find buyers. muct
more easily than where each maj
keeps a different kind Of stock.
With dairy cattle this plan has work.
ed wonderfully we'll for certain groups
of farmers in various parts oft the
country. In Wisconsin there is q dairy
center where almost everybody keeps
Guernseys. In New York state there
is a region where dozens Of farmers
keep Holsteins. In northern New
Jersey there is another Guernsey cen.
ter. and in various parts Of the coun.
try there are Jersey and Ayrshire
dairy centers. In all these localities
there are hundreds Of pure bred ami
mails which a be seen in a few
hours. Such a condition becomes
known all over the country. and buy
ers travel hundreds Of miles, know
ing that If they do not find just what
they want at the first farm they are
likely to find it farther on in the same
neighborhood.
In southern Rhode Island breeders
in an accidental way kept a native
class Of fowls which later were known
as Rhode Island Reds. When this
breed began to attract notice the re.
gion was visited by scores of buyers
who picked up every decent colored
bird at a fancy price, putting thousands
of dollars into the hands of the farm
ers that they never could have had ex-
pected for the demand at more than
market prices.
If fifty farmers in a neighborhood
would unite on almost any poultry
breed there would be no difficulty
in finding a market. A great many
breeders with a reputation and a
host Of regular customers would be
glad to know of a locality where they
could buy what extra stock they need
to fill their orders. The farmers
could easily sell the stock themselves
to one of their number or through
one Of the New York or Boston con.
Germs which make a specially OF
pure bred stock in large quantities
1t is not a very difficult matter for
the farmer to learn to sell his stock
on his own account. Fancy birds will
almost sell themselves.

The Wicked Potato Bug.

The potato bug is probably the great
est obstacle to the raising Of potatoes.
but Notwithstanding the deadly work
Of this pest it is easily controlled If
resort is made to arsenical poisons. A
good method is to hand pick these
bugs. but it is a tedious task. The
most popular course is to use paris
green either as dust or as part of a
liquid solution. If the bugs are taken
as soon as they appear it will seldom
be necessary to treat the entire field.
The bugs, being killed on the part OF
the field where they appear, will have
no opportunity to extend their labors
to other parts. A recommended treat
ment is n pound Of pure paris green
to $50 gallons Of water. When dust is
used one pound Of the paris green may
be mixed with fifty pounds Of air
slaked lime and the resulting powder
applied by being sifted over the plants
with some kind Of box in which are
small holes. A good sized pepper box
Is found ~serviceable. In such q case 1t
is better to apply the dust while the
dew is on the vines.

The Dickens Pension Fund.

A recent act Of parliament bestows
a small pension upon four grand
daughters Of Charles Dickens, the
novelist. As w have no civil pension
list, the incident meets with unfavor-
able criticism on this side Of the wa
ter. especially in view of the fact that
Dickens earned a fortune by his pen.
But this pension establishes nc doubt
full precedent. Literary pensions are
common in Europe. Dickens himself
would have been allowed a sum equal
to II not greater than that bestowed
On his descendants had he come to
need.
Dickens was literally rewarded by
his admirers in both continents while
he lived. The output Of his pen print
ed in America Of course yielded no
copyright returns. But he read from
his works here with a profit Of $780,
600. so that the royalty count was
about square. Certain French au-
thors are asking that literary copy
right be perpetual and 60 with the
authors estate. Such a law would
have saved the granddaughter Of
Dickens from poverty. In the alb
sence of it It would be a graceful
thing for publishing houses which
have made money on Dickens works
to refund a small part Of their gains
to the family. Admirers Of Dickens
might be glad to swell this fund by
small contributions. The government
pension is only $40 per month for each
beneficiary.

FARMERS UNION A FACT.

Million and . Halt Members Work To-
gethsr TO Control Pricss Of Products.
The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America now has a
membership Of 100000 in the twenty
four states where 1t is organized. One
Of the objects of the union is to rush
the construction Of elevators in time
for the handling of the wheat crop Of
1909 when 1t is thrashed. The organi-
cation Is the outcome of a project sug-
gested by a Texas schoolteacher.
All the southern states have. union
organizations, as have Missouri, ILL
nois, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and
Washington. Two great crops. cotton
and wheat, have received the attention
Of the union up to date. But this will
not be the limit of the organizations
activity in the future, the members
assert.
It is the object Of the union to make
standard" prices for everything raised
on American farms, from a bale Of
cotton to a dozen eggs. AS yet, how
ever. there has been no scale Of prices
fixed to cover the whole list. That is
a matter to be worked out by each
state organization. There is a mini
mum and maximum price for wheat,
the SO called flair" or standard
price for that grain being a dollar a
bushel.
1t is the purpose of the union to have
elevators to store grain in, to be
sold at such time and for such prices
as the local may think best, provided
that none be sold below the minimum
price and that none be held for more
than the maximum price. All sales are
conducted through the business agents,
the union being at work to eliminate
the middleman.
This is attempted by having the
business agent deal directly with con
sumers, so each business agent has a
list of mills and grain buyers who
want the actual grain for manufacture
ing or feeding purposes, and he keeps
in touch with them by correspondence.
Each local has a business agent, and
there is one for each state and a ma
tional business agent.
A farmer who needs cash after put
ting his wheat in a union elevator is
tided over his flight place" by brother
members of the union who are better
fixed than he. The same sort Of sys-
ten is in operation in the southern
states, where cotton instead of wheat
is the great staple crop. The elevators
and cotton warehouses are stock con-
Germs, the par value Of each share Of
stock being fixed by the local which
erccts the elevator. but the fact that a
member holds stock in the unions en-
terprise does not give him any more
extensive privileges in the organiza-
ton or in the handling of his grain.
+ The association is affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
Though it is not a real branch Of that
organization, there exists between the
two what is known as a fraternal un-
Outstanding.
The union operates several banks.
The charter of the national union was
issued by Texas. giving it authority to
charter branches anywhere and EN-
gage in any business practically. A
few union cooperative stores are in
existence. Country girls more than
sixteen years old and farmers wives
are admitted to honorary membership.
The locals meet twice a month. and
the social features are by no means
the least important in the union.
