appearance not being noticed for
some time afterwards. Efforts were
made to locate the body but without
avail and orders were given to all

He was seen by member of the

the remains. for the little fellow had
evidently been killed by the fall

The Fight on Free Hides

The country has large interest in
the report that the leather men and
the shoe manufacturers will go in
to the packing business if the pack
ers induce Congress to keep the duty
on hides. The duty, which is Is per
cent, was removed in the Payne bill
as it passed the House. In the fin
ance committees reshaping of the
bill before it was presented to the
senate the duty was replaced.
Around this particular provision of
the bill some hard fights will be
waged in the senate and in the con-
ference committee.
Contrary to the general belief, the
hide duty benefits the meat packers
solely. 1t adds nothing of any con-
sequence to the price which the cat
tie raisers receive from the packers.
Many of the sole leather concerns of
the. country are controlled by the
packers, or connected with them by
tanning contracts. But the United
States Leather company, which is
the largest sole leather tanning con-
Germ in the world, is not only not
affiliated with the packers in any
way, but is fighting them onthis
question of duty and other things.
Its capital is $25,0OO,OO0, and pro-
duces about SO per cent of the dry
hemlock sole leather of the conntr:.
The report, therefore, tina. this big
aggregation of capitalists will go into
the packing business itself unless it
gets free hides, as the Payne bill Or
iginally provided, will a.tracs &c
country's attention. Aiding it, accord
ing to rumor, will be many Of the
most prominent shoe manufacturers
of the country. These two big inter
es:s can make hard fight On their
side are large majority Of the peo-

lay most when other peoples hens are

process. He has manufactured for
his own use half-dozen automatic

it looks something like the old ash
hoppers your mother used when we

ways just enough for the chickens to
eat and none to waste. There is a
different kind of feed in each of the
hoppers and the chickens get avarie-
ty and mix it to suit thmselves. One
old rooster watches the hoppers and
whenever one of them gets empty he
flies up on top and crows three times.
Then Mr.. Malernee goes out and fills
the hopper. One hopper is filled with
corn, one with chops, one with grits.
one with charcoal and so on until
there are six kinds of food always
ready to suit the taste.
