Rapids, Flint and Lansing alone.
But to gain thirteenth congressman
we would have to show an increased
population since l9o: of 100000. This
may have occurred; but it is doubted.
But even though the total representa-
ton does remain the same, one glance
at the population table printed above
will prove that the congressional lines
within the state are to be re-drBwn.
The First district-Detroit- grown
tremendously. The Twelfth district
now embracing the upper peninsula
has long been two large. In both of
these cases, the district lines will be
drawn smaller. The Fifth district
stands good shows of remaining as it
is at present, although one county
either Ionia or Ottawa, might be dropped
from Kent. The Third, Fourth. Eighth
and Ninth district are the ones that are
going to snffer most when the realign-
ment comes next winter. If we get
another congr essman and another
district, it will probably be carved out
down Detroit-way.

Thus, it appears that six years ago,
Michigan had at least three districts
that would exceed in population even
the new proposed basis of 225,000. But
it also appears that there we're several
districts which we're much undersize.
Under the census of 1904 with a as, 900
apportionment basis, Michigan would
be edtitled to but ii representatives,
instead of IL, as at present. With this
basis of apportionment Michigan would
have to show a gain in population of
17O. 900 since 1904, in order to retain its

Chickens are about the only kind Of
live stock that can safely be allowed

no question whatever that they render
very important service in the de-
struction of a great variety Of insects,

husky half grown chicks which have

Aside from the fact that water
sprouts which grow up from the lower
part of the trunk and from under
ground give the orchard a most sloven-
ly and unkempt appearance, there is
a still stronger reason for their remov-
al from the fact that if they are visit
ed with the pear blight, an easily
transmissible and most dangerous tree
disease, the infection will be more
quickly communicated to the trunk or
roots where its eradication is not only
difficult, but may result in the serious
Disagreement or destruction Of the
tree. All these sprouts should be re
moved well up into the head Of the
tree, as well as fruit spurs, which are
equally susceptible to infection.

The southern cotton farmer consoles
himself with the thought that raw
cottonseed meal returned to the land
is valuable fertilizer and restores
much of the strength removed in the
harvesting of the cotton crop. when
he should rather take note of the other
fact that if this same cottonseed meal
were fed to dairy COWS there would be
just as much fertilizer to return to the
land in the shape Of rich manures,
while the fertilizing elements would
be in a form to be much more readily
assimilated by the soil and he himself
be ahead in the dairy products result
ing. In other words, the dairy business

In relation 10 civil service and old-age

1.-THE Committee on Appropriations OF
Congress have diligently worked to re-
duce the expenses OF government and
have found their efforts often blocked by
lack of accurate information containing
a proper anaylsis of requirements and Of
actual and reasonable costs
MY experience leads me TO believe that
while government methods are much crit
icised, the bad results-if we do have bad
results-are not due to a hack Of zeal or
willingness on the part of the civil serv-
ants. On the contrary. ! believe that
fine spirit of willingness 10 work exists

TT is impossible TO proceed far in such
an Investigation without perceiving the
need of a suitable means OF eliminating
from the service the superannuated- This
can be done in one or two ways, either
by straight civil pension or by some form
OF contrbutory plan.
Careful study OF experiments made by
foreign government shows that three Sc
rious objections 10 the civil pension pay
able out of the public treasury may be
brought against it by the taxpayer, the
administrative officer, and the civil en-
ploye, respectively. A civil pension Is
bound to become an enormous. continu-
Gus. and increasing tax on the public ex-
ehequer; il is demOraliZing to the service
since II makes difficult the dismissal of
incompetent employees after they have
partly earned their pension; and II Is dis
advantageous to the main body of en-
ployes themselves since it is always taken
into account in fixing salaries and only
the few who survive and remain in the
service until pensionable age receive the
value Of their deferred pay. For this rea-
son, after a half century Of experience
under a most liberal pension system. the
civil servants of England succeeded. about
year ago. in having the system so
modified as TO make il virtually a con-
tributory plan with provision for refund
of their theoretical contributions.
The experience of England and other
countries shows that neither can con-
tributory plan be successful, human ma
ture being what it is, which does not
make provision for the return of con-
tributions, with interest. in case of death
or resignation before pensionable age.
Followed TO its logical conclusion, this
means that the simplest and most indie
