commission recommends that when a
railroad ratL is once reduced to meet
water competition, it can not be raised
unless, after hearing by the interstate
commerce commission 1t should be
found that the proposed note rate rests
on changed conditions other than the
elimination OF water competition.
The proposition to give the inter-
state commerce commission the power
to fix minimum rates below which the
railroad cannot go was condemned by
the commission but the majority OF
the commission recommend that the
power be given when the rate cutting
is for the purpose of destroying
water competition.
The lack of reliable statistics on
water transportation and conditions
of government reports termed chaotic
are condemned and it is recommended
that a uniform system of collecting
statistics be enforced.
The construction of FL canal is not
encouraged because of the expense of
acquiring land and the immense cost
of construction and the commission
recommends that natural waterways
be used wherever available.
The commission condemns the con-
struction of any projects not author
lied by the army engineers and de-
fends the army corps as the best avail

Two Men Swept
To Their DEATH

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 24.-By
the breaking of an old dam on the
Capilano river, two men, George Ham
ilton and George Simpson, employees
of hte city pater works, were swept
to death today by the swirling waters
of the stream. The men had gone to
the old house at the dam to get tools.
They had just entered when the dam
broke an dsent wall of water
against the structure. The house was
swept away like a cork, sending the
men to death. The bodies were not
recovered.

An Ancient Industry.

1t would be difficult to say where
exactly and at what date the manufac-
ture of cotton fabrics began. In COM
paratively modern times, says Country
Life, it has become an industry of i'm
portance in Europe, but it has -four
ished in the east from a period too re-
mote TO admit of calculation. The
Egyptians certainly used both cotton
and linen materials. for fragments Of
such stuffs have been preserved among
the other relics of their ancient civil
lization, and there is much reason TO
believe that the elaborate draperies Of
the Assyrians were cotton or muslins
finely woven and of delicate texture
In China, too. and India the same
kinds of material have been the COM
mon wear of the people from time i'm
memorial IN fact, everywhere through
out the east cotton fabrics were pro-
duced and used long before the primi-
tive Europeans had begun to develop
any of the graces of civilization or in
deed had ceased to be anything but
skin clad savages.

There is an affection in every en-

For, to look continually at a thing

if one looks continually at the snow
the sight is destroyed. but it is en-

IDEAS ABOUT HAY.

Increase In Yield and How to improve
Crops.
The average yield of hay in the
United States from 1865 to 1870 was
1.2S tons per acre. This yield was ex-
ceeded but three times during the forty
years from 1865 to 1905. The aver
age yield for the third five year period,
ending with 1880, was 1.29 tons; that
of the seventh five year period was
1.35 tons, and that for the last five
years was LAT tons per acre. The
average yield for the last period shows
an increase of O.19 ton over that for
the first period and an increase of 021
ton over the average yield for forty
years, which is 126 tons per acre.
The average yield per acre in the ten
leading timothy hay producing states
for forty years varies little from that
for the entire United States. There is
a slight difference during the first

GOOD AND BAD STACKS.

to more than the net profit after the
cost of curing, baing. etc., is deducted:
The price of hay land is steadily riS-
ing in the tame hay section, and in
order to make a fair profit on the value
of the land it will be necessary for
the grower to practice the best meth
DDS of culture. curing baling and sell
ing. Before there can be any material
change in the quality of hay sent to
the market it will be necessary for
farmers to learn the grades of hay,
for it is impossible to grow choice hay
if the producer does not know what
constitutes this grade.
Much of the heavy work in loading
hay can be saved by using a hay
loader. Take pains to stack well.
Note the difference between the stacks

LOADING HAY BY HAND.

twenty-five years, when the yield was
above that for the United States. The
yield during the last fifteen years was
nearly the same for both.
The feeding value of hay is often
lowered when it is stacked out in the
open. Considerable hay is often en-
tirely spoiled so that it is unfit for
feeding. The amount of spoiled and
damaged hay depends upon the time
the stack stands and upon the method
of stacking. In Virginia six to eight
ton stack of timothy hay, after it has
gone through the sweat, or, in three
or four weeks, will have from 800 to
600 pounds of damaged hay. Most of
this will be on the top and only a
small portion on the sides and the
bottom.
The market value of hay is frequent
ly lowered because this stained hay is
worked into the bales. It may happen
that the spoiled hay will be no more
than a couple of handfuls, which
amount is really insignificant but the
inspector cannot tell how much the
bale contains, so he is forced to grade
it one or two grades lower. This
causes quite a loss to those who sell
hay. In Iowa and surrounding states
considerable hay is stacked in the field,
and the loss due to stacking is not
thought to be enough to warrant the
building of a barn for hay only.
The most important thing in deter
mining the value of hay is palatabil-
ity, for if it is not relished not enough
will be eaten to furnish much nour-
ishment to the animal. When hay is
exposed in the field too long in the
hot sun or is subject to rain it's pal
atability will be 4essened, which in
turn lowers it's market and feeding
value. Low grade hay is not as pal
atable nor does it contain as much
nourishment as the better grades.
In general there is little if any profit
in growing and selling. low grade hay,
especially that made from the grasses,
for the loss of fertilizing value or crop
producing power of the land amounts

Another conclusion is also apparent,
that the subject Of temperance is
broad one and not confined merely to
the non-use OF alcoholic drinks. Ii
embraces a host Of other injurious
things as well; all poisonous things, as

and various other stimulants. Many

ture and really don't know that they
are injured by them,
The writer firmly believes that the
terrible oyershadowing evils growing
out Of the liquor traffic ought to be put
down by the strong hand Of the Gov
eminent. What is the true province OF
government, il not to protect the weak
from the strong vendors OF destructive,
seductive poisons? to save our lovely

The leading thought Of the Apostle is
that if we are His people our bodies are
the temple Of God, where His spirit
dwells. That is one of the most exalt-
ed conceptions of poor humanity to be
found anywhere.
What terrible thought, then, to de-
base and gradually destroy it by unhal-
lowed appetites, How terrible the death
OF the two sons Of Aaron, when, under
the influence of wine, they offered com
mon fire on the altar instead of the
sacred fire which God had commanded,
thus interfering with the sacredness Of
Gods temple on earth. Through strong
drink their minds were debased, so that
they could not distinguish between the
sacred and the common. God said to

We can readily see, in view of these
what terrible thing it is to
debase and destroy the temple of God.

TUBERCULOSIS DIRECTORY
Increase of 500 Per Cent Since
le04-Over 100 Agencies.

Active preparations for the publish
ing Of new tuberculosis Directory will
be begun next week by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis at its New York
headquarters.
The directory will contain up-to-date
lists of all hospitals, sanatoria, dispen-
saries and associations engaged in the
war against consumption. A summary
of what has been done by the various
State Legislatures, and the county and
municipal governing bodies will be in
Guided in the book. 1t will be the most
complete report of the anti-tuberculosis
campaign that has ever been published
in this country.
The growth of the crusade against
tuberculosis is shown to good advantage
in the two directories that have been is
sued and the one in preparation. The
first tuberculosis Directory was pub
lished in 1904 by the tuberculosis Com
mittee of the New York Charity Organ
ization Society and the National Associ-
alton, and listed 1873 sanatoria anG hos
pitfalls for consumptives in the United
States, for some of which preliminary
provision only had been made The
combined capacity of these institutions
was only 5000 beds. Thirty-two spe-
cial dispensaries and thirty anti
tuberculosis organizations summed up
practically all of the fighting force
enumerated in the first directory.
The second directory was prepared by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
published under the auspices of the
Russell Sage Foundation in August,
1908 This directory listed 240 sana-
taria and hospitals, an increase of 107
from the former directory; 15S dispen-
saries, an increase of 1876; and 1875 assoc
Citations, an increase Of 156. The num-
Der OF hospital beds listed in 1908 was
14,014.
The new directory, that will be issued
soon, will list over 400 sanataria and |
hospitals with a bed capacity Of nearly
%, 600; more than 800 special dispan-
saries and fully $50 anti-tubercuosis as
sociations and committees. Since the
first directory was issued in 1904 the
in the number Of agencies
fighting consumption aggregates nearly
500 per cent.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
would like to get in touch with all agen-
cies engaged in the fight-against tuber-
culoss, in order that they may be listed
in the new directory.
