recently the slides were more enor-
nous and larger than usual and the
canal commission has consequently
been Obliged To revise its estimates To
add 5,2jI2S1 cubic yards to the exca-

slides. But this additional work will
not add TO the original estimate for
the Culebra Cut, owing to the great
improvement in the method Of work.

Corn rs undoubtedly the king OF
crops in the United States but the hen
is queen. Just think Of IT; the value
OF the poultry and egg product Of this
country Is now estimated by the Sec
rotary OF Agriculture 10 be a round
billion Of dollars. The corn crop f.
valued at $2,OOO,OOO, the cotton crop Is
les than half that total though cotton
used 10 be hailed as king. The wheat
crop, allowing dollar bushel as
the price Is worth about s7O3. O0o. 900.
but the hen has surpassed them all
except corn. II was not always so
Ten years ago the poultry product
was rated ~ s2sOOOO.OOO. Tn 1905.
IL had risen io $500, 900. Two years
ago IT mad increased 20 $3.50. 600. 600
and now il touches the billion mark
and is still increasing. Undoubtedly
the great demand for poultry and eggs
by the rapidly increasing city popuIa
ton has given great impetus to the
poultry business Of the whole country.
There never were many farms which
did not raise more or less poultry,
even wnen eggs were twelve cents
a dozen and chickens ten or twelve
cents a pound. Little attention was
paid TO them then. but now they form
an important feature Of every pro-

MILLS MAY cuRTAiL.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 19.- Manufacturers of hosiery and under wear in all parts of the country are looking forward with intense inter est to the annual meeting Of the National Association Of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers. which is scheduled to meet in this city May 22 to 26, inclusive. The unusual in- terest manifested is due 10 the re- culiar and highly unsatisfactory sit- uation in the hosiery and underwear manufacturing industry. The mater ial falling off in fhe demand for tL raanufactured products has made it practically imperative for the manu- facturers to curtail the production. But many of the manufacturers hes itate to adopt this course unless all the mill owners in the aEi9ciation agree to follow the same course. IL is expecteh that the situation win be thoroughly discussed at the meet ing next week and it Is hoped that a general agreement will be reached among the members with view of reducing the production during the present depression of the hosiery trade.
