TARIFF BOARD APT

Tariff commission legislation will be
pushed to the front once more by the
Senate progressive Republicans.
They will try to get tariff com
mission bill passed by the Senate in
the extra session President Cobb, of
the national tariff commission. has
been here from Boston the past week,
comforting with Senator Cummins and
ether Senate pfogresslves for the pur-
pose of getting action.
AS matter OF fact, however. the
prospects for the establishment of
permanent tariff commission are
slim In the sextreme. 1t is doubtful.

thrcugh the Senate. either in the ex-
IRA session or in the regular session.

A good deal OF disgust Is expressed
among some OF the members OF Con-

many members Of Congress cannot un-

some OF the Republicans to gain time in

one or two cotton stuffed blankets
are dropped on the sheet. p" The
ring is suspended from the top edge
of the box by bent wires. That is
all the mother" the chicks have
and it does the business. The cheese
boxes cost nothing, the rest of the
material five or ten cents. A cheap
way certainly of brooding 25 or 80
chicks. MIR. Gammack had a lot Of
old lamp breeders; he tore the in
sides all out, retaining only the four
sides and the roof, and put the
cheese boxes inside on the ground.
When the chicks were two weeks
old the paper yard was removed
and the chicks had the run of the
inside of the brooder, and remained
there until large enough to be put
in colony houses out in the corn
field. For the man who has not a
suitable place to keep incubators, or
the time to attend to them, the OPP
portunity to buy day-old chicks is a
great convenience.
Orlers for chicks should be sent
to the dealers as early as possible,
stating the time when chicks will be
wanted. Two years ago l bought
200 day-old chicks-R. I. Reds;
they had to be carried about four
miles, then shipped to me by train,
and carried two miles to my place.
The chicks arrived in good condi-
ton, not dead one in the lot, and
I raised most of them, selling the
cockerels for broilers. l selected

them in a 1Ox2O-foot house, and

ECONOMY IN FRUIT HANDLING

We have received such splendid
prices for our fruit in the past
years that economy in production
has practically been ignored. How
ever, we are no different in this
respect from many large industrial
enterprises. Business in the United
States in the last two years has been
exceedingl y prosperous, very active
and profits large, and it was not
necessary to economic in produc-
ton, at least we thought it was
not necessary. This has also been
true with the railroads. Much at.
tention has been devoted recently to
reduce running expenses and the
cost OF production in various enter.
prises, and is still being given seri-
Gus study. Railroads are finding
that they can save millions of dol
lars with economizing methods.
Sometimes the saving in itself alone
is big profit. A man familiar
with one of the. big meat concerns
stated some time ago that the profit
in business really was what they
saved by utilizing the waste, con.
sisting Of the horns and hoofs,
which were made into glue; the
hide, which was made into leather;
the entrails, which are used for fer
tilizers. Not an ounce Of car
cass is wasted. So it is with the
fruit business. We should utilize
the culls for by.ploducts.
Some time ago the work Of the
brick mason was carefully investi-
gated, and it was found after very
thorough study that his movements
in handling bricks could be so i'm
proved as to facilitate the rapidity
with which he worked so that his
efficiency was increased 200 per
cent. It would seem that this
might offer a good suggertion for US
in handling our fruits. Now in our
opinion, there is not a doubt that
when the fruit grower gives the
matter of picking, grading and
proper conveniences a thorough
study it will result in handling our
fruit and growing it in such a way
as to make a saving of probably 20
per cent, or ten cents per box, and
ten cents per box saved is just as|
good as ten cents per box made,
and in some instances better, be-
cause sometimes we do not get the
extra ten cents per box when we
are expecting it.-Better Fruit.
