Style of Street Letter Box Changed

concealing the time when the next
collection is to be made.
Four things have been taken into
consideration in trying to adopt a de-
sign for a new street letter box. The
first Is that of economy of time for
the collector. Instead of having to
open the box from the side and re-
move the contents by handfuls, the
department wants a box that will
open and discharge it's contents into
a sack with a single operation.
In searching for this the question of
the artistic appearance of the box has
by no means been overlooked If a
new box is to be adopted, the postal
authorities are determined that it
shall combine rs much grace and
beauty in its appearance as it is pos
siblc TO give such a utilitarian object,
IN indestructible time card and an
automatic indicator that will show the
time at which the next collection is to
be made are the two other points
that have been given consideration.
The first becomes unnecessary If the
automatic indicator works satisfac-
tory, but the experiments thus far
made by the postoffice department
have not developed an automatic de-
vice sufficiently trustworthy, to put in
to use on the street letter boxes.

III ASHINGTON.-One decided step
w toward making the national capi-
tai the most beautiful city in the
world architecturally was taken re-
Gently when the designs for three
great buildings for the federal govern
nent were selected. Fifty-nine archi-
tects from all over the country com
peted. The buildings will cost nearly
SS,000,OG0. and are to be erected on
Pennsylvania avenue, facing the White
House grounds. They will house the
department of state, the department
of justice and the department of COM
merce and labor.
The spaces that these great struc-
lures will occupy were selected nearly
a century and n quarter ago. Major
LEnfant, French engineer, laid out
the plan of Washington in 1898. 1t is
said he so arranged the streets that it
would be impossible. in case of riot
or insurrection, for barricades to be

Present Tariff Virdicated.

The preliminary report of the bu-
reau Of statistics at Washington shows
that the year 1910 was a record
breaker as regards the total foreign
trade of the United States. The aggre-
gate was $3.427. .2lS.0 900. against 1885,
$50, 900 in 1907. until now the greatest
ever reached. The figures tell their
own story of the commercial expan-
sion of the country and of recovery
from the business depression that cul-
minated little more than three years
ago. and also refute great many al
legations made to discredit the protec-
tive tariff. Last year the exports
were $1.S6i,4l1.OoO and imports ST.
562 S07,0 900, while in 1907 the exports
v ere 81 ,923. .426.O 900 and the imports
We're S1,475, $4,000. In other words.
unoer the new tariff we have opened
the door TO many additional millions
OF dollars worth of foreign products.
Such a result certainly could not be at
tanned if the tariff were really pro
hibitive-" The most gratifying feature
of the showing is the large proportion
OF manufactures exported This. too,
shows We are making headway in cap
turing the most desirable patronage
abroad. Sales in foreign lands of
American products are no longer con-
fined to agricultural products and
raw materials"

- HE bureau of animal industry of
i the agricultural department eX-
presses the hope that many state leg
islatures will take up the question of
providing for the production of the
government hog cholera serum. The
federal experts are convinced of the
efficacy of this serum. They believe
that if the proper effort is put forth
by states hog cholera will be eradi-
caetd.
State officials who display interest
in the subject are asked to send rep
resentatiyes to the bureaus expert
ment farm, at Ames, Ia, where the
methods of producing the serum are
explained. 1t is also the policy of the
bureau to furnish a limited amount of
the serum and a few immune hogs to
the states that are just starting in the
work. Within the last year practical
demonstrations of what may be ac-
complished through the use of this
new serum have been successfully
carried out in Maryland, Virginia, Illi-
pois. Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky and Tennessee.

The Best Farm Markets safe

Reciprocity with Canada could never
interfere with the success Of agricul-
ture in any part Of the United States.
1t could no. touch the markets which
are most profitable to American farm
ers, gardeners, and orchard owners.
The most profitable markets for the
food products which pay best are tire
near markets. They are great cities
in this country of big and fast-growing
urban centers, and few c. the large
cities are close enough to Canada 10
give Canadian food products an equal
chance with those grown in the Uni
ted States. Distance win always give
American producers an advantage in
the markets Of American cities.
The exceptions to the rule could
never be numerous enough to affect
the general balance between American
and Canadian producers of food sta
pies. Always the better opportunities
and the larger profits would be found
on this side OF the border.

Taft and Canadian Reciprocity.

Nothing more encouraging has ema.
mated from the White House for long
time than the authoritative understand
ing that the president will push the
Canadian reciprocity plan with the
next congress, which will have a Dem
ocratic house. if the present congress
fails to act, or acts adversely on the
proposition.
While it is not probable that an ex-
ira session would be called to ratify
this reciprocity agreement. the intima-
ton that such a thing might be done
is not without consistent basis, for the
prospects are that the agreement will
be promptly ratified by the Canadian
parliament, thus placing the RESPONSE
bility for failure or delay in the estab-
fishing of better commercial relations
between the two countries wholly on
the Washington government
This Canadian agreement is likely
to precipitate a fair. striking test OF

ton as modified by national dissatis-
faction with the existing law. just as

Need of Hog Cholera Serum Reported

Most of these demonstrations con-
sisted of treating a part of the dis
eased herd and leaving the remainder
untreated. At Kansas City, however,
a more thorough test was made, the
results of which were very interesting
and demonstrated conclusively the
efficiency of the serum as a preventive
for hog cholera.
The test was made in the stock
yards at Kansas City, on the request
of the Kansas City Live Stock ex-
change and of individuals interested
in the subject. Thirty-ffve young
shoats were purchased from q farm
where hog cholera had not existed.
These pigs were carried to the Kan
sas City stockyards, being in charge
of a committee appointed by the ex-
change, were treated and the experts
say that no more convincing truth OF
the efficacy of this serum could be
obtained than is afforded by this eX-
pertinent
The agricultural department feels
that the subject is of such Importance
as to warrant state legislatures giving
it immediate attention. Hog cholera,
it is pointed out, has caused loss to
the farmers of the country of mil
lions of dollars annually. Now that
the government has discovered Sc
rum through the use Ct which this
dread disease may be prevented state
authorities should not delay in pro-
viding for the use of this serum.
