TRADE COURT OPENS
New York Tribuna! Revived After
Lapse Of II fears.
Costly Trials Are EradIeated-No
Jury or Lawyers Required and
Appeal From Decisions of Ar
bItrators Not Permitted.

New York.-The business mems
court of honor, a tribunal without
Judge, lawyer or jury, yet recognized
by the laws of the state, has been re-
vived in New York after lapse Of II
years. The court is conducted by the
chamber Of commerce to settle dis
putes among merchants, and, SO far
as is known here, there Is no other
court like It in the world.
In 1853 the business mems court
was established and for more than a
century merchants adjusted their dis
putes there In 1874 the legislature
voted a salary of $4,000 a year to
the official arbitrator of the court, and
when this salary was discontinued in
1895 the body passed out of exist
ence. Several months ago a move
ment was begun looking to the re-
establishment of the tribunal with
the result that several cases have just
been heard before it.
To try the average case requires an
expenditure of only $50 or $50, COM
pared with the heavy expenses of
trials in the regularly constituted
courts OF the state. The court is in
charge of the chamber Of commences
committee on arbitration. The COM
mittee selects from the membership
of the chamber list of men qualified
to serve as arbitrators of disputes,
who are sworn in by justice of the
supreme court.
When any Issue is referred to the
committee for settlement the dis
putants are permitted to select the
arbitrator. If they are unable to
agree upon one each is permitted to
choose an arbitrator, the two thus
chosen to select third
There are no appeals from the
court. 1t has no means Of enforcing
its DEGREES, relying upon the fact that
merchants will not injure their repu.
tation by repudiating their written
agreement to accept the rulings.
In addition to the lessenfng of ex-
penses and saving OF time, 1t is said
that the court is enabled to render
decisions which are generally salts
factory to the disputants. Arbitrators
engaged In the same line of business
as the disputants are selected, so
that they may bring expert knowl-
edge to bear upon each case. The
court is open to all business men of
the city. Each disputant furnishes
his own witnesses and pays his fees,
The arbitrators receive $40 day
The proceedings are secret.

HAPPINESS Postponed.

An awkward predicament in which
sailor bridegroom and his bride were
placed in st. Mary Majors church,
Exeter, Devonshire, England, recent
ly, caused the postponement of their
wedding. The banns had been duly
called at the church, but when the
parties presented themselves at the

LANDS USUALLY
NEEDING LIME
When Soil Is Sour II VIII Turn
Blue Lltmus Paper Placed
an Contact With
It Red.

CBy DIR. W. P. BROOKS, Massachusetts.)
Those soils on which, when seed
ed, timothy and clovers fail, and
where sorrel comes in largely togeth-
er with red top, usually need lining.
1t should be pointed out, however,
that the presence Of sorrel is not a
proof that lime is needed. This weed
will flourish even in soils which have
been heavily lined; but on such soils
the grasses and clovers are likely to
crowd 1t out while on soils which are
in need of lime, they are unable to do
SO.
When soil is sour 1t will turn blue
litmus paper placed in contact with
it red. To carry out the test, make
about tablespoonful of the soil into
thin mud with pure water and after
it has stood for a short time lay
piece Of blue litmus paper on 1t and
cover with the mud. Be careful not
to handle the papers with the fingers,
After about ten minutes remove the
paper, washing it if necessary to show
the color If it has turned red, the
soil is sour and needs an application
of lime. Practically all druggists
keep litmus paper.
The most certain evidence Of all
as to whether lime will prove ,bene-
fetal is afforded by simple expert
ment which may be carried out as
follows: Lay off two square rods in
part of the field to be tested which
seems to be fairly representative and
even in quality. To one Of these ap'
ply twenty pounds of freshly slaked
lime. After applying at once work
it in deeply and thoroughly. A few
days later apply to each plot liberal
quantity of either manure or fertilizer.
precisely the same amount to each.
Plant table beets. II the soil is much
in need of lime these will make &
better growth upon the lined plot.

ENGLISH SPEECH FOR CHINA.

AS nobody knows even approximate

vast Chinese domain. so. perhaps. no
body can say definitely and positively
how many distinct dialects are spoken
by the peoples of the different pro-
vinces recent authority puts the
number at "over hundred" So wide
ly differing in many respects are many
of these dialects that they constitute
practically distinct languages. To en-
deavor to group combine and stan
darize these languages into one com
mon speech for the whole empire
would be work Of many years and OF
immense difficulties In fact, 1t would
seem to be an undertaking involving
greater difficulties than the tntroduc-
ton Of complete new tongue. Ana
1t must be remembered that the Of
fetal and educated classes are familiar
already with English. The language
is taught In the universities and many
o. the schools. 1t is the common me-
dunn Of official communication with
other governments. At the same time,
the leaders Of the new movement are
enthusiastic friends of our country. II

With corn plentiful and cheap, farm
ers in the corn belt will not be easily
Interested in any other kind Of feed
for fattening hogs and cattle, but as
the price of corn as it stands today
and with the probability that it will
steadily advance in the future, 1t is
only the part of wisdom and good
management for farmers to study the
value of other, grain for feeding at
less cost.
In many countries where corn can
not be raised the finest pork and beef
are produced from barley, other grain
and roots. In Denmark, for instance,
where the finest bacon in the world is
made, farmers feed their hogs en-
tirely on barley.
Frequently in this country the price
of barley becomes very low when the
mailing demand is oversupplied and it
is then that the shrewd farmer can
supplant corn with this grain and sell
his corn to better advantage than by
feeding it..
Farmers in the northwest where
barley is grown to large extent are
becoming more interested in this
grain and the experiment stations up
there have done some excellent work
in proving it's value as compared with
corn.
An experiment began by the North
Dakota station four years ago to show
the value of barley as compared with
corn for fattening hogs, has produced
some very valuable and interesting
results.
A dozen eight-month-old pigs were
divided into two lots of six each. The
animals in each lot were uniform in
size, thrift and general condition. The
average weight of each lot was at the
beginning of the experiment, practical
ly identical, 127 pounds,
Those in lot one were fed ration
composed of four parts ground barley
and one part of shorts by weight. The
pigs in lot two were given four parts
Of ground corn and one part of shorts.
The pigs were fed for period of SO
days, the grain being soaked in wa
ter and fed in the form Of thick
slop.
The feeding value of pound OF
corn proved to be IS per cent greater
than a pound of barley, but much of
the barley was inferior in quality and

First Prize Sow at the Royal Show, England.

If 1t would have been good, sound
grain, might have made a better
showing. The difference in price Of
about seven cents per bushel between
barley and corn must also be taken
into consideration.
The Wisconsin station, which has a
fine reputation for careful feeding In
vestigauons, some years ago made a
test between corn and barley and re-
ported that the value of corn was only
eight per cent greater than that Of
barley. The barley was figured at 4S
cents bushel, corn at 55 cents aud
shorts at $14 per ton. The hogs in
this test sold at $500 per hundred,
the barley fed hogs netting profit
of $1.00 per hundred pounds and the
corn fed hogs netted $1.S9.
In this test the price Of barley at
As cents was too high as that was the
regular price for best grade mailing
barley while the average price Of
common barley was 81 cents per bush
ell. Taking these figures it would
have been cheaper to feed barley and
sell corn.
Investigations that these two sta
lions have made shows that barley
makes more lean meat than corn. OF
course corn is the greatest fattener
in the world when fed to hogs, but a
better grade Of bacon can be produced
by feeding barley than corn.
When hogs are fed for weight alone
there is no doubt that corn has the
slightest advantage, but where bacon
is produced for the best special mar
kets barley will turn out the best
product. The result Of the two ex-
periments show:
That it required Is per cent more
barley by weight than corn to produce
the same gain in feeding pigs when
both grains were fed in the proportion
of four parts Of grain to one of shorts
by weight.
That it is profitable to feed barley
to hogs if pork is selling at an aver
age price.
That the carcasses of the pigs fed
barley and shorts showed a greater
distribution of lean and firmer flesh
than the carcasses of pigs fed corn
and shorts.
That pigs fed on corn and shorts
will dress higher per cent than pigs
fed on barley and shorts.
