FARM MACHINERY NOTES
By Marco Polo

Now comes deponent, in the person of
Congressman Rainey of Illinois, who de-
clareth, says: 'sThat under the new T #
great concessions are made to the American
farmer, as under its benefcent workings
they will be able to purchase Farm Ma
chinery and other implements at the same
price paid abroad. Now, since it is
we'll established fact that American machines
are sold at higher prices abroad, the infer
ence might be drawn that the new tariff
bill will cause manufacturers to advance
domestic prices to make them equal foreign
prices. Perhaps and maybe-you cannot
tell, of course, what the trust may spring
on you, but, with reference to the Mime
sofa the honest and horny-handed toll
ers of the soil of this sovereign State
may rest assured that the price will always
remain fixed at standard which will as

champions the wisdom of the establishment
of this industry in the commonwealth of
Minnesota. Observe the results of its
workings: The State through its charges
maintains highly efficient plant: produc-
ing an article fully as good, and by many
considered better, than that which is sold
in the open market. The margin of profit

imburse the State and assure it respecta-

Since writing our article, of few weeks

hemp. A reliable authority says: The
hemp-plant, like the hop, which is the other
member of the same natural order is dioe-
cious, that is, the male and female flowers
are borne on separate plants. The male
plant is smaller than the female, and ripens
and dies earlier in the summer. The foil
age of the female plant is much darker and
more luxuriant than that of the male. The
leaves of hemp are constituted of FIVE te
seven leaflets, the form of which is lanceo
late-acuminate, and sharply serrate. The
loose panacles of the male flowers and thu
short spikes of the female flowers arise from
the axis of the upper leaves. The heigh
of the plant varies greatly with season, SOIL
and manuring; variety has produced spec
linens over seventeen feet in height, but thu
average height of the common sort is abou
eight to ten feet. Hemp has been employ

This criticism can refer only to the
accounts kept by Mr.. Ingham and his
assistants of moneys received from To-
cal insurance companies to cover the
expenses of Investigations and exam
nations in other cities. No other book
accounts are kept In the office. As
such trips are infrequent it was the
custom of the employees to keep their
expenditures in pocket memoranda.
When the wor kwas completed a
statement was submitted to the COM
pany. and return made If the amount
advanced was in excess of the expendi-
lures, or a request for the difference If
the expenses exceeded the amount re-
ceived
These statements were copied in the

Francis J. Carpenter. who agreed to
look after him, and take him out Of the
District. He is still legally insane in

today, was sent back to the asylum.
Since his release only about q week

ture and no action was taken.

When he appeared at the Courthouse

mediately recognised him. This en-
ploye knew of the letters Wagner had

come back to Washington to make trou-
bic. Sanitary Officer Robert Sroufe

gave the order for Wagner's arrest The
Sixth police precinct was notified and
Policeman J. r. Hood was sent to the
