KNEW 1T HAD BEEN FOUND
But Information as 60 Minister'S Lost
Coat Afforded Little Satisfaction
to That Gentleman.

William N. Wood, the head of the
WOODEN Industry, said in Boston
apropos Of the new tariff:

coat?
"A country minister, driving to
church with his new overcoat on the
seat beside him. lost the coat en-
route, and announced his loss from
the pulpit
Dearly beloved, he said, I met
with a sad loss this morning. Some
where on the River road. while driv

from the back of the church.

voice. Il came along the River road
Just after you, and it wasn't there"

LARGE CITY MARKETS
HuGksters. Groeers and Fruit
Growers Have Place.
Early Opening OF Place is AdVan-
tageous to Growers, as il Allows
Them to Dispose o. Their
Produce Promptly.

a city market is a very interesting
place to visit, from several points of
view. The description OF one il a
city of 10000 inhabitants is here
given. From three hundred to seven
hundred wagons are at this market
every morning The market covers
ter acres. The land is divided into
Streets which are cement walks
along which the wagons are backed.
These streets are divided into stalls,
which are seven feet wide; there are
marks on the cement where the Wag-
on wheels must be. By placing the
wagons properly, in this way. il allows
a passageway between the wagons.
Every class of growers and every
class of buyers has a place Of its own.
The hucksters, grocers, fruit growers
and truck growers each have 4 place,
and each must stay on its own street.
a grower is allowed. however, to
bring both fruit and vegetables.
A rental is charged for the stalls,
the renter who pays so much year
having his permanent place. Part OF
the stalls are covered and these. being
the more desirable, bring a larger
price than the open stalls.
All fees and rents 90 into the city
treasury. The receipts for five months
last year were: April. $2.2639O; May.
S1,046.50; June. $1,79695; July.
s9OI75; August, S1,O28,05. The money
for the salaries of those who have
charge of the market, and other ex-
penses, is appropriated out Of the city
treasury. AS these expenses do not
equal the receipts. the city makes a
nice little profit.
The market opens at four o'clock in
the morning, ana most of the whole
sales sales are made before $50 This
is an advantage to the growers, be-
cause it allows them to dispose of
their produce promptly. The wagons
begin to arrive on the market soon
after midnight.
The fruit and vegetables usually
are in excellent condition, for they are
picked the afternoon before. The
early market is mostly a wholesale
proposition. Some fruit and vege-

HOW TO MAKE FARMING PAY
English Farmers, Paying Higher Rent
Than American Tenants, Live
Better Than Latter.

English farmers have learned that
brains are more important than fer
tilizers in farming. 1t is a proven
fact that English farmers who pay a
great deal higher rent than American
tenants do, live as well or better than
the latter. The average English ten
ant farmer has cash capital to work
on which would be drought suf1i-
cient by most American tenant farm.
ers to buy a good farm. With so
acres or even less, an English farmer
will often employ from two to five
men and do no work himself-merely
bossing the Job. He spends most of
his time studying the market, buying
live stock and selling the products of
his farm. He uses his brain and
therefore has money to hire muscle

FITTING a HORSES COLLAR
Time IT Will Shape itself to Neck
Snug But Not Tight.

The collar should 6t-be just right
in length and shape. If worn by the
same horse all the time it will shape
itself TO the neck. But nothing can
overcome wrong size. 1t must be
snug, but not tight, free. but not too
loose. The names must be adjusted
right. If the top strap is too tight
the neck is pinched, and the tugs
raised too high. If the top strap is too
long the tightening of the hame strap
below causes a bad fit and may throw
the pulling joint of the tugs too low
down
Horses necks differ in shape and it
is wrong to make them wear a collar
that was fitted to another horse. You
would have CALLED feet if you wore
other than your own shoes. Much
worse for the horse that pulls a load
with a misfit cellar

tables are sold at retail in small guam
titles, but as the grocers and buck
sters have the retail trade we'll in
hand, they get most of the business.
OF course this early selling is of ad-
vantage to dealers, because it allows
then to get their supplies in plenty of
time for the days retail trade. Most
city people prefer to sleep and call up
their grocer by phone and give their
order for the day than to arise very
early and go down to the market, even
though it might greatly reduce the
cost of living, but through these mar
kets the consumers get their fruit and

DIFFERENT USES FOR EGGS
Large Quantities Are Used by Calico
Printers, Coffee Roasters and
Photographic Trades.

1t is said that the calico printers use
more than 100000 dozens of eggs
each year and that the coffee roasters
and Photographic trades, the cracker
and biscuit combines and the chemical
trades consume more than twice as
many. Large quantities are also used
in the leather trades for tanning. etc
They are also largely used in the prep
aration of many patent foods and the
liquor trade takes no inconsiderable
number For many of these uses in
ferior grades OF eggs are used-not be-
cause they are better, but because
they are cheaper. One biscuit COM
