The United States is now using over
10000 900 punches of bananas annually.

wheat and today it requires put een
minutes. The cost then was 17.3 Genus
per bushel, now it is 31s cents.
1t required four and one-halr hours
to produce one bushel of corn, To-Day
Al minutes.
In 1860 it required thirty-hve ana
one-half hours to produce a TON OIL
hay. and now but eleven and one-nail
hours. Then it cost in labor $3.OO per
ton, now $1.29.
When we consider the great ad-
vance in the cost of a days labor
since then, we will have some idea Oh
the part implements play in assisting
the farmer. We must also remember
that the price of farm machinery mas
not advanced in proportion to farm
products and farm labor. The aggre-
gate saving to the farmer on account
of improved implements represents
large per cent of his net profits.
During the year 1900, implements
saved in human labor $6S2,0OO,Ooo
Last year the American farmer bought
500, 100000 worth Of machinery, but
it saved for him in labor more than
$S00,00O,O00.
AS necessity demands it, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that new 1nven-
tions will further increase the produc-
ton of the farm and decrease the
cost.
The benefits from narrowing grow
ing crops, forming mulches and sur
face cultivation should be presented
from a scientific standpoint. The
value of good seed, when to gather 1t
and how to care for it, how deep to
plow, what crops are best adapted to
certain localities, are all essential
features of better farming and are so
apparent when rational explanation
is presented that the farmer will be-
come interested, feeling that a good
argument in favor of the various feat
ures has been presented.
A scientific explanation of the prin-
ciples of crop rotation, the value of
barnyard manure when evenly dis
tributed, should be known by the
traveller and the dealer.
The value of deep blowing, when to
pillow and how the furrow should be
turned are questions not to be over
looked.
The benefits Of stock breeding and
the value of a balanced ration and
how to grow the rations are matters
of great Importance to the farmer, and
no one is in better position to be-
come the farmers teacher and guide
than the man who sells the imple-
ment.

WITH THE WORLD OF LABOR.

The engineers and firemen of the
Bangor & Aroostock railroad struck
Saturday after being refused an in
crease in wages.
The public service corporation of
New Jersey has announced that in the
future the minimum wage for women
and girls in it's employ shall be SO a
week.
The presidents order transferring to
the civil service all skilled laborers in
the various navy yards of the country
meets with general commentator
among the unions.
Paupers in England and Wales are,
according to a government report, the
fewest on record since 1872, the total
being 637,04S. The decrease is largely
due to the old-age pension act.
Forty thousand Chicago garment
workers may be called out on strike
in sympathy with New York strikers
because eastern manufacturers are
sending orders there to be filled.
Labor leaders predict that the SYM
pathetic strike begun January II, when
800 men walked out and tied up two
of the largest new buildings in the
course of construction in the loop,
would continue unless the firm said to
be responsible for the trouble settles
its differences with the unions.
Encouraged by the result of the
workmen's compensation law, which
has been in effect in the state of
Washington since the last session of
the legislature, the people of Montana
and Idaho are advocating a like meas
ure for their states. A bill has also
been prepared for submission to the
legislative body of Oregon. This evil
dences the progressive and humani-
tartan twentieth century spirit which
pervades the Pacific Northwest and
is indicative of a spirit on the part
of the people to be responsive to and
ready to adopt any institution which
may be to the interest of Justice and
the bread producers of this section.
An announced settlement Saturday
in New York City of the strike in the
dress and shirtwaist branch of the
garment making industry, promising
to send $4,000 operatives back to work,
was followed almost at once by rebel
lion among employees affected against
the terms their leaders had agreed
upon with the manufacturers. Doubt
exists whether the dress and shirt.
waist makers will accept the condi.
lions. In the other trades the strike
still is on, affecting more than 1901
men and women. With hatpins and
umbrellas, several hundred women
fought the police Saturday in one of
the fiercest riots since the beginning
OF the garment workers strike. A
policeman who tried to protect the
strikebreakers was badly beaten.
