This fall / had the opportunity. aftel
the close of the Congress of Hygiene il
| Washington. Of visiting some OF tn,
cities of the Eastern States and seeing
| therein something of the labor condi
| tions and Industrial life of the people
Although visited a considerable variety
| OF factories, the number seen was toe
| small to enable me to make a compari'
son between American and British manu-
| featuring plants.
Despite the larger number of labor
saving devices in use in America and in
England. there are in both countries still
some Industries, e. E., the iron and steel
in which work is too hard and the hours
are too long. Working twelve-hour
shift week after week and month after
month frequently is beyond the limits
OF human strength. At several Of the
blast furnaces In the North of England
the hours have been reduced from twelve
TO eight with the result that the amount
OF iron produced is greater than in Stat
fordshire, where the twelve hours still
prevail Not only in the North of Eng
land Is production greater. but the men
receive higher wages, although working
fewer hours.
1t is a well-known fact that in the
men undertake hard, disagreeable, and
dangerous work This is left largely to
the foreigners from Eastern Europe.
From what I have seen and heard OF
foreign laborers in the States. feel that
I must advance plea In their behalf.
They are frequently given extremely
dangerous work without being instructed
as to the risks they run. A little more
humane treatment of these foreigners
and more sympathy extended to them
would do much to tighten the burden or
their toll and make life more agreeable.
The large number of foreigners employed
In the. factories is one of the causes of
accidents.
Apart from accidents in no industry Is
instruction more called for than in the
manufacture of white lead. In factories
where white lead is made factory regu-
lations, such as those in Great Britain,
do not appear generally to be in force.
There Is no compulsory periodical medi-
cal examination of the workers and vet
in some of the white lead factories en-
ployers have of their own accord re-
quired their work people to be medi-
cally examined just as In England. Where
health can become so readily impaired
and life endangered as in the manufac-
ture of white lead. 1t should not be
left altogether to employers TO draw up
regulations for the work people.
From my visits to white lead factor
les In the States and to different hospi-
tails. also from my conversation with
medical practitioners appointed to partic-
u;ar factories, I did not find plumbism
more prevalent in the lead works of
America than in England. But until
America has in all the States adopted
compulsory notification OF industriai
dIeases no accurate estimate OF occupa-
tionai plumbism Is possible.

The Mines.

Although the spelter market
in East st. Louis was IL IL
cents lower and weaker in de-
mand, the zinc ore market re-
NAMED practically in the same
condition as during the previous
week. The demand was firm and
price for lower grade ore was
slightly higher. The top price
paid for extra grades was SAT.
Blonde sold at $40 and $44 a ton.
Last week low grades of blende
did not sell below $40 a ton,
while the previous week ore sold
as low as S38 a ton. In this re-
spect the market was more salts
factory last week. With the ex-
ception noted, the hoped-for rise
in price failed to materialize.
The operators feel that the con-
ditions are becoming more salts
factory and that better prices
will prevail within a short time,
however.
The output for the week was
slightly above $500 tons, an in
crease over the output of the pre-
ceding week. Buyers we're in
the market early and but little
ore remained in the bins when
the market closed late Saturday.
Some ore was purchased for de-
livery this week and it does not
figure in the totals for last week.
During the. week many idle
mills were started and added
very materially in swelling the
output of the district. Outside
the sheet ground district, there
are few idle mills. A number of
mills are closed temporarily for
repairs and will reopen within a
few days.
Substantial success attended
the efforts of the prospectors in
various parts of the district and
some exceptionally rich deposits
of zinc and lead were developed.
In nearly every camp in the en-.
tire district there is a great deal
of prospecting going on with
gratifying results, and the great
ore bodies being discovered event
ually will mean many additional
producing mines for the district.
Calamine remained the same az
the preceding week, the bulk OF
the output going at $40 base, q
small lot of high-grade stuff
bringing SIS. The lead market
was more satisfactory and ore
sold readily at $50, an advance
of so cents over the price paid
; the previous week. The eastern
market closed quiet, with a prom.

What is SiIage
Worth?

An Illinois correspondent writes:
will you kindly tell me what
would be a fair price to charge a
neighbor for silage? I have a
silo twelve feet in diameter, and
forty feet high, into which I put
something like nine acres of corn.
Both myself and my neighbor are
feeding silage to dairy cows"
Some silage has twice as much
water in it as other silage has;
some silage is quite acid; some is
nice and sweet. Of course, it is
an utter impossibility to assign
value for any particular silage
without seeing it, and even then
it would be difficult. But in a
general way, silage may be val
ued. During the past season we
would have given it a valuation
of about So or $3.50 per ton.
This is based on the assumption
that corn is worth about 40 cents
a bushel in the field, and that
the cost of interest on the silo,
depreciation on the investment,
and expense of putting corn into
the silo amounts to$1.40 per ton:
Silage runs about four bushels
of corn to the ton, so it may be
seen that on this assumption a
ton is worth, at present market
prices of corn, about So. OF
course, there are many other
ways of arriving at a valuation,
but this is about as fair as any
we know.-Wallaces' Farmer.

kerosene for
Cooling Autos.

A subscriber writes that his
neighbor has been using kero-
sene instead of water for cooling
his auto engine this winter, with
apparently very satisfactory re-
suits. He wants to know If there
is any objection to using kero-
sene instead of the ordinary anti
freezing mixture for this pur-
pose. We submitted this inquiry
TO a number of automobile man.
ufacturers. Most of them reply
that kerosene can be used sue
cessfully for this purpose with
out injury of any kind. Some,
however, say that kerosene holds
the heat too long, and is also in
furious to the rubber connections.
We presume the success of kero-
sene as a cooling mixture for
winter will vary to some extent
with individual cars. From the
information we have been able
to gather, it appears to be worthy
of a trial. -Wallaces' Farmer.
