Is thc ,,lan of Representative Smith of the nfth Maryland district. and which centsmpIate sedlng to the Dominion ot Canada the entire panhandle of A,ssjxa, which is the southeastern strip.
 Representative smith explained thu meaning of the resolution which he in troduced yesterday. which resolution would empower the president to ne- eotiate with the British and Canadian governments regarding the transfer Of this strip of territory.
 The resolution states that thc strip i. an unnatural boundary created In response to conditions which long ago ceased to exist. hampers tlc de- >elopment of the adjoining lands and gives rise to irritation. IL also states that nothing could acromplisli the purposes of universal peace better than this model concession" as |, would set an example to the rest of the world.
 Other Results Probable.
 Although the aim of Representative smith Is to foster union which vii. insure uniye peace, there are scv- cral interesting international develop m.nrs which might arise from |, sale or gift of the Aluska strip 10 Canad. Che of these. as suggested by Rep resentative Smith. would involve trad ing the strip to Great Britain for Brit tsh Honduras: then British Honduras could be traded to Mexico for L"Wer California and part of the Sonora de- sert.

Along with Lower california the United States would acquire Mag 6alena bay, first class naval base. which Is perennially soaring the Cni- ted States because of rumors thot some other power is about to acquire d.
 The Smith resolution is the third attempt made in congress within m" past few months to bring about some diplomatic negotiation looking toward tie ceding of this strip to Canada and bringing Ajasku and United states very closely together by mcans "f a ureat railroad. the latter being the rather warlike proposition of Albert Johnson of the state "f Washington.

Size of Business and Income

sufficient investment to give the
farmer n substantial income.
In the Central States, where corn,
wheat and oats are the prevailing
crops and where land Is from $3.50
to $3.50 an acre, $4,000 would be
entirely too small an investment to
yield the owner good income for
the reason that 40 to so acres, the
total amount Of land he could pos
sibly buy with this amount of
money, would not utilize his teams,
machinery or labor to the fullest ad-
vantage.
On the other hand, the number
OF acres Is not always a true meas
ure, as a big business can be con-
Quoted on a small area, Twenty
acres OF truck and small fruits may
equal a 20O-acre farm devoted to
grain, hay, cattle and hogs. II is
the type OF farming that determines
the number OF acres necessary for
efficient operation. Many persons
have made the mistake Of buying
too high-prlced land for successful
general farming In other words,
they paid truck farming prices for
land which on account Of market re-
lauons should be used for only
grain and general farming.
The proportion OF tho total in
vestment that should be used as
working capital Is equally as inn
portant as size Of Investment. Cen
orally speaking, about rs per cent
to IS per cent Of the farmers in
vestment Is In real esate, the other
10 per cent to 25 per cent being In
livestock and other equipment, This
proportion will vary according to
the type Of farming followed In
regions where dairying Is the main
enterprise, the amount OF working
capital may represent one-fourth Of
the entire investment
A third point IN the consideration

The City Man as a Farmer

farm experience, but who are i'm
bued with a rosy vision Of the joys
and profits in farming, buy poor
land at high prices and thereby lose
the savings they have been years
in accumulating, One city family
paid $4,000 cash and assumed a
$4,000 mortgage on farm worth
only about $1,000. Another paid
$4,000 cash and signed a mortgage
for $4,000 on a farm that was later
appraised at $4,000. A city family
that had saved $4,000 used this
money to make a first payment on
cheap farm land and when their
eyes were opened found they still
owed considerably more than the
farm was worth. For seven years
they have worked almost night and
day to meet the interest, without
being able to reduce the principal.
These instances could be multiplied
almost indefinitely.
"Tn purchasing farm great care
should be taken to get a good farm
at fair price, To pay or agree to
pay more than the farm is worth
is to invite failure. From a busi-
ness standpoint no farm that does
not pay interest on the total in
vestment, depreciation on equipment
and wages for all labor performed
on that farm is successful.
Gwen when great care is taken
in making the investment only in
exceptional cases should the city
bred family attempt farming. GEN
orally the best advice that can be
given to the city-bred man who de-
sides to become a farmer is that be-
fore purchasing farm he work as
a farmland for two or three years
This will give him an opportunity
to learn at first hand many things
about the business, as well as the
practical side Of farming, In no
other way, as a rule, can he get
good farm training and experience
at less trouble and expense or with
out danger from financial disaster"

FHE Department Of Agriculture
receives many letters from city
people who have read glowing
accounts Of the wealth that may be
made on the farm. A large percent
age Of these people have already
bought farm land. Some Of them
appear to believe that the reason all
farmers are not rich is because Of
extravaganza, wastefulness, ignor-
ance, and lack Of business ability.
To these letters the department. s
specialists reply much as follows:
"As a matter Of fact, farmers as
q class are intelligent, industrious
and economical, and many Of them
are men Of good business judgment.
Further, those who have made a
thorough study of the business side
Of farming know that It is not an
easy matter to make money on the
farm, Only the most practical and
experienced farmers are making any
considerable profit out Of their busi-
ness. Most Of the money that has
been made on the farm in recent
years has been made, not by farm
ing, but by the rise Of price on farm
lands. In the nature OF things this
rise can not continue indefinitely,
and some one will own this land
when the price becomes practically
stationary or perhaps starts to de-
cline.
while It is true that occasionally
a city bred family makes good on
the farm, this is the exception and
not the rule. It is always a risk to
invest In a business without first
making a thorough study Of that
business. Many city people who
have saved up few hundred dol

IN ECENTLY the office Of Infor-
M nation, U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, released a paper
on 'Discover Way to Make Fine
Table Sirup From Apples" The
patent applied for is in the interest
Of the public and is believed to be
OF value in utilizing undesirable or
unmarketable apples.
The paper containing the infor-
nation shows that the sirup is made
from apple cider and that one gal
lon Of sirup is obtained from every
seven gallons of cider. In some re-
spects the sirup is similar to cider
sirup that was known to us 20
years ago. In other respects this
sirup is similar to cider butter.
Inasmuch as the new process was
designed chiefly for the cider mill
or other manufacturer who desires
to manufacture and sell cider sirup,
the question Immediately arose as to
whether OF not such process would
be feasible. From the homo manu-
facturer's point Of view the intro
duction Of milk of lime (slaked
lime suspended in water) did not
appear practicable because II would
be difficult to teach the average
person the right amount Of milk
of lime to use AS outlined there
Is another objection in that the ad-
dition Of water contained in the
milk Of lime dilutes the cider and
consequently Increases the time for
the concentration Of the cider to
the proper consistency.
Taking these Objectionable fea-
lures into consideration, Professor
Geo. Olson OF the State Experiment
Station at Pullman, Wash, has
modified the original process in such
a manner as he believes to make 1t
Of practicable use to not only the
cider mill, but also to the house
wife. Whatever changes have been
made in the process It is hoped that
It will not modify the patent in any
way whatsoever. With this under
standing, any one who desires to
make sirup according to the modi-
fled method does so without infrlng-
ing upon anyone's personal rights.
The modified process as worked

most economical to build, since there

RUSH TO SECURE THE CROSS
Celebration In Russia and the
Balkan States.

The Russian Christmas falls on
January Z. On that day St. Petersburg
celebrates the birth of Christ by bless
ing the River Neva. A procession Of
priests, followed by a huge crowd,
march to the river, the ice is broken,
and a cross dipped in the water. In
spite of the intense cold, often many
degrees below zero, piously-inclined
persons rush into the river to battle
themselves in the sanctifed water.
A similar Christmas ceremony is en-
acted in those Roumanian towns which
lie on the Danube, but in this case the
people are dressed to represent vari-
Gus biblical characters, such as Herod,
Pontius PLATE, ETC., and the cross is
not merely dipped, but flung into the
water. Then follows a terrific rush to
secure the blessed emblem-a rush so
fearful that often lives are lost, for it
is firmly believed that its possession
will bring the owner good fortune not
only for the year, but for the rest of
his life.

Snail's Real Pace.

AT a snail's pace is a common ex-
preston and usually signifies very
slow gait, but what do you suppose
is the actual speed by a snail in tray
cling?
We can give it to you in accurate
figures.
One foot in four minutes, or at the
rate of one mile in 16 days, if travel.
ing continuously.
These are figures given by George
Zahnizer, a civil engineer Of this city,
taken from actual observation.
A short time since Mr. Zahnizer was
standing along the Western New York
& Pennsylvania railroad waiting for a
train He had nothing in particular to
do and killed a little time" by timing
a snail which was creeping along the
ground.
That snail travelled just exactly one
foot in four minutes, Mr.. Zahnizer
says, and computing distance at the
rate of travel shown Mr. Zahnizer has
figured out that it would require 16
days for that snail to move a mile.
