80 years, % years in the house and

While in the senate he conducted
two Investigations which brought

was his investigation in the cleo

MIA. which resulted in the unseating
Of Quay. and the other was his fight
against the seating as a senator OF
Reed Smoot. of Utah. In this con
test Senator Burrows was unsuc-

He was a staunch advocate OF

out from one-third to ne-quarter or
his entire wages for rent alone would
regard as most astonishing.
According to the recent investiga-
ton, If the average farmer had to
pay rent, his home would cost him
S125 year. This figure represents
10 per cent of the value Of the ave-
rage house. Including interest, de-
probation and repairs, this is re-
garded as fair rental charge for
the class of houses usually found on
the farm.
With the information at their
command, the investigators were
also in a position to compute the
average cost of board and lodging
c., the farm. In this they included
an item very easily forgotten-the
value of the hor: work performed
by members of - family. Tnis
was reckoned ca {. : basis of the
v.--s that would have Id to be
p..,d for hired assistants. L, Ing
this with the more obvious c''arGes
for food, fuel, light, and ret. it w"s
found that board and LODI { :
each individual averaged $l4.62
month. But of this sum, it is in
teresting to note, the farmer pa q
out in cash only % per cent. Ex-
elusive of lodging the board of the
average hired man cost $40 a month,
but here again the farmer had only
to pay So. The remaining 81 was
furnished by the farm as a result
presumably of the hired mans own
efforts.
The averages obtained as the re-
suit of this investigation are not OF
course to be taken as mathematical
ly exact for the entire country. In
the opinion of agricultural experts.
however, they point with convincing
emphasis to the possibilities of COM
fort and prosperity that may be real
lied by fuller utilization of all the
| FARMS resources. Cash crops are
not the sole, and on the average they
are not even the chief source of real
income. 1t is really what the farm
furnishes directly to the farmer that
enables him to support his family
To increase the quantity and quality
of this direct supply is one Great OBJ
ject of farm management studies.

A VOCAL TELEGRAM

The phonograph, of course, registers
the voice, writes the Pail Mall Gazette
but DR.. Marage, a medical practition-
er here, has invented a curious instru-
ment which, in certain sense. takes
a vocal photograph. When you sing
to the instrument it does not sing
back at you, as does the Edison ap-
paratus. but it gives a legible trans
cript in dots and dashes. 1t is
sort of Morse telegram as we'll as
a photograph. The doctor, indeed,
has adapted his invention from a new
telegraph instrument which is capa-
BILE of transmitting 10000 words
minute. BY hts means the music
teacher can show pculafy to yis
pupil that he is singing out of tone.
The line is blurred and irregular in
stead of following an even course such
as would be the "Caruso line" The
invention will be useful. the doctor
thinks, in telephony. 1t will save
disputes, as there will be a record
of the conversation at either end. so
that when the talker says forks"
the listener cannot afterward main
tain that it was spoons" The ma
chine is as yet quite in the expert
ment stage and the doctor makes no
extravagant claims. AT the Eame
time it may prove a useful and ad-
mirable invention when a further de-
velopment has taken place.
