The application for wage increase
averaging 40 per cent is now pending.
The men have refused TO accept COM
pulsory arbitration while the roads
were under private control.
This wage question, one of the most
serious problems that confrOnts the
government in operation of the roads,
must be settled by Mr.. McAdoo.
The presidents proclamation states
he will take possession Of the rail
ways through Newton d. Baker, sec
retary of war. This emphasizes his de-
termination to run the roads strictly
as a part of the military system,

The fact that the railways are un.
der the war department will simplify
the matter Of drafting men for work,
in case an extreme step should be-
come necessary.
The presidents advisers do not be-
lieve such measures will be needed.
The brotherhoOds have demonstrated
their loyalty and are depended upon
to adopt action now that will guar
antee enthusiastic continued operation
of the roads.
In selecting Mr.. McAdOo for the
most powerful place in the admins
tration, the president is known to have
been influenced by the fact that Mr..
McAdoO has a thorough grasp not only
of railway and government finance, but
also of the worlds financial situation.
Furthermore, one of the presidents ad-
visers stated, he is a man who does
things. He can cut through red tape.
These two considerations pointed to
the secretary of the treasury as the
one to unite the transportation knot.
Power Is Great.

He will take possession of every
railroad and every system of transpOr-
tation located wholly or in part within
United States boundaries. Street rail
ways alone are excepted. All steam
ship companies owned or controlled by
railroads, will come under his control
and operation.
The present officers of the roads
will remain in their places, but can
be removed, or changed, at any time,
by order of the director general Of
railroads. His authority is paramount
even to that of the interstate commerce
commission, which hitherto has fixed
rates and governed the traffic of the
lines.
The plan now put into effect has
been worked out by the president
through a period Of several months.

States entered the war it became evil

principally because he was a coward.

RAiSINS and Wine
important Products of the Fa-
nous Malaga District.
Vines Not Trained on Arbors, but
Pruned to Form Bushes Cover.
ing About One Square

The two principal varieties of grapes
grown in the Malaga district are the
muscatel and the Pedro Ximen. Rails
ms and wine are both made here from
the muscatel and wine from the Pedro
Ximen, observes a correspondent.
The vines are not trained on arbors,
but are pruned to form bushes that
cover an area of about one square yard
at harvest time. The vines are set out
in rows ten feet apart. During the
spring and summer they are carefully
cultivated and sprayed with sulphate
of copper to destroy insects. The
grapes begin to ripen about the first Of
August. Laborers with large flat
baskets or trays gather the fruit. 1t
is not all cut out at one time, but the
field is gone over periodically and only
the ripe clusters are cut from the vine
with scissors.
The raislns produced near Malaga
are not treated with sulphur, I've, or
oil, as is the practice in other parts
of Spain. In or near the grape field
there is thrown up an earth terrace
inclined toward the setting sun. This
is divided into sections about ten yards
long and twelve yards wide, around
which a low brick or stone wall is
built, to protect the raisins ana to sup
port the canvas stretched over them
at night or during inclement weather.
The object of this slanting surface is
to keep the sun constantly shining
upon it. The bottoms of the drying
beds are covered with fine gravel TO
retain the heat.
Immediately after being gathered,
the grapes are spread out on the beds
for exposure to the burning sun. At
nightfall the raisins are covered with
canvas TO protect the fruit from the
heavy dew, and, as stated, the canva
Is also spread over them in the event
Of rain. There is rarely any rain i'm
this section during May, June, July
August and September. During the
process of drying the grapes that re-
main green or become spoiled are are
fully removed, and the clusters are
turned from time to time in order that
they may color uniformly. The drying
process takes about three weeks, 50
that the first raisins of the season ara
ready for packing about the end Of
August. Heaviest shipments go for
ward in September.
Before packing the raisins are sort
ed and graded. After small and IN
perfect raisins have been cut off the
clusters are laid in boxes lined with
white paper and containing usually p
or % pounds Of fruit. Good fruit which
has become detached from clusters
through shaking and raisins cut from
small and irregular clusters are sepa-
rated from the rejected fruit and are
also packed for shipment. The boxes
of raisins are then brought to Malaga
by the growers for disposal to the ship
pers and dealers. The prices realized
vary considerably according to the
quality of the fruit and the quantity
OF the crop, also according TO the con
dition of the industry in the other
countries. where raisins are produced
and the general demand in the world
markets.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

There are afew types of barns which
have survived the changes which have
taken place during recent years in the
farm building field. An advancement
in the methods of barn design may
affect some of the 'old favorites' in
that their arrangement is made to
conform with the more advanced prin-
ciples of sanitation, ventilation and
lighting, these three subjects being
among the most important of those
which have been so thoroughly inves-
tigated in recent efforts at farm build
ing betterment. However, the tried
and proven qualities of some of these
barns are always maintained and they
are built year after year for the pur-
pose to which service has shown them
SO well adapted.
The barn shown in the accompany
ing perspective view is of a type which
is familiar to almost every farming
district. 1t may be arranged in a
number Of ways to serve a variety of
purposes. The plan which is illus
trated here establishes it as q general
barn for winterlng beef cattle and to
stable several horses. 1t is 20 by 40
feet in size on the ground with a big
storage NOW overhead, the same size
as the foundation including the stock
shed.
This barn was built for a farmer
who raised Herefords and also kept a
number of mares TO raise colts. He
wanted a barn to store feed in and to

from 500 up is a different proposition
from the old buildings that were o
sidered good enough to stable animals
worth from $50 down.
The high opening through the shed
Is the entrance to the barn. This ar
rangement gives a convenient thresh-
ing floor for oats when the crops are
heavy and overflow the other barns.
Hay settles considerably in a big NOW
like this before oat harvest and the
space may be used TO advantage in
such emergencies. The oat straw is
blown by the stacker back into the far
end of the nov TO be kept bright and
clean for winter feed and bedding.
There is as much money in raising
beef cattle as there is in keeping dairy
COWS. Profits depend upon the man.
One farmer knows how to make money
by doing O dairy business. Another
farmer knows how to breed and feed
beef cattle to get big prices. 1t is not
often that one man makes a conspicu-
GUS success with both. He is prone to

live stock that he likes best.
A good farm Is worth good buildings.
Any farm is good that provides a liv-
ing for the family. Comfortable build
ings help to make a poor farm good
and a good farm better. Even the land
that has been ruined may be brought
back to life by the aid of live stock;
but first there must be buildings TO
make the live stock comfortable. Near
ly every farm is shy a building or two
and most farms need more fencing
fences for range, health and pasture;
barns and stables for storage and win
ter feeding.
Economy in business often means
spending money for necessary improve
ments. If animals require all their
feed to keep them alive and warm,
then the grain is being burned for fuel
while the animals are not lettering
their condition. Time may not be
much of an object to the animal, but it
is to the owner.
We don't really own our land until
we have it well fenced. We don't real
ly Own our W live stock until we
have proper buildings in which to house
them. Saving the waste makes the
profit. A farm barn is a farm factory.
Waste material is a b]y-product in dis
guise. What was formerly waste is
now worked into saleable merchandise
in the manufacturing industries. Farm
buildings are farm factories. The soil
produces the raw materials which are
taken to the farm shops and made into
high-priced butter, beef, mutton and
pork.
Formerly beef cattle were raised on
the open range. 1t required three or
four years to produce a beef steer, be-
they were left out in the cold to
hustle for themselves all winter. The
grass was partly covered with snow
and occasionally the water was frozen
