Statistics prepared by tho United States board of ogrlculturo show that tho earnings of poultry In tho United StatcB in ono year wero greater than tho value of cither tho cotton crop, wheat crop or swlno output Tho latcBt report of tho department showed that tho value of tho egg out put for a uinglo yenr amounted to moro than $290,000,000. Twelvo years ago tho fnrmorB of Kansas began to pay more attention to their poultry, and this Btato has becomo the greatest poultry Btate in tho Union. Tho pro uct of tho hen is rapidly paying of! tho mortgages on many farms, and the business has reached a point whoro tho laying capacity and profit of hens Ib a paramount question. Tho Stato Agricultural college is conducting interesting experiments with poultry, and a recent report shows that tho cost of keeping nino.hens eight months was $8.81, whereas tho eggs laid in tho name period brought in $20.50, leaving a profit of $17.75 or $1.G1 for each hen. CHEESE EXPORT FALLS OFF. New Zealand Takes Trado From Can adian Provinces. Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 2. Canada is losing her hold on tho chceso trado.

Improving Business Keeping Railroad Facilities TaxocL Washington, Nov. 4. Prosperity has arrived, according to a statomcnt issued by tho bureau of statistics of tho de partment of commorco and labor. During Soptcmbcr tho business of the country and tho volume of freight cars reached proportions which excelled thoso of tlio samo month Jast yoar.

Asks for More Doctors. Washington, Nov. 2.

Senator Carter Proposes Method to Obviate Bond Issue. Denver, Nov. 1. United States Sen ator Thomas C. Carter, of Montana, chairman of the senate committee on irrigation and reclamation of arid lands, arrived In Denver this morning, several others of the committee arriv ing later in the day. "There are projects now under way," said Senator Carter, "which call for the expenditure of between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000 for enterprises which ought to be rushed to completion im mediately, in order to open up homes for the settlers and to provide for re plenishing of the reclamation fund.'" "It has been suggested that govern ment bonds be issued to provide the capital necessary. My own idea is that warrants issued against the reclama tion fund would serve the purpoBe equally well. "There has already been expended on the Pathfinder system in Wyoming $1, 000,000, but until tho distributing sys tem is completed there will be no pay ments collected by tho government. "The Salt river project will require an expenditure of more than $3,000, 000. Up to this time $2,000,000 has been expended and the dam which im pounds 1,000,000 acre feet of water is just so, much dead effort unleBS we go further immediately and place the wa ter on the land." BUILD FREIGHT AIRSHIP. Pioneer Aeronaut Believes Ho Has Problem Solved. Lob Angeles, Cal., Nov. 1. After 60 years of nctivity in the field of con struction Professor Thaddeus S. C. Lowe, of Pasadena, announces that he is about to complete the labor of hia life and give to the world a practical freight-carrying air craft. "The day of experimenting has pass ed," said Professor Lowe today, "and I hope before long to be able to start the largest practical airship the world has ever seen on a trip to the Atlantic coast." While the plana of the airship are as yet a guarded secret, the inventor haa shown them to General Allen, chief of the United States signal service, and to the practical minds that have con ceived and reviewed them they contain no flaws desitined to prove fatal in the final test. "If you will imagine that I had in my balloon car when I went up for re connoiBBance with General MzClellan the 100 or 150 horsepower motor en gines of 1909, you will see that I could have ended the Civil war in a week. I will be able to carry 20 tons on my ex perimental airship," he said. BLIND MAN READS MINDS. Russian Studies Medicine Through His Sixth Sense. Chicago, Nov. 1. Blind from birth, but able through telepathy to take the different courses of medicine and sur gery without study, is the remarkable condition of J. W. Bowlotin, a Btudent in the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery. f Bowlotin, ayoung Russian, asserts that through a sixth sense, which he cannot explain, he can read the minds of his friends and classmates, and in than manner acquire from them the knowledge they obtained through hard Btudy. H. Wolk, a roommate of the myste rious blind student, said yesterday that after completing his studies for an evening, Bowlotin, even though no con versation had passed between them, would be familiar with the subject which he (Wolk) had been reading. Bowlotin does not believe his power is anything supernatural nor anything be yond what ony man could do if he would think hard. "The whole thing is largely a thing of memory and Bound reasoning," he said. "With Wolk here I get along nicely. Wo understand each other thoroughly." "Ib it true that Wolk reads reads to himself and you understand what he ia reading?" He replied that it was. Fire Sweeps Brack Hills. Deadwood, S. D., Nov. 1.

TAFT FAVORS FARM Americans Must Discard Obsolete Methods of Agriculture. GRIND DEATS CITY'S MAD WHIRL President Deplores tho Tondency of Young Men to Drift to City Farmer Independent. Jackson, MIbb., Nov. 2. President Taft would have young men of America stay on tho farvm with Its plenty and certainty, rather than decide on a lifo in the city. Mr. Taft indicated hia Behtiments In this respect in an ad dress at the state fair here yesterday. "We must admit," ho said, "the oc cupation of the farmer is among one or two of the most independent occupa tions that go to make this country great and a state which is great bo cause of it is entitled to recognition aa typifying Americanism in the highest degree. " We have arrived at a time in the development of this country and the world when old methods of agriculture must be discarded, if we would keep up with the procession. Land ib becom ing too valuable to treat it in the old wasteful way. I am glad to note Mis sissippi haa one of the best agriculture institutions in the country. "Here you have been able to restrain that tendency of your young men to come into cities and live in tenements, in order that they may be where tho wheels go round. If I were advising a young man as to his future profession I should say to him there probably is greater opportunity for real reward in the profession of agriculture than in any other." TARIFF WAR BEGINS. France Fires First Shot at New Amer ican Duty Law. Washington, Nov. 2. France's Row land for America's Oliver is the action of the Paris government in putting in effect yesterday the maximum tariff against goods coming from the United States. It did not surprise treasury officials. Ever since notice waa given to Paris that the reciprocity agreement with its low rates on both sides of the At lantic bo far as the two governments were concerned would expire at the end of October, this government haa been anticipating the step taken at Paris. This government cannot directly meet the French maximum until next spring, but the question of what to do has been canvassed. Sparkling wines seem to be the most vulnerable point, for officials here do not assume that this is the beginning of a tariff war of itself. A jump from $6 to $9.60 per dozen in the duty on champagne, which is what the restora tion of regular tariff rates means at the United States ports, and the unoffi cial talk of prospective substantial raising of that figure to the American maximum when the opportunity comes on March 31, next, have not helped French sentiment toward the United States. It was hardly to be expected, aa treasury officials view it, that France would figuratively "sit idly by." Some Classes Barred. Chicago, Nov. 2. Jury Commission er William A. Amberg, testifying 'to day before Judge Barnes in regard to the system of drawing jurors, admitted that a large part of the population of Chicago never had a chance to become jurors.
