' 1 an- a J;rt farcer and he'd rer

ations." Mr. Cottrel! said in beejn
ain his speech. ' But in all serious
nes I nant to mention some of the
thincs I believe in. I believe, firstly.'
that there has been far too much ad
vertising of hardships and losses in
sericulture and too little of the other
side. Nationally, as well as interna
tionally, we are in the midst of a
di.fcult period and agriculture must
expect, and should be willing to take
its share of the bumps and knocks."
.Mr. Cottrell contradicted another
statement which has been advanced
of late in connection with agricul
ture. "American agriculture is to
day on a sound foundation, and its
future is bright. I do not deny that
there are many obstacles to be over
come, but do claim that some of
those presented are purely imaginary."
A pamphlet bv F. L. Mulford.
landscape gardener cf the Offce of
Horticultural and Pomological In
vestigations I Farmers' Bulletin
lav makes detailed suggestions for
the better planning of farmsteads
stle of the design, location of the
buildings, walks and drives, service
features, lawns, arrangement of
plantings, trees, shrubs, vines, her
bacious plants and plant material.
Houses that are little more than "a
comfortable place to eat and sleep"
are illustrated side by side with
house of the same character made
homelike and attractive by planting.
Common errors in laying out the
home grounds are clearly demon
strated when illustrated side by side
with the suggested improvements.
Ti.e Extension Division of the Col
lege of Agriculture of West Virginia
has issued three bulletins for use by
farm women's clubs on the interior
of the home one dealing with the
arrangement of the kitchen. The
suggestions given are accompanied
by programs for club meetings at
which such questions as the follow
ing are offered for discussion:
In a new house wouKl you paper or
paint the units" Have you set ashie
a ceriiiin sum each year for purchase
of new furniture and upkeep of the
old? Is our principal problem to im
prove our old furniture by repairing.
varnishir.gr. etc.? How to secure ad
ditional conveniences, such ps running
water or pump. sink, washing machine,
dumb waiter into cellar, oil stove, stool,
etc.? With what material should the
walls of the kitchen be covered? vn-.at
do you consider the greatest conven
ience to you in your kitchen?
A bulletin of the Hampton (Va.)
Agricultural Institute on home dec
oration deals again more especially
with the esthetic side, shows how
furniture in a room should and
should not be arranged, what mater
ials to avoid, how ornamental plant
ing is to be made most effective.

How Railroad Men Can Buy
All the Railroads.
When you pay a big bill for goods
by freight or when you buy a railroad
ticket and find the charge greatly in
creased since the last time you made
that little trip, do vou realize what
:t all means to the rai'ioad men of
tl'is country -
The fact is that manv of them
Mere underpaid compared with pa
in industries other than fanning,
manv cre well paid, generally
speaking, and now they are extra
well paid. We understand they are
satisfied and that is a thing the pub
lic should be thankful for.
Some railroad men have been
talking about getting control of the
railroad business of this countrv.
We wonder if they realize how easily
thev can do it. Anyway, if they had
the thrift of our friend, the farmer.
thev could accomplish is easily.
The total outstanding par value of
railroad stocks voting stocks is
about six and one-half billion dollars. '
But the general market slump in rail
road stocks during two years has
brought the selling value down from
a par of $100 per share to $58.50.
Thus the market value of the voting
stocks of the American railroads is
only three billions, eight hundred
millions. To gain control, a man or
body of men only need a trifle over
50 per cent of the total stock. At
present market prices that half
would cost about one billion, nine
hundrel millions.
Very well. The recent increase in
wages of the railroad men of the
United States amounted to six hun
dred and twenty-five million dollars
per vear. If thev saved onlv this
increase and put it into a fund, it
ould amount to one billion eight
hundred and seventy-five millions in
ih'ce years. The interest at 4 per
cent on these savings for the three
years would bring that up to close to
two billions of dollars, or enough to
buv control of all railroads at the
present market price of railroad
stocks in three years.
But they won't do it!
