POPPOOOPOOOO®O®® POPORPVVRPLPIVOPVPVVVVVPVVVVVPVVVVOPOOVVVOVOOGOGO A NEW EXPERIMENT. An enterprising company is trying out an experiment in Newark, N. J,, ang if it should prove successfu! and profitable, the company proposes to extend its operations to other fields. The plan of the enterprise is to fur- nish to news, stock reports, sporting news and ev- of theaters and bargain sales, etc., by telephoune, to- gether with instrumental music and vocal selections interpolated at odd times, when there is nothing of great- er importance to communicate. ing the world’s championship series between the Giants and the Athletics the company furnished to the sub- subscribers general en advertisements Dur- scribers complete reports of the pro- gress of the games by innings. The enterprise bears the name of The Tel- ephone Herald and is organized like a daily newspaper. The news and other information is received through the ordinary channels and boiled down to almost skeleton form. But, instead of being sent to the compos- ‘ing room, the “copy’ is turned over to a reader, who reads the items in a clear and distinct voice, into a big iouth-piete, distributing it simultan- eously to all subscribers by means of telephones. As a novelty the plan made quite a hit in Newark. One de- partment store had fifty sets of ear- pieces installed for the benefit of its patrons and these earpieces were in As the service begins at eight o’clock every morning and continues until great demand all day long. mid- James J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern Railway company, in a letter to Da- vid Brown, chairman of the Spokane committee of the National Country Life Congress. Mr. ‘Hill endorses the aims and purposes of the nation-wide farm betterment movement to be launched in Spokane, November 23 to 29, and says it will do a real service by ob- taining authoritative information which it would be possible for the farmer of the country to put into ac- tual use, adding among other things: “Always the first and most import- 'ant matter is to reach the individual farmer and show him what he him- self can do on his land. The most highly educated agricultural profes- sor or teacher, when placed upon a farm, can do little more, if anything, beyond adapting his crop to the soil. To select good seed and to properly cultivate the land—that is all within the reach of the average farmer. “He can or should know what crop his land is best adapted to raise. - He can test his seed by taking a hun- dred grains of each kind and plant- ing them in a box of average soil and place the box in a place where the sun will shine upon it. The number of grains that grow will give him the percentage of good seed from which he will get results. He should use every particle' of barnyard man- ure as fertilizer and he should pre- pare his seed-bed by thorough culti- vation before planting and then it should be well harrowed. “That is practically all that the best informed agriculturist could do under the same circumstances. If the farmer is successful in raising tull crops I think it is fair to assume that he can be trusted to improve all his home surroundings and his social condition, If his farm work is not well done and the results are boor crops, the other work will not night, the subscribers who wish to get the full benefit of the service would have to stay at the telephone all day, which, of course, few would or could do. However, the company sends out a schedule every morning, which g‘ives' the program of the ser- vice for the whole day, specifying the exact time for the beginning of every feature. This makes it possible for the subscribers to arrange things so they may be able to hear the particu- lar feature they are specially inter- ested in. — JIM HILL GIVE‘S ADVICE. Practical farming, the work ‘of agricultural colleges, the scarcity of competent farm labor, the diminish- ing food supply, and other ecsnomiq questions are discussed :freely -by appeal to him nor can he afford to spend much time or money on other matters. “Most of the men who discuss ag- ricultural subjects are apt to talk over the heads of their audience and to talk about matters beyond the reach of the average farmer. Many of our agricultural schools are more engaged in tourning rather than farmers. “What will help a farmer most is clearly to enable him to help him- self and this can be done by showing him on his own farm. We have tried many methods and found that the only results worth while have been obtained by showing the farmer through the preparation of a small plot of ground, say five acres, how to cultivate his land. “Manual out teachers training would never amount to anything if the pupil did not actually make things, and the same applies to the cultivation of the farm.” Regarding the farmer b‘élng int ested in the prosperity of the wage- earner and the business man, Mr. Hill says: “Our agricultural population 40 years ago was about 50 per cent of the entire population of the country. It is now less than one-third. Forty years ago the agricultural popula- tion had to raise food for their own: mouths and for on additional mouth. Now we have to raise food for two additional mouths. “The scarcity of good farm labor today is felt by every farmer in the country and the want of it is com- pelling him to limit his cultivation _practically to what can be done by machinery. It is very difficult to get | farm labor competent or willing to take praper care of live stock or milk & cow.. . Still, if you should ask any- labor leader in the country he would tell you.there is too much labor in the country and that some steps should be taken to restrict immigra- tion of that class.” WANTED Ladies we are employing agents to sell our fall line of shirt waists.
