Market Review
Houston, Texas, June 11—The
big feature of the Houston produce
market is (he early movement of
watermelons which are just coming
in from iuu Brownsville country.
The first carload was shipped from
a farm Dear Sebastian and the ship-
ment is believed to have broken all
cords for early movement of wat-
lelons. The melon movement
,oon will be in full force from the
'“''■^Vicinity 0f Hempstead and other
melon growing districts, Hemp-
stead reporting over 0000 acres will
contribute to the melon market this
year.
Texas peaches are coming into
the Houston market, in great volume
and the fruit is good. The peaches
are of the East Texas variety and
prices to the trade range around 75
cents to $1 per crate. The potato
market is showing its strength by a
$1.50 quotation to the liade, al-
though lower grades can be bought
for less. Old .stock is hard to get
now.
Strawberry recipls are steadily
falling off, only a few local ship-
ments being received. Berry ship-
ments are now being made from
Arkansas and Missouri. Texas coast
vegetables are in heavy supply, but
the Houston commission men are
not quoting them as they are han-
dled largely by the local growers.
The egg market is now approach-
ing normal on account of the first
eggs being taken from cold storage
!his week. It is unusual to invade the
cold storage stock this early in the
season^Jbut the dealers find it neces-
sary to supply the high class trade.
The eggs were brought out at 20c
per dozen.
The first report by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture Bhowing the
condition of cotton May 25 to be
78 9 percent of the normal is of in-
terest to the cotton trade. ft£ay 25
last year the condition was 87.8; un-
official reports to the Houston
Chamber of Commerce from over
the cotton section of the South in-
dicate a probable decrease in the
acreage planted to cotton this sea-
son of about 6 percent. These
figures are, however, usually inde-
terminate as considerable planting
remains to be done ever wide areas.
However in Texas it is estimated
the acreage has increased about 3
per cent. Tho plant is generally
healthy and growing thriftily and
where it is advanced enough culti-
vation is making normal progress.

General Agent of the Conference for

for tree distribution a bulletin on
“Tbo State Institutions of Highei
Education in Texan, Their Pa I
Services, Future Poaeibil t es anc
Pie&oiit Financial Condition.”
The bulletin thnwa what ihe peo-
ple w&y reaeonab y expect of tb(
Slate ir.etilulicn> of higher educa-
tion, what these schools are now do-
ng, and what they cou’d do unde:
thi more favorable conditions ci
proper financial support; and dis-
US608 the needs of the State’s inst i»
utiuns of higher education.
Our institutions of higher educa-
tion should prepare men and womei
for the most useful citizenship, fm
efficiency in the various occupations,
ndustrial arid otherwise; l h e >
■ihould apply technical learning Ic
ho various resources of busineat
md philanthropy; they should con-
ributo to tho sum of human knowl
dge, offering advantages to all pen
ole of the State through extensivt
ectures and correspondence courser,
To accommodate the needs of the
student body which exceeds 3,00(.
muually in all departments, and tc
teryo Texas in the largest and mos
iseful way, the University should
lave a larger teaching force, m; rt
buildings, better equipment, anr
addition^-1 courses cf instruction,
it is conservatively estimated that
an increase of 50 percent in the
University’s income would increate
uany times the efficiency of the in-
Jtitution, extending its benefits tc
increased numbers of loyal Texanr.
Texas needs, at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, where th«
number cf students has increased
trora 500 to 1127 within the past five
■ears, several new buildings and
vdditional instructors, in order that
efficiency may be increased along
'.echnological lines and that the in-
stitution may perform its duty to
the people.
Likewise the College of Industrial
Arts and ttie four State Norma!
Schools should be prov. ed w ith ad-
ditional buildings, new departments,
nora teachers, additional dormitory
vnd laboratory facilities to meet
present demands.
It is also shown that the private,
mdowed and denominational schools
■lave rendered invaluable service to
the State, and that they are rightly
-intitled to adequate support.
The discussion closes with dia-
grams and tables of statistics of the
following fourteen leading State*
with respect to their institutions oi
nigher education: Texas, Illinois.
Dhio, Missouri, Michigan, Indiana,
California, Wisconsin, Iowa, Min-
nesota. Kansas, Nebraska, Colora-
io and N <rtb Dakota. Oi these
’’ourteen States, Texas ranKs third
n population ; but in the GnanciaJ
mpport of higher education, the
following interesting comparisons
ndicate the rank of Texas: Total
income, 13tb ; income per inhabitant,
14 h; income per $1,000 property,
!2th; income per student, 14th; in-
come from State tax and appropria-
tion, 10th; income from other
ocrcee, including tuition fees, 9th;
eachers per 100 students, 14th;
;a.lue of buildings, 8.h. Our insti-
utions of higher education should
ba made as good as the beet.

TO SAVE JOB OF FORESTER
Important Office In Chicago In Dan-
ger of Perishing for Lack
of Funds.
An appropriation by the Chicago
council for the city forester was a
Christmas gift suggestion mndA bv
Carnes MacVeagh. He offered It as
an officer of the Municipal Art league.
The council appropriated $6,000 last
year for civic forestry. Mr. Mac-
Veagh says the forester has done
much with this limited sum, but that
to expect him to make Chicago beau-
tiful with this expenditure Is ridicu-
lous. He calls attention to much larg-
er appropriations which smaller cities
have given similar offices.
“In Chicago tjiere are more than
2,000 miles of residence streets," said
Mr. MacVeagh. “It is possible to
maintain trees and parkways along
most of them, but only a small mile-
age is so planted. The value of trees
to public health Is generally recog-
nized. The ethical Influence of green
foliage in creating attractive sur-
roundings for the home are more
vaguely appreciated. Treea^ however,
stimulate so pleasantly the sense of
beauty In every normal being that
any defense of tree planting becomes
almost unnecessary.”
Planting Firmly.
Failure in planting of tress and
shrubs is often caused by not Arming
the plants In the ground. A plant or
tree that does not have the soil prop-
erly pressed around the roots is very
slow to take hold and in the case of
trees that $way In the wind it tnvarta.
CRATE TO FATTEN POULTRY
Work Should Be Done Four Weeks De-
fore Killed to Get Right Pro-
portion of Fat and Lean.
Fowls should be fattened at least
four weeks before they are killed, not
to make them as fat as possible, but
to give them the right proportion of
lat and lean to make the fowls fut
and Juicy when cooked.
The fattenlng-crato shown herewith
Is 6 feet long, 16 Inches wide, 13 inches
high and divided into three equal-

sized compartments, each holding
from four to six birds, as the case
may be.
Tho slats or laths are lVi Inches
wide, placed one and a half Inches
apart at the ends, sides and tops of
the crate, but those in front are placed
vertically two Inches apart.
The floor of the crate Is made of
Slats laid lengthwise, one Inch apart,
leaving a one-inch space on either
side between the first lath and the
sides of the crate. The crate should
stand on short legs or trestles, to
allow convenience in cleaning.
The trough is made the full length
of the crate and should be three or
four Inches deep. It is supported at
either end on notched boards. In order
that It may be taken away when the
poops are cleaned.
Never leave the feed before the
chickens more than 15 minutes, and
feed very little at the start, gradually
increasing the amount until the end
of the week they are getting all they
can eat three times a day.
Some rations for fattening are given

LEGHORNS ARE BEST LAYERS
None Other Found So Strong and
Hardy and Consequently Busy for
.foultrymen to Raise.
Leghorns live and are profitable
longer than other breeds. Large hens
put on fat after the first year and do
not lay so well afterward. Leghorns
lay well until four or five years old
and a Leghorn on free range will never
get fat enough to hinder her laying.
Like all other fowls they are at their
best during the first and second years
of their lives, but as long as a Leg-
horn hen looks bright and thrifty she
will lay profitably, says a writer in an
exchange. This in a great measure
offsets the fact that their bodies are
too small to sell well as dressed poul-
try, however the buyers here pay as
much per pound for them as for any.
They are accused of not laying as
well during the winter as the larger
hens. If the houses are cold enough
to frost the combs of the single-
combed varieties they will not lay un-
til their combs are healed. They hard.

ly ought to be expected to, and rose-
comhed varieties do better on this ac-
count, but given comfortable quarters
,1 have no trouble in getting them to
lay lu winter. Last December was
a very cold month here, the tempera-
ture being below zero nearly every
morning during the month and some
mornings more than 20 below. I had
yearling hens laying, also pullets
hatched In June that had been laying
since September 1.
i Other small breeds that I have tried
fill all these points except one. 1
have found none other so strong and
hardy and consequently easy to raise,
and so take them all In all, the Leg-
jhorn suits me for an all-around farm-
[er’s fowl better than anything that 1
[have ever tried.

With the Increased Reprsssnlatisft !I

Under the new apportionment of rep-
resentatives lu congress nuil with tlio
admission of Now Mexico and Arizona
the Electoral college will tic recoust'.-
toted and n new basis established lor
representation at tho natlonr.1 conven-
tions
Each state has as many electoral
votes as it has senators and represen
tatlves. In 3909 there were 4Sf! mem-
bers of the Electoral college. Next
year there will bo MP. So 207 votes
will be necessary to elect.
Confusion has arisen In some of the
tables of electoral votes heretofore
published, which wiougly give the to-
tal as 531. The mistake has arisen o:i
the assumption that New Mexico Iwd
only one representative ia congreia,
whereas it has two.
The Republicans and Democrats
have bases of representation lu their
conventions that differ slightly. Moth
parties admit twice as many delegates
from each stute as it lias senators and
representatives. So the states will be
represented both at Chicago and Balti-
more with 1,004 delegates. The differ-
ence arises in the territorial represen-
tation.
The Republicans admit six delegate,-)
from Hawaii and two each from
Alaska, District of Columbia, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, thus making
a total of 1,078 delegates.
The Democrats admit six delegates
from each of these five divisions, mak-
ing a total of 1,094.
In the Republican convention a ma-
jority, 540 votes, will nominate. In the
Democratic convention a two-thirds
vote is necessary, or 730.—Kansas City

ANIMALS IN ALASKA.
Our Great Territory Has Become One
Vast Game Preserve.
Quietly but surely Alaska has be-
come one vast game preserve. A new
division of the fisheries bureau in the
department of commerce and labor Is
called the Alaska fisheries survey. The
function of this survey Is to look after
all the Alaska fur scale, the lesser fur
bearing animals, the beaver and the
sea otter und almost an tne varieties
of bear. By a strange arrangement,
however, the Kadiak bear, the largest,
of the tribe, is placed under the Juris-
diction of the biological survey.
From now on, so far us game Is con-
cerned, the territory will be controlled
like a huge zoological park. No fur
bearing animals may be killed, except
under the rules laid down by the fish-
eries survey. The sea otter is not to
bo hunted for nine years and the bear
not for four years. The movement Is
going to take the greatest care of fur
seals. Five game wardens to be main-
tained for the territory, and they are
to guard and study the animals.
On the south coast und where the
Kadiak beat abounds these animals
are becoming so.numerous as to be-
come a positive nuisance and an actual
menace—Chicago News.
Odd Way to Make Steel Rods.
There is employed In Great Britain
a comparatively new process of mak-
ing bars of steel and other metal.
This process consists in heating metal
until tt becomes plastic and thou forc-
ing it, tMth the aid of a hydraulic
ram, from the eompn
through a die. It issues from the die
in the form of a rod, like sausage
from n sausage machine. The rods
are round, square or hexagonal, ac-
cording to the shape of the die. and it
is said that they possess greater ♦en-
sile strength than rolled bars of equal
size. Wire so small that it weighs
only one-hundredth of a pound to the
foot In length, as well as heavy bars,
are produced in this way.—St. Louis
Republic.
A Forgottsn Tyrant of China.
The abdication—or deposition—of the
Emperor of China recalls that the rath-
er lengthy list of ex-sovereigns in-
cludes another oriental ruler who once
figured very prominently In the public
eye—the notorious Theebaw, who suc-
ceeded his father on the throne of Ava
In 1878 und Immediately began to mur-
der his relatives and generally misrule
his kingdom. Protests failing to af-
fect him the British government dis-
patched an expedition under General
Frendergast to depose him. Ava was
added to the empire and Theelmw was
sent into exile in India, where, power-
less but well provided for, he still sur-
vives.—Loudon Chronicle.
Armored Bap'. Automobiles.
Armored autoti? oiles are now being
used by banks and safe deposit compa-
nies for the transportation of valua-
bles, says a contributor to the Bankers'
Magazine. Each car Is lu effect a
portable safe, the body of the car be-
ing lined with steel and there being an
entrance only at the front of the vehi-
cle, which carries two armed guards,
besides the chauffeur. Boston, it is
said, has been the leader in displacing
the old fashioned bank messenger,
with his satchel in haiul, by these new
instrumentalities for transporting mon-
ey and valuables.

ing in another man's automobile con-

bright red disks automatically appear
on the borrowed car. These sire In-
tended to notify the police that some-

trivance controlled by a lock.—Argo-
