After; repeated fail area during four years' hard work the commission is now satisfied that success is at hand. The first experiments along this line were with foreign-speaking people, and in every case this proved a failure. These are the kind of foreign servants that are being placed to w,i large extent in the North. Com'missioncr Watson then concluded that this section would have "o have a higher type than is used in the North in order to supplant the negro, who is daily growing more useless exacting and that the new servants must speak English. He was further persuaded that the newcomers in order to be satisfied tncinselves and render satisfactory service would have to be in touch with the other members of their families, so as to give the home touch and alleviate the social alienation which had made other experiments with English-speaking girls failures. Accordingly persistent. energetic work was carried 011 in the desirable farm section of England with literature, lectures and personally conducted tours with big vans.

Take two large boxes, the second somewhat smaller on all sides, and bore two one-inch holes in each cor/ respondingly, to give drainage and ventilation. Fill up the bottom of the larger box with powdered charcoal (or sawdust, if charcoal cannot be procured) until the smaller box will stand 011 a level w..~ the top of the larger box. Put the inner box in place, and fill up all the space around the sides with the charcoal. Fasten lids on both boxes to fit tightly. On each side/af the inner box, by means of cleats, put several shelves, leaving a space in the center for the ice. A rack mado of lathing may be laid at the >al?om, for the ice to rest upon. Tiegs may be added, also, and the drainage and ventilation in this way bo improved.

Dealers and breeders who tire predicting a shortage of horses almost amounting to a famine in the next ew years will find much to confirm their opinion in the records of the trade at the Unl.m Stock Yards, Chicago in 1907 There was a falling off of 24,224 head It. the arrivals of the vear; and all clav~.es of horses averaged higher than in 1906, nothwith smiiiuwik me nnaiifini (lisiu man cos an.l the faet. that users of horses all over the Country were economizing in their purchases. There seems to he no doubt tn the minds of market experts that the sh-lnkage in arrivals during the year was due to the fact that the mir*,,r,r of marketable, or. rather, serviceable horses had declined. Farmers and breeders seem to have discovered too fully the expected results of the use of the automobile and to have ore.l fewer horses of late years. Certainly If they had been In the country the Ugh prices of the year must have brought tnem out! Records of the Union Stock Yards show that 2.000,000 horses have ar r'ved there In the last twenty venra This Is an average of 100.000 horses a year. The banner year was 190.r?, when 127,2f>9 head arrived. The largest receipts for one month were 11.44k. In Mareu, 190r>. and for one flav, 2,17 7 head, on March 6, 190T?.
