The runs of oil from the wells for the aamo month were 7h0.5!>l barrels, or 3,340 barrels less than for July. For the first eight months of the present year, the total shipments of oil from the stocks of Indiana crude amounted to 7,482,961 barrels, valued at Iti.ni.151.98. Adding the price of pipage of 20 cents a barrel to this amount. It would make the total 17,703,684.18. The runs, or production taken from the wells for that period, were 5.552.5a2 barrels, valued at $4,642,020.28. This amount of money was paid to the well owners and farmers as royalty. .The figures show that the stocks of Indiana oil for eight months have decreased 1.910,063 barrels, and had the Ohio end of the trenton rock field done as will, the price of this product would be close to the dollar mark.

OF OFFICIAL WASHINGTON
DID NOT FAVOR IT.
SOME CASES OF SOUR GRAPES
Not All the Warriors and Sailors Could Command Forces Near the Society Porta.
(Special to The tndtanapoll* News.) WASHINGTON. September 6.-It should not be assumed that all of official Washington, even In the War nnd Navy Departments. approves of the costly ’’war game” going on along the fashionable watering places of the sound. Some ot the disgust that Is apparent in the departments winy be attributed to ''sour grapes,’’ since not all the warriors and sailor* car. command phantom armies and ships nnd dazzle the society ports with their warlike tr#pping*. But It ts true that more than one old sru dog und Indian tighter
deprecates the war game.
These old fellows, who sit shout In their clubs reading accounts of the brilliant doings on the seaboard, are very sarcastic ; In their allusions to the maneuvers. They | know, as all Washington knows, that the | whole game Is one for the edification of 1 Congress, and that the net result will be | a series of reports upon which to base de- | mantis lor larger appropriations. Congress cottdng tresh from the people. Is an annual bull In a china Shop to the depart, ments. It cuts down allowances, orders new work that stirs up the animals In heartless fashion, anil enacts laws with beautiful disregard of the feelings ot
those who must execute them.
An Uncertain Quality.
“You can't tell what those fellows will
do.” said an assistant secretary the other day. “We go ahead and do our best, and pray God that Congress will not rip
us all up when It meets again." The war game, apparently. Is a shrewd
move on the part of the two departments to educate public sentiment preparatory to asking Congress to do the handsome thing. Congress may take the hint—and then’ again. It may not. It Is Just as liable to so frame the army and naval
prtatlon bills as to prevent the

The growing of plants successfully Involves some knowledge ot their requirements. as to soil, moisture, heat, light and air. as well as the method by which
they may be propagated.
Soil.
To know In what kind of soil a plant will make Its beet growth is to possess one of the Important secrets of plant culture. For example, one would not expect a cactus to thrive If potted In a heavy, call sell. It must have a light, sandy aitd warm soil. Neither can one grow ferns In a close, compact soil; they must have a loose, fibrous one. We must copy to some extent, at least, the natural en-
vironments of the plants. Heat, Light and Air. .
With respect to heat, light and air. It Is quite essential that we know the epil-' mum temperature for each ciasa of plants. Such plants as the violet, pansy, mignonette and many others are impatient of too much heat. A night temperature of 35 degrees to 42 degrees, with a rise of about ten degrees during the day, is umpie for these plants. They also require plenty of light and air. The carnation, geranium, cyclamen, stevia, azalia, ehrysanthe: primrose, calia, heliotrope, spin many others, do well in a temp

To Dehorn Calveg. Th* process of taking the horns from the calf has been recommended because th* operation Is almost painless at that time. Actual experience has found that considerable loss Is sustained where dehorning Is done on large animals. Feeders are paying from 15 to 30 cents per hundred pounds more for young steers without horns than they pay for the same class with horns. If the horns are taken from a yearling or two-year-old weighing 800 pounds, the loas would amount to at least 32, besides the risk of losing one or two animals Is greater with large animals.

Curing Cow Peas.
Cow peaa have been extensively grown In Indiana this year. Many farmers are growing this crop for the first time. If Intended for forage the cow pea Is cut with m mower and handled very much as clover hay would be handled while curing. The vlnei contain much more of the plant juices than does clover, and they, therefore, require a much longer time to cure. The cow pea, however, is not seriously Injured by rains as Is cut clover.

“So fir as possible, negotiations are be-

titles In France. However, no treaty will be made until these titles have been finally approved by the President. It tuny be some months before the abstract of title Is ready for submission to the President, matter is one of monumental propor-
nd great Intricacy. 11
During the past year, twenty-three varieties of winter wheat have been grown for experimental purposes at Purdue University agricultural experiment station. The results In yields from these varieties are given In- the following table:

Poultry Notes.
The best time to sell is when the stock
Is ready.
Market stock can always find a market
at some price.
Pure bred stock must watt for a buyer Sharp grit Is very necessary for fowls, ecnectally when feeding whole grain. The chaff from the *traw stack makes the very best litter for the shut-in fowl*
In winter.
When the man of the house takes to chickens that household always prosper* but where he take* to nothing but corn and hogs you always find i disheartened looking place. Road dust Is not the best thing for the dust bath. It haa too much filth mixed UP ld l s U t 'th7'b h . t dlrt fr0m ,hP Kanl< ’ n or The hen house should be put in repair early In the fall to be ready against any sudden change In the weather. Chicks In close, stuffy coops wet and smelling bad. brings on disease. Have the house ready when they need it. Grit boxes and feed troppers are the same In principle. The main feature Is In having a storage apartment to hold the grain or grit or oyster shells or whatever Is put in them, and having a small opening at the bottom and a small space for th* feed to run out Into as the fowl eats it. Belt-feeders, made on this same plan vary In slse from a cigar box to hold grit for small chicks, on up through the different grades of size to a big corn crib around which a whols car load of fattening cattle gathered. Tha principle Is the same in all self-feed era.

Before placing the cutting In the props- | gating bed of sand, the latter shoulld bo well firmed; this enables the operator io open up a clean groove In the sand, with I an old knife or thin piece of wood, for I the reception of the cuttings. A groove [ an Inch tn depth Is sufficient. The cuttings are then inserted In this groove : rather thickly, varying with the class of plant from a quarter of an Inch to two > inches apart.

Potting.
As soon as the cutting* are well rooted, they arc usually potted off Into small pots, generally a two or two and a half Inch pot. or else are boxed, that is, they are transplanted rather thickly Into shallow boxes of medium rich soil. The operator should never omtt a thorough watering after any of these operation*, .n order to settle the soil around the delicate root* of the plant.
Seed*.
In growing plants from seeds, practically th* same rules should be observed; In fact, the seedlings require more car*-

On twenty-two of these varieties an accurate record of the number of bushels of grain per acre, and the number of pounds of straw per acre was kept. On the last-named variety. Dawson's Golden chaff, no record of the straw was kept. The amount of land given to this variety Wa* an even acre. / Dawson's Golden chaff Is a smooth wheat, with a very stiff straw, and It stands up equal to any variety we have grown. The Hungarian wheats are bearded, and mature rather later than the other varieties. The straw Is rather light, which permits their going down rather badly. Two varieties, namely. Pontlng. (t>51, and Fuit* U. 8. D.. were rather badly winter killed. q This station can furnish seed of Michigan amber and Velvet chaff, and a limited amount of Dawson's Golden chaff, at 31 a bushel, bagged, f. o. b. E«fayette, where more than four bushels are taken. For less than that amount, *1.16 a bushel will be charged. F. 8. JOHNSTON, Associate Agriculturist, Purdue University Experiment Station.
