PRESIDENT ; TAFT SPOKE PULASKI AND KOSCIUSKO, WHO .HELPED UNFURL THE BANNER OF FREEDOM. . IMMORTALIZED AT THE CAPITAL. Washington, May 12. President , Taft yesterday paid tribute to the for eign soldiers who helped the United States to win Independence. He ati tended the unvellinar dnrlnar thtt ftr. noon of the statues of Pulaski' and Koscluszko (Kosciusko), the former at Thirteenth street- and Fensylvania av- ; enue and the , latter In Lafayette square ' ' ' ' Mr. Taft delivered the eulogy at the ' Pulaski statue; while Secretary of War Dickinson was the. principal speaker at the Koscluszko , ceremonies. President Taft said: "It is Idle to spedilate what might have been the success of American arms In the war of the revolution had we not been assist ed by foreign nations and subjects of foreign countries. It is sufficient for us to note that those who assisted us In that struggle of ours for independence and liberty contributed materially to our success, and it Is appropriate that we should give enduring . evidence of our gratitude to those who r sympathized with us in that struggle and aided us in bringing about the independence which has made the prc- . gress of our country to its present ataa-a twinnlhlA. America Is Grateful. "Hence to Lafayette, to Rochambeau, to Von Steuben, to DeKalb to Pulaski, to Koscluszko and to others it is fitting that there should be erected : monuments like this to have it understood that America is grateful and holds in sweet memory those who : came to her in her hour of danger, and of trouble. "Brigadier General Count " Caslmir Pulaski yr&n the son of Count Joseph Pulaski of Poland, who was the chief Justice of that republic, great Jurist but one whov after the calmest consldm LU ...... ..t ' An ceived it his duty to organize a con federacy to maintain its Independence, and ' in that Btruggle he enlisted not only many of the Polish, leaders but his three sons and a nephew. Of those five men four perished in the struggle in Poland. Only one Caslmir, escaped to Turkey, thence to France, where, under the Influence of our Franklin, he was Induced to come to this country to give us the benefit of his skill of arms, excelling especially in the branch of the cavalry. . Army Had No Cavalry. "When he came here the American army practically had no cavalry, and to him, with the permission of Washington and with the vote of the congress, was turned over the question of the organisation of a cavalry force. At Brandy wine and at Germantown he showed the mettle that was In him. The insufficiency of the American cavalry was such that he was hampered in the movements that he sought to matte, out in m uresu wmier v alley Forge, at the head of such cavalry mm tkava m. wlttt tila arirmlirt era AT Trenton, by foraging and '. by harass' ing the enemy, he occasionally threw a gleam of sunshine Into that darkened Vefuge of the American troops. . 1 "Subsequently organising " an ; independent legion -known as 'Pulaski's Legion.' he fought his way from north to south until finally, after , taking part in the campaign 3 about Charleston, he lost his life In a brilliant charge at the siege of Savannah, and was, as the distinguished orator' who preceded e; me said, suitably burled In the bosom of the ocean from a frigate of the United .

Of Interest to PLEA FOR THE, TOAD. Indiana Entomologist Says Littte Frog Eats Bad Insects. ' B. W. Douglass, state entomologist for Indiana, who is the bitter foe of every insect that lives on the fruit and foliage of the state and the friend of' every agent that tends to destroy such pests, is out with a plea to the farmers and gardeners to protect the American toad, or Mr. Bufo Americana, to be explicit. In making laws to protect insect eating birds, observes Mr. Douglass, no ope has ever proposed, to prevent legally the enthusiastic small boy from killing as many toads as he cares to. The plea will appear In the annual report from the entomological department, which has gone to the state printer and which Mr. Douglass hopes to have in the hands of a large number of farmers and gardeners by the time early spring preparations begin for the 1910 crops. r' "As a matter of fact, says Mr. Douglass, "the common toad does more to rid our fields and gardens of noxious insects than many of the feathered songsters of which we bear so much. But simply that he is ugly emphatically and most unmistakably ugly the toad has all manner of defamation and libel heaped upon him. "Early superstitions have charged the toad with about all the vicious qualities possible for one creature to possess. Some of these traditions, bowever, are of such a nature as to render the toad an individual to be avoided rather than to be sought and killed. But In spite of his ugliness the little animal is about as harmless as any .we can find in our woods and fields, and as a destroyer of insects his value has been established beyond a doubt Ninety-eight per cent of the food of the toad consists of animal matter, and of this the greater part is injurious insects." Mr. Douglass advances the idea that farmers and gardeners should provide artificial ponds or water places in their fields and gardens where the toad may breed. The little animal possesses the home Instinct and when taken from the ponds or creeks and placed in a garden or field is likely to desert his new quarters and return to the old. To obviate this Mr. Douglass believes the gardeners and farmers should provide breeding places in order to make the fields and gardens the actual home of the toads. In addition to the good which may result from having the toads feel at home In the fields and gardens, Mr. Douglass sees another good in the hatchery idea that of robbing the children of their propensity for slaying the toads whenever they find them. He believes that the average boy, by watching the development of the little animal through the tadpole stage to that of the adult toad, will soon have a scientific interest in the toad which will Insure it life and protection. This protection, the entomologist observes, is something the farmer and gardener cannot afford to disregard in these days of constant and rapid increase of insects which prey upon farm and garden products. OUR 1909 BUMPER CROP. How It Would Look In Bulk Alongside a City Skyscraper. Last year's crops in America, while not establishing a record, were considerably in excess of the previous year. The corn was the bulkiest of the products. Next to corn came the production of oats with a huge total of near J. ors BUMF-KB 1909 CHOP. lya billion bushels, while wheat came next, sufficient to supply every man, .woman and child in this country with a loaf and a half of bread per day. The United States led the world in the production of corn. The previous year Russia's oat production was greater, but last year" estimate was 176,000,000 bushels more for the United States than that of 1908. ; Dairy Profits. Profits in dairying do not depend so much upon the number of cows kept, but upon the kind. This fact is being realized more and more as the dairy industry Increases. One way to increase the acreage of a farm is to increase the fertility of the soil of the farm. Similarly one way to increase a dairy herd is to increase the cows producing power. - An Aged Hen. At Hazelhurst, Mass.. there was burled with appropriate ceremonies by Mrs. Miles Cannon and her children their ..favorite hen, Polly, seventeen years old. She was believed to be the oldest hen In the world. According to Polly's owner, she laid more than S.C00 eggs and raised thirty-five broods of chickens. Dairy Products of France.

the Farmers WHEN PLANTS ARE FROZEN. Hints on Restoring Window Garden Flowers to Health. During the winter the amateur in gardening has much to contend with, and not the least of the evils is frost, especially where an endeavor is made to keep more or less tender plants through the cold, dull months in a poorly heated greenhouse or frame. . Fortunately science has come to our aid and taught us a few things concerning the effects of frost on tender plants, and with these principles fully grasped we are in a position to combat frost, Plants which are kept as dry as possible during a spell of frosty weather without being allowed to suffer from this cause will withstand successfully far more frost than the same kind of plants whose tissues are gorged with liquid, and science has also taught us that the greatest mischief is caused by rapid thawing. - To grasp the above facts it may be as well before proceeding further to Just consider briefly what really happens when a plant gets frozen. It is now generally known that a plant, like the human body, is made up of tiny cells, each of which, of course, has its own walls. Under ordinary conditions and when a plant has abundance of moisture at its disposal these cells are turgid with liquid. Now, when liquid becomes frozen it is one of the laws of nature that expansion takes place, and in the case of that in the plant cells no exception to this law is made. This expansion, then, results in a rupture of the plant cell walls, which under ordinary conditions of thawing causes the plant to collapse. It has been proved that when a plant Is thawed very slowly the plant cells are able to absorb the moisture which has been forced by expansion through the cell walls, and the rupture is to a great extent made good. ; Assuming that the plants have not been watered more often than is abso lutely necessary and that one morning we visit the greenhouse or frames to find that frost has reached them, we know that if they are to be saved thawing must be done very slowly. First of all, we must take care that the heating apparatus, if any is used, does not get into working order again, and if there is any likelihood of a burst of sunshine shade the structure with thick mats or anything else that can be quickly secured. Then procure an abundant supply of Ice cold water and syringe or otherwise drench the plants with this until frost is grad ually femoved from the tissues. This will probably mean very cold bands and chattering teeth, but It Is either this or losing the plants. For several days subsequently the plants should be kept as cool as possible without allowing frost to reach them again. PATENTS NEW HAY PRESS. Makes Two Bales at Time and Averages Six Hundred Bales a Day. Theodule Guidry, a resident of Church Point, La., who for many years has been interested in farming and improving the devices used by farm ers, has received a patent on a new double baler hay press. This press is unique in its construction, having done away with the large springs ordinarily in use on such balers and decreased the draft to a minimum. Experiments with models have demonstrated a capacity of fifty or sixty bales an hour. It is constructed with a baling chamber on both ends of the press and compresses the hay by a plunger working on a crank shaft past the feed box on each end. The crank shaft is connected to a beam to which one horse Is hitched for power, and at each round of the horse a stroke is made on two different bales, one on each end. It is possible with this model to get a bale of any desired weight, the same being controlled by two springs attached to a movable side of the baler which regulates the compression of bales. Mr. Guidry says he thinks the baler will beat anything on the market for speed and simplicity, 'and he is now negotiating with manufacturing companies for its construction and sale. Orchards Worth 91,000 Per Acre. A feature at a recent fruit show was an exhibit of Nova Scotia apples and a printed statement showing the profits of fruit growing in that province, especially in the Corn wa I lis and Annapolis provinces. The average estimate of cultivating, fertilizing, spraying and pruning per acre was $25, and the cost of picking and ' packing the fruit is estimated at 50 cents, per barrel. The yield reported from eight to ten orchards shows an average for the past fire years of from 100 to 165 bar' rels of shipping apples per ' acre, sold at an ' average price varying " from $150 to $2.50 per barrel during the five years. The gross returns per acrerange from $190 to $304 and the net returns from $117 to $219. The average net returns for all the orchards for the five years were $174 per acre, a sum sufficient to pay 15.75 per cent on $1,000. Accordingly a valuation of $1,000 per acre for these orchards seems not excessive. Quick Improvement of Qweet Corn. As a result of several years selection Nelson S. Stone of Massachusetts report ed-Jast season sweet corn which matured . nearly a week earlier than other early kinds which he had tried, and the ears were almost double the size of other early varieties. The improvement was made by choosing the earliest ears and then :: using , those grains that grew on the middle of the cob and then still further selecting- the largest and best shaped grains.

ECONOMY, IND.

Economy, Ind.; May 12. Miss Ruth Jackson was the victim of a surprise Monday afternoon, on her fourteenth birthday anniversary. There was quite a number of her girl chums swooped down on her with beat wishes and pretty presents, that she might know that she is not forgotten by her friends. Lois Macey, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Macey of West River, was out playing- Monday after noon in the edge of the woods near the home and she saw something that looked like a coon with a tin can over its head, and on closer inspection it proved to be a ground hog. As the Macey family had : no dog, Miss Lots ran to her grandpa Macey 's to borrow a dog to help kill the animal and it was speedily done.
