FARM AND GARDEN

To have your cows milk long, milk them clean. On account of them lying so close together the shelter for hogs need not he as tight as for other stock. A low knee is desirable in a horse, enabling the animal to make a long stride more quickly than when the knee is set high up. Care and feed are essential factors in making good stock. It will not “Just grow,” like Topsy, but must be looked after at every stage of the game. Arrange to put a few windows in that dark barn. But few stables are well enough lighted. Proper sanitation demands it. Sunlight is a great germicide. See that your stable has plenty of it. Hens will eat eggs whenever broken ones are placed within their reach. It is natural for them to eat anything that is good to eat and in proper shape for them to eat. To stop them from eating eggs, therefore, is to keep broken eggs out of their reach. No one has actual knowledge of the .value of fall plowing in a garden until he has tried it. When fall plowed the soil Can be prepared early in the spring and much depends on early vegetables. Make the garden rich and then plow it lu the fall, and note the beneficial next year. If you try this plan once, you’ll stay with it. •frauds are still going the rounds. One of the last seen is an old one which prpmises to increase the quantity of butter by adding something to the milk. Those who take time to think will readily see that butter cannot be added to milk. The amount of butter fat taken from milk depends upon the amount It contains. It is impossible to obtain something from nothing. A wind puff on a horse is a distended condition of a sack which contains synovia or Joint oil. It is caused by a sprain. A wind gall is liable to cause serious lameness at any time. The trouble is curable, however, when not due to a faulty conformation, and when taken in its incipiency. Treatment consists in rest, firing and blistering, and shoeing with a high heel shoe. The scientific man can analyze the food the cow eats, but the cow has to rely on the taste or palatabillty. The dairyman will feed a combination of feeds such as he has, or will exchange some of them for that which he does not have, and he bases his reason on results rather than analysis. It scarcely ever pays to economize In feed. The animal that has been fed liberally is the first to get to market and Mill bring the best price. When failure results, the best thing to do is to see what was the cause and remove it. Be reasonable about such things. In most of our farm operations we do not know what our products are costing us. A very small percentage of farmers know what products cost them. They grow their feed, feed it without stint, and M-hen a sale is made they feel that they have made some money in the transaction. A very good friend of mine says he keeps a system of books that is nil right. He counts his money ot the beginning of the year and again at the close, and if he has more at the close than he had at the beginning he has made the difference. This Is all right as far as it goes, but it is not satisfactory.—lona Homestead. Most people know that plowing Is done to loosen the Boil, to reduce sods and to admit air, to cover trash and numerous other things. Sometimes ploMing makes soils too loose for a time and M-e need the harrow or field roller to compact It, nlthough sometimes a heavy rainfall will bring about the desired result. We know that original material near the surface is necessary, and land that Is not rich in this material Is not benefited much by deep ploM-ing. Again, It Is safe to say that nothing robs land of moisture any more than the stirring plow. The live or six Inches of surface soli is turned up nnd broken In the air and moisture that may be needed veqr much Is sometimes carried off rapidly by evaporation. The student of the present time needs to study his soli and its requirements to knoM’ when and how to plow'. The dairy, farbera of Denmark have Invaded the English markets to such un extent that they have n-ell-nigh crowded out the English farmers. More foreign than domestic butter is consumed in England, nnd most of it comes from Denmark. About nlneteuths of Denmark’s butter export goes to English markets, and the amount Is over two hundred million pounds, for which nbout $50,<j00,000 was returned to the thrifty Danish dairymen. It is said that some of this butter was really made by Danish companies operating In Siberia and practicing the well-known scientific and co-operative methods whkh hsvo caused the industry to forge to tl»

front in Denmark. The egg trade has followed close on the heels of the dairy business, the producers having organized into exporting societies, and now shipping over nine-tenths of the country’s egg products to England. Experiments have shown that deep plowing on some soils is the reverse of beneficial. It cannot be too plainly or strongly Impressed upon the mind that all plant food is only available when in a liquid form. It does not matter bow much plant food there Is in soil, If It is not reduced to liquid form it cannot be assimilated by plants, hence the necessity for keeping some moisture in the soil, which is often caused to disappear by too deep plowing. All stiff soils will be benefited by deep plowing, while light sandy soils would not receive any benefit and might receive temporary injury if plowed ten inches deep. Feeding for Growth. That our farm animals are overfed with corn no one questions and one of the most difficult things to accomplish at the present time is to induce farmers to see wherein it is profitable to cut down on the corn diet. Corn is grown with comparative ease while other feed stuffs must, perhaps,? be bought, so that it is natural to feed the corn. It would not be sound advice to advocate the selling of the corn and buying other grains with the proceeds for the feeding of swine because the margin of profit in selling swine is so small, but on the average farm it is quite possible to utilize other feed stuffs and odds ’ and ends through the early period of the pig’s life so that It will grow bone and muscle and thus be in shape to fatten at the smallest possible expense. It is surely profitable to buy a reasonable amount of bran to use with the skim milk in feeding young pigs, while the same plan might be ruinous after the pig was six months old.

Cleanliness In Feeding Ponltry. Do not throw the soft food for the fowls on the ground, but give it in troughs, or in any suitable vessel into Mhlch the fowls cannot place their feet; but hard food, Buch . as the grains, may be scattered with advantage. Give the food preferably in the yard or the fields, and change the feeding place frequently. When there is not a pure stream of water, supply the fowls dally with fresh water, which should be placed In the shade in a vessel into which they cannot get their feet. Bear in mind that the germs of disease are easily carried from an infected farm on the soles of the boots and feet of the attendant Some diseases are invariably produced in dirty surroundings, and they can best be avoided by cleanliness and disinfection. These preventive measures will guard against many diseases to which poultry are liable, chiefly roup, gapes, tuberculosis and diseases of the comb and skin, nnd will also improve the general condition of the fowls, as well as materially increase their market value.

Some Creamery Swindle. When the creamery swindles that are now being worked in various parts of Missouri have been exposed, the exposure will probably make communities really adapted to dairying overcautious about engaging in the business. Prof. R. M. Washburn, of the Missouri Agricultural College, who has wide experience in the creamer}' business, gives the following information that will help communities to determine when it is wise to build u creamery: “Whenever the milk from at least 100 cows cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely forthcoming at once,” says Prof. Washburn, “the creamery had better not be built. The cost of making butter will be about 6 cents per pound, and no farmer company can stand such expense. If - 000 or 600 cow's eun be secured in the flve-mile radius, the cost of making a pound of butter can be reduced to 11% or 4 cents, which is a probable basis of business, and the creamery will benefit the community. A good little creamery that can handle this amount of business can be built and equipped for $2,000 or $2,500, if the community will let the ‘creamery promoter’ alone and buy an outfit of some reputable manufacturer. If a cheese factory is preferred, for the same number of cows it ought not to cost more than SI,OOO or $1,200.” A community which does its own thinking and organizing can establish a creamery very mtich better and at very much less cost by dealing direct with those who manufacture creamery supplies. There nre several firms in this branch of the business, and they are not hard to find. They will furnish estimates and plans of creameries suitable for any. conditions, and send men tu erect the plant to the satisfaction of the buyer, and give all necessary guarantees for the quality and durability of the goods which are sold. The creamery operator gets his money, and then it is no concern of his whether the plant succeeds or falls; bat the manufacturer is responsible, and stands by bis goods.—Bt Paul Dispatch.

STRUGGLE FOR PEACE.

Jtpaa Making Desperate Efforts t* Force Russia to Cry “Enough.” A Tokio report declares that the Japanese people are anxiously awaiting the coming of the Baltic fleet, so that Togo may crush it. Confidence of this sort has its home in Japan. What Togo did to the Port Arthur squadron will be repeated upon the arrival of the Baltic fleet, Tokio believes beyond a doubt. London encourages this belief. Moreover, the view is largely held in America that Japan will preserve her naval supremacy. The reason that Japan is a favorite does not lie in the number and superiority of her ships, but in the excellence of their manipulation and in the greater effectiveness of Japanese gunnery. The M-orld at large has a small opinion of the Russians as sea fighters. The North sea incident hurt Russian naval prestige almost as seriously as the dismal show of the Port Arthur sqnadron against Togo and the Vladivostok fleet against Knmimura. Moreover, the Baltic fleet will arrive in Asiatic waters in a fouled and racked condition, and, from- all we know, at'a time of year when it will be impossible to make Vladivostok for cleaning and repairs. And yet, says a correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, Tokio is wrong to regard the destruction of the Baltic fleet as certain as its arrival within striking distance of the capable Japanese admiral. Togo himself has been weakened by the hard service of the year, and his losses, while small in ratio to the damage administered, ace at the same time greater than the world has been given to understand. He w r ill have to face a preponderance of battleships and a sea force that has everything to win and no shores threatened or armies cut off if it lose —a force that has the example of its predecessor by which to profit and a prize of incalculable value for victory. With Togo, on the contrary, rests the life of his nation. A thousand junks will rush into Port Arthur if he lift the blockade. If he is whipped the Japanese army is cut off; the shores of the island are left unprotected and commerce, the vitality of Japanese finance, is destroyed. Togo is the pericardium of Japan. Tokio believes that the destruction of the Baltic fleet will .put Russia in a frame of mind in which she will gladly listen to proposals of peace on terms satisfactory to Japan. The Jiji Shimpo, highly representative of the Japanese press, urges Japanese arms to push the conflict with such fury that the enemy will have to sue for peace. Tokio prays that the continuation of the battle of the Shakhe river will result in the complete shattering of Kuropatkin’s forces, so that Russia will be forced to desist from hostilities. Japan wants peace badly. She is terrified as the game unfolds, mile after mile. The monster that sh» has driven and pummeled will not stay Mhipned, but quietly and without nerves or noise, augments and returns to the fight. Japan perceives the unsubstantiality of England’s support; that it is of the press and not of the treasure house. English bankers make her pay exorbitant interest for the money she borroM’s. England is not yet in her dotage; she is for England still. Japan is fighting for peace, and fighting magnificently; but her enemy, unless rent by civil M r ar, will not be the one to cry “enough!” This is not Russia’s M r ay. She knows that years will crush Japan if her troops cannot. She realizes vividly that if she lies down to Japan now the integrity of her domain will not long survive China’s. dr

The Comic Side of The News

A winter which will try the soul of the innocent bystander is threatened in Muk den. Turkeys are so plentiful this year that their price will be higher than ever before. In looking for a place to make his last stand Gen. Stoessel finds the standing room scarce. Gen. Nogi lias a faint idea as to whera he will eat his Christmas dinner if he cares to do so. Russia is going in for reform and can stand a lot of it without feeling any particular surfeit. In taking Port Arthur the finishing touches appear to be about as difficult as the preliminaries. St. Louis wants to run the fair whils the weather permits. That should be al; winter. along the Pike. In other words, ’Gene Ware is going to mount his old reliable Pegasus and canter back to Kansas. Perhaps Port Arthur has had so much practice in not falling that it does not know how to do the falling act. Everybody has to tread lightly In the vicinity of the French cabinet these days, for the slightest jar might upset it. It la a pity that Marry Thaw's mother did not have a barrel stave at hand and the ability and Inclination to use it.

INDIANA INCIDENTS.

RECORD OF EVENTB OF THE PAST WEEK. Richmond Man Finds His Demented Father Osteopaths of State Have Taken Ont No License—Odd Fellows Fleet Officers—Accidents to Hunters. —-------1 ■gJJil.g. - Rev. Ellwood O. Ellis, a Friends minister from Richmond who created a sensation last summer, and who later escaped from the Oxford, Ohio sanitarium, where he had been taken for treatment, lias been found by his son, Arthur Ellis. The latter says that he located his fath-er-in Cincinnati a few days ago and bad taken him to Fairmount, where he is now under the care of relatives. The mental condition of Rev. Ellis remains unchanged, it is asserted. Election of Indiana Odd Fellows. The Grand Lodge of Indiana, I. O. O. F„ met in Indianapolis and elected these officers: Grand master, Edwin Farrer, liusliville: deputy grand master, It. H. Hollywood, Indianapolis; graud secretary, W. H. Leedy, Indianapolis; grand treasurer, W. A. Morris, Frankfort. Alexander Johnson of Indianapolis was chosen representative to the sovereign grand lodge and Benjamin Franklin of the same city grand trustee. No License for Osteopaths. The action of the Elkhart County Medical Association in having one of its members file a criminal complaint against Dr. E. C. Crow, an osteopath, for practicing without a license, has brought out the fact that none of the forty osteopaths in the State, has secured a license, because the license requirements provide that all applicants must be graduates of -schools of four-year courses, while osteopathic schools have but three-year courses. Hammond Hunters Fatally Hurt. Charles Quake was accidentally shot by Fred Bloede while hunting quail near Hammond. Both are wealthy farmers. Bloede shifted his gun from his shoulder to his arm and accidentally pressed the trigger, the entire charge lodging in Quake’s neck, inflicting probably fatal injuries. All Over the State. The Citizens’ Gas Company has drilled in a good gas well on the west side of Amboy. Robert E. Miller, a salesman of Austin, Ill.,.dropped dead in a hotel in Mount Vernon. Sherman Harter was fatally injured at Boonville by the accidental discharge of a gun while hunting. While feeding a corn shredder Sidney Carter of Chandler had his left arm so badly lacerated that amputation was necessary. Mrs. Mary Gooch, aged C>3, died from heart disease brought on by running to catch a train at Greenup for her home in Terre Haute, Ind. Mrs. Samuel Ililey, 40 years old, was burned to-death in a fire 'Which destroyed her home in Greensburg. Mrs. Riley was alone when the fire started. Petersburg sportsmen report a scarcity of quail, although quite a number have been bagged already. The rabbit crop is larger this year than was ever known.

The Washburne lad fell downstairs when a baby, crushing Ins skull in on his brain. For years lie has been unable to walk and was finally threatened with becoming deaf and blind. Six months ago his mother adopted the system of sitting by tlie boy’s bed an hour each evening after lie retired, following the treatment of suggestion. I>r.

The company was but partially protected by a bond and demanded that Mr. Graston make good the difference of $2,101), inasmuch as the shortage occurred under him. Graston contended that the company exacted a bond from 'Conpstick and that the latter reported to the general office direct and refusal to pay a penny, lie was given the alternative of paying the difference dr resigning and chose the latter. Will Baer of North Vernon succeeds Grastou. Milton Clements and his wife Barbara, the couple who have been committing thefts while riding about the country on a bicycle, were sentenced in Terre Haute police court. He will serve from one to three years in the State's prison, ami she will be in jail sixty days. Uiley Robes, who was arrested nnd placed in jail at Newcastle on a charge, of arson, confessed that he was implicates! in the plot which resulted in the wrecking with dynamite of the Friends’ church at Hnysville nml the burning of Asa Sample's barn at Kuigbtstowu, two rears ago.

CHICAGO'S HUGE SUBWAY PLANS

Boro* Once Intended for Wire* Are to Become Arteries of Traffic. , A complete revolution of the methods of handling the freight business of prac ; tlcally all of the railroad** having terminals in Chicago is promised by the Chicago Subu-ay Company, which has been incorporated in. New Jersey, with a capitalization of 000 and immediately came into possession of the Chicago Tunnel Company. Behind this definite announcement of purpose is said to lie a strong possibility that ultimately the o street railway systems of the city will be provided with subways in the heart of the city, and thus further relieve the congestion which has been complained of for years. It is strongly hinted that the construction of a subway directly above the tunnels is contemplated at some time, and that a controlling interest in the Illinois Tunnel Company M-as achieved in order to- avoid litigation and embarrassment during the construction period. Here are some of the things promised when the full scope of the scheme is in operation: Freight traffic Mill be diverted from the streets to the tunnels, and the streets thus relieved of the dirt incidental to teaming. Railroad freight yards M-ill be removed ten or fifteen miles from the central part of the city, thus leaving valuable real estate available for other business uses. All freight M-ill bo handled more expeditiously, the cars to which freight has been transferred at the outer yards coming into the city by the tunnels and electric motors. With the passing of freight locomotives the city M-ill be relieved of 80 per cent of the smoke nuisance. The necessity for tearing up pavements will be practically overcome when telegraph and telephone wires, gas pipes, M-ater pipes and other public utilities are placed within the tunnels. Mail M-ifi be handled more quickly when letters nnd parcels can be dropped directly Into the tunnels through mail boxes, and thence conveyed directly to the postofflee.

FULLER MAY RESIGN.

Chief Justice Slated to Quit Ills Office After March 5, Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller of the Supreme Court of the United States plans, it is said, to resign his office on March 5, 1905, the day after he has administered the oath of office to President Theodore Roosevelt. In this event it is conceded that Secretary of War

FULLER AND HIS GRANDCHILD.

Taft M-ill he appointed by the President to the vacancy on the Supreme bench. Chief Justice Fuller M-ill be 72 years old on Feb. 11, 1905, and M-ill then be entitled to retire from the bench and enjoy a salary of $10,500 a year as long as he lives. No chief justice of the Supreme Court has ever resigned. All have died on the bench. Chief Justice Fuller has administered the oath of office to four Presidents, Harrison, Cleveland and McKinley tM-ice. fie M-as appointed April 30, 1888.

THE RAILROADS.

Petroleum shipments from the coast of Texas during August amounted to 1,104,151 barrels. Additional reports ore received nbnost every week of the adoption of electric motive power by steam railroads for part of their service. Mississippi authorities have granted a new charter to the Natchez and Gulf railroad, which is planned to extend from Natchez to Gulfport. The telegraph block system has been put in use on the Cleveland and Pittsburg, between Cleveland, Ohio, and Alliance, fifty-seven miles. A machine shop containing thirteen acres under one roof has been planned by the Louisville and Nashville for construction at Iyouisville. It will cost $2,500,000. Journals of the lumber trade express considerable satisfaction and encouragement at the number of orders placed by railroad companies within the last few weeks for lumber. A construction company has been formed in New York to build the recently incorporated Mobile and Western Alabama railroad, for which surveys have already been made. The gross enrniugs of the railroads of Alnbnina for the year ended June 30, 1004, were $23.222,820.72* compared to $27,015,057.99 for the previous twelve months, the increase being $007,210.72. Rules affecting every railroad system In the United States were discussed by the American Railway Association nt its fall meeting in Philadelphia. Out of a membership of 273 line*, operating 217,372 miles of railway, 90 lines were represented by 130 delegates. Nearly $500,000 was spent by the Ix>ubrrille and Nashville daring 1904 for equipment. Of this, $213,302 went for freight cars; $105,972 for locomotive*,and the balance for passenger car equipment, steam wrecking care, and machinery passenger cars, and 2,944 freight care bonght.

SECRETARY HAY TO REMAIN IN THE PRESIDENT’S CABINET.

John Hay, who will continue in the cabinet as Secretary of State, was born at Salem, ind., Oct. 8, 1838, was graduated frofti Brown University in 1858, and later was admitted to the Illinois bar. Mr. Hay served as one of the private secretaries of President Lincoln. He also M-as a colonel .of volunteers and assistant adjutant general. He has been secretary of legation at Paris, Madrid and Vienna, and in 1897-8 was ambassador to England, previous to which time he held the office of first assistant Secretary of State. He has been Secretary of State of the United States since 1898.

MYSTERY OF AUTO RIDE.

Professional Chauffeur Slain on a Lonely Country Road. Iri the darkness of a lonely country road, John W. Bate, Jr., a professional chauffeur and son of a wealthy man, prominent in the automobile world, was glaiu the Other night. The scene was on a road paralleling the Joliet electric line, two and a half miles southeast-of Lemont, 111. There Bate was found leaning foi-M-ard in the front seat of the automobile with a bullet wound in the back of his head. The automobile had been turned about. A revolver lay on the scat. A carefully laid scheme is believed by many to have preceded the murder. Solution of the midnight crime, presenting elements of mystery u-orthy the genius of a Sherlock Holmes, seemed to baffle the efforts of the police. That young Bate was the victim of bank robbers, an angry passenger or a pedestrian was advanced. The woman motive was taken by Morris Stokes, employed with Bate, who says that for weeks Bate had been receiving gushing love letters from an infatuated society woman who had ridden with him. An unsigned letter found upon the body evidently had been M-ritten by a jilted woman. The police theory m-.-is that two men planning a bank robbery tried to force Bute to carry them to Joliet and that he rebelled. This rebellion, in the minds of the police, determined the safe blowers to make way with a man who had become dangerous to them. Therefore, after a bitter quarrel, they shot and killed the chauffeur M-hile he was bending over his steering apparatus. It is urged in opposition to this theory that the robbers and murderers did not denude the machine of identification evidence- —the number 278. Daniel Canary, Bate’s employer, after he had heard all the details, supported this theory. Opponents of the desperado theory contended that Bate was slain by some one over M-hom he had almost run his machine. This is the view taken by the coroner of Will county, who contends that Bate had been running his automobile recklessly, had probably lost his way after taking a fare to Lemont and nar-roM-ly escaped killing a pedestrian. “Everybody knows the residents of this locality are quick enough to shoot,” said the coroner’s assistant, “and it requires no big stretch of the imagination to find a farmer of this neck of the woods pulling out a gun and taking a shot at an automobile w-hiclnrhad nearly run over him.” It is believed that the chauffeur was shot M-hile the machine was still in motion and that the person who fired the shot experienced difficulty in bringing the machine to a standstill.

CHURCHES JOIN TO SAVE BOYS.

Reign of Crime in .Brooklyn Starts Unique Religions Crusade. The misdeeds of hundreds of young men connected with well-known families in the Bedford section of Brooklyn, N. Y., which began several years ago by the formation of the “Bedford and finally led to many of them and their recruits being connected with criminal cases, much to the disgust of residents in that quarter, has caused the inauguration of a remarkable religious campaign for the purification of the youths who passed their time about the street corners. The first night of the “campaign of evangelization,” ns it is called, began with a street parade in which tramped 2,000 men with banners, with the band of the Twenty-third regiment playing hymns at the fore. The mile of frockcoated pnraders moved through Bedford avenue to Hancock street, where hung a great banner. There they held an openair meeting. Ministers from fifty churches of all Protestant denominations were in attendance and many of them made short addresses. Every church in the district ia joining in the movement. The street corner meeting ended, tha brass band again beaded the procession, and it marched to the Ceutral Presbyterian church, where a meeting for men had been called. The church has a capacity of 1,500. Every seat was taken and hundreds were turned away. Six ministers made short addresses, telling the purposes of the movement, which, it was announced, will continue throughout the winter.

Marvelous Escape from Injury.

Joseph Schmidt of EdwardsTille, Mo., recently had a thrilling experience white at work for the Edwardsrille Pressed Brick Company. Ms was caught by a pulley belt, raised to the ceiling, jerked and whirled around and beaten againat the wall, nntil nearly all his clothing was torn from him, and then hurled fifteen feet through a door. He alighted on tbe ground and when he picked himself up found that b# was not injured In tbft least.
