reckoning the annual value of the
products of our farms at 50, 00,000,-

increase the value of those products
in future years.
"The object of these Stations" is to
experiment and to teach," "to
make a regular business of discovery
for the use OF farming" "to promote
agriculture by scientific investigation
and experiment." and "to diffuse as
well as increase the knowledge which
improves farm practice and elevates
farm life" So says the bulletin,

Experiment Stations" issued from

The House That George Built.

The only house ever built by George
Washington at the Capital City of the
nation is still standing in Washing
ton City. 1t was originally a three
story brick, but when the street on
which it stands was graded two more
stories were added, making it a FIVE
story building, which is now used for
hotel. Some of the rooms are pref
ty much in the same condition as
they were when occupied by Wash
ington in 1892. A few old pieces of
furniture are said to be still secreted
about the house.

Prohibition Again.

Prof. Jas. A. Tate, of East Tennes-
see, lectured on prohibition and tenn
perance in the lecture room of the
c. P. Church Wednesday night. He
had a good audience and they gave
him close attention for nearly two
hours. He is quite young man and
a fine speaker. He made a speech
here during the prohibition campaign
of 1887, which was highly compli-
mented by all who heard it. If he
would boil his Wednesday night
speech down from one-third to one
half it would be much more effective.
A good many of his arguments were
weak and threadbare, and his prem
ises untenable. He made some good
arguments for prohibition, however,
and his mimicry of old politicians
and their methods was very rich. He
is expanding some fine talent on a
very cold trail. If prohibitionists
ever accomplish anything in this
country they will have to do it by
other means than through a third
party movement. The party may
gain strength enough in some sec
tions to act as a balance wheel on the
old parties, and force them to the Sc
lection of purer and better men for
Office. If they do no more than this
their work will not be altogether in
vain. We believe this could be bet
ter accomplished, though, without an
Independent party movement.
After the lecture Wednesday night
Prof. Tate organized a prohibition
club with ten members.

What Experiment Stations are Doing

AS instances of the value Of the
experiment station work, Farmers
Bulleten No. l, issued recently from
the Office Of Experiment Stations of
the Department Of Agriculture calls
attention to the fact that in Connect
icut analyses made by the State sta
ton have so reduced the price of the
commercial fertilizers that the saw
ing to farmers in the cost Of a single
ingredient of these fertilizers has
been greater than the entire cost of
maintaining the station. Prof. At
water Director, of the Office, quotes
one New Jersey farmer as cheerfully
admitting that the information OBJ
tanned by him from the experiments
made at his State station had been
worth more than $4,000 to him in a
single year. In North Carolina
among the valuable results coming
directly or indirectly from this
work are an increase of IA per cent.
in the quality of the commercial
fertilizers sold in the State and de-
crease in the acreage devoted to cot
ton due to the substitution of more
profitable crops. Similar valuable
results are to found at almost all the
stations established long enough to
have achieved results.
Our Experiment stations now en-
ploy over $40 experts in agricul-
tural science and practice, and are
supported by national appropria-
ton of 100000, to which the States
add about $l25,OO; S725,OO, a year
may seem like large sum to eXpend
annually for agricultural experiment,
but it is less than 10 cents for each
of the 100000 farm-workers of the
country, less thar ,! cents for each of

THERE is much discussion in the
State papers as to which grand divis-
ion of the State is entitled to the
next Governor. The West Tennes-
see papers are particularly loud in
their claims for recognition in this
honor, and nearly every prominent
politician in West Tennessee wants
to be Governor. The very best man
should be selected without any re-
gard whatever to which section of
the State he halls from. Gov. Tay-
lor was the choice of West Tennes-
see, and il was due entirely to that
end of the State that he was nominal
ted the first time. Can't West Ten
nessee be satisfied for awhile? 1t is
very naughty to be greedy.

Hot Ailk a Substitute for Liquor.

Mrs. Hayes always declared that q
perfectly adequate substitute for liquor
when needed as . stimulant could be
found in hot milk, and after any cold or
wetting she gave this in place Of the wine
or whisky which others would have con-
sidered necessary. This Is, by the way,
a custom Of Mrs. Cleveland's also, who
discovered after the many long and weari-
some receptions she was compelled TO 20
through, standing for hours on her feet
and shaking hands with hEldreds Of peo-
pie, that nothing would restore her 50
quickly as 4 cupful Of boiling milk
brought to her by her maid, and which
she drank in little sips, as hot as 1t could
possibly be taken. The Washington girls
caught the idea from her, and finding
how quickly it helped them after a hard
day Of calls and social duties, they began
TO substitute it for the various malt prep
aratiohs they had been in the habit oil
taking, or the hot wine and water then
maids usually administered when they
came in too tired out to dress for then
next engagement.-NewY York World.

They do not belong to the bony skeleton,

other portion Of the body, the teeth come
in two distinct sets, separated by an inter
val Of between four and FIVE years. The
first set consists Of twenty teeth, the sec
Ond Of thirty-two.
The second or permanent" set are
larger and harder, as well as more num-
erous, than the first. As the second set,
with the exception Of the wisdom teeth,
are formed before the first are shed, a

time fifty teeth in his head
The visible part Of the tooth is called

NEW VARIETIES OF WHEAT.
A Large Walla KalIa Wheat Grower Expert
mentiRg for Seed Best Adapted
for This Country.

Walla Walla Stdiesmdn: For some
time past it has been well-known that
Mr.. William II. Reed, Of Reed & Co.,
Tacoma, was deeply interested in ascer-
tanning the very best that could be done
in the matter Of wheat raising in the Wal
Ia Walla valley. Some two years ago he
began a system Of experiments in order
to find what he considered the best and
most economical wheat for our farmers to
raise. His experiments have been car
ried on in 4 systematic manner and he
has kept q record Of the results obtained.
Yesterday he showed the Statesman rep
resentative fourteen varieties from the
years yield from seed which he had OBJ
tanned from different portions Of the coun-
try. He has many new varieties that
have not been raised by the farmers here
at all. The growth Of each variety has
been carefully watched, and all the pecu-
liarity carefully noted and recorded. 1t
Is q well-known fact that this has been a
year which will give any variety Of
wheat q pretty severe test. lie has some
hybrid varieties, and also one Of his
own crossing between the blue stem and
the club. The showing Of the latter has
been excellent, out-doing any that he has
tried. This was sOwn last fall on ground
that had produced wheat last year.
The crop from this is very large,
and, whereas all other wheat
that has been sown under IKE circum-
stances has fallen short In yield, and has
withered, This proved to ripen early and
the kernals are 50 wen filed that their
coat had actually been broken. He also
sowed bushel each Of red chat and blue
stem side by side, from which he found
that the latter stood the drouth much the
better. A variety known as the trap, the
seed Of which came from South America,
gave an excellent yield and stood very
straight, but its disadvantage is in being
a late wheat. Theearliest ripening wheat
that he has found Is the quatz, this head
being filed before the drouth came on,
This, Of course, Is q strong point in iavol
Of this brand Of wheat, as II will escape
the hot winds which come later.
In order that he might ascertain thu
true inwardness Of this question he hal
sent TO the celebrated VilmoFin, Of Paris
who is the most noted scientific wheat
grower in the world, for eleven brands
seven Of which were specified, and four t.
be sent by him, being those which arc
best adapted to the condition Of our soil
climate, etc. In order that Vilmorir
might be the better Judge a box of sol
was sent himfor analysis, also complete
weather reports, etc. These samples have
not arrived as yet, but they will be given
a thorough test next year by Mr.. Reed
and the results made known. From such
steps as these Il will soon be known as to
what VIII be the rank Of these several
brands 50 the wheat growers can plant to
/ the greatest advantage,
