VALPARAISO, Nov. 3O.-The United Press

authority Of an Official holding high place in
Santiago that the Chllian Government had no
intention whatever Of Offering an apology or
indemnity. such as the American President
requested. and had no intention Of recalling
or modifying the reply given 70 the American
request. and that any expectation that Presi-
dent Montt would. IN this respect. modify tho
policy adopted by the Junta was misleading
The President himself it IS said. was the
most earnest advocate IN the junta OF a den
ant retort 10 the United States and virtually
dictated the answer sent 10 Minister tgah.
Montt has not changed his views since he eA-
changed the Office OF Chief Of the Juhta ior
that OF President. and Chill Is silent now De-
cause there is nothing 10 be said.
Meantime although President Montt has
recommended cutting down OF the army

ont the recommendation, and even the tolun-
teers sent back TO their homes IN tho North
were told 10 retain their arms.

ruins and pick out the dead. Many terrible

have relatives among the missing, and

have already been recovered. They are
burned or crushed almost beyond recognition

BY using long cable in place of a
chain to connect the tree and block B,
distance from the tree, as circumstances
may indicate.
You also send me letter which
asks: "What kind of cable?"-"How
many trees may be pulled by two men
and team in an hour?"-and "What do
the pulley blocks cost?"
One and half inch rope is what 1
use that call cable. The rapidity
with which man can take bitches
and tie he knots In the rope will large
ly determine the numb be r of trees which
may be uprooted in an hour. 1t is
difficult to describe here the various
quick knots an d bitches which an ex-
pert may make in rope, but most
other competent man who will gladly
teach these bitches.
BY reference to n journal kept at the
time, find that We averaged ten trees
an h our, but many of them were small
and came out readily by pull of the
team without using pulleys. 1t was
done more quickly than it could haze
been if we had waited to attach the
blocks. l think ten trees an hour a
good average. Mr.. Robinson can get
his land hand-grubbed for nine dollars
an acre. That seems low and may be
cheaper than using pulleys, but with
me pulleys save half the expense.
In regard to cost of outfit, any hard
ware dealer can tell you more accu-
rately than I can. You will need 10
or l2-inch block with two pulleys, the
same sized block with one pulley, and
possibly smaller ''snatch block" 1
use $50 feet of inch rope for pulleys
and about rs feet of 11d-inch rope for
cable. I find inch rope, when new,
quite strong enough and it is much
more easily handled than a larger rope.
There are so many times and places
on farm when rope and,pulleys save
time, that think it a good investment
to own them, even if we have no tim
ber to grub. In getting heavy logs and
rocks out of the way, and in moving
small or even large buildings, the

would nearly as soon get along without
wagon as without the "taclSle" OF

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

IT is important that corn be dry be-
fore storing it in the crib, and it will
lose weight even after it has been
stored.
GROUND dried fish is very cheap
fertilizer compared with it's advantages,
and is an excellent material for adding
to the compost-heap.
II is claimed that green apples fed to
hogs is source of hog cholera. Ripe
apples, however, are fed to all classes
of stock without danger.
A BONE slowly decays, and it is a
waste to attempt to utilize bones un-
less they are ground or reduced in some
manner, as bones give off their parti-
cles very slowly.
PoTAToEs should never be marketed
unless assorted. Uniformity of size
and appearance will benefit both the

ARMY TRICKS.
How q Surgeon Was Fooled by Play

How q Surgeon Was Fooled by n Play
Upon Words.
There We're many tricks played on
the officers, just for the fun of the
thing, during the war, especially if the
troops remained long at any one camp
ing place.
In one of the many camps of our
union soldiers an odd trick was played
off on the surgeon and chaplain of a
regiment noted for it's merry making.
The troops were camped by a small
stream over which was narrow, rick
ETY. bridge.
Just across from the camp was log
cabin in which lived an old woman
alone. ~ 80"
The woman paid no attention to the
soldiers, but went about her daily du-
ties as though unconscious of their
presence.
I One day some of the boys passed the
cabin, and hurrying over the rickety
bridge came running into camp with
the message, 1.-THE old woman in the
cabin is dying!" The chaplain and
surgeon We're notified.
"Chaplain, hurry over quick! the old
woman is dying!'
The chaplain hurried over the ricllety
bridge as rapidly as possible; the sur
geon soon followed. AS the chaplain
came round to the open door he saw at
glance that it was a trick, and he
passed on around the house so as to al
low the surgeon TO come on and bear a
full share of the joke.
The woman was dying. She was
over n kettle of butternut juice dyeing
n lot of yarn.
When the two came back over the
bridge the whole camp was in roar of
laughter over the joke.
But what could be done? The men
had reported a truth-the woman was
dyeing; so there was no redress. Home
and Country.

some dealers always. They want to
sell the medicine that pays them the
largest profit. What you want to
buy is the one that does you tho
most good.
Which one is it?
Sometimes, it may be a matter
of doubt. But, in the case of
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
there's no room for doubt. It's a
matter that can be proved.
With the facts before you, it's
an insult to your intelligence to
have something else offered as
"just as good"
And here's the proof Among
all the medicines that claim to cure
woman's peculiar weaknesses, irreg-
ularities, and diseases, the "Favor-
lite Prescription :" is the only one
that's guaranteed.
If it doesn't do all that's claimed
for it, if it doesn't give satisfaction
in every case, you'll have your
money back.
There's strength and vigor for
every tired and feeble woman,
health and new life for every
delicate and ailing woman and if
there's no help, there's no pay.
