CIVIL SERVICE INVESTIGATION.

in Baltimore.
Postmaster General Wanamaker on
the Witness Stand.
He Contends That ROOsevelts Report
Did an Injustice TO the Employees
of the Baltimore Post
office.

Associated Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The house
committee on reform in civil service to-
day began an investigation into the al
legations that the civil service law is
being violated by federal officials in
Baltimore. The resolution recites the
report of Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt of May, 1871. The committee
is directed to ascertain whether any or
all the guilty officials are still in office,
and whether they have been indicted or
prosecuted.
Postmaster General Wanamaker was
the first witness. He said the post
master at Baltimore had asserted that
injustice was done the employees in
Roosevelt's report, and witness there
upon ordered an investigation by post
Office inspectors, who reported: "It is
our opinion that the facts do not justify
the dismissal of twenty-one employees
or any one of them, for violation OF the
civil service lawsas charged"
The employees in the case, said wit
ness, were poor men, soldiers and sons
of soldiers, and the amount of their con-
tributions were not much larger than
the sum required to pay for printing the
report of the civil service commission.
Representative Andrews wished to
know why Postmaster Johnson had been
reprimanded.
Witness replied: "For allowing his
men to be in the position OF making
statements that could be excepted to-"
To Boatner the postmaster general
said, il the men were engaged in assess
ing each other, or in coercing votes,
these actions were certainly violations OF
the law, but the men denied that they
had done so.
Andrews asked the postmaster general
if an employee who made one statement
in April and another at subsequent
time, contradicting absolutely his
former statements, ought to be retained
in office.
Wanamaker said he did not think any
untruthful persons ought to be en-
ployed, but he called attention to the
fact that nineteen of the men contended
that they did not say the words attri-
buted to them.

The Art of Cutting Clothes,

When we read and listen to discus
sions of comparative value of long or
shoulder measures with those that are
short and sectional, in which one or the
other is denounced as unscientific or
impracticable, our mind Immediately
dwells for moment on proverbially
stupid animal with long ears. The fact
is that many cutters are successful
with the first, and just about as many
with the others.
Every man cannot become good cut
ter. Some do not seem to ''catch on
as the saying is, and others who seem to
do so are never able to produce any
other results than such as make old
heads SWIM"
Natural ability and educational adj
vantages generally insure success, but
years of work on the board, the ability
even to make good coat, is no guar
antee of the possession of that mental
equipment which is necessary to make Is
good cutter.
When it requires hours of labor to fix
in some ones mind the difference be-
tween one-third and one-quarter of a
size, how can such a one expect to sue
ceed as a cutter?
When a student is able to think quick
ly and clearly, we confidently expect
him to become a skillful cutter, even
though he cannot make coat SO well as
many others. The fact is that to be
successful in garment cutting, as in any
other trade or profession, a man must
have brains, know how to use them and
use them as he should Tailoring Jour-

TO GET EGGS IN WINTER.
An Easy Method in Use Among French
Poultrymen-Try 1t.

An Easy Method in Use Among French
Poultrymen-Try 1t.
M. Voittelier, French poultry ex-
pert, in an article On means of fastening
laying, recalls an old, simple and easy
way, the efficacy of which he claims is
not questioned among French poultry
men, of making hens lay in the winter.
It is simply giving the fowls grain that
has been lined, the same as grain pre-
pared for sowing. Without showing
special fondness for such grain the
fowls eat it perfectly. This diet, he af-
firms, is harmless, provided it is not
continued too long. Wheat is generally
used for that purpose. However, all
treated in this way. For the benefit of
readers who may not be initiated in pre-
pairing grain for sowing the modus op-
erandi is given:
Take a quart of unslaked lime and
slake it in about ten or twelve quarts of
warm water. Heap up the grain that is
to be lined in a conical shape and pour
on the center of it the whitewash, previ-
ously stirred and thoroughly mixed with
stick. Then take wooden shovel and
stir the heap until all the grain has been
soaked sufficiently. Before feeding let
it be spread out and dried. This mode
of preparation has the additional advan-
tage of freeing the grain from certain
parasites or germs which might affect
the health of the fowls. In cases where
the birds die in large numbers without
apparent cause, M. Voittelier advises
the trial of feeding them with lined
grain. He says: ''This may prove a pal
iative. At all events, we cannot recon-
mend it too highly for promoting lay
ing"
The Fanciers' journal, commenting
on the foregoing, says: 1.-The above is
easily tried and will cost only the labor
of preparing the grain and the very
small amount of lime used. Our French
poultrymen are entitled to considerable
respect, as in France the poultry busi-
ness is successful. DR.. Roth, in the
journal quoted, makes it appear that
the lime in oyster shells is assimilated
by the hen and influences the formation
of the shell. AS to the cost, there is
nothing cheaper than oyster shells. The
use of quicklime is seldom spoken of in
this country, but in France it is used for
the purpose of fastening laying"

Sunol looked inquiringly at Mr.. Bon
ner as he spoke, as if wondering whether
he meant what he said, and switched
her beautiful tail and kicked up her
heels as though she were ready for the
trial at any moment. She was carefully
measured yesterday. She stands 16.2
hands high and is larger in every way
than Maud s. She weighs l ,070 pounds,
showing gain of 135 pounds in the last
year. When she made her great record
in October last she weighed 1,O30
pounds. She is not pretty, for she is
built on the kangaroo plan, her hind
legs being very long and her fore legs
comparatively short. Marvin says that
she has an enormous stride when going
fast. She moves SO easily that no one
without watch can guess within ten
or fifteen seconds of her speed. She is
of q beautiful dark chestnut color with

bulge out enormously under the shining

At the Iowa station great efforts were
made in the spring to find out the best
way of preventing the squirrels from TAX
ing the corn. The corn was treated in
the following ways: Smoked with meat
in all ordinary smokehouse until the ker-
nels were black; smoked in barrel with
tobacco dust; smoked over night in
strong decoction of tobacco and of quas-
sia chips; soaked in dilute carbolic acid
mixture, in strong alum water, in salt
water and in kerosene. The squirrels
would take the corn treated in any of
these ways, though the carbolic acid
treatment and the smoking with tobacco
made the corn distasteful, and when in
the vicinity Of other ground would be
left till the last. The best remedy seems
to be to harrow the ground Immediately
after planting to cover the planter tracks.
and then to scatter corn about the border
of the fields and in the vicinity of the
squirrel holes as soon as the corn begins
to come uD

Tt WORKS WELL.
FARMERS SELL THEIR OWN LAMBS
AND WOOL.

A Practical Club that Benefits Both
Producer and Consumer-Othcr Things
Than Sheep Can Be Handled in Like
Manner.
In late issue of Farm and Fireside
Mr.. R. M. Beal gives the history and
workings of a Lamb and Wool club
which has been in working order for
eleven years at Goodlettsville, Tenn. It
was formed by the farmers in a neigh
borhood good for sheep pasturage and
lamb raising. Prior to the formation of
the club, lambs netted them $500 each.
Their first sale after organization netted
$4.10. Those not in the organization
got the old price, which was as usual So. 90
each for the farmer and 50. 10 for the mid
die man, and the man who ate the lamb
paid $50 for it, and if one man did not
buy the carcas and it was sold at retail,
it cost the consumer about $12.50, or
$40. so for the sundry middle men and
carriers, and $500 for the farmer.
Now they have their organization per-
fected, the lambs are sold by sealed bids
for cash. The prices obtained for the past
nine years have averaged six and a
fourth cents a pound live weight. The
wool has been sold in the same way, and
has brought from three to four cents a
pound more than the wool of those not
members.
Late years all growers Of the neigh
borhood have joined. This is the way
the business is done. We have sixty
members.
The interest in lamb raising is on tine
increase. 1t pays us better than any
thing we can do. We have been bene-
fitted by the organization about 335 per
cent. When the committee has arranged
the day and notified the buyers, the
sealed bids are sent in, the lambs graded
to standard and weight Ghe wool is
sold in the same way, everybody is
ready to deliver their stock. On sale
day the produce is on hand. The
farmers and their families and the
buyers are there. The bids are opened
and the whole is quickly sold and the
money paid. The cars are ready aud
the shipper takes his lambs and there is
no further trouble. All are pleased: no.
body is wronged; it is fair and square
business. The buyer gets our stock and
we get the money.
We hold four meetings a year, but
have no essays or addresses; we give our
experiences and observations.
Now all this is practical, and shows
an extra fine lot of good business sense.
The price is not raised to the consumer,
and no one is injured. The loss caused
by utterly useless middlemen and specu-
lators is eliminated from the business,
and tie consumer of the lambs pays no
more for his meat, and is directly bene-
fitted by getting very much better stock,
for they are not rased around the
country, hauled in wagons and kept
slowed in pens until carload can be
gathered together.
What country ON this earth stands in
greater need of such neighborhood
farmers clubs than we do Oh. this Coast?
Every neighborhood Of small fruit
farms should have solid neighborhood
business club, and meet for business
alone. d. 3. WIER.
