General Miles declares he is satisfied
from the Chicago experiment that the
bicycle can be made of use In the army
in carrying dispatches from one post to
another. Well, it might be if we had
fairly good country roads in the United
States. On good roads an expert cyclist
can make as good time as q trotting
horse. But carrying General Miles
message from Chicago to General How
ard at New York took hundred men
four days. They relieved one another
by rapid relays, a fresh man and fresh
wheel being ready to seize the dispatch
and fly onward with it. to the next relay
station. The distance from New York
to Chicago Is 1000 miles, so that the
best relays Of wheelmen can do In our
country is an average of q little more
than ten miles an hour, at least in rainy
weather, which continued all the four
days. When the highways were good

that he could travel mile in three min
utes, and he kept up this gait for nearly
half an hour. In France not long since

obliged to stop for rest and food, made
for thirty-fve hours the same average
speed that our cyclists did In relays

The Temperance Saloon.


Why notr Rev. DR.. Rainsford's pro-
posal to have the churches countenance
resorts where beer and light wines are
sold, and even to encourage such as q
temperance measure, is one that fills
total abstainers with horror. And GER
tainly If the reverend gentleman had
studied the figures Of the awful increase
Of drunkenness In Germany In the past
thirty years, where just such drinking
places as he suggests have been the
vogue for generations, he might have
hesitated before positively recommend
ing drinking saloons as church reform
measure.
But there might be. real temperance
saloons without any intoxicants at all
offered for sale. It is the social feature
of the beer saloon that has lured many Q
good fellow to his ruin. The glow and
brightness, the merriment and human
good fellowship are what draw at least
half Of mankind to the whisky shop
Men go to 1t Of evenings because they
have nowhere else. Their poor homes
or cheap boarding houses are not invit-
ing to those who toll all day.
But let us have the temperance saloon,
where workingmen may spend their
evenings. There can be many pleasant,
refreshing drinks without beer, ale,
wine or whisky. Light eatables might
be added. The men could smoke to their
hearts content and play all the games
they now are forced into tho whisky
shop to enjoy, Such tenn pernnoe houses,
carefully managed, would pay IN every
town and city, and would be q long die.

One Way to Dry Grain.


Where there are plenty of bins Rural
New Yorker correspondent advises plac-
ing in the grain bins freshly burned soft
brick that had not yet absorbed any
moisture. If the grain is very damp
use one to the bushel and the bricks will
absorb the moisture in the grain so that
the latter will become quite dry. If no
freshly burned bricks are at hand, any
soft burned ones will do if placed ON 8
fire until they have become cherry red.
Let them cool, SO that one can distribute
them well down among the grain. Select
clean bricks and brush off any sand OF
dirt that may be on them. This will
do for a few hundred bushels; but large
elevator binfuls can be best dried by
aerating, by elevating and handling the
grain.

The American Cath olic Church.

The American Catholic Church.
What is called by Its enemies the
"Cahensley conspiracy has resulted In
raising . most important question In the
Roman Catholic church in America.
Cahensley worked sedulously to obtain
papal authority to have the children Of
Catholic immigrants in America In
structed In the language Of their par
ents, both In church and In school.
There should be, according to the Ca
hensley idea, priests, bishops and arch
bishops Of all the nationalities repre-
sented by immigrants In America.
Thus keeping alive foreign languages
and instruction and being presided over
by foreign priests, the Roman Catholics
In America would be more easily con-
trolled from Europe, Cahensley argued.
Against this doctrine Archbishop John
Ireland, Of St. Paul, set himself. He
was chaplain in one Of the Minnesota
regiments during the war. He is q zeal.
GUS American, believing in the govern
ment OF the United States with all his
soul. He wishes the children Of for
eigners as soon as possibleto be instruct
ed in the constitution and government
and in the workings Of our free institu-
tions. For this reason he advocates in
struction in the English language in the
church schools, and would put instruc-
tors who teach in English over all the
children. Only by this means he be-
ieves the unity Of the American Catho-
lie church can be preserved. Where
separate English parochial schools can
only be maintained with difficulty Arch
bishop Ireland would have Catholic
children sent to the public schools,
rather than that they miss the thorough
training in English.
The question before the mind Of Arch
bishop Ireland, as summarized by Albert
Shaw, is this: "1s the Catholic church in
America to be considered now and per-
manently q complex group of European
colonies, or Is it to be made American
in language and sympathy, accepting in
the fullest sense the principles of Ameri-
can government and life?' ..~

Chemical Manure for Vegetables.

Chemical Manure for Vegetables.
The special crop most largely grown
at the east end of Long Island is the
early potato. In connection with good
soil, preferably a clover soil, the use Of
chemical fertilizers is said to give re-
suits quicker, surer and with less ex-
pense than other manures. A Long
Island farmer says in American Garden
ing:
I work small place Of about twenty
five acres, and the use of fertilizers, in
stead of SO much stable manure, enables
me to dispense with the services of an
extra man, and to grow more potatoes
on the same land two years in success
sion. We do not care so much for last
ing effects; we simply wish to get our
money returned as soon as possible with
9 good percentage Of profit. / grow
about ten acres Of potatoes each year,
one third Ohios and wo-thirds Early
Rose or similar variety, followed the
same season by late caulidowers and
other green crops for winter storage.
The yield from 91f acres the past season
was 8, 900 bushels. One ton per acre is
the amount used for the potato crop,
with something added for the green
crop following.

Hog Cholera and Inoculat!on.

A review of several attempts made in
recent years for the protection by inocu-
lation of swine against hog cholera is
given in Farmers Bulletin No. 8 of the
United States department of agriculture
prepared by DR.. D. E. Salmon, chief o.
the bureau of animal industry. A large
amount of evidence gathered from those
who have tried it, giving the results of
their experience, as also full report of
the incubation experiments conducted
in La Sale county, Ills, last year under
under the supervision of committee OF
farmers, is presented DR.. Salmon's
conclusion, based upon the evidence
which he presents in this bulletin upon
the results Of the investigations made by
the bureau on the subject, is that inocu.
lation as preventive against hog cholera
is failure from whatever point of view
it be regarded, and the farmers are
warned against the use of that method
which he shows to have been in many
cases more fatal than the disease it is in.
tended to prevent. As an instance OF
this he cites the fact that whereas the
losses following inoculation in Nebraska
during the past year were 10 per cent,
the losses among uninoculated animals
was but per cent Copies of this bull
letin may be had upon application to the

D1anuring the Turnip Crop.

b1anuf1nH the TuTn1p Crop
The results Of experiments with diff
ferent manures applied to the turnip
crop Of 1891 at an English agricultural
school farm justified these conclusions:
]. A green crop should not be grown
without farmyard manure if possible.
Q. However much farmyard manure be
supplied some artificial manure rich IN
phosphates should be added in order to

FERTILIZER FOR TOMATOES

Iesta Which Indicate That Nitrate Of
Soda = Valuable for This Purpose.
Field experiments with nitrate of soda
on tomatoes in 1850 and 1890, made at
the New Jersey station, indicated that
this material, under proper condi itions Of
use, was q valuable fertilizer for toma-
toes. The experiments in both years
were carried out upon the same farm,
the soil Of which was considered well
adapted to the crop, viz. q deep sandy
loan in q good state Of fertility. In the
consid deration Of results emphasis was in
both cases placed upon the necessity Of
q suf6ciency Of the mineral elements,
phosphoric acid and potash, either in the
soil or applied, although in 1890 the d.
rect application Of these elements was
not found profitable. .
In 1891 in order to, if possible, more
clearly demonstrate this point, two ex-
periments were made, one on sandy
losam in q good state Of fertility and one
on land apparently deficient in all the
essential plant food elements, though in
general character adapted to the growth
of market garden produce. EARLY varie-
ties were used in both cases. Each ap-
pication Of nitrate of soda was distrib-
uted evenly over about one-half of the
space occupied by the row.
On the sandy loam the yield of early
tomatoes was very decidedly increased
by the use Of nitrate Of soda, both alone
and together with phosphoric acid and
potash. In the trial on the poor land
nitrate of soda alone was on the average
not profitable, merely paying for the
nitrate used. AS summed up in the spe-
cial bulletin, the average results secured
under the varied conditions of soil and
season included in the three years of
experiment seem, however, to warrant
the conclusion that under conditions
considered favorable for the growth of
tomatoes shat is good cultivation and
previous liberal fertilization the appli-
cation of 100 pounds per acre of nitrate
of soda alone will be uniformly more
profitable for early tomatoes than com.
binations Of minerals, barnyard manure
or complete fertilizer.

Wool Exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
The assistant secretary of agriculture.
Mr.. Willis, who is in charge of the ex-
hibit Of that department at the World's s
Columbian exposition, is taking meas
ures for thoroughly classified represen-
tation there of the wool industry of the
United States. He has appointed a COM
mittee to look after this matter, consist
ing of Edward A. Greene, of Philadel-
phia, and Hon. John T. Rich. of Elba,
Mich. It is intended to include in the
exhibit 100 samples of foreign woods
taken from the collection now being
made for the use of the customs service
by the same committee. Of domestic
woods about 1000 samples will be shown
Of all breeds and crosses raised in the
country. The space available for this
exhibit will not permit of showing many
whole feeces, which will be restricted to
a few taken from pedigree sheep. Gen.
orally speaking, the samples will be put
in glass bottles holding about a pound.
and will be so arranged in the bottles as
to show on the one side the staple and on
the other the skin side of the clip. In
this way both the farmer and the wool
buyer win see the wool as they are in the
habit of seeing it. An effort will be
made to relieve the monotony which
would arise from so many similar sam
pies, by some special decorative features,
such as pictures of sheep, etc. Mr.. Will

hbited with the name and address of
the breeder attached, as in the case of all
samples Of wool where these are known.
Although the space available for the ex-
hibit is very small, it is hoped that by u.s.

samples it may prove of value to the

the south shore of Georgian bay. The

Blades representative who visited the
place, are men-of war, any one of which
is capable of knocking into eplinters all
the hoatiDg armament which the United
States now has on the great lakes. The
vessels are said to be 100 feet long and
70 feet beam, with a draft of less than
lO feet. They are capable of running
through the smallest canal in the lake
system, and the armament. is the
most complete of its kind known
to modern naval warfare. Each

goal, and Berkeley took the bail to the
center of the field. Then Berkeley
played with grim determination. 1t
was their last chance, and they worked
ike demons. Time after time they
formed wedge and dashed through
Stanford's line. 1t was great uphill
playing, and the crowd went wild with
excitement. Finally they worked the
ball up to within three yards of Stan
ford's goal line. 1t was the supreme
moment of the game. when Berkeley
formed f)r another OF its effective wedge
rushes. Stanford braced for the shock,
but they could not stand up against
Berkeley's heavyweights, and the ball
was forced over the line for touch
down. Then Hunt caught Taylor's
punt for a free kick, and Taylor this
time kicked goal, tieing the game.
The tumult was simply terrific
Berkeley's supporters danced up and
down and howled, while the Stanford
men looked glun. There were only a
lew minutes more to play when Stan
ford took the ball to center. They got
the ball through succession of runs
and rushes, including beautiful run
and dodge by Ciemens to within 25
wards of the goal. There, however,
Berkeley made a rally, and Stanford
falling to advance five yards in three
downs, went back 20 yards. After that
Berkeley worked the ball back to CEN
ter, and with the ball exactly in the
center line, time was called, and the
great game was ended.
The tie will be played off within
few weeks
