WAR ON AMERICAN PRODUCTS.
The Administration Has a Grave Problem
In Dealing with the Discrimination
Against American Food StufTs.


The Administration Has a Grave Problem
In Dealing with the Discrimination
Against American Food StuEs.
WASHINGTON, March %. - In the
recent rapid succession of diplomatic
events the question of what shall be
lone to the European countries which
are unjustly discriminating against
The products of the United States has
been lost sight of temporarily. The
administration has a very grave prob
lem to deal with in the action of Ger
many and other European countries in
excluding American food products.
The president and Secretary Gresham
are still very reluctant to adopt
retaliatory tactics, for the reason
that it would injuriously affect
the foreign commerce of the United
States and reduce the revenue from
customs. They are being strongly
pushed, however, to take such action
by the farmers, meat packers and
others interested in the exporting of
farm products. Whether there will
ultimately be commercial war or not
will depend in large part on the action
of Germany. Advices which were yes
terday communicated to the state de-
partment put more hopeful aspect on
the situation. The German consuls
are beginning to make their influence
felt with that government, and the de-
partment has reason to believe that
there will be a reaction against the
agrariaB movement, and that the ports
of Germany will once more be opened
to American meats and other products.

ST. LOUIS, March 2S.-At a meeting
yesterday the st. Louis Terminal asso-
citation decided to guarantee, on behalf
of the twenty-five railroads entering
this city, the interest on bonds which
will be issued to build a Y. NJ. c. A
building for the use of railroad men.
The building which will be located on
ground given by the Terminal as
ISOLATION, will contain dormitory and
in addition will have every appoint
ment of first-class club. 1t is expect
ed that plans for the building, which
will cost about $4,000, will be COM
pleted soon and the structure be ready
for use before next summer.

UNIQUE FLOWER BOXES.
How to Make One from the Rough Branch
Of Trae.

While house plants, if thrifty, green
and blooming, are charming, even if
they grow in such humble holders as
tin cans, no one will deny that they
are still more lovely if the box or pot
or vase be an attractive one. 1t should
not, however, be gaudy so as to de-
tract from the plant and its blossom.
l saw the other day, at the window
of a beautiful house In New York,
what seemed to me a very unique
flower pot. 1t consisted of the rough
branch or trunk of tree about two
feet long and ten inches in diameter.
The bark, moss and rough knots were
left on, the inside followed out and
filed with rich earth, and in this,
evidently, seeds of quick-growing vines
had been planted; for as it hung in the
sunny bay window, suspended by gall
vanized picture wire from either end,
vines twined upward and hung down
and sent out little shoots toward the
sun and rioted about in the most
charming confusion.
The accompanying sketch will show
how the work is done. Blooming plants

VACCINATION OF LANL
Interesting Experiments Being Made a
France and Germany.


One of the strangest things in recent
science has to do with the recent vac
cination'' of land. Everyone knows
that it enriches, instead of impoverish-
ing, a field to plant it occasionally with
a leguminous crop, such as clover or
lucerne, the roots of which have a
power of absorbing and retaining more
nitrogen than they take from the
ground. But where the nitrogen comes
from is another matter. The air sug-
gested itself at once when people be-
gan to study the problem, and Messrs.
Lawes and Gilbert, among others, spent
many months in fruitless endeavors to
trace the source to the air, coming at
last to negative conclusion. The dis
covery was eventually made by Herren,
Hellriegel and Willfarth, of Germany,
that the absorption was due TO minute
organisms Ia sort of diseased in the
roots, which, when the supply of nitro
gen in the soil began to fail, appeared
in the form of small exorescences, drew
nitrogen from the air and so caused
the enrichment. When this had once
been settled it became a matter
of Importance to foster and, if
possible, hasten the growth of the dis
ease in the fields sown with legu-
minousae, and extensive experiments
have been made during the last few
years in France and Germany with this
object. Fields have been literally
''vaccinated" by spiking over them soil
in which tuberculous crops have
grown, or even water in which they
have been soaked. In 1890 tract of
old peaty land was sown with clover
and vaccinated with about one and a
half tons to the acre of an old clover
field. Scarcely any other manure at
all was used. A more convincing ex.
pertinent still was performed in Prus-
STA, where large field was sown with
lupins, and divided, one part being
treated in the ordinary fashion, the
other inOculated from an old lupin
crop. The yield in the latter part was
five and half times as great as in that
under the normal treatment A re-
markable point in these operations is
that each variety of the leguminousae
has it's characteristic microbe, and that
it is no use inoculating field of clover,
for instance, with lucerne. or of lupin
with clover.-Rochester Times.

some New Facts About Tea.

England consumes 600, 900 pounds or
about 4, 200, 900 gallons of tea each day,
which is as much as is used by the rest
of Europe, North and South America,
Africa and Australia combined. The
green tea of former days has almost
ceased to be known, while the TWAIN
kay, Hyson and gunpowder teas are
seldom heard from. China only sup
plies one-twelfth of the quantity, the
rest coming from India and Ceylon.
The Indian tea goes half as far again
as the Chinese as regards color and

the possibilities in ginseng culture.
have at this writing December, '9p IS
beds in the garden stocked with roots
and seeds, $4,000 Seeding roots in forest
nursery beds, 21,OOO seeds sown in
forest, from which plants are expected
next spring, and this seasons crop of
seed. packed in loan in condition to
promote termination, ready to be sown
next season. l have also during the
past four years furnished the public
with over $4,000 seeds and about 1900
roots for cultivation. 1 am aware of
the general impression that ginseng
culture is slow business, and that it
cannot be made profitable success. l
admit that it is slow starting and must
be worked up from small beginnings,
but when once fairly started can be
developed quite rapidly. But no one
need think he can rush into ginseng
culture and make fortune in one or
two years. Setting few roots or SOW
ing few seeds, and giving it no turth-
err attention, will never develop
ginseng culture on a paying basis. 1t
won't spread over your ground like
weeds.
To my mind the business is best
suited to the small farmer and market
gardener.
A Chinaman came to Boston a few
years ago wanting five hundred tons of
ginseng-he succeeded in getting about
four hundred pounds. This is the way
we are supplying the demand. The ex-
ports of ginseng from the United
States during ten years, 1ss2-ls9l,
amounted to nearly eight million dol
lars-an item of some Importance.
This valuable source of income will
soon be a thing of the past, unless an
effort is made to develop its cultiva-
ton, as the wild plant is fast being ex-
hausted in this country.
Ginseng is native in China, Tartary
and Korea. 1t has been cultivated in
Korea for hundreds of years. 1t is a
royal monopoly, cultivated under IL
cense, and the value of the crop is esti-
mated at five hundred thousand dollars
a year.
am often asked how can we get
started in ginseng culture. My advice
to all is to go into the forest, gather
the wild roots and transplant them. A
few weeks devoted to this work each
year for few years will give a good
start.

Brennan, in his annual report, declares
the Debs strike an unimportant affair.
According to him the most annoying
element consisted of half grown boys
who were determined TO do mischief.
He says: SIT is a notable fact that
there was no trouble where there
were no troops. In all cases where
the police were left to themselves
peace was preserved, and property was
kept uninjured and the interference
with non-unior workmen was trifing"
The report severely denounees the con-
