x Rays In Agriculture.

What is probably the first application
of Roentgen's rays to the calculation Of
an agricultural problem has been effect
ed at Munich by DR.. Graetz, who has
obtained by the agency Of the K rays
the photograph of pig one day old.
The outline Of the skeleton system is
clearly shown. An examination Of the
image Of the skeleton Of this young pig
makes much more Ineligible than
would long dissertation the necessity
of diet rich in phosphate matter, and
it's effect upon the perfect development
Of the osseous system. The young ami
NAL. Of which the bony tissues are so
imperfectly constituted at the time of
birth, finds in the maternal milk the
heterogeneous and phosphate ingredients
essential to the formation Of bone. Aft
er it is weaned such food as is afforded
in cereal grains furnishes it with the
phosporic acid, the lime, and the mag
nesia required for the completion Of it's
osseous structures. In the solution Of
many problems which still remain to be
attacked in the domain of animal nutri-
tion the application Of the new method
promises to be fruitful in results, while
it's value in affording means Of verify
ing conclusions which are already re-
garded as established must be apparent
to all.

Kafar Corn In Kansas.

At the Kansas station red kaffir corn
and common Indian corn have been
grown side by side under the same Gull
ture for six years, and during that time
the average yield of kaffir corn was 55
bushels per acre and of the common
kind 80 bushels per acre. The kaffir
corn yielded an average of ~ tons fod-
der per acre. the Indian corn ~ tons.
Little difference is found between red
and white kafir, either being better
than any of either the sweet or nonsac-
charine sorghums. Great care should be
taken to get pure seed and keep it pure.
Kaffir readily mixes with other sor-
ghums grown near it and rapidly deteri-
CRATES under such conditions. Many of
the kaffir seeds on the market are i'm
pure and give unsatisfactory results.

Pea Vine Hay.

Here is plan contributed to Home
and Farm by farmer who has found it
successful. He writes:
In the first place, cut all the avail
able grass I have for hay some two
weeks before cutting my pea vines Goats
or wheat straw will do) and have it
thoroughly cured. When hay is well
cured, I start with mower to cut the
pea vines. Be sure not to begin cutting
early in the morning while dew is on,
but begin about 10 o'clock Or later if
necessary. Start the wagons to hauling
in at once-frst hay, then the fresh cut
pea vines. Store at once in barn or rlcks.
In any case be sure to have ventilation
at bottom. First put layer about IL
inches thick of the we'll cured hay, then
layer 10 inches thick of the green pea

vines; again lay hay ana vines until
you have your barn filled. The hay will
absorb the evaporation of the pea vines,
and they will not heat sufficient to in
jure the vines When cured, the vines,
together with the green pods and leaves,
will be found cured almost as green in
color as when first cut. By this process
you obtain the maximum value of the
vines while the labor of saving them is
reduced to the minimum.

BEST POSSIBLE WAY TO BRACE POST.
one end of the fence The trench for the
''deadman'' should be about three feet
deep.
Now the other end of the wires needs
ratchets to tighten them by. and it may
be desired to hang a gate thereto. So
the "deadman'' is used, but the fasten-
ing is done by means of six strands Of
No. 9 wire twisted into cable and
running to the second post at G. The
horizontal brace D holds the main post
E solidly in position. The wires pass
through posts E @ D. Ratchets at G
take up slack in wires.
This is brace that endures with no
give or upheaving Of posts. There is no
cheaper or easier brace known. And
there is no patent on it!

FORGED BY CITY OFFICIALS
Startling Revelations in the Chica-

Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Wike argues against the advertising bill
on the ground that the letting of public
advertising 10 one newspaper i'll this
city would not give the announcements
sufficient publicity. AS u matter of fact
such method would insure more praCli-
cal publicity than il the advertising were
placed in different ioCat papers, mas
much as the one with whom the contract
was made would at once become an Official
organ, and contractors and persons inter-
ested in Government contracts would never
be in doubt as to where to look for the in
formation they We're seeking 1t il true
that it would be impossible to distribute
official advertising either as a favor or
for compensation, but there can be no
doubt that the interests of the departments
and OF the public would be much better
served.
The system of letting public advertising
to the lowest responsible bidder has been
successfully adopted in many of our West
ern cities, and, although the public ad-
compared to that given to Washington
newspapers, the saving TO taxpayers has
in every instance been from SIS 1000 to
S25,O0o per year. This system would
also remove the possibility of purchasing
the favor of our city press by Il discreet
awarding of this species Of patronage. and
even the paper designated as the official
organ would not feel compelled TO gloss
over questionable official transactions for
fear Of sacrificing a part Of its revenues.
Then again, if it is right TO uphold the
classified service as a protection against
political favoritism, it is also proper to stop
the unjust method OF distributing official
advertising, either as a political or per-
sonal favor. And the only way 10 do it
is to let it by contract TO the lowest
responsible bidder.

The Champion Political Chameleon.

with his political reputation. Senator Hill
took the stump for the Democratic party
and did in public what he had refused to do
In the Senate by supporting the tariff BILL
He also advocated bimetalism as sound
democratic doctrine, Policy since omitted
from his Democratic decalogue.
In this short comment it would be imposs-
ble tomentionthe other political transfoTma-
tions made by the Tammany Senator, but
as another instance OF his rainbow cbarac-
teristics il might be well to refer TO his
contortlon act on the Cuban question.
When The Cuban resolutions first came up
in the Senate no member was more eager
for Cuban recognition than he. His comba-
tive nature and quick ana keen perception
OF The situation united in making him
vigorous and eloquent in the cause OF the
patriots.
Yesterday, however, the habit OF somer-
saulting on public questions once again
asserted itself and While ready TO die
OF throat disease in behalf OF Cuba he
announced his intentions OF voting against
the resolutions because they declared that
the United States should be prepared to
protect the legitimate interests OF our cit
ZeDs in Cuba by Intervention, If necessary.
WIN the astute senior Senator from New
York please answer if the United States
should not be prepared 10 protect the
rights and interests OF Americans in any
country. Again, what harm can there be
in making that announcement TO Spain as
a warning not to destroy the property OF
Americans i'll Cuba in retaliation for the
passage of the Cuban resolutions?

Pure Water VS.. Street Extension.

the various street Improvements will in
crease this amount to about $50 ,0O0, 900.
OF course, such an enormous sum could
not be had at one time from Congress
for this precious scheme, and it was part
OF the plot of the Commissioners and the
ring to secure authority for the sale OF
bonds in installments by including demands
to that effect in bills for needed improve
ments. The first instaIlment was asked
for III tue sewage disposal bond bill, which
was fortunately amended at the suggestion
of the board of trade SO as to strike out
that part which referred to the sale Of
bonds for street extensions.
Taxpayers can decide which is nearest
right, the Commissioners, when they advo-
cate an expenditure OF $4,000, 900 to inn
prove private property, or the public, that
insists on an outlay OF $4,000, 900 TO supply
the city with purer and better water. 1t
might be added that the improvement
asked for by the Commissioners and the
ring is not needed ut present, while the
increase and purification of our water
service is really a public necessity. At
the same time this question is being con-
Sidered it would also be well 10 inquire
why the Commissioners are SO rampant
in their demands for street extension when
there are so many improvements in the
interest of the general public actually
neglected for want OF their approval and
advocacy.
