Use Of liermicides.
The method of adding something to
the cream that will destroy the bacteria
or prevent their growth, no matter how
warm the weather or how distant the
market, appeals to the dealer on account
of its cheapness, simplicity and effec-
tiveness. Cream in which a sufficient
quantity Of boric acid or salicylic acid
has been introduced, for these are sub
stances generally used as preservatives
Of cream, will remain perfectly sweet
for an indefinite time even in the hot
test summer temperature. These chem
icals produce no decided change in the
taste or appearance of the cream, and
1t is no wonder that this method has
sometimes been adopted by those who
have seen in it a solution Of the only
difficulty in the way of extending lu-
crative cream trade. What. then. are
the objections to this method? The
frst and the very decided objection that
will occur to the consumer is, that
when paying for sweet and wholesome
cream he does not want 1t diluted with
anything else. In view of the compare
lively small quantity Of the preserva-
tive that has to be used. this objection
might be overcome by an appeal to the
reason of the consumer, II he did not
have reason as well as prejudice on his
side. II 1t could be shown that the pre-
servative was as harmless as the cream
itself there would, prehaps, be no rea-
sonable objection to 1t, but the best that
can be claimed for these chemical pre-
servatives is, that while they are sure
death to bacteria, they also endanger
the health and derange the digestive
apparatus Of human beings. Among
those qualified to Judge Of the effect of
these substances when taken into the
stomach of human beings there is
practically but one opinion, and that
is, that the constant consumption of
them Is harmful even If taken in small
quantities. In certain cases where per-
sons are suffering from disease Of the
digestive organisms. the use of cream
preserved by this method is positively
dangerous

This is fungous disease that effects
the strawberry leaves and causes the
brown spots or patches on them. 1t is
also called strawberry rust by some.
The disease does not generally appear
until about fruiting time, when it ap-
pears as small, reddish spots, which in
crease rapidly in size. the center being
of q lighter color. These spots often
run together, forming large blotches:
the affected leaves wither. turn brown
and die. Some varieties are more at
fected by It than others, and this should
be taken into consideration when Sc
lecting varieties for planting, as the
disease seriously affects the vitality Of
the plant, and diminshes the crop the
next year. Spraying with Bordeaux
mixture is successfully practiced In pre-
venting this disease. The nrst spraying
can be given early in the spring, after
the new leaves start, and just before the
blossoms open. The second soon after
the fruit is picked, followed by two or
three applications about two or three
weeks apart.
Soil for Pears.-It Is generally UNI
derstood that pears need . very rich

not cultivate or manure their pear or

The peculiar behavior Of alkali is
largely a result of its solubility in
water. To this cause the well-known
rise of the alkali' is due. When the
ground has been wet by rain or irriga-
ton, the water evaporates at the sur
face leaving the soluble salts behind at
this point. BY reason of capillary at
traction more water rises to take the
place of that which has disappeared,
bringing with 1t more alkali in solution
until finally a crust Of salts is formed
at the surface Of the soil. It is this
concentration Of injurious salts into a
strongly corrosive layer which causes
the greatest destruction.
Other bad effects of black alkali are:
1. Clay hard-pan, which results
from the union Of the black alkali with
finely divided clay at various depths
below the surface.
2. The loss of humus. which is car
ried away in solution with the aid OF
sodium carbonate.
3. The injury to the filth of adobe
soils, which assume q lumpy and un-
cultivable condition in the presence Of
black alkali.

Conclusions ON Lamb Feeding.
Last winter the Minnesota expert
ment station made some tests In lamb
feeding. The following are some Of
the conclusions reached:
1. That lambs possessed of sufficient
quality for winter feeding are not plen-
tiful in the state. since no little search
ing had to be made before suitable feed
ers could be found.
2. That with the rations used. lambs
that are being fattened in winter con-
sumo about three pounds Of food per
day, for every 100 pounds Of live weight.
3. That the average gains made by
the lambs in this experiment was 9.22
pounds per month, and without any sue
culent food, as for instance ensilage or
field roots
4. That in this experiment, the aver
age cost of making one pound Of In
crease in live weight was 5.44 cents or
less than the cost of producing it. re-
suit which is not seldom attained in
winter fattening.
5. That lambs do not gain so rapidly
in cold weather as when the tempera-
ture is moderate. notwithstanding the
greater consumption of food.
s. That in this experiment the great
est profit was obtained from the lambs
which were fed limited grain ration
of wheat screenings and oil cake, and
which were allowed liberty of access to
shelter at will; that next to these come
the lambs fed under cover; and that
the least profit arose from the lambs
to which wheat and oil cake were fed.

Another Advance Made.

The Kelley cure has been introduced
into the st. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Md. The good Sisters realize that in
the Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to the liquor and
morphine habits, and have made a
contract with the Keely Institute of
Maryland by which the Kelley treat
ment shall be administered at their hos
pital by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters of Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and in the service OF
suffering humanity. The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and is used
at the National home. Proving so ef-
fcacious the treatment is now given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, to the Off
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army. During the past two years the
States of Maryland, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO, Louisiana, N.rth Dakota, Wis
consin and others have by legislative
enactments provided that INDECENT
liquor and morphine habitues be given
the treatment.

CAPTURE of tho Competitor.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-Advices
have reached Washington confirming
the report from Havana of the capture
by the Spanish naval forces OF the
American Schooner Competitor, load
ed with arms and ammunitions of war
for the insurgents, and with party
of men aboard. Contrary to this re-
port, however, it was found that the
vessel came from Key West and not
from the Mosquito coast, as reported,
and there is reason to believe that the
Spanish officials were aware in ad-
vance of her departure from Key
West and were on the lookout for her
appearance on the Cuban coast. The
Competitor was seized at Punta Ber.
raco, on the north coast of Pinar del
Rio, and according to the Spanish re-
ports there can be no question of the
legality of the seizure, for she was
not. only inside the marine league
over which the Spanish jurisdiction
extends but at the moment the Span
iards swooped down on her. was act
ually engaged in landing men and
stores.

Teller Will Bolt.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Two nota.
Bile speeches by Senators Teller and
Sherman, representing opposing ele
ments on the financial question, were
heard in the Senate today. Mr.. Teller
addressed himself particularly to the
Ohio Senator, controverting the views
held by him, and maintaining that no
honest effort had been made in the
present Congress to pass tariff bill.
The Senator referred in passing to the
Mckinley candidacy, saying that the
motto of advance Agent of Prosperl-
ty" was delusive, as no prosperity
could come until financial conditions
were reformed. The climax of MIR.
Teller's speech was reached when he
announced that he would vote as he
spoke, and that he would not hesitate
to separate himself from the great
party with which he had been allied
forty years if it pronounced for the
oold standard.

tn the Same Tree.

| NASHVILLE, April 26.-At o'clock
this morning, Is masked men entered
the residence of the jailer at McMlnn'
vile, Tenn, overpowered the Jalier'
took his KEYS and entered the jail.
They were after William and Victor
Hills. who were awaiting trial charg-
cd with the murder of Carol Martin
in Vanburen county in August 1894.
When the mob entered the cell where
the Hills boys were confined, victor
snatched up bed slat and succeeded IN
knocking down two of the crowd be-
fore he was overpowered. William,
realizing that mis- doom was fixed, fell
into a swoon. Without giving the
Hills boys time to don any clothing,
the m asked men then proceeded to
their horses, and mounting rode quick
ly and silently out of town to point
about FIVE miles southeast of here,
near Shellsford, where they hung the
two brothers to the same tree.
The crime for which the Hills boys
were lynched was committed in Van
Buren county in 1894. Carol Martin,
du dSCu ClLlLCu WIZ 1NCo WIN hAS
daughter in the mountains of Van
Buren, and who was supposed to have
$1,000 in his house, was attacked one
evening in August 1894, about twilight
by two men with their faces blackened.
The old man, who was 50 years of age,
was murdered and his daughter, who
struck one of the men on the arm with
an axe, was shot in the leg. The men
finally made off without their booty,
the money having been thrown into
the grass by Miss Martin. The Hills
boys were arrested on strong circum-
stantial evidence. The case has been
continued several times in the Warren
county court, to which change of
venue took the case and, after convic-
ton, an appeal to the supreme court
resulting in reversal, the people be-

Many Reported Killed.

CoNCoRDIA, Kan, April 2S.-The
cyclone which swept through this
section of the state on Sunday even
ing was probably one OF the most
severe that Kansas has ever expert
enced. Its path was about 400 feet
wide and extended fully 20 miles. 1t
formed about Z o'clock Saturday even
ing near the little town OF st. Joseph,
in the eastern part of Cloud county,
and passed in a northeasterly direction
through the northern part Of Clay and
probably into the southern edge of
Washington counties. Fortunately,
it struck no towns, but its course was
through a thickly settled portion of
the Republican valley. The cyclone
was funnel SNAPPED and its power un-
limited. Houses and barns were lifted
into the air and dashed back to earth.
Trees were uprooted or broken off,
and everything in its track was de-
stroyed. The first victims of the storm
ware Eli Belthazzer and wife, living
about mile east of st. Joseph. The
family was just preparing to seek re-
luRo III Iuo C6lldr Wueu tuo Sloru
struck. The six children were all
more or less seriously injured, and it
is thought two of them will die.
About mile further east the home of
Julian Trembly was destroyed and he
was killed. The greatest damage was
done south of Clifton. Two farmers,
E P. Peterson and J. Haynes, were
killed, and number of others whose
names could not be learned. At one
place woman and child were killed,
and at another a 5-year-old boy. The
body of the latter has not yet been
found. Several people are reported to
be seriously injured south of Palmer,
and some of them fatally. The mum.
Der of killed is reported to be IL, but
the list will doubtless be increased by
another "a hours. Over 25 persons
are said to have sustained serious in
iuries. Over 20 families were rendered
homeless by the storm. The suffering
of those injured was rendered greater
by the severe hail and rain that close
ly followed the cyclone.

Weyler Rudely Warned.

HABANA, April 30.-A dynamite
bomb caused the explosion in the cap:
tain generals palace yesterday, and
not a gas engine as reported. The
noise was tremendous, and caused In
tense excitement in the palace and vi:
cinity. The generals officers rushed
about, giving orders. Even Weyler
left the room greatly excited. Only
one person was hurt slightly. The
others escaped miraculously. The
whole palace shook by the force OF
the explosion. Clouds of dust blinded
all persons inside, and many glass
windows were broken. The bomb des
troyed the partition wall of the prin'
cipal counting room and broke two
safes. The bomb was placed in the
water closet at the southeast corner OF
the palace on Mercaderes and Obispc
streets. The occurrence is the genera
topic of conversation. 1t is believed
to be the work of laborers. The gov
ernment says anarchists did it.. The
police are making diligent search, but
no arrest has been made yet. Strong
measures, it is said, will be adopted tc
prevent a repetition of similar acts
This happened at II a. m.

As to Pensions

COLUMBIA, April 30.-As has already
been stated the increase of the amount
appropriated for pensions from $50, 600
to $780, 900 has caused many thousands
of people to make applications and
hundreds of them are bound to be dis
appointed. There are hardly enough
application blanks to supply the de-
mand. The Comptroller General esti.
mates that there will be at least 1000
applications, whereas, under the old
law, there were only about 1900 who
received pensions. Instead of being
increased, there is every probability
that the number of pensioners will be
decreased. While the law doubled the
appropriation, it divided pensioners
and amounts they were to receive in
certain classes which, if paid, would
soon dispose of the appropriation en-
tirely even in one class. The law, also,
provides that where man has a net
income of 800 yearly from any source
he shall not have a pension, but there
are a great many who have that in
come Of 500 yearly who are making
applications. None such will receive
pensions, but there seems to be gen.
eral idea that almost every Confeder'
ate soldier can come in, while as "a
matter of fact the number of pension
ers will be increased very little, if at
all. Ifitis increased certainly pension
ers will not get what is provided for
in the Act, because the board is al
lowed toscale it down which will have
to be done if there is much of an in
crease in the numbers.-Register.

Suicide In Atlanta.

AUGUSTA, Ca, April 3O.-The dead
body of Gus Schlessinger who COM
mitted suicide, by taking morphine at
the Kimball house last Tuesday, was
found in a room in that hotel this af
ternoon. Schlessinger was a salesman
for Biseman and We'll, Whitehall
street clothiers. He was 35 years of
age. He came to Atlanta from Macon
several years ago, and had many
friends. Tuesday he registered at the
Kimball as GA. Brown, city" He
was given a room and had not been
seen since that time, until the cham.
ber maid found the partly decomposed
body this afternoon. The cause of the
suicide is unknown.
