A Shipping Expe riment.

Every farmer In the United States
ought to be Interested In experiments
which have been made during the past
year by the Great Eas tern Railroad
Company of England to bring the farm
ers and market garden rs into direct
communication with the consumer.
The system brought into operation by
the Great Eastern Ra llway enabled
the farmers along its route to send
produce by passenger tain into Lon
don and suburban tow ms at the re-
duced rate of fourpente for twenty
pounds. and one penny additional for
every Eve pounds or part thereof up to
sixty pounds. This includes free de-
livery to the consumer II within three
miles of the station. A correspondent
writes to the London Times that the
result has exceeded al expectations,
and that the average number of boxes
sent under these special rates is about
5000 per month, which failed to sup
ply the demand. The company com
piled list of the farmers and market
gardeners In their district who were
ready to forward produce direct to the
consumer. mis- list YVES freely clrcu-
lated among London consumers, who
correspondent with the farmer chosen
and received produce fresh from the
farm delivered at the door without the
aid of a middleman. lit Is not pos
sible that the railroads will take such
an advanced step in this country with
out the aid of some Inside influence.
The grangers would do well to under
take to push the experiment along one
or two lines of railroad TOR test case.
The transaction should be direct with
the railroad companies with no added
cost of an extra differed company who
would be likely to take the lions share
of the profits. The express companies
do much of the delivery now required
by such trade, but their charges are too
high. The railroad com pany could do
1t much cheaper and M pre- direct and
satisfactory Grange Homes.

Wherever salt Is sown so that II
comes in contact with terminating
seeds 1t will rot and destroy them.
The first germ of seeds is very tender,
and as 1t starts out the seed gives out
some moisture which dissolves the salt.
The effect of very small quantities of
salt Is to decompose vegetation of all
kinds. A large amount might pickle
II and prevent decomposition. But
either small or large 1t Is destructive
of the germs of vegetable life. But If
there Is great deal of rainfall the
salt Is dissipated and so mixed with
surrounding soil that little injury to
the seed Is produced.

GENERAL MILES REPORT.
Questions of Indian Treatment and
Coast Defense.

GOMsS DefennS.
Washington, Nov. 13.-In his an
nual report to the secretary Of war.
Major General Miles, commanding the
army, recommended liberal appro-
priahion for replacing the present de-
creasing and Anticipated post build
ings, especially those On what was for
merly the Indian frontier. General
Miles believes that the freedom of the
country of late from Indian outbreaks
is to be ascribed to the fact that the
Indians now receive better treatment
from the government; that they are
more impressed with the power of the
army to punish them, and that their
affairs are in many cases managed by
competent army officers Therefore,
he recommends that this same policy
as to the Indians be continued.
General Miles again devotes large
portion of his report to the considera-
tion Of questions of coast defense and
renews forcibly all the recommends
tions on that subject made in bis
former reports, Ii is recommended
that liberal appropriations be made for
the manufacture of guns, their emplace-
ments, quarters and barracks. The
estimate that General Miles makes for
the next year for the work of the
ordnance, engineers and quartermas-
ters' departments at the different coast
points includes the following:
San Diego, 5000, 900; San Francisco,
5000, $50; mouth of the Colum bia river,
1864, 325; Puget sound, 1894, 900.
General Miles renews his former
recommendations for an increase of
the army on the ground that it has not
kept pace with the increased wealth of
public and private interests, and he
suggests that the enlisted strength Of
the army be fixed at one soldier to
every 2,000 people. as a minimum, the
maximum strength not to exceed one
soldier for 1000 population. the
strength to be determined within the
limits according to the necessities and
requirements of the nation.
He points out the Importance of hav-
ing at least two stations east Of the
Rocky mountains, and one west, suita.
BILE for the accommodation of one regi-
ment of cavalry, and renews the recon-
mendations made last year concerning
the use of bicycles and motor wagons,
and the promotion of competent enlist
ed men to the grade of second lieuten-
ants after five years service.

Keeping Hens Busy.

All fowls get too much corn In fall
and early winter, especially If they are
on farm that produces corn. This is
bad for them, not only because corn Is
in itself fattening ration, but because
fowls can quickly fill themselves with
1t and without any exercise whatever.
1t Is this lack of exercise as we'll as too
much fat-forming food that makes
folws lazy, fat and unproduetive of eggs
at just the time when eggs are likely to
bring their highest price.

Animals in Damp Weather.

Nearly all the animals bn farm are
usually healthy when the weather is
dry and cold, but dampndss is disagree
able to them the same IS to humans.
They are subject to coughs, colds,
rheumatism, etc, hence when the
weather is damp they should have
quarters that are dry a nd which do
not permit cold draughts to flow over
them. Leaves or cut stra W as bedding
Will assist in absorbing the moisture
and also prevent loss of warmth to a
certain extent.

Effects of Impure Water.

Most of the best dairy regions of the
country are where there are natural
springs of pure water. These sections
are usually good for grass. but we have
always thought that the superior water
helped the dairyman to make q better
quality of butter, and so command the
highest price in the market. Wherever
the water is not good. and 1t is consid-
cred desirable to engage In dairying.
the difficulty may be remedied by
sinking driven wells with casing deep
enough to find supplies of water as
clear and pure as from any spring.
This water will be of the same temper
allure winter and summer, and should
be warmed before being offered to
mich cows, as nothing checks milk
supply more quickly than giving cows
water so cold that they will not drink
what they require.

war Between China ANA japan.

The recent conflict between China
and Japan began with the declaration
of war by the Mikado July 81, 1894,
and closed with an armistice, after
ward made permanent, on March 20,
1895. Ostensibly begun by the Japan
ese for the purpose of forcing reforms
in Corea, then a dependency Of China,
but in which japan had large CONNER
cial interests, 1t was really one of those
contests for supremacy which, sooner
or later, are bound to come between
neighboring and rival States. The diff
ficulty In Corea was merely the occa-
sion; the real cause was the intense
rivalry between China and the Japan
csc empire.

have been by what may be called inter.
nal development, while in addition to
this factor, the English has accretions
from many sources. The wonderful

pies as merchants and colonists has
had its influence on their language.

There Is no easily grown fruit that
gives greater or more certain profit
than the German prune. They were in
troduced into this country by Germans
many years ago, and for time these
furnished the only market for them.
But the prune as a fruit for drying has
entirely surpassed the plum, and
though 1t is always dried whole, the
seed is not troublesome to the eater.
The Pacific Coast States have furnish
ed most of the prunes for commerce.

that IL more grown near our large

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant forts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
BED and gives most general satisfaction.
