Be careful not to use seed potatoes the

plant potatoes ON the same land that was
used for the crop last year, as there may
have been no traces of disease discovered,
yet it may have existed if even but slightly,

should be carefully examined and every

Carrots, beets and parsnips should be
planted early, so as to alluw the crops
full season in which to grow. They will
also escape the late weeds. The practice of
planting such crops after corn is put in is
to double the labor Of fighting weeds,
becomes laborous with crops grown from
small seeds. The land must be plowed
and made loose rs soon as possible, so as to
give the first weeds chance to grow, when
the cultivator and harrow should work the
land fine. 1t is useless to attempt to grow
such crops unless the seedbed is made en-
ceedingly fine.

value of each sheep was increased only one
dollar by the use of improved breeds not
only would the weight of the tleeces be
greater, but the increase in the value of
the sheep of only one dollar would be more
than an addition of 12l cents per pound on
all the wool produced. If farmers will aim
to produce better sheep they will get also
more wool, but the difficulty is that they

United States Commissioner j. >. NC
Cafferty Yesterday The G o has
published the account of the hearings
had before Commissioner McCaHerty
in this case. The material facts in the
case are &hese:
Lee Ian, who is sixteen years old,
came to this city a few weeks ago, di-
rectly from China. He was sent for
by his brother, Lee Chin, who keeps
a Chinese store on Wabasha street
Soon after his arrival in st. Paul, Lee
Ian was arrested, and then followed
the hearing before the United States
commissioner, on the application of
United States District Attorney String
er, asking for an order for the deporta-
ton of Lee back to China, under the
. law excluding from the United States
Chinese born in China and providing
for their deportation to that country.
Lees attorney, E. J. Darragh, inter
posed two defenses in his behalf. The
first was that Lee was born in Oak
land Cal, but was taken to China by
his parents when only one year Of age,
in which country he remained until
he sailed for the United States last
summer For a second defense, Lee
declared that he came to this country
as a student and a merchant and was
therefore not amenable to the present
law, which applies to Chinese laborers.
In rendering his decision yesterday
ton to the. noticeable fact that no
copy of the record of the birth of Lee
Ian in Oakland, Cal, has been intro
duced, although the law of California
at the time of Lees birth required an
official registration of the fact of the
birth, the names Of the child and of
the parents, etc" Here Commissioner
McGafferty cites sections 3023-3079 Of
the Political Code of California.
The defense that Lee came tC the
United States as a student and a mer-
chant is disposed of briefly in the COM
missiOner's decision which points cut
that no certificate from the Chinese
government showing that Lee came to
this country as a student or a mer-
chant was introduced as required by
the present law.
For these reasons" concludes Com
missioner McCafferty, Il am not salts
fed that the defendant was born in
the United States, and am of the opin-
ion that he is a Chinese person for
bidden by law to land within the
United States and to be and remain
here.
1T is, therefore, order that hereafter
said Lee Ian be removed from the
United States to China, and l order
that such deportation of the said Lee
Lam be made from the port of Seattle
in the district of Washington.
1T is further ordered that said Lee
Lam be and is hereby committed to the
United States marshal for the district
of Minnesota for the purposes afore-
said.'

The action was commenced for the

tention to become a citizen; pre-
empted a quarter section in St Louis
county. When he went to the Duluth
land office to prove up, the land ofilcefs
informed him that mis- had been
made in the survey of said land. and
that in all probability a resuryey
thereof would be ordered; that there
were numerous protests against 1t on
file there which were sufficient to raise
same That It was unnecessary for
plaintiff to D. otest or object to said
survey, or to file on said land, and
they advised him to wait until the

One of the interesting features of
the next biennial report Of the state

compilation from inspections now be-

Minnesota dairy cattle. The work of
herd testing has been going on for
several months now, each herd being
reported to the office of the commits

formation as to the age and breed.
daily milk product, time since last
calf, kind of food, and other remarks
that might bear on the science of milk
production.
To this is added; after Chemist Eber-
mann completes his analysis the spe-
cific gravity of the milk, and the per-
centage of fats. Some of the herds
in the southern part Of the state have
already shown astonishing figures, and
the report will be studied with inter-
est by the dairymen of the state.

NEW CASES OF DIpHTHERIA.
Explanation of the Seemingly Large
Number This Month.

Five new cases of diphtheria were re-
ported to the health office yesterday
This sWells the total number of cases
reported 50 far this month to sixty
one. The health officials claim that the
large number Of cases reported is due
to the work of the archaeological de-
partment. In October, 1895, sixty -four
cases were reported. and while the
number up to date is within three of
the cases in 1895, it is certain that all
the cases this month are reported,
while it is not at all likely that this
was done two years ago. As soon as
a physician is called in to attend a
case which has the symptoms of diph-
liberia. a culture is made of mucus
from the patients throat by the health
department and the question settled
beyond all doubt. This, the health Of
ficials say, explains why there are so
many cases reported as compared with
former years

occasion a paper was read by Rev. G.
E Bridgeman, OF Hamline, on Chris
tianity and Culture"
There was a very warm and very
interesting discussion of the paper, in
the course Of which Rev. David Mor-
gan declared his belief that the Bible
was not a revelation of God, to the
people of the present day, but is the
history of the revelations of God to the
prophets of olden times; th.t to under
stand it thoroughly required knowl-
edge of the conditions of those men un-
der which the revelations were made.
Rev. Mr.. Morgan was alone III his
belief the others of the dozen clergy
present all held that the scriptures
were a divine revelation to the people
of today as well as few thousand
