Washington. - Assistant Secretary
Vansderlip has sailed for Porto Rico
to familiarize himself with the finan-
cial conditions of the island, its posi-
bilities OF revenue and its requirements
of expenditure.
One of the most difficult problems
which presents itself for solution in
connection with the change in SOW
ereignty is that of the currency. 1t is
the Assistant Secretary's intention to
give especial attention to this subject
with view of speedy action on the
part Of the Treasury Department. His
first port will be San Juan, and after
looking into conditions there he will
go overland to Ponce.

Some farmers have lost their minds
on the subject OF growing wheat.
They grow year after year all the wheat
they can get on their ground, crowding
out other crops and killing the ground.
Wheat being regarded as the money
crop, they SOW only that, and do not
practice rotation. Farming must be
variegated, and everything that will
grow should be given trial, in order
that the soil may not be killed with
one kind OF product. The time now is
when there is more money in live stock
and less work required TO get better re-
turns. The fact is we need more live
stock on our farms and more acres de-
voted to other crops. Let us grow flax,
barley, oats, COW peas, more hay and
corn to feed the stock. Farming will
never pay SO long as those engaged in
it try to get rich by devoting nearly
all their time and best acres to the
growth OF one crop, let it be what it
may. Diversity farming; make changes
every year; when you make mistake,
why turn your mind upon the fact and
repeat it.

Three Spanish Vessels to be Raised at
Manila.

Manila.
Washington. - The United States
Navy will soon possess more than
sprinkling OF foreign-built war-ships.
Admiral Dewey has informed the Navy
Department that he has contracted
with Hongkong firm of wreckers to
raise three OF the Spanish war vessels
sunk in the battle OF Manila last May
day. The cost of raising the ships and
putting them in thorough repair will
be $50, 1000.
The work OF raising the three Spanish
vessels in Mania bay IL to be conducted
under the supervision sof Naval Con-
structor Caps, who, in connection
with another officer, has been compli-
mented in the following letter which
Admiral Dewey has transmitted to the
Navy Department:
Manila. Headquarters Depart
ment OF the Pacific and Military Gov
ernor: 1t gives me pleasure to bring
TO your notice for such action as you
may deem proper the great assistance
rendered me during the campaign end
ing in the capture of the city of Manila
by Lieutenant Brumby and Naval Con-
structor Capps, U. S. N. The efficient
cooperation OF the fleet and the troops
on shore was largely due to the intelli-
gent arrangement made by Lieutenant
Brumby, my chief signal officer and to
Mr.. Capps. l am greatly indebted for
valuable assistance rendered the officer
in charge OF the office OF military in
formation OF the Department of the
Pacific. WESLEY MERRITT.
This letter was addressed to Admiral
Dewey.
The vessels to be raised are gunboats
of large type, and, in the opinion of
Chief Constructor Hichborn, they will
be the very best kind OF craft for the
protection of the United States inter-
ests among the Philippines and along
the Asiatic coast. They are the sister
ships lsla de Cuba and Isla de Luzon
and the Don Juan de Austria. The
first two are vessels OF 1910 tons, 200
feet long, 80 feet beam and IL feet
inches draft. They are OF steel, with
twin screws, good protective decks and
an effective battery composed OF six
4.7-inch Honturia guns, four six
Founders, two one-pounder Norden-
feldts and two .53-inch Nordenfeldts
and three torpedo tubes. fheir speed
is placed at 1879 knots under forced
draft.
The Austria is little larger; her
tonnage being 1859, her length 2l0
feet, 32 feet beam and 1919 draft. She
was built in Cartagena in 1887. The
other two vessels were built by Sir
William Armstrong at Elswick in 1896.
The Austria's armament is four Al.
inch Hontroias, four six-pounders, one
machine gun and two torpedo tubes.
Besides these vessels. there are al
ready in the United States Navy the
New Orleans, the Albany. the Topeka,
the Manley, the Somers, the Alvarado,
the Leyte and the Sandoval, all Of
foreign build, some captured and some
purchased duringIthe late war.

Gobblers for Next Year.

Get rid of all male turkey as soon as
the market opens full for that class OF
stock, and get male from some source
which will insure against the possibil-
ity of his being related to the hens,
says the Poultry Keeper II a gobbler
has a dash of the wild blood in him,
say one-fourth, it will be an advantage.
The use of young gobblers should be
avoided. One that is two years old
should be preferred to yearling.
The hens may be as young as one
year, but if older it will be better.
The point should be to secure vigor in
the young ones, and as inbreeding and
the use of immature parents has done
much to cause loss to the young ones
Matched in the past, it is important to
secure strong young turkeys in order to
be able to raise larger number than is
usually done every year. The loss of
single young turkey in brood is
quite an item, considering its value for
market when it natures, and the safest
way to prevent Toss is to begin with
the breeding stock and secure vigor.-

Our success with hogs has always
been matter OF comment in whatever
locality we may have been from Color
ado to Tennessee. We have always
taken an interest in our hogs and
worked to the interest of ourselves and
the comfort and development OF the
swine. Success is attained in not let
ting pig stand still for day in its
growth. To accomplish this order re-
quires careful attention. We treat
sucking sow just rs we do our finest
Jersey COW, providing good place for
her and her family and giving her bal
anced rations she will force flow of
milk. We encourage her to eat hearth
ly and provide a place MS soon as the
pigs will eat where they can get at it
by themselves.
The warm skim-milk is given them
right from the separator. They are
fed shorts ground out of bran or corn
meal mixed with the sweet milk. Salt
and ashes are kept in boxes for them
at all times and in season grass pasture
ia provided, but there is nothing that
beats our old friend alfalfa. In winter
ensilage is fed, and let me say here
that liberal feeding OF ensilage during.
the period of no grass is one of the best
things for either breeding or fattening
hogs. 1t promotes health and growth.
Last April We bought SOW and nine
pigs when the latter were week old.
They were put in pasture and fed
mostly on separator milk. Some
ground feed was fed bat not much.
At sixty days of age the pigs
weighed 81 pounds each. At eighty
days, rs pounds each. At eighty days
rs pounds each. At 100 days, l02
pounds each. At four and one-half
months they weighed lao pounds each.
The nine are as fine litter as one
would wish to see. One of the great
giants OF dairy herds is in the profit de-
rived from the skim-milk which can
be fed sweet right from the separator.
Do not let the milk stand in filthy
barrel to sour and turn to whey, but
feed it at once. DO not, as often see
dairy farmers do, try to make hogs fat
ten on half the amount OF milk they
require. Make the hogs fit the amount
of milk, not the milk fit the number
OF hogs. -Field and Farm

Tacoma. = The Oriental Steamship
Company will open its new line be-
tween TIongkong, Yokohama and San
Francisco in December, according to
advices received per Empress of China.
The Nihon Maru (6l5l tons), first Of
the company's steamers TO arrive from
England, reached Yokohama ON Octo-
Der 20. After being docked for minor
repairs she was opened for public in
spection early in November. About
November 25 she will go to Hongkong,
whence she win sail for San Francisco,
calling at Shanghai, Nagasaki, Kobe
and Yokohama. Two other steamers,
the America Maru' and Hongkong
Maru, are en- route from England.
Another battle has been fought in
Formosa. Four hundred and fifty
rebels were killed and many wounded.
The Japanese loss was also large. The
Japanese Government recently granted
a large bounty to native chiefs in re-
turn for their submission. Some OF the
chiefs complained OF an unfair distribu-
ton Of these bounties and induced
their followers to rise again. Six COM
panies OF Japanese infantry, sappers
and troopers marched against and sur
rounded them, killing the number
stated.
A crisis exists in Korea. Natives
led by the Independence Club of Seoul
demanded the dismissal Of Cabinet
officers who favored reviving the old
torture system OF punishment CT prison
ers and Of depriving people OF the right
OF memorializing the Government.
The Emperor was compelled to dismiss
his Premier and Ministers OF War, JUS
tice, Finance, Imperial Household and
Agriculture and Industry. Yum Yong
son was nominated Premier. His APP
pointment raised a storm OF indigna-
tion. because the Independence Club
had lately secured his dismissal from
other offices. Ills residence was be-
seiged by the agitators and he quickly
resigned. More satisfactory Ministers
were then named. The Independence
Club is composed of Korean reformers,
who are fighting for justice and bet
ter government. Its delegates who
demanded changes in the Cabinet sat
in front Of the new palace gate for sew
eral days, until the Emperor acquiesced
in their demands. The club now re.
quests the organization OF the Diet, but
the Government rejects the proposal
on the ground that Korea is not YET
sufficiently advanced to have national
congress. The Emperor has promised
other reforms, including establishment
OF schools for girls.

A Spn Auswer.

An English tramp steamer had Just
been tied to wharf In Boston. From
her dingy hold there leaped upon the
dock man who was evidently sto-
ker He was black with CRIME, reck-
less Of face, eager for release from an
almost unbearable confinement, and
ready for any animal qualification for
which he could find opportunity.
As he emerged upon the main street,
looking probably for the nearest saloon,
he saw colored woman walking Sc
dately toward him, carrying basket OF
apples. Full OF mischief, the stoker
stumbled against her, upset the basket
upon the pavement, and then stood
aside to laugh at the invectives which
he supposed his trick would bring forth.
But the old colored woman did not
even look at her tormentor. She bent
and quietly picked up her apples There
was not even an expression of resent
ment upon her face. She bent here and
stopped there, and when she had recov-
cred her last apple she turned upon the
astonished man with pathetic dignity
that forced respect. and said. Ia tones
Of simple kindness:
God forgive You. my son. as do"
The rudeness that had counted on q
bitter berating was softened In an in
slant. The mans coarse lips parted. his
hard eyes fell, he tried to speak; then
he thrust his hands into his pockets and
pulled out all the silver he had. This
he forced upon the silent woman.
Take 1t" he said. and then added, as
she looked at him In establishment.

The reasoning of the goldites on the
present financial condition is the same
that construes the national commercial
depression as prosperity. They con
clude that the great amount of idle capi-
tai in the banks proves that that there is
a sufficency of circulating medium if ii
were properly employed. The contrary
fact really is proved. The smaller the
supply of money the greater becomes the
tendency to hoard and the more difficult
it is to secure money for enterprises Of
various natures, such as manufacture.
The continued contraction of the cur
rency since the war, while the population
has been constantly increasing, has
caused the decline of prices and the fall
ing of of profits.
