NEW CALL OF VOLUNTEERS.
Part VIII he Used to Fiji Present
Regiments.

Washington May 30.-About 20 COVER
nors of states and territories have replied
to Secretary Ayers kilograms asking for
their views regarding the filling of the
present volunteer regiments to their max
imum strength before beginning the for
nation of new organizations Some of
these indicate preference for the recruit
ing of entirely new regiments as, under
the first call, leaving the present organiza-
tions with the number of men now con-
tanned in them, though practically all
promise the government any amount of
troops that are wanted. 1t is the pres
ident's desire, however, that the organiza-
tions already formed should be filled to
their maximum strength as the law pro
vides and this policy will be carried out in
the recruiting under the second call. The
apportionment to the states has been
made up but not yet given to the public.
Through urgent representations to Secre-
tary Alger some of the states were per-
mitted under the first call to furnish a
greater number of troops than they were
legally entitled to on the basis of popu-
lar representation. Consequently in rails
ing the 10000 men under the second call
these inequalities will be remedied as far
as practicable with the result that some
of the states may not be called on to
furnish any of the men needed. This
course probably may give rise to discon
tent in states where men wish to serve
but it is regarded as the only fair way tC
proceed
Adiutant General Corbin said that il
had been definitely decided today to use
about $4,000 of the volunteers to be raised
under the new call in filling out deficient
regiments already organized under thu
old call 1t would take about that mum
Der he thought, to fill each company VI
to the maximum limit of 1860 men. Thu
remaining $4,000 men will be organized
into regiments of three battalions eacl
and distributed among the states and ter
ritories in exactly the same proportion a
under the first call. No cavalry however
would be accepted, and only a limite'
number of artillery.

SAMPSON OFF KEY WEST.
BattIeships MotionIess Under n
Tropical Sun.

On Board the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Wanda, Key West, May 29-Sun-
day, with the fleet waiting, watching in
silent, sunlit seas, group of great battle
ships motionless under the tropical sun,
broad decks, scorched and scared by day,
languid and dreamy under the stars by
night, fleet of powerful sea fighters, an
army of brave men drifting at sea wait
ing for something to do-that tells the
story of Rear Admiral SIMPSONS fleet for
many days and nights. The ships of the
fleet stand close together in small groups.
Hour after hour passes and the position
is not changed Great volumes of smoke
occasionally issue from the tunnels and
curl unswayed by the wind into the sky.
The men drag impatiently through the
drills and crawl impatiently away into the
shaded hooks of the decks and grumble
at the inactivity. During the day the
music on board swells far out over the
silent water, and at night voices are plain
ly heard from ship to ship. Stretching
away to the sea line the sky is cleaning
and motionless and one can scarcely mag
inc it the same sea that has been tumbling
for weeks past. 1t is picture of trop-
zeal languor.
Method I'm Inactivity.
But there is method in Simpsons mac
tivity. Until he is definitely advised that
the Spanish fleet is imprisoned in Santiago
de Cuba harbor he is here in position to
move quickly in any direction where the
Spanish ships may appear. fthe Span
iards should escape Schley and make for
eastern seaports of the United States he
is in position in a few hours run to cut
them off in the Windward passage. One
or more scout boats are kept in that posi-
ton constantly. On the other hand if
the Spaniards should come around the
western end of Cuba with the hope of get
ting into Havana he is here where he can
intercept them on short notice. 1t is
irksome to wait here day after day.
A most vigilant watch is kept by the
fleet day and night in hope that the Span
ish fleet may come in sight. The sailors
hang over the rails scanning the horizon
and the gunners lie in the shadow of the
big rifles, longing for chance to see the
monsters laundering.

TO GOVERN THE PHILIPPINES
rs GIVEN LARGE AUTHORITY.
General Merritt Receives Exhaus-
tive InstructiOns-Twen Thou
sand Men for the Expeditions
Cable From America by Way of
Hawaii.

New York, May 3l.-The state depart
ment has mailed to General Merritt his
exhaustive instructions for the govern
ment of the Philippines, says the Wash
ington correspondent of the Tribune.
These embody not only full details for
the control Of the military and naval
forces in establishing United States SOW
ereignty over the Philippine group, which
were prepared by the war and navy de-
partments for Incorporation in the in
structions, but are understood to clothe
the commanding general with greater dis
cretionary powers than have ever up to
this time been granted to an agent of this
government. Except in his relations with
foreign powers, growing out of possible
complications in the east, which are to
be referred to Washington for negotiation,
General Merritts control of affairs will
be practically supreme. The instructions
throughout bear every evidence that the
United States intends to retain permanent
control of this. islands.
In this connection it is understood to-
day that arrangements are already being
made to lay a cable from San Francisco
by way of Hawaii, directly to Manila and
that work will be undertaken as matter
of necessity the moment the authority
for expenditure can be secured from con-
gress.
Twenty Thousand Men.
By direction of the president formal
orders have been prepared for issue today
adding 5000 men to the department of the
Pacific under General Merritt, increasing
the force to 10000 men. While General
Merritt was promised a week ago that
this increase would be made if possible,
difficulties insurmountable in character
were presented and it was only on the
success achieved by the war department
yesterday, in securing the execution of
contracts much earlier than anticipated,
that it was found possible to redeem the
promise. These related not only to
transportation but to the arms, ammu-
milton, uniform and other requisite equip
ment, it having been feasible up to this
time to secure these essentials for only
1000 men.
General Merritt was informed last night
of the improved prospects for augment
ing his force and was requested to desig-
nate such additional volunteer regiments
from the east as he desired for duty in
the Philippines with the assurance that
his wishes would be respected.
1t is understood that he contemplates
asking for at least one regiment from
New York another from Illinois and from
the District of Columbia a third. 1t is
likely Colonel Jay Torreys mounted
Rocky mountain riflemen will be addeC
to the expedition, which is thus far de
ficient in the cavalry arm.

SECURING in CALVES.

Only About Ten Per Cent. Of Those
Attacked Are Saved.
Securing in calves gives trouble on
all, and sometimes causes very serious
less on some farms. It is an infectious
dysentery in young animals, and fire.
quently less than ten per cent. of those
attacked are saved. The more general
trouble is known as white scours or gas
tro-enteritis, and most farmers have a
private remedy for it: A great thing is
to prevent scour if possible by the care
full changing of food and attention to
diet generally. On looking through the
cow houses on a large Danish dairy
farm recently 1 noticed that in the
troughs in the calf pens there were
always two Jumps for the animals to
lick. One was the customary piece of
rock salt and the other piece of chalk.
To- an inquiry, the learned professor
who had the farm under his direction
replied that it was to keep the calves
from becoming sour in the stomach.
He added that rock salt and chalk were
easily accessible, and the calves were
never or rarely troubled with the COM
piaint which is so prevalent on Ameri-
can farms. In all probability it may
be an old-fashioned precaution, known
to many people, as prepared chalk is
a constituent of some remedies for
diarrhea and securing, but it is not
generally followed. 1t is easy of trial,
and those who put it to test would do
well to relate their experience, favor
able or otherwise, as the case may be,
for the benefit of others.-Homestead

How to Develop Thena Into what

The heifer is the mother Of the dairy
COW, and the heifer will be what her an
stecedents and your care make her. It is
too late to look after the antecedents of
the calves already born, but not too late
to keep them in a growing condition,
and growing into what they ought to
be. II designed for beet, says a writer
in New York Produce Review, feed
freely with corn; il designed for the
dairy, oats are most excellent food.
They will not be so fat as they would
if fed on corn, but fatness is not what is
desired in dairy animal. On the con-
t1ary, it is, something to steer clear
of. If you teach the heifer to fatten
she will not depart from the habit when
she is cow. If you want her to excel
at the pail give her food that is rich
in muscle-making elements rather than
7 q !fattening food. Skim milk is good
for dairy heifer UP toseveral months
of age, and when she is weaned from
milk oats will serve an excellent pur-
pose. In truth, oats should be fed be-
fore the diet of skim milk is withdrawn.
It is far from impossible to ruin heifer
SO far as milk production goes by feed
ing too much rich food, and it is posi-
bic to hurt her seriously by withhold
ing suficiency of food. Of the two
evils too much food is worse than too
little, but it is less liable to occur, for
where one is injured by too much food,
probably 100 are injured by too little,
and it is a safe guess to make that at
least half of the heifer calves are fed
too much like steers for them ever to
make the best kind of cows. Choose
corn and timothy hay for the steers,
and oats and clover hay for the heifers.
In feeding hay, early cut hay for heifers
and later cut for steers is in the right
line

MICE-GNAWED TREES.

If Treated I'm Time They Can He Saved
as u General Thing.
When the bark of young trees gets
gnawed off either by mice or rabbits
if taken in time, before the bark gets
too dry, they may be saved. When the
bark is not cut off completely around
the tree one of the best ways of saving
it is to take rather dry cow manure.
mix with it an equal quantity of loamy
soil, wet up to the consistency of thick
paste and spread it entirely over the
wound, covering and tying on with a
cloth and leaving it on until it rots of.
If the wound extends clear around
the tree so that sap circulation is en-
tircly cut off, three or four scions can
be inserted, taking care to see that the
inner bark of the scion and tree fit
closely together: Use grating wax to
hold in place and then wrap with a
cloth band. A little care in this way
will often save a tree that would other
wise be lost. It will be found good
plan to go through the orchard occa-
sionally, even though protection mas

injured care for them at once.
Winter is a good time to graft one
year-old stocks. The work can be done
indoors if the scions have been cut in
good season and properly stored. In
grating care must be taken to keep
varieties separate, tying each up in sep
arate bundles and marking them.
In grating one-year-old stock the top
should be off below the lowest bud.
Make smooth slanting cut and then
cut the scion to fit it. Have grating
wax spread upon muslin or some kind
of thin cloth, cut in narrow strips.
Wrap it two or three times round and
tie with wooden Irvine. This is to hold
it in place until a start to grow is made.
This is the simplest form of grating.
Another way is to cut the scion wedge
shaped; split the stock, taking little
Of the center wood out and insert the
scion, tying as in whip grating.
The idea is to bring the inner bark Of
the scion and stock together, as this is
where the growth together commences.
