THE REAL CULPRITS.
Chaplain Bateman Intimated People Who
Forced the War Were to Blame
For Horrors.

PITTsBURG, Sept. 12.-Captain Charles

Chaplain Bateman's talk was SO wei APP.
preciated that at the close that rare
thing III church, a tremendous burst of
applause arose.
He described the popular clamor for
war, which the president opposed, not
believing the Spanish government re-
sponsible for the blowing up of the war
ship Maine. But the people were de-
termined on war and they got it. We
had small army and weak navy and
there was lack of equipment and sup
plies to send an army to Cuba. General

yet plain language, told of the horrors
of the campaign against Santiago. In
language that was unsparing in it's de-
nunciation and criticism he pictured
the Cuban whom the American went to
free as a coward, a thief and an migrate,
and predicted that before the question
of the governing of Cuba was settled
that the United States would have
another war on its hands, and this time
with the Cuban insurgent.
At another point, he described the
awful horrors of disease and yellow
fever in the hospitals. It was utterly
impossible, he SAID, to care properly for
the wounded and sick and stated that
supplies were inadequate.
For all the suffering" he concluded
in part, ''there must be some one re-
sponsible. The real ones will never be
punished. 1t is proposed now to sacri-
fee some one among the public officials,
who did nothing but obey the popular
clamor"

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES.

In the business, as we'll as in the so
cial world, says the National Stockman
and Farmer, appearances count for
much. It is possible that they count
for too much sometimes, and that real
merit is passed by for something less
worthy that makes a better show. But
this is ''the way of the world" and as
we cannot change we should take ad-
vantage it. A breeder of live stock
without proper stationery, business
cards, ETC., would not be as fRvorably
regarded as one who is up to date in all
of these little things. A breeder whose
stock does not show it's real worth be,
cause it is not in condition cannot dis
pose Of it to best advantage. In all
kinds Of marketable produce appear
ance counts for dollars and cents. These
things are we'll understood. But this
matter might be carried farther. The
farms appearance has a certain influ
ence, though it may not be reckoned
wholly in money. a we'll kept farm, a

and his family; and the love for their
home may form bond between them
which is never broken. But what Of
the appearance of the farmerG Here

an important one. To a certain extent

ably at some disadvantage in any part
Of the business world where he is not
well known, and at q serious disadvan-
tage in society. Many farmers are
needlessly careless in their personal ap.
pearance, and such should realize that
it is liable to count against them in
business and society, where ones posi-
tion is the greatest Importance. There
is no need Of extravaganza, or any at
tempt to keep up with the styles; but
there is need of greater attention to
this important subject of appearance
on the part of many people.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Many years ago Benjamin Franklin
said:
''Plow deep and you will have corn
to sell and keep" and this means that
deep plowing will bring larger yield
of crop than shallow plowing will do
If anything ever was thoroughly
tested, shallow ploWing has been, for it
is general complaint throughout the
country that the yield of crops is con
stantly on the decrease from year to
year until the average yield of all
farm c:ops do not begin to pay the
cost of production, and the only cause
is found in the general practice of shall
low blowing.
This depletion of soil so nearly uni
versal that takes you after few years
of cultivation must be arrested or the
f1nall result will be that farming will
not pay, that is the yield of crop will
not meet the actual living expenses and
the farmer will be compelled to aban
don his calling.
The great object to be accomplished
is the storage of moisture deep down in
the earth and there kept until it is
needed at the surface whence it is
brought for the use of growing crop by
the capillary action Of the earth and
unless an abundant supply is had the
yield of crop will be diminished.
A constant supply of moisture is alb
solutely indispensable to the production
Of the largest yield of crop.
How important it becomes that the
farmer cultivate the ground so as to
insure the largest use of the moisture
that comes down in the rains and in
the melting snow.
If it is found that shallow ploWing
does not produce the results required
then the practice must be abandoned
and the deep plowing must be resorted
to in order that the greatest results
may be obtained.
When shallow portion Of the soil is
plowed the subsoil below the plowed
surface is too hard to absorb the moist.
ure of rains before time is allowed to
carry it off by the evaporating infu-
ences of sun and air, and so just as
much Of the moisture Of rains and
melting SHOWS passes off in this way
and is wholly lost to the use of the
growing crop. Deep pIowing, there
fore, is the only eff ;ient remedy and ia
an efectual one for all purposes of
agricultural production.
By opening up the ground to that
depth that will enable the soil to absorb,
the rains as soon as they fall upon the
earth and before time is given for evap-
oration the use of moisture is conserved
to the greatest possible extent and so
the greatest results in the yield of farm

THE PREVENTION OF CHICKEN
CHOLERA AND HOG CHOLERA.

I have a theory about the cholera,
both chicken and hog. shall not dis
card it, because observed in the news
paper this morning that professor in
an agricultural college holds one like
unto it. My theory is that cholera is
simply a corn and dirt disease.
Every one knows that chickens may
be too fat to be healthy; believe the
same thing is true about hogs. Hogs
need fresh air, pure water, and exer-
else as much as any animal. Unfor.
tunately the very portiy do not crave
exercise: they need it, they wax fatter
and perish for the lack of it, but they
slothfully dread it. Surely there is
touch of tragedy in the lot of the pig.
lis a beast that of its own notion
would live cleanly. No beast loves bet
ter to bathe. See the poor creatures
making desperately for any muddy
pool. They bathe in muddy water just
as the people of st. Louis bathe in it,
arguing that muddy water is better
than no water at all! Yet this naturally
clean brute is driven to dwell in filthy
pen or a cramped field, and compelled
by the hunger that pursues him to feed
on food that has an opprobrious name
OF it's own. Does any sensible person
suppose that he likes it9 / cannot
wonder that he dies easily under such
circumstances. True, cholera does at
tack the wild hog, but it is commonly
during the dry season when the pools
are not so accessible; and wild hogs
fall victims to base appetites. and feed
on carrion in an inexpliceble but not
unpunished way. The fowls are like
the beasts-they would be clean: they
need dust instead Of water, but they do
not any more than pigs want dirt,
especially dirt and water, which is
called mud. The condition of fows in
most barn yards in the country is
enough to excite a humane society.
They are fed on corn and pickings, the
pickings being whatever they can for.
age for themselves. They are permit
ted to drink out of cutters through
which all manner Of sewerage may be
making it's noisome way. Ard at night
they go by force into sitting poultry
house. Why shouldn't they have chol-

pounds, such as muriate of potash, and
acid phosphate. It gives these cheml
Gals time to become digested and dis
tributed in the soil and offers the ad
vantage OF enabling the farmer to pro
duce more than third of his fertili
zers. Another good effect of practiC-
ing the employment of green manures
upon the farm is that it gradually leads
to a system of diversified farming
which is most valuable source Of pro-
lection from periods of agricultural
depression. ALI one crop countries,
no matter what the crop, must of ne
cessity sooner or later be subject to
periods of violent depression. Diversity,
rotate, economize and produce as much
fertilizer upon the farm as possible.
Apply potesh and phosphate to the
green manures and plow under.
