The Delay WiH Occasion Sadness

One OF the most unfortunate things
that has yet happened in connection
with our soldier boys at Manila, is the
delay 10 transit OF boxes sent by friends
from all over the state TO Boise. 10 go
from there to San Francisco, and by

days by freight TO get them through TO

our Idaho boys hearts when disap-
pointed by the reception OF no token of
remembrance a. this anniversary sea-
son 10 q far-ofi land can scarce be i'm
sgined. 1t strikes us AS a picture so
sad In contemplation as to be heart
breaking.

discloses those accountable Tor it, GER
iainly they should not be permitted TO

The primary cause of the horrible
saster to the steamship La Bour-
gogne was the fact that 1t was moving
at high rate of speed in heavy fog.
Very likely this had been the usual
custom Of La Bourgogne on previous
goyages. On every such occasion,
however, risk was taken which no
steamship owner has right to take
with the lives of passengers. Times
without number the risk has been
taken without being attended with the
disaster that always threatens the
steamer moving rapidly in fog. 1t
was inevitable, however. that the con-
tinual coquetting with danger must
finally prove disastrous. La Bourgogne
dlsregarded the precaution once too
often. and the vessel went to the bot
tom. carrying most of its passengers

RIse of the English Language.


We all know, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. that the English Ian.
guage has been growing at a remark.
able rate during this century, and that
It has been spreading over the whole
globe. But few. however, really com.
prehend how rapid this growth has
been. At the opening Of the century
French was spoken by 31,OOO.OOO peo.
pie. German by 100000 900, Russian by
3O,OO0.OO0. Spanish by 27,O0O,OOO, En-
glish by 21,00O000. and italian by 49,
100000. To-day English is the Ian
gunge Of 13O,0OO,QQO French Of 45,OOO..
900, German Of 10000 900, Russian Of
75,OOO,OO0. Spanish Of 35,OOOOO0, and
Italian Of 35,000,000. In other words,
during the present century English has
not only risen from the fifth place to
the first, but has gained enormously on
the rest In relative magnitude, expand
ing from about 13 per cent. of the total
to over 30 per cent. With this increase
Of the English speaking people the Ian.
guage itself has kept pace. Concurrent
with this growth OF the language there
has been an equal, II not greater, in.
crease In knowledge. Three hundred
years ago one man could know nll there
was to be known. To-day one man can
know thoroughly only one small branch
of one science. This incredse of knowi.
edge has been most rapid during the
last part Of the present century. More
than any other cause, the progress OF
modern invention and science has
brought about an enormous extension
of the language. Thousands OF techni.
cal words and expressions now in com.
mon use would never have been coined
but for the innumerable parts of the
never ending list of new inventions In
mechanics and discoveries In science
In no better way can this rapid increasi
In knowledge, and thereby In the mum

Cosmos, French scientific review
says that South American farmer has
recently made an accidental discovery
OF great value to gardeners and for
lists.
1t was to the effect that leaves of
the tomato plant will drive insects
away from other plants. He covered
tomato leaves over some young shrubs
he wished to protect from the sun and
from small insects, and was delighted
to find that the latter cleared out as
soon as they got the odor of the to-
mato leaves.
He then extended the same treat
ment to an entire row of young peach
trees, and his success was complete.
To render the process more simple he
t:ied decoction of the fresh tomato
leaves as spray on other trees and
shrubs and found that he had per-
fectly effective weapon which cost
practically nothing. He also found
that spray of the same kind would
keep flies off his horses.

From time to time this country is
startled by publications issued from
high schools and colleges as to the
appearance of this or that weed in
some localities and warning cul tiva-
tors against them.
Learned and long descriptions are
given of these particular weeds and
general alarm is excited by supposed
new trouble. Very few of these new
weeds are worthy, however, of n
thought, so far rs particular cultiva-
tion of the soil is concerned. The
cultivator expects to hoe and cultivate
among his crop, and one weed ia no
more to him than another. This is
especially true of annual weeds, which
do not flower until after the cultivator
has been through. The prickly let
tuce is an illustration of this; its boz
tanical name is lactuca scariola. Con-
tinuous warning against its appear
ance is heard everywhere, but it does
not come into flower until July, and
long before that the cultivator has
destroyed it. No cultivator need fear
any annual weed. Serious trouble
comes from those which have running
root stocks. In that case every little
piece of root will make new plant
In this list we might name the Cana
dian thistle, the English bindweed
(Convolvulus arvensis), the so-called
sachaline (Polygonum sachalinense,
Solanum Carolinaum) and the couch
grass (Triticum repens). And even
these can be destroyed by two or
three successive hoeings or cultivat-
ings. 1t is an exceptional case when
plant lives without leaves during
one season. The old question of
dealing with destructive weeds is a
very simple one-we have either to
hoe them out before they have a
chance of making seeds or prevent
them from having perfect leaves dur
ing one seasons growth. The intelli-
gent cultivator knows this so well that
he is not alarmed by the appearance
of new weed, but rather enjoys it
as it adds somewhat to his botanical
knowledge. --Meehan's Monthly.

Raising Seedlings.

The process of raising plants of
various kinds from seeds extends over
the greater portion of the year, and
no time is more important than the
present in this respect. There ara
many plants of which seeds can be
sown now with better prospects of
success than at any other, and amongst
them may be noted calceolarias, prim-
ulas, cyclamens and cinerarias, all of
them being great fayorites with ANA
teur growers. OF course, where pos
sible, the boxes, pots or pans of seeds
must be placed in the greenhouse, but
fair proportion will germinate in a
warm window if they are care
fully looked after. Use light soil, and
water it ellprior to sowing the seeds,
which need not be covered with soil.
Place ON the receptaclea piece of glass
aud over that brown paper or damp
moss, and, until the seeds vegetate. no
further attention will be required be-
yond wiping the glass quite dry each
morning. As soon as the tiny plants
can be seen the paper must be re-
moved, and the glass slightly tilted.
AS they attain size, pricking off and
eventually potting will be necessary,
and every effort should be made to
keep the plants constantly growing

Skim Milk for Chickens.

With the purpose of studying the
effect of skim milk diet ON young
growing chickens an experiment was
conducted at the Indiana agricultural
experiment station in which two lots
of chickens were under observation.
There were ten chickens of two breeds
in each lot, ranging from four to six
weeks of age at the beginning of the
experiment Each lot received the
same food, care and treatment, ex-
cepting one was fed all the skim milk
wanted, while the other was given
none. The grain fed consisted of two
parts crushed corn, one part bran and
one part ground oats. They were
also fed cracked bone, cabbage aud
lettuce. When the experiment began
the total weight of one lot of chickens
was only one-half an ounce more than
the othor. The experiment lasted
from July II to September 8.

TrellIs for Tninnfaea

While the tomato can be and often
is grown with its vines lying on the
ground, the fruit rIpens more evenly
and perfectly, besides producing a
larger crop, if the vines are supported
by trellis Of some kind. 1t may be
nothing more than stick forked
like 'y' and with long enough
stem to set firmly in the ground. But
If the soil is rich and the tomato vines
are heavy, row of strong stakes with
wire wound around each at the
height of eighteen inches will give
better satisfaction. When the vines
turn to grow downwards the part be-
low will blossom and fruit more abund-
antly than before.
