On Commodore Dewey's departure for
Hongkong last November dinner was
given for him at the Metropolitan club
in Washington, at which the following
verses--then scarcely appreciated per-
haps at their true prophetic worth
were read by Colonel Archibald Hop
kins:
Fill all yonr glasses full tonight
The wind Is of the shore,
And. be it feast or be 1t fight. t..xs
We pledge the commodore.
Through days Of storm. through days Of
calm,
On broad Pacific seas
At anchor off the isles Of palm
Or with the japanese: ,
Ashore, afloat on deck, below
Or where our bulldogs roar,
To back friend or breast foo.
We pledge the commodore.
We know our honor'll be unstained
where'er his pennant flies;
Our rights respected and maintained,
Whatever power defles.
Colonel Hopkins recently added this
postscript to his toast:
Along the Tar Philippine coast,
Where flew the flag of Spain,
Our commodore today can boast
Twill never fly again"
And mp from all our hills and valcs,
From city, town and shore,
A mighty shout the welkin halls:
"Well, done, brave commodorel
Snow let your admirals pennant fly.
You've won IL like man,
Where heroes love TO fight and die,
Right in the battles van"

The Largest Farm.

The largest farm in this country, and
probably in the world, is said to be
situated in the southwestern part of
Louisiana. 1t extends 100 miles east and
west It was purchased in 1888 by a
syndicate OF Northern capitalists, by
whom it is still operated. At the time Of
it's purchase its 100000 acres was vast
pasture for cattle belonging to a few
dealers in that country. Now 1t Is di-
vided into pasture stations or ranches,
existing every six miles. The fencing
Is said to have cost $4,000. The land is
best adapted for rice, sugar, corn and
cotton. A tract, say half mile wide,
Is taken, and an engine is placed on
each side. The engines are portable
and operate a cable attached to four
plows. By this arrangement thirty acres
are gone over in day, with the labor Of
only three men. There is not single
draft horse on the entire place, if we
except those used by the herders Of
cattle, of which there are 10000 head
ON the place. The Southern Pacific rail-
way runs for thirty-six miles through
the farm. The company has three
steamboats, operating on the waters OF
the estate, Of which 300 miles are nav
igable. It also has an ice house, bank,
ship yard and rice mills.

San Jose Scale.

This pest Is attracting widespread at
tention and creating considerable Of
scare in the Central and Eastern States.
Perhaps the greater the scare the more
vigilance may be used in preventing
and eradicating this destructive Insect.
1t is a minute insect that attaches to
the bark and spreads rapidly until 1t
saps the vitality and destroys the life
Of the tree. Some advocate the imlne-
diatC destruction by burning Of Ill af-
fected trees, while others say that this
sca,e is not so injurious or harG 10 com
bat as many other destructive insects.
Mr.. M. J. Crow, who for some years had
the management of large nursery AMI
orchard in California, where this scale
came from, but who now resides in Mis-
souri,, gives his experience with 1t as
follows:
"The San Jose scale is evidently thor
oughly established in numerous locali-
ties east of the Rocky mountains. Or
chardists should accept the fact, quit
talking about legislation, and turn their
attention to prevention or cure, as the
case may be, in their individual or
chards. Some are making a noun
tain out of a mole hill and seem to
overlook entirely the fact that this scale
problem was solved in California some
six or eight years ago, and is to-day re-
ouiring much less attention than some
fungous diseases which are so numer-
ous throughout the Eastern and Middle
States. 1t Ia far easier to combat the

A New Market for Dairymen.

During the past few years there has
been an increasing demand for butter
milk in the large cities during the sum
mer. City folks are learning the health
fulness of the drink and are being ad-
vised by physicians to use 1t in prefer
ence to any other drink during the
warm days of July and August. In
some Of the large cities companies were
formed last summer to handle large
quantities of buttermilk. Like every
thing else for which there is demand
with a shortage of supply, butcermilk
brings a good price, which is especially
attractive, as it's sale comes at a time
when 1t is plentiful and can be pro-
duced cheaply. There are grades in
buttermilk as in other commodities and
the thoughtful dairyman will use every
effort to establish a reputation for his
product in this line and get the highest
prices in consequence.
The Advocate and news., 1898-02-09
Speciality Farming.

So-called straight farming usually
means bare existence except when
there is sudden rise in prices due to
a shortage of the crop in other coun-
tries. The only remedies are intensive
farming in variety and speciality farm
ing. The day OF large farms profitably
run Ia gone except in the great grain
sections of the West, and smaller areas
more thoroughly handled and cultivated
must take their places. Speciality farm
ing Is the reverse Of the old method
of putting all your eggs in one basket"
but to be successful in 1t one must un-
derstand the business and grow only the
best There is always an overproduc-
tion Of ordinary or inferior crops and
always a strong demand for the higher
grades of fruits, vegetables, eggs, poultry
and grains, as we'll as for butter and
cheese. II you can supply this demand,
then you will find that speciality farming
Is most profitable, for the best In quality
always brings the highest price in the
market.

Chargep for Feed At the OhiOagO stOCk YardS.

Charges for Feed at the Chicago Stock Yards
Charges for corn and tame hay at the
Chicago stock yards we're reduced last
week. Corn will now be supplied at 20
cents per bushel, instead Of 81, and tame
hay at $1.25 per 100 pounds, instead OF
S1.bO. The price Of prairie hay remains
the same-$1 per 100 pounds 1t is
stated by Secretary Dennlson that the
Omaha and Kansas City prices for feed
cannot be met on account Of the longer
haul. as most of the feed used at the
Chicago yards is bought in the West
and all the prairie hay Is shipped from
Kansas Breeders Gazette.
The Advocate and news., 1898-02-09
Selling Berries by Weight.

Several years ago the selling OF ber-
ries by weight instead Of by measure
was strongly advocated, and the idea
found popular favor to some extent,
especially with strawberry growers who
had market demanding large, attrac-
lively packed fruit. The ordinary berry
basket holding a quart is usually used
for the package, though the wooden
dish such as is used by dealers for lard
and butter will make pleasing change
There Is often surprising difference
In the weight of different varieties Of
the same size, and the grower who can
establish a trade in selling by weight
will soon learn what varieties to plant
to bring the best returns, always keep
ing in mind his market whether local or
at a long shipping distance. This meth
cd would settle the contention over the
size Of the berry box, and whether large
or small-sized boxes were used the
buyer would get what he pays and the
seller would get pay for what he sells.
The Advocate and news., 1898-02-09

AT this season Of the year the laying
hens should be in the best possible con-
dition, and from now on until breeding
season their output Of eggs should be In
Creasing. A proper amount OF carbo-
naceous food Is necessary to keep up
the necessary animal heat in cold
weather, as we'll as to furnish the small
proportion that enters into the chem
istry Of the egg. Some portion Of thts
food will, Of course, be furnished in
the meat scraps from the table, but usu-
ally they are not sufficiently abundant,
SO a supply should be obtained from the
butcher, feeding most Of 1t in cooked
state. Avoid the feeding Of any food,
and especially meat, which has the least
talnt, for 1t is apt to give a bad taste
to the egg. During cold weather meat
IN some shape should be fed in moderate
quantities two or three times week.
The Advocate and news., 1898-02-09
A Reliable Ration for Eggs.

Many successful poultry raisers agree
that the following rations are peculiarly
suited to produce eggs, and especially
so during the winter and early spring.
For flock of thirty or forty hens take
two quarts of mixture Of equal parts
of corn meal, shorts, wheat middlings
and ground oats and add to it one quart
of well-cooked neutrality-suspicious.,
beets, carrots or turnips; add the table
scraps and handful of cut bone with
a little salt for seasoning. Mix it with
boiling hot water and stir thoroughly
until the dry meal Is thoroughly scalded.
It should be we'll cooked and fed every
morning in a orumbly, not a sloppy
state. At noon feed whole barley or
buckwheat, and at night whole wheat,
or, IL the weather is cold, corn. Good
care with warm, properly-ventilated
quarters and this food will insure a
bountiful supply Of good sweet eggs.

A Blue Ribbon for the RazOrbaOka.

A good deal of fun has been poked
at the Southern razorback hogs, but 1t
seems that when he Is surrounded with
proper conditions and given the right
kind OF feed and care he exchanges his
racing propensities for weighing quail
ties and becomes close competitor for
the top Of the market. Last spring a
car load Of these raZorbacks was shipped
from the South to central Iowa and the
Boone County Republican gives the re-
suit OF the experiment as follows:
There was more or less discussion
last spring about the Texas razorback
hogs that were shipped into Dallas Cen
ter. The Brenton Bros, of Dallas Gem
ter, and Mr.. w. B. Kinnick we're the
largest shippers. c. r. BrentOn told a
reporter yesterday that large number
OF theirs had fattened nicely, and many
OF them weighed out from 800 to 4O0

Blood as a Fertilizer.

While blood is rich in nitrogen and
consequently of value as a plant food,
Il Is by no means q complete fertilizer,
as It furnishes no phosphates or potash.
Hence while 1t is used to a greater or
less extent in the manufacture OF fer
tilizers, and solely for the nitrogen 1t
contains, 1t will not pay to use 1t with
an idea OF it's manurlal value alone.
OF course, any quantity OF 1t accumulat-
ing at killing time should be saved and
mixed with the barnyard manure, where
the nitrogen it contains will be mainly
saved and can be utilized when the ma
nure is applied to the soil.
The Advocate and news., 1898-02-09
Don't Feed Dish Water.

Some farmers have very little hog
cholera to contend with, and for this
they ought to be duly thankful, but
they have to combat many minor dis
eases in the hog which, II not fatal, pre-
vent the animals from growing or prop
erly taking on fat, and thus reduce the
profit in raising them. A common prac-
tice, where but few swine are kept,
is to feed them the water in which the
table dishes are washed, generally us
ing 1t for mixing the heavier foods.
The amount Of grease obtained from the
The Advocate and news., 1898-02-09

dishes is small and of little value, while
the injury to the swine from the In
furious substances in the soaps now used
is greater than we are always able TO
calculate. Scraps from the table may
be given to the hogs, but should be fed
dry, and the dish water given to the
roots Of the grape vines, where 1t will
be appreciated. Clean salt should be
given to the hogs but all old salty brines
kept from them. Fish brine is especially
fatal to hogs.
The Advocate and news., 1898-02-09
Avoiding tuberculosis.

The would-be purchaser Of cows fire.
Ouently runs against the possibility OF
adding to his herd animals that are apt
to start a general attack Of tuberculosis.
This disease is often transmitted
through a bull who had served COWS
that aborted, and in many other ways,
so many, In fact, that 1t is often impOs-
sible to tell how the disease got into
the herd. 1t Is not always possible to
get a "clean bill of health" when buying
cows and the chances Of getting infected
animals is very great, Disinfectants
should be freely used on all animals
bought no matter where they come from,
and also on the COWS In your herd,
watching them constantly for the first
development Of that dread disease.

The sohaffer Colossal Raspberry.

This illustration shows a cluster of a
raspberry belonging to the blackcap
family that is deserving of more atten-
ton than 1t is receiving. The fruit is
not very attractive, being of a purplish
color, and on this account is not a
favorite in the market. The general
opinion Of experts is, however, that the
variety is superior in point Of flavor

grown.
The plant is difficult to propagate and
the sale Of plants has so fallen off dur
ing the past few years that nursery
men are not giving it much attention,
but they would be glad to raise a stock
of plants il they could find ready sale
for them. Set out a few plants this
spring for the use Of your own table,
and the chances are that after you have
eaten the berries you will increase the
size of the plantation.
