WASHINGTON. D. c., May 27.-The
nomination of former Gov. L. F.
Hubbard for brigadier general is, of
course. very gratifying to Senator
Davis, who has been untiring in mis-
efforts to secure Hubbard's appoint
ment.
1t Is now said that Minnesota has
received it's full quota of appointments.
and that the hundreds of applicants
who are besieging senators and menu
bers will not be able to land anything.
Since the last call for volunteers con-
gressnen say there are more applica-
tions for commissions pouring in than
ever.
Nothing can be learned from the war
department about Minnesota,s adlot-
ment in the new volunteer army. Sen
ator Davis is making some efforts to
have more than the 1,723 men now as
signed as Minnesotas share apportion-
ed to the state. He saw the president
and secretary of war about it today.
Among the men nominated for mill
tary positions confirmed by the senate
today was Olson J. .Rudd. Of Mime

VIII Try to Hold the County for His

Percy D. Godfrey has been retained by
Paul Quehl to defend him in the suits for
damages brought by Mrs. Susie v. Root and
Rev. David Morgan.
Mr. Godfrey says that an effort was made
to settle the matter with an apology, but
that the plaintiffs insisted on a money con-
sideration as we'll.
He will probably demur to the complaints
on the ground that any statements mads
by Mr. Quehl were made in his capacity as
county commissioner and that he cannot
be held accountable in an action at law for
that reason.

The BEST. Variety of Tomatoes.

"We would advise those of our friends
who are anxious to excel their neighbors
to raise few plants of the leading va
rieties. such as Table Queen, Beauty,
Stone, Champion, Perfection, Acme,
Ponderosa, Optimus, Climax, Matchless.
and to select from these the finest speci-
mems, having the brightest colors, the
fewest seeds and borne by the thriftiest
and most productive vines. Do this year
after year. Tomatoes cross very freely,
and when the best kinds are thus plant
ed together careful selection will, in
our opinion, in a few years give the
most perfect tomatoes for the locality
where the selections are made.
"All varieties are changing from year
to year. because they cross SO readily. If,
therefore, we plant in the same field
the best varieties of the present time, il
seems reasonable to suppose that careful
selection will do all that and perhaps
more than artificial crossing can do. II
is selection of the fittest. This is the
advice of Rural New Yorker.
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1898-06-30

More perhaps has been said and writ
ten regarding the necessity of neatness
in everything pertaining to the dairy,
than any other one thing, and it would
almost seem that there could not be a
single farmer but had heard and read
numerous admonitions upon the subject.
1t would also seem that. on this account,
the need of such admonitions no longer
existed in fact somebody has said that
farmers no longer need be tcld that the
milk should be kept in pail separate
from the dressing; and yet there is a
great difference noted among farmers re-
garding cleanliness, and in some instan-
Ces it is hard to see how the milking can
be done in the winter months, without
getting the two articles mixed to some
extent. Everybody knows, of course,
that this is wrong, and should be scrupu-
lousy guarded against, but many are apt
to be careless in their habits, and drop
thoughtlessly into careless and "easy
going" ways, and will always need to be
reminded of what they ought to do, and
even then will acknowledge that they
ought to do better. Hence word of
caution, or gentle reminder in some
way, in this regard, IS one of the things
that is always in order.-Turf Farm and
