Tt is not generally known that the
eyes of infants are always blue, and
that they do not begin to assume their
permanent color until the sixth or
eighth week. There is, therefore,
truth as well as poetry in the state
ment that babies look about them in
''blue-eyed wonder" The wonder
may be left to poets and philosophers,
but the blue is always a practical fact
It is not uncommon to see different
coIors in the eyes Of the same person,
and even IN the same eye half Of the
iris is sometimes brown and the other
half blue. There is a popular notion
that dark eyes are stronger than light
ones. There is ne truth IN this except
so far as they are better protected
against excessive light. Hence light
eyes prevail among northern nations
and dark eyes among the races who
live In the glare Of a tropical sum.

JOHN RUsKIN.


Wheat went through the winter in
good condition and started well in the
spring. when March Odd a breeze cut it
to the ground. This delayed ripening
two weeks, making it so late that is was
caught by the black rust after the US
ual time Of ripening. The black rust
appeared June 18th, as most Of our
wheat was in the dough, and in three
days wheat that had promised q yield
of 80 to 40 bushels per acre was hardly
worth cutting; the plants we're dead,
the straw fallen over, and the grains
shrunken to less than half size.
We grew "a varieties, but most Of
them we're so badly injured by the rust
that they were not cut. The highest
yield Of the Turkey, our standard hard
wheat, was IS bushels per acre, while
the highest yield Of the Zimmerman,
our standard soft wheat, was q bushels
per acre.
A test was made to determine wheth-
er it is best to pillow the ground in a
drouth and harrow it into shape ready
for seeding at the usual time, or wait
until a rain comes aud then pillow. The
early blowing was made July Both, the
ground turning up hard and Iumpy. It
was worked with harrows and float IN
til in fair filth. October 18th and 18th
a rain fell, wetting the ground four to
six inches; and the late blowing was
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1898-08-19

made, the land fitted, and both early
and late plOwed plats seeded. From
the time the wheat started until it was
struck by the rust, that on the early
plOwed ground appeared more thrifty
and promised a better yield. The rust
ruined all plants. The early pIowed
land yielded GA bushels per acre; the
late plowed, 6.5 bushels.
A trial was made Of ordinary and
thorough preparation of ground for
wheat That given ordinary treatment
was narrowed and fOated until in fair
condition, but having many small elods
on the surfsce-a condition liked by
many Kansas wheat growers. That
given thorough treatment was gone
over with disc harrow and float until a
fine dust mulch four inches deep was
made. The ordinary treatment yielded
19 bushels per acre, weighing 537
pounds per struck bushel. The
thorough treatment gave pa bushels
per acre, weighing 547 pounds per
struck bushel; a gain in yield Of nearly
Is per cent for thorough treatment.
Two trials were made Of ordinary
treatment Of ground for wheat
thorough treatment and Of treating it
with the Campbell sub surface packer.
In one test the yields were: ordinary
treatment 15.5 bushels, thorough treat
ment H. bushels, and treated with the
sub-surface packer 1s.4 bushels In
the other trial the yields per acre we're:
ordinary treatment SO bushels,
thorough treatment 90 bushels, sub
surface packer run over the ground
once 1O.4 bushels, and packer used
three times 1O.T bushels.
The Kansas experiment station at
Manhattan, has had an acre in wheat
continuously for the past Is years
without manure to test the fertility Of
the land This year just before the ap-
pearanOe Of the rust this acre promised
yield Of 80 bushels. The wheat was
nearly destroyed By the rust and the
yield was 9.T7 bushels. The product Of
Is years has been 1913 bushels, an
average Of 70 bushels per year.
The chief work OF the station this
season in wheat has been in crossing
varieties 70 secure higher yields and
more gluten Three thousand crosses
were made this sumner and viii be
planted this fan.

The santiago rragedy.

There is only one thing that can
match the splendid heroism Of our
soldiers at Santiago, and that is the
criminal incompetence Of the subsist-
enee and medical depal tments, to
which the feeding and nursing Of these
brave fellows were intrusted.
There is q time when silence is a sin,
and We feel that to remain quiet in the
presence Of q shameful and fatal nal
administration that has added to the
natural horrors Of war others that
might easily have been avoided, is to do
q positive wrong to the heroes Of eau
tsnamO, FL Caney and San Juan.
The Eretched bungling which has
marked every phase Of the Santiago
campaign IN the medical and subsist-
ence departments is bad enough.
Heaven knows, in itself, but when the
secretary deliberately proceeds, for
reasons best known to himself. TO
EhiteWash the department, he not only
betrsys q callous indifference to the
army whose s3ferings have been az
graTated By the inexcusable incompe-
tenee Of his subordinates, bat he de-
hberately insults the American peo-
PIE as a whole. A more ll-timed state
ment than this apology or one In

circumstances, and Mr.. Algsr's respon-
sibls position We do not remember to

And break the helmet barr
A noise is IN the morning wind,

The Elittsring hosts increase
They eomei They comei How fair their feet

And victory, fair victory,
Our enemies are ours!
For all the clouds are clasped IN light
And all the earth with flowers
Aye, still depressed and dim with due,

And with the radient deathless rose
The Wilderness shall smile.
And every tender, living thing
Shall feed By streams Of rest;
Nor lamb shall from the flock be lost,
Nor nursing from the nest.

Secretary AIEer and his BIuaders.

Secretary AIRer and His BluRders-
Secretary AIger is the sort Of a man
whose style is accurately defined by
the expression asilky." To use home
IL figure Of speech, he afeels his oats"
to q degree that would be amusing if
his vanity had not been led to such
traReticaI results. The cOnceit Of the
secretary Of war is so colossal that it Is
doubtful whether his mind has been
once disturbed by a doubt as TO his
ability TO administer the affairs OF the
war department. While he has strut
ted and ambled and paraded himself
before the country as a great war min
lister, the army has suffered terribly
for supplies within easy reach Of the
richest country on the globe; brave
soldiers wounded in battle have Ian
Ruished on the stricken field and in
residential trenches without attend
ance or medicine, and sick and dying
men have endured the torture Of fever
with no water to quench their thirst.
When this bideOus revelation Of in
competency reached q limit that passed
human Endurance, the inflated and
.unctuOus secretary Of war was remind
ed By the famous "rOund robin" signed
by all Of the commanders engaged ID
the Santiago campaign, that the troops
in Cuba were dying by the score, and
that the army which had been victor
ious in battle would be wiped out by
disease if the soldiers were not removed
to the north. But even upon the ar.
rival Of the weakened aud debilitated
soldiers in this country, at camps with
in a few hours ride Of great and
wealthy cities, they found that the
provisions for their comfort were little
better than those in and about Santa
90. There were so-called hospitals
without ice-a prime necessity in the
treatment Of fever-and a desrth Of
otheI supplies which ought ito have
been available in the greatest abund-
snce.
In every movement made by the
army, whether contending against the
foe, or seeking the repose earned by
costly victories, the undertaking and
fatal inefficiency Of the war depart
ment has been encountered, resulting
in the needless sacrifice Of precious
lives. The shameful weakness and the
criminal stupidity Of the secretary Of
war add tenfold to the glory Of the vic
tories which were achieved in Cuba,
not by the aid of the war Office but in
spite Of it.
For all Of this shocking mismanage-
ment the country will demand a reck-
Oning. One Of the first incidents Of
peace will be a vigorous investigation
by the people Of the cruel blunders Of
the war, which are now apparent to the
nation. Secretary Alger cannot con
tinue to smile and prance and cast coy
and cOvetOus glances at the presidency,
in the face Of a righteous public senti-
ment which insists on the only repara-
ton that can now be made for all the
woes inflicted on the army by a dis
graceful course Of political brokerage
namely, q prompt change in the de-
partment Of wsr.-Kansas City Star.

CONSIDER BUT TWO TOPICS
AnElO-American Commission IL De-
batting Fisheries and ReciprOc-
ity Questions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Anglo
American commission, now In session here
to adjust differences between the United
States and Canada. today held a lengthy SEES
sion upon the two subjects which are re-
garded Of most Importance, namely, the
North Atlantic fisheries and reciprocity.
The fisheries question was practically
taken up for the first time and 1t was quite
definitely understood that the position of
the Canadian government was made clear as
favorable to granting enlarged rights to
American fishermen In Canadian waters Of
the North Atlantic, II in return Canadian
Ash are admitted free OF duty to American
markets. 1t Is expected that ibis will open
up a wide range of discussion. and an i'm
mediate adjustment Is not looked for.
Concerning reciprocity 1t has now de-
veloped that while some progress Is being
made In considering certain articles which
will be the basis Of reciprocity, yet the
American commissioners are likely to insist,
as a preliminary to any reciprocity, that
canada shall wipe out that feature OF Its
tariff law which gives Great Britain a pref
erence of rs per cent on all tariff duties. II
this important concession is made by CaradI
and conceded by Lord Herschell. who is
looking after the interests OF Great Britain.
ably will be agreed upon. Without the
abolition Of preferential rates to Great
Britain the opinion is very positively ex-
pressed that a reciprocity agreement cannot
be reached.
