From the Mobile Item
The revenue cutter winona left her moor
ings in the river at o'clock yesterday
evening and proceeded to Ship Island under
full steam. Her mission is to take charge
of the large freight steamship La Cumina
which is owned by Spanish company
and put into Ship Island to load, her mas
ter not being aware that the war had OPEN

to be a fine vessel and one of the largest
tramp steamers engaged in the Transat-

Facts About Our Navy,

w Ilcu tllc ClNli wal DiohSouOoui
navy was comparatively small,
but the Government Immediately
devoted its energies to the building
Of new ships and in four years there
were on the naval register mor
than one thousand ships of all
kinds. At the close of the war our
navy was more powerful than that
of England.
Thefght between the Monitor and
the Merrimac, however, had render
ed wooden ships obsolete, and while
nothing was done for many years
towards creating a navy of iron or
steel ships by this country, all Of
the European countries built them
in great numbers andour navy from
being the most powerful in the
world became in a few years one of
the weakest.
In 1888 Congress authorized the
construction of the first modern steel
crusier and when the Maine was up
in Havana harbor the "New Navy"
had about one hundred ships, built
or building, including all grades
from the monster heavily armored
battle ship which could have sunk
the entire navy oftilr war, down to
the long sharp torpedo boat.
During the first six months of
the present year the navy has
had another sudden growth by the
creation OF what has been called
the "auxili;lv navy" This now
comprises ia ships, nearly all
ofwhich have been equipped as
fighting vessels. In the auxiliary
navy are included the 10 vessels of
the revenue service, 4 lighthouse
tender, 2 fish commission boats and
Shospitalb boats. Allthe extra boats
acquired excepting the tourmagnifi-
cent Atlantic Liners nave been
purchased outright.
On the list of the ships Of the
regular Navy are II first class, IS
second class, 43 third class, 6 fourth
class war ships, and 80 torpedo boats
in addition to tugs, receiving ships
sailing ships, etc.
There are now 6uildingor author

Club Women in Denver.

Governor Adams of Colorado gave
an address ofwelcome to great body
of women who recently met in
Denver to represent the Federation
of Women's Clubs" In the ecourse
of his address he said:
care men of the West more
chivalrous or more just than their
Eastern brethren? Is it a coinci-
dence, oris there an element of truth
III the boast of Switzerland, Mont
enegro and other mountain lands,
that liberty has a clearer vision in
high attitudes? Certainly it is that
it is only the mountain states of
Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Wyom-
ing whose statutes recognize that
the Creator made no mistake when
he placed man and woman side by
side in Eden. Westward thecourse
of justice, as well as empire, takes
its way.
1t is fitting that this great confed-
Grafton OF women's clubs should
meet in Colorado. While you are
not a suffrage association, and many
of you may not care to vote, the
ultimate of your intellectual aspira-
tions must be the elimination of sex
from the statutes ofequality. Col
orado has added a sorpane to the
symphony of political liberty, and
we offer our laws, our homes, our
schools, our institutions, as object
lessons to those who doubt the re-
suits of equality before the law.
Woman suffrage needs not the de-
fence of results; it is not question
of expediency, but ofjustice. Yet
no evil has come from the expert
ment. My testimony may be biased,
for had | received No wOmen'svo,,
some one else would have the plea
sure of greeting you this morning
But to me there has come no just
criticism as to the participation
women in public affairs, no awaken
ing from the fond dream that the
union ofthe vigor, physical force and
courage of man from the higher
moral and spiritual qualities of wo-
man will weave for our children
fairer destiny than has yet come to
the race.
While here, gather your own testi-
mony. The state superintendent OF
schools is a woman, and no Office in
the State House is conducted with
more ability. Half the county SUI
perintendents of Colorado are of the
same sex, nearly all the teachers are
women, yet we challenge compar-
ison with the public school system of
any state in the Union.
Women's clubs and herinterest in
public questions have been a revela-
ton to many. Woman is found to
be neither divineno satanic, neither
a slave nor an angel, simply human.
She is neither the soulless creature
of Homer or Milton, nor the bur-
lesquc divinity Of Cervantes, but a
being endowed with common sense
and an exalted purpose. Every at
tainmcnt but increases her moral and
intellectual force, without damage
to the character of mother and wife.
She may break some of the chains of
prejudice aud conventionality, but
she will not lose her womanhooJ.
Fear not that equality will make her
masculine, "Man and woman created
He them," and no belated act of
justice on the part ofman can change
the ordinance of God"

Stacking in the Field.

When drawing in grain after the
barns are all filled it is often great
convenience to build stack of grain
in the field and leave it there until
threshing time. 1t will make some
extra labor in threshing, but at this
time labor is not so valuable as it is
mt harvesting time. In fact, stacking
in the field may be the only means of
securing the crop of fields distant from
the farm. In winter some stock may
be kept around the stack. and grain
or hay brought from the barn to feed
them there. This will save drawing
manure, and the stock may be kept as
warm by cutting holes through the
stack as if it We're kept in the barn.
In fact, the stack-fed animals are
likely to go through the winter with
more gain at less expense than any
other

Fining and FirIning.

Lack of thoroughness in these is
perhaps responsible for more poor
crops than all other causes over which
man has control. Five out of every
six farmers stop too soon and call it
good enough" The soil must be
made fine and well compacted for best
results to follow. Either alone is not
sufficient. The middle of the road is
compact but not in condition for a
good seedbed, for cohesion has taken
place between the PARTICLES of earth, a
thing which should not occur in the
wheat field. On the other hand, a
light, friable soil may plow up perfect
ly fine like an ash heap, yet will re-
quire much narrowing, rolling and
tramping before it is right to seed.
The soil must be reduced to small par
ticles and these pressed close together
when not wet enough to cause them
to adhere one to another. Thus the
ground will be solid enough so the
horses hoofs will not sink far into it,
yet porous enough for the little wheat
roots to readily penetrate by pressing
close against the soil particles, and
the thousands of little pumps will
draw moisture from below, where the
"big bore" pumps formed of clods
would fail to ''suck." Clayey soils
plowed sometimes become too hard,
too much like the middle of the road,
and require to be thoroughly loosened
with cultivator or disc before good
seed-bed can be secured. Nothing
better for the purpose than a good
riding cultivator with plenty of team
attached. 1t pays, as a rule, to put at
least as much work on the wheat
ground rs would be required to raise
crop of corn. OF course, some sea
sons and soils require more work than
others,
