Investigating Foreign Horse Trade.

AAOASO
Charles ]. Curtis, the director of the
experimental station in Iowa and ag-
ricultural agent of the department of
agriculture, has been in Europe
six weeks investigating the market for
American horses, live stock, and dress
ed meats. In the curse Of an inter-
view with an American newspaper cor
respondent, Mr.. Curtis said: "My
special mission concerns horses. There
is a good outlook for draft and carriage
horses and hunters. I shall make es-
pecial inquiry in Ireland as to the
breeding Of hunters. ireland has a
practical monopoly now. American
breeders have good blood for breeding
hunters in their acers and trotters,
and there is no limit to the price for
& good hunter. Already in the Dublin
horse show an American has captured
the first hunter prize, and Brussels
last week gave an American the first
prize in the carriage class. The mar
ket Is constantly. improving in Berlin.
and a dealer says American horses are
in high favor. I shall endeavor to BE-
cure information to guide the breed
ers and shippers. to meet the wants Of
the different markets, and to get their
horses into the right hands,"

Growing Forest Trees.-The horti-
c%ulturist Of the Virginia Experiment
station, VIM. B. Atwood, states that.
from his experience. 1t appears to be q
simple matter for any intelligent farm
er to grow forest. trees seedlings. either
for decorative planting or for wind
breaks and forest belts. All such seeds
as silver maple and like early ripening
species 1t is necessary to SOW as soon
as ripe. They can be sown in the same
and will grow as readily as
peas. All late ripening species should
be sown in the fall. Walnuts can be
bulked down. several bushels In, a
heap, and then taken up and planted
in the spring with perfect success.
Also a simp.e plan with these species
is to plant the nuts where the trees are
to stand. II no stock interferes. they
will grow with great certainty, and in
rich soil SO rapidly as to astonish one
unfamiliar with the culture Of forest
trees. Most Of the forest trees do best
1t set out at s to 8 feet tall; hence
many should stand but one year in
the nursery row.

pasturage by sheep. That we may ex-
pect to ind many plants that will
stand the alkalies in the sof1 of the
west may be taken for granted. AL
ready we have one plant that grows
vigorously though little suited for pas
turage. That Ia the we'll known sage
bush. A government report says:
Wheat and bearless barley can be
grown for hay on land that is so
strongly saturated with alkali that
alfalfa would neither terminate o
grow. The salt bushes hold relatively
as much advantage. over the cereals IN
the matter of tolerance Of alkaltes as
the cereals do over alfalfa. The early
solution Of the alkali problem In the
west is of great Importance because OF
the extensive areas affected. There
are thousands Of square miles OF alkal1
lands which, If they can be permanent
~ freed from the excessive accumula-
tions Of soda salts, are potentially as
rich. in plant foods and as capable OF
producing large crops of the cereals,
fruits and vegetables al any lands IN
the United States. The possibilities
for increase in value by the transfer
nation of such extensive alkali areas
from a low rate of productiveness to a
high one are almost unlimited. IN
many localities 1t is simply a matter
Of more intelligent use Of water on 1r-
rigated lands. In others a beneficial
change may be accomplished by the
substitution Of improved methods OF
soil cultivation and drainage. On
lands not subject to irrigation a u
fold benefit may be secured by grow
ing alkali-tolerant forage crops: ~
The surface will be shaded by h
dense growth and the rise of alkali
checked; (2) the total amount Of for
age may be increased. often tenfold,
enabling the rancher to carry an addi-
tional number of stock on the same
area; (3) there will be an Improvement
in the physical condition Of the soil
through the increase of the amount OF
organic matter; az a gradual diminu-
ton Of the amount Of harmful salts
by removal in the plants themselves"

Cooperative Dairying in Holland.
According to the German paper
Mich Zeitung, an extraordinary devel-
opment has Of late years taken place in
cooperative dairying in, Holland. For
several years, says that paper, much
attention has been paid to the. manu-
facture and marketing of butter, now
nearly all carried out on cooperative
pr1nciples-peasant proprietorship in
that country being almost universal.
Large butter factories, too, are the
rule, where the most advanced modus
operandi are adopted. For instance.
with a view to making f1rst-rate but
ter, the cream is often ~pasteurized and
separated by the Schwartz process, in
stead of by the centrifugal system.
Artificial cultures are often used, and
the result is most satisfactory. So are
the simple but very business-like
methods of marketing. At Maestricht
a combined association disposes Of the
great bulk Of the butter and cheese
made by the members. It not only
sells the produce for its members upon
cooperative principles, but endeavors
to put the individual dairies into direct
business relation with foreign firms,
particularly in England. with the aid
of the Dutch chamber in London and OF
the Dutch consular agents.

The Indiana Experiment Station
sends out this summary of the results
| obtained in their corn growing expert
ments thus far:
The greatest average yields OF botn
ears and stalks have been obtained
when the stalks stood IL to IA inches
apart.
Thick planting has reduced the size
of the ears and the per cent Of grain
Thick planting has in dry seasons
produced the heaviest yield OF stalks
and the lightest yield of ears.
The yields Of corn from cultivation
one, two and three inches deep have
been about equal.
Cultivation four inches deep has
considerably reduced the yield OF corn
Heavy applications of manure and
fertilizers have not proved profitable
in continuous corn culture.
In continuous corn culture the effect
of a heavy application of fresh horse
manure has not been exhausted in IL
years.
Cultural implements differing much
in construction and action upon the
soil have produced nearly the same
| yields of corn.
OF the several cultural implements
under trial, preference is given to the
spring-tooth cultivator for soils SINH
lar to that Of the station farm.
Hill and drill paintings of corr have
produced practically the same average
yields.

Gov. LIND has vetoed the Anoka- Fl asst
ings hospital bill and has thereby again
proved that he administers justly his
high office. The bill was an outgrowth
of an alliance between Hastings, Anoka
and the Twin Cities for business purpos-
es only, without any regards for the
wants of those unfortunates who have to
be treated at the hospitals for the insane.
The overcrowded condition of those hos
pitfalls has necessitated improvements
and extensions, but these we're purpose
ly delayed in order to secure bill for
the construction of new hospitals. The
governors veto has put stop to this
scheme and it is to be hoped that the
legislature will now speedily pass bill
for the benefit of the existing hospitals
for the insane.

THE conservative Philadelphia North
American, says "there can no longer be
any doubt that the time has arrived
when President Mckinley must choose
between the secretary of war and his
party. The former must go, Or the sue
cess of the latter at the polls will be SER
iously endangered" !.
The above is perhaps putting it lit
tie too strong. President Mckinley has
acquired a popularity which it will be
hard to overcome, and which may be
strong enough to carry through even
such load as Secretary Alger; but it
will be cruel for Secretary Alger to in
sist upon imposing his weight upon the
national ticket by insisting upon staying
ia the cabinet. If Alger had a proper
degree of loyalty for his chief, Or regard
for the welfare Of his party, he would
sacrifice his own personal feelings and
retire from the cabinet voluntarily.
If he does not, the president will be
compelled, sooner or later, to seriously
consider the question of his compulsory
retirement. Ayers lncompetency fol-

place he occupies, and his utter failure

AT AN entertainment rendered the Of
hcers of the now mustered-out 18th Min
nesota by the Commercial Club of Min
neapolis, Gov. Lind expressed his indig-
nation in regard to the entirely uncalled
for rebukes given the officers of the reg
iment by Gen. Young. The governor in
an eloquent address stated that the right
of trial was denied the officers, they
we're simply branded as towards by a
superior officer without the right of de-
Tense. He promised his support in re-
dressing the wrong and he is as good as
his word. You may hear something
d1op in the near future.
But this is not the only charge that
Gen. Young will have to confront. Capt.
Leonard at the same entertainment &C.
cused General Young of habitual drunk
enness. While assistant adjutant- gener-
al in Gen. Young's staff, Capt. Leonard
states, that for period of one month
the general was only on two occasions
not under the influence of liquor. Capt.
Leonard would have made this statement
sooner, but while in service, statement
like the above would be considered as
INSTRUMENTATION and therefore subject
him to court martial.
This is nice how dye do. While
the officers of the army are looked upon
as gentlemen Of refinement by the pub
lie, this favorable opinion was somewhat
shaken by the rude behavior of Gen.
Eagan in his controversy with Gen.
Miles and now comes Gen. Young and
bis case is if possible even more impair
donable than the one of Gen. Eagan. 1t
can only be explained by an implicit be-
lief in the presidential clemency. Gen.
Young will be court martialed. and if
found guilty suspended. He will draw
full salary, the same as Gen. Eagan,
while his former subordinates are smart
ing under the lashes applied them by an
inebriate commander. Will justice he
done? Will a just decision of court of
inquiry be upheld by the chief executive
of this country? President Mckinley s
former actions make such presamp tion
appear somewhat doubtful.

EVEN the yellowest of the yellow
journals favoring expansion, imperialism,
trusts, etc. are gradually coming to their
senses. The trust craze has become so
predominant as to be a menace to the
public welfare. From the cradle to the
grave we are the helpless victims of the
trusts and if strictly republican papers
are advocating some protective laws
against this menace, they only do this
for their own protection.-But an evil as
deeply rooted as the trust evil can not so
easily be Graduated, and the first steps
taken in this direction have proven dis
astrous in some other and wholly unex-
pected direction. In Arkansas the new
anti trust law has caused the withdrawal
OF foreign insurance companies from the
state, but the probabilities are that it al
so will destroy all labor organizations in
that state.

IT IS not given to many men to receive

1t is a triumph of which any man would

uphold the public servant who is faith
full in the main, though he be lacking in
the complete ful6llment of his trust.
Mr.. Harrison's victory is due to the fact
that he assumed and maintained from

adequate compensation to the munich
