Pastures.
ec!ion by Councilman Taylor

observations made on recent trip
but confirm those previously made by
the writer, viz, that all too few of our
farmers have made study OF the prop
er care OF our pastures; or, at least.
have not put the results OF such study
into practice
During the first week in April not
iced cattle running on pastures that
were so soft that the sod was seriously
Gu. MP by the feet of the COWS. The
surface Of ground was brown, and the
cows could get nothing to eat except
the dead and indgestible grass that had
lain under the snow all,winter An an
imal might maintain lie on this diet,
but IL could not be expected to gain in
live weight, or to produce milk.
The possibilities Of good pasture
under an irrigation system are certain
ly remarkably great, but the pasture
must be made right and properly cared
for.
To get the most from pasture, the
grasses should be permitted to get n
good start in the spring. All plants
get the most OF their nutriment from
the air though their leaves. The long
winter, in measure, iinpairs the vital
ity of the root, and ii pastured close
from the time IL starts to grow the root
has no chance to develop, and SO gives
q minimum oi growth Ii however, the
plant is allowed to get Il fair start be-
fore being eaten down, the root is
strengthened, and an increased amount
OF pasture is the result 1t is much
better both for the cattle and the pas
ture to feed the cattle on dry feed till
the pasture gets good start. The re-
turns from both will thereby be much
increased.

THE PERoT CASE PUZZLE.
No Further Action Taken by tn,
State Department.

No further action has yet been taken by
the State Department in the extradition
proceedings brought against Mrs. Perot,
of Maryland, who y. harged with abb
Quoting her daughter Gladys and who is
now in London. The case is without pre-
cedent in the history of the country, and
for that reason is an especially difficult
one for the department TO handle. The
history of the case from an international
standpoint is most interesting, affecting,
it does, the treaty relations between
the United States and Great Britain.
Some months ago Mrs. Perot left this
country for England, taking her daughter
Gladys, whose custody had been entrusted,
by an order of the courts. TO William H.
Perot, the grandfather of the child. He
instituted legal proceedings to recover his
granddaughter. The case will necessarily
have to be tried in this country, and II
was deemed necessary to have Mrs. Perot
arrested in London and brought back to
Baltimore, where it was the purpose Of the
authorities 10 try her on the charge of
abduction.
In order to set the machinery of the
Government in motion to secure Mrs. Pc
rot's arrest and TO have her held for ex-
tradition proceedings, it was necessary for
the Maryland authorities to comply with
OF an Indictment against her, request
from Goevrnor Lowndes for her eXtradi-
tion, and other forms.
All of the necessary formalitieS have
been complied with. But it now develops
that Mrs. Perot has returned the child to
the grandfather and that he has requested
that Mrs. PerGt be released from arrest
and the extradition papers be withdrawn.
The State Department is proceeding eau
tlously in the matter and il is now more
than probable that the woman will have
to submit to being returned to this coun-
try. II 1t is now intended TO quash the
proceedings against her il is equally nee
essary that Goyorner Lowndes and the
other authorities of the State shall COM
ply with the formalities of such proceed
ings
1t is considered doubtful, however, if
Governor Lowndes has it in his power to
end the matter by simply requesting the
Government to cease its efforts to have
Mrs. Perot returned to this country. To
certain extent the case has passed out
OF his hands. He has invoked the law. the
services of the State Department and the
treaty with England, and the department
VIII insist on very good reasons being pro-
duced before it consents to request the
English authorities to release Mrs Perot.
1t is stated at the department that the
simplest solution of the problem will be
TO allow Mrs. Perot to be brought to Ma
ryiand and then the indictment against
her may be quashed at the discretion of
Governor Lowndes. This will avoid the
necessity of reopening the matter with the
Engllsh Government and will not render
this Government liable to the charge of

The Choking of DeIagoa Bay.

President Kruger, of the South African
Republic, has been brought TO something
like standstilI by the stoppage OF arms
and ammunition. destined for his army, al
Delagoa Bay Two thousand cases of rifles
are due 10 arrive there by the German
steamer today, but they are not likely TO
reach Pretoria. Naturally the old gentle
man is much excited. He has assured the
Portuguese authorities that a modus vivendi
with England is an immediate certainty
and that that peaceful prospect renders il
all the more necessary for him to get at
those Mausers and the cartridges thereunto
annexed
We fancy that the game has gone beyond
the point where little Portugal will care TO
disoblige, much less defy. the British Gov
ernment. and that there will not be any
more war supplies for the Beers by way OF
Laurento Marques. Dr. Leyds, Kruger's
commissioner in Europe has been ordered
to visit Lisbon. and TO plead with the Por-
tuguese authorities for the free passage of
arms and ammunition. We are much mis-
taken if ne do not run up against an in
surmountable "impasse''
In the meantime British troops are being
landed daily at Capt Town. Lieut. Gen
Sir Frederick Walker will be on the ground
next week, and, not long after. the trouble
ought TO begin. After so much and eff
cient preparation on both sides. there should
shortly be readiness TO meet public expec-
| tations

Injustice to Jiminez.

We are very much impressed with the
notion that an egregious mistake has been
made by the Collector of Customs at Glen
fuegos, Cuba, in arresting General Ji
minez on an outgoing steamer at that port.
The mere fact of an unjustiiable arrest
would not be surprising, because that
might easily happen in any case of an at
tempt to interfere with the views or in
terests of the Administration The peculiar
point in this incident is that Jiminez is 4
strong Administration man, and his DO
minican scheme is as much that of New
York syndicate, headed by the President s
friend, Smith NJ. Weed, as his own. So
il is allowable to wonder how a customs
official at Cienfuegos could so far forget
himself as 10 seize the amiable adyenturer
In any event, even with arms in his hands
and a towboat full OF pirates. When We
reflect that the arrest was apparently made
without warrant of law, and in defiance OF
the rights OF the prisoner. surprise easily
becomes paralyzed astonishment.
According 10 the despaycnes. Jiminez
with his secretary. had taken passage on :
vessel bound for Santiago. They were
.--'elIls as private persons bent upon thsil
own business, and were not violating any
lsw, national, International human. or di-
vine. We viii concede the probability tina.
inside OF their hats there were intentions as
dark as President Sam. of Haiti. but w all
know that, if people were TO be judged BY
their intentions, gibbets would be pIentier
than blackberry bushes. Ii is difficuIt.
therefore, to assign any adequate reason for
this strange action on the part OF one of
Brooke's subo7dinaIes For the present il
must be added 10 the mysteries of the Ad-
ministration.
OF oorse il is possible that Collector
stamper may have acted without orders.
There is an equal possibility that he did
not, but that Jiminez who is credited with
enormous wealth and a million in ready
money. while in Havana recently exhib-
lted a penurious spirit and dad not have
liberal contribution to whatever campaign
fund may be there in being. to account for
friendly transactions
Whatever may be the inside facts. We
do not need to trouble ourselves about
Jiminez. He is all right Sam may patrol
his cannibal coast with the bumbaats that
constitute his navy. Figuero may plant
an old muzzle loader on the shores of San
10 Domingo; but We have faith in Smith
M. Weed and the kitchen cabinet Desnite
his present condition of chains and
Slavery we are still, as ever, prepared TO
swear, or affirm. BY Hminez.

ADIRONDACK FOREST FIRES.
Flames Causing Much Damage IL
Saranac Lake Vicinity.

Plattsburg, n. Y, Aug. 19.-Much alarm
is felt at the spreading of the forest fires
which have been raging for several days
between Moody Pond and Lake Colby near
Saranac Lake, in the Adirondacks. On ac-
count of the dry weather it is almost i'm
possible to check the progress of the flames.
There is no immediate danger, however,
that the Hotel Ampersand or the Hotel Del
Monte. near by, will be burned, as there is
wide strip of green timber between the
fires and the hotels, where there is a sort
OF swamp, and this green timber will not
burn readily.
Another big forest fire is raging in Toof's
Swamp. between Bloomingdaie and Paul
Smiths, but the region is very sparsely
settled and there is no danger that any
buildings will be destroyed.
Representatives OF the Forestry Preserve
and OF the Fisheries, Game. and Forest
commissions are on the ground endeavoring
to get aid for the fire wardens of the various
districts in which the fires are burning.
Great difficulty is being had in procuring
men TO fight the fires, and the officials as
cribe II TO the fact that many of The men
who usually perform this duty have recent
ly been fined for violations OF the game
laws. In Hamilton county the men usu-
ally called upon for aid in fighting fires
have almost unanimously refused 10 go out.
