ARMY EXPENSES.

The annual expenses of the United
States Army in the late war ranged
from twenty to twenty four million
dollars. The expenses of the Army
for the current year are estimated at
$144, SOC, 900; expenses of the Navy are
estimated at $50, OOO,O 900. The increase
of pensions resulting from the war
with Spain is estimated at about four
millions.
Gen. L. Wood, Governor General
of Santiago whose opinions extreme
ly valuable, estimates that force of
fifty thousand soldiers will be needed
in Cuba for some time to come to
maintain order during the period in
which the organization of the Cuban
government is in progress. If fifty
tain order and the rights of property
in single island close to our shores
inhabited by friendly population
numbering less than million, how
many soldiers will be needed to main
tain order in a thousand islands, sew
en- thousand miles away, inhabited by
largely unfriendly population of ten
millions? The acquisition and reten-
ton of the Philippines caanot mean
less than an army of $50, 900 men. This
will involve an increase of the annual
cost of the army from twenty four
million dollars to at least two hun
hundred ENTHUSIASTICALLY a great
deal more-besides an addition of
from six to ten millions annually to
the pension list. If we are to fOrtify
the islands in order to hold them
against foreign foes as we'll as against
internal Instructions, an untold
amount must be added to these fig
ures. IT we areto annex the Philippine
Archipelago, we should go into the
affair with eyes open. 1t VIII hardly
do to brush aside all questions of the
cost O our Colonial experiment. 1t is
easy to say 'Oh all that will take care
of itself!"; but big taxes cannot be
brushed aside. They do not take care
OF themselves. The tax payers must
take care of them.-Free Press.

NO FOEDALLSM IN The UNITED
STATES.

The Pullman Palace Car Company
was chartered to build cars. 1t not
only did this, and did it we'll, but it
built town, called Pullman, on $50
acres of land which is now within the
limits of Chicago. This town contains
1900 brick residences, churches
schools, public library, market house
and hotel. The land and every build
ing on it is the property of the COM
pany. The Supreme Court recently
decreed that these vast and multiplied
interests are illegal and that they
must be abandoned. The Company
has accepted the decision as final and
closed the suit. This will put an end
to the anomaly of q city within
city, and by SO much restrict the oper-
ations of this mamoth trust. All the
property will be sold at public ruction
to the highest bidder, but as far as
possible preference will be given to
the present occupants who are all
employees Of the Company. Pullman
was one held up as a model town. In
some respects it was but it never was
an investment for the Company.
People early grew tired of the rigid
orthodoxy of an inforced improve
ment, on theoretical lines, without
any reference to individual prefer
ences. 1t was comic rtable, it was
healthful, it afforded the most for the
money. but it was not American, and
it deserved the death which was
long since foretold even by the unin-
spired prophet-Ecchange

Asst. Secretary of War Meiklejohn
has given out synopsis of Mai. Gen.
Greene's report concerning the du-
ties recently assigned to him in Cuba.
Speaking of an inspection which he
made of the Cuban troops, Gen.
Greene found them to be of all colors
-mulatto and white. They were an
able bodied lot of men, although
smaller in stature than Americans.
They had been Injured to hard
ship during the last three years, seem
ed well disciplined and so fully con-
trolled by their officers that, although
their sufferings for lack of food was
very great, no cases of pillage had
been reported. Their equipment was
wretched. The officers impressed
Gen. Greene most favorably. For
the most part they were Intelligent,
educated men, we'll mounted and we'll
dressed. Gen. Greene gives it as his
opinion that this force posse sses the
elements of a fine body OF native
troops, provided they are properly
organized, equipped and their regi-
mental, and possibly battalion COM
manders, selected from American
officers. It is his opinion that the
organization of these troops should
be begun at the earliest possible mo-
ment, otherwise there is danger that
the force may disintegrade and turn
into brigands. Under the existing
conditions of lack of food and cloth
ing it will be difficult to hold them
much longer.

Feeding Hogs For Quality Of Meat.

The market to-day demands pork
with a fair admixture of lean meat,
such as canpot be produced as a rule
by a pure corn diet The best re-
suits will be secured by using two or
more kinds OF grain, and also skim
milk, if it can be obtained. The
general run of feeding experiments
in this country has shown that where
corn meal ond sho-ts ~vero fe5, the
meat showed more lean than when
corn was fed alone. At the Wisconsin
Experiment Station a mixture of 431
pounds corn meal and shorts, half and
half, fed wet, produced 100 pounds of
gain, as compared with 784 pounds
whole corn or SIT pounds corn meal, to
make 100 pounds gain
The shorts are muscie-formins
foods, aud where these Qrs used

iad with corn great advantage.
There are many 4rmers in Indiana
who grow oats extensively, besides
corn, who could feed them to stock
hogs, with corn, to far greater profit
than selling them at thirteen cents
per bushel. Farmers ought not to
allow a pound of skimmilk to go to
waste from the croameries or farm
dairies. It can be fed to a great
profit to growing pigs, for it will
assist in rapid flesh development.
Corn, shorts and skimmilk make a
combination that will produce a high
grade of pork. Or wheat may replace
the shorts These foods assist IN
producing flesh SO rapidly as to
enable the feeder to dispose of his
pigs to advantage when young, yet
of good weight.-Indiaua Experiment

The following contains much ad-
vice that will be good to follow now
before the winter wears away and the
grain fed to surplus fowls is wasted
provided the stock is now III shape to
kill: It is about time that surplus
stock is disposed Of. The flock owner
should take considerable time in max
ing his selections, for success depends
in a great measure on keeping the
right fowls through the winter, We
have hens that have nearly COM
pleted their annual molt and others
that have not shed a feather. These
early moulting hens are the ones to
keep because they Will soon begin to
lay and will furnish eggs for winter.
The others will be disposed Of before
long and the flock reduced to its
winter size.
1t is waste OF feed TO keep cockerelg
that are not good enough for breeders
until late in the fall. They have got
to q profitable size 10 sell by this time,
and any increase Of weight from this
time will be added at too great cost to
make them profitable.
1t is a rule Of good many farms to
keep over quite number of cockerels
for family table use. This is n mis-
taken economy. Sell the cockerels
and keep more of the pullets. 1t
doesn't cost any more TO raise pullet
than it does to raise a cockerel, and
the pullet may furnish quite a number
of eggs before she is sent to pot, and
once in the pot the pullet makes the
best eating.
Don't think because a puilet is lay
ing that it is waste to kill her 1t
may be in one serse, but if she has
been kept in place of cockorel that
was sold it is as cheap to cat fat
puilet as moro or less tough cock
erel.
Nicely dressed fowls that have been
well fattened may usually be sold to
the local butcher at good price, and
he in turn sells them to his regular
customers. This is a good way to
dispose of surplus stock, Farm, Field
and Fireside.

The story of the comment of Cuvier,
the celebrated French naturalist, on
the definition of the word "crab"
adopted by the committee of the French
academy employed in the preparation
of the Academy Dictionary, is we'll
known, but is always fresh and anus
ing. The definition was: "Crab,
small red nah, which @e|as backse ard. "
'Your definition wo' ..fcct,
gentlemen, said CuvIer, only for
three exceptions. The crab is not a
fish, it is not red, and it does not walk
backward" The Royal society is the
English analogue of the French aca-
deny, Many years ago a sailor who
had broken his leg was advised to send
to the Royal society an account of the
remarkable manner in which he had
healed the fracture. He did so. His
story was that. having fractured the
limb by falling from the top of mast,
he had dressed it with nothing but tar
and oakum, which had proved so
wonderfully eficacious that in three
days he was able to walk Just as well
as before the accident. This remark
able story naturally caused some ex-
citement among the members of the
society. No one had previously sus-
pected tar and oakum of possessing
such miraculous healing powers. Sew
eral letters accordingly passed between
the Royal society and the humble
sailor, who continued to assert most
solennly that his broken leg had been
treated with tar and oakum, and with
these two applications only. The So
ciety might have remained puzzled for
an indefinite period had not the man
remarked in postscript to his last
letter: Il forgot to inform your
honors, by the way, that the leg was a
wooden one."

This was set away until it began to

been thoroughly slaked, was mixed
with the blood, stirring it until about
the thickness of whitewash. A little
sulphur may be added.
To apply to trees, take an old white
wash brush and cover all parts which
the rabbits can reach with the mix
ture. They will not trouble a tree
treated in this manner. One painting
will last a season, and it is much
easier to put on than winding with
paper or covering trunks in any other
way, besides being more efectual.

COMMON SENSE ON PUNCTUATION
A Batch of Rnles That Are IL Accord
with Modern Methods.

WIN N2ouern
"Whose punctuation do you follow ?"
The answer is, our own. Unlike
D'Israeli's alleged "sensible mem
who, when asked what thoi- religion
Is, "neye1 tell''-we are willing and
glad to tell what our rule of punctua-
ton is. Here you have it in few
words.
/. Never use a comma if "the way
faring man, though fool" can grasp
the meaning of the text without it.
2. Never use a semicolon when q
comma will serve the author and the
reader as we'll.
3. Never use a colon when a semi
colon will serve as well.
A. Wherever there is no climacteric
effect to be preserved, cut up your
semicolo9ed and colonel sentence in
to short sentences.
5. Use commas and periods as your
standbys.
6. Use the semicolon chiefly to bet
ter express antithetis, and to group
phrases and clauses.
7. Use the colon chiefly in formal
enumeration, after "viz >" "as follows"
and the like.
s. Use the dash to indicate an alb
rupt break in the sentence, an after
thought, and, in many instances where
in olden times the parenthesis was
used, to indicate that the words in
cluded are parenthetically employed.
8. Use the parenthesis only when
you find dashes are not sufficiently
exclusive.
10. Never use brackets except where
you insert some word of your own in
quotation from some other author.
IL. Never use an interrogation point
except when your question is direct;
e. g., it would be improper to use it
after "girl'' in this sentence; "He
asked what allied the girl"
These are our rules to-day. To.
morrow, if we see any new light, we
shall follow it. But we are not likely
to stray away from the course above
marked out. Punctuation, like SEN
tence- making, becomes second nature
after awhile. In punctuation, as in
sentence making, we do we'll or ill as
we succeed or fail in presenting our
thought in fewest words. The words
should be chosen and arranged as to
develop our meaning, our whole mean
ing, and nothing but our meaning
