GEN. WHEELER SNUBBED.
The Fighting Alabamian Appears
to Have Been Sbelved by Don
Whiskerandos Otis.
New Orleans State.

ANo" IiICohc otdtS.
Gen Joe Wheeler, who for a
time jumped about the country
footing the praise of McKinly's
Imperialism, has been snubbed in
the Philippines by Gen Otis, and,
according to cable advices from
Hong Kong, he wishes to be
ordered back home. 1t will be
remembered that General Wheeler
was very anxious to take the field
in the Philippines, and finally his
importuning resulted in the Presi-
dent instructins him to proceed to
Manila and report to Major Gen
Otis. The press had much to say
about the good work Gen Wheel>
er would do when he took the
field against the Filipinos. 1t was
generally understood from Wash
ington dispatches that Wheeler
would be given the command of
Funston's brigade and pal tlcipate
in the active operations of Lawton
and acArthur as soon rs the dry
season commenced. 1t appears,
however, that upon his arrival at
Manila he met with chilling re>
ception. There was no field band
at the landing place to hail HIS
coming with martial music, but,
on the contrary, General Otis ex>
hibited the marble heart aud ex-
tended the icy hand; in other
words, he was, to use language of
diplomacy, persona non grata to
the entire military outfit at Mani.
la and was treated as an interloper.
General Wheeler for weeks
wanted to he assigned to a cons
mand, and ut last, growing i'm
patient, he called on General Otis
in order to ascertain "where he
was at. " He then learned that
he had been billed for the com
mand of little and lonely island
of the archipelago situated "far
from the madding crowds ignoble
strife. " Wheeler protested IL against
being snu9ed out in such man
ner, but the man who shaves his
chin and allows his hair to grow
on the rest of the lawn remained
firm. Wheeler then began to
yearn for home and every fond
spot that his infancy knew. He
had been thrown down hard and
his dreams of leeding dashing
charge against the Filipinos were
jolted out of him. Army officers
predicted that when Gen Wheeler
sailed for the Philippines he would
not be given a show, for the rea-
son that he would be in the way
of the regular army men, and they
would resent his Going to Manila.
General Wheeler was all right
SO long as he travelled from one
city to another making speeches
in favor of McKinley's Philippine
policy and Imperialism, but the
moment he sought command in
the Philippine army he began to
bore the President. The desire of
Wheeler to distinguish himself
made him persistent, and finally
the President sent him to the
Philippines, knowing full well
that General Otis would find way
to smother HIM. The treatment
General Wheeler has received will
arouse considerable indignation,
because the country is we'll aware
of the fact that as soldier he il
the superior of Otis in every re.
spect, and the equal, If not the
superior of Lawton and Mac
Arthur.

The discovery that the most costly

This is mostly due to parents not keep

thorough schooling of the farmers son

COST OF SHIPPING HORSES.
According TO Sec. Wilson, il costs from
$50 to $40 after the horse is purchased in
Chicago, Buffalo or the eastern half OF
the u s. before he can be disposed Of in
London, Antwerp, Paris and Hamburg.
The charges are as great on cheap as
on high priced horse, consequently in
shipping horses abroad, the better the
horse the greater the percentage of profit.
It takes sometime for an imported horse
to recover from a sea voyage, If more
time we're allowed to elapse before the
horses we're put on the market after ar
irving in the old country, results would
be better. The expense, however, of
keeping would detract somewhat from
the proposition. The buyer usually
considers $40 fair estimate for the ex.
pense required to get IN good condition
for work after leaving the ship All Eu-
ropean nations with the exception Of
Russia and Hungary do not produce as
many horses as they need. The defcien-
cy is made up by importing from Canada
and the US.

WORD TO

PUDDING TREEs BEFORE SETTING.
One of the most helpful things / ever
learned in horticulture vas about pud-
ding trees and all sorts Of plants before
setting them. The first thing every
trsnsplanted tree or plant must do be.
fore IL can grow in it's new location is TO
heal the wounds made upon it's roots
and start new rootlets through which to
absorb moisture and food from the soil.
The closer and more firmly the earth
is pressed TO them the more readily they
can do this. It takes time for the par
tIcles Of soil 10 get into as close contact
with the roots sit was before transplant
ing, no matter how we'll the work lie
done. This is where pudding comes in.
The cost is nothing except very lit
tls work. It is done thus:
Near where the trees or plants are
heeled in, or the place where they are
TO be planted, dig a hole it in diameter
and lt deep. Fill it nearly full Of wat
er Into this put mellow earth that is
partly composed Of clay, and stir it until
lisa mass OF thin, sticky mud. As
coon az the roots are trimmed ready for
planting dip them into it bodily. If
there is any delay about planting and
the mud dries 90 that it is not sticky,
puddle them again. When the mellow
soil comes in contact with these muddy
roots il will stick to them closely. Those
who have never tried this plan can have
no knowledge Of the good that follows
puddle almost every plant that / set,
and find that it always pays. Cabbage
and sweet potato plants will start into
new growth almost without willing, no
matter what the weather may be at the
time.

SEEKING WIDER voREIaN MARKETS.


Steps are being taken by the govern
ment TO largely increase our sales Of farm
products abroad. Efforts along this line,
although somewhat desultory, have been
provocative Of some good and the agri-
cultural department at Washington now
seems in a fair way to accomplish more
than in the past. Possibly some slim
illus has been derived from the example
Of our Canadian cousins who are making
such tremendous and successful efforts
to increase their trade with England,

kets has just returned from a missionary

ticularlY Of farm products. and should be
able to point out channels where our
trade can be increased.
While our exports of products Of agri-
culture continue to form tWo-thirds the
total merchandise shipments abroad,
they are not increasing as rapidly as de-
sired. Exports Of manufactures, on the
other hand, are phenomenally heavy,
and during the fiscal year 90 formed
more than % per cent Of the total,
against "a per cent in '98.
Press dispatches are authority for the
statement that Secretary Wilson intends
10 make further efforts when congress
meets to secure the passage Off law pro-
viding that dairy products shall be ex-
amined as 10 quality at the principal
poria Of export. He believes that the
increased exports Of butter are made up
largely Of inferior grades, doing more
harm than good 10 the permanency Of
our foreign trade. Great success has at

ing foreign buyers Of rs integrity. As

The best and most profitable way Of
disposing Of skim milk and buttermilk Is
to feed them to pigs. Where butter is
made extensively, or even on q small
scale, there is opportunity for keeping
pigs ct very slight cost. If the re-
ouired number are not raised upon the
farm, they may be purchased at six
weeks old, or at weaving time. For q
few weeks at least after weaving, they
will thrive best on sweet skim milk.

the writer's estimation, which is based
