Changing in the Rfpenfpp.

DR.. E. w. Allen, assistant director of
experimental stations in the agricul-
tural department at Washington, has
just returned from the west, after in
specting the various stations. One of
the most interesting matters to which
he devoted his attention was the col
lection of facts relating to cheesemak-
ing. The station at Wisconsin is TAX
ing the lead in this matter and the
discoveries which have been made there
are at variance with those made in Eu-
rope-that the ripening of cheese is
due to bacteria. American experiments
demonstrate beyond doubt that the
principal change in the albuminoids
which takes place in the ripening proc
ess is dependent upon the fermenta-
ton in the milk itself and not upon
the bacteria,

put down below the surface. Then fold
the paper about the trunk according to
the diagram at the right, making the
edges join as do the edges of stove

about it and tie the top of the paper

Proper ROad maintenance.

Even with so many miles of improved
roads being built in different states,
there is pot yet sufficient attention paid
to the subject of maintenance. Moth
ing remains long without change, and
highways are no exception. When COM
pleted and brought into perfect shape
they reach their maximum condition of
efficiency, but they do not retain it long
unless they are constantly watched and
cared for. The results obtained re-
semble what would occur if a railway
company should neglect its roadbed
and discharge its trackwalkers and in
spectora. In France the national roads
are cared for on just the same system
that railroads use to keep their road
beds in order, and the result is that the
French roads are the finest in the
world.

"Where do you take command of the
fleet?" lady friend asked Dewey just be-
fore he left for Manila.
"At Hong Kong" he replied.
After silence the lady said:
Aren't you aggrieved, in view of our pos
sible trouble with Spain, over being or
dered to the remote Asiatic station. which

And then he added, evidently as an after

PLANTING CHESTNUTS.
How an Eastern HOrttcrlturist Oh

of Failures.

Three years ago / came into posses
sion of practically an abandoned farm,
$50 acres in chestnut and pine and 100
in tillage, with many hillsides and
places which could not be cultivated.
wished to get trees growing on these
places; how to make them grow from
the seed l did not know, nor could
find anyone who did! so l went to
work planting chestnuts in different
ways, to see which would succeed,
writes a contributor to Country Gen
tleman.
L first took a six-tined fork, forced
it into the turf two inches deep and
nut under and drew out my fork.
saw that one man was working at a
disadvantage, so calling man, i did
the lifting of the turf and he threw
the chestnuts. The result was that
every chestnut grew, and they are now
two feet high. 1 then plowed a half
acre, dropped chestnut every two
steps and stepped upon 1t. Not one
of the chestnuts grew. Iplowed fur
row on another piece, every four feet,
dropped a chestnut every four feet on
the edge of furrow, and backfurrowed
against this. Not 20 trees started on
the whole piece; those which did
start were where they were covered
lightly and natures conditions were
complied with. 1t is so simple and
quick to plant seed with man and
fork, that I shall do more of it in the
future

CONSIDERABLE OF A MIDDLE.
HEMPsTEAD's CITY OFFICIALS oAN
NOT TURN LOOSE.
The Attorney Generals Opinion Has
Caused stoppase in the Pro-
grsmme Agreed ON.

Hampstead, Texas, April s.--And now
hand that ever confronted any community
In the State, and the attorney generals
office helped to do it. 1t all bears upon
the transitory progress now in progress,
which was to transfer the city's affairs to
the county. After many tangles had been
untangled, after the city administration
had nnally dispensed their baking tactics,
everything seemed smooth sailing. The
Joint committee met and this morning
were putting the finishing touches on their
report 10 the county. Tne cltys officials,
or, rather, ex-ontcals turned over the
books which were being hauled UP to the
courthouse On dray, and the city treas
urer was beginning his preparations to
turn over all moneys on hand. The north
bound Houston and Texas Central train
had whstled and stopped as IL always
does and nobody had suspected that this
regular visitor should OF could block the
proceedings Suddenly gentleman stepped
in with a Post in his hand and began to
read ths opinion sent out by the attorney
generals office directly bearing upon
Hempsteads case. Within a few minutes
everybody had read and digested the arti-
Gle. The first point set out was that the
county did not have TO assume any of the
citys affairs unless she wanted to. The
commissioners were In session, and they
readily agreed TO proceed. But <nere was
another point In the opinion, and 1t read
thus: And while the commissioners court
might voluntarily assume, II the same
were turned over to it, to administer the
property, and while It's acts might be legal
/ do not feel called upon to express an
opinion as TO the liability of any city off,
Ger on his bond, should he so turn euch
property in his custody over to the COM
missloners court" And this broke the
camels back. The county now mad the
books, but not the money. Something over
$4,000 is In the hands of Treasurer Ran
kin, of the late city administration, and,
acting upon legal advice, he stated that he
would turn over under one OF two eondi-
tiuus only--frst, that he be furnished an
1 indemnifying bond TO protect his bonds
( men. or that his bondsmen agree nnani-
mously that he turn over the money. ThuS
I affairs stand tonight. But with a law
regulating such affairs knocked into smith
I Greens by judicial decisions, or virtual!
no law at all, 1t is hard to tell what ING
next turn will bring or what the county's
power will be to collect taxes to redeem
outstanding indebtedness of the city When
tested in the courts. A floating indebted
ness of $4,000 hangs over the city. to say
nothing of the bonded indebtedness. Blu
there IL one bright feature connected Will
the affai---the city nearly unanimousl,
aho,ished the corporation, but not TO avoii
inc having of honest debts. Everybod!
seems willing and anxious TO pay taxes a
heretofore as soon as the county take
charge. We are to be country folks, Blu
honest country folks, at least.
