budget exceeded that of the great military
powers of the world. 1t was within three
millions of the cost of Great Britain's vast

of Germany, than of France or of any other
nation on the face of the globe. And this
was to realize the wild dream of expan-

Mr.. Johnson's time was twice extended,
Democratic members of the military COM
mittee yielding their time to him. The
Monroe doctrine, he declared, would vanish
with the annexation of the Philippines If
we could not, with propriety, resist aggres-
sion on this. Mr.. Johnson said that the cup
of our national humiliation was filled to
overfiowing, and, in closing, said: I'VE have
witnessed the splendid achievements of our
soldiers and sailors and have inspired in the
old world feeling of respect. This coun-
try, the beacon light of liberty, this locked
and intrenched continent this proud and
erect nation, which never in its history was
obliged to ask favor of any other cOun-
tion of England to keep other powers off its
back. We have become a miserable mend-
cant, dependent on the mother country We
are compelled to abandon the cardinal prin-
ciple of protection and submit to the open
door policy"

weak and impaired stomach it does not
follow that he feeds his body. The life
giving elements of the food taken into an
impaired stomach are not assimilated into
the blood. Instead, the impurities of the
sluggish liver and bowels are taken up and
carried to all parts of the body. The con-

starved but poisoned. The immediate re-
suit is physical suffering from which the

and one-half per cent and yet leaving
the agent seven thousand dollars net
cash for six months service. Two
more years have been added to the
experience of this association and they
are now handling over one hundred
thousand bushels Of c%ranberries a
year and refuse to admit any more
members.
About two years later an associa-
ton was formed on Cape Cod on a
similar plan. They employed a Chi
cage nan as salesman, and they ship
ped him car load after car load on
which they set so high a price he
could not sell them ard later in the
season when the price had declined
and many Of the berries became soft
they we're obliged TO take them back
ard sell them as best they could. The
result was a big loss, and l have never
heard from the association since,
These illustrations show clearly that
success depends on the men who run
the machine. III the case of the New
Jersey association the selling agent
had the confidence of the association,
he being an eastern man and a promi-
uent cranberry grower, and the board
OF directors took his advice in fixing
prices, which enabled him TO meet
competition, while the Cape Cod grow
CTS thought they could set their own
price and the people would have to
pay il. They would not trust any Chi
cage man, not even enc of their own
selecting. In the case of the Crane
Growers Association of Brockton. New
York, a very successful institution, the
grapes are all inspected by an officer
Of the association before being ship
ped and the superior quality and re-
liability Of their grapes make it easy
to secure an extra price for them,
much more than enough TO pay all the
expenses of the association. The price
is made uniform and is telegraphed
daily to every producing station.
There is a great and useless loss to
producers in shipping produce to Chi
cago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Mime
apolis greatly in excess of their i'm
mediate demands and paying freight
there, and then paying these cities a
big commission to distribute this prod
ice to other cities at our expense.
From this city of Grand Rapids, to the
entire northwest and at least SO far
south as Kansas City, We have the
same freight rates as Chicago. Under

we'll as Chicago, and a V all that ex-

The Potato Field.

During the grain harvest the potato
Held is apt to be neglected, says Amer
lean Cultivator. This was bad enough
IN h days when weeds were the only
enemies to be feared. Since the no.
tate beetle has become common there
should never a day pass when some
one does not go through the field and
destroy all the larvae in sight, II is
easy to see by examining the leaves
whether eggs are numerous. If they
are not, hand picking of beetles will
suffice. A dose of poison applied. di-
luted with water at the rate of a tea
spoonful Of the poison to a pail of wa
ter Will kill the larvae so soon as they
get to work and prevent most of The
damage. 1t is very difficult to have
this done SO promptly that part at
least of the hills will not be stripped
before the poison is applied. But in
harvest time there are several hours
or daylight early in the morning. when
dew will prevent doing much in the
harvest field. If this makes too MANY
hours work per day, take a longer
incoming. If the grain harvest and the
care Of potatoes conflict, most farmers
will be wise in giving the preference
in care to the crop that is most profit
able, and it takes several acres of grain
to equal in value a large potato crop
on one acre.

With most farmers the radish season
is much shorter than it used to be. II
is a root that needs to be grown quick
ly, else it will be hard and tough. and
the weather must not be too warm. else
the radishes will either grow pithv or
be filled with worms. These last breed
fast in soil made rich by fermented
stable manure Yet, as The American
C~ultivator tells, the market gardeners
lave radishes all through the year.
and have little trouble in keeping them
from being pithy or wormy. They
spray the leaves freely, and thus check
the evaporation which makes the root
pithy. To make the radish grow fast
and free from worms they manure
with nitrate of soda and plant in rath-
er sandy soil. On such land the rad
ish is clear and crisp and will be gen.
orally free from worms. Some of the
Chinese varieties of radish are partic-
ularly adapted to growing in late SUM-
mer, while there are others that can
be kept in good condition until winter
by cutting off all the top and keeping
them in a cold place covered with
enough sand to exclude the air.
