Tuberculous Milk and Calves.

A recent report Of an exhaustive ex-
pertinent made by the Connecticut Ex-
pertinent Station to determine the effect
Of milk Of tuberculous COWS on calves
is to the effect that the danger of feeding
such milk has been largely overesti-
mated. The report says:
The milk Of four cows during q
period Of over two years was fed to
calves from healthy COWS. aud also in
some cases to their own calves. In some
cases the calves were allowed to suck
the cows and were also fed with milk
from pail. During the first eighteen
months the calves were stabbed together
with the cows. During the experiment
eight calves were fed with tuberculous
milk Only one of this number con-
tracted the disease, and this case ap'
peared six months after the feeding ex-
pertinent with milk had closed and aftel
the animal had been exposed for some
time to cortagion by other means"

Preparing Ground for an Orchard.

One of the most essential points l..
starting an orchard is the proper prepar-
ing Of the ground. Better wait year
and get tho ground in the right condi-
ton before setting, as the trees will be
ahead in FIVE years. The ground should
be thoroughly worked one season before
setting, which should be done in the
following manner: First measure of the
piece carefully, setting stakes where you
want the rows of trees. Then pillow so
that the dead furrow will be left at the
stakes or where the rows of trees are to
be set. Work the ground up in good
shape then plant to corn or some hoed
crop, being careful to keep clean from
weeds. In the fall remove the crop and
give the ground good coat of manure
and especially along the dead burrows.
Plow the ground again, blowing into
the dead burrows. In the spring before
setting the trees pillow again in the same
way. This will leave a nice ridge for
each row of trees and give deep, rich
soil where the trees set, which is what
the trees require. have trees set in
this way that have been set five years
this spring, that are four inches in
diameter and bore fruit last season. The
ground has been worked every season
and some kind Of fertilizer used. Twice
l have taken of crop of potatoes and
sowed rye which was plowed under in
June the next season and again planted
to potatoes, Of course the trees have
had good care, but think that much Of
their rapid growth is due to the fitting
of the ground can show trees taken
from the same box that were equally
good that are no more than one-fourth
as large now .-National Stockman.

Sow Heavy Seed.

Experiments made by the Department
OF Agriculture have but confirmed
hundreds of individual experiences tC
the effect that only large, heavy seed
should be planted. Scientific farmers
in this country and in Europe have
found that heavy seed wheat, barley
corn. etc produce heavier crops thar
lighter seed Of the same variety
Farmers frequently experience difficulty
in obtaining good stand of grain
Sometimes the seed comes up very un'
evenly, producing plants Of uneven
height and vigor The weaker plants,
if they grow to maturity, produce I
smaller crop. Many weak plants perish
in the Seeding stage. Those seed
which we're lacking in vigor. ever
through they may terminate, may sue
cumb to sudden change Of tempera
ture, or a prolonged, or slight frost
The seedlings from heavy seed Away
show more vigor than these from ligh
seed.

Kruger made many replies, in most OF
which he represented the Transvasl as a
little child whom a bad man wished to
Kill. III one case, he illustrated his point
by drawing attention to fair-haired
girl in the audience. "If that child was

WAaHINaTON Juiy n II

Is there secret understanding
between the administration and the
government of China? The accep-
tance by Secretary Hay and other
members of the Cabinet of every
thing said to them by the Chinese
Minister as gospel truth, is regard
ed as suspicious. Although scoffed
at by the entire diplomatic corps
and doubted by the public, Mr..
Hay has accepted the cablegram al
legged to be from Minister Conger
and saying that he and che foreign
ministers in Pekin were all right,
on the 18th inst, but in need OF
help, as genuine, and the other
members of the Cabinet have even
gone so far as to throw bouquets at
Mr.. Hay by publicly saying that
his getting that message was a great
diplomatic triumph. Diplomatic
flddlestick That message, wheth.
er fake or genuine, was secured by
the Chinese Minister for purposes
of his own, and if there was any
triumph about it, the credit is his.
1t is whispered among European
diplomats in Washington that the
administration has undertaken the
contract Of keeping the present
Chinese government in power, re-
gardless Of any decision Of the pow
ers which are assembling an army
in China for allied action. 1t is
difficult to believe that Mr.. McKin-
ley has made any such agreement.
His own imperial schemes are quite
enough to keep him busy, without
his tackling those OF China.
Senator Wellington, who some
time ago declared that he would not
support Mckinley for recollection,
is still throwing nuts to the admin
istration which it cannot or will not
crack. The Senator said, while in

Violating the Oyster Law.

We have several times called at.
tentlon to the violation OF the oy.
ster laws, but with little or no good
effect. We are reliably informed
that the law is being openly and
hagrantly violated and parties are
day and night longing, scraping
and dredging oysters in the waters
of the county. In the Wicomico
river oystermen are at work every
day on the best bars and at night
they scrapo and dredgo. A few
nights ago fleet was oystering on
one OF the Wicomico bars and fred
on some fishermen who had started

the proper authorities should take
this matter up and see that the Vi
oIators Of the law are punished
