The Pea Louise.

We advise those who have grown
peas and lost their crop this year by
reason of the pea louise on the vines not
to become discouraged and cease plant
ing them. Unless they differ very much
from other plant lice, a year that sees
them most abundant may be followed
by many years before they are trouble
some again, TO cease planting peas
vii not exterminate them, as they live
also upon clover and other plants. If
they make the pea crop less profitable a
few years, enough may stop planting
peas to make, them good crop for
those who have them with no lice on

Reeds sirnificant silence.

The silence of Thomas B. Reed is
causing great anxiety in the Republican
ranks. If Mr.. Reed would only sign
contract not to speak at all it would
be a great relief, but the fact that the
fuse is ready to be lighted upon some
unexpected occasion and shoot off the
greatest gun of the campaign where it
may not do the most good is inexpressi-
bly, annoying. Perhaps Reed in his ST.
lence may prove mightier than the
thunders of Roosevelt or the cunning
of Hanna. -Boston Globe.

Protecting stood from F1ies,

1t is rather difficult to protect horses
ard cattle against the attacks of flies
when outdoors or in a pasture. The
farmers in Holland endeavor to protect
their cattle while in pasture by cover
ing them with thin muslin blankets.
Washing the animals repeatedly with
a decoction of walnut leaves has been
recommended, but having no expert
ence can not say whether the protec-
ton is complete one or not. am in
clined to doubt it. The small flies which
usually attack the eyes are probably
best warded off by applying to the eye

HANDLING Apples.

The time seems to be at hand when
cold storage must come in general use
for ali late varieties, as the fruit comes
out so much brighter. Apples keep
better when barreled tight as soon as
picked. And here in New Jersey we
are in the habit of gathering too late
for best results. DR.. Hoskins' rule that
when the seeds color is the proper time
to store may in tn. near future be
adopted by all apple growers, says

One of the most interesting religious
buildings in the United States is the
Bruton Parish Church, at Williams

Rev. Rowland Jones, an ancestor of
Martha Washington. Erected in 1910,
it is now in a good state of preservation,
and the antique bell still rings out its
message, calling all who hear it to at
tend divine services beneath its time
honored roof. Bruton Ola Church is
well worth a visit.
The church has the triple-story tower
of which our English colonies We're so
fond. 1t can still boast of mahogany

lNsuLTgD THE VOLUNTEERS.

Roosevelt Declared that They Failed
10 10 Their Share of the Fighting.
Before Theodore. Roosevelt closes his
campaign he will have all kinds of ex-
plantations to make. To the general
public Mr.. Roosevelt must explain how
he happens as candidate to advocate
policy of imperialism and colonial
ton which as an author he so vigorous
~ condemned. To Democrats Mr..
! Roosevelt must explain the libel he ut
tered upon a class of patriotic men
when he said: ''They (the Democrats)
stand for laWlessness and disorder, for
dishonesty and dishonor, for license
and disaster at home and cowardly
shrinking from duty abroad" But
there is another class to whom Mr..
Roosevelt must make explanations.
Mr.. Roosevelt must explain his insult
to the American volunteer, than whom
no Drawer or more courageous soldier
ever carried gun.
Perhapse Mr.. Roosevelt has forgotten
the insult. But the volunteers have
be ter memories. At the time the War
Department was about to select troops
for Porto Rico, Mr.. Roosevelt sent to
the Secretary Of War this letter:
Santiago, July %, 1S9S.-Afy Dear Mr..
Secretary: | am writing with the knowl-
edge and approval of Gen. Wheeler. We
earnestly hope that you viii send most Of
the regulars. and at any rate the cavalry
division, including the Rough Riders, who
are as good as any regulars and three
times as good as any State troops, to
Porto Rico There are 1880 effective
men in this division. If those who were
left behind were joined to them we could
land at Porto Rico, in this cavalry d.
vision, close to 1000 men, who would be
worth. easily, any 10000 National
Guards, armed with black-powder
Springfelds or other archaic weapons.
Very respectfully,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
When he wrote this letter Mr.. Roose-
welt probably thought it would not be
heard of again. But the Secretary of
War did not do Mr.. Roosevelt the favor
to burn this letter" Instead of de-
stroying the letter and concealing from
the public the gratuitous insult which
Roosevelt had given the American vol
unteer the Secretary of War on Aug. A
sent to Mr.. Roosevelt the following
cable:
Washington, D. c., Aug. 4. 1885,
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Santiago: Your
letter of the 23d is received. The regu-
lar army, the volunteer army and the
Rough Riders have done well, but | sug-
gest that unless you want to spoil the
effects and glory of your victory you
make no invidious comparisons. The
Rough Riders are no better than other
volunteers. They had an advantage in
their arms, for which they ought to be
very grateful. r. A. ALGER,
Secretary Of War.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Roosevelt
has imagined that he whipped Spain.
He has been willing to give some credit
to the regulars, but Gas shown fine
contempt for the volunteers. His state
ment that the rough riders were three
times as good as any State troops" and
that 1000 men picked by him would be
worth easily any 10000 national
guards" is not supported by the record
of United States troops in the battle
field in any war in which this country
has ngaged.-Omaha World Herald.

Notwithstanding the anatomy Of the
pig would seem to dispute the PROPOSE
ton, grass is necessary to its best de-
yelopment, says Texas Farm and
Ranch. The small stomach would seem
TO indicate a grain ration or concen-
trated food of some sort, and so it does.
Hogs are wanted to consume a large
amount of feed, converting it into
pork. Therefore the first thing re-
quired is to enlarge his capacity to eat,
or, in other words, to enlarge his stom-
ach. Grass, being bulky in proportion
to Its nutritious qualities, is the very
thing anu involves the only known
method of enlarging the stomach At
the same time it furnishes the protein
needed to develop flesh, muscle and
bone. Then when we have large
frame built up with enlarged digestive
capacity it is an easy matter to put on
the fat with corn or other carbohydrate
feeds.
