The Boxers are a secret organiza-
ton Of Chinese. banded together to the
number of 100000 or more to resist for
eign aggressions In the Chinese EN-
pire. The Boxers are supposed to be
secretly encouraged by the pres
ent Chinese dynasty. They have
committed acts of violence against
European and American missionaries
and merchants, seeming especially to
harbor ill-will toward the former The
Boxers hope to drive all foreigners
out of the empire, and want nothing
that can be offered them In the way OF
civilization by outsiders. The move
ment is entirely reactionary
WI Ting Fang. the Chinese minister
at Washington, was asked:
What Is the meaning OF the term
Boxers in Chinese, or what is its de.
rivBtlve analysis?'
He replied:
II have seen from the Chinese papers
that the local word applied to the peo-
pie that your papers call the Boxers
is 'Yes-ho-chuan.' Yes means
righteousness 'Ho' means harmony.
'Chaun' means 'asts.' 'Yee-ho-chuan
would therefore involve the righteous
idea of promoting harmony by the
asts, the Righteousness resulting from
the harmony, with the fists as an in
cidental means TO n good end. The
term undoubtedly arose in connection
with athletic sports and teachers Of
the art OF boxing or defense by the
fists"

Conserving Manure.


In common with other things that
are under control of trusts there has
been sharp advance in the price of
chemicals that the farmers use for the
manufacture of commercial fertilizers
or that the manufacturers use in the
making up OF commercial grades. This
IS said to be especially true of the
materials that contain nitrogen. 1t
therefore behooves the farmer to look
after the fertilizers he has on the
farn1 BY the ordinary manner Of
handling manure at least half Of the
nitrogen is lost. One-half of the value
OF the excrement from our cattle and
other stock is in the liquids, which on
many farms are not saved at all. Nj
trogen especially abounds in the
liquids, as is evidenced by the am
monia they throw off. We want again
to urge that every farmer take meas
Ires to save these valuable products.
The farmers that have manure piles
that are exposed to all weathers and
that have no arrangement to save the
liquids should at once stop the waste.
1t means hundreds OF dollars to the
pocket of every farmer. Remember
that the manure pile is not only as
sailed by the rain but by the air, and
the latter helps toy deprive it Of its
ammonia form of nitrogen. 1t is
not enough to prevent manure from
leachlng and washing, it must be kept
from drying out and thus losing it's
ammonia. or a large part of it.

Composition Of Paris Green.

Bulletin 165, N. Y. Experiment Sta
ton: In pure copper aceto-arsenite
there are 1877 pounds Of arsenious OK
ide for one pound Of copper oxide.
Now. this relation is of value in show
ing whether Paris green contains more
arsenious oxide than it ought. The
chief adulterant used in Paris green
is arsenious oxide, commercially
known as white arsenic. This is used
because it is cheaper than Paris green
and also because it can be safely added
without any danger of reducing the
amount of arsenious oxide. In fact, a
very poor quality Of Paris green can
be brought up to the legal require
ments by addition of arsenious oxide.
However, arsenious oxide cannot be
added to Paris green without increas-
ing the ratio of arsenious oxide to cop
per oxide above 1877. In IA samples
examined the ratio of arsenious oxide
to copper oxide varies from 1872 to 2.17
and averages 1888. In sample No. IA,
the arsenious oxide exceeds 60 per cent
and the copper is less than % per cent;
hence, the ars-nious oxide is present
in amounts more than twice exceeding
the copper oxide. In other words there
is too much arsenious oxide for the
copper oxide present and the only pos
sible inference is that white arsenic
has either been added purposeIy or is
present as the result of carelessness in
manufacture.

Utilizing windm,ll,.

In parts of Kansas and Nebraska
the farmers are utilizing their wind
mills to irrigate small patches of
ground near their homes for garden
purposes. In some cases indeed these
patches include not less than ten or
twelve acres Of ground. There are
numerous windmills scattered through
the middle west that should be more
fully utilized than at present. At some
of our experiment stations irrigation
has been tried on strawberries and
vegetables with very good effect. Even
quarter of acre brought under irri-
cation should give good results. This
will be found to be easily accomplish
ed where the soil is sufficiently clayey
to puddle we'll. The cost should be
small, as the water used is surplus
water that would otherwise remain
unused. In the states near the Great
Lakes the effort should prove effective
tor the reason that the rainfall is usu-
any quite good and the supply of mois-
lure IN the ground practically mex
haustlble The soil water is within a
lew rect OF the surface, while in the
regions west of the Missouri the soil
water is frequently IS or more feet
below the surface, and the problem If
lifting becomes great.

Potash and starch Potatoes.

The Connecticut Experiment Station
made experiments to compare the eff
feet of muriate with that of sulphate
of potash on the starch content and
yield of tubers The potatoes were
grown on very poor soil which was
dressed with 400 pounds nitrate soda,
615 pounds acid phosphate and 120
pounds of muriate or sulphate of pot
ash. The yield was increased from AZ
to 228 bushels of salable tubers per
acre. Doubling the potash, applying
240 pounds per acre. increased the
yield only twelve bushels per acre over
what was produced when 100 pounds
were applied. Muriate produced a
somewhat greater yield than sulphate.
but the tubers contained slightly more
water and less starch than when sui
plate was used. The evidence in re-
gard to the relative effect of sulphate
and muriate of potash on potatoes is
somewhat conflicting. Most of the ex
periments made in this country and
Europe show that sulphate produces
better tubers with less water and a
slightly higher starch content, but the
difference is slight. Some German ex-
perimenters, Pfeiffer and others, have
recently published results of expert
ments showing that pure muriate has
no injurious effect on the tubers, but
impurities, noticeably chloride of mag
nesia, are influential in depressing the
proportion of starch.

The New Democracy Stand. Firm.

The reclamation of the Democratic
party by the people, and its new bap-
tism in the faith of the fathers drove
the money kings and corporations, to-
gether with their agents and attor-
neys, into the Hannaite camp. They
carried with them large number of
voters, mostly residents of cities who

subsidized commercial press. But

ments challenging the foes of popular
government and successfully main

A Republic Cannot Govern Colonies.

1t will be a sad thing for the coun-
try, it will be sad thing for man
kind if the people of the United States
come to abandon their fundamental
doctrine. We are giving it hard
strain in our dealing with the negro
at the South. We are giving it hard
strain in our dealing with the great
problem of immigration. But it can
not stand if this country undertake
also to exercise dominion over con-
quered islands, over vassal states, over
subject races; if in addition to the
differences of race and the differences
of education we attempt to govern
great masses Of people, aliens in birth,
of strange language, of different re-
ligions. If we do it, our spirit will
not, l am afraid-God grant that I
may be wrong-the American spirit
will not enter into and possess them,
but their spirit will enter into and
possess u.s.
An aristocracy or monarchy may
govern subject states. 1t never was
done and never will be done success
fully by democracy or a republic.

to AZ per cent, with an average OF

5 to AZ per cent, with an average OF
about ten per cent This means about
l,5OO,0000 bushels per year. One rea-
son why the loss to the oat crop from
smut is underestimated Is that many
OF the smut heads are whipped off by
the wind and SO are unnoticed, but at
harvest time the stalk that is cut is
bare. Then again the stalks affected
by smut are frequently dwarfed and
do not show among the other heads,
even in the sheaf Then, too, smut
sometimes exists without being rec
ognlzed. it being set down as blight.
Ihis loss can be entirely prevented by
treating the oats with hot water, dip
ping the seed oats in water for five
minutes at temperature of $50 to 1877
degrees. For this work a kettle is
needed as we'll as two barrels and a
thermometer One barrel should con-
tain warm water and another cold
water. The oats should be sacked in
quantities of one to one and halt
bushels. The kettle should be large
enough to hold one bag at a time.
After the bag of oats has remained
Tor the specified time in the kettle Of
hot water it should be lifted out and
dipped at once into the barrel of cool
water. The barrel of warm water is
used to take of the chill from the oats
before dipping in the water at 1872 de-
grees. If the day be warm this pre-
caution will not be necessary. The
oats can be sown at once by hand
without drying.

THE APOSTLE OF CANT.

Would it be gliding refined gold and
painting the lily to say that President
Mckinley is the Apostle of Cant
meaning by that cant in it's most Of
fensive term, the Shiny, sliddery cant
that disgusts honest men? In none
of the nantes of cant does Mr.. Nc
Kinley appear to worse advantage than
when posing at missionary meetings,
as at Ocean Grove during the past
summer, and as he will appear at Car
negie hall, April 20, before represent
atives of missionary societies at work
in all countries, from Greenlands icy
mountains to Indias burning strand.
AS the vast congregation stands up to
sing Bishop Heber's immortal mission
airy hymn, which long ago burst
through sectarian lines and became
the possession of all Christian people,
we wonder what burning thoughts will
flash through Mr.. McKinley's mind at
the words
Shall we whose souls are lighted,
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted.
The lamp of life deny?"
Will the Apostle of Cant think at
that moment of the blotches of blood
and the foul stains of crime which
he has draggled over the annals of
the republic founded by our fathers,
light to enlighten the world with
liberty, and the glory of godly people?
We think not. On the contrary, we
feel assured, that after the singing of
the hymn is over, President Mckinley
will arise and shuttle off choice col
lection of truisms from his book of
canting phrases, ending with phon
ographical selection of elevated senti-
ments like those he voices before
every one of his mean and shuffling
acts.-Newark IN. j. Ledger.

Senator Hears great speech in the
Senate Tuesday will be widely read
and discussed, but it is doubtful if it
will arrest the Senator's party in its
progress toward avowed imperialism.
Said the senator:
Perseverance in the present policy
will be the abandonment of the prin-
ciples upon which our government is
founded; it will change our republic
into an empire; our methods of legis-
lation, of diplomacy, of administration
must hereafter be those which belong
to empires and not those which be-
long to republics
Why does the Massachusetts states
men continue to support a party which
is bent on running the country? He
declares that nothing can be accom-
plished save through the Republican
party, the policy of which he de-
nounces as that of Aaron Burr.
1t is curious example of the power
of tradition and party name. George
F. Hoar, in point of learning, charac-
ter and public service, stands at the
very head of American public men.
But, in spite of his convictions, party
spirit controls him. Washington's
warning can have little weight with
ordinary politicians when men like
Hoar disregard it.-St. Louis Post

It is all a part of the administers
TONS policy of unlimited extravaganza
that the war taxes are to be allowed
to pile up an immense surplus in the
treasury. The Republican party can
find plenty of ways of spending it if
only the people will return it to power
for another four years.
1t would be, perhaps. of some cam
paign advantage to reduce the taxes
in certain directions, but the enormous
expenditures in every direction must
be partly recompensed by a portion
of these heavy taxes, and it is re-
garded as too delicate a matter to
make partial reduction. So the peo-
pie are to bear the taxes, in time of
peace, as long as the Republicans
have the power to continue the ex-
action. JACKSON DAY.
