SENATOR HoAR is being charged by
administration newspapers as respon-
sible for the continuance of the war in
the Philippines. The truth is, If the
Filipinoes get any encouragement from
Americans, it is from the officers aud
soldiers on the island.
The soldiers there mingle freely with
the non-combatants and they express
freely their disgust with the country
and the natives occupying it. Almost
to man they tell the natives of their
desire to return to their home country
and show their delight when ordered
aboard a transport for the return.
Aguinaldo is thoroughly advised of
these things. Every Filipino knows of
them and it is what they see and hear
with their own eyes and ears and not
what is reported to them from this
country that gives them encourage
ment to continue the war. The Amer
lean soldiers will do their full duty in
camp and on the battle field as long as
they are held in the Philippines but
they have little heart in pursuing n
lcowardIy enemy who like the cur banks
at the sound of their approach and runs
at the first sight of them. 1t is not Mr..
Hoar who is responsible for the contin-
nance OF the war, but the full hospitals,
the open talk of the soldiers and their
encouragement to Mr.. AguinaldO.

Coming Home.

Gen1 Joe Wheeler has resigned and
Is coming home from the Philippines.
THE NEWS expressed the belief when
the old soldier sailed away that he
would return in less time than one
year. He returns disappointed man.
Fighting foe worthy Of ones best
steel and fighting cowardly FilipiDoes
are very different. The one commands
the best efforts and bravest deeds of
his opponent; the other arouses spirit
OF disgust and contempt for his coward
ly enemy. The one fights as Greek fights
Greek; the other barks like the cayote
on the plain and runs at your approach.
Yes, the old general Is coming home.

A New Pacifcator.

The artesian wells of eastern Al.
geria have reconciled tribes whom
military terrorism failed to pacify.
The first appearance, of the rock drill
machinery merely provoked their ban
ter, but when unfailing fountains of
cold water burst forth and filed tanks
and refrigeration canals their jibes
turned to silence and finally to grunts
of approval. Now they are besieging
the tents of the government engi-
neers, begging them to try their luck
here and there and promising their
political support in case of an aquatic
treasure trove should restore the pro-
ductiveness of their parched-out fields.

The Most Ancient Machine Tool.

There can be very little doubt that
the potter's wheel. or potter's lathe,
as it is also termed, represents to-day
the most ancient form of machine tool
known. Among the many sculptured
records of the trades and occupations
which so vividly represent the Gus.
toms and habits of the ancient Egyp-
tians, the potter and his wheel have
been found frequently depicted, and
it is curious to note that through the
almost countless generations since
that time this crude form of lathe has
undergone no material modification.
The primitive form was evidently q
small round table, set on pivot and
free to revolve, heiLg turned by hand
at intervals; and to this device in
the course of time such simple con.
veniences rs table to support it and
a foot or hand-power turning ar
rangement, displaced in recent years,
in possibly few isolated cases, by
actual engine-power driving. In gen
eral use, however, the potter's wheel
of the present time bears all the char
acteristics of the one which, 400C
years or more ago, served to turn out
pottery attesting unsurpassable taste
and skill.-Cassier's Magazine.

A close examination Of the individua;
yields may reveal lessons of more thar
passing interest to owners of this type
of COW.
The enormously heavy yields pro
duced by some of the animals and the
exceeding richness of the milk ol
others seem to us to suggest that the
farmer possesses power in develop
ing or controlling the inherent pro
pensities of cows which is but too lit
tie appreciated, or at all events that is
not turned to adequate account. It il
obvious that the shorthorn by sys'
tematic process Of selection could be
made to equal even the Channei
Island varieties as butter producers.
or they might be cultivated, if SO de
sired, to excel the Holstein breed Of
heavy mixers. We do not think tha'
the development of one quality at the
expense of the others-as must be the
case if extremes are to be attained
would be wise proceeding for the
average farmer, but it is only too ap.
parent that the vast majority of farm
ers do not pay the strict attention tc
the selection and direction of theil
cows that consideration for their OWE
interests ought to induce them to do.
Without converting the valued cos
mopolitan breed into a one purpose
class, such as the Jersey or the Ayr
shire is, much might be done to en-
hance the value of the ordinary speci
men as an all around dairy COW.

Forests Of tn. Philippines.

But it is to the forests Of the Philip
pines that we are wholly unable to do
justice. Timber exists in great variety
and of most excellent quality. There
are to be found kinds Of wood suitable
to every purpose. Many are CT dense
and tough fiber susceptible of the
highest polish. Four kinds are so
heavy that water will not float them,
nor can they be cut with ordinary
saws. One variety is of bright
emerald green, and another rich yell
low, and they retain these colors when
polished. Another, nara perhaps
the prettiest, and much used in fine
furniture, varies in color from light
straw to deep red. 1t is strong and
hard and takes high polish. Per-
haps the best known is "molave," q
very heavy dark brown wood, used
for finishing in the interior of the
Jesuit church at Manila, where it is
said the carvings are by master hands
and of surprising beauty. Ebony is
abundant. There are the cacao tree,
the cocoanut palm and the bamboo,
all invaluable to the natives, and also
tree which yields kind of cotton.
A pitcher plant is found with re-
ceptacles that hold as much as quart
of water. There is very curious
plant with long pendent feelers that
hang near the ground and have re-
markable prehensible properties, TAX
ing the strongest hold on anything
that happens to touch them. It is
with the greatest difficulty that a
passerby can extricate himself from
one of these many-fingered, hanging
hands. Self Culture.

Start the Chicks Right.

If we expect healthy, profitabl e
flock of hens, we must not overlook
the fact that the care given the chicks
during the first few days of life deter
mines to great extent just what they
will be in mature life. Chicks must
be kept healthy, and in order to do
this system must be adopted and
strictly adhered to. They must come
from the nest free from vermln and
must not be allowed to become chilled.
They must be given the best and most
wholesome food, just what is best
suited for the forming of flesh and
bone. Those that are intended for
market require different treatment
from the pullets that we intend for
next winters layers. It takes time
and patience, coupled with hard work,
to make poultry raising success, but
it can be done. Home and Farm.

The Red.Headed Girl.

The geographical distribution ol
red-headed girls in fortunately wide.
They can be found in every inhabited
quarter of the world. The so called
dark races are frequently glorified by
glowing locks. The Spaniards are
swarthy as race, but the purest
blooded Castilians frequently show
traces of their Visigothic blood by
blue eyes and red hair. The Infanta
Eulalie, who visited this country in
1898, is red-headed. Red-haired
Italians are fairly numerous in Italy.
They are most numerous in the north
ern provinces, where there is Che
greatest infusion of German blood.
In Ireland red-haired girl is made
miserable by being called Dane. ~
This epithet is legacy of a thousand
years or more, from the time when the
Danes actually did override the coasts
of Britain. In similar manner the
Norsemen who invaded Sicily centur-
les ago and inter-married with the in
habitants left descendants with gleam-
ing brain thatches.
The Turks are ight-haired, blue
eyed race, and their children are
everywhere scattered about Asia aud
Northern Africa. And where there
aren't any red haired girls by nature
AS among the Moors and Arabs-the
glowing locks are commonest of all.

A Few Points on Alfalfa.

When sowing alfalfa seed remem-
ber that it weighs about 60 pounds to
the bushel and that from 20 to 80
pounds of seed is sufficient for each
acre. And if you are raising it for
seed it would be advisable to SOW O
little thinner than this.
As alfalfa does not attain maturity
until it has reached it's third or fourth
year, too much should not be ex-
pected of it the first year that it makes
a showing.
AS it is deep feeder plow the
land that it is to be grown on thor
oughly and it would be pretty hard to
plow too deep.
Alfalfa hay is not in itself COM
plete ration so in order to secure the
best results when feeding it, it is nee
essary to use in conjunction with it
corn fodder, wheat OF oat straw, or
roots. Alfalfa itself contains large
amount of what is known as protein to
form blood, bone and muscle, SO it is
necessary to use these other foods to
secure for the animal proper amount
of starch and fat, which is accomplished
by using feed anal, zing high in cars
bohy ydrates. If these are not given
the ration is incomplete and conse-
quently good part of the protein is
wasted.

tres you may safely judge that the
period of prosperity that we have

This season. SO far as I have been
concerned, has been an exceptionally
busy one, and believe this condition
of affairs extends all over the country.
The people like to be amused or edu
Gated, as the case may be, by the stage,
and now that they have the money tc
crafty their desires in that direction
they are patronizing the playhouses
with vengeance. Poor shows, even,
are receiving fair amount of patron
age, and when a really good show
comes along. provided the public has
been sufficiently made aware of it's
merits in advance, it is simply over
whelmed. Oar own local playhouses
have profited by this state of affairs,
while in New York everything has
gone with rush. Wages may be
raised in mills, mines and factories
and the farmers may raise their quad
ruple yields OF grain, but the true in

amount of money people are willing
to spend for enioyment's sake alone. =

Milk Can Be Too Rich. !.


The Jersey Bulletin recently said
that the richer the milk is in fat the
better for eating in it's crude form, or
words to that effect. This statement
is fully as wide of the mark as the one
concerning its cheese making value.
Every physician of note maintains that
normal milk properly balanced is far
better for food, especially for infants
and young children, than is milk rich
in fat. Probably milk containing not
more than 3.4 per cent. of fat is fully
rich enough, since the human mother s
milk seldom exceeds that figure, and
often falls below three per cent, and
it is said that nursing infants of such
mothers are more healthy than those
who get richer milk. Good medical
authorities have stated time and time
again that normal milk is much health
ier for the human than is rich milk,
and there is not careful, intelligent,
well-bred reader to-day who does not
know that three per cent. milk fresh
from the COW is much better for the
calf than is six per cent. or even four
per cent. milk, Indeed, it is quite
freely conceded that hundreds of Jer-
sey calves owe their premature death
to surfeit of rich new milk. Disor-
dered stomachs, indigestion and
"scours" are the results when such
milk is fed to calves. National Stock
