IMMENSE PROFIT.
Consul General at Frankfort Gives
Some Facts Regarding krupp
Guns.

Consul General Guenther, at Frank
fort, has furnished to the state depart
ment some facts with reference to the
enormous profits made by Krupp in his
contracts for guns and ammunition
with the German government. The
consul is informed that some time ago
Krupp furnished to the government
field guns at $1,145 each. Competitors
afterward received orders of the same
kind for S464 each. Krupp thereupon
reduced his price to S452. Shrapnels
for which Krupp received So each his
competitors can furnish for a little
over 81.
The statement that KBupp alone can
furnish nickel plates for the German
navy is said to be untrue, as the process
of manufacture is well known. The
testing grounds required by the navy
department, however, are of the Same
dimensions as those of Krupp. which
belong to the government and have
been rented to him, thus precluding
competition, as without assurance
from the government no other manu-
facturer would dare to risk the invest
nent of from $4,000 to $750.000 requi-
site for testing grounds.

DOWlE TO MAKE LACE.
Faith Healer COnfers with Gage
About Importing Machines
and Laborers.

John Alexander Dowie, the faith
healer of Chicago and the general
overseer of the Christian Catholic
church" was at the treasury depart
ment at Washington the other day
and had a conference with Secretary
Gage and Assistant Secretary Taylor
He stated that he had recently pur
chased at Nottingham, England, five
machines for making Nottingham lace.
as well as other necessary machinery.
which he would set up near Waukegan.
Ill. He also had engaged under con-
tract 20 experts in lacemaking, and his
purpose in seeing the treasury officials
was to learn whether there would be
legal objection to their coming into the
country.
Dowie was informed by the secretary
that the contract labor laws of the
United States made specific exceptions
in the cases of workmen to be en-
ployed in an industry new to the coun-
try, and. as lacemaking undoubtedly
was a new industry here, there could be
no objection to his bringing over the
men he had engaged. DR.. Dowie stated
that he had 10000 acres of land near
Waukegan, where his plant would be
established for the benefit of the
members of his church community,
and he expected to make the enterprise
profitable.

TO BE ExHAUsTIvELY TESTED.
Submarine Boat Holland to BE MANI
euvered at Newport Torpedo
Station.

To definitely determine the value of
the submarine boat Holland for naval
purposes the navy department has di-
rected,that she be taken to the torpedo
station at Newport. where she will be-
exhaustiyely tested.
The determination of the depart
ment to send the Holland to Newport is
based upon recommendation made by
Rear-Admiral Charles O'Neil. chief of
ordnance. Rear-Admiral O'Neil de-
sires to ascertain what, if any. defects
exist in the vessel, what her advantages
are. and whether it will be advisable
construction of such craft.
The torpedo station at Newport is
said to be an ideal place for the expert
ments. Officers and men at that point
can be detailed to man the craft. There
are tugs available to keep close watch
of the strange boat and rescue her
crew in case anything of an untoward
character happens. Rear Admiral
O'Neil has given very careful instruc-
tions to Commander n. E. Mason, in
spector in charge of the torpedo sta
ton.
The trial of the vessel will be made
at first under the supervision of an ex-
pert designated by the Holland COM
pany. As soon as the officers and men
who volunteer to serve on the Holland
are sufficiently well-acquainted with
the craft the expert will not be re-
quired, and the test under service con-
ditions wils then be made.

SHEEP IN ORCHARDS.
As Insect Destroyers They Are Far
More Reliable and EfficaciOus
Than the Pigs.

l agree that when a pig gets an
apple containing a worm there is no
danger that that worm will ever
cause any damage to the future APP
pie crop. But as an insect destroyer
the pig is nowhere with the sheep.
The trouble with the pig is that it is
too much like a man; when it lies
down and goes to sleep it is obfivious
of all its surroundings. 1t sleeps
just as soundly and snores just as
loud as its human cousin, and when
an apple drops it doesn't hear it or
go for it until it's sleep is out. The
instinct of the worm teaches it to
get out of the apple just as quickly as
possible after it drops. l have stood
and watched an apple after it struck
the ground, and seen the worm come
hustling out in hurry and go for
some secure place, and before the pig
gets the apple the worm is in some
safe hiding place. Not so the
sheep; they never sleep so soundly
but they will hear an apple falling
rods away. and they are up and there
before the worm can get out, and
;hat worm is travelling to that bourne
whence no worm ever comes back to
curse the apple grower. Yes, pigs
are good. but sheep are hundred
times better.-J. S. Woodward. in
Rural New Yorker.

BUTTER-MAKING HINTS.
u They tse Followed a. closesy a.
Possiia n Good Article Ix sure
40 Rexul4

The first and foremost essential is
ABSOLUTE cleanliness. and this apnlias
tn the COW stable, the milk-pails,
niilk-pans and all other utensils, the
nnik room, etc. When the milk is
brought in. strain it as soon as pos
sloie, filling each mill1-pan half full.
IL the milk-room is very near the
kitchen or other living rooms. place
newspapers over the pans to keen ont
the dust. Do not break into the
cream if it can be avoided. and do not
let the milk go over three days with
out skimming.
Put the cream in large stone lar
and mix 1T over well each time fresh
cream is added. Keep the dish in a
rather warm situation if possible; 60
degrees Fahrenheit is about right.
Empty into the churn whenever the
jar is full and after the churn has be-
come half filed churn the cream into
putter. In cold weather the process
may be quickened by setting the
churn and all in dishpan of hot wa
ter.
In churning, let the strokes be firm
and even, and do not leave off until
the butter has come The butter
should be gathered in a wooden bowl
and quickly worked over to dissolve
the salt and eliminate the butter
milk. Then it may stand for few
hours, when it should receive it's final
working over. few dipperfuls of
cold water should next be added to
help dissolve the salt and to get the
butter into shape for packing. The
main point of mixing the butter is to
make it of a good consistency for put
ting in the jars; it should not be
worked over too long or the salt
grains will cut the globules, thus
making it sticky. Butter should be
worked over at a temperature of
about 60 degrees. A higher tempera-
ture causes it to be soft, while low
er one makes it 'mealy"
In winter, if the butter is not of a
good, rich color, do not hesitate to
put teaspoonful or two of some
frst-elass butter coloring in with the
cream, before churning, as the liquid
is perfectly harmless and will add
much to the selling qualities of the
butter. Many people will not buy un-
less it is eolored to just such a shade
Fresh, clean dairy butter is some
thing that will always bring a good
price, and anyone who follows the
pursuit will find that it pays if car
ried on intelligently. Poor butter is
drug in the market, but anyone can
soon learn to produce first-class but
ter, just by exercising a certain
amount of care, common sense and
perseverance.-Ohio Farmer.

The Spread OF TubercuIosis.

Generally speaking tuberculosis
(consumption) is pot inherited. 1t is
transmitted in certain ways. The
first way is by the animal or person
coughing up some of the matter and
having it dry till the particles float
in the air. when it is breathed in by
other beings. The second way is TAX
ing it through tuberculous udder,
by which the germs become scattered
through the milk. The germs while
wet cannot be breathed into the
lungs for the reason that they lie
where they fall. Care must there
fore be taken to keep tuberculous
cows from feeding with other cows,
as their sputa may become the source
of infection for the whole herd.

Sale of Inmature Calves

law that would prohibit the sale
of calves for food before they are
three months old would put an end
TO bob veal and lead to improve
rnent OF stock, for the reason that if
farmers were compelled to feed their
calves to the age of three months
they would then give some attention
to breeding in order to derive as
much as possible from the calves.
The scrub bull would soon become
useless under such system. and the
farmers would find the change great
1y in their favor. Many of the infant
calves are sold when but three days
old and are then unfit for human
focI.-Prairie Farmer.

r. aNSPLANTED TREES.
ahey Require More Care and watch
ing Than Most Farmers Are In
cIined to Give Them

Enough cannot be said in favor OF
mulching trees as soon as they are
planted. 1t is all important TO protect
the roots from the effect of evapora-
tion for at least six months after plant
ing. The small fibers must be allowed
to form and get good hold of the soil.
and large feeding roots must be able
to reach out, so as to make sure of
supply of food and drink for the growth
that takes place in limbo. 1t is not
enough to pour on water from above.
This, of course, must be done in very
dry weather, but an irregular supply
of this sort does not meet the demands
of the roots. Cover the soil so far as
it has been disturbed by the spade with
layer of three or four inches of &C al
ashes, or sawdust, or loose strawy
manure. Avoid using rich and raw
manure. Tanbark is in some cases
available. and where nothing else can
be obtained use weeds or fresh cut hay
This application will retain the mois-
ture in the soil. and, what is equally
important, will keep the roots at an
equalized temperature. Without
mulch, the more you pour on water
the more liable the ground is to bak-
ing and becoming impervious to
natural circulation of moisture Above
all, avoid sprinkling the soil with "a
slight supply of water.
The care of trees. for the first year
after setting, consists in pinching out
every bud that starts out of place. Be
sides keeping out the superfuous
shoots, in October cut back the years
growth one-third TO one-half. Some
people advocate pinehing in the growth,
during summer. in order to retard the
flow of sap and hasten the formation of
fruit buds. This can be done. but in the
production of healthy, long lived trees
it is unwise. By following these simple
rules anyone can make success of tree
planting. 1t is very seldom that trees
come from any nursery in such a con-
dition that they will not thrive under
this management.-N. Y. Tribune.

we have not yet seen a single un-
favorable statement about rape from
and who have tested it as food for
sheep, hogs or poultry, and that is
more than we can say for any of the
other new forage crops, as vetch, sor-
ghum, bronze grass, katfir corn or
any of the rest. While some praise
them very highly, others find some
fault, or have failed to induce them to
grow well upon their soil. But rape
seems to grow anywhere that cab
bages or turnips will grow, and to
do nearly as well, whether sown in
the shade of an orchard or out in
the open field, and very nearly as well
upon a light soil decently manured as
on the most fertile fields of the prai-
rie. We hope our readers will try it
this year if they have anything to
feed it to. 1t may not prove as good
fodder as the corn crop, but it is
worthy of trial.-American Agricul-

How to Make Drafting Wax.

To make grating wax take one
pound of tallow, two pounds of bees
wax and four pounds of resin. Slowly
melt all. stir well, and when partially
cooled pour into pans which have been
moistened or oiled to keep the wax from
clinging too tightly to them. When
thoroughly cold break into convenient
pieces. For use it should be applied
carefully ever all exposed cuts and open
cracks around the gratis. \ small
paint brush is most convenient for this
purpose. 1t can be safely applied much
warmer than can be borne by the hand.

An exchange well illustrates the inn

western farmer who had plowed land
100 rods wide and a half-n1ile long. He
made three fields. each 33 rods wide and
100 rods long. When planted in corn
he found that his man could cultivate it
the long way of the row in three days,
while if going the other way there
was four days work. Just one day
extra was spent in turning around at
