DID NOT KILL HIS WOUNDED.
Statement that Seymour Had Done So

Statement that Seymour Had Done So
Evidently a Fabrication.
There is nothing in the extensive re-
port of Admiral Seymour received in San
Francisco by the American Maru to
prove the sensational story that was cir
eulated the earlier part of this month to
the effect that Admiral Seymour, who
commanded the Pekin relief expedition,
killed his wounded to save them from the
Chinese.
Commander S. w Very, U. s. n, who
returned from the Orient on the steamer
and others who were at Hong Kong when
Admiral Seymour returned from Ten
Tsin did not hear the story. and the adj
miraps report, which is an elaboration of
the cablegram published on the 30th OF
June. makes not the slightest mention of
the affair, but, on the contrary, goes into
particulars OF the bravery Of the allies in
guarding the wounded, who were placed
in flatboats and towed down the river by
details of soldiers and marines while the
main body of the troops fought the Chin
csc off with rifles and Maxims.
The Chinese minister in Washington
received dispatch Tuesday morning
from Sheng, the director of railroads and
telegraphs at Shanghai, stating that the
foreign ministers are to be sent from
Pekin to Tien-Tsin under escort; also
that the impeia government has not
only been protecting them, but has sup
piled them with food.

The feed does not affect the richness
of the milk. You cannot tell by the
looks of milk how rich it is.
You cannot afford to run cows on half
time.
To get high grade milk brush the
cows before milking and it is advised
by many that the udders be clipped.
Manage to have the COWS come fresh,
so as to maintain a uniform supply
throughout the year.
1t is claimed that summer silage will
stop summer shrinkage.
Don't make a strainer do too much
work. Have fresh one for every ten
or dozen cows.
Cool the milk and keep it at given
temperature.
Care, cleanliness and cold are the
three "c's" OF milk production.

New York-There are few changes IL
the business situation to be recorded this
week. Sentiment appears to be slightly
improved, but no pronounced increase in
the trade movement is noticeable. 1t is
likely that none will be seen until The
crop outlook can be gagged with great
er degree of accuracy and something
more is known with regard to the yfob-
able course of the money markets next
fall. So far as the volume of business
on the stock exchanges is concerned,
there has not been any improvement
worth mentioning, but the tone of the
markets has been strong and some of the
specialtieS have shown sharp advances.
Possibly the most encouraging develop
ment in the situation is the effort which
is being made by the large iron and steel
interests to arrive at an understanding
regarding production AMI prices. The
capital of the country is working on
broad business lines.
Chicago-Considerab activity charac-
terized operations on the Board OF Trade
during the week, but il was mainly con-
fined to professionals, interest of the gem
eral public having largely disappeared as
prices receded The action of the grain
markets was for the most part governed
by the climatic Influences upon the grow
ing crops. Wheat, after selling lower
than it has touched for month or more,
rested Saturday within u cent a bushel
of the price it closed Mt the week preyi-
Gus. There is great difference Of opinion
regarding the seasons probable pioduc-
ton of both wheat and corn, although the

dication of the side of the question to
which the majority inclnes. With re-
gard to wheat, the preponderance Of opin-
ion points to a belize in somewhat higher
prices for the season than prevailed dur
ing the one previous, but there is a sug-
gestion that from the recent decline OF
II cents bushel from the top of the
former advance more moderate views of
the effect of the crop damage in this
country in its relation to the worlds pro-
ductjon have come to prevail. While
good feeling exists among the other pow
ers, the war in China is not likely to be
of any benefit to the bulls in wheat, if
for no other reason than the certain eff
feet it will have in producing another
heavy advance in ocean freights Unless
the worlds total wheat production shall
prove smaller than at present believed
after its measure can be more accurately
taken-the highest prices of the season
probably already have been seen Corn
gives promise of a bountiful crop, and
although stocks OF old grain are believed
to be small and the shipping demand ex-
cellent, it will be difficult to prevent
further decline in price unless the wealth
er shall again become unpropitious.

Curing Clover Hay.

Alvah Agee tells in the National
Stockman how he cured five acres Of
clover hay this year, in which he goes
farther than we have advised in the
way of curing it in the heap, and we
have been accused of being very radi-
cal on that subject. He followed the
advice of T. n. Ralston, as given at the
Farmers Institute in Armstrong Coun-
ty. Pennsylvania. The clover was cut
from June u and June 13, in cloudy
weather, and light rains followed near
ly every day until June Is. Most of it
was put in the heaps after about two
hours whiting. One lot was left an hour
longer, and this came out dark One lot
was racked and punched before much
wilted, and some of this was moldy.
The punches were opened out and aired
on the following Monday not more
than is usually thought necessary in
ordinary handling. and then drawn to
the barn With the exceptions above
noted, where the clover was wilted not
enough or too much before heaping, the
hay was quite green in color, with all
heads and leaves on and no waste He
considers the experiment success.

Care of Greenhouses.

Insects and fungous diseases are bad
enough in the open field, but much
worse when they get into the green
house. An occasional scalding of the
benches and shelves, and washing
them down with a solution of carbolic
acid or sulphurie acid, will help much
to keep them out, but if this fails it
may be necessary TO clean them out,
removing the earth and putting in a
new supply, then close and fumigate
with burning charcoal and sulphur,
taking care not to inhale the fumes, or
let them get info another house where
rne plants are Remove earth from all
pots. wash them with carbolic acid So
luton. wash off in clear water the
earth from roots of plants, and repot in
fresh earth. Much work it is, but what
is the use of a greenhouse when plants
viii not grow?

Folding Hay Door.

1t has always been good deal of
trouble to close the end door to barn
where hay is taken in with horse hay
fork. We prefer to drive in the barn
to unload the hay, but will admit that
a barn will hold more when it is taken
in at the end. The cut explains itself.
The upper. part Of the door is hung to
the lower part and folds in when open
and will open clear back under the cor
nice and can be easily closed by closing
the lower part first and raising the up

Baclkwoodsman CouldIr't Get Anything

He had driven from a backwoods
hamlet to the station and after making
an inquiry of the conductor boarded

Philadelphia Inquirer.
When well on the way he stopped the
blue-coated official and asked in all Sc
robustness:

They are the more destructive here be-
cause their natural enemies lsEch as

insects are kept In check in their native
localities and have greater opportun-

LOSSES from Grain Rusts,

The aggregate loss from rusts in
grain is estimated by the Department
of Agriculture to be over $40000,00G
annually. The only method of con-
trolling rusts appears to be in the direc-
ton of obtaining resistent varieties by
crossing and breeding. The loss from
smuts of grain is annually reduced
through the application of hot water and
other methods of treating the seed to
kill the smut spores. The present aver
age yield of grain, says the department
report, will be largely increased when
the smut diseases are conquered.

The Superior Court of Pennsylvania
decided that what is known as the
color clause of the oleo law is sound.
This means that oleo cannot legally be
sold. Yellow is the standard color of
butter, and it is illegal to counterfeit
other fats by coloring them yellow. In
stead of grieving over this the oleo men
ought to rejoice, for it gives them a
grand chance to prove that people are
eager to buy oleo Let them put it on

At last a way has been provided to tel

tiic bugbear, the saturation Of the cable
covering which prevents the voice being
heard over long distances, has been over
come and nothing except the laying Of a
properly constructed cable now prevents
our having direct speech with Europe.
The discovery Is announced by Prof. NJ
A. Hupin Of Columbia College, and even
if Prof Hupin's reputation did not youeh
for the authenticity Of his claims the en-

scientific men generally proves that
most important discovery has been made.
Aside from the Spectacular element Of

discovery is Of much value 10 land tele-
