The UndOIng Of Hilton


why, hello, George" said Tom
Gaddis. Been out to get a little beef
steak for your suffering family"
Did she say you could come up to
the wicked club for a minute, Geor-
gle. dcar?' tainted John Stroply.
Say. old man, what have you got in
that bundle? A pound of butter or a
package of self-rising oatmeal? These
family cares are terrible, Ell, G%eorgie?"
Fred Atkinson smiled pityingly as he
spoke.
1t was the first time George Hilton
had been in the club since his mar
riage six weeks ago. Before that hap
Ply event" as the local newspapers had
called it. he had been one OF the club
"regulars.'' The boys were all glad
to see him when he hurried in a little
before 4 o'clock one afternoon last
week, carrying a small package in his
hand.
1t was that bundle which prompted
the derisive questions which greeted
him. and il is with the strange ad-
ventures of that bundle that this pain
fully true tale has to do.
1T won't do you fellows a bit OF
good to try to josh me-" said Hilton,
Just go ahead and do your worst. II
you want to know what is in the bun
die I'll tell you. It's a Photographic
record"
That was bold on Hilton's part. but
not wise or discreet.
Drop a nickel in the slot and hear
the rawlings of George Hilton" said
Gaddis in an aside. What are you 60
ing to do with it, George. Take it
down to your happy little home"
That is exactly what l am going to
do" said Hilton. who did not know
that he was tempting providence. Il
bought it for my wife"
"And how does the little song go,
G~eorgie?" asked Gaddis. is it What
Is Home Without Hardwood Floors?
Hum it for us. won't you?"
81 hope you'll excuse me-" inter-
rupted Hilton, "if | venture the opin-
ion that the som on that record is
none of your business. And now I'd
like to buy you Indians a drink. Come
on now, I've got to be over to the Office
by 4 o'clock and I'm in a hurry. Here,
Edward" to the mar behind the desk,
Just put this package away for me.
I'll call for it as | go home for din
ner."
The Photographic record was put
away in the clerks desk and a few
minutes later Hilton left the club

Governor Roosevelt has signed the
Henry bill, which provides that no
drug clerk in New York shall be al
lowed to work more than seventy
hours a week; that they shall be al
lowed one hour for each meal and have
one full day off in every two weeks.
Another clause of the nil provides
that clerks must not sleep in any
store or apartment which does not
comply with the sanitary inspection
OF the health board. The passage OF
this bill will mean a general over
hauling Of drug stores throughout the

Democrats used to say that Europe
would not buy American goods if we
barred out European goods by a pro-
tective tariff. In the 1895 fiscal year,
under the Wilson bill, Europe bought
from us to the extent of 1854, 0OO, 600,
Last year, under the Dingley protec-
tive tariff, Europe's purchases amount
ed to 1858, 900, 900. The balance to the
credit of the protective tariff was 1920
900, 900 last year in our trade with Eu-
one alone.

In view of the early construction of
the Nicaragua canal, favored alike by
republicans and democrats, it is essen
tial that American ships be construct
ed for use when the canal is completed.
II the Kansas City convention favors
the free registry of foreign built (chief-
ly British ships, instead of American
ships, built by American labor, for our
foreign carrying, they will demon
strate anew their incapacity. and still
further justify their overwhelming de-
feat next November.
, 1900-07-02

The future is large with American
ism, in which free tradeism will have
no part. In this category stands the
free ship proposition, which means the
purchase Of secondhand British, in
stead Of the construction of American
ships for opr foreign carrying. If the
Kansas City convention declares for
free ships and turns down American
ships the people will bury them deep
in November

ton. the customs receipts of the United
States amounted to SS29, 99S, III. In

IF we do not buy we can not sell,
the democrats used to say. When we
were buying European goods under
their free-trade tariff in 1895, we ex-
ported only 1923, OOO, 900 worth more of
our goods than we bought from for
eigners. During the last two years we
nave averaged sales amounting to over
$500, OOO, 900 more than we bought.

couldn't buy unless We sold.

NOTES FROM WILSON.

t"rrespondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Mr.. Editor, hope you will warn
the farmers against planting too
much cotton and tobacco next year,
for think we have a lesson now that
ought to last long time. We see
plainly that supply and demand have
something to do with the price of
our products. 1 don't mean that
farmers should do less or plant less
Of other crops, but think it should
be in the direction of more home
supplies and stop running in debt for
everything we have to use on the
farm.
1 hope you will ever keep The Pro
gressive Farmer up to the high stand
ard it maintains at the present. If
you can, your subscription list will
be bound to rise.
As l am a very poor scribe, l will
come to a close, wishing The Pro
gressive Farmer unbounded success
IN the future. w. G. D.

HARRY FARMERS TALKS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Mary Jane wants me to fix place
to keep her flowers through the
winter. I shall take common goods
box about 3 feet long, 215 wide, and
about as deep as it is wide and dig
out a place to fit it near the house.
Let one end be about 10 inches in the
ground and the other end about 6
inches higher so that the water will
shed off. Now take some paper and
paste on the inside and bank up the
earth to the top all around on the
outside, make a good cover out of
boards nailed together, take some
straw and place near by so when the
weather gets very cold you can throw
some over the top and your work is
done.
I should have said that the slope
should be toward the South. In
mild weather you can prop the cover
and let the air and sunshine in. Of
course this is for a small number of
plants, the house can be made larger
if necessary. AS Harry Farmer said
in the outset, he will give you expe-
rience and not theory A box or
flower house like the above carried
flowers in zero weather when costly
flower houses failed.
Sell all the old hens now while they
are fat. A hen at years is going
back. Some of them taught your
young chickens to do mischief like
pulling up corn and eating eggs and
many other things that cause you to
say and think of things that you
don't want the preacher to hear.
Now is a good time to get some
wood cut so that whern the cold wet
weather comes you will not be tor
mented by the women complaining
when you want your meals on time.
Clean the drains and bitches SO
that the water will not stand to
make mud around the yard and barn,
but never cut new bitches in the win
ter, as the freezes will fill them up
by spring. HARRY FARMER.

GOOD BAcoN-HoW TO HAVE IT.

A year or two ago, Mr.. B. w.
Jones wrote for Home and Farm an
article on the above subject. AS the
hog killing season is near at hand we
reprint Mr.. Jones letter herewith
and commend its many helpful sug-
gestions to Progressive Farmer
readers:
The jowls, heads and livers are put
in a separate pile, after being salted,
The chimes and spare ribs are but
slightly sa1ted, and laid on top OF the
pile of meat The droppings from
the meat collected in buckets, should
go to the compost heap. If there
are rats, they must be trapped or
broken off in some way. Cats should
be excluded from the house. Close
fitting boxes which some use to keep
out the rats, are not best for holding
the meat while it is taking salt; it
needs air.
In ten days to three weeks. accord,
ing to weather and size of the meat,
break bulk and resalt, using the old
salt again with just a dash of new
salt along with it. In four to six
weeks, break up and wash the pieces
preparatory to smoking. Some farm
ers do not wash the salt off, but the
meat receives smoke better and looks
nicer if washed.
Withes or strings of basket wood,
bears grass, or twine, one in the
hook end of each ham and shoulder,
and two in the thick side of each
middle, are fastened in the meat by
which to suspend it for smoking.
Before it is hung up, the entire flesh
surface of the hams and shoulders
and sometimes the middles also, are
busted thickly with fine black pep
per, using tin pepper box to apply
it. Sometimes mixture of equal part
of red and black pepper is used. The
pepper helps very much to give a
good flavor to the meat and makes it
better to the taste.
It was thought formerly that black
pepper applied on meat would keep
the bacon bug from being trouble
some and filing the meat with "skip-
pers." But it is now known that it
does very little good in this direction.
The skipper skips just as lively
where the pepper is as where it is
not.
This meat is now hung upon sticks
or hooks overhead very close with

PERMANENT P. RES.

,,rrespOndence of The Progressive Farmer.
To say the least it is not an easy
matter to secure a good, permanent
nasture unless the soil is unusually
GOOD and the seasons very favorable.
Most pastures intended for perma-
nent use are ruined by the greed of
the owner, who robs it of material
which is needed the first few years to
Give it firm sod foundation. An
other mistake is in the selection of
the seed. The very best is none too
GOOD for this work, and the mixture
cannot be selected with any too
mnch care. Seedsmen put up now
what they call ideal permanent pas
trra mixtures, and some of these OBJ
+ained from reliable places I have
found to be as good as anything that
one can mix at home. never pur-
chase a mixture unless the scotsman
is willing to give me some infOrma-
tion about the general character of
the seeds. I do not ask him to re-
veal his formula to me, but do not
care to take everything upon faith.
want to know what grass seeds are
in it otherwise what assurance have
we that he has not mixed the cheap
est and most worthless seeds?
started pasture field some eight
wears ago with a good mixture that
| first tried one season in a small
way. and besides cutting hay from it
for two seasons 1 have pastured it
successfully for six seasons. The
field was pastured in the fall with
wheat, and it was sown at the rate
of three bushels to the acre. pre-
pared the soil as thoroughly as 1
would for crop of wheat. The soil
is naturally good for either wheat,
corn or oats. The seeding was done
early in the fall. With the harrow
I worked in a top dressing of we'll
rotted manure. The seed then sown
on the fine pulveTized top soil quickly
TOOK root and found immediate food.
If commercial fertilizers are used in
stead of manure it should be applied
freely in the manure for the first
year is preferable. Every other
year I fertilized the field, first with
barnyard, we'll rotted manure, and
second with commercial fertilizers
rich of about equal parts of potash,
nitrogen and phOsphoric acid. By
alternating this better results are OBJ
tanned than if either one is used
alone
The first three years 1 moved the
field and obtained large yields of hay.
As there are always some undesirable
grasses that start up early in the
spring and go to seed by early sum-
mer, I made it a practice the first
three years to run the moving ma
chine over the field in spring. This
cut off the quick growing plants and
prevented them from seeding and
CrOWulng out the more enduring
plants. In this way 1 practically
exterminated many weeds and unde-
sirable plants. During the years
when the field was moved for hay no
pasturing should be allowed. After
the third season l turned the field
over to pasturing, and it had a good
sod and has ever since produced eX-
cellent pasture. expect it to con
tinUe 50 for ten years more. A
properly prepared and seeded pasture
should last from ten to fifteen years,
but poor one will hardly hold out
five years. G.. S. WALTERS.

The details of the performance of the
recent cyclone at Herman, Neb., are
now becoming known. Eye witnesses

agents are still estimating property
losses. Herman is about forty miles
north of Omaha. The inhabitants OF
This agricultural hamlet had PROVIDED
their houses with cellars and many
had built specially constructed cyclone
cellars. While engaged in the day S
work, cylindrical cloud formed oe-
fore their eyes from clear sky. The
cry of cyclone gave the impetus OF
terror to their fight and before the
tempest reached the outskirts of the
town every vilager had gathered wife

For a minute almost interminable
they waited. Then the crash came
and succession of sounds resemb-
ling the explosion of giant frecrack-
ers told of the lifting from their foun-
dations of house after house.
In one humble home the housewife
had been accustomed to place her pre-
serves on cellar shelf close to the
moor of the house. These jars ex-
tended some three inches above the
outside ground surface. When the
house was uprooted like a sapling and

Within thirty minutes from the eli
max of the cyclone the stricken peo-
pie were seeking consolation IN malt
and spirituous liquors. The principal
hotel of the village was not touched
by the cyclone itself but suffered
from the impact of tree against its
wall like battering ram. A massive
boiler was gathered in the arms of the
cyclone and whirled up hill 800 feet
