SENATOR HoAR is DISSATISFIED.
He Deprecated Tho Inability Of Tho Senate 10 Keep
lis Secrsis-kay Department Ctilcssd for
Publishing Information Withheld From Ssnat,

Washington, May 10.-Again yester-
sion the mysterious projectile with
which the navy department. has been
exDerimenting on armor plate.
The publication I'm the morning pa
pers OF the details of the secret ses-
sion held Tuesday In the course OF
which Ma Tillman of South Carolina
laid before the Senate information he
had received at the navy department
concerning the armor- piercing projec-
tile that had played such havoc with
the best armor tested at the govern
ment proving grounds at Indian Head.
convinced many senators OF the futility
of attempting by secret sessions TO
keep information from the public
However, wh.Ie Mr.. Tillman was ex-
planning 10 the Senate yesterday what
he desired to accomplish by the secret
session, another secret" session was
moved. the Senate preferring to hear
the senator's explain behind closed
doors.
After the galleries had been cleared
Mr.. Tillman reiterated substantially
the statement. concerning ghe Indian
Head tests of armor plate which he
made Tuesday. He pointed out the
effectiveness of the projectile tipped
with a poipT OF soft steel against the
armor tested, and used that fact as an
argument against the payment by the
government Of what he lermed monop-
olistic prices for armor. He dwelt upon
Il g.f hsass
armor yet. including the Krupp armor.
against the projectile. He arraigned
the navy department for making pub
lie. yesterday the details of a test of
armor with six-inch g-sss In which
one OF the "soft-noseo projectiles
pierced the plate almost as IL would
have pierced oak, declaring his belief
that the test had been made public for
the effect IL might have upon the SEN
ate debate on the pending bill.
Mr.. Chandler felt THAI the navy de-
partment had not dealt frankly with
a.e Senate in respect to the informa-
tion regarding the tests.
Mr.. Hoar discussed the subject brtkf-
ly deprecating rhe evi4ent inability OF
the Senate to keep its secrets, and crit
icIsing the navy department for pub
fishing information withheld from the
Senate.
After some brief discussion ft was de-
cided. inasmuch as the salient facts
had been published, that the armor
plate matter might as well be consid-
cred in open session. 1t was pointed
out that there really was no secret
about the soft-nosed projectile. as the
navy department. had been experiment
ing with the projectile for years. Later
in the day. a communication was sub
mitted to the Senate by Mr.. Hale from
the bureau of ordnance OF the navy
department. in which was described
minutely the effect OF the projectle in
question upon various kinds OF armor
1t was shown that the projectile. which
is solid steel shot. not she'll carry
ing no explosive charge. would pierce
the best of armor when the conditions
of the test were perfect in every par
ticular but only in ~roh cases.

steers ate 1,105 pounds of dry corn and
554 pounds of fodder to make 1OC
pounds of gain, and another lot having
corn soaked until it began to soften
gained 100 pounds on 938 pounds Of
corn and 512 pounds of fodder. Here
was saving of 167 pounds of corn and
~ pounds of fodder At another trial
with steers in pasture and hogs fol-
lowing them to eat the corn in the drop
pings, steers and swine gained 100
pounds on 791 pounds of dry corn,
while where corn was soaked for an
other lot they got the same gain from
752 pounds, saving of 80 pounds of
corn by soaking. In a test lately made
at the West Virginia Station with two
lots of pigs, one on soaked corn and
the other on corn meal wet to a mash,
3.S5 pounds of corn made as much gain
as 40 pounds of meal, or saving of
So pounds of meal to 10 pounds sf pork.
In a German experiment with sheep
those fed on dry corn made more gain
than those that had soaked corn. We
should expect it TO lie profitable to soak
corn for hogs or cattle, but not for
sheep or hens

their search has never revealed a sin
gle bee.
Now comes the most peculiar part of
this most peculiar tale. The large post
oak tree standing at the north end of
the grove is the curiosity of the bunch,
for not long ago young man hearing
of the bees went to the spot and pro
ceeded to look carefully up each tree in
the grove until he came to the north
oak He was within two feet of this tree
looking up when he heard noise just
like carpenter at work mailing on
boards and the noise seemed to come
from the tree. He went around 1t sew
eral times trying to locate the hammer
ing, but it still seemed to come from the
tree, the hammering continued until he
happened to touch the tree with his
hand, when it suddenly stopped. The
man then went away amazed. A day
or so after this man had occasion to
again pass that way. He slipped UP
to the tree and listened for the ham
mering, and sure enough, it was as
plain as ever. He touched the tree with
the end of his finger and as before the
noise stopped at once. This man and
several others have tried touching the
tree several times since with tie same
results
They say that the humming of bees
and the curious hammering can be
heard any day, but no one has been
able to explain the mysteries OF this en-
chalted Galveston News.

HandIiupC Corn sbocl,.

The report of the Kansas State Board
OF Agriculture says where hand labor
Is plenty the standard price for cutting
corn by hand IS Scents per shock, four
teen by fourteen hills square, without
board, or so cents per acre. as there are
sixteen shocks of this size per acre
Corn should always be cut on bright,
clear days, or on such day as is coed
TO cure hay in. Two men should work
together, and the shocks should be
started on jack, which is made by put
ting two legs, well braced together,
near one end of a 10-foot scantling, and
having an auger hole near the upper
end for broom handle. AS soon as
four armfuls are set up against the jack
the shock Should be loosely tried with
a stalk Gad the Jack removed. AS soon
as the shocks have thoroughly cured,
say two weeks after cutting, those that
are to be stored in the barn should be
baled under 6,O00 pounds pressure and
tied 'up with wire common hay-baling
wire, one wire will tie up two shocks).
and those that are to be fed from the
field can be pulled up tight with rope
and pulley and tied with binding Irvine;
the twine should be saturated with coal
oil to prevent mice and insects from
destroying it. Eminent professors have
agreed that it only takes one and half
inches of rainfall to wash all traces of
digestible matter out of a shock of al
falfa, and corn shocks are also affected,
but not to so great degree They have
also agreed that well-cured corn fodder,
put under a good roof without having
had any rain on it, is in every respect
just the same as ensilage, except the
water content, and it is only necessary
to cut it and add water to secure food
identical to ensilage without the cost
of silo, with its short life, and also
without the 20 to % per cent waste that
mold causes in the corners of the silo-

Value of Wet Land.

Don't worry because you have a wet
piece of land on your farm" says J. S.
Trigg, of Iowa. The chances are that
it is by all odds the most valuable tract
of land on the farm. Study how it may
be most economically and advantage
ously drained, and then tackle it, The
richest lands in Europe are the reclaim
ed farms wrested from the bottom OF
the North Sea in Holland. The redeem
ed peat boys of Minnesota give fields of
Inexhaustible fertility. The muskrat
,ogs of Iowa win grow eighty bushels
of corn 10 the acre when drained. The
wet lands of the Northwest, upon which
a settler would have starved TO death in
an early day, now ditched and reclaim
ed. are richer and more productive than
those of the historic delta of the Nile.
Give US bogs before gravel knobs. wet
fiats before limestone ridges. a black
gurnbo before a light loan.
wet lands are invariably good grass

Prairie Farmer.

The hog cholera problem is ever pres'
ent and it is not improbable the time
will come when this disease can be sue
cessfully treated or at least held within
bounds, says the Orange Judd Farmer
The so-called new treatment for hog
cholera, that of feeding the meat from
swine dying of cholera to healthy pigs,
Is the subject of the latest bulletin sent
out by the agriculture experiment sta
ton at Purdue University. Indiana.
The claim made was that feeding this
diseased flesh produced mild form of
the disease and pigs thus fed would
hereafter be free from cholera. This
theory was advanced several years ago
and caused considerable comment. Di-
rector Plumb, however, concludes the
method of treatment not entirely a sue
cess, according to the testimony at his
command. The experiment station does
not indorse this method of treatment
and distinctly so states. Hog cholera
IS a contagious disease, and when once
it secures a foothold in a herd. usually
runs its course, and after much fatality
becomes more or less extinct, especially
where serious attempts are made to
stamp out the disease. Thus far no
certain remedy. based on an extended
trial, has been brought out. The In
diana experiment station viii indorse
no hog cholera remedy now on the mar
ket, and the most we can recommend
is absolute cleanliness about the pig
yards and lots and the liberal use of
diSinfectants"

A Natural Conclusion

The Philadelphia Record prints an
amusing story of the late President
William H. Allen of Girard College and
a lady of more inquisitiveness than ilt'
telligence On one occasion business
matter called Mr.. Allen to a small town
in the central part of Pennsylvania.
While sitting in the parlor of the coun-
try hotel in the evening, after transact
ing his business, he was taken in hand
by the wife of the proprietor, who
wanted to know all about his private
affairs.
Mr.. Allen took it all in good part and
for time was rather amused. Finally
she asked:
Have you much of family?"
"Oh, yes" said he, and he smiled as
his mind reverted to his hundreds OF
pupils.

flowers in the aisle, and white ribbons
to put around the seats aid divide the
sheep and goats, and carriages, and a
reception and things to eat. County
Clerk Needham of ST. Joe has changed
all this. He says so on the cards which
he distributes to those contemplating
matrimony, On the cards he says: Il
attend to all the details. All you need
furnish is the bride" County Clerk
Needham says he prefers to have bride
grooms bring their own brides. Still,
if worst came to the worst, and if a
young man who wanted to get married
real bad should go straying around St
Joe without a bride, County Clerk
Needham would do the best he could
for him and would probably find him
one, although the County Clerk says
frankly that he will not guarantee the
temper or disposition of the brides he
is called upon to furnish, and that posi-
lively no brides will be taken back or
exchanged. County Clerk Needham
has made of st. Joe, Mich, Gretna
Green that makes the old original one
look a sort of faded yellow. At the
home of County Clerk Needham cou-
pie may go at almost any hour of The
day or night, receive a license to be
married, speak the fateful words, re-
ceive their certificates, and go out into
the world man and wife, '1for better
for worse" and the whole thing won't
take fifteen minutes.
On Sundays and holidays. when cou-
pies are expected, the fateful steps can
all be taken in less than three minutes,
for OH these days the County Clerk is
sitting at his desk with a stack of mar
riage license blanks foot high piled
in frOGt Of him, and his pen already
dripping with ink is poised over
the paper ready for the fatal dab. A

rHE DAYS GONE BY.

Q the days gone by! o the days gone by!
The apples in the orchard and the path
way in the rye;
The chirrup of the robin, and the whistle
of the quail,
AS he piped across the meadow sweet an
any nightingale;
When the bloom was ON the clover, and
the blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over-in
the days gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked feet
were tripped
BY the honeysuckle tangles where the
water lilies dipped,
And the ripples of the river Tipped the
moss along the brink,
Where the placid-eyed and lazyfooted
cattle came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless of
the truant's maynard cry,
And the splashing of the swimmer, in
the days gone by.
Q the days gone BY o the days gone by!
The music of the laughing lip, the luster
of the eye;
The childish faith in fairies and Alad-
din's magic ring
The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief in
everything.
For life was like story, holding neither
sob nor sigh
In the golden, olden glory of the days
gone by
James Whitcomb Riley.
