GAME LAWS OF THREE STATES
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
Ducks, the first game under the Penn
sylvania laws, came into season with the
first of the present month. and discussion
of the laws of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia is rife among the local
shooters. Squirrels in this State do not
come in until October Is now and the
game wardens are dealing out strict pun
ishment to those found hunting this
month. though ignorance of the change
which was in effect last year. is often
pleaded.
One of the best known shots of this
city was boasting in a local gun store
the other day of how he had eluded the
game wardens and got away with is
gray sq!rrels last week One of the
party he was talking to happened to be
a game warden and soon returned to the
scene with warrant. The arrested sport
modified his tale and admitted to but four
squirrels, which cost him $40 and costs.
The only changes this season are In
the Ohio State laws, and squirrels do not
come in until November 10, instead OF
July 4, as last year The game seasons
of the three States follow:

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

The reports from Berlin are that adj
ditional German troops are about 70
sail for China.
Russia's alleged disposition to with
draw has tailed out to the point where
''loca! conditions are to govern" and
Japan, England and the rest are evil
IDENTIFY preparing quietly for any even
tuality which may appear-this mean
ing the virtual dismemberment of the
big and ancient empire. Just what
America is going to do is still uncer-
tain, although Washington advices still
have an optimistic tenor, and there is
more or less talk of withdrawal, which
lacks definitenss as to date. Troops
are still going forward from this coun-
try to the Philippines, the latest orders
having been issued to three companies
of the Twenty-fifth infantry, and amid
the alleged diplomacy and international
shutting there is apparent indications
of mutual distrust.
Just what is going to happen is be-
You'd the ken of the average mortal,
but 1t is certain that China is TO De
made to pay, either in territory or
money, a stiff price for her crimes.
Russia alone is said to be prepared to
demand five hundred millions as com-
pensation. If that be true, Germany,
whose minister was killed, can hardly
demand less. England, France AMI
Japan have been put to very large ex-
pense, and the cost to the United States
will run far into the millions, to say
nothing of compensation for the muir
ders of missionaries and the destruc-
ton of churches. missions and Amell-
can interests generally. The grand to-
tai, upon the basis alleged to have
been set by Russia, may be as mucl;
as three thousand million dollars. CHI
ma, rich as it undoubtedly is, cannot
pay this vast sum Immediately, and
probably not in ten vars, and the al
tentative is the maintenance of foreign
troops in the country, at an increased
cost, or the subdivision of the Empire
in lieu of cash. If the latter plan is
resorted to, we must, in all probability,
forego our claim, or else do as the other
powers, and hold some port or territory
as security for it. That will mean, be-
sides troops, ships and cash, the pos
sibility of further trouble.
The outlook, from any point of view,
is not reassuring one. The best is
possible, but the worst is probable, if
not certain. The shortest way out of it
would appear to be to withdraw our
diplomatic representatives and our
troops to the coast, while insisting upon
equity in any settlemen the powers may
bring about. We went to China to
rescue our people, and that work was
we'll done. The conditions now call for
extreme caution, lest we become further
embroiled.

peas and usually three or four are found
in each pod. The pods are short and
stout, nearly black in color and covered
with coat of velvety hairs. The velvet
bean belongs to the same family as the
cowpea. 1t is a legume or leguminous
plant, and, like the cowpea, the velvet
bean is a renovating plant, having the
power to enrich the land on which it
grows.
In any comparison of velvet beans
with cowpeas as renovating crop,
there is one point in which velvet
beans are conspicuously superior.
When frost comes the vines and leaves
settle down together in such way
that the force of falling rain is broken
and the network of vines is so complete
that the leaves, the most valuable por-
ton, cannot be blown or washed away.
With cowpeas the case is somewhat diff
ferent, the bare stems standing erect
and affording no means of retaining the
leaves in place. On the other hand, bet
ter implements are required to turn I'M
der vines of the velvet beans than to
pillow under cowpea vines. It is not adj
visable to attempt to grow this bean in
the north.

A gorgeous work of art,
Where painters brush and poets pen
Contributed part.
"In all the stores" wrote Arabelle,

"And now, dear Pa, you need not have
Old almanacs around"
And Pa just held it gingerly
And gazed with timid awe,
Then placed it in the envelope
And tucked it in a drawer;
But when the rest had gone to bed.
He stole out by himself.
And took the musty almanacs
From off the kitchen shelf.
They covered all the stretch of years.
Back to Loves sweet springtide,
When to his humble home he brought
An angel to preside.
And each one chronicled a date
Which Time had not effaced;
A register of joy and pain
Upon the margin traced.
The births, the marriages, the deaths.
They followed, one by one
Dear little lives whose light went out
Ere they had scarce begun.
And on the last-all grief seemed small
This greater grief beside
Oh, saddest, loneliest day of all,
The day that Mother died!

Beside the chimney-place,
Still holding fast the almanac,
A smile upon his face.

In that Century far away,
Where a day is as a thousand years,

no expense in money, and the labor of
digging a trench can be done at ode
times when other work is not pressing,
On hundreds and hundreds of farms the,
stock is driven long distances to water
in stormy as well as pleasant weather,
and often with great discomfort to both
attendants and stock, when all the
while the water might be brought right
into the barn. If farmer could once
experience the satisfaction and profit
of having a supply of water thus at
hand and under cover, he would never
permit possible opportunity to secure
this convenience to go to waste. With
the water in the barn, moreover, there
is no longer need for the stock to drink
ice water for five months of the year.

STRAW AS FERTILIZER.
Taking All Kinds Into COnside ra ton
It's Value Can BE Placed at Two
Dollars a Ton.

The actual value of straw for the fer
tilizing elements in the straw itself
may be roughly estimated at about two
dollars per ton or a little more, taking
all the various straws into considera-
ton. Glover haulm, from which the
seed has been threshed and which has
lost it's leaves, must be reckoned con-
siderably higher, and we should say
at three times that amount, although
we have not reliable analysis at hand
on which to base our estimate. But
the Importance of using straw as bed
ding in the stables does not depend
upon the value of the straw as fer
tilizer, but first upon the value of a
warm, dry and comfortable bed for the
animals, a purpose which may be served
by other material, as sawdust or leaves,
and second upon its power of absorbing
liquids. Straw easily absorbs twice it's
own weight, and when that consists of
the liquid excrements of the animal,
it makes the soaked straw actually
more valuable than the solid droppings
of the animals. It saves and conveys
to the soil in form readily available
for plant food, all the nitrates, phos-
pilates and potash which are passed off
from the system in that way. It has
also mechanical effect in tightening
up heavy soil, making it porous, more
absorbent of moisture, more easily
penetrated by plant roots, and also by
frost and air, both of which have i'm
portant effects in working the chemical
changes there which make mineral
matters more readily available. We do
not think the haulm from clover or
other hay threshed for the seed makes
as good bedding as straw, and neither
does corn slower, but either of them
contain more fertilizing elements than
wheat or oat straw, and if cut in pieces
of an inch long they have nearly as
much absorbent power. It is mistake
to put either of these into the manure
without cutting them. because they
have not then opportunity to absorb
so much of the liquid, and because more
extra labor is necessary to handle the
manure with these long stalks in it
than would be required to reduce them
to inch-long pieces. The same thing
may be said of potato, tomato, squash
and other vines. If cut short they make
valuable additions to the manure heap,
but if put in uncut they are a nuisance.
