ANYTHING TO FOOL THE FARMER.

1t is rather amusing to read in the
daily press, on about the same date,
that the house Of representatives had
passed the oleomargarine bill, de-
manded by the National Dairymen's
association, and, turning to another
paaer, find a slug-headed article tel
ling that the cases in New York state
against Armour and other packers for
violating the oleOmsrgarine law had
been dropped through the influence
OF Senator Plat, whose son was attOr-
ney for the Armour packing company.
Anything to fool the farmer
New York is a great dairy state, and
the dairymen Of that state secured
the passage Of 2 very stringent anti
o leOmargarine law with heavy fines
and penalties The ArmOurs aud 9th
er packers ignored it, and, under the
direction Of the governor, suit was
brought in the courts to collect the
penalties due the state, which against
the ArmOurs alone amounted to sI75,-
600, and others about $4,000. When
the governor came up for renomina-
ton SeatOr Plat had him sidetracked
and retired to private life. Now, from
the press report it appears the suits
are dropped, in the state where Teddy
is governor and Tom is boss.
If the law nov before congress
should pass the senate, which is very
doubtful, it will avail nothing. 1t will
either be a dead letter on the statute
book, or declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court. The law provides
for a revenue tax on the manufacture
Of oleomargarine that IS practically
prOhibitive. As likely as any way the
law is In the interest Of a creamery or
butter trust, and, if there were no such
combine, it would not take long to
form one. New Jersey is not far of.
The farmer need not fatter himself
that ne Will be benefited by the law.
II there is anything in it the trusts
will find way to turn it to their ad-
vantage and the farmer will be no bet
ter of than before, and the laboring
man when he opens that 'full dinner
pail, not being able to buy high priced
butter, will miss the "OleO." The
American likes to be humbugged and
is willing to pay for it. The Republican
statesman is now busily engaged pro
tecting the farmer. It's buncombe-
anything TO fool the farmer.

THE new Army BILL.

The Jefferson County Journal Of
Fairbury, Neb., commenting on the
new army bill, and calling attention to
the fact that it doubles the size Of the
regular army, and provides that the
president can increase it from about
$1,000 to 10000 men at VIII; and that
this was predicted by democrats and
pOpulists before election, has the fol
lowing on the subject:
according to this bill, the number
Of general officers viii be increased
from 9 to p. The number Of inspector
generals viii be increased from II to
.. The number Of medical men viii
be increased from 18S to 81. The
number Of chaplains viii be increased
from 80 to 81, and so on
This latter is likely to make pro-
vision for some Of those Methodist
bishops who accepted money to make
speeches for Mckinley, and, who as
serted that they would rather 60 to
hell than have Bryan elected (The
Journal asks pardon for using such
harsh language, but we learned it from
Bishop Fowler, of the Methodist
church. It is rapidly becoming fash
iOnable for bishops to sWear.)
"When the conscience Of the Meth
Odist church, becomes aroused, some Of
these pIutOcratic, boot-Iicking, profane
bishops may be forced to resign. If
they do, they can probably find a soft
berth as army chaplains under the
new law.
"AII Of theses officers viii draw fat
salaries which viii be paid out Of the
public treasury. The people viii be
taxed to keep the treasury full and if
any taxpayer growls, especially any
taxpayer who voted for Mckinley, let
him remember we told you So"

THE OUININE TREE.
How 1t Is Cultivated and How the Bark
Is Gathered and Prepared for
the Markets. /"
Outlook.

The quinine plantations, or quinales
as they are called, which have been
started in this country by the Ger
mans, are usually found on rough and
broken mountain sides and at an alti-
tude Of 1900 or 1000 feet above the
sea. The trees will grow as high up as
5000 feet, but they flourish best at an
altitude Of about 1000, for they require
a great deal of sun, rain and wind, to
reach perfection.
Most of the groves have been raised
from the seed, which is gathered in
the early summer months and planted
in hOthouses. When the plants are
about six inches high they are trans
planted upon the hillsides, which have
been cleared of underbrush and plOw-
ed up beforehand, so that the young
roots can secure the benefit of all the
moisture and plant food in the soil and
the heat of the sun. For shelter they
are partially Gov red with twigs, straw
or other light stuff, which also serves
to keep the moisture and heat in the
ground After about two years this
shelter is raked of, the plants are care
fully inspected and those which are
not promising are replaced by new
ones. The ground around them is
kept clear of weeds and the young
trees are carefully trimmed twice a
year. In five or six years the tree will
have reached u or IA feet and its
trunk will be straight and slender,
with a diameter Of about six inches
It resembles the orange tree in size
and shape and the peculiar gloss of its
leaves.
Two or three times a year, three or
four strips of bark about two inches
wide and from two to eight feet long
are cut from the trunk and thrown
upon paved yard to dry, where as the
moisture evspOrates they curl up like
cinnamon. Within a year or so nature
replaces the bark that has thus been
stripped of and the tree is stripped
again in other places. As it grows
older smaller strips can be taken from
the stronger branches, and a mature
tree will produce an annual average Of
about four pounds Of bark.
The bark dries in a few days and is
packed for shipment in rawhide bales.
This is the cinchOna bark OEcommerce
from which quinine is procured. The
most Of it is shipped from africa and
