portant business was transacted. The

bility of a change in the scale for the
coming season. 1t was finally resolved
that the scale in force last year was
satisfactory, and hence no change will
be made. The MARSHALL boycott
was discussed, but no action was taken.

be able to keep on paying premiums
awhile longer. The gist of the advice
is to avoid exposure, keep out of
draughts and fight cold from start to
finish. "The grave is still very hun

ancc companies would like to save n

philosophy of prevention is to preserve
the natural and healthy action of the

Occasionally we see statements from
some one that the peach yellows is not
at all II contagious disease, and that
there Is nothing gained by removing
trees In which 1t has appeared. Some
State Legislatures have enacted laws
making such destruction of trees conf
pulsory on their owners, while in other
States there has been so much opposi-
ton to such laws that they could not
be passed. The best authorities are
agreed, so far us We have seen, that It
Is contagious. We remember that a
few years ago, Mr.. J. II. Hale, the
largest peach grower in Connecticut
and in Georgia, said to the Massachu-
sets Board of Agriculture that In 1890
lie found one affected tree in an or.
chard and lie rooted 1t out. The next
year he had to take out the four trees
next to where it stood, and the next
year he had about forty to take out.
Possibly If he had taken the affected
tree and four next to it, as soon as
found, 1t might not have. spread to the
other forty. If II shows on one tree,
there are many chances that 1t has
reached others near that one, though II
may not have reached stage where II
can be detected even by close observa.

Imperfect Hum Blosso ms.

Fruit growers have met with diff.
Guilty In the successful cultivation OF
the native plum in the fact that some
varieties arc self-sterile; that is, they
do not fertilize themselves. Isolated
trees and large orchards of Wild Goose
and Miner have proved shy bearers.
while when planted intermingled with
other varieties blooming at the same
time and furnishing an abundance of
pollen they have borne many crops.
Hence it is important to determine the
most suitable list Of varieties for an
orchard SO us to insure the most perfect
pollenation of all the blossoms. New
man is considered good pollenizer for
Wild Goose, while De Solo, Wolf, and
Forest Garden are regarded as good
fertilizers for Miner. Isolated trees of
the self-sterile varieties may be made
fruitful by top grating some of the
limbs with Auitable varieties, or by
planting trees of these sorts adjacent.
Mixed planting of self-fertile and I'm.
portant varieties in hedge-like rows or
in alternate rows is now advocated and
practiced by our best growers. Some
growers prefer to confine their choice
Of varieties to those that are self-sterile.

A fine illustration Of successive polyg-
amy as practiced under the forms of
law in this country was given in a
Chicago court. A man who had con-
tracted bigamous marriage was d.
vorced from his first Wife and the in
dictment against him was quashed on
condition that he would pay No. GER
tain alimony and remarry No. with
out delay. Perhaps as settlement Of
what appeared to be bad job for nil

principle be applied to other offenses?

Built Up Brisk Trade in Offspring of

Evidences of prosperity exhibited by
one of the colored employees of the
White House. best known as George.
have made him the envy of his asso-
ciates. He recently appeared in new
suit of "store clothes"
When they saw him bring a little
kitten into the White House the other
day, says correspondent of the To-

little pet over to fashionably attircd
lady who was riding in trap the Sc
cret came out.
Not long since the official White
House cat gave birth to twelve kittens
an even dozen and no more The old
cat and her family We're in Georges
keeping. When the event became
known in official and social circles there
was q great demand for kittens born
beneath the roof of the executive man
sion.
Learning that George was their keep.
er, society girls sought him out and
each wanted the prettiest one in the
lot. Each was promised the 'prctticst'
one. When dozen customers had hecp
supplied the demand WAS as great rs
ever.
AS some of the kittens had brought
as high as S. each, George could not
think Of retiring from the cat business
He went among his friends in South
Washington and discovered other kit
tens. They were just as pretty as the
Willie House ones and passed readily
for the genuine article. When n Gus

would take one of the South Washing

and from there deliver it to the fair
orc. II may never be known how MANY
kittens are being tenderly cared for

LAST TRACE OF THE MISSION

Monument In China Outside the Gate
of SinEaufu.
Here is picture of the Oldest Chris.
tian monument in China. 1t dates from
the eighth century. Few Americans
probably are aware that missionaries
penetrated China MS long ago as that.
This is the HISTORIAN tablet or Syro.
Chinese monument which stands one
mile outside the gate of Singaufu in
Shensi. The story it tells is that of the
fortunes of the HISTORIAN mission in
China between the years 636 and TS1.
1t sets forth that the dogmas of Chris.
tianity record the history of Christian
effort In China and adds sort of metri.
cal thanksgiving to God and to the en-
perors who favored the Christian cause
All trace of the mission has vanished
except only this monument, says the
New York World. 1t was unearthed in
1923 and copies of Its inscription were
sent to various capitols of Europe, ex.
citing great interest at the time, and
nowhere more than In London. Two
lines of Syriac run down the left and

1t has required S4,576,66S.7O to run
the State of Iowa in the last two years,
The summary was made in the office of
the Auditor of State from the warrants
which have been drawn upon the State
treasury during the biennial period. OF
this amount, Slo7,375 was drawn from
the special university building fund, anI
the remainder, $4,519, 293.70, is taken
from the general revenue fund of the
State. 1t represents the entire amount
thar has been drawn from the State
treasury for State purposes. The greater
part of this has been used for the sup
port of State institutions and for the
special State Agri ultural College fund.
In the biennial report of the State Au-
ditor, which will be issued this fall, it
will he shown from what funds the war
rants have been drawn, SO giving an item
lied account of the four million dollar
expenditure. The amount required 70:
State purposes for the biennial period
ending June 30, 1899, was $4,19i, 494 90.
The expenditures for the period which
has Just closed have been larger than for
any preceding period, the increase being
attendant upon the growth of the State.
For the next period still larger appropria-
tons will be asked for the general sup
port fund of the State institutions. The
expenditures from the general revenue
fund show steady increase with the
growth of the State institutions.

Indigestion In Horses.

there is considerable green food of a
succulent nature, as most root crops
are. When indigestion is caused by
improper water, it is usually the case
that the water is foul In some way,
although very hard water often pro-

Too Hospitable.

How to stop the Indians of the Soutl,
Dakota reservations from eating each
others food Is an amusing but perplex-
ing problem with which the Indian Blu.
reau is now dealing. 1t is an unwritten
law Of Indian hospitality that guest
may stay as long as he likes, and that
as long as the guest remains the host
must provide the food. 1t has become
the custom among the Sioux, who have
a feast with their two-week ration as
soon as they receive it from the Gov.
eminent, to go to the more provident
Indians and live on them until all their
food is gone.
