Baron Hermann, agricultural expert
of the German embassy, accompanied
by Count Puckler, who is extensively
engaged in scientific farming in Ger
many, has been making a tour Of the
large chicken producing establishments
Of the country, says the Washington
Star. Count Puckler is one of the

been connected with the emperor's
household and later withdrawing to his
extensive estates in Silesia to expert
ment on various lines of farm industry.

The visit to the United States was
with a view to seeing If the extensive
methods Of Matching, natural and arti-
fetal. could be adopted in Germany.
where each farmer has a few chickens,
but there Is no enormous production
for the large cities such as is carried
on in the United States. The large
chicken farms and hatcheries in New
York state and Pennsylvania were Wis
ited. Count Puckler was much i'm
pressed with the American system and
with the fine development Of certain
lines of fowls, including the White
Wyandotte and the Plymouth Rock.
He took back with him q considerable
number Of American fowls and will re
turn in the spring to further pursue his
Inquiries. His experiments In raising
chickens on an extensive scale will be
watched with much interest in Ger
many, and if It proves to be a success
it promises to bring about an extensive
export Of American chickens to Ger
many.

CUBA'S GREAT FUTURE.
Wolfe Harrfsoa ON the Stands To-
bacc0 Outlook.

bacc0 Outlook.
Wolfe Harrison, prominently identi-
fed with the tobacco industry in New
York city, who has just returned from
Cuba, at the Hotel Imperial talked
about conditions on that island. says
the New York Tribune. Mr.. Harrison
says that the smoker in the United
States is in luck. 1.-THE finest growth
Of tobacco comes to the United States
now" declared Mr.. Harrison, zane the
cuttings go to Europe. The war blight
ed the tobacco industry in Cuba as it
did almost every other agricultural pur-
suit. Tobacco farmers lost their CAPT
tai, which consisted mainly of sheds,
oxen, fertilizers and their implements.
1t has been almost impossible for them
to replace these, which are absolutely
essential to the industry. The plan In
b past has been for them to borrow
money upon the growing crop in d
to enable them to prepare for the next
one: so the destruction of their farm
buildings and machinery and teams
was a crushing blow. Conditions, how
ever, are slowly improving. Money
from the United States is going into
tIc ISAauO LII TIE way VI lufcSIulcuI-
The farmers were not all wiped out by
the war, and the crop Of 1901, which
was planted in September and will be
cut late in January, will be equal to
that raised in 1894. There will be less
Of 1t, however.
'"There are great chances for expan-
sion Of the industry in Cuba. Desira-
bic land for the growing Of tobacco is
plentiful and cheap. When the farm
ers get into such condition that they
can borrow money, there will be a big
Increase, and prices, which AVE been
stiff, will probably come down some.
The decrease will not be much, howev-
er, because the markets of the world
can absorb it all easily and maintain
fair prices. One of the things that are
going to help this and other agricul-
tural industries In Cubs Is the expan-
sion of transportation lines. Steam and
electrical roads are being projected,
and when these lines tap the country
districts the material can quickly and
cheaply be brought to the distributing
centers. At present nearly all hauling
Is done with oxen, and freight rates on
railroads are excessively high. Cuba
has a great future, and its growth
once conditions become settled and
capital Is safe will be marvellous"

Another consumption Cure.

! Or. William West, a young osteopatn
of C~enterville, Ia, near Des Molnes'
announced at the state meeting OF os-
teopaths a new method for curing tu-
bereuIosis, says the New York Sum-
lie said he had tested it on ten pa
tets, and all had recovered. The es-
aence of the treatment consists in vi
braio of the spleen, releasing the
pba gocytes that prey on bacteria. Os-
teogathic treatment to strengthen the
alimentary canal and lungs is also
used, and patients are put on speclal
1iet and kept in good air and light.

The TrOtting Record.

The performance of Cresceus at Columbus
yesterday in reducing his own record for
a trotted mile beyond the point scored at
Cleveland a week previous is the more re-
markable because of the conditions under
which the horse worked. A stiff wind was
blowing down the home stretch so that the
racer faced it both at the start and at the
finish. in the latter case when his strength
was well-nigh exhausted by his wonderful
speed. Had there been no wind 1t is be-
leyed that Cresceus would have reached
2.02 at least. AS 1t is the record has been
reduced half q second by this one per-
formance, the same reduction having been
accomplished by Cresceus a week ago. 1t
is noteworthy that 1t Is rather the rule
than otherwise for a record trotter in the
past few years to better it's own work at
least once before another animal wrests
the honors from it. Maud S. scored mile
in 2:1024 in 1880 and knocked off half Sec
ond in 1881 Jay-Eye-See brought the rec
ord down to 2:10 in 1854 and the next year
was swept out Of the ranks Of record tr0t-
ters by Maud s., with 2.O924. Then came
the surprising reduction to 2,0SA the next
year by the same horse and this record
stood until 1892 when Nancy Hanks clip
ped off a second from the best performance
of her wonderful sister of the turf Mean
while Sunol had equaled Maud SIS best
mile in 1891. Nancy Hanks did not wait
for another season to smash the record
herself. but lowered her limit twice during
1892. to 2:0512 and to 2,04. Probably never
again viii the trotting record be so dis
turbed in single season. 1T having gone
down Az seconds in that year. Two years
later Alix scored 2:04 and the same season
lowered this by II second. Then came The
Abbott in 1900 with 2:08a. to equal Alix,
and later the same year with half a second
better. The Abbott Is still record possi-
bility, although he did not show up as well
this spring as his trainer expected and he
has been withdrawn from several races In
consequence 1t is to be hoped that he will
round into shape in season for a trial this
year either against Cresceus directly, as
now arranged for the 18th of this month, or
against time, in an effort to better Cres-
ceus great record.

Those Islands of Ours.
From the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
While the anti-expansionists are still
bowling about the evil effects upon the
Filipinos of the American policy with re-
spect to the islands word comes from an
official source that the income to the
latter for the first year under their new
tariff will be not less than ten million dol
lars. For the next year 1t Is expected
that the revenues will be still greater.
With the judicious expenditure Of these
amounts there will soon be different
story to tell. 1t is the serious purpose of
this administration to do everything In it's
power to improve the social and financial
conditions of the islands themselves. The
methods which already have been en-
ployed with such gratifying success in
portions of Cuba and Porto Rico are al
ready in vogue in the larger towns and are
accomplishing wonders in the sanitary line.
