was supported by Messrs. Portlock, Kee-
zell, Kendall and others. while Chair

other members defended the committee
report in a very able manner. The
amendment was adopted by large ma
iority, and on motion of Mr. Moore, OF
Fairfax, the entire section was stricken
out.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The State Depart

confirming the reported uprising in the
Singing district. The dispatch follows:
Canton, October 2.

This dispatch taken in connection with
previous advices the department has had
from Minister Conger, leads to the be-
lief that the Boxers have had nothing to
do with the present outbreak, but that
it is local disturbance growing out of
famine conditions which the Chinese
Government can suppress.

LARGE POLICIES rAxsN OUT.
Prominent Men WHO Fave Insured ia the

Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer.)
New York. Oct. 2.-The tendency of
business men to protect their estate by
policies of life insurance is becoming as
general as to protect their buildings by
policies of fire insurance. Since Mr..
Geo. w. Vanderbilt, of New York, and
Mr.. Frank H. Peavey, of Minneapolis.
each took policies for $1,000,000 Zone
million) dollars a few years since in the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York, there has been no equally large
sum written on one individual, these re-
main the record figures for the world
But policies of $4,000 and 100000 and
even $4,000 are SO frequent as to cause
little comment and even when Mr.. Sidney
A. Witherbee, of Detroit, took $500, 900
in five per cent gold bond insurance from
the Mutual Life early in this year it
passed almost as a matter of course. 1t
is significant that when business mans
estate is settled these days, his insur-
ance is generally found to be very i'm
portant part of it, often all there is of
1t. Life insurance in one of the great
companies yields a good rate of interest
as an investment apart from the protec-
tion it affords.

FARMERS NATIONAL CONGRESS.
Harvie Jordan Reads Paper on Advantages
Of the Nicaragua Canal.
(By the Associated Press. ]

(By the Associated Press
Sioux ais, s. D., Oct. 2.-Harvie Jor
dan, of Georgia, president of the South
ern Interstate Cotton Growers Associa
tion, read a paper on THE Nicaragua
Canal; It's Importance to Farmers of the
South and West" at the morning session
of the Farmers National Congress-
He declared that the canal was a
great national necessity and that while
the South ard West would get q large
share of benefit, the East would also
profit. He declared that the trans CON
tinental railroads were bringing heavy
pressure to bear on Congress to defeat
the canal legislation and the producing
classes ought to make a counter DEM
onstration. He said the railroads were
short-sighted in opposing the canal, as
the increased business which would come
to them from an expansion of trade would
more than Offset traffic loses to the canal
or resulting from decreased rates
The speaker referred to President Nc
Kinley's Buffalo speech, pIedging the Adj
ministration to support the project and
expressed the belief that President Roose-
welt would carry out that policy He be-
lieved the canal would pay interest on
its cost and operating expenses and a
good income in addition, with seventy
cents per ton less toll than charged
by the Suez Canal Discussion developed
the fact that the congress was practically
united in favoring the canal and it is
likely that strong resolutions in it's favor
will be adopted.

should be done as soon as the growth
young fruit well, or it may be done
Just after the blossoms have fallen.
In the first place, every cluster
that is small or imperfect or part
tendril should be taken off. Again,
many varieties will put out three or
four clusters from the same bud, in
addition to these imperfect ones, and
one or two of these perfect clusters
should be cut off. AS general rule,
two perfect clusters are enough to
be lett on one cane or bud, for, as IS
well known, the fruit is borne near
the base of the new canes that have
put out, each from IA bud formed on
the last seasons canes, half or more
of which previous years growth
was, or should have been, cut OFT in
the Fall or Spring pruning. This
leaves two clusters on each new
cane, sometimes three, but two are
enough, except for the very strong,
vigorous-growing sorts. This pre-
vents overlooking of the vine, and
the fruit allowed to remain becomes
finer, and the strength of the vines
to bear future crops Is not impaired.
Less fruit, but of better quality,
is the result when the pruning is
properly done in good season.

Orchard and Garden.

The well-kept, well-fed orchard is
not a failure.
In nearly all cases level cultiva ton
is best in the orchard.
Cultivate the peach orchard in the
same manner as the corn.
Wood ashes will suffice for young
trees; no manure is needed.
Good tillage increases the available
supply of plant food in the soil.
Good drainage, natural or artificial,
is essential to the best success.
An apple or cherry tree is much
more valuable if it shoots low.
Nitrogen can be supplied to fruit
trees by blowing under clover or
cow pease.
Late planting OF trees will do very
well if the trees are well watered
when set out.
If grapevine sets too much fruit
thinning in good season should al.
ways be done.
Cultivation, fertilization and
spraying will save many a run
down orchard.
The family orchard, unlike the
commercial orchard, wants good
many varieties.
Moss and hchens on the trees work
injury by furnishing hiding place
for insect pests.
About the only fruit trees that are
admissible in the garden are dwarf
pears or apples.
In the garden. as in the field, Level
cultivation will nearly always give
the best results.
| Gladiolus bulbs should be planted
{ in full sunshine four or FIVE inches
deep and about foot apart.
Summer pruning of raspberrie,
and blackberries consists in pinch
! ing back the ends of the canes.

Water for Live Stock In Summer.

Give the farm animals only pure
water to drink and you will strike
at disease a harder blow than can be
given in any other way. There are
few things more favorable to the
production of germs of disease than
to compel animals to drink water
containing decaying organic matter
the impure water that so many
animals will be compelled to drink
from ponds, pools and springs dur
ing the next few months.
Many germs of disease may be car
ried long distances by these streams
and introduced into the systems of
the animals that drink OF the water.
Impure is often also indirectly
responsible for disease among farm
animals, as it necessarily must re-
duce the thrift and vigor of the ami
NAL, making it an easier prey to
disease.
The water in the great majority
of ponds is apt to stagnate and con-
tain matter that putrefies beneath
the sun, and it cannot be other than
unhealthy for the animals to drink.
While stream, fed by a rocky
spring, is apt to afford pure drink
ing water near its source, it may
easily be contaminated farther
down, as the surface drainage cannot
be kept from such stream, and it
may easily bear contagion, as decay
ing organic matter, so that one can
not be certain at any time that the
water Is not unwholesome.
For these reasons, wells, sunk deep
to underground streams, carefully
walled, and fully protected from
surface water, should be the main
dependence for stock water, especial
ly during the Summer.
With a windmill and pump outfit
and system of pipes and tanks,
pure, fresh water for all the stock
may be conveniently supplied, and
the health and thrift of the stock in
creased thereby.

dry powder.
Don't think it "A waste of labor to
give the orchard attention before it
comes into bearing. During the
years of growth the most care is
needed.
When the trees are badly affected
with bark lice, there is, perhaps, no
better remedy than to wash their
trunks with strong solution of
tobacco water.
Low-headed trees, will bear some
what sooner than high-headed ones,
for they sooner reach the proper
height of trunk and the heads are
sooner developed.
When the peach tree is not prun-
ed long, slender branches form and
these produce fruit mainly at the
outer ends. The tree will carry
more fruit if properly pruned.
The head of a tree needs to be
fairly open to admit sun and air for
full-grown protection of fruit. A
moderately low head is also desir-
able, inasmuch az it favors economi-
cal gathering of the fruit.
The surest plan of getting rid OF
the tent caterpillar is to cut off every
affected branch or twig and burn it.
1T taken in hand az soon as they
show their work on the trees they
may easily be destroyed.
