At the cabinet meeting Friday, follow

cided to send back to the constitutional
convention at Havana the constitution

the United States cannot accept II in its

In their acceptance Of the Plat amend
ment the Cubans add an appendix, In
which they presume to set forth the In

Fodder Corn.

The farmer who does not plan to
have a field of corn fodder to use this
summer for his mich cows will de.
serve no pity if he finds his milk sup
ply so short next summer that it will
not sell for enough to pay what 1t
costs him for feed. The excess of rain
during the first four months of this year
may be taken as a good indication of
a drought later ON, and the crop is so
easily and cheaply grown, so valuable
if needed for feeding green, and SO
Easily kept for winter use if not fed in
the summer that there seems no excuse
for failing to produce it. There are
other forage crops that have been high
~ recommended, but we think the corn
crop is as well adapted to New Eng
land as any, and almost any one knows
the soil and care it needs. We would
put in one field in May and follow with
others up to the middle of July to give
continuous feeding when needed-New

Old Melou Sect.

An English gardener tells that hav-
ing noticed that plants from old seed
produced a less succuleRt growth than
did those from young seed for -four
years he raised his melon plants from
old seed. always growing a few plants
from new seed. He says: Il then fer
tilted the female flowers of the older
plants with the pollen of the younger.
which plants were invariably the more
robust. The resulting fruits were
more reliable in good quality. aud
though the female flowers had been
small the fruits were large. weighing
from three pounds 10 seven pounds. "
This experience seems TO strengthen
the existing idea that old melon seed
is more satisfactory than new.

The cranberry Firewnrm,

The larvae of Rhopobota vacciniana,
or cranberry fireworm, cause consider
able damage to the cranberry crop of
Massachusetts. The larvae of the first
brood seldom cause much injury, while
those of the second brood are often ex
ceedingly destructive Where the cram
berry boys can be flooded with water
at the proper season for destroying the
larvae, this method is very effective,
but in mahe cases il is impossible to
use water in this way. Experiments
were tried with arsenate of lead, which
was used as spray at the rate of 8
pounds to $50 gallons Of water The
first application was made in he early
part of June. The second brood of
caterpillars appeared during the first
part of July, and second application
was made. the insecticlde being used at
the rate of 1872 pounds to $50 gallons of
water. Nearly all the larvae were de-
stroyed, and great saving In the cram
berry crop was the result of this meth
cd. 1t was found that three men with
a good outfit could spray eight acres
of cranberry bog in ten hours.

An almost unparalleled attempt of cap

that constable was shot dead, one Of
the criminals badly wounded. and two Of

burglars recently extradited from Chicago
were being taken from court to jail. The
men were Frank Rutledge. Fred Rice and
Frank Jones. who were on trial for a rob

There were four in the band originally,

Early Garden Yegetab1es.

There was time when the gardener
who had his produce ready for the
market earlier than his less enter
prising neighbor was well repaid for
his care and trouble by better prices
for the products. Then the early bird
caught the wealthy consumer. Now
the carry worm in the Northern States
finds lis profits if not himself picked
up by those in a Southern climate, who
can plant, grow and put on the mar
ket crop before the pillow can pene-
trate the frozen soil of the Northern
States. We are inclined to think the
chance for profit to-day, for market
gardeners here, is in growing such
crops as will not mature until South
ern produce no longer fills our mar
kets. and perhaps in putting that in
cold storage that it may not be brought
out until there are indications that it
is much wanted by those who are will
ing to pay liberal prices for it. Let
early crops pass by, and strive to grow
crops of such quality as will suit even
those who have been using the earlier
products of the South, which are not
improved by long transportation

Creamery Rntter.

1t is reported that in the vicinity of
some of the best creameries in the but
termaking sections 1t Is difficult TO OBJ
tain a package of really good cream

city dealers who may have bought II

places it all in the hands OF certain
dealers, and even those who place their
milk in cooperative creameries are not
able to obtain good butter for home
use. This is but mistake. for those
which have good repctatlon could
easily have certain number of pounds

ANXIETY FOR MRS. M'KiNLEY.
Condition of tie Wife of the President
Is again Serious.


Mrs. Mcninley's condition Is rot 80
favorable as many az her friends hoped II
would be,ome meia -iy upon her re
turn to Washington. Or the contrary,
now that she is comfortably settled in her
home at the White House, II seems to be
quite evident that the attack from which
she suffered in California has left her
in n condition which would be extremely
critical for one WHO is not possessed OF
her marvellous reecperative powers.
There is no crisis, but on the other
hand, the Illness is extremely serious, and
there ia fear that while the crisis was
passed in California. it has left the pa
tent SO enfeebled that she seems entire
ly unable TO rally. Those who are in and
out OF the sick room realize the fact that
the wife OF the President has undergone
so great strain that a collapse may
come at almost any momept. She has
rested a great deal since she returned to
Washington.
There is not the slightest attempt at
the White House to deceive any one ms
10 the gravity of the situation. AT the
same time the statement is made officially
that there is no necessity for the spread
of alarming reports.
There Is no truth in the report that
there was anything like a crisis Thursday
night, or that members Of the family
were tele sraphed for. On the contrary.
the distinctly unfayorabe feature Of the
case is the fact that there is so slight

proyement In her condition is by no means
impossible, but 1t does not now appear 10

ed himself of deliberately classifying his
marriage vows and that his self-styled
defense was an exploitation of his views
upon the marriage question, which are
'abhorrent to enlightened Christian sen
timent."
Next to the verdict, the most interesting
feature of the trial was a lengthy com
munieation from Heron accepting in adj
vance the decision Of the council. In this
letter he sought to justify on theoretical
grounds the rectitude Of his conduct. He
announced that henceforth his efforts
would be devoted 10 1.-THE Sociaiistic
revolution" The letter iaveighed against
the conyentionalities which trammcl
mems actions to-day, and declared that
the writer's life was one of truth and
honesty as against the slavish supersti-
tions which guided the course of his ac-
cusers.
Ii was proved to the satisfaction of
the council that Mrs. Heron did not in
itiate the divorce proceedings. Tortured
by years of fragrant and studied neglect,
herself and her children daily insulted By
the patronage and presence Of the woman
who had led Heron away from his fam
lly, the patent WIFE, YET hoping iHhi hef
supreme devotion and unfaltering loyalty
would win him back, refused TO resort to
the divorce courts. Woman teachers at
Grinneil College who were classmates OF
Mary Eberhart in the old days at Ripon,
Wis, when George Heron. then stu
dent. wooed and won her, told the council
that the divorce proceedings, while tech
uically coming from the wife, were
prompted, urged and even forced by Prof.
Heron.
Heron was not in the city. He had
been granted the option OF naming a fair
proportion of the members Of the council
but he refused to take any advantage OF
the opportunity In fact, he signitied his
entire willingness to have the trial eS-
parte.

Evidently there is q better chance for
profit BOW in growing young stock
either for the dairy or for beef than at
any time in the past ten years and
p''rnaps in the last twenty years. But
we have the statistics Tor the past ten
years as sent out by the Agricultural
Department at Washington. In 1890
there were in the United States 36S40,-
024 cattle. In 1895, 34,364,2l6. Since
that time there has been steady de-
crease Of about two million head per
year. until in 1899 there were but D.
eT4,225. In 1890 there We're $50 cattle
to each one thousand inhabitants, and
In 1899 only 1913 TO each thousand. As
the number has decreased the price has
increased. The reports of the Kansas
City stock yards show the following
prices for prime steers on Aug. 10 for
three years: In 1897. $3.50 per hundred
pounds, 1898 same date $5.25, and in
1899 $500 1t is said that there are not

and at the close of the war had but

Pasture for Hogs,

Pasturage is necessary to the success
full raising of hogs. Not only is green
feed the best. and almost indispensable
for growing swine. but the exercise re-
quired in grazing is just rs important
The cheapest feed for hogs is that
grown by the owner and harvested by
the stock. In the Southwest there is
no lack of forage plants for every
month in the year, and hence pork can
be produced at less cost than else
where. When this is not done, it is
not the fault Of the country nor Of the
hogs. but is the result of bad manage
ment on the part of the hog raiser

About Cows,

The Farm Journal says that +. COW

will produce only $50 worth Of butter,
while one that will produce 5000
pounds Of per cent milk will produce
500 worth of butter and her calf is
worth three times as much as that of
the first. There will be little difference
in the cost of keeping the two cows,
so that where the first gives a profit Of
$50 the latter will net the owner 500.
If we count the first cows calf at $40
