Ithaca, N. Y. Jan. 27.-Presidnt Schur-
man has made 2. statement explana-
tory Of his recent Boston Speech in which
he advocated the eventual independence
Of the people Of the Philippines. The
substance of the speech was that II the
people Of Luzcn and Visaya wanted in
dependence and showed themselves ca
pable of assuming it, this country would
eventually give it to them.
President Schurman said to-day that
he believed the policy he advocated would
more than anything else. promote the
welfare of the Filipinos President Roose-
welt, he said had declared in his message
to congress that we were to do for the
Filipinos far more than any other nation
had ever done for a tropical people, and
that we were to fit them for self-govern-
lnent after the manner Of really free
races. He said he stood with President
Roosevelt in his policy, and was against
that advocated by Gen. Wheaton. which
would n,ean colonial servitude like that
of Java and India.

Great Falls, Mont, Jan. United
States Senator Paris Gihsc n, in response
to query as to his sentiments on the
question Of the railroad merger, has
made the following reply:
"As am not lawyer, I will venture
no opinion as to TIE legal rights of the
Northern SECURITIES company. What we
IN Montana wish to know is the effect
that this control of stock will have upon
our state 1t seems to me improbable
that under this railway merger the in
dustries of the Northwes. will be in
any manner crippled. I cannot see
where harmony OF railway interests
would be detrimental to us. On the
contrary it is my belief that, more than
ever before, it would be the desire of
the railway companies to build Up the
farming, mining and manufacturing in
dustries of our state.
Progressive Rate Reductions.
THE railway companies doing bust.
ness In Montana are taking more live
~ interest than ever before in the set
Element of the state, and in the subject
of national aid to irrigation. which is
the real foundation for our future pros
perity.
For many years past the Great
Northern Railway company has reduced
it's Western freight tariffs from time to
time. clearly on the theory that such
reduction would tend to the upbuilding
OF the country, and, consequently to
Increase it's freight tonnage. 1t is SIM
ply absurd to contend that the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Bur-
lington companies would use great eff
forts to establish farm colonies and
manufacturing interests along their
lines and then impose rate on grain
and manufactured products that would
destroy or cripple the farms and the
mills. We should not forget that it IS
for the interest of these railways that
Montana should have more people,
more farms more productive mines and
more cattle and sheep than it has ever
had before"

KEEP II TO TIL EFRONT.
Friends Of the Philippine Bill Will
Not Let 1t Drag.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The senate will
devote it's principal attention 'thig week
to the Philippine tariff bill. It is the pur-
pose of Senator Lodge, who is in charge
OF the bill. to persistently keep it before
the senate until it is disposed of. He
does not count on final action for some
time. 1t is not the present purpose OF
the friends of the bill to debate 1t, but
the attacks which will be made on it and
upon the entire administration of Phil
ippine affairs inevitably will bring re-
plies from many of the Republican sena-
tors.
Senator Nelson will take advantage Of
every chance to have the bill creating a
department of commerce considered with
the hope of securing action upon it dur
ing the week if possible.

STATE DAIRY AFFAIRS.

The officers of the State Dairymen's
Association met at Auburn last week
for the purpose of taking preliminary
steps towards holding the annual dairy
conference provided for under the act OF
the lastlegiSlature. There were present
at the meeting Pres. Rutillus Alden and
See. L.W. Dyer of the association, also
Commissioner Gilman of the department
of agriculture, and several dairymen
interested in the work of the association.
Much enthusiasm was manifested by all
hands present over our dairy interests,
and a determination manifested to spare
no effort to make this, the first meeting
of the kind under the management ot
this association, model in its way and
in every respect representative of our
extensive and still rapidly growing dairy
industry. Commissioner Gilman pledg-
ed every effort in his power, under the
law, in aid of the occasion and IN the
promotion of the business. The best
talent available in the country will be
secured for speakers. A liberal schedule
of premiums will be offered for samples
of dairy products in all forms.
Manufacturers of supplies and appara-
tus are invited to avail themselves OF
the opportunity that will be afforded to
show their goods, and also to aid in
awakening interest and enthusiasm in
the occasion BY such prizes as may best
serve the purpose in hand.
The conference will be held in De
cember at such date as will best convene
the interest involved. The place of the
meeting was not decided upon. The
prevailing sentiment seemed to be 10
hold it at that point where the liveliest
interest in it's aims and purposes was
manifested, and therefore where the
largest number of members of the AS
sociation might be enrolled as co-labor-
ers in promoting and building up the
dairy industry of the state. Any city
or town in the state desiring the meeting
should communicate promptly with Sec.
l.. W. Dyer, Cumberland Center. 1t is
the determination of the members to
make this representative dairy con-
ference in every respect and one showing
clearly the great advance being made in
this line of agricultural research.-Maine

CLOVER AND SOIL EXHAUSTION.

Some writer's are inclined to make
much of the fact that clover when grown
with much frequency on land takes much
phosphoric acid and potash out of it, and
that because of this good deal of eau
ton should be used as to the frequency
with which it is grown. 1t may be OBJ
served just here that much depends on
what is done with the clover. 1t does
draw mineral matter out of the soil, but
it also draws it out of the subsOil. And
when it does, and the manure made from
feeding the clover is put back on the
same land, the result may be to increase
rather than decrease the amount of
mineral matter in the cultivable portion
of the soil. In other words, it may be
thus made to enrich rather than impov-
erish the soil in its possessions of phos-
phoric acid and potash. True, it takes
some of this matter out of the subsoil
and deposits it where other crops can
get at it and use it, but there is usually
a large supply left. There is fortunately
a goodly supply of mineral matter in
nearly all soils. Much of it may be in
an inert form. 1t unlOcks very gradually
and is not easily lost. On the other
hand nitrogen is easily lost, but the air
has a limitless supply and the clover
can draw on it from this source to keep
up the supply in the soil. The growing
of clover ON land, therefore, at short in
tervals, is not likely to deplete fertility
in the soil in any marked degree, for
many years unless the clover is con-
tinuously sold from off the land

have in my minds eye a certain man
who is living example of what study
and care will do for the dairyman. This
man was going along with few cows
of common stock, like the most of his
neighbOrs. He made ends meet, but
that was about all he did do. One day
he made up his mind that life was too
short and time too valuable to be spent
in slipshod way. Then he turned
over new leaf, and he turned it clear
over. too. He sold every cow he had
and began to build up dairy. His
choice happened to fall on the Jerseys.
At first he went miles away from home
to get calf from first class stock. If
he heard of good COW of the breed he
fancied he went and bought her, no
matter if he did have to pay good
round sum. This he kept up year after
year, until now he stands at the head of
his profession in the section where he
lives. Now men go to him for stock.
His cows two years ago brought him in
$50 each for the season. l have not
heard the figures since. Now, what is
the reason the rest of us cannot do just
as well?

BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
rhe Dramatic Experience of Two
Antarctic Explorers.

Mr.. c.. L. Borchgrevink, commander
of the antarctic expedition Of 1898,
nearly lost his life by an accident OF
nature so peculiar that it is probable
no other man could duplicate the ex-
perience At the foot of Mount Terror
in February, 1900, he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men. Then, wishing to take
picture of the shore, he sent his boat
back to the vessel TO get camera, and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach. Before the boat
returned strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story In the outlook:
A roar and rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach. The
thought came to us that the perpendic-
ular rocks above US were falling. Then
we realized what was taking place.
The mighty glacier Immediately to the
west of us was giving birth to an ice
berg.

the ocean We could see nothing be-
yond an immense cloud of rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge

wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and first
stood the rock was wet twenty feet
above our heads. 1t was somewhat
lower when it struck us. Where the
wave had struck with full force the
face of the rock had been altered, and
rocks were still falling when the three
men in the boat found us, bleeding and
torn.
Two facts had saved us. To our right

Pastures will soon begin to fail. 1t is a
fact that we cannot depend on them to
keep our cows as they should be kept
more than two or three months Of the year
nowadays. The hot days of August
almost invariably shorten the feed up so
that there is a marked falling of in the
Weld of milk unless we resort to sOiling.
Oats and peas come first on the list.
With them should be given ration OF
corn meal. The greener the feed given
the COW, the more essential it is to hard
en- the ration by the addition of some
hearty grain like meal. Soon sweet corn
must follow. And If the mistake has not
been made of planting the corn too thick
in the row, SO that there will be no ears
on the stalks, there will be a decided in
crease in the milk flow and the quality
will also be improved. Thick-sown
corn is not worth much more as a feed
for milch cows than 30 much water.
That is about all there Is in 1t.
