Attorney W. j. Lambert
Confers With Admins
traitor of Estate.
LEASE EXPIRES JANUARY 81
Should Price Be Reasonable the Wash
ington American League Club Will
Move Its Quarters-Not Likely That
There Will Be Interference.

Mr.. W. J. Lambert. the attorney for
the Washington Baseball Club, yester-
day had conference with Howe Totten
administrator of the estate of Enoch
Totten. regarding the leasing of the old
National League Park on Seventh
Street. Mr.. Lambert on behalf of the
American League submitted an offer for
the grounds, but no conclusion was
reached. Nothing definite will be known
until Mr.. Totten has time TO consider
the offer made by Mr.. Lambert.
The latter stated that the report that
an option had been given to him or
any other person representing the
Washington Ball Club or the American
League had no foundation.
The local club would be glad to Sc
cure possession of the grounds. but it
would not give an exorbitant figure for
them. Mr.. Totten assured Mr. Lambert
that he had given no one an option on
the grounds. and said he would let
the attorney have an answer some time
next week.
To Consult Relatives.
Mr.. Totten left the city yesterday to
join his relatives in Maryland, where
ne will consult with them regarding the
offer made by the Washington Club Tor
the park.
The negotiations for the leasing OF
the baseball park have been going on
for six or eight months, and when the
president of the American League was
in Washington a few weeks ago Mr.
Lambert was instructed to renew his
efforts to secure a lease on the grounds
If 1t could be had at reasonable fig
ure.
The lease of the National League will
expire on January 81, and so far the
Totten estate has had no overtures
from that body for a renewal
No Interference.
Mr.. Lambert stated that Il the grounds
were secured by the American League
there would likely be no interference
on the part of the Freedman's Hospital
authorities, and that the cutting
through of Fifth Street would in no way
mar the grounds.
While IL is possible that the American
League will secure control of the
grounds ard the Washington Baseball
Club play ball there next season. 1t is
by no means settled. Unless the
grounds can be had al a reasonable fig
Ure the American League will not pur-
sue their efforts to get hold of the park.

The Farm Horse.

Mr.. W. j. Overton, Of Illinois, writes
to the Breeders Gazette, that he does
not believe the place for the draft
horse is on American farms. He has
raised some of the largest and best
draft horses in the county, and sold
them at the yards at figures not
reached by any other draft horse in
six months, but he never could get
the work out Of them that he could
get out Of good-sized American horse
with as much Morgan blood as he
could get. When they tried to breed
their small or medium sized mares to
the draft horses they thought they
wanted larger horses. They got them
larger in some parts. 1t might be in
the legs, the head or the body, but
usually not all in one colt. No one
will claim that they have as good
wearing breed Of horses as they had
twenty years ago. 1.-THE farmer who
only raises colts for his own use, with
now and then one to sell, had better
stay by the good-sized, smooth, Amer
ican-bred horse" he says.

One-Sided Reciprocity,

To illustrate one-sided reciprocity,
let us name Canada. Canada wants
free access to our markets, and in re-
turn will cheerfully give us free access
to hers. Canada has 100000 people;
the United States has SO000,00O. Her
people can buy Of us, provided Great
Britain does not demand her trade, one
sixteenth Of what we would naturally
buy of her. Though her soil is Ameri-
can and she controls a great deal of the
North American continent, the wages
paid by her for labor are 20 to so per
cent lower than in the United States.
She would, of course, fill our markets
with cheap goods to compete with bet
ter paid American labor. Such a con-
dition would undoubtedly help Cana
dian immigration of which there has
been practically none for half a CEN
fury. 1t is better for the United States
to attract this immigration to her own
States and territories, where, despite
the fact that we have sixteen times as
many people as Canada on smaller
area, there is yet room, with only a
small fraction Of our magnificent re-
sources developed.-New Haven Pal

DESTROYING Foul Brood.

At the annual meeting of the Ontario
Beekeepers' Association at Woodstock,
Ont, Professor Harrison Of the Onta-
rio Agricultural College at Guelph, de-
scribed a new and simple method of
destroying the germs Of foul brood. He
placed combs containing larvae dead
from this disease, capped cells OF
brood, and cells of honey, in box
which was alright except for small
hole at top and bottom. Then sm$ll
alcohol lamp was arranged with the
reservoir at the top containing forma-
lin. and connected by rubber tube
with the bottom of the box. This Goa
yeys to the box the formalin vapor
produced by the heat Of the lamp.
When the box is SO completely filled
with formalin that the gas issues free
~ from the hole in the top, both holes
are tightly closed for one hour. Pro
lessor Harrison has been unable to CD
tain any signs of life from foul-brood
germs treated in this apparatus.

Bone Meal for Cows.

Dairymen are looking into the ques-
ton of feeding their cows bone meal
as part of the daily ration, in order
to supply lime and bone making ma
terial. This same question is also in
teresting those who raise hogs in large
numbers. At this time few conclusive
experiments are on record, hence the
only advice that can be given is to try
the plan with both COWS and hogs that
are fed largely on a corn ration, and
note the results. There is little doubt
but what results will be beneficial for
stock that consume considerable succu-
lent food, but the we'll balanced grain
ration ought to give the desired results
with COWS without resorting to the
bone meal experiment. AS rule, there
is too much feeding of bulk during the
winter and not enough variety in the
ration, and farmers will not get all
there is out of feeding until they work
out for themselves one or more bal
anced rations for their herds.

Farmers Letter Box.

since the government has begun to
establish free delivery in the rural dis
trlcts 1t is obligatory upon each far
mer to provide a convenient and safe
repository for the mail matter, or the
carrier cannot be compelled to ac-
commodate him. The letter box re-
Gently designed by Edison w. Phillips,
OF Cassadaga, N. Y, and shown In
the picture, has number of advan-
tages to recommend its use in this SER
vice, the principal improvement being
signal to indicate both to the farmer
and carrier If there Is anything in the
box. This Is accomplished by setting
the bright-colored metallic flag in a
raised position. The mast which car
ries the flag is pivoted on the side Of
the box and has short finger lying
parallel with the mast When the
mail matter is to be inserted in the

the case, the pruning should be placed
among the winter jobs. The writer was
much averse to winter pruning up to
hve years ago, but has since practiced
1t with the best results. Three years
ago the trees in young orchard were
pruned in January, when it was neees-
sary to jostle the snow off of the limbs
in order to see where to use the knife
to advantage. The following crop, the
first one, was good; and two very large
crops have followed. This plan Of win
ter pruning gives one all the time in
the spring to devote to work that can
not be done at any other season.

the proposed reciprocal arrangement
with Cuba. Members of the Ways and

changed their attitude from that of
opposition to one Of acquiescence. This
is as it should be. That portion of the

Agricultural Exports.

Our agricultural interests, which
have had the intelligent fostering Of
the Bureau of Agriculture, show the
results, not only in greater production
and better quality, but in the unprece-
dented increase in the foreign demand,
as shown by the bureaus report on
foreign markets. Some of the con-
trasting figures in our export trade be-
tween 1870 and 1899 are as follows:
Indian corn, $1,OOO,OOO, against $7O-
100000; wheat -four, $20,00O,000,

The Defeat of Cantri11.

The defeat of Judge Cantriil, who
was an aspirant for the United States
Senate before the Kentucky Legisla-
tive caucus, by the emphatic vote of
60 to 81, does not Indicate that his
travesty Of justice in the trials of the
men accused of knowledge of the muir
der of Mr.. Goebel has met with that
unbounded approval of the Democratic
party which expresses itself in promo
ton to higher position. 1t is probable
that the Democratic party is not so
proud of Judge CantrilPs judicial an
tics that it wishes to have him pointed
at in Washington as the best expo
nent of Kentucky justice. -Indianapo-

Cuban Tariff Reduction.

Judging from Washington reports,
the sentiment in Congress is fast crys-
tallizing in favor of % per cent re-
duction of duty on all products of
Cuba imported into this country.
There is no reason why it should not
be done, since no interest in the
United States will suffer by such re-
duction, while the concessions made
the United States by Cuba will give
US the valuable and growing markets
of the island-Indiana State Journal.

Mr.. Hoard's main contention is that
the patron is in the rear. The cream
erylren and the creameries are reason
ably up to date, but the patron has
not progressed. He is in the rear, and
so long as this is the case no satisfac-
tory progress can be made, for no
creamery can prosper without milk
from prosperous patrons, and they caH-
not prosper if the milk pays little or
no profit.

Preparing Charcoal for Hens.

1t is a good plan to always have some

as there is nothing that can be fed to
hens that has the effect which char
coal has in preventing disease. You
can feed them charred corn once a
week which will take the place OF
charcoal You can char it by putting
the corn, ear and all, in the oven and
leaving it there until it has burned
black, after which the fowls will glad

Reciprocal Reciprocity.
Reciprocal reciprocity, that which
shall help, but not hurt. domestic indus
try appears to be the opinion and
desire of the majority of the members
of the national reciprocity convention
at Washington. Many of them would
like treaty that would reduce the
tariff on the products of other indus
tries, and thereby gain increased sale
for their products in foreign countries,
but all of them are opposed to reduc-
ton of the tariff on their own prod
ucts, just as was expected before the
reciprocity convention assembled. The
present prospect Is that the free trad
ers will be defeated in their efforts for
reciprocal treaties that will enable the
American trusts to sell their goods
still cheaper in foreign lands! That Is
about all that can be gained by recip-
r0cal treaties on products that will
compete with American labor, and it
can be safely said that every such
treaty will be injurious to American la
Dor and business, because all such
would create doubt and diStrust as to
the future, and doubt and distrust
have always injured American labor
onH hl1Si Innac+ A
citizen desires to see all the trusts de-
stroyed that sell their goods at higher
than competitive prices, but they can
not be eXterminated by reciprocal
treaties, nor by free trade. The Amer
lean people have the power to crush all
such trusts by refusing to purchase
their products, and every trust of that
character will be annihilated within a
few months or years.
Reciprocity that will reciprocate on
noncompeting products will be salts
factory to all the people of this ma
ton, and there are sufficient products
of that character to enable all the free
trade the American people desire. The
protective tariff has made the United
States the greatest nation on the earth,
in all great and good respects, within
less than forty years. No other nation
in all the history Of the earth can make
anything like the showing of progress
and wealth made by the United States
since the Morrill, tariff was enacted in
1861, for since that tariff became the
principal law of the nation the United
States has made greater progress than
all the remainder of the world COM
bined. 1t was that tariff that con-
WINGED the world that steel rails can
be made in the United States, and it
was the same principle of the McKin-
ley tariff that convinced even the free
traders of this country that tin plate
can be made in America So it has
been with the many thousands of arti-
cles now fully supplying the markets
Of this country and seeking increased
sale in foreign lands through reciprocal
trade in the products of others.-Des
