ticularly adapted to the pear, for in

The Tension With Turkey.
(By the Associated Press..)

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Aug. 19.-It is admitted at
the State Department that there is a re-
newal of the tension between the United
States and Turkey. but the officials do
not deem it prudent to disclose the
present condition of affairs. They say,
however, that the condition is in no way
grave, but is of that strained character
which has occurred from time to time
with Turkey in recent years. 1t is
gathered that the present tention grows
out of the long pending claims of Ameri-
cans who suffered loss during the Armen-
ian outbreak. To some extent the Stone
abduction gave added cause for irritation.
The American Minister, Mr.. Leishman,
has been given wide latitude to deal
with the situation as circumstances may
demand. There is the fullest confidence
on the part of the authorities here in
the course being pursued by our minis
ter, and as he has been given such a
free hand in directing affairs, it is not
thought desirable to prejudice any steps
he may be taking by official comments
as to what has been or will be done.

TEACHING BY EXAMPLE.

One of the best ideas brought out at
DR.. Voorhees,, of the New Jersey Station.
We have talked and written much on
the same line. There are those who as
sumo that the sole bushes of the Elk
pertinent Stations is the work of investi-
CATION for the discovery of new facts
This is all WELL and should never be
neglected. But it is often overlooked
that the law organizing the Stations en-
Joins the dissemination of information
among the farmers. OF course this IS
largely done through the bulletins pub
lished and distributed. But great deal
of information can be derived by the
farmers visiting the Stations to see what
is doing there. Many of the expert
ments for investigation do not appeal d.
rectly to them. A farmer comes to the
Station with the notion that it is model
farm, and seeing the work being done
he does not grasp the purport OF much
of it, and fails to realize that an Expert
ment Station, in the very nature OF
things, cannot be a model farm. DR.
the recent meeting in Washington of the
American Association of Farmers In
stitute Workers, was that suggested by
Voorhees, suggested that in addition to
the purely experimental work, the sta
lions should do some real business-llke
farming and market gardening on scale
of sufficient magnitude to fully illus
trate how such work should be done on
a business like scale and at profit.
An area devoted to such work could be
SO managed as not only not to increase
the expenses of the State, but to actual
Nv make it profitable For if not profit
able and economical it's value would be
entirely lost In other words, the sta
lions should teach the farmers and gar
deners of their States the most economi-
cal and successful way to run farm
or a market garden as a profitable thing,
and then get them to come and see Tor
themselves how it is done, and show
them the books and returns to prove
the profit of real practical as well as
scientific work in which the results OBJ
tanned in the Investigations of the sta-
ton are applied to the every day max
ing of living out of the soil. OF course
this means that the station officers shall
be practical farmers and gardeners as
we'll as scientific investigators, and IL
will give the farmers greater confidence
in the men who are working for them,
and will disseminate information better
| than by the bulletins from little plats.
Object lessons will always teach far
more than books, valuable as the books
NAV be.

Notes for the Farm.

CW f. Massey, in Practical Farmer)
There has been a great deal of talk
lately in regard to the teaching OF agrl-
culture and horticulture in the rural
schools. Doubtless great good could be
accomplished in this way if there were
teachers qualified for the work. But the
so-called normal schools turn out too
many drilled automata and do little in
the real teaching of nature. Ii the
country school teachers could all be
given a short course in agriculture and
horticulture at the State Colleges OF
Agriculture, we might after awhile have
men and women prepared to take up
the work in an elementary way in the
rural schools. But as the short courses
at these colleges mostly come in the
winter months, when the teachers are en-
ployed, there arises a need for summer
schools for this purpose. These might
be made a strong force in the progress
of nature teaching. With teachers IN
Unused for the work, there would soon
come some application of what they
have learned, in the planting and beauti-
flying of the school grounds. There is
nothing like the actual work in planting
trees ana mowers ana CARING loI Ihenl "
make children fond of nature and her
products, and there is nothing better
calculated to drive the young people
from the farm than the comfortless and
ugly schools houses and their i'll kept
surroundings. Getting the young people
interested in plant life will then be apt
to draw them to the Farmers Institutes
and the Institutes will never accomplish
what they should in the education OF
the farmer till they catch him young
enough.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Interest in the
-Bartholin- Mitchell murder mystery today
'centers about the inquest which may de-
termine the cause OF the death of Minnie
Mitchell.
Four of the Mitchell family, father
brother, sister and sister-in law of the
missing girl, testified that they could not
make a positive Identification of the body
lying in the weeds on the prairie at 74th
street and believed to be that of Minnie
Mitchell. The only Identification they
could make was that part of the clothing
found near the boldly belonged to Miss
Mitchell
The coroner's physician, Springer
stated positively that he did not believe
abe body to be that of Miss Mitchell, be-
cause of the advanced stage of decom-
position. When the body was found Miss
Mitchell had been missing but eight days
and DIR. Springer claimed that it would
be impossible for her body to have de-
composed as much as the one discovered
on the prairie.
The inquest was continued until to-
morrow morning.

TO MOBILIZE AT FORT RILEY.
Mixed lewiston Of Regulars and State Troops
to Manoeuvre There,
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Aug. 20.-An order was
issued at the War Department today d.
recting the mobilization of a mixed di-
vision of regulars and militia on the
large reservation at Fort Riley, Kansas.
The governors of all the States were in
vited to send contingent of the various
State forces to participate in these ma
noeuvers, but very few of the states
found themselves able to participate.
Arkansas will send one battalion Of in
fantry, Kansas two regiments of infan-
try and two batteries OF field artillery,
and Nebraska two regiments of infantry.
A number of governors of States have
signified their intention to send officers
to witness these manouevers.
1t is expected that President Roosevelt
will review the troops participating III
the manouevers. but the date of The re-
view has not been determined definitely.
The regular contingent of the division
will go into camp at Fort Riley Septem-
Der Goth and will be followed by the State
organizations September 18th. 1t is in
tended to continue joint manouevers for
a period of ten days after the division is
organized.
The benefits to be derived from bring
ing together regiments, hrigades and di-
visions is so apparent that the War De-
partment has fully determined upon this
policy for the future.

the company franchise for both local

local exchange would be put in in two
years from the date the franchise was
granted, and with the further proviso
that the, long distance exchange should
be put in within ninety days. This does
