The American Automobile club in self defense is taking measures to put stop to excessive speed in automo- piles in order to safeguard public or der and public safety.
 Reports and denials of reports are being made that Sir Thomas Lipton will challenge for the America's cup again this season. If he comes he will be welcomed for he is honored here as a sportsman and gentleman.
 The Charleston exposition went the way of all others of recent years by being successful in every way but fi- nancially. A resolution has been in troduced in congress to appropriate $150,OO0 to make up the financial de- felt.
 The German government has asked this country to look out for the safety of her citizens on the isthmus of Pan anna during the disturbed conditions there. This is q compliment to the United States and tacit aequiescence in the Monroe doctrine
 The contracts for furnishing the meat to Indian agencies and schools. have just been let for the ensuing year. Very few went to the firms comprising the beef trust, lower prices having been bid by independent deal- CTS. The lowest price was $490 per 100 pounds.
 What will President Roosevelt do in the case of General Jake Smith (the hell-roarer), whose court martial record he now has before him at the White House? It is understood that the mill itary court acquitted General Smith of the charges of cruelty that were pre- ferred against him. Possibly the pres ldent can make some remarks on the case which will tend to show that smith was more verbally indiscreet than wilfully and wickedly wrong in his conduct.-Hartford Times.
 The Litcheld Enquirer names it's four naughty delegates. They are Messrs Vance, Guilfoile, Osborn and Davenport and it is Davenport who is the 'mischief-maker.' It is amusing to ind the Enquirer referring serious " to "a certain famous dinner in New Haven" Presumably this is meant to hit the temporary conversion of the Haddam delegate, who, however, did not stay converted very long. It has been explained dozen times that there was no dinner. As the sCourant un derstands it, that is all joke.-Hart- ford Courant.

BENEFITS YACHTING.

His yachting experience was o mncb benefit to Mir Bennett, as an 1n cident will show: :.
 "What's the news this evening! asked MT Bennett one evening drop ping into the city room.
 "A national liner has just arrived with the captain, crew and passen gers of L'Amerique- lost
 'sWhat are the circumstances! ht asked with animation.
 .The French boat became unman ageable; the engines broke down Captain Lanaria hoisted distress sig nals and when the British steamer came along abandoned his ship. Cap tain Queen of the British boat put a prize crew on board the derelict Then the Frenchman wanted to return to his ship and resume command, but the Britisher wouldn't let him. So Frenchy is hot mad, and swears he will have the Britishers commission taken from him.
 MT Bennett listened attentiyely, f. nally exclaiming:
 That's good! Now what do you say Did the Englishman do right in stop ping the Lamaria's return? Will he be s,stained?''
 The city editor took an even chance and boldly said:
 Captain Queen is undoubtedly right; the sea belongs to no man, and property once abandoned thereon goes to the fnder,'
 You are right" promptly added MT Bennett. s'I'll tell you how Iknow''-- and he told the following characteristic story:
 Il had a party of friends on the Dauntless. Becalmed off the Isle of Wight we drifted on a bar. Tide was at the ebb, and we stuck for several hours. Somebody suggested that we could kill snipe ashore, and, taking guns, we left the yacht in the cutter. l had steward who thought a great deal of me and wanted to do me a real service. He saw a tug coming up the Solent, called her, took line, and had my boat pulled off into deep water. The captain of the tug at once Hbelled the yacht for salvage, and the good in- tentions of my steward cost me E12OO. That's why know your opinion is correct. The Herald must stand by the Britisher, because. he is in the right. Tell LeYelin want him to say this sand he outlined the leading editorial for the next morning. Pear sons Magazine

General Miles is in for it once more. It is said that he has furnished the opponents of the administration with evidence on the Philippine question.

Speaking of the close of the Boer- British war one writer says that England
 is not so sure of the spoil she has gained at so great cost in blood and treasure. The Boers come of hardy and indomitable race that is tenacious of purpose. They have been overborne
 by superior numbers, but they do not feel that they are finally conquered by a nation whose armies they have so often outfought. Undoubtedly they will wait and watch for an opportunity to renew the struggle under more favor able auspices. Who knows but that in the womb of time there is another Ma juba Hill which willrestore to the Boers their lost independence The we'll known English author and journalist, W. G. Stead, in referring to the date on which the heroic struggle of the Boers came to end, reminds his countrymen that the time may not be far distant when England's flag will cease to float over South Africa. Here Is his note of warming: 1.-The act of surrender was signed upon the second anniversary of Lord Roberts entry into Johannes burg, but the. 31st of May recalls q much more memorable incident in British history. It was on the 31st of May that Jeanne D'Arc, the heroic Maid of ~Or1eans was b,1rnt aS q: witch by the English in the market place. of Rouen. That great historic crime was hailed at the time with en- thusiaStic delight as the one measure certain to secure permanent possession by the English of their French prov inces but within a few years the Eng fish didsnot hold an acre of French land excepting the seaport of Calais It would not be at all surprising if history were to repeat itself, and that the de struction of the independence of the Dutchrepublics may have as it's sequel in alshort period of years the declara ton of independence of the whole of South Africa. But the English will be lucky if they retain Sim0n's Bay as their ancestors succeeded for a cen tury iii retaining possession of Calais" The cost of the war. to Great Britain has been $1 ,25o,O ,O00, GOO; lives lost, Brit ish, 21 oo0; invalids sent home from South Africa disabled, 5,262; coninis

sEhe adaptability of the gasoline marine engine to special environments can be no better illustrated than by cit ing the conditions in Bocas del Toro, United States of Colombia" says writer in the Engineering Magazine. ..This town is surrounded by a num- Der of bays and lagoons which are lined with banana plantations. No fresh water is available except that which is caught on the roofs of the houses, and salt water being ruinous to steam boilers steam launch may be operated for only short time without being laid up for repairs. About eight years ago two gasoline engines were introduced, and they proved themselves that at present there are over forty gasoline launches employed as tug boats for towing banana lighters to central points where the fruit is trans ferred to ocean steamships. An enter prising planter secured an expert from one of the American factories and in- stalled a complete repair shop especial ly adapted to gasoline engines. These tugboats are employed going from plan tation to plantation gathering up the fruit, which. on account of it's perish able nature, must be transferred in the shortest possible time to the ships. There are at present thirty-five of one make of gasoline engine in use in this district. Tne gasoline is shipped to the tug owners in 210-gallon drums, and the small space occupied in transport is especially in it's favor as a fuel since there is no coal obtainable in the mar ket and all of it must be shipped from the United States

JSzktSEEs|eK.D


Prof. G. w. Burkett of the New
Hampshire experiment station mas
been conducting some experiments In
the feeding OF horses. The investi-
CATION included the amount OF water
consumed, the cost of feeding and the
method Of feeding. The trials extend
ed over two years. The amount OF
water consumed was recorded In all
the tests. Both the ration consumed
and the amount Of work performed
influence the quantity of water drunk
by workhorses, although the individ-
uality of the horse has the most
marked effect. In the present inves-
tigation the quantity of water varied
from 1886 pounds to 32,997 pounds
per year. Following are the princi-
pal conclusions drawn by the author:
Any food stuff or combination OF
foodstuffs furnishing the desirable
nutriment at least cost should be con
sidered in preparing rations for
horses.
A mixture of bran and corn, half
and half, is good substitute for corn
and oats for feeding work horses.
Corn stover is a good substitute for
timothy hay for winter feeding OF
horses because of its feeding value
the yield per acre, and commercial
value.
A change from a grain mixture
consisting PARTIALLY of linseed-oil
meal, slowlg or abruptly, does moi
cause decrease in weight in horses
If proper substitute ration is fed.
The average cost per year for act
ual food supply per horse was $74,32
The average cost for feed pei
hours work done during two years
was "a cents.

Protect Orchard Soil.

In a discussion on orcharding H.
Aug slime said: noticed particularly
in the Missouri state meeting that
there is a general feeling that the
soil is being injured by exposure to
the hot sun during the summer
am talking now of an orchard that is
not covered all over and shaded all
over They think that the soil is be-
ing injured by the constant exposure
from year to year to the hot season,
especially in central Illinois, where
we have this black soil, where the
suns rays are terrible, and over in
Missouri they feel that they must do
something occasionally once in two or
three years at least they must seed it
down to clover or something else, to
prevent the bare ground being exposed
to the action of the hot sun. and that
has been my impression. l do not
believe in leaving the weeds to grow
and ripen, but the weeds are naturally
there, and sometimes you can't get
stand Of clover or anything else, SO
as to have the ground protected for
year, but If you have the weeds
and NOW them just as soon as they
get to be of some size and keep on at
that, you are obtaining mulch to
retain the moisture, great deal more
than it evaporates, in my way OF
thinking.

Benefit Of GRINDING Grain.

Twenty head of young grade calves
were purchased by the Kansas Expert
ment station during April and May,
1901. The feed of these calves was
gradually changed to skim milk, with
what grain they would eat, composed
of mixture of whole and ground
Kaffir corn. On June 10, these calves
were divided into two lots. as nearly
equal as possible, the lot to receive
ground Kafhr corn weighing 1870
pounds, or 157 pounds per calf, and the
one to receive whole Kaffir corn
weighed 1877 pounds, or 1877 pounds
per head Each lot was fed all the
skim milk, grain and hay the calves
would eat without securing.
Ground Kaffir Corn Lot.-For the
112 days under experiment, these ten
calves consumed 14.74S pounds OF
skim milk, 1894 pounds of ground
Kaffir corn, 1881 pounds of prairie
hay, 1926 pounds orchard grass hay
and 6,222 pounds alfalfa hay. The to-
tai gipin of the lot during the expert
ment was 1880 pounds, or 1.41 pounds
daily per calf. With skim milk at IL
cents per hundred weight. grain at sc
cents per hundred weight (plus 8 cents
per bushel or cents per hundred
weight for grinding), and hay at s.
per ton. the feed cost of raising these
calves amounts to $47.S7, or $4.7S pei
head. The cost per hundred pounds
OF gain is as follows: Skim milk, $1.4O;
grain, $0.49; roughness, $1.10; total
