BOSTON, Jan. 1S.-Rt. Rev. Charles II.
Brent. d. D., who has very recently been
consecrated Episcopal Bishop of the
Philippines, is the first bishop the Episco-
pal Church has ever had in the Philip
pines; and, in fact, the first colonial bish-
op to be sent to these islands by any
church of the Protestant faith.
In an interview with correspondent
for The Times this week regarding his
plans for his new diocese, Bishop Brent
spoke at some length. He said:
Confidence of Church Aid
Before l accepted the office | wrote
a strong letter to some of the bishops in
which l stated that the church would be
plunging into colossal folly unless it
made some adequate provision for the
Philippines. l was on the point of re-
fusing the bishopric when this idea came
to me:
- Can't you trust the church in which
you have spent all your life? Do you be-
lieve that she would toss one of her sons
into the midst of foreign land, where
in all probability his life will be short,
without making proper provision for his
work and supplying him with the neces-
sary tools?'
When this thought came to me l felt
that could trust the church. | began my
career in the episcopate with only this
confidence that the church would help
me-"
Asks for 100000.
Il have asked for an enowment of $780,
900 from the whole church for clerical
supply in the Philippines. Some people,
when they learned this, raised their eye
brows. a missionary Bishop, they said.
should be glad to be Bishop and should
go and do his work without asking for
endowments.'
Our church traditions, as regards mis-
sioEary work, are thoroughly bad. 1t is
the shame of the church that its board
of missions is in such poverty. But
trust the church and believe that l am
going to get that 100000.
To Erect Temple I'm Manila.
at is my desire to erect temple OF
worship in Manila worthy of His wor-
ship. We want to build dignified church,
made attractive by art and music. and l
am asking for an additional $4,000 for
this purpose. While We have lot upon

Citizenship Versus Policy.
The white population is large now, and
I deem it Of paramount Importance that
they should be properly shephered. Many
young American men, who are cut off
from home traditions, have gone to the
Philippines in the hope of establishing a
career. The policy of the United States
Government in the Philippines won't do
half so much to settle the great prob
lens as will the behavior of the Ameri-
can citizens there.
Men have already offered themselves
in large numbers, in larger numbers than
| can hope TO take out with me now But
they are only waiting for me to say the
word. We shall presently have a work
ing force of Bishop, three clergy, and

INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
PRESIDENT OF A NE1 SOCIETY.
Pnn-Trenic Association Establtshed I'd
by Former Head of the Local
TheOsOphist Oreanaxntion-
To Continue His Work,

The inaugural message" of the presi-
dent of the newly organized Pan Irenic
Association of Washington, Major James
Albert Clark, has just been made public.
It's Issuance marks the beginning of
the greater work in larger field" to
which Major Clark made reference when
he resigned the presidency of the Bla-
vatsky branch of the Theosophical So
ciety of America, last November.
Formation of the Society,
The Pan-Irenic Association was formed
December &c last at the Cumberland,
Thomas Circle. Major Clark was chosen
president, and Mr.. R.C. Richmond record
ing secretary.
Three members can form a branch In
any community, and until such nucleus
is formed any person may become a mem
ber- at large
The members of the association will
conform to rigid lines of procedure. NO
propaganda of any particular doctrine
shall be permitted" the message says,
but all persons may be heard
Each student is expected to exercise
his judgment freely on the topics treated,
and TO form his own unbiased conclusions,
remembering always that truth is the
heritage of all, but opinion is merely in
divdual property. 1t is the duty of sci
ertific research to change opinion into
truth, doubt into certainty"
Scope of the Message.
Major Clark includes in his message
dozens of quotations from the great sci
entists, and says that he Pau-Irenian
method holds that science is as sacred
as any knowledge attainable by man for
his perfection.
An interesting part of the message is
entitled Our irenicon-the world wide
yoicing of the Golden Rule" Thi, ex-
presses the latter formula in ten differ
ent professions Of faith of all the CEN
tures.
Major Clark, quoting from the Sanscrit,
says: There is no limit to the knowing
Of the self that knows" He declares
that advancing the teachings of his So
ciety is not wanton disturbance Of faith.
and explains the points of contact with
Oriental thought. He declares that the
new association welcomes kindred or
ganizations, and that his labors as a
lecturer and teacher will be given gratu
itously, as heretofore.

Cuban Tobacco rro.rect..

On account of the very dry weather
during November and December the
tobacco crop in Pinar del Rio Province
will give yield below the average:
in some localities Of the province.
where timely showers fell, the crop is
very good, and a considerable amount
of leaf of a good quality was cut dur
ing the last few days of December; but
over large areas, and especially in the
hill region of the province, where the
dry weather was long continued. the
prospects for even fair yield are dis
couraging. In the localities of western
Havana with irrigating facilities the
crop is In a very satisfactory condi-
ton. but elsewhere the Injurious ef-
fects of dry weather are very marked.
In extreme eastern Santa Clara Prov
ince the rainfall has been fairly abund-
ant and very good yield of tobacco is
anticipated; in the other tobacco sec
tons of that province an urgent need
of rain existed throughout December.

Cold storage Hons.s.

The cold storage warehouse Is q
thing that the farmer can well consid-
er. BY 1t he can save not only vast
quantities of vegetables that now go to
waste but he can save losses in the
sale price by being able to carry his
produce over the time when there is
congestion of farm produce in the
markets. Hitherto the farmer has re-
lied very largely on his cellar as the
means of keeping his produce. Once
in while cellar is so built and so
handled by those in charge of it that
1t does the work fairly we'll, but for
the most part the cellar has proved
to be a poor place in which to keep
perishable farm produce.
At Neoga, Illinois, is a cold storage
house constructed under the direction
of the University of Illinois and owned
by the university. 1t was completed
last summer and filled with perishable
produce. The ice room was filed with
20 tons of ice, 20 tons of which have
melted to date. The so tons now in
the house are melting so slowly that
they promise to hold the temperature
at its present point for a very long
period. For some months now the
temperature has been 33 degrees, one
degree above freezing. All through the
fall this temperature maintained itself.
Even when the very cold weather came
in December the temperature in the
storage house did not fall, but re-
mained stationary. This is rather re-
markable when we consider the fact
that no fire was kept in the building
to in any way balance the greater cold
outside. A small variation might have
been expected. The insulation is so
perfect that no variation at all results.
The melting Of the first 20 tons of ice
was due to the heat in the produce
stored in the building. When that heat
had been taken out the expenditure
of ice became almost nothing.
The construction of the building is
on the most approved plans, The ma

Oat Smut


Oat smut is far more destructive to
the oat crop than people imagine. Pro-
fessor Moore Of Wisconsin says that
last year 20 per cent of the oat crop
OF that state was destroyed by oat
smut The amount in bushels lost
last year is placed by the Wisconsin
agricultural college professors at 49,
900, 900 bushels. This loss occurred in
a year when the oat crop was very
short. Professor Henry says that this
100000 bushels could have been
thrown on the market without depress-
ing the market price of ats material
ly In case of big crop of oats
throughout the country such an addi-
ton would depress the price some, but
not under conditions that existed last
season.
This 10000, 900 bushels of oats could
have been saved to Wisconsin farmers
IL they had followed the advice that
has been so repeatedly given them by
the experiment station. For years
now bulletins have been widely circu-
lated through the state, telling the
farmers how to treat their seed oats
so as to avoid the smut In addition
Professor Henry secured the publica-
ton of his instructions in this mat
ter In more than 300 local papers pub
lished in the state But in spite of
all these things 1t is the belief of the
professor that not one farmer in 5000
treated his seed oats last spring. He
says that the farmers are finding fault
Necause their taxes are high and COM
of 100000 being spent on schools
in tn state, while they have permitted
oat SIN 1t alone to rob them of many
times the amount. Moreover, oat smut
is increasing so rapidly in the state
that IL the farmers do not begin to
treat their seed oats they will in a
few years have to go out of the busi-
ness Of growing oats
Professor Moore made some expert
ments to determine the rapidity with
which oat smut increases. He sowed
some seed oats in which about two per
cent OF the grains were smutted. The
resulting crop had ten per cent Of
smut. That seed was planted and the
next crop had twenty per cent of smut.
Seed from that crop gave crop of
oats having 81 per cent Of smut. This
shows what is likely to happen if the
farmers do not heed the advice given
them.
Smut spores do not live over in the
ground, being unable to survive the
winter. They are carried over only in
the seed. This seed may be made safe
by soaking in water and formalde-
hyde; the combination should be one
pound of formaldehyde to 80 gallons
of water. The oats should be put in
sacks and dipped into the solution, be-
ing left there for twenty minutes or
more. An hour will not hurt them.
What is true of Wisconsin as to smut
is also true of many other states in
the Union where oats are grown ex-
tensively. Everywhere the farmers
should dip their oats to prevent the
smut.

Sweet corn is considered very COM
mon table food among farmers, but in
the cities 1t is highly valued The ho-
tells use it great deal and keep it
on their tables. as long as 1t can be
secured. The men that cater to this
trade use many varieties of corn and
plant at different times so they will
have a succession. Therefore the cit
izens and the patrons of hotels get
sweet corn for weeks and months. Not
SO the family of the farmer. In most
cases the corn is all planted at about
the same time. and the green corn Is
at its best for use for but short
time.

Cooperative Fruit Selling.


(Farmers' Review Special Report)
At the Wisconsin horticultural
Meeting c. Il. Basset of Michigan said
in part:
One of the first drawbacks we had
to contend with in the Michigan fruit
belt was the cost Of transportation.
The location of our orchards is such
that we can patronize either the rail-
road or the boat lines, but there has
been no competition between them. An
express company operated over the
fruit train for about IA years, furnish
ing very poor service and stubbornly
maintaining a six and one-half cent
rate on small baskets to Chicago. We
had no organization and the efforts OF
individuals to get better or cheaper
service were of no effect. The season
of 1888 brought such low prices for
fruit that it was evident that some
thing must be done and cooperation
was resorted to. The Fennville Fruit
Shippers association was organized in
1891 and the Granger System" Of
shipping fruit was adopted. The sue
cess of our association under this plan
has been wonderful. We have local
agent of the association who receipts
for and loads the fruit into ventilated
cars, holding about $500 small bas-
kets each, for which he receives $3.50
per car. A special fast fruit train
starts from Fennville at six o'clock
every evening, Saturdays excepted, for
Chicago. The cars are all billed to
our Chicago consignee, who does the
unloading and attends to the freight,
etc, receiving for this service $500
per car.
AS result of this cooperation, we
have been able TO secure the adoption
of a standard climax package, which
has resulted in a saving in their cost
of more than one-half. The freight
rate has been lowered from the ex-
press rate of six and one-half cents to
two and one-half cents and, the boat
lines having to meet this competition,
every shipper in our fruit belt has
been equally benefited by the operation
of our association, whichever way he
shipped. The association has actually
reduced the cost of packages and trans
portation to about one-third of what
it was under the old plan. The very
first year the association did business
1t saved one large grower fully $1,000.
In one year our fruit section shipped
100000 small baskets of peaches, and
the saving to the growers that year
was over 100000.
Not only have we obtained better
service at much less cost, but 1t has
been done with a cash profit to the
association. This profit, amounting to
many thousands of dollars, has been
expended in the grading and graveling
of our public highways, until we now
have reconstructed several miles of
first-class roads. Before our associa-
tion undertook this work, 200 or 25u
baskets were considered a good load.
while now our teams handle more easi-
ly 500 to 700 baskets. BY our unity
of action we have also gotten the rail-
road to donate 300 cars of gravel for
this road building.
We have five central packing houses
at Fennville. The foremen and pack
ers. having no interest in the fruit.
pack top and bottom alike, and every
basket can thus be guaranteed.

ranged that the passage of heat waves
is prevented. The building cost 49,

fees in less than three years. Prod

grees can be held almost indefinitely.
