A New Bordeaux Powder.

The spraying of fruit tress, vines and
garden crops for fungous diseases and
insect enemies has become a necessity
among commercial fruit growers.
Perhaps the most successful mixture
that has ever been discovered for the
destruction of fungous diseases is liquid
Bordeaux Mixture. So valuable is
this mixture that commercial fruit
growers owning very large orchards
have gone to great expense to spray
their trees with this preparation.
During certain wet seasons the liquid
spray has not proven efficient. Where
the orchards are very large and the
land billy, as in some sections of Mis-
sour, the application of water becomes
an exceedingly expensive, sometimes
impossible, operation. This has led
some some fruit growers in this State
to endeavor to find a dust powder
which might be busted upon the trees
t,r the purpose OF destroying fungi.
The methods Of preparing the Bor'
deaux Mixture have not so far beer
satisfactory. The chemical compost.
tion OF the resulting powder has mol
had the same fungicidal effect as the
liquid mixture. The Chemist of The
Missouri Station has for some time
bsen endeavoring to perfect a methoC
Of preparing the dry Bordeaux Mixture
so that The resulting compound woulC
have exactly the same desirable chem
ical composition as the liquid prepare
ton. During the early spring so mani
inquiries we're received at Columbii
upon the subject, that the Chemist tt

This week has been very untavor-
able Tor farm work and the increased
warmth has caused q marked improve
ment IN the condition Of the corn crop.
10 a few localities corn is rather weedy
bu' as a rule 1t is well cultivated and Is
making rspid growth, though needing
ram in some districts. Considerable
early corp has been laid by, and in the
southern sections some is showing silk
and tassel. The replanung of over
flowed lands is about completed; good
stands have been secured, as a rule,
aud cultivation is IN progress. A con-
siderable portion Of the overlooked
lands will be sown to mlllet. Cotton
also shows Improvement as a result OF
the higher temperature. Wheat har-
vest is nearing completion, except IN
the extreme northern counties. and
stacking aud threshing ere becoming
general. Good yields are reported 10
some of the northern counties, but in
others the yield is disappointing, and
Ia nearly all Of the central and south
err couDties 1t is very light. Many
correspondents report an improvement
in the condition of oats, and in nearly
all the northern and a considerable
number of the southern counties an
average. or more than average, yield
is expected. In many Of the southern
counties, however, the crop will be
light, due largely to rust and plant
lice. Cutting is now in progress The
cutting of clover is we'll advanced and
an excellent crop has been secured 10
good condition. Timothy Is also BEL
ing cut and while in some counties the
geld is light, in most sections a heavy
crop will be secured. Pastures con-
inue IN good condition. Millet and
COW peas are dong we'll. Flax is In
far progress IN Audfian, Cass, Vernon
and Benton counties, but is unpromis-
ing IN portions OF Bates and Cedar
counties, Potatoes aud gardens are
generally growing well, but melons,
are. as a rule, unprOmising. Grapes,
promise a good crop in some localities
while in Others there are very few.
For the state as a whole there will
probably be about half a crop. What
apples remain On the trees are general
ly doing we'll In some counties there
will be a far crop of Seeding peaches.
Blackberries are nov ripening and
with sufficient rain will be very pleu-
tiful.

Immigration at present day and age,
where is it-Canada? No. The
Dakotas? No; but to the great South
and Southwest. This section is fast
filling up with people who have grown
tired feeding stock and keeping fires
the year round. Money is now being
made by the investors who put their
dollars in Southern farms and timber
lands. Fortunes have already bee o
realized by the shrewd spectators
who first entered the field and yet
prices have just begun to advance.
Hitherto the rush has been for pine
lands-the Northern mill men have
taken from the SPECTATOR his holdings
at greatly advanced prices.
The hardwood mill nan is now
looking South and the speculator is
already on the ground forming large
tracts. The farm lands are already
responding in yield TO the three-horse

A movement is now on foot to reor-
ganize the entire naval administration
Mr.. Moody, the secretary of the navy,
now has d plan in his hands providing
for the creation of q naval general
staff. If this plan is adopted, the
department institutions, sch as the
war college, or the bureau of naviga-
ton, will be merged with the general
staff, whose chief will exercise the
same supervision yer the military
divisions as the assistant secretary over
the bureau, and in the absence Of
both secretary ard assistant secretary,
the chief of staff will be acting secre.
tary. The present functions and
authority of the secretary will be
maintained.
This reorganization plan should, and
undoubtedly will, be adopted. Ever
since the outbteak of the Spanish.
American war 1t has been apparent
that the bureau Of navigation is is need
Of a thorough overhauling, 1t has
been a hotbed of political intrigue anC
chicanery. The impertinent role thai
some of the officials played in thc
Sampson-S chley controversy is vel
remembered. Anything that is cal
culated to remove the navy and army
departments beyond the sphere o.
politics and offensive intrigue will hav,
the nations approval.

Poultry Paragraphs.

An ounce of prevention is worth
several pounds Of cure when it CONES
to poultry diseases.
Cold quarters are bad enough for
the hens. With damp added Il the
cold, ruination is in sight.
Milk is worth more v hen fed to hens
than when fed to pigs. The hens like
it. sweet or sour.
Fowls seldom tire OF mllk, They
may eat too much grain or near, but
milk in any form Is palatable aud
healthful.
No one is a good feeder OF his poul-
try who does not supply both meat
and green fed to his fowls regularly.
The song of the hen Is not very
sweet, nor has it a wide range of notes
but the poultryman never gets tired
of it.
The love OF corn can not be bred out
or fed out of the hens. They just nat
urally know it is n of the best grains
for them.-Commercial Poultry.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

Undoubtedly one of the democratic
leaders and one Of the sbleSt men il
the house Of representative is the Hon.
David A. DeArmond, of Missouri,
Judge DeArmCnd has been in congress
since 1890, having been first elected TO
the ffty-second congress and reelected
to each succeeding congress. He is
one Of the ablest lawyers IN the con-
gress and a member of the committee
on Judiciary, He was the choice o.
the Missouri delegation for the caucus
nomination for speaker 10 the fifty
eighth congress when it convenes, but
be refused to stand for the nomination,
and the choice then fell to Hon,
Champ Clark. II the democrats had
carried the house he undoubtedly
would have been a candidate foT
speaker, but be did not care to UNDER
take to harmonic the factions in the
party in the house as the floor leader.
The Judge realizes bis shortcomings as
agood mIxer with men. He has none
Of the bon homme, camaraderie char
acterlstics IN his mental makeup. He
IS short on cheap talk and long on
thinking. He is essentially a thinker
and a student, and never loses any
time INDUCING in cloak-room stories.
He does not inspire affection, but
compels admiration from his demo-
cratic colleagues, and is feared and
disliked by the republicans. He is the
greatest verbal eViscerator in the
house, and CAL perform the neates
job Of skinuibg and cutting an oppo-
nent Of any man IN the congress. He
is a human wasp, and his singer is
always ready tor business. He is not
du OEdGOLS III tuc tAuC ooHoO "a bhO
word, for be has a monotonous and
metallic voice that is not pleasant,
and he rarely %gestculates. His die
ton, however, is almost perfect, and
he is one Of the few men In congress
who lev correct the reporters notes
for insertion in the Record. When he
gets through his speech is a finished
production. AS a sample of his dex-
terlty with scalpel and rapier, he once
said of an opponent, who had a pen
chant for splitting large gobs of printers
ink and unanimously vociferating to
the reporters: "He is, Mr.. Chairman,
the most" remarkable man | ever knew
When he is not writing he is talking,
and when he is not talking be is
writing, and he does both without
thinking"
Judge DeArmond Is an amiable and
kindly gentleman, a ripe scholar, an
able lawyer, and as plendid legislator,
His retirement from congress would be
a distinct loss to the democratic party
and to the nation.
