American Practitioner Would Be Out
of Place Over There.
A young surgeon who went to Ger
many four years ago to complete his
studies in pathology, recently returned
to this country. He makes this inter-
esting comment on national differences
in the profession, says the Worlds

Its science over there; here's it's
the business of healing. Here one
gets the elementary things in college,
learns more in hospital and in general
practice, and turns the knowledge into
money. The average American prac-
titioner would be out of place over
there. With them it's study, study,
study from the time they receive their
degree until they die. At the hospitals
or meeting places, they talk nothing

Wherever the charge is true, it is mere

great work. One man, it is reckoned,

no commercial end for them to gain, so

The difference aptly illustrates the
general difference between our "prac

| learning.

Farm Notes.

Every farm should have a separate
building where sick animals can re
ceive special care and attention.
A real live farmer does not keel
from making mistakes, but he doe
not keep on making the same mis-
take.
On thin land deep cultivation will
have tendency to shorten the yield
On deep, rich, loamy soil the cultiva
ton may be deeper.
Potatoes should never be marketed
unless assorted. Uniformity of siZ,
and appearance will benefit both tn,
buyer and the seller. 1t is the small
potatoes that injure sales and return
low prices.
Pigeons will thrive on variety
grains and grass seeds of all kinds be
Ing suitable, hemp and rape seeds be
ing also acceptable. A sailed fist
should hang where the birds can hav
access thereto, and ground Oyste
shells, gravel, pure water, etc, shOult
be provided If they are confined.
If you want something choice 70
yourself and not for market grow tn
Emerald Gem muskmelon and tn
Kleckley watermelon. There are othe
good varieties, used mostly on accoun
of their excellent shipping qualities
but no varieties can compare wit
those mentioned for home use, as the,
excel all others in quality.
This nation is increasing in popu
lation faster than it is in meat pre-
duction. In the fifty years from 1S5
to 1900 the population increased 80
! times. Beef cattle increased %,
dairy cattle, 2.6S; swine, 2.07; sheol
| 1.S3. Considering these figures in COZ
nection with our enormous exports
does not look like the business is &c
ing to be overdone in the next fit
years. Just what 1t will be then ca
be only matter of conjecture.
When you go into a seed store to bu

Hungarian Nil1et.

In sections where the hay crop Is
short, one of the best and quickest
catch crops is Hungarian millet. The
seed is comparatively cheap, ranging
from 81 to 50 20 bushel, and the crop
does well on any good soil. In many
localities farmers make good bust
ness of sowing Hungarian millet for Il
hay crop on any ground from which
crop can be taken by the middle of
August. If the crop was a cultivated
one, but little preparation of the soil
is necessary. Shallow piowing and a
thorough narrowing will probably be
sufficient in most cases. 1t is gener-
ally considered that this millet crop is
worth all it costs to get it, and it Is
particularly valuable for cattle, or the
grain may be saved and fed to poultry
during the winter. One Of the most

In bulletin issued by the C.nld an
Department of Agriculture, giving
much valuable Information for the
benefit of Dominion poultry men, the
following description and accompany

should extend across the pen and
should fall an inch or so below the
drop board. When not required in
front of the fowls the frame should
be hooked to the roof of the house,
This frame when lowered, together
with the board sides of the roosting
quarters, form the warm roostlng pen.

The Graves of a Household.

They grew in beauty, side by side,
They filled one home with glee;
Their graves are severed, far and wide,
BY mount, and stream, and sea.
The same fond mother bent at night
Der each fair sleeping brow;
She had each folded flower in sight
Where are those dreamers now!
One midst the forest of the West,
BY a dark stream is laid
The Indian knows his place Of rest
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue lone sea, hath one
He lies where pearls lie deep.
He was the loved of all, yet none
Ger his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are
dressed
Above the noble slain;
He wrapt his coors round his breast,
On a blood-red field of Spain.
And one-o'er her the myrtle showers
1t leaves by soft winds famed;
she faded midst italian flowers
The last of that bright band.
And parted thus they rest, who played
Beneath the same green tree;
Whose voices mingled as they prayed
Around one parent knee!
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheered with song and hearth
Alas! for love, if thou were all,
And naught beyond, oh, Earth.

 The firm of Aston & Maloney, doing general merchandising business at Douglas, Arizona, has made an assign ment for the benefit of their credit ors. The reason given for the failure is that the business had been increaS- ing 80 fast that it had become entirely too large for the capital invested. A large amount in bills against the firm fell due the latter part of December, and not having sufficient funds on hand to meet them, they were forced to assign. The largest creditors are the Copper Queen, of Bisbee, and L.. Zeckendorf & Co.,, of Tucson. The assets and liabilities are about the same, something like $2S, 900.

The article, as nearly everybody knows, tells how the land of Maine and New England is so rocky that they have to plant clover with hypo- dermic syringe and raise it with a mustard plaster, and sheep have to have steel bills to pick the grass be- tween the rocks, and the country runs entirely to Christmas trees and spruce gum. When that comes out, coupled wiLn the poem of the man from A4. zoLa, it will be one of the richest speeches that has been heard in a good many years.

SAN CARLOS RESERVATION
Conditions Generally Satisfactory. Indians Building Road to Apache. Erection of School Building at Geronimo.

B. B. Adams returned last week from the San Carlos resery ation, where he had been for several days, seeking whom he could put on the safe side of uncertain life, as repre- sentative of the New York Life h. Surance company. During .his ab- sence he visited Rice station and the agency at San Carlos.
 He visited the Indian schools at Rice station and San Carlos, finding them in excellent condition and mak- ing excellent progress. There are POO pupils at Rice and 100 at San Carlos. The children receive instruction and training in various lines of industry, besides the regular course in the school room.
 A great many Indians are now at work on the new wagon road between Rice station and Fort Apache. The road was built several years ago as far as the government saw.mill. It is now being extended on to Fort Apache. A good many are employed on ditch work and they are now doing all the section work on the G. V., G. X N. railway.
 Mr. Adams stopped one day at Ge- ronimo. It was the livliest day or the season, a train load of cattle being loaded and shipped there. Geronimo has prospects for the future, however, as the government will soon begin the erection of a commOdious Indian school building at that point, which will cost S75, ,000 and is intended to ac- commodate POO children.
 No rations are now issued to the h. dianS except to those who are old and decrepit and unable to earn their own support. MT. Adams heard of no trouble on account of rations, and the Indian seems to understand that the time has come when he can no longer remain in idleness and draw bis sub. sistence, or any part of it, from the government.

SENATE A MIGHTY POWER.
All Wires Lead to the Halls of Con

All Wires Lead to the Halls of Con-
gress at Washington.
1t is true that we have government
by public opinion, and public opinion
But all this majestic power has to be
delegated to someone All these cleo
trical forces of a mighty people have
to be gathered in dynamo, or con-
verter, for practical Use and expression
All the wires lead to Westinghouse
the White House and the halls of con-
gress.
When we go to the city to inquire
how the machinery works, how these
tremendous, transmitted forces are
taken up and put into the policies and
laws which lead and rule the nation,
we find dozen men with their hands
pretty firmly gripped upon the con-
trolling levers. They are not absolute;
they are not dictators; the machine can
be run without them; they may be,
and sometimes are, pushed aside. But,
year in, year out, they manage to ex-
ert an influence which Is really one of
the steadiest and most powerful factors
in our national affairs. 1t has already
become automatic that ours is a gov
eminent Of the senate, by the senate,
and for the senate; and no one knows
better than the man behind the scenes
in Washington how true this is. Why
and how the senate has attained this
commanding place is another story; it
is enough here to say that 1t is now
something more than a coequal part
ner in the legislative branch. 1t is
superior to the house of representa-
tives; the house proposes; the senate
disposes. To the president, the senate
is his executive council, his board of
directors; and without it's aid and CO.
operation he is well nigh powerless
He must make sure of it's support,
must defer to it, must consult it. His
cabinet he may command, but the SEN
ate he must placate. Theoret ically, the
executive has veto power over the SEN
ate; practically. 1t has the veto power
over him. Superior to the house more
powerful than the president, the senate
is the central, vital, dominant part of
the machinery of government Walter
