Other Political Notes Of Interest
To Our Readers.

Washington. March 29.-General
Robert p. Kennedy, Of Bellefontaine.
did not make much progress today in
his canvass for the Ohio pension
agency.
He saw Senator Foraker, but got nc
encouragement from him.
Later Senator Dick took him to the
White House. but the president said he
could not see him before tomorrow.
Mr.. Dick will not insist on the gen.
erals appointment, for he understands
the president has no inclination TO
displace Agent Jones just now.
Washington, March 2s.-Tne contest
over tine appointment of pension agent
at Columbus will again be brought to
President Roosevelt's attention tomor-
row. A member of the Ohio delegation
today received a telegram from Robert
P. Kennedy. of Bellefontaine. stating
that he would reach Washington to-
night to urge his candidacy for PEN
sion agent.
The understanding among Ohio poll
ticians here is that a change in the
Office viii not be made for the pres
emf. and that later Pension Agent Jones
probably will be reappointed.
The Republicans of Marion county
are much interested in bill soon TO
be introduced in the senate by Senator
West. of Logan county, taking Marion
out of the second subdivision of the
Tenth judicial district. and putting il
in with Logan and Union counties,

Fires which are reported to be caused
by the spontaneous combustion of hay
are by no means rare. While some of
them are doubtless of an incendiary
origin, others are really due to the
cause assigned. Such a case is re-
ported from the Pennsylvania expert
ment station. The fire was discovered
In the huymow of the station barn.
The NOW WAS directly over the COW
stable Precautions were taken to ex-
clude drafts, and. as there was a sutii-
Client supply of water available, the fire
after n time was eXtinguiShed. The
fire was confined to the central por-
ton Of the hay, and Il number of holes
were burned through the ceiling TO the
cow stable. These We're so situated
that 1t apparently would have been i'm
possible for the fire to have originated
from any other cause than spontaneous
combustion A considerable part of the
hay was thrown out of the NOV. An
examination showed that Il large por-
ton Of it was so thoroughly charred
that 1t would crumble. Some of the
hay had not been subjected to so great
heat and WAS only Drowned in color.
However. IT was unfit for stock feed
ing For several days previous to the
fire peculiar odor had been noticed
about the barn. and n somewhat care
full examination was made to ascertain
its source. The rowen In the NOW was
found to be heating, but no danger of
fire was expected.

When Mr.. Ross c. Duffy, of No. 10

the deepest concern was felt throughout
the town in which he had been promi-

Grand Army men were especially so

to be department yice-cOmmander.
The general anxiety felt about him af-
ter his sudden shock in the latter part of
1901, was slightly relieved by the news
that he had come out Of state of I'M
consciousness which had lasted for five
days, but as week after week went by
and he made no further progress, one
leg remaining paralyzed, 1t was con-
cluded that the highly honored veteran
must at best remain cripple for life.

A stitch in the side" is the popular
and expressive term for Il sharp stab
felt In the side, an acute spasm, pro
duclng pain, like the thrust of a needle.
which IS felt especially in the inter
costal muscles Probably its simplest
form is DE to muscular cramp con
nectcd with respiration and frequently
brought on by violent exercise after Il
full meal. In which there is a greater
accumulation of carbonic acid than can
be readily assimilated or carried Off.
Such slight stitch Is often removed by
STOPPING hence the old time popular
remedy was to make the sign of the
cross upon the foot.
Such n stitch Is also associated with
pleurisy. and then 1t is caused by a
stretching of the not uncommon adj
hesions between two pleuritlc surfaces.
At other times the source Is neuralgia.
In any case TO persist in muscular ex-
ertion when the stitch Is severe Is to
take Il great risk.

WEIGHT OF HAY,
The Degree of Maturity when Cut
Influences shrinkaRe.

The results Of experiments conducted
by different stations show that the de-
gree Of maturity at which hay is cut
influences very largely the shrinkage
during curing Al the Pennsylvania
experiment station early cut hay lost
on an average % per cent in weight.
While later cut hay lost only 2l.5 per
cent. Timothy, when cut just begin
ming to head. lost - per cent Of water
In curing; when cut ut the beginning
Of the bossoming period, 66 per cent
and cut little later or about the usual
time. 81 per cent. The Michigan sta
ton found IA shrinkage of about 90 per
cent in curing clover. At the New
York state atation meadow fescue mix
cd with a little red clover lost in one
lot 62.GS per cent and in another 1925
per cent during curing. The moisture
retained in cured fodder varies with
different kinds Atwater states that
for New England timothy hay retains
on an average Il per cent Of moisture,
clover hay IA per cent and corn fodder
% per cent.
Eject of Atmospheric Motature.
A considerable difference in shrink
age occurs between hay cured in dry
weather and hay cured when the at
mosphere is more or less moist. For
this reason the shrinkaRe IN hay in a
dry climate is usually smaller than in
the more humid regions. At the Kan
sas experiment station small quantities
Of thirteen different kinds Of hay buried
In the NOV from four to six months
shrunk As per cent on an average,
ranging from Ii per cent loss TO
per cent gain Five tons of very dry
timothy hay stored in a NOW for six
months at the Michigan experiment
station lost nearly I per cent. and In
another test 5000 pounds of the same
kind of hay in good condition placed
in the NOW July & had lost 776 pounds,
or 1873 per cent, by Feb. IS following.
Practical men estimate that hay put
in the NOV when in good condition
usually shrinks about 20 per cent by
the time ii is baled The Utah expert
ment station has reported 81 loss of a
little over 10 per cent In a ton Of tim
othy hay after 1t had been kept in the
barn for nine months y stack of tim
othy hay containing a little over tive
tons and built in the open had gained
a little over per cent during the same
time The Sesuts with clover hay at
the same station show loss Of 3.75
per cent during nine months when kept
in the barn and a gain of 10 per cent
for the same period when stacked out
of doors.

PARIS GREEN SPRAY.
Why II scorches-ERect on Various
Kinds of Foliage.

why II ScOrchPs-EHect on various
Kinds of Foliage.
1t does not seem to have been gener-
ally recognized by entomologists and
chemists, says J. X. Haywood, that
there may be three conditions of paris
green which will cause a scorchlng OF
the foliage.
First There may be certain
amount Of arseniOus oxide In paris
green over and above that combined
with the other constituents. This Is
free" arsenious oxide and until re
Gently 1t has been considered the only
eallse of scorching Of the foliage toy
paris green.
Second-The green's may be poorly
made. so that the constituents are very
loosely held together. When such
green's are brought in contact with wa
ter, especially water containing carbon
dioxide, they are soon broken up, and
arsenious oxide Is set free. Even the
best greens break up TO some extent
under such conditions but the poorly
made green's dccompose much more
rapidly Note. then, the effect OF such
greens upon the foliage. First, the wa
ter of the spray would act at once on
the green and set arsenious oxide free;
then carbon dioXlde would dissolve in
the water and carry the decomposition
of the green still further. But the mat
ter would not end here, for the rain
and dew, both containing carbon di-
oxide, would also act upon the green,
and enough free arseniOus oxide would
soon collect to severely scorch the
foliage. This would of course take
place more slowly with even the best
green's. but unless the climatic cOndi-
lions were very adverse not enough
free arsenious oxide would be apt to
accumulate ut any one time TO cause
any serious damage.
Third. The green may be extremely
fine. 1t is well known that even the
best green's when ground to n very
fine powder and applied to the foliage
will scorch This Is doubtless due TO
the fact that more surface Is exposed
TO the action of the water, which may
contain carbon dioXlde 50 that its de-
composing action on the green is ac-
tolerated, and enough free arsenious
oxide soon gathers to cause serious
damage.
1t is Il very common occurrence to
secure a commercial paris green that
scalds because of one of the first two
causes-i. e., either by reason of the
presence of free arsenious oxide or be
cause it is poorly manufactured-but
the writer has never found a CONNER
clal sample of green that scorched be
cause it WAS in too fine condition.
