DECLINED TO NOMINATE srEAKSs


the Head of the State Ticket.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Aug. A. =
After it had been generally conceded
that Justus S. Stearns, of Ludington,
would be nominated for governor by
the Democratic state convention, fol-
lowing Stearns' statement that .he had
bolted the Republican party and would
support the Democratic ticket. both
national and state. the convention
nominated for governor on the first
ballot Woodbridge n. Ferris, of Big
Rapids. Stearns was three times u
prominent candidate for the Republic
an nomination for governor. The vote
was: Ferris, 412; Stearns, 800.
Ever since the last Republican state
convention refused to adopt primary
reform resolutions declaring for the
direct nomination of candidates, on
which issue Stearns made his cam
paign for the Republican nomination,
Stearns' name had been suggested as
q possibility for the Democratic NOM
1natiOn upon primary reform plat
form. National Committeeman Cam
pau strongly opposed Steafns' nominal
ton from the first, contending that a
Democrat should be placed at the head
of the ticket.
For three hours after the nominal
ing speeches. nad Deen made the ex-
element in the convention was in
tense. The chairman was at times un'
able to maintain order amid the fren-
zied shouts and cries of the Stearns
and anti-Stearns' men. The fight was
practically the old-time stalwarts OF
the party, the supporters of Chairman
Campau, against the younger element
headed by the Wayne county leaders
and several prominent Kent county
Democrats. 81
The ticket was completed as fol
lows: Lieutenant governor, Hiram B

Great Expectations at Toxic.
Toxic, Aug. 5.-The Japanese are
hourly awaiting tidings of a victory
at Port Arthur with more interest and
eagerness than heretofore displayed
during the war. From a political,
strategetical and sentimental stand
point the position of the Russian fort
ress and naval base is considered of
paramount importance by the jap
anese. 1t is known that the japanese
moose about the besieged cit Wis grad
uaily tightenir Z. The japanese guns
are pouring fire into the diminishing
circle.
Critical Hour II Approaching.
1t is felt here that the critical hour
is fast approaching. But the public
here is ignorant of the hour when the
final assault will be made. and also
of the details of the work already
done around Port Arthur. 1t is be-
lieved that the fire from the japanese
batteries will compel the Russian fleet
to leave the harbor and accept bat
tie from Admiral Togo. There will be
no charges of great masses of infant
ry until the artillery has finished the
task of silencing the Russian guns.

lions to naval commanders not to sink
neutral merchantmen with contraband
on board in the future, except in cases
of direct necessity, but in cases of
emergency to send prizes into neutral
ports. direct necessity" may be re-
garded as reservation of a right
which Russia does not formally relin-
quish, but which. it is safe to say, will
not again be exercised during the pres
Cnt war.
Proof of the Cars sincerity.
Russia's concession IN this matter
may be looked upon as proof of her
sincere desire to avoid international
complications or the unnecessary irr1-
tation of neutrals. The authorities
here feel that this course will be sat-
isfactory to Great Britain and the 9TH

HOW TO PACK AWAY EGGS.
Preservation In Water Glass II Q
Method Highly Favored by
Reliable Authorities. %

The most simple and efiici INT method
OF preserving eggs for several months
is by covering them with q solution of
water glass. This preparation has been
tested by various experiment stations
and has proved to be the best of any
methods yet discovered, except artifi-
cial cold storage. 1t Is being used to
some extent in commercial way, as
well as by many farmers and house,
keepers who wish to pack away eggs in
spring when they are cheap and plenty
for use during the fall and winter
months.
Strictly fresh. clean eggs are neces-
sary to put down. Stale or dirty eggs
will not keep well. Eggs should not be
washed. They should be packed, pref.
erably small end down, in a stone jar
or other suitable vessel, which should
be placed in cool, dark place. To ten
or Is quarts of water, which has been
boiled and cooled, add one quart water
glass Sodium silicate), which may be
obtained of most druggists. A good
grade of water glass should be used.

cred to prevent evaporation. If the
eggs are kept in too warm a place the
silicate Is deposited and the eggs are
not properly protected. The solution
may be prepared, placed in the jar and
fresh eggs added from time to time I'M
til the jar is full. but be sure that there
Is fully two inches of the solution COW
ering the eggs.
The eggs may be taken out from
time to time as needed. They may be
covered with a jelly-like solution,
which is easily washed off. All packed
eggs contain little gas. and in boiling
the shell will crack. This may be pre-
vented by making a pinhole in the
large end of the egg before cooking.
One farmer in Maine reports preserv-
ing 5000 dozen eggs last season by
this method. He sold them in Deem
Der and January and received the same
price that strictly fresh eggs sold fer.
While eggs preserved in this way arc
not as good as new-laid eggs, they arc
better than the usual iun of fresh
stock to be had at the stcres.-Orange

TO PREVENT BUNDLE FOOT.
Place the Roosts Of the Hens Low and
Have the Floor Covered
with Litter.

Bundle foot is an enlargement OF
the feet of fowls. and is generally
caused by bruises due to the fowls
alighting heavily when they fly down
from their perches. The trouble oc-
ours most frequently with heavy birds
which generally have poor powers OF
fight, when their weight is compared
to that of their wing power. The light
er fowls, having more flying power,
light easily, and their feet are mol
bruised. When heavy fowls are per
mitted to perch high, It IS a common
thing to see them come down from
their roosts light on their feet and
tumble over. The alignting is often
accompanied by hard thump. This
is the prevailing cause CT humble foot.
The results of such bruises are SWELL
ings in which pus develops. II these
swellings are lanced and the pus
escapes the feet regain their normal
size. II the pus is not permitted to
escape 1t ultimately forms cheesy
mass and the enlargement Is perma-
nent. The way to prevent humble
foot is to place the roosts low and
have the floor covered with litter.
This makes it possible for the fowls
to come down off the roosts without
sustaining bruises.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GINSENG
United States Minister to Korea Gives
Some Facts About Seeds
and Plants.

United States Minister H. N. Allen.
of Seoul, Korea, has issued the follow
ing circular letter as reply to the
many inquiries from the United States
at that legation relative to ginseng
seeds and plants, how to secure same,
etc:
1T Is becoming impossible for this
Office to give attention to the numerous
requests for information regarding
ginseng received by every mail, or to
furnish supplies of ginseng seed and
plants.
Information may be had on the sub
Iect from the publications of the United
States department of agriculture and
from the numerous firms engaged In
supplying ginseng seed and roots in
America.
with great difficulty living roots
have been shipped to America and a
reliable supply must now be available.
At least one enterprising American (of
San Francisco, CALI has spent some
months at the ginseng farms in Korea
studying the culture and conditions.
and taking away with him large ship
ment of living plants. so that dealers
in the United States must now have a
plentiful supply Of reliable plants and
fresh seeds.
Ginseng seeds are not supposed to
terminate after having dried out. Even
II there were seed stores in Korea,
therefore, II would be useless to secure
ginseng seeds from them.
1.-THE ginseng farms are some co
miles distant from Seoul, and there is
no person there to whom one may APP
ply for seeds or plants. The American
missionaries residing near the farms
have wisely decided not to attempt to
export the seeds and plants, as such
course would ultimately cause trouble
for them with the natives
II all the ginseng plantations in
America succeed the product will be Of
little value. The only market fer the
roots is in China and 1t is overstocked
while the Korean product-which
seems to be of especial value. due to
conditions of soil and climates in
cyeasing so greatly that the purchasers
OF the last crop were obliged to de-
srroy large quantity in order to keep
the supply more nearly within the de-
Nand."
