BOOKER WASHINGTON.
Sat at Boston Banquet AS Honored
Guest.

Boston, October Sin a brief at
ter dinner speech delivered before the
international Peace congress last
night Booker T. Washington arraign-
ed the Belgian government for the
alleged outrages in the Congo Free
state, declared that he had evidence
of abuse and cruelty and said that
a state of affairs existed that was
blot on modern civilization.
Introducing Washington, Robert
Treat Paine, president of the con-
gress and POSTMASTER Of the evening,
referred to him as ''honored almost
universally throughout this country,
but especially in Boston," At this
the distinguished company arose and
greeted Washington as it did no
ether guest of the evening. Wash
4ngton was seated at the head table
beside Miss Lund daughter of Herr
John Lund Of Norway.
Alter acknowledging the unusual
and spontaneous reception. WASH
ington at once plunged into earnest
denunciation of the wrongs which
he claimed were being perpetrated
upon the blacks of the Congo Free
state.
<'I have testimony direct" he said,
from DR.. Sheppard, and from the
lips of DR.. Morrison, two men who
have gone into the Congo Free state
TO, work among their own people,
-and whose story of sacrifice is one
of the dramatic incidents of history.
the influence of the civilized world
should be felt and should free these
people from the barbarities they are
now suffering Their villages nave
been burned, their people murdeded
and manned. DR.. SHEPPARD tells me
that he has seen with his own eyes
in one village 81 human hands hung
up to dry to be presented to the Bel
,gian authorities to show that the SOL
.diers did their duty.
'"And these atrocities are commit
ted for the sake of wealth and self
aggrandisement. Europe should set
a better example to my people in Al
1ica. I speak for them; yes, as I
speak for the black of Europe, for
no man can abuse the one without
thereby lowering all humanity.
There is another condition con-
~cerning which my race should have
the sympathy and help Of such an
organization as this. There exists
in Our own country mobs of men who
are given to lynching and burning
men for supposed or real crimes with
out due process of law. Nothing
in the last 10 years has so rejoiced
vne as the voiced sentiment of GER
tain parts of the south within the
past few weeks against this form of
outrage.
~Race hatred never settled any
problem upon this EARTH The way
for one race to show a greater de-
gree of superiority over another is
;by a greater degree of kindness, OF
thoughtfulness and of brotherly love.
No race is free indeed so long as it
is ruled by passion and brute force"
Washington closed by pledging to
the cause of peace the efforts of his
people He was loudly cheered and
many of the delegates crowded about
him to shake his hand. 3.

Feeding Animals in Winter.

AS soon as the working season is over
the farmer begins to economiEe in the
keeping of his stock over winter. The
plan answers we'll for idle horses, but to
attempt to keep a COW on as little food
as possible is to entail loss Steers.
hogs and sheep should be feed in winter
as literally as are the cows The win
ter is the season when the farmer can
bestow his attention on his animals, and
he should endeavOr to keep then grow
ing and increasing 10 weight until they
are ready for market without regard to
the season Of the year. There is no
more reason for keeping an animal at q
standstill in winter than in sumner.
Time and labor will be wasted when tie
stock is fed simply to keep the individu.

Care of Young Apple Trees.

5ple trees which are set out in the
r.iIDg should be mounded up with earth
bout the base. Pile the earth up around
he stem one foot in height aud to dis
lance of IL to IL inches from the base.
This practice has a three-fold advan-
tage. II acts as q stand, holding the
stem in place, and prevents its being
worked about by the winds when the
ground is soft in the early spring it
prevents heaviDg it also serves as a root
protection against the sudden changes in
temperature and prevents injury by
mice. When the ground is covered
with snow mice frequently damage or
girdle the stem of small trees. kxperi-
ence has proven that when the trees are
moulded up with earth Mr.. Mouse goes
around instead Of borrowing under, add
ihns the tree escapes.

Bulky Food Needed.

No one would think of feeding COWS
grain only, without hay or corn fodder,
and expect to keep healthy animals. 1t
is just as much necessary to give hens
something for filling" aud cut hay and
clover 6ll place Of Importance in main
s4ining health in hens.
lfgiven scratching material of hay,
straw or leaves, or if the hens are al
lowed access to barn mows, they will
get supply of filling, but very likely
will get an article Of little food value
Still another danger, not only to profit
but to health, is the depending upon
corn for feed. Corn has its place and
v-~eeded as beat-producing food but
It altogether, TO the exclusion of
H':s, is to get unhealthy birds

Keeping the Apple.

frequently apples are gathered be-
fore they are ripened But there is a
considerable difference in the weight be-
tween the fruit ripened on the trees and
and those which are gathered premature
ly and left to ripen in a heap. NJ
Lechartier of the Agronomie station of
Rennes, France, experimental as fol-
lows:
1.-THE same variety Of apple was TAX
en-, one lot was packed on Oct. 81, and
the other on Nov. 81, and the two lots
we're analysed when completely ripe
The fruit gathered on Oct 81 averaged
% grams, while that picked month
later averaged 20 grams. The sole fact
of having left the fruit a month longer
on the trees gave an increase of nearly
one.half. Thus one can see the great
advantage there is in leaving the fruit
to mature upon the trees, especially 10
ayear when the yield is slight as is
the case this seaseh.
