Ans.-1. In order to keep turnips
well they should be housed in clean,
dry and unfrozen condition; this is of
first Importance. The storage, wheth-
er it be root house or pit, should not
be closed up until there is danger of
freezing the roots. They should not
be stored in very large bulk, as they
are liable to generate heat and cause
rotting. root house more than ten
feet wide should have a Slated venti-
lator running lengthwise of the house
along the floor and this should con-
meet with shaft leading to the open
air. In very cold spells care must be
taken to prevent the admission of
frost, but in mild weather ventilators
both below and above should again be
opened. The roots beneath windows
and traps should be fed out first, as
these spots contain more or less soil
mixed with the roots. To keep roots
well they should be kept as near the
freezing temperature as possible with.
out being frozen.
2. Mature cattle may have from
thirty to forty pounds of ensilage
daily in addition to some other feed,
such as hay or good straw. Ensilage
even from well matured corn can not
be fed alone with satisfactory results.
This food alone is too heating and it
fails to supply the flesh forming part
OF ration. Fattening or milking
cattle receiving ensilage require such
additional foods as clover hay, bran,
oats, peas and oilcake.

SAYS THE PICTURE IN
LOUVRE is NOT GENUINE
NJ. MariOtte Claims to Have the
Original Raphael Ia Belle

PARIS, March 12.-Art experts this
week have had interesting ground for
the exercise of their knowledge. NJ.
Mariotte claimed to have purchased in
Mayence an original picture by Ra-
phael, La Belle Jardiniere." He states
that the picture in the Louvre is but
a copy and challenges the critics. The
history of the canvas in the Louvre is
well known. 1t was purchased by Fran
els 1, and NJ. Mariotte has written to
the Minister of Fine Arts asking that
the picture be compared.
The MarQuise de Wentworth has re-
turned to her hotel in the Avenue des
Champs Elysees from Rome, bringing
back many paintings and studies. Not
the least interesting sketches adorning
the walls of her studio are scenes from
the Vatican, which will serve for
large canvas depicting the last mo-
ments Of the late Pope. The sketches
comprise the furniture of Leo Kills
room and portraits of Cardinals and
others present at the Pope's death.

SAN MATEO BANKS
TO BE REORGANIZED
Capital Stock Is Increased and a Saw

Added

SAN MATEO, March 12.-At a meet
ing Of the directors of the San Mateo
Bany Thursday II was decided to re-
organize that institution, increase the
capital stock and add savings depart
ment The death of Senator ]. d.
Byrnes and Phil NJ. Roedel left the
positions of president and cashier va
cant and these were filled by the cleo
tion of j. ]. Pagan as president and
cashier. Mr.. Pagan is vice president
of the American National Bank of San
Francisco, but will take an active part
in the management of the San Mateo
Bank. He and John H. Coleman of
this city were elected directors, leaving
one vacancy on the board yet to be
filled. The capital stock will be not
less than 100000 and possibly more.
and new brick building will be erect
ed to house the institution.
The Commercial and Savings Bank Of
San Mateo is also being organized
with a capital of 100000 A p Clan
nini Andrea Sbarboro, D. w. Don
nelly, L. c. McAfee, Baldwin & Howell,
F. Levy and other prominent business
men are the projectors of this institu-
ton and it seems likely that San
Mateo will have two strong, heavily
capitalized banks, where only one
comparatively small one now exists.
The new institution has opened its sub
scription books and $4,000 was sub
scribed on the first day. They, too, will
erect a brick building, and it may be
decided to make national bank Of it.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
PERMANENCE OF CURE.
The Chief Merit.

Many so called pile remedies will
afford the user slight, tempor-
ary relief, and the majority of
sufferers do not expect more
than this. Women especially, af-
ter having tried every preparation
recommended for the cure of Piles,
have come to the conclusion that there
is no cure except by an operation. This
is rightfully viewed with dread, be-
cause of the shock to the delicate ner-
vous system of women, and many Of
those afflicted have resigned them
selves to the situation with never a
thought that there is any help in sight
for them.
We invite the attention Of all such
to the experience of the lady whose ad-
dress is given below
Il feel 1t my duty to recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure, for, after suffering
ten years with a most distressing form
of Piles, am entirely cured; thanks
to this remedy. any one doubling this
can write to Margaret Brady. 156 Whit
man street, Cleveland, Ohio"
Ten months later she writes: 'T am
glad to say that 1 am still perfectly
free from Piles. and have not had the
slightest trouble since 1 first used your
remedy. am well known in Cleveland,
and have q, ertised Pyra-:il Pile Cure
extensively here. l take pleasure in
doing so, as it saved me from an opera
tion which 1 always dreaded. and you
are assured the remedy can have no
firmer advocate than l."
Te no. like this should convince
the most skeptical that Pyramid Pile
Cure not only cures, but cures to stay
cured. 1t is N the form of a sup
pcSitcry; can be applied in the privacy
of the home, directly to the parts af-
fected, and does it's work quickly and
painlessly.
Druggists sell this famous remedy for
" cents package, and we urge all
sufferers to buy package now and
g. .-e it trial tonight. Accept no sub
stitutes.

and cure of Piles which is sent free for

American dentists, resident in Dresden,
who were indicted for using the title
"Dr Dent. Surg" or "Dr. CHR. Dent"
after their names on their door plates.
The German dentists in Dresden con-
tended that the appearance of the title

DR.. Hendrick and his two American
colleagues proved that they got their
degree from a school of American
dental surgery. But the court held that
the Americans are not entitled to the
use of the title doctor; that their use
of 1t would be deceptive, and that if
they persist in using it they must be
punished.

POSTMASTER FISHER TEST|FIES'
BEFORE SENATORIAL COMMITTEE
FIatIy Contradicts the Story Told by His Prede-
cessoT in Office Relative to the Payment of
Money to Secure Appointment in Postal Service

WASHINGTON March 12.-Jacob
Fisher, the present Postmaster at
Hastings. Neb., resumed his statement
to-day before the special Senate COM
mittee appointed to- investigate the
charges against Senator Dietrich. Sem
ator Spconer attended the meeting to-
day, but Senator Cockrell was absent.
Fisher said that at the time he was
appointed Postmaster his relations
with Hahn had been rather unfriendly;
that previous to that time Hahn made
daily visits to his (Fisher's) place Of
business, but that these visits stopped
when he received the news of his ap-
pointment. He did not recall any visit
by Hahn on April %, and he was sure
that under the circumstances he would
not have asked Hahn what he thought
of his (Fisher's) appointment as Post
master as his (Hahn's) successor, as
Hahn had testified.
THAT statement I absolutely deny"
said the witness.
Fisher also said that he had not asked
Hahn what the office paid, and fatty
contradicted Hahn's statement that he
for him to ascertain whether he would
have to pay note he might give to
Dietrich to secure the appointment.
Il never asked Hahn" he said, and
no note was given"
Edwin E. Francis, deputy Postmaster
at Hastings under Fisher, was the next
witness. Replying to questions by
Platt, he said that he had agreed to
pay half the rental of back room
Of the Dietrich building and had done
so for five months, the total being SAL.
The arrangement was that he would
have half of any proceeds derived from
the room. They had made an effort to
rent the room to the Western Union
Telegraph Company, but had failed.
He said these arrangements, on ac-
count of the room, had nothing to do
with his salary. He contradicted the
statement of Hahn that he had as
sented to statement that he (Francis)
had had to pay 800 to Dietrich or that
he had told Hahn that Fisher had paid
5000 to Dietrich.
