Horticulture Honored.

Agriculture is held in high honor In China, so high that once a year the emperor guides the blow the whole length of a long piece of fallow ground Pu Lun inspected with deep interest the Agricultural Palace at St. Louis and has picked up for importation some cunning notions about husbandry and fowl-rear- ing. The beamingly benevolent face spread into a broad laugh as he thought of how the chicken farmer over there cheated nature with the incubator. There were no mother hens to grieve at massacres of week-old chickens, now so much appreciated as a delicacy by Americans who have traveed in China. Pigeon breeding for racing and carrying messages had been also brought to high pitch of perfection. Pu Luns eyes became dull, not to say dead. when these birds brought around the conversa- tion to the war in the far east. It would have been no use tackling bim about the Kiel interview in connection with the German emperor's encroaehments in Shantung and his Tientsin- Nankng rail- way enterprise. So I ask if he had giv- en any thought to Equal Rights Con- gresses. He had. but did not see what now remains for the American ladies to | gain if it be not the dsfranchisement of man. I called his attention to the fact that American ladies at the Berlin con- gress disclaimed allegiance to husband or state The prince wondered why they had gone all the way to Berlin to make | this declaration. It has in the United States a universal social state to back 1t l up. But the ladies do not vote at leg | islative elections, and are not members of congress and of the senate?' The sly look again frightened Sup his face 1 He said something in Chinese to the secretary. who answered that A subject | so important required the deepest re- fection.

CRUEL "NICKING
AGAIN IN VOGUE
OPERATION ON HORSES BEING
PERFORMED IN SECRET.
There Is No Law Against the Practice,
but Public Sentiment Has So Long
Been Against 1t That Veterinarians
Will mick a Horse Only Behind
Closed Doors.

& 2 7 Il +
The olden-day style of '.nicking''
the tails Of fancy driving horses has
returned and has full sway in Min
neapolis. Re
In order that a stylish quadruped
may hold his mutilated tail at an UNI
| natural angle, he is compelled to UNI
dergo an operation so severe that lock-
jaw not infrequently results.
When style In livery equipage first
got after the tails Of the horses, it
simply demanded that the long, glossy
strands of hair be cut off and the tail
| be given the general appearance and
length Of a black feather buster. But
now the extreme is being reached
When "nicking'' was In vogue years
ago, it demanded that the under
muscles of the tail be cut so 1t would
stand erect. The present form Of the
fad Is to have the depresser and lat
eral muscles of the tail cut until the
stump stands straight out from the
body, on line with the horses back
TO insure safe surgical opera
ton for the horse, it is always neces-
sary first to shave the hair where the
incision Is to be made. But to shave
the hair of a horses tail for nick
ing" would spoil it's appearance. sc
the operation is performed without
taking this precaution. The mos
careful veterinarians first wash the tai
with a mild solution of corrosive sub.
Innate, but there is still good chance
for lockjaw Cocaine is used tc
deaden the pain at the time Of the
operation, and frequently antitoxir
administered in fear Of the dread
| tetanus.
There is no special law against nick.
Ing or even docking horses tails. Blu
whether or not it is against the gen.
eral state law forbidding cruelty tt
animals Is perhaps best demonstrated
by the fact that veterinary surgeons
will only perform the "nicking' al
night and behind locked stable doors
and none of them will admit ever hav.
ing '.nicked" a horse. The surgeon
gets SO for the operation, and 81 fol

BUYS BIG LINE
OF ELEV AIORS
VAN DUsEN- HARRINGTON co. EN-
| LARGEs SOUTHERN CAPACITY.
1t Has Purchased the A. C.. Davis
Line Of Twenty four Houses In the
Winter Wheat Section, Extending
Thru Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian
Territory. s. 81

The Van Dusen- Harrington compa-
ny Of Minneapolis has closed a deal
for the entire country elevator line
of A. G. Davis & Co. of Kansas City,
Mo-, thereby completing the most im-
portant transaction recorded for a
long time In the western grain trade.
TWenty-fOur country houses located
in the hard winter wheat sections of
southern Kansas, Oklahoma and In
dian Territory pass to the Minneap-
oils firm.
About two months ago the Van
Dusen-Harrington company bought
fifteen houses in Oklahoma and along
the Rock Island road and formed an
operating company, sending Charles
w. Lonsdale from, Minneapolis to
Kansas City as manager of the new
line. In connection with the fifteen
originally purchased, plans were im-
| mediately made for the erection Of
six new elevators, and several houses
will likely be added to the latest ac-
| fifty houses in all along the Rock
Island and, backed by the large capt.
tai and prestige of it's Minneapolis
| interests, Will be a power in the south
| western trade.
The Home Grain company will be
the title, of the company to be incor-
porated to operate the new lines the
tlCduQudileio u WHICH Will aDe at han-
sas City. All interests, however, will
center here and all business will be
directed from the Minneapolis office.
! The move is important not alone in
that it means fuller control Of the
southwestern grain trade by Mime
apolis capital, but it bears upon the
matter of more liberal wheat receipts
here. Hard winter wheat will come
direct to Minneapolis thru the new
connections, and much Of the grain
handled will be sure to find lodgment
| here, as the terminal interests of the
company are concentrated here. These
| include the Interstate Elevator com
pany's houses, the Pioneer Steel aEle-
vator company ande the Star Elevator,
with combined carrying capacity for
almost 100000 bushels of grain.

The Simple Life" who is now lecturing in
America. Pastor Wagner delivered one of mis-
addresses in the meeting room Of the Craftsman
Building in Syracuse and in addition to an ap-
preciative editorial article on his work and
place the number contains full report OF his
lecture. The editorial article points out that
Mr.. Wagner's place in his chosen field of labor
is much less conspicuous than the majority of
his American friends, gained through his popu-
lar writings. believe it to be. His position and
functions are best explained by saying that he
is husbandman working TO fertilize the SOIL
rather than horticulturist engaged in produc-
ing rare and beautiful flowers" In his talk
Pastor Wagner gave the following account Of
how the idea of writing The Simple Life" first
came to him:
