All Caused BY a Brick.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 16.-Tlirteen
people We're injured here when a
Trumbull avenue car struck brick
that had been placed on the rails and
jumped the track. The scar crashed
into tree, and the passengers were
thrown into heap by the collision,
those on the rear platform being hurl-
ed to the pavement. 1t is thought that
the brick was placed on the track by
mischievous boys. Patrolman l.. W.

Perhaps the most striking charac-
teriStic of the late President Mckinley
was his sound Judgment of men and
his ability To surround himself with
the ablcSt counScllOrS obtainable. We
owe to this kccnncss in recognizing I'M
usual ability the introduction into the
Cabinet of Secretary Hay of the State
Department. Secretary Root of the
War Department, Secretary Tart as
Governor of the Philippines and later
Secretary of War; and Secretary VIII
son of the Department of Agriculture.
| All of these won marked success. Mr.,
Hay became our foremost diplomat, If
not the worlds; Mr.. Root carried the
burden of a war upon his shoulders and
at the same time reurSanized his great
Department and the army; and Judge
| Taft's administration in the Philip
pines was SO able and successful that it
brought him Il place in President
Roosepeit,s sc Cabinet With Mr.. Root
he is now talked of for President, and
if not that, Il place on the Supreme
Bench.
But of services rendered the country
looking to its internal development,
that of Mr.. Wilson in the great and
SURPRISING domain of agriculture has
never been eQuallcd. He came to the
Cabinet both practical farmer and a
trained scientist. From the tail end OF
the Cabinet Departments he has raised
the Ministry of Agriculture to con-
spicuOus position, outshining several
Of the other Departments, and Ameri-
can agriculture has come to have new
and greater world meaning because of
his active constructiveness and never
tagging energy.
Secretary Wilson is rendering the
American farmer notable service and
he has won the confidence of the peO-
pie to great degree as is evidenced
by the many tributes paid him since
the recent trouble in his Department.
Rather than being censurable for the
graft" discovered, it is to Secretary
Wilson's high credit that so little of
this sort of thing has occurred. 1t Is
impossible to build up such an i'm
mense organization as is the present
Department of Agriculture without
some evil creeping in and without some
designing individuals getting onto the
pay rolls for the purpose of private
gain other than their salaries.
Secretary Wilson will not resign to
meet the demands of few sensation
mOngers, simply because the country
which is beneftting so largely through
his splendid work will not hear of 1t
any more than they would agree to
Secretary Taft's resignation following
the disgrace of every army officer, or to
President RoOsevelt's retirement every
time that one Of his appointments
turns out badly.

A feature of the work of the De
partment of Agriculture when hoius
out enormous promise is the WORK oil
foreign agricultural exploration ana
the introduction of new and rare seeds
and plants.
American agriculture is a compare,
lively new thing. Our climatic ana
soil conditions are largely different
from those of old countries whence
our fathers came, and the bulk OF our
agricultural products have been lntro'
duced from abroad. Because our dau'
dies did il before us. is Il suiilcleht eA'
cuse for the majority of men TO 20
ahead planting and cultivating IN the
same old way, hut aS a matter OF tact

common crops, hundred ar two nun,
dred years ago, may nave starteu
wrong or have started in some particn'
lar locality with some particular crop
not very we'll adapted 10 that sec
ton. For two hundred years our an
cestors may have been making Nv
ing by growing that crop, and yet II
may be that in some section of France,
or perhaps Turkestan, where the SOIL
and climate exactly corresponds. a
particular plant is being grown to-day
which is far superior as Il money pro-
Queer.
This Is not mere theory, for every
little while some agricultural explorer
OF the Department sends in new
species. or perhaps merely a new vari'
ETY. of some common grain, for IN
stance, which upon trial proves To he
a much heavier and better yieldcr
than the kind that our farmers have
been growing since the Indians occu-
pied the land.
Secretary Wilson takes much stock
In his agricultural explorers. and he
has some energetic young men who
are both botanists and linguists and
have become almost as familiar with
the agricultural productions of some
little known and difficult to reach cor
ners of the globe as they are with the
farms of the United States. The writer

A Peculiar Horse.

A Peculiar Horse.
The excellence of the English Colo
NAL educational systems Is evidenced
by the following interesting descrip-
ton of the horse by a Bombay stu
dent:
"The horse Is a very noble quadru-
ped, but when he is angry he will not
do so. He is ridden on the spinal cord
by the bride and sadly the driver
places his foots on the stirrup, and
divides his lower limbs across the sad
die, and drives his animal to the
meadow. He has a long mouth, and
his head Is attached to the trunk by
a long protuberance called the neck.
He has four legs; two are in the front
side and two are afterwards. These
are the weapons on which he runs,
and also defends himself by extending
those In the rear In parallel direction
toward his foe, but this he does only
when In a vexatious mood. His food.
ing Is generally grasses and grains.
He IL also useful to take on his back
a man or woman as well as some car
60. He has power to run as fast as lie
could. He has got no sleep at night
time, and always standing awaken.
Also there are horses Of short sizes.
They do the same AZ the others are
generally doing. There IL no animal
like the horse; no sooner they zee their
guardian or master they always crying
for flooding. but It ID always at the
morning Tina They have got tail, but|
not 70 long - the COW and other such
Ike similar animals"

Seeiless Grapes, Mating Barley
and Luxuriant Hops.
On a tour Of investigation through
Europe, Mr.. Fairchild secured many
important fruits and vegetables. The
Sultanina seedless grape was sent in
from Italy. The Huasco seedless raisin
grape was another find. The best
mailing barley in the world was
found growing at an old town in Mo-
ravia. Introduced under the name Of
Hanna barley, it has already proved
Of value to those regions where it has
been grown, especially on the Pacific
coast. 1t Is not only earlier, but
heavier yielding than other barleys;
and IL it is found that 1t can be gen.
orally substituted for the barleys now
grown. Its increased yield of from one
to two and half bushels per acre will
add enormously to the aggregate out
put. A study of the hop regions of Eu-
rope disclosed the fact that the Ameri-
can hop is far inferior in quality to
the best European varieties. The i'm
portation Of young plants for the pur-
pose Of producing better American
hops was undertaken by the Depart
ment rs result Of this discovery.
Bamboo Will Thrive In U. s.
The Jordan almond. the finest va
rlety In the world, was found growing
In Spain, and at once recognized as far
superior to the almonds produced In
the United States, 80 supply was i'm
medlately secured and shipped. A
discovery which Mr.. Fairchlld thinks
of great importance are the hardy
bamboos of Japan. These are now be-
ing tested In California and the South

No Resignation for Secretary
Wilson.

There are many good and sufficient
reasons why Secretary Wilson whom
the senSationaliSts have indirectly II
not directly held accountable for the
cotton scandal in his Department, VIII
not resign. Whether or not Mr.. Wilson
is even indirectly responsible for the
criminal doings Of trusted employees,
he is the man directly responsible for
q most wonderful development and eyo-
luton in the Department of Agricul'
ture. And a man who can revolution
lie agriculture in an agricultural ma
ton in a space of eight years and with
al win the confidence Of the farmers
generally can not be spared.

interesting countries of the globe

agriculture and irrigation ON SPLEEN
did scale; Chill, a temperate country,
where many plants were found suit
able for our conditions: China, India,
Chaldea, and numerous others. At the
last place, near Bagdad, are found the
Immense date groves of the land of
Babylon. where are produced probably
three.fOurths of all the dates of com
merce. These vast date forests extend
for a distance of seventy miles up and
down the Tigris, Many fine date suck
ers were obtained by Mr.. Falrchlld
and shipped TO the United States, and
are now growing in Arizona. and some
day the great Colorado river of our
Southwest where the conditions are
exactly favorable for date growing,
may not only produce all the dates
which America uses, but export this
Wholesome fruit. Dates picked,
packed and shipped by American
methods will bring a higher price than
the imported products, which, If the
history of their packing were known
might not be- eaten with such avidity

the date itself cures or candies tn,
