RECIPES.

Baked Peaches-For baking use
large, solid, sweet peaches. Pour boil-
ing water over them to loosen the
skin then peel as you would tomato.
Stick couple of cloves in each bak-
ing dish. Cover with sugar and dot
with little bits of butter. Cover with
a pan for the first fifteen minutes and
bake in a steady, moderate oven until
tender. These are nice for dessert
either hot or cold or make on excel
lent relish for roasts or game.

THE ROSTERS FAMILY.

The number OF females that can be
mated with one male bird depends a
great deal upon the male bird himself.
If he is vigorous and strong and
healthy he can safely be entrusted
with a harem of a dozen females, or
even Is; but if he is lacking in vigor'
the number of females should be cut
down proportionally. Better get one
setting of strongly fortified eggs than
two settings of doubtful fertility.

A WHISTLE ON THE FARM.

Around a farm or large place the
use of a whistle is quite necessary TO
call the children home. The young
folks will soon understand that three
short whistles, repeated twice, means
to come home quickly-they are want
ed Immediately. The sound is very
penetrating and saves voice and good
strength.

Gen. George Gordon Meade,

Gen. George Gordon Meade.
George Gordon Meade was bern at
Cadiz, Spain, December 81, 1915. In
1885 he graduated from the United
States Military Academy and was as
signed to the Third Artillery. He
fought In the Seminole war In Flor
Ida. he resigned from the army, and
in 1887 was assistant engineer In the
construction Of the Alabama, Florida
& Georgia Railroad. He did not re-
enter the army until 1912, when he
was made second lieutenant of top0-
graphical engineers. In 1915 he Joined
SCOTS staff at Corpus Christi, Tex,
and during the Mexican war partici-
pated In the battles Of Palo Alto, Mon
terey and Resaca de la Palma, and the
siege Of Vera Cruz. After the war he
was employed in lighthouse construc-
missioned brigadier general Of volun-
teers, and assigned to the command Of
the Second Brigade Of the Pennsylva-
MIA Reserve Corps of the Army oc the
Potomac stationed on the right Of the
lines before Washington. He served
in the Virginia peninsula campaign.
took part In the actions at Mechanics
vile, Gaines Mill and Frayser's
Farm. June IS, 1861, he was pro-
noted major of engineers. At Ma
nassas he commanded the First Bri-
gade Of Reynolds division, and later
took a conspicuous part at South
Mountain and Antietam. In the latter
battle, when Hooker was wounded, he
was placed In command Of the First
Corps. In November, 1862, for his
service, he was promoted to major
general Of volunteers. At Fredericks-
burg he commanded the Third Divi-
sion of the First Corps, with which he
broke through Lees right and pene-
trated to the position occupied by the
Confederate reserves, but for want Of
support was compelled to fall back.
At Charlottesville he commanded the
Fifth Corps, and in June, 1868, he was
appointed commander Of the Army of
the Potomac, to succeed Hooker. His
command was then scattered on the
march through Pennsylvania, in pur-
suit of the Confederate invaders. At
Gettysburg, July 1-3, he won the great
and decisive battle with which his
name Is generally associated. 1t has
been charged against General Meade
that he desired to retreat at Gettys-
burg, on the second day, but not only
has ne. but others have emphatically
denied the allegation. AS a result Of
his victory, he received the thanks Of
Congress and was made brigadier gen.
eral, United States army, his promo
ton being dated July 3, 1863. During
the remainder of the war he retained
command Of the Army Of the Potomac
with conspicuous ability. August IS,
1864, he became major genera In the
regular army. From July, 1865 until
his death he was commander Of the
military division of the Atlantic,
with the exception Of the period from
January, 1868, to March, 1869, when
he was in command successfully Of
the Third military district and the
Department Of the South. General
Meade died at Philadelphia, Novem-
Der 6, 1872, where, in 1887, an eques-
trian statue was erected to his mem

WELLrsHAPED TREES.

The tree that is properly shaped
will have an artistic appearance in
winter as we'll as in summer. It is
not only desirable to have a mass of
foliage in the summer, but its branches
should be so arranged that it will
give a pleasing effect in winter.

DON'T PLANT TOO MUCH.

At this season of the year if one
will take the trouble to travel among
farms and look into the details OF
them. it will readily be seen that
many farmers "bite off more than they
can chew" in the planting line. 1t is
poor policy to plant more than can be
properly cultivated or utilized no mat
ter what the crop may be.

Many Objections.

Commercial reciprocity sounds well
but it is usually open to many objec-
tons. 1t violates the principle that
must be for all like, and it invites
competitive aggression by helping to
reward it 1t also grants favors to
the less friendly which to the more
friendly are denied. Germany imposes
high duty on American products and
therefore gets special rate on certain
things It sells in the American market.
Great Britain admits American mer-
chandise free, and is therefore de-
BARRE from sharing in the concession
which Germany enjoys. That is how
the principle of reciprocity works out,
and there is no need to direct atten-
ton to the inequity of the result.
There will probably be no reciproc-
ity treaty with Germany. How far the
discrimination to be practiced under
the new tariff will injuriously affect
the United States remains to be seen.
Possibly it will not do SO to any con-
happen and should it become neces-
sary for this country to protect ITSELF
special schedule for the benefit of
German imports can easily be pre-
pared, as was done recently in Can
ada, with consequences which led the
Germans to regret they ever began

LIGHT AND SHADE EFFECTS.

The power of leaves to evapora'
water is regulated by their exposure
TO the sun. Some leaves on the sun
ny side of tree transpire three times
as much water as those on the shad'
side of the tree, while in some varie-
ties Of trees, the leaves on the sunny
side transpire ten times as much as
do the leaves on the shady side. 1t is
easy, therefore, to understand now
greatly the trees need the sun. The
passage of the water through the
leaves, is natures way of conveying
plant food to the leaves, where it is
elaborated and prepared by being
combined with the carbon of the air
for the work of cell building. Othe
things being equal, we find the tree
growing more on the sunny side than
on the shady side, as the work of cell
building is facilitated by the action
of heat and light. If a man desires
a we'll formed shade tree, he must see
that that tree stands alone, and that
as much as possible it gets sunshine
from all sides. He need not suppose
that he will get symmetrical tree if
he plants it so near to another tree
that part of it is always in the shade.
A tree will develop its branches on
the side where it gets the light. and
will develop but little on the side
where it is shady. On the shady side
the branches will be thin, and the
general outline unsightly In the north
temperate zone, says the Farmers Re
view. a tree in the summer time. il
comparatively isolated, will receive
the sun on all sides. In the early morn
ing it receives the sun on the north
and east sides. in the middle of the
day, on the east south and west sides
and late in the day on the west and
north sides. This is an admirable ar
rangement for the symmetrical devel-
opment of the tree. Man interferes
with it when he tries to put too many
trees in a certain place.
HOW 1 VENTILATED MY DAIRY.
Some years ago when got pos
session of the farm I found a dairy
house built four feet deep and eight
feet square with brick floor, which
thought would be a good place for
milk.
1t was cleaned out nicely and the
milk was placed in it, but with all my
care the milk would soon be clabber,
and was often sour by dinner time
while my farmers share of the mil

was kept under shady tree, although
the thermometer showed the dairy
was several degrees cooler.

to want of ventilation in the pit to

Postponement Not Abandonment.

Postponement Not Abandonment.
1t Is given out from Washington
with an air of semi-authority that
President Roosevelt will not discuss
the tariff in his forthcoming message,
and there is al inference implied that
he has concluded there should be no
revision. If 1t is true that he has
abandoned mis- intention Of recon-
mending a change In the Dingley
schedule, The Blade ventures to say
that it is not because he has modified
his views on that subject.
As every one knows, President
Roosevelt's heart is set on bringing
about a reform In railroad rates. BE
believes religiously in a government
supervision that will put an efectual
check on rebates, determinations and
unreasonable charges. He knows, as
every one else knows, that there IS a
radical defect in the present system.
He knows, too. that this defect spreads
to almost every branch Of human ac~
t1vity. He thinks that he can confer
q lasting benefit on the people If he
can discover and apply that remedy.
he looks upon the existing condition
as threatening the country's prosperi-
ty, as initiating against the many to
the benefit Of the few, even more
acutely than do the inequalities Of the
Dingley bill.
1t Is the Presidents nature to grap-
pie the most pressing questions first,
and if he is silent on the Dingley bill
in the message he is now preparing,
1t is because he regards the railroad
rate question as paramount, and its
solution most urgent. That important
matter out Of the way, the stand-pat-
tiers may rest assured that he will re-
turn to the tariff question and thresh
1t out with all his accustomed vigor.
The President is too close to the peo-
pie not to know that they are demand
ing Of the Republican party revision,
and he is too well versed in CONNER
cial life not to know that this demand
is both just and reasonable. As to the
extent Of this revision, as to how it
shall be brought about, these are prob

termine.-ToledO Blade.

clared that the tariff schedules should
be changed by the friends of protec-

1t was propitious sign, too, that
the radicals, headed BY the irrepressi-

their claims for reciprocal trade rela-
tons, but declared themselves salts

standpatters. 1t is a hopeful indica-
ton that the Republicans of the Old
Bay State will go into the fight this
fall united.
Both wings of the party in Massa-
chusetts are as firm as adpiantine for
the upholding Of the great principle of
protection. There is an honest differ
ence of opinion as to the extent revi-
sion should take, and happily in this
respect each has met the other half
way. The tariff plank fulfills this con
dition admirably and is in line with
the conservative though of the party
The nomination Of Curtis Guild, Jr,

Help from the South.

From the Southern States comes the
promise of help in maintaining tariff

sion and reciprocity elements of the
Republican party in Massachusetts,
and other States are bending their
energies toward the Generalization of
the prosperity producing system which
Is the outgrowth of the cardinal

the movement to force upon the Fifty
ninth Congress the revision Of the
tariff Representative Lester Of Geor-

Savannah district, expresses the opin-

after be slow in favoring tariff revi-

no tariff legislation during the coming
winter. The situation seems to be that

How 1t Hammered.

The value of general exports was
heavier for June than the months be-
fore, which shows much larger for
eign demand, and contradicts the fears
of the Free-Traders that this country
is losing it's foreign trade because of
the Protective Tariff. The value of
breadstuffs exported in the last June
was much over 100000 more than
in June of last year. There Is still
another point Of Importance to the
labor of this country shown in the re-
port. and it is that with the short
wheap crop Of last year there was
much smaller export of wheat and the
figures for -four sent abroad remained
nearly the same as the year be-
fore. That was caused b. the impor-
tation Of more Canadian wheat, which
was made into flour by American
workers, for wages, and then sold out
side the country. That happened IN
der the Republican policy Of business
for Americans, capitalists as well as
workers.-Worcester Telegram"

The Logic of Facts.

In short, the exports Of manufac-
tured goods under the Dingley law,
which free traders claim would injure
our export trade, are just double what
they were under a Deraomratic tariff
designed for the express purpose of
our export trade, according to the ac-
cepted logic of the free trade-tariff-re-
form school.
This demonstrates the trouble with
free trade and tariff reform argu-
ments. They are all right for closet
purposes: but the irresistible logic of
facts persists in proving the precise
contrary to the closest deductions.
Neverthelf IS, it is to be expected that
the Democratic free traders and their
tariff reform allies will persist in their
claim that the present tariff law is
bad for expansion Of foreign trade
not just now. maybe. but at some time
In the future 1T will work out that
way. 1t has expanded our exports
steadily for nine years. but that does
not prove anything to the free trader.

To Nullify Highest Law.

Hoke Smith, who during Grover
Cleveland's first administration, de-
prived so many old soldiers of their
pensions, aspires to be Governor Of
Georgia. Notwithstanding the Demo-
cratic State primaries do not occur
until July 10, 1906, there are five pro-
nounced candidates for the guberna-
torial Office in the field, all of whom
are making campaigns on Estate is
Sues"
Hoke Smiths issues are disfran-
chisement Of the negro and State own
ership of railroad property.
The negro Is not allowed to vote in
Georgia now. This is effected not by
disfranchiement, but by the institu-
ton Of Democratic white primaries,
which control the elections. Theoreu-
cally negroes who have paid their poll
tax can vote as freely as white men.
However, except at Presidential elec-
tons, there are scarcely any negroes
who do vote. Hoke Smith proposes
that the negro shall be disfranchised
out and out by constitutional amend
ment similar to those of other South
ern States. This is a State question
that is national in its scope, just as
the tariff and railroad rate questions
are national.
