TALKS TO IRlSHMEN ABOUT
TRUE AMERIcANlsM
FAvORS A STRONG NAVY
In His Address at the Banquet of Sons
of the American Revolu-
ton.

New York, March 19-Speaking at
the 121st annual dinner of the Friendly
Sons of st. Patrick, President Roose-
welt paid tribute to the Irishmen's part
in Americas development and then
made this plea:
My Fellow Countrymen: have
spoken tonight especially of what has
been done for this nation of ours by
its sons Of Irish blood. But, after ali,
in speaking to you or any other body
OF my fellow citizens, no matter from
what old-world country they them
selves or their forefathers may have
come, the great thing to remember is
that we are all of us Americans. Let
us keep our pride i'm the stocks from
which we have sprung; but let us show
that pride not by holding aloof one
from another, least of all by preserv-
ing the old-world jealousiesl and bitter
nesses, but by joining in a spirit OF
generous rivalry to see which can do
most fer our great common country.
"Americanism is not matter OF
creed, or birthplace, or descent. That
man is the best American who has IN
him the American spirit, the American
soul. Such man fears not THE strong
and harms not the weak. He scorns
what is base or cruel or dishonest. He
looks beyond the accidents of occupa-
tion or social conditions and halls each
OF his fellow citizens as his brother,
asking nothing save that each shall
treat the other on his worth as a man,
and that in them lies for the uplifhting
of this mighty and vigorous people.
Fate of the Country.
I'm our veins runs the blood of many
an old-world nation. We are akin to
each of those nations, and yet identif
cal with none Our policy should be
one of cordial friendship for all: and
yet we should keep ever before our
eyes the fact that we are ourselves a
seperate people, with our own idals
and standards, and destined, whether
for better or for worse, to work out a
wholly new national type.
"The fate of the Goth century will
in no small degree depend upon the
quality of citizenship developed on this
continent. Surely such thought must
thrill us with the resolute purpose SO
to bear ourselves that the name Amer
ica shall stand as the symbol OF just,
generous and fearless dealing with all
men and all nation'sL Let us be true
to ourselves, for we then cannot be
false to any man."
Soon after the conclusion OF his ad-
dress President Roosevelt left for the
banquet of the Sons of the American
Revolution at the Hotel Astor.
Talks of Navy.
In his address, President Roosevelt
dwelt. particularly upon increasing the
powers of the navy.
The president expressed regret that
congress did not provide means for
field maneuvers, and he declared: Il
speak in the interests of peace when I
ask for an efficient army and navy"
''This nation will not" he said,
surrender the isthmian canal nor the
islands of the sea, and here was an
agreement for augmented strength"
President Roosevelt left the Hotel
Astor at 11:25 o'clock and was driven
directly to the twenty third street sta
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad, go
ing thence by boat to Jersey City,

cial message from the president to
congress endorsing the commission 5
recommendations against these bills,
and of the strong protest of Chairman
Lacy of the house public lands COM
mittee, the house of representatives
passed these measures by a vote of
nealy three to one.
Dry Farming Reclamation and Range
Control.
This proposer legislation was con-
sidered especially unwise just at this
time when the department of agricul-
ture is every year bringing into the
possibilities of profitable cdllIyatIon
millions of acres of the semi-aria
lands, where it was proposed to apply
these laws through the inbroducLloA
from abroad cf drouth resistant plants
and desert species of grain and fod-
der, and by new and improved meth
DDS for farming dry lands. Moreover,
the commission has worked out plan
of range control and grazing permits
which gives the real settler all asked
for under the 640-acre measures and
yet avoids the danger of the absorb
tion of the land into large cattle hold
ings, but allows ample time and scope
for the "dry farming reclamation
work of the department of agriculture.
"All in ALL" remarked a prominent
advocate OF both irrigation and for
estry, a man in nigh official life, very
much indeed has been accomplished
in this congress-, the result of hard
previous work. Now we have this re-
port of the presidents commission,
outlining comprehensive policy for
the treatment of the entire irrigation,
forestry and public land questions and
we can all stand on this report and /
believe get it's provisions through the
next congress-, The time is ripe, the
country is awake and the men are
here"
Work Ahead for Congress.
The things to be done, mentioned
in the report, are the repeal of the no
torious timber and stone act with the
substitution of a method of stumpage
sale by the government, the public
timber lands to remain in the govern
ment, thus insuring reforestation and
protection to the water supply; the
very radical amendment of the fraud
making desert land law and the COM
mutation clause of the homestead law,
requiring in both cases actual resi-
dence of the settler and insuring real
homemaking. All three of these laws
as stated in the report, have been, are
and will be SO long ais they remain on
the statute books, instruments of
frfaud, perjury and great loss to the
government and the nation. They
stand as a continual menace not only
to a broad forestry policy, but to the
very existence of the national irrfga-
tion idea and are fast bringing about
condition of absolute land monopoly
in the west.

assurances regarding the occupation of
Mukden, March 10, will be inclined to
name three weeks as the limit.
ST. Petersburg, March 19.-The au-
thorities declare that they have no in
formation that the Japanese have
reached the railroad in General Line
vitch's rear. Nevertheless, with the
curtain down, the war office is prepar-
ed for grave results.
The last word from the front, re-
ceived UP to this. was from one of the
Associated Press correspondents, the
only correspondent with the retiring
army. 1t presaged an attack from the
rear. The Telegram, although dated
Changtufu, 40 miles north of Tie pass,
at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, was
sent from kaiyuan, 80 miles north OF
Tie pass and only reached st. Peters
burg this morning.
1t was brief, saying simply that the
army was retiring in good order and
destroying the railroad as it went, but
was constantly pressed by the Japan
ese, the rear guard action veing con-
tinuous.
There were ominous words in the
concluding sentence, as follows: I'VE
believe the Japanese are making
wide turning movement north and that
they are ready to fall upon us when
we get out of the ring-like group OF
mountains which surround the Tie
pass gorge"
In the long retreat to Harbin the
Russians only have the advantage OF
the Mandarin road as far as Kaiyuan,
whence it bears eastward to Kirin,
while the railroad continues north to
Harbin.
According to the general staff, how
ever, a good wagon road runs parallel
to the railroad. But for am army of
quarter of million men, encum.
bered with impedimenta, with an act
i've enemy relentlessly pursuing and
operating on it's fianks and the con-
stant threat of the enemy closing the
line of retreat, it is admitted that the
single railroad and wagon road afford
poor prospects of General Lineyitch
being able to bring off the remnants OF
fhn army confidnd IN his care without
a tremendous sacrifice of life. If the
Japanese actually succeed in throwing
strong force across the line of re-
treat it is recognized that the army
might be forced to capitulate.
In the meantime the mobilization OF
a new army has already begun in sew
eral provinces, although the order has
not yet been published.

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers. a prominent New York doctor
told the 800 women present that healthy
American women were SO rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be . sweeping state.
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from derange-
ment OF tho female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular menstrua-
ton, lcucorrhea, displacement Of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness? There is . tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored moro American
women to health than all other rene
dies in the world. It regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases Of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female COM
plants.
Such testimony a. tho following
should be convincing.

low wherever it might be. why, you
ought to keep a bunch of goats to con-
vert your weeds and brush into dollars"
he said, with an air Of authority. That
sounded reasonable, too, but being nat
urally cautious, concluded to begin
with one goat. Now, the weeds that most
needed to be converted into dollars"
were in my back yard. so Mr.. Billy Goat
was turned in there. .
All went we'll for few days, but
trouble came when Billy undertook to
interview the bees! One OF them, re-
senting the absence of a letter of intro
duction, stung Billy on the snout. That
was the signal for action. Billy was sur
prised, but, maintaining his presence Of
mind, and calling to his aid all the COM
bative fearlessness Of his race, Billy
backed of about mules length, and let
drive at the bee-gum with4a sfutysthat'
even Port Arthur could not Withstand.
He busted the hive wide open, and sent
it kiting Were the bees angry? Well,
actions speak louder than words. They
just swarmed onto Billy! In less time
than it takes to tell it, every inch of his
hide Has covered with roaring, wrig-
Cling, singing bees.
The goat gave one awful exclamation

Jap and Russian oaths with Chinese
walls, shook himself for an instant with

THE BROOD SOW.
Rules Which Should Be Observed Il
One Would Select the Most
Likely Gilt.

When selecting the brood SOW. 60
TO pen where number of gifts are
kept and the latest and best develop
ed ones will always come to the trough

The gilt selected should come from 4
large litter and from SOW that is a
good feeder, gentle and easy to handle.
For if she is gentle and kind and a
good feeder, she will usually be a good
mixer, a very essential point in a
brood SOW. One cannot Judge accurate
~ Of the milking qualities in gilt.
but chunky, heavy-boned, short-leg-
ged SOW is not as good mixer as one
with a longer body and legs, and less
rounded sides. Under all circumstances
avoid one that is wild, or nervous, or
has a low back. The legs must be
strong and straight. The sow must
stand entirely on her toes and should
show ten or II teats, says the Ameri-
can Agriculturalist.
The age at which to breed depends
on the maturity more than the age.
says the American Agriculturalist A
gilt that has been properly handled
Will weigh 200 pounds or more at eight
months, and ought to raise a good lit

SOW has only few pigs, or Is a poor
mixer or a careless mother, she should
be sent to the meat barrel at once. But
if She is good mixer. and attentive
to her young, she should be tried agar.

first one developed into good hogs, she
might be retained for a breeder until
better SOW can be obtained.

HOW THE BEE MATCHES.

The egg of the queen bee is about one

are deposited in the cells by the queen,
sticking fast to the bottom of the cell so
as to stand on end, being held by an ad
hesive substance, says the Epitomist. In
from 60 to u hours, these eggs hatch
into little worms or larvae. They remain
in the larvae state about six days, when

FEED RACK FOR SHEEP.
Description Of One Which Has Stood
the Test Of Use and Proved
Its Value.

Some of our new subscribers desire a
description of good feed rack for sheep.
Here is one described in this paper about
this time last year, says the Prairie Far
mer. This is very important subject
in connection with the care of sheep, in
asmuch as it has to do not only with the
economical use of the feed grown on the
farm, but also with keeping the fleece
of the sheep clean and in marketable
condition. No form of rack should be
used for the feeding of any kind of feed
containing chaff or dirt that will per-
nit the sheep to poke it's head into the
feed or that will allow the chaff, dirt or
broken leaves to filter through cracks
and fall onto the sheep. Any such dirt
