this type. and they were regarded as
the finest afioat.
France at that time had fourteen
battleships, each of over 10000 tons
displacement, the largest being the
Bouvet, of 12,205 tons. There are
now twenty-six battleships, each of
more than 10000 tons, in the French
navy, the heaviest being the Demo-
cratic class, now building, ships of A.
635 tons. Italy, In 1895, had ten bat
tleships ranking above the 100OO-ton
class, the heaviest being the Lepanto,
a 15,900-ton ship, built in 1888, and so
heavily armed and arnored that she
almost found it difficult to get out of
her own way. She is now ranked as
a second-class battleship; but she is
not considered fit to stand even in
that line The Italia, sister ship to
the Lepanto, was built in 1880, and
was for many years the largest bat
tleship atioat. She represents an early
attempt to build a monster battle
ship, but, apart from size, she has
never been considered at all formida-
BILE. Italy now has fourteen battle
ships, each over 10000 tons. the heavi-
est being the Regina Margherita, 49,
124 tons.
In 1895 the United States and Ger
many were equal as to battleShips of
over 10000 tons. Each had four; the
United States had the heaviest ship
in the Iowa, of II, $40 tons. Germany's
four were uniformly 10000 tons. Now
Germany has eighteen heavy battle
ships, and six building. The United
States has twelve, with thirteen build
ing and two projected. The heaviest
German battleships to-day are her 12,-
997-ton class; the heaviest in the Uni
ted States is the Connecticut class.
10000 tons
The wars of the United States with
Spain and Japan with Russia have not
been without their lessons to the naval
powers, and the tendency is to build
larger and heavier battleships, SO that
they may carry more tremendous bat
teries. The determination to build
these enormous ships was arrived at
only after considerable discussion. 1t
was thought by some naval construc-
tors that more units, each of consid-
cradle power. were to be desired above
few battleships of the greatest
power.
1t was thought that the Dreadnought
would be the last word in warshlp
construction for many years, but now
it appears that Japan is to build three
battleships Of 10000 tons each. Ger
many is reported to be considering a
2O,OOO-ton warship, and France next
year is to lay down one of 20,5OO tons.
Perhaps the contest will end in uni
versal peace, for there is a limit to
battleship construction, and If it is
not reached in the Dreadnought, it at
least must be near.

advocated the cultivation of alfalfa
in the East we have never considered
it probable or desirable that it should

the place or-.vI clover, but as per-
manent meadow crop on small scale
of most farms. For a short improv-
ing rotation there is no legume which
in the Middle and Northern States

in many sections seems to have be-

alfalfa. The Ohio Farmer says: I'VE

would seem odd that after the great
success that the Wing Brothers are
reported to have made in Champaign
Co, Ohio, with alfalfa for a good
many more than two or three years,
that their example has not spread in
Ohio, and that the editors of the Ohio
Farmer seem to lack information in
regard to the crop. But We agree
with them that for Ohio in general
there is no legume that can compare
with red clover, and if the Ohio farm

Talks with Farmers

When the farmers We're fighting for
the law forbidding the coloring or
oleomargarine in imitation of butter
the oleo men strained every nerve to
prevent the law, and claimed that they
had as good a right to color their
fraud as the dairymen had to color
pure butter. Now that every effort
they have made to get around the law
has failed, they are talking of getting
law passed forbidding the colorlng
of butter, and unfortunately, it seems
that the chemist of the Department or
Agriculture is helping them, by de-
nouncing the coloring of butter. He
claims that the people prefer uncoi-
ored butter except in the South. The
fact is that people call for butter fairly
we'll colored everywhere, and especial
ly since the efforts of the cleo makers
to give a yellowish cast to their but
ter by the use of palEl oil or other
things, the public looks with suspicion
on pale butter and wants u good color
to distinguish it from cleo. There is
no doubt that the cOlOring with ana
line colors should be stopped as harm
full to the consumer, but the colorlng
with pure annato can do no possible
harm to anyone but the oleomargarine
makers Dairymen will have to watch
this new effort of the fraud butte:
people, and should keep their repre-
sentatives posted on the real purpose
of the move against cOlorng butter.
Butter is never colored to make l.

is colored for no other purpose, but
to make it look like, and sell for pure

Cedar Apple Fungus and Apple Rust.
The Iowa Station has issued a care
fully prepared bulletin on the cedar
apple fungus and its connection with
rust on the leaves of apples. 1t appears
from this bulletin that these differ
ent forms of the same fungus have
heretofore been rare in Iowa, though
long known in the East. But the
planting of red cedar trees as wind
breaks in Iowa has been followed by
the growth on the cedar trees of the
gals known as cedar apples, which are
caused by a fungus known to botan-
lists as GymnoSpOrangium GlOboSum,
In get wet weather these so-called APP
Piles prOtrude long WOrm-like masses
of the spores of the fungus, which in
these plants answer the place of seeds.
These spores dry and are borne by the
wind to the apple trees, and on their
leaves a new form of the fungus APP
pears, to which the name Rostela La
Verata has been applied. These form
what is called apple rust, which de-
StroyS the leaves Of the apple tree,
and of course, the fruit is destroyed
as perfect leaves are essential to good
fruit. Only a few varieties of APP
Piles seem as yet to be affected in
Iowa, mainly the Wealthy one of their
hardest and best apples. As this
fungus seems to be peculiar to the
red cedar, Juniperus Virginiana, and
others of the juniper family, it would
seem that the Western people Mad
better adopt some other evergreen for
Windbreaks. The American arbor
vitae is far more rapid grower than
the red cedar, and should be perfectly
hardy there, and so far as we know
is not infected by the apple fungus.
1t should be impressed on farmers
everywhere that cedar trees and APP
pies cannot thrive in proximity, and
all should avoid cedar trees near the
apple orchard, for the apple leaf rust
is merely the summer form of the
fungus that winters in the so-called
apples on the cedar trees.
