JAPAN COULD AFFORD
TO WAIVE INDEMNITY

New York, Aug. SO.-Tbst Japan
mas achieved all she fought for. and
the question Of indemnity was of minor
Importance compared to the establish
ment OF her position among the ma
lions, and other advantages gained.
was the opinion Of Baron Kaneko. the
japanese emperor's financial agent in
this country, expressed last night after
he received q dispatch from Porta-
mouth confirming the report Of the
proceedings.
Naturally" said Baron Kaneko.
Il am quite pleased. Japan has
achieved much. True, we received
no indemnity, but compared with what
we have gained the money matter be-
comes of secondary Importance. The
peace of the world is dear to Japan.
She has achieved so much that was
not surprised that our ENJOYS waived
the minor question of money when it
stood between peace and war.
Got what They Fought For.
1--WE fought for the national exist
ence Of Japan. We have secured it..
Our position in Sakhalin, lost years
ago through diplomacy, has been re-
established at SO degrees north lati-
tude, its former boundary. We are
again possessed OF the of the fisheries
through to Boring sea. We have Port
Arthur agin, rightfully ours. We have
the railways. In many ways we have
gained much. We have shown the
world that the pagan treatment of
prisoners is as humane as that of
Christian nations. We have shown
that Japan is entitled to be regarded
as one Of the powers-to seat at the
table in the council Of nations-all
this is Of greater importance to us
than indemnity. Money could not
buy as any one of these. Why, there
fore, should we permit money to stand
in the way? We have not, nor did l
think the ENJOYS would. There may
be some disappointment at home, but
I am sure that with the Spartan for
bearance that has always character
lied our people, we will look at it
Alright"
Speaking of Japan's finances, the
baron said Japan was we'll able to
meet the expenses incident to the clos
ing mp of the war and the withdrawal
Of her troops from the far East. She
hnad 500, OOO, 900 in Germany. q like
sum both in England and the United
States as yet untouorhed. Her war
taxes would take care Of the national
war loans. There might be, he ad-
mitted, some disappointment in Japan
because no indemnity was paid, but he
thought the Japanese people regarded
their victory as grand one and would
give tho money question but little
thought.

ments advanced by Richard SAKE Jones
and Judge Brinker in the attack on
the validity Of the law, wers that 1t
unjustly Disseminated between rail-
roads and steamboat lines, that it in
terfered with the right Of persons to
continue legitimate business already
established, and that the requirement
that brokers secure q license from the
railroads was an improper delegation
Of legislative power to the companies.
The law was upheld by Prosecuting
Attorney Macintosh and Attorney
James McElroy, the latter appearing
on behalf of the railroads. They con-
tended that the statute was q legiti-
mate exercise Of the police power, that
the business in question was menace
to public morals in that the brokers
constantly instigated and taught their
customers to commit forgery and to
iefraud the railroads. It was asserted
that last year $50 transcontinental pas
sengers were put of the Northern Pa
cific trains at Auburn and Kent on &C.
count of their having scalpers' tickets.
and that the business thus worked q
recurring injury to many more or less
innocent members of the travelling
public.

FARM NOTES.

Last year the country raised 1885,
900 bushels of cranberries, but this
year the crop is Is to 20 per cent
smaller.
An Illinois farmer has husked 12s
bushels and AZ pounds, by actual
weight, of corn from one acre. Other
acres are yielding 100 bushels or bet
ter.-Farm and Fireside.
Have you gone over the barn lots
and about the old straw stacks for a
last load or two of manure? If not,
we are sure that it will pay you to
do SO, as there are several places on
the farm that need it.-Farmers' Voice.
II stable manure is spread with q
manure spreader on the meadow, It
will show very good results for a very
thin coat, and what the hay crop does
not use will be in the soil for the sue
ceeding corn crop.-Farmers' Voice.
\ A good rotation for mixed farming
is wheat, clover, meadow one year,
cow pasture for one year, corn, oats.
This makes six-year rotation.
Where there are permanent pastures
on the farm one year can be cut out
by not pasturing the clover the sec

PROTECTING WATER PIPES.
how Winter Time Annoyances May
Be Overcome by Simple
Device.

I am speaking from actual expe-
rience with 60-foot stand-pipe under
a tank, and also with another tank
only 80 feet high. Both of these
pipes are one and one-half inch diam
eter. We tried several methods, and
found the present plan entirely salts
factory. 1t may seem rather expen-
sive, but such a job to be improperly
done is much more expensive, as we
have found by experience. The dia-
gram will show just how we do it,
says the Rural New Yorker. Make a
four-inch pipe of heavy galvanized
iron in sections like stovepipe, each
made to slip over the next Every
second section should have four cop
per wires run through holes in the
pipe on four sides and opposite to each
other, and the wire soldered on the
outside, also solder the holes up
tight. AS you put. each section on,
fasten these wires so the water pipe
is in the middle of the galvanized pipe.
# announcement to disconnect your
water pipe to slip these pipes over the
top, then crimp and fasten at top and
bottom with small short stove bolts.
Screw heads on the outside. Then
put the boards on as shown in dia-
gram. Be sure always to break joints.
Do not wrap pipes with anything;
leave them bare; paper and asbestos
get wet in summer and freeze in win
ter. Do not try to keep the water
from freezing in the pipes by letting
water run through them; it will not
work under most conditions. Unless
the water is very warm in the tank,
1t will form ice and freeze quicker run
ming than if NOT running. If you
have windmill to supply the water
by letting the water run and also the
mill, you will be all right, but any
other kind of a supply will not be
satisfactory. use a gasoline engine

WINTER STRAWBERRY BEDS.
The Covering Which Should Be Pro-
vided for Their Protection Dur
ing Cold Weather.

Strawberries are the only small
fruits I am growing. These I cover
nicely from sight toward winter, with
straw or barnyard manure, says E. L.
Collar, in Orange Judd Farmer. The
latter I find more satisfactory, as it
furnishes plant food as we'll as cover
ing, and is not blown off by the wind.
l practice cultivation and covering
only the first season after planting.
Afterward, when the picking season
is over, the fields are moved close to
the ground. The after-growth of
plants and weeds furnishes all the
winter protection necessary. With a
dressing of stable manure, a field of
Warfield and Wood will last five and
six years, yielding from 1000 to 5000
quarts per acre each season.
In the spring, when plants begin to
start, the field is well narrowed to get
the weeds and grass packed on the
ground so the plants can grow through
them. If the covering is too heavy
for this, it is raked off

trouble during the past severe winter.
The other tank is supplied by a ram,
and the water is SO cold coming from
the ram that it will often freeze while
the ram is working. With this style
of protection you have an advantage
over any other method, as by setting
a lamp under the box you can thaw
the worst kind of a freeze out in q
very short time.
The heat gets direct at the pipe,
and very quickly let's the ice loose,
and there is no possible danger of fire,
because the iron pipes are protection.
Before putting up the pipes it is best
to paint them with white lead and oil,
which will keep them from rusting for
many years. A lamp set in this box
on the severest night in the coolest
climates will absolutely prevent freez-
ing. The chimney Of the lamp should
be made of tin, and should be eight
to ten inches long, and fit tightly
through a hole in piece of tin under
the box. Brush the wick every day,
aAu put III Lew WICK every mOulu.
A lamp with q one-half-inch wick is
large enough.
You will only need the lamp during
extremely cold nights. In diagram A

Change Radish Into Potato.

Experts of the Pasteur insti-
tu.e, at Paris, have just accomplished
the seeming miracle of transmitting a
radish into a potato. Their report,
which has just been made to the
Academy of Sciences, says this was
done by cultivating the humble rad
ISL in a special solution of glucose,
quasi radish at first fourishing, and
then later when submitted to chem
icAl tests was found to be distin-
grishable in no way from a potato.

though rarely numerous enough to kill
those of any size. There is no sigr Of
the San Jose scale, Aspidiotus per-
niciosus Comst., and the turning yell
low of the foliage and death Of the
trees would indicate some other cause
for the trouble. We observed condo
lions somewhat similar to this at the
latter end of the season in western New
York, and there it was due in all prob
ability to excessively wet weather.
The security bark louise may easily be
recognized by it's elongated, somewhat
pear-shaped form, the smaller end bear
ing minute yellow particle, the cast
skin of an early stage. The male scales
are elongated, with a small yellowish
pellicle at one end of a much larger,
three-ridged white scale. They are fire.
quently crowded together in masses and
give an almost snowy-white appearance
to infested twigs. The female scales,
when recent. are almost pure white, but
as they age dust and dirt collect upon
them and they soon become grayish.
The common name of security bark louise
is bestowed on this species because CT
the scurfy, scale-like masses it forms
upon infested trees. The insect passes
the winter as purplish eggs under the
protecting mother scale, the young
appearing in this latitude the latter part
of May or early in June, and in Pennsyl-
vania probably about the middle of May.
Thorough spraying at the time the
young appear with a whale-oil soap
solution or kerosene emulsion, using
one pound Of the former to four gallons
of water, or one part of the standard
emulsion to about seven gallons of wa
ter, should destroy most of the insects.
The San Jose scale is very different,
and may be at once distinguished from
the bark louse by it's circular outline,
and also smaller size. The full-groWn
female scale Of the security bark louise
is about one-tenth of an inch in length,
whereas that of the San Jose scale is
only one-sixteenth of an inch in dame
ter. The young scales of the latter spe-
cles are dark gray, sometimes almost
black, with distinct central nipple and
a 81 y1ou ring. "A HUol CudIdCC6IlStlC
feature of this latter species, and one
which distinguishes it from other bark |
lice having circular scale, is that the |
green tissues of fruit, foliage and twigs |
are usually stained deep red or purple |
in the immediate vicinity of the insect. |
This species, unlike the scurfy bark |
louise, passes the winter in a partly |
grown condition, and does not begin |
breeding until about the middle or lat
ter part of June, and continues produce
ing young throughout the remainder
of the growing season. It is most sue
cessfully controlled therefore by the
application of winter materials
which are strong enough to kill the in
sects while still under the protecting
scales. Lime-sulphur washes appear to
be the most effectual of anything hith-
srto used for the destruction of this pest.

Cultivation Of the Orchard.

When the orchard is set is the time
to begin the treatment that is to be
continued from year to year. If the
cultivation Of the orchard is begun
early the roots will seek the depths Of
the soil from the first, and the culti-
vator can run over them year after
year without doing them injury. If the
land is not cultivated at all the surface
soil becomes filled with roots and in
the course Of years and the ground will
be then plowed with difficulty
