The eulogy pronounced by Mr. Knox
in the Senate this afternoon was the
first extended itterance of the distfn-
suished Fennsylvanian since he entered
the Senate as the successor of the man
whose meraory he extolled. He said:
Though Senator Quay at times suf-
fered consDicuously from that Intoler-
able thing, which it seems the public
servant must endure-intentional mis-
understanding and persistent misrepre-
sentation-his just fame is now beyond
the reach of the cheap detraction which
s.ssailed his life, but cannot obscure his
real career and character.
He was kindly and affectionate, ten
der in his domestic rela tions, loyal and
helpful to his friends. cherishng and
vaIuing them always. and most genial
in his quiet way.
Grateful for a service he was prompt
to reciprocatc Like all men possessing
leadership. he was fighter and he
fought a light tc the end; but when 1t
was over it was over in all ways. He
was not virdictive: one of his most
notable characteristics was his mag
nannnjty.'

FIELD MICE PEST.
How They May Be Destroyed and
Thus lid Farm of Serious
Problem.

A serious problem on many farms is
created by the presence of destructive
mice, and q new method devised by a
Partisan scientist for their destruction
may serve us as well as it appears to
be doing those who manage the farms
Of France.
The mice had become a source of
great loss in certain districts over
there. AS we well know the powers Of
destruction of these diminutive crea-
lures have been found to be enormous.
They not only ruin immense quaint
ties Of living vegetables in seeking
food, but lay away ample stocks for
winter provender. Scientists have cal
culated that each mOuse destroys from
"a to &c pounds of plants every year;
and one unhappy farmer reported that
there were over 500 mice per acre on
his land. To free themselves of this
plague, the people resortcd to asphyX-
iatioD, by filing the burrows with
smoke, CT to drowning by pouring wa
ter into them, or to %sprinhling poison
about the fields-the latter method,
however, proving most dangerous to
domesticated animals, Finally, the
French parliament, moved by the ap-
peals of the sufferers from the Gar
gantuan appetites of these tiny pests,
appropriated $50, 900 to aid them, and
tho latest pet of science-the microbe
vas resorted to. DR.. Danysz, Of the
Pasteur institute, had observed that
large numbers of mice died from a GER
tain disease. He collected virus from
sick animals, made cultures, and found
that these cultures, when CbsorDed with
tho nourishment, produced the disease
In healthy rats and mice, This method
of destruction has recently been carried
out on al area of $500 acres, and has
nr1Jed most effective. One great ad-
vantage is that the chickens and other
animals of the farm appear to be I'M
mune to the disease, having been in no
instance affected during the expert
ments. The government appropriation
has been devoted to the purchase OF
| the virus. which is sent free of charge
TO all regions affected. The virus is
mixed with sailed water and crushed
| oats are soaked in the liquid. The oats
are then scattered nea the burrows.
| Ten DAYS afterwards, what is estimated
&c on per cent. of the mice have been
foand dead in the fields.

NINA GO ON STRIKE.

Even the rabbit Is a hardened striker.
In rabbit colonies the stronger rabbits
do most of the b%urroWiEg and as often
as perhaps once in two years these be-
come disconnected and refuse to work.
A species of black ants have little yell
low ants which 90 most of their work
for them. Occasionally the yellow spe-
cies will go on a strike. Their food sup
ply is cut off, but if that does notavail
the strikers are attacked OF another lot
Of yellow ants are secured.
Both birds and beasts occasionally go
on strike, according to observers. A
herd of horses will bunch together, neg
lect their food, become FESTIVE, neigh
and rub noses when in a field. The out
come is that the herd will not allow
themselves to be saddled or harnessed
and will chase and attempt to kick the
attendants. Female birds take tantrums
and refuse to do the homework. They
desert their nests and leave their eggs
to become cold and barren. The male
naturally becomes greatly concerned,
but with the bird and beast creation the
male will never attack the female, SO
there is no remedy. Warblers and star
lings are given greatly to these strikes.

The attic can be used for
storing tools or anything else desired.
In that case there should be a window
in each gable end. The center or driV-
ing floor makes a good wagon and buggy
shed. The platform D can be made sta
tionary by covering the lower part of
the door, and the door sill, with sheet
iron and extending the sheet iron strip
out towards corner of building a foot or
so on each side. Such an approach can
be provided ct each end, so that the
team can be driven through the build
ing. Instead of posts and inverted pans,
it is cheaper to set the building on
eight-inch pipe two feet long.
Rats and mice can't climb the glazed
pipe.

HAULING OF MANURE.
Some Suggestions for the Doing OF
This Work in lie VIM
ter Time.

During the winter every progressive
farmer should lie planning n getting
things together to make work as easy
as possible when springs work begins,
says George c. Reynolds, in the Epit'
omist. The farmer who males it a
business to haul his barnyard manure
out ON the land while covered with
snow is taking n long step towards
putting in a profitable winters work.
This not only makes the work easier,
but on the other hand, gets the manure
where it will do the most possible good
as a fertilizer. Some farmers are averso
to hauling azure and spreading ON
snow, because they think when the
spring break UP ZONES h non-poroua
condition of the soil permits the wash
ing away of a large percentage OF the
fertilizer value Of manure Their Is
no question but what a percentage OF
the manure value is lost through wash
ing at this time Of the year, but expert
ments go to show that a much larger
percentage is lost before it ever reaches
the field than after it is spread upon
the land. Last winter, feeling hat thera
was some reason to believe there might
be more loss caused by washing than
one might suppose, | determined to set
tie the matter for myself by trying a
little experiment. There is no reason
why any farmer need trust to what
others say regarding the matter, when
on his own farm at no expense, ex-
perimentS can be conducted that Will
settle the matter for always. When the
snow is a foot or deeper hau out five
or ten loads on land that is to be
plowed the coming spring and give the
matter a careful test. After the snow
has gone down 10 about five inches on
the level, haul out a like number OF
loads and spread as near as possible
to the manure previously hauled out.
Then again after the snow has all gone.
and the ground settles in the spring,
repeat the same number Of loads near
that which was spread on the o
Stake off the strips so that there will
be no mistakes made, and note careful
" the growth. color and general de-
velopment of the crop. II 1t is possible
10 have the crop of corn it will be much
| easier to distinguish the difference if
| there should be any. The experiment
| conducted on my W farm proved
very favorable to hauling manure and
spreading on snow, but as all expert
ments do not result the same under
! varying conditions | advise every farm
er to give the matter q thorough trial
on his own land.

e for ditch cleaning or to make the
drag throw more dirt to. the left. To
move dirt to the right reverse position
of driver and hitch. If working a clay or
gumbo road, put iron, old wagon tire
or something of the sort, on lower edge
of drag at the end of six months; for
softer soil at the end of u months.
The Western Fruit Grower has an in
teresting article ON the use of the split
log" for dragging purposes in improving
roadways. The writer advances the fol-
lowing timely suggestions:
Don't drive too fast.
Don't walk; get or the drag and ride.
Don't wait fox your ~neighbors 20 take
hold; they may be waiting for you.
Don't bother about a tongue; it Is
much trouble and expense ald is Of lit
tie benefit.
Don't wait for the big grader to come
and shape up your road. All you can
do first will help to make the work OF
the grader permanent.
Don't be particular about material.
With an az and q two-inch aueer almost
any kind of 4 log can be made into a
drag. The one l used for several years
is a box elder.
Don't try TO drag with Il piece; use
two. One will scoop out the hollows in
the road ard deepen them. When two
are used the one keeps the other up;
and in a month or so the hollows will
have filed and become level ard hard
like the balance of the road.
