There are rumors of scandal in con-
nection with the new navy-yard at Char
lesion. S: c. which apparently will not
down. 1t appears that northern con-
Germ, the Continental Jewell Filtration
Company, by name, has the contract for
constructing the concrete and stone work
of the yard, and John Dougherty is
their representative in charge of the work.
1t. Jas. A. G. Walker of the navy is in
charge of the work, or was until Friday
night, and he has been compelled on
several occasions to complain of lack of
compliance with the specifications ON the
part of Dougherty. Recently the Lieu
tenant secured the removal of an inspec-
tor who had approved work not done in
accordance with the specifications and he
was finally compelled to order Dougherty
to suspend work. Dougherty suspended
the work but clearly intimated that 1t.
Walker would himself be removed from
his position. Then the private Secretary
of Senator Lodge went to Charleston in
the interest of the contractors and remon-
strated with 1t. Walker for being too
exacting. The Lieutenant replied that
he was without discretion but must insist
that the work be done in accordance
with the specifications.
The secretary to Mr.. Lodge returned to
Washington and Secretary Morton
removed 1t. Walker from the supervision
of the hayward and sent lieutenant
from Portsmouth to take his place. In
quiry as to why 1t. Walker was removed
is replied to at the Navy Department with
the assertion that he was entirely COM
petent and that his work was in the main
satisfactory but that Secretary Morton
found that he had too frequently clashed
with the contractor and that s'in the
interest of peace and harmony" he
had been removed to Norfolk which
was just as good an assignment.
1t is possible that Lieutenant Walker
was somewhat too exacting but when the
foreman representing contractor can
threaten an officer because that officer in
sists that specifications can be observed
to the letter and then procure his re-
moval-or even when his removal follows
Immediately upon such threat-it estab-
fishes custom which is not likely to
make for full measure and flowing over
ON government contracts. Neither is it
likely to encourage young officers in the
proper performance oftheir duty. 1t was,
it will be remembered, the antithesis of
the course of 1t. Walker which resulted
in the downfall of Oberiin NJ. Carter,
who was in charge of the engineering
work at Savannah and who, perhaps as
the result of instances similar to this,
concluded that it would accrue most to
his advantage to slight the government
work and divide the entailed profits with
the contractors, Green and Gaynor.

The Best Way to Improve Farms.

The amount of produce that can be grown on
well enriched. thoroughly pulverzed soil, is
something beyond the knowledge of the slip-shod,
careless farmer. Land farmed intelligently can
be cropped year after year. and instead of deter
iorating it can be made to grow larger and more
profitable crops.
The intelligent dairyman can raise two and in
some instances three, forage crops, off of the same
land during the season, or in other words, he
farmer will raise on three, and this at a great
saving of labor. If the land is pastured, by care
full attention to Details not allowing the grass to
be eaten too close, instead of pasturing our NOV
ground we should clip it off and allow the clip
pings to lay as a mulch to the young grass which
we will find will make the hay crop the coming
season more than thirty per cent better than If it
was pastured off, We spread the droppings of the
cattle over the sod frequently feeding grain to
the cattle at least once day, thereby greatly en-

well as increasing the quantity and quality of the

Every intelligent farmer knows the value of

grown on thin. gravelly or white land. An old
and well-to-do dairyman said recently that he
"wonid rather have one ton of clover hay that
was grown on rich land, than two tons grown on
thin land" He also said that "a boned blue

read and approved.
The resignation of j. Harry
Poist was read and accepted.
The first subject brought up for
discussion was fall and spring plow
ing and the opinions expressed diff
fered as to which was the better
course to pursue.
Harry Maxwell said he had a
patch of excellent clover upon
which his cows were pasturing and
giving 116 pounds of butter per
week. He asked if he could pas
ture it close and rely on it to afford
good pasture next year.
He was advised to pillow it down
and let it seed itself again later
when needed.
Several members stated they had
spread oat straw and got excellent
results from it as fertilizer, al
though j. T. Grove said he had
tried it without any beneficial
results.
R. T. Cameron said he had
planted three acres in potatoes,
upon portion of which he had
used hen manure and 400 pounds
of plaster. On the remaining por-
ton he had used Griffith & Boyd's
potato grower and ashes. The
former was showing the best re-
suits so far on the potato crop.
Lloyd Balderst6n was of the
opinion that plaster absorbed the
ammonia from the manure and did
not advise using them together.
Wayne Reynolds said he always
planted corn before May 10th and
A. B. McVey said he never planted
until after that date, both claiming
good results.
Jos. S. Scarborough related an
instance of a neighbor getting an
increased wheat crop from the
same ground for three successive
years. The first year he got only
IL bushels, the second year As and
the third year Sc bushels.
The host when called upon for
his essay responded with the fol-
lowing:

AN ASPHALT LAKE.

The Way the Stuff Is Mined and Pre'
pared for Market.
The largest South American asphalt
lake, In Venezuela, consist Of a dark
brownish deposit Of semifluid and
semi solid substance surrounded by
banks from three to six feet high.
In the center Of this lake Is continual
election of hot fluid asphalt, accom-
panied by large bubbles Of gas.
The dark skinned workmen excayate
it in pieces weighing in the neighbor-
hood of twenty-five pounds, sections
40 feet in area and about four feet deep
being worked at one time. AS quick
ly as freed from its surroundings II
Is placed In large tubs, resting upon
small flat topped tram cars operated
upon a narrow road. The entire surface
Is constantly moving, thus necessita-
ting q continual relaying OF the tracks.
The freshly excavated asphalt Is
conveyed to the shore, where the tups
are lifted by hydraulic power to an
aerial tramway, by which II Is con-
veyed to the large wharf situated on
the Guanero river, about five miles
distant from the lake. Here II Is weigh
ed and dumped into vessels which
convey ii to the foreign lands.
Upon its arrival at a factory II IS
heated until the water Is expelled and
and the earthly material cast to the
bottom of the large watts, and II Is
poured through a sieve into barrels,
where 1t solidifies. It is then ready
for commerce.-New York Tribune.

THE JOKE ON THE JUDGE.-A CORES
pondent Of Law Notes writes Of the
administration of justice in a certain
insular possession Of the United States
when the island was under Spanish
rule. Judge had had a quarrel
with an editor. The judge arranged
with q hoodlum to insult the editor in
order to provoke him to a breach Of
peace. A. policeman to arrest the
editor was a part Of the "plan." The
plot was carried out, but the editor
kept his temper. The officer arrested
him none the less. He was hailed
before Judge z, who found there was
no case. The judge took from the
drawer of his desk q revolver, silver
plated and beautifully inlaid with
gold and mother-of-pearl showed 1t
to the prisoner and informed him that
the policeman had delivered the
weapon to him as one taken from the
person Of the defendant, and asked
him what he had to say to the
charge of carrying arms. The editor
examined the weapon, put 1t in his
pocket, admitted that he had had 1t
in his possession, produced a permit
from the Spanish authorities to carry
arms, and with true Castilian polite
ness, bowed himself out and off with
the judges beautiful pistol.
