Alderman Beach was missed from the last meeting of the aldermen, and upon inquiry it was learned that the alderman is taking a course in calls thenics at New York with view to fitting himself for the physical exam ination which he will have to undergo before he steps into Superintendent Egan's shoes as head of the police de- partment. providing the healing act now before the city government should not be acted upon favorably. After good deal of quibbling repub~ licans are beginning to admit that the safety board made mistake in the method pursued with reference to the election of superintendent of police and that the job will have to be done over again when the proposed ordin- ane becomes operative. This will do away with the physical examination and other things in that line so that everything will be in running order by next October.

The republicans think they see a worthy mar for leader of the party in the aldermanic chamber in the person of E. o. Goss. but from all accounts they will have to look somewhere else, for Mir Goss is reported to have given it out that he hasn't time to attend to the job just now.

Practical Farm Experiments.

OF the various publications Of the
Department of Agriculture the mos
useful and probably the most popular
Is farmers bulletin issued five oil
six times a year on experiment station
work. practical Farm Experiments
would probably be a comprehensive
title for these bulletins, as each
pamphlet of about 80 pages is CON-
posed of dozen or fifteen short de-
scriptions of practical farm matters,
the outcome of the experiments and
tests of the variocs government ex-
pertinent stations all over the coun ~.
Their value lies largely in the fact
that each article is only a couple of
pages in length and it can be picked
up and read through at odd moments,
whereas when farmer receives a
longer bulletin he is more likely to lay
1t away for some future reading when
he has more time, and as time is usu-
ally pressing on the farm, it is likely
never to get read at all.
Farmers Bulletin No. 233 is the
last issue of these bulletins and its lit
tie. stories are decidedly interesting.
Information given on the root system
OF field crops will be surprise to
probably even some of the best in
formed farmers. An illustration Is
shown of corn roots as they occupy
the ground in the corn rows. 1t shows
a myriad of small rootlets. entirely en-
comprising the ground in every direc-
ton for a depth of almost four feet.
The root systems of various other
plants are described. Wheat roots oc-
cupy the ground to depth of four

Coffee For the Army.

The yearly contract for supplying
coffee for the United States Army is
about to be let by the Quartermaster
General, and the Department of Ag-
riculture has been called upon to de-
eide which brand shall be purchased
This test was made under the super
vision of DR.. Wiley, Chief of the Bu-
reau of chemistry. He selected a jury
of veteran coffee drinkers who know
and can tell good coffee from bad by
flavor and by the odor with the pot at
probably hundred yards distant. The
jury assembled in DIR. Wiley's office,
where the bureau cook had prepared
several small lots of coffee from the
samples submitted. They were tested

OLD AGE PENSION.
Much Attention Given in France to
the Care of the INDECENT.

France evidently does not believe
that the old should be chloroformed
and put out Of the way, for, according
to official reports received from United
States officials located at Paris, that
government has a system of pension
ing for the aged. For more than a
century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
giving an annuity to the old, not, how
ever with entire success.
At the present time deposits are re-
ceived from any person, regardless of
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs ($96.50) in the course of a
year. An "eount may be opened for a
child of three years of age married
woman may deposit money without her
husbands consent. At any age be-
tween fifty and sixty-five Tor earlier
in case of permanent disability to
work. the depositor may claim his an
nuity, which is calculated according to

Il,
the cmount of his deposit and interest
and the probabilities Of life, but the
annuity may not exceed 1000 francs
(s231.G0).
In rural districts the tax gatherer is
empowered to receive deposits, and in
many factories certain percentage is
deducted from the wages and paid to
the Caisse in the workman's name. A
branch Of the Caisse may be founded
in any town or village, with the per-
mission of the project of the depart
ment, and there are about $500 of such
branches, with nearly 100000 de-
positors.
There are several large institutions
for the care of the INDECENT aged. Some
OF these are free and al others a small
charge is made for board and lodging.
At Issy, near Paris, is an institution
for widowers, widows, or married
couples, of whom both are over sixty
five years of age and who have been
married at least fifteen years.
There are many small institutions
founded by private persons for old
officials, at some of which the charge

Salt Not Needed For Asparagus
Another short article is on the Pop
Ier Fertilizers for Asparagus. Although
salt has been considered a time-hon-
ored necessity for this crop, it has
been found that asparagus will yield
as we'll without as with it except for
the fact cnat the ga. prevents the
growth of weeds.
Growing Mushrooms for Home Use
is another short article and Onion
Culture covers another. Another
short article gives the remarkable re-
suits of forcing early Thubarb with
ether.
Raising Calves on Skim Milk, sup
|plemented, of course, by grain, is an
instructive little article, covering the
results of experiments in this line in
the government stations in Iowa, Ida
no, Kansas, Nebraska and Utan. En-
tire success has been had with the
skim milk diet and the practice is
considered even more desirable by
some authorities than allowing tie
youngsters to have natural milk.
Other topics discussed are Noodles,

housewives and some manufacturers

plants, representing about 100 diff i

plants, representing about 100 diff.
erent varieties. Many of these are
the product of the governments gar
deners, artificial pollenation and cross
breeding valuable varieties, bringing
about most startling results. This
year the most successful of the de-
partment's efforts is a magnificent vel
low flower fully ten inches in dame
ter. The petals are extremely heavy,
well shaped and all in all the bloom
is huge ball of molten gold. The
flower is not merely one for show;
florists who have seen it declare that

The Mrs. Roosevelt Chrysanthef~um.
Secretary Wilson was so pleased
with this Seeding of 1905" that he
authorized it named Mrs. Roosevelt,
in honor of the first lady of the land.
But the departments experiments
along the line of chrysanthemum
crossing are not always success.
Last spring efforts were made to
cross two varieties-Merza and Lieu
tenant-Colonel Du Croisset-the lar
gest of the white and yellow kinds
with the hope of producing a combina-
ton of value. When the flower of the
new plant unfolded itself it presented
an ugly mass or brown, red, yellow
and white, and of but ordinary size
1t had gone back. Other hybrids have
a tendency to go back to single petal
varieties and to distinctly different
color from the parents. And yet each
year the efforts of the government
gardeners are rewarded, even though
they produce one good specimen, by
obtaining a chrysanthemum of rare
beauty and shape.
