NO ANTI AMERICAN
SENTIMENT
LoNGw0RTHS FIND EUROPEANS
EXTREMELY FRIENDLY TO THIS
coUNTRy-REGARD AMERICANS
WITH OPEN ADMIRATION.

NEW YORK, Aug. l5,-Discussing bis
European trip. while in town yesterday,
Congressman Nicholas Longworth said:
Il did not find any Of the anti-American
sentiment, which some notable Ameri.
cans have recently discovered on the
other side. On the contrary l found
everyone extremely friendly to this
country. Wherever we went we found
only the profoundest respect and ad-
miration for this country and every
thing American. Industrially, they re-
gard us as phenomenal. and politically
and socially they have nothing but re.
speet. Our prosperity and capacity for
development are amazing to Europeans
The beef exposures created sensation
in England and for time there was
much talk concerning them. But grad
ually the feeling of resentment died out
and I do not think the incident will
have any lasting effect on the American
beef business. In Germany and France
l heard practically nothing about the
exposures. The matter was commented
on in the House of Commons and the
government was asked to what use in
the army the American beef was put.
There was much hysterical sentiment
but it ealmed down after the action
taken by Congress. The belief there
is that the evils could and would be
remedied by publicity

Littlefeld is Respected.


While we are on the subject it perhaps
would not be amiss to take a look at
this man LittIefeld, whom the labor
unions are trying to defeat. The unions
have just grievance against him, there
isn't any doubt of that He fought the
measures they counted SO essential to
their welfare, and fought them hard.
Yet Littlefield has the respect of these
labor leaders who are trying to unseat
him. Why? Because he fought them in
a straightforward, manly way. Little
field hits hard, and when he is in action
there is something about his personality
that is very irritating, that makes you
want to swear or get up and heave i
brick at him. But no one ever accused
Littlefeld of striking an unfair blow. No
one ever accused him of having a motive
for a public course other than his con-
yiction of right and wrong.
Littlefeld began life as a stonecutter.
He polished stones, but took little of
the polish to himself. He is rough and
angular and the sharp corners stick out
all over him. When other men brush
against these corners they get mad and
say things; but Littlefeld doesn't care.
He is able of that there is no doubt.
When he came to Congress brilliant
career was predicted for him. It has
been brilliant in way, but his speech
lis too blunt and his honesty too militant
for marked success in the House of Rep
resentatives, as now constituted.
Littlefeld, too, it would seem, belongs
to this new school of politics. A great
majority Of The members Of the House
of Representatives do not. It is not
necessary to say more.

PhOSphoric

Il can readily be seen from this
statement that hen manure has a real
value as a fertiizer-ranking quite
high above all the other manures-
and because Of this fact it should re-
ceiTe the best of care, and be used to
the greatest possible extent, for when
such is not the case it is equivalent to
throwing money away. Hen manure
loses its nitrogen very rapidly, as
well as easily. unless proper precau-
tons are taken to prevent it. This
may be accomplished by scattering a
liberal amount OF straw, or some other
good absorbent under the roosts.
When this is removed from the house,
for the sake Of cleanliness, stack or
pile it up, so that the least amount
surface is exposed to the atmosphere

ADVANTAGE OF THINNING
AppI RS

At meeting of the Michigan Hor.
ticultural Society, TheO. Wade told of
his experience in thinning apples dur
ing the last season. Their orchard O.
sixteen acres was set in 1880, and dur
ing the past season gave them a net
profit Of S125 per acre. He said that
as the season advanced and the limbs
began to bend with their loads, it
looked like a hercuiean task to under
take to thin such mass of fruit.
They succeeded in thinning four rows
about half way up the tree, at an ex-
pence Of $40, and when the time for
picking came the results were sur
prising. The fruit on the thinned por-
ton was nearly all first-class, while
on the unthinned portion Of the trees
and the remainder of the orchard
there were quantities of culls, not
wormy, but imperfect, understood
fruit. He estimated that $40 expended
in thinning brought him in $1,000 in
cash, and that the neglect to thin the
remainder of the orchard must have
lost to him a great deal more than
that amount.
