One Wisconsin cooperative creamery of which we read the other day reports a 135 per cent dividend on its capital stock. It was evidently a case in which as directors, by the use of the Babcock test, they practiced a good graft on themselves as patrons, the money made staying in their own pock- cts as managers of the company, there being no complaint against the injus- tice perpetrated.

Some idea of the extent to which the gospel of good roads has been preached and practiced in the southern states Is obtained from an interesting pamphlet lately issued by the good roads office of the department of agriculture. This report shows that there are 5o,0s9 miles of public roads in the state of Ala bama, of which 1.201 miles have been treated with gravel. 392 with stone, 50 with shells and 12 with a sand clay mixture, or 3.4 per cent of the total road mileage. This makes one mile of improved road for every 1,063 inhabit- ants.

AS an illustration of what can be done in the matter of raising high grade and pure bred horses, we note the case of the Michigan farmer who today has a pair of Percheron mares sixteen years old. They have raised their owner twelve pairs of colts, nine of which have been sold for $3,S27.5O, or an average of $425.27 per pair, while there are six more fine colts on the farm too young to market. Quoting the above figures furnishes all the ar gument that is needed to prove the profitableness of this lineS of animal husbandry.

The law requiring the cutting of weeds along public highways between Aug. 1 and 15, In force in some states, would seem to put the time for the doing of this work just about two weeks late, as our observation leads us to believe that the time mentioned finds the common weeds along the roadside pretty well headed out and far enough advanced so that if cut most of the weed seed Is ripe enough to reseed the ground. It would be vastly better if two cuttings were required, one about the middle of July and one early in September. This would nip most of the weeds in the bud and be much more effective in killing them out.

A. recent bulletin issued by the Iowa experiment station on the subject of alfalfa culture condenses the good points of this valuable legume as fol- lows: It yields from two to three times as much as clover and timothy and is at the same time a more valuable hay. It Is rich in protein. For hog pasture alfalfa has no equal. It Is superior to any. other crop for enriching the soil Alfalfa fed In conjunction with corn will maSze most economical gains. The bulletin further states that the grow ing of alfalfa Is entirely feasible for the north half of the corn belt and even more northerly attitudes, provid- ed proper care is exercised In the mat Ser of getting 1t started.

We commend strongly the custom which seems to be coming into vogue of selecting a name for the farm and home and painting the same on neat signboard and posting at the entrance to the place, together with the name of the proprietor. Doing so is quite likely to increase the interest and pride which the owner will feel in keeping the premises In neat and attractive that 1t does pot result in an effort on his part to Faise a few more bushels of corn and orts to the acre and keep better grade of live stock.

AmerIca's Red Record.

In giving some figures about homi- cides in the United States the PhiIa- delphia Record recently said that the American people have the worst re- cord as murderers of any people in the civilized world A few of the figures are here presented. The annual aver age ratio of homicides to population in Germany is thirteen per millIn; in France nineteen per million; in the United Kingdom of Great Britain twenty seven. per million; in Italy 1O5 per million and in the United States 115 per million. There are more than five murders in this country to one in Great Britain and about nine here to one in Germany. In an article upon this same suhte the New Orleans Picayune recently printed a list of eighty-four murders of women by men which have been committed in that city in the past ten years, or an aver age of over eight murders of that class per year. Not one of these male mur- derers of women has ever been execut- ed, few have received even light sen tence, while the great majority have not been punished at all. These facts are. disgraceful to American law and justice

AN ANSWER FILED
 IN INFRINGEMENT SUIT
Charles Gittner Denies the naLufac-
 ture of 'Du such''.

Charles Gittner yesterday filed an answer to the suit brought against him by the Buffalo Specially compa- ny to restrain him from further in- fringement on a device which the plaintiff claims exclusively as it's own by virtue of letters patent from the United States. The patent covers d sort of material generally known as "Go- sock to be used in filling pune tured bicycle tires. l. is referred to in the complaint as the Duryea patent, it having been invented by Charles T.. Duryea. The patent was issued on March ', 1897, to the Indiana Rubber and Insulated Wire com pany, which in November of the following year as signed it to the Buffalo Speciality Manufacturing company. On June 1 of last year it was assigned to the plaintiff.
 It is set forth in the complaint that much time, effort and money have been expended in the preparation of the material for public use, and that it's possession of the exclusive right to make and sell it was never disturbed until MT. Gittner became the solitary fly in the ointment. the single speclI on the plaintiffs horizon of prosperity. It is alleged that he has for some time been engaged in filling tires with the same or similar stuff of his own man ufacture.
 The answer of Mir. Cittner to the complaint consists of a general denial of knowledge as to wha, the plaintiff is driving at. and may be summarized in the following language: ''To hell mt i'm
 MT. Gittner states that some time ago he bought thirty gallons of the stuff from the company. quantity which he thinks, at the present rate of consumption. will last him about two hundred years. He says he has never manufactured any 'do-sock' or anything resembling it. nor has he ever bought any from any other firm than the plaintiff.
 He does not know why the suit nas been brought, unless "it is because I don'd use it more faster una order some more of de shtuff. I ogspect dey t'ink I'm buying it someveres else Dey ain't more as a tousand py- cickles in Phoenix und eferbody don'd won't der tanned shtuff in his veels-'

The Senate and the President.

"The World Today for February re- views the misunderstanding existing and spreading between the president and the republican senators, the review consisting of a labored defense of the president on all points of difference. "The World Today regards the hesita- tion of the senators to confirm all the presidents appointments and to heed the manifold recommendations. not to say demands. contained in his message as a personal attack upon him. The magazine takes up the case or Pres, Agent" Bishop, whose appointment aA a member of the canal commission has resulted in holding up the confirma- tion of the nominations of the other members of the commission. "Ths World Today states that the refusal of the senate to act upon the Bishop nomina tion, though ostensibly based upon objection to the salary he is to receive-S1O.OOO a year is really based upon a desire to spite the president.
 The political editor of "The World Today" has not read to advantage re- ports of recent proceedings in the rem ate. No serious objection has been of- fered to the salaries of the commission There was. though, serious objection to the place which the war department had given Bishop on the commission without any authority whatever. The senate was dissatisfied with the use which Bishop was making of the place, and there was an understanding that his elimination was to be a condition precedent to the senate's most favor- able action in the emergency relief bill. Bishop was removed and the bill was passed. whereupon the president, to the indignation of the senate and the surprise of the country, appointed him to a better position than that from which he had been displaced.
 "The World Today admits that there has been impulsiveness in canal matters on the part of the executive, born, though, of his intense desire to keep things moving while the senate only wants things done when it wants to have them done" As a matter of IdCl, the senate IS lHQulrlnB, among other things, what has been done with all those millions for which it is admit ted there is nothing to show. Why 5000 men were added to the pay roll when there was nothing for them to do.
 'The World Today dealing with the statehood question. naturally takes the presidents side of it, and adds as new argument in favor of jointure that politicians from the states are design ing to create the territories into sepa- rate pocket boroughs. Mayor Rose of Milwaukee, now at Tucson, is cited as one of these designers. Thus is be- trayed a complete misunderstanding of the question since every opponent of jointure admits that there is not the slightest hope of separate statehood. Not a word has been uttered not an act has been committed since the joini statehood project was preached which could be construed to have been in spirded by the thought of any kind oi statehood. There has been only a unan imous prayer to be let alone.
