He also made the statement that the people of South Carolina would make that state red with blood if any attempt was made to blacken 1t by giving the negroes a vote, At this point voice cried out! How about the law ?" "To hell with such a law" replied the speaker.
 Speaking of the counting out oi Justice Barrett, colored, by the election board in Chicago, he said that the voters did not know what they were voting for, and if they dld they should be cheated He said that the caucasian race was made from better clay than the mongolian or african, and that the latter were only intended for bur- den carriers Ti1lman stated that the people o tlie North by th..r tr-atment of he colored people were responsible for the assaults on the white women of the South, u lh" detectives will remain with Iillman until he takes the train for Fondulac today.

Coal Famine

Seattle, Nov 2S-As a result of the stoppage of. traffic on the rail- roads, caused by the recent floods here IS a bad coal famine here. Fully one-ffth of the people are out of fuel and the balance are running short. The usual supply IS coming, but has been all spoken for, orders being hooked for all that will be received for the next 30 days. The demand for wood is so great that 1t cannot be delivered fast enough.
 Washington. Nov. 28 - Before leaving the cruiser Louisiana, Roosevelt addressed the sailors. saying that he was proud of the navy of the United States, and that in Washington, where he has control he will revoke the license of any place which refuses admit tance to sailors on account of their uniform. He said he would also use his influence in other places The effectiveness of the forces must be maintained at ali times as in case of war 1t would then be too late to bring the standard up.

waste Of Corn Fodder.

Thousands of dollars are annually
wasted in this country through igno-
rance of the value of corn fodder. The
experiment stations have made repeat
ed efforts to bring the farmers to fully
realize this fact, but only with partial
success. Dr. H. J. Waters, dean of the
Missouri College Of Agriculture, when
asked his opinion on the subject said:
"The waste of corn fodder in the
great corn belt is stupendous and APP
pals the eastern farmer, who perhaps
more fully realizes it's immense value
for wintering steers, as he is himself
compelled to carefully preserve all
stock food Of whatever nature pro-
duced on his farm. He so fully appre-
ciates its value as feed for cattle when
fed in conjunction with timothy hay
and silage that the fact that his west
ern brother allows 1t to go to waste
looks TO him like sheer madness.
'The wasteful methods so long fol
lowed and so famous on the rich soils
of the Mississippi valley, such as the
burning Of straw, cornstalks, grasses

ration of the bark from the wood The
union of the two, the bud and the
stock, takes place at the edges of the
bark of the inserted bud. For this rea-
son the bud should be inserted as soon
as it is cut from the twig so as to
avoid drying out. In climates having
severe winters budding is most salts
factory when performed near the end
of the growing season. The buds
should be plump and mature when
taken from shoots of the current
years growth. The "bud stocks"
should be cut the day the buds are to
be inserted, trimmed and wrapped at
once in a damp cloth to prevent drying
out. Trimming consists in cutting Off
the leaves, saving bit Of the stem to
use as a handle in inserting. In cut
ting the buds use sharp knife; insert
blade of knife one-fourth inch below
bud, cut upward just behind bud, re-
moving but little Of wood, coming out
about one-fourth of an inch above bud
(see Fig. AZ.
To insert bud make L shaped Incl
sion in stock about two inches above
ground (see Fig. b. With the spatula
of budding knife loosen the lips OF
bark in angle of the L cut and slip in
the bud (see Fig. b. The bud must be
held firmly in place. by a bandage
wound above and below, being care
full to leave the eye of the bud uncov-
cred. Raffia fiber wet, bast, candle

tying. Raffia is usually employed. II

Peaches are budded the same yea
that the pits are planted. AS soon
the seedlings are large enough to hol

After budding examine the stocl

LARGE HOG HOUSE.

The Illinois experiment station gives
the following description Of a large
hog house which is in successful OPP
Grafton:
SanitatiOn.-In order to be sanitary
a hog house should admit the direct
rays of the sun to the floor of all the
pens and exclude cold drafts in win
ter, be dry, free from dust, well ven
tilated and exclude the hot sun during
the summer.

this purpose in view. The building as

Restoring Prairie Soil.

All who have taken up prairie farms
will recognize the truth of the follow
ing statement Of Professor Ten Eyck
Of Kansas in regard to them:
When the wild prairie. is first broken
the soil is mellow, moist and rich, pro-
ducing abundant crops. After few
years of continuous grain cropping and
cultivation the physical condition of
the soil changes-the soil grains be-
come finer, the soil becomes more COM
pact and heavier to handle, it dries out
quicker than it used to and often turns
over in hard clods and Jumps when
plowed. The perfect filth and freedom
from clods, so characteristic of virgin
soils, is always more or less complete
" restored whenever land has been
laid down to grass for sufficient
length of time.

Some years ago neighboring farm
er undertook the renovation of a por-
ton of his pasture that was overrun
with worthless growth. 1t was on the
southern slope Of hill and naturally
a good soil. The piece was fenced and
for two years devoted to crops. No
manure was used, only commercial fer
tilizers
This land was not run out, but sim
ply the grasses had given place to
weeds, brakes and other wild growth.
1t had never been plowed, and the
thorough treatment given resulted in
good catch of grass and was afterward
a fine piece of pasture. This was a
case where moderate amount of la.
Dor and cost transformed an unproduc-
tive field into one Of much value.

the roof on the north side and alley Is
made sleeper so as to have more air
space and good ventilation.
In Fig. 2 is submitted the ground
plan of the hog house. 1t Is 120 feet
long by 80 feet wide and is provided
with an alley which runs lengthwise
through the middle Of the building and
is eight feet wide. This permits of
driving through the building with a
wagon, which allows the feed and bed
ding to be hauled in where 1t is needed
and the manure to be loaded on the
wagon directly from the pens and
hauled to the field.
The pens are ten feet wide and
eleven feet deep. Each pen has q
doorway leading to the outside which
is opened by door sliding upward
There is also a door opening to the alley
on the inside.

FIG. I.-vIEw OF PART OF HOG HOUSE
eight foot alley running lengthwise
east and west with the windows on
the south side. The important factor
to consider in this connection Is the
height of the windows represented at
e and D in connection with the width
and manner of construction Of the
building. The window e is so placed
that at noon of the shortest day of the
year the ray of light which passes
through the upper part will fall upon
the floor on the south side pen on the
opposite side from the window. This
allows the total amount of light COM
ing through the window at this season
of the year and this time of the day
to fall upon the floor within the pen.
In the morning and in the afternoon,
when the sun is not at its highest
point, a part or all of this beam of
light will pass beyond the pen. Con-
sequently during the later winter
months there will be a maximum
amount of sunlight on the floor Of the
pen.
The lower part of the window D In
the upper part of the building per-
forms the same function for the pen on
the north side of the alley as does the
window e for the pen on the south side.
BY this arrangement of windows
there is possible maximum amount
of sunlight on the floor of the pens IN
winter which will serve to warm the
interior of the house and especially the
beds during the latter months of win
ter, thus making it possible to have
. pigs narrowed very early in the season.
Sunlight not only warns and dries the
building, but destroys disease germs,
thus making the building both warm
and sanitary. Sanitation Is further
augmented by the upper part of the
window D, which, when open, acts as
ventilator. 1t is supplied with
weights so that it can be opened and
closed at will by the attendant while
standing on the floor of the alley.
To have this arrangement of win
dows in the latitude above cited, it is
necessary to have the top of the win
dow E, which throws light into the pen
on the south side, five feet six inches
from the floor. The upper window
which throws light into the pen on the
north side, is longer, but point In
this window the same distance above
the lower end as the height Of the win
dow e should be nine feet eight inches
from the floor. This necesstates fla
