STANDPAT DAY IN HOUSE.
Republican Members Discuss Tariff
Question.

Washington, May 24.-Previous an
nouncement having been made that
this would be "standpat" day in the
house the galleries we're comfortably
filled and large membership present
on the floor when Mr.. Charles B..
Lands of Indiana rose to speak. The
Republican side gave Mr.. Lands an
enthusiastic reception when that gen.
tleman began his address on the
achievements of the Republican party.
He said that during the last ten years
the Republican party has been faced
with two separate and distinct classes
of problems, those problems growing
out Of adversely and those growing out
of prosperity. When he stated that he
still had faith in the Dingley law the
Republican side gave Mr. Lands a
spontaneous outburst of applause,
which made the Indianan smile appre-
ciatively
Mr.. Lands was followed by Repre-
sentative Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
who denied that the American people
demanded tariff reform.

Entire Business Section of Fairbanks,
Alaska, DESTROYED.

Seattle, Wash, May PA dispatch
to the Post-Intelligencer says that the
entire business section of the town of
Fairbanks, Alaska, was destroyed by
fire which started in the Fairbanks
building, a three-story frame struc-
ture. Nothing was left standing in
the section lying between the water
front and Third avenue and Stacey
and Turner streets. The work of the
fire fighters was centered in the block
Of warehouses owned by the Northern
Commercial company in order to pro-
tect the food supply of the town and
the result is still in doubt.
The loss is estimated at 100000
and it is announced that the heavier
business interests of the town are al
ready planning to rebuild. No lives
were lost,

Small Fruit Farm.

Small fruit culture will bring the
family bigger returns than anything
else about the farm. Knowing this, it
Is strange that so many country people
prefer to buy dried fruits rather than
grow them right in their own gardens.
Any soil that will produce a vigorous
growth of corn and potatoes Will be all
right for fruits. The currant is one
of the most valuable of our small fruits.
1t is hardy, easy to cultivate and yields
abundantly. Good cultivation and Sc
we're pruning will increase the size Of
the fruit. Plenty of old manure should
be spaded In about the roots, and the
On account Of it's hardness the cur
rant bushes are too often left to shift
for themselves, and of course when
left in this condition one need not ex-
pect big, fine-favored fruit. Currants
do best in a somewhat protected loca-
ton.
The gooseberry bushes are also
shamefN1ly neglected, until blight and
disease destroy the prospect Of a crop.
With sensible care, such as pruning,
cultivation and the use Of funglcides,
the culture of this fine fruit may be
made certain and ever remunerative.
So many of the best varieties are af-
fected with mildew, that no n who
expects to get well-developed fruit
should neglect spraying.-Southera

A Freak Statue.

One Of the most interesting freak
statues in England is to the memory
of Sir r. Holmes. 1t Is to be seen In
the church at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight
The funny thing about it is that it was
not originally intended to represent
that naval celebrity. 1t was sculp'
tured for and represented Louis XIV,
of France and was being conveyed to
that country when the vessel contain
ing it (and also the sculptor) was cap
tured by an English ship commanded
by Sir r.. Holmes.
The body was finished, the head be
ing left for completion on its arrival In
France. On learning who it was fol-
the English commander compelled the
sculptor to finish it by chiseling his
(Holmes') head on the Kings body.

RAISING BUGS FOR PROFIT.

W n Feature of the
HT ing Industry in California.
There is a greater variety of plant
Wife in California than in any country
of the globe, excepting, of course, that
of which the Sunset State is a part.
4 One farm near the town of Fresno,
county seat of Fresno County, and in
the center of the great inland basin,
has on it nearly every known variety
of tree. So great is the diversity Of
vegetable life here, says Leslie's Week
iy.
Fresno is also the center Of the raisin
industry of America, which gives en-
ployment at lucrative wages during the
picking and packing season to thou
sands, including the wives and daugh-
tiers of the ranchers, and the annual
products amounts to about $2,5OO,O0O.
The bug-raising enterprise is a part
of the fig-growing industry, which is
reaching large proportions about Fres-
no. One rancher is now setting out in
fig trees alone a single tract of 400
acres. Another orchard owner who has
forty acres in fig trees sells his product
every year for from $4,000 to $4,000.
The Introduction of the Smyrna fig has
necessitated the propagation of the rig
wasp, a tiny insect no larger than a
'gnat. The Smyrna fig is a hollow re-
ceptacle containing nothing but female
flowers, which are inside Of he fig, and
unless these figs are fortified by the
.silittle fig wasp, technically known as the
~blastophagn, grossorum, the figs never
mature, but shrivel up and fall off the
trees when about one-third grown.
The Capri, or wild fig, stands in the
relation of the male to the Smyrna or
female fig, which is the edible fruit.
This Capri fig serves as the home for
the little fig insect which is necessary
for the perfection Of the Smyrna fig.
The p%ollenation of the Smyrna fig takes
place in the following The
Capri fig produces three or four crops
a year, the only one of which is of any
value to the Smyrna fig maturing in
Hume. The little wasp passes out Of
Ithe fig at this time, getting its body
land wings covered with pollen from the
male or staminate blossoms. and enters
tthe Smyrna fig, forcing it's way through
Ehe almost closed orifice and fertilizes
1.-THE female flowers. Having performed
this Office, it passes out OF the fig and
Perishes. There is a nursery ma in
1resno who made a thorough and intel
GENT study of the fig Industry ut Smyr-
ina, Asia Minor, and has imported and
now raises both Canci and Smyrna is
trees. He sells young trees to the fruit
raisers and provides with each lot sold
a supply of little wasps, safely housed
in their native Capri fig homes. AS the
Smyrna is tie finest fs known and in
great demand in the United States
which has hitherto depended on i'm.
portations from Turkey-the industry
in Fresno County is rapidly growing
and the man who sells the bugs, the
fertilizing wasps, is getting rich.

Selecting Seed Corn.

The experiment station of Ohio fur
nishes valuable Information in a bulle-
tin on the selection of corn for seed,
the selection being made during the
growing of the plant in the field, which
ought to have the careful attention OF
growers Of corn everywhere. Taking
Dent corn for the purpose, 1t is scored
as follows: Vigor Of plant, 20 points ;
position Of ear, 5 points weight of ear,
so points; length of ear. 5 points; uni
formity of plant and ear, 10 points,
IND shape of kernel and size of germ,
10 points.
Very important is the note which
gives the disqualifications, as plants
growing under less than normal stand :
plants lying upon the ground or bad
~ broken plants diseased; plants ma
turing too late or too early. To select
the seed corn from such plants is fatal
to the following crop. The vigor of the
plant is indicated by the circumfer-
ence of the stalk below the ear; by its
upright growth and by its leaf devel-
opment and freedom from disease.
The ideal position of the ear is such
that it does not pull too heavily upon
the plant. The weight of the ear is to
be determined by scales when the ear
is thoroughly air-dry.
The plan of uniformity of plant II

vigor Of plant as well as size, shape,
color and indenta:ion o. EAR. Corn

these points, which will mean decided

The value of artichokes is not gen
orally understood. Last spring a Mis-
souri, farmer planted nine bushels
of the tubers on three-Quarters
of an acre and in the fall har-
vested 800 bushels. This would
make 400 bushels to the acre. Some
years ago this farmer raised GOO bush
els on one acre, with but very little
cultivation. Not only do they make
the cheapest, but in many respects the
healthiost hog feed grown, bsing a nat

tbs hogs will do the harvesting, and
after the first year there will be no ne

In case you have overfed chicks on
too much starchy foods iii d;arrhea
has resulted, the following ration has
been found beneficial in correcting the
trouble:
Bran three parts by measure, corn
meal two parts, cut clover two parts,
meat meal one part. Let the birds have
access to this at all times. Feed roots
and cabbage, all they viii eat, and one
full feed q whole grain an hour before
they 60 to roOst. Let this be wheat
one night, barley the next, corn the
third, and then go over the list again.
Give no medicine. Deep litter for exer-
else in getting the grain, with fresh
water several times a day. When the
animal supply Of food has beer too
small the birds fill up constantly OF
starchy foods, o~vertaxing the liver and
digestion. Diarrhea and breakdown are
the natural outcome of this method Of
feeding. Growing birds will stand high
feeding, but when a bird has reached
maturity more careful feeding is re-
nuirad.
