Taft is opposed to the policy of retain
ing any number of troops in San Fran
cisco engaged in the work of relief and
restoration He believes that these
duties should be taken up by the citi-
Zens of San Francisco themselves. The
longer the Amy stays there the more
danger there is of conflict of author
ity between the municipal officials and
the officers of the army. It is also
felt that tho people of San Francisco
would be much more self-respecting II
they are shculdered with the respon-
sibility Of maintaining order and re-
lieving the suffering.
The conduct of the army officers and
men In the great disaster in San
Francisco aas done much to restore to
the army the confidence and respect OF
the people, and particularly OF mem-
bers OF congress It had become the
habit of some congressman and sena-
tors on all occasions to decry the
American soldier. When the news came
of the wiping out OF the Moros at
Mount Dajo in the lrf ''nes there
was renewal of the criticism of the
army and III outcry against the bru-
tality and cruelty Of the soldiers. This
has all been hushed. When the same
soldier, because those stationed on
the Pacific coast are Of the same army
that has occupied the Philippines,
went into the burning city, rescued
men, women and children, went hum
cry that others might eat, and neith-
er slept nor rested night nor day
there was nothing heard about the
brutal soldiers.
The employment of the army in this
| work was without warrant of law, but
no violation of red tapeism ever met
with so hearty approval or commanded
SO much respect in congressional and
| administration circles where the well
fare of the soldier is supposed to b
in charge.

Tophcs OF INTEREST TO THE PLANTER, STOckMAX AND TRUCK GROWER

to the ways of wisdom and 1ndepenu-
ence. Farmers, wake up and go 10
doing. The cowpea is the easiest crop
to grow that you can plant and one
of the very best. The pea is fine food
for man and all your farm animals.
The vines make n of the very finest
hays for all your stock; and the vines
and the roots form L of b very
finest and the cheapest fertilizers you
can return to your soil. Our advice IS
to grow peas; feed your stock with the
peas and vines and return the manure
to your soil. We figure it i'll this a
one ton of peavine hay fed to cattle IS
worth. as food and manure, at least
SIS. A farmer should want all in any
product which he raises, that there is
in it for him, and hence should FEED
his peavines. But if he does not care
to keep so many cattle, the peavines
and roots, after the peas are gathered
for reseeding, are worth $3.50 per ton
as manure to the land when plowed I'M
| der. While st is better to have n
$15, it is worse than folly to lose the
$3.50. Any farmer al grow a ton OF
peavines cheaper than he can buy a
| 2OO-pound sack Of guano. We meet
men every day, who tell us how they
can tell to the very row, in their grow
ing crops, where their peas were plant
ed last year. We know labor is scarce,
but this is all the greater reason for
| planting peas, so as to increase the
yield of cotton and corn upon the land
you do cultivate. So, whatever the
nature or extent of your farm opera
tons, plant peas. The peas themselves
are as saleable as cotton. Every good
sized farm should have a pea thresher:
and twenty-five or fifty extra bushels
of peas, over your demands for home
sowing, will bring more than that
many dollars to buy some needed
household goods or your family a new
suit around. If you are a stocE: farmer,
plant peas-if you are a cotton farmer,
plant peas-if you are a fruit grower,
plant peas-if you are a trucker. plant
peas-if, finally, you are in sympath!
with the best interest Of the South and
have any regard for the fertility OF
your soil, plant peas. This is a com
mon ground, where we all a ant
should meet, and as the COwpea a 81
planted n time from the first Of Ma!
to the first of August, we call upon al
to remember to plant as many peas a
possible-sow them after your grain
} put them in your corn; plant them be
tween your treez; SOW them in you
melon patches, and plant them upol
: every available space you can fnd t
put them upon Then will our soil b

Feeding Young Chickens.

Let's begin with the chickens just
Matching. We will leave them in the
nest until the last one out of the shell
is fully twenty-four hours old, and they
are all bright and active. Then we
should take the hen and her brood to a
coop with double apartments, that Is
a place snug and warm for her TO
hover the chicks in, and a box ex'
II nsion with but a small entrance to 1t
from the coop proper.
The first thing in the way of eeding
should be to give the mother all the
grain she will eat, and water her, too.
Then scatter a little feed in the same
apartment for the chickens, so that she
may help in learning them to eat.
Their first feed should be of hard boiled
egg, cooked potato and corn, or oatmeaI
mixed up in a crumbly state.
Then after the chicks are a day oA
| two old, open the passway to the outer
| GOOD. which should be we'll lighted
and feed the little chickens in there.
After the chickens are two or three
days old, the egg food may be dropped
and a mixture of cornmeal, sIgLtly
marched. boiled potato and pure White
bran. may be given them. And then
at the end of a week or less time, the
meal may be parched and fed to the
chickens with millet seed, hnely
cracked wheat, etc., scattered in clover
hulls. mr. other fine litter in the outer
COOP. They will take to it naturall1
and will scatch like beavers for ii.
In the meanwhile, after being IRON
the nest & few days, a runway shoult
be made Tor the hen and her brood
so that they may get out into the sun
light and air and exercise naturally
If this system is followed. there VII
be but very little loss of the chicken
hatched.-H. B. Geer, in Southern Cui
tivatOr.

SHOT EAGLES FROM A TRAIN.
The Train Was Moving and the Feat

The Train Was Moving and the Feat
Was Done With a Rifle, Honest.
When the Missouri Pacific passen-
ger train was speeding on its way
westward last Friday forenoon, Tom
Kinney, a baggageman, saw an eagle
perched on the Sross arm of a tele-
graph pole some distance east of
Kingman and made the remark to
himself: "I1l get that fellow this
evening" He informed the train crew
Of che prospect ahead, and the engf
neer and fireman agreed to be on the
tookout on the return trip in the even,
Ing, and If it should prove that the
Mr.. Eagle in question was still there
a little Of the air pressure would be
applied and the train brought down to
about fifteen miles an hour, so as to
give Tom the tip of the birds pres
ence as well as a fairly good chance
10 e what he could do with a rifle.
When the train arrived near the
place mentioned N the evening, not
only the eagle of the morning was in
sight but it's mate had also come and
taken up q position at the other end
of the telegraph pole cross bar. Tom
was given the tip by the steam being
applied and ne made ready for action.
The boys say that when Tom fired the
two shots it sounded almost like one,
so quick did they follow in succession,
and the result was that botn birds
descended to mother earth, each pierre
ed by a bullet. They were taken on
board the train and Tom was the
hero of the hour. And a feat in shoot
ing of this kind is certainly worth
mentioning. The writer saw the two
victims of Toms deadly aim in the
baggage car the next day and they

eat all times and to all people l am

torture of hades, about the year 1900, with
itching on my scalp and temples, and at

my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs.
I then went to a surgeon, whose treat
nent did me no good, but rather aggra-
waited the disease. 1 then told him L
would go and see a physician in Erie. The
reply was that l could go anywhere, but
q case of eczema like mine could not be
cured; that l was too old 1907. L went to
an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for six months, with
like results. / had read of the Cuticura
Remedies, and so / sent for the Cuticura

tinued taking the Resoivent until L had
taken six bottles, stopping it to take the

two baths a day, and at night L let the
lather of the Soap dry on. L used the
Ointment with great effect after washing
in warm water, to stop the itching at
once. l am now cured. The Cuticurs

Manurins Cotton.

&ONOOAs
AZ this a of the year many OF
us are considering methods of fer
tlizing our various field crops, and
cotton largely enters into this dis
cussion and thought. While a great
deal Of experimental work has been
done looking to mastering some OF
these fertilizing problems. it still re-
mains a fact that we are very largely
In the dark about fundamental prin-
ciples of manuring.
As q rule our cotton lands require
phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash.
Neither phosphoric acid nor potash
gives as good results when used alone
as when combined with each other.
Phosphoric acid alone largely sur
passes no manure; but it is doubtful
if potash alone is of any value. Nj
trogen when combined with phosphoric
acid and potash shows marked effects,
but small favorable results when used
alone. While it is true that nitrogen
in some soils Shows good results, yet
phosphoric acid on the whole seems to
be the controlling ingredient in in
creasing the yield. So far as fertiliz-
ing goes, kainit and muriate seem to
be about equal, while cottonseed meal
and nitrate of soda are, in proportion
to content, popular forms of nitrogen
because of their value.
Now, how much manure shall we
add? That depends. Fertilizers pay
best OF lands in good mechanical con
| dition and we'll improved. Just as you
cannot fatten a very lean animal IL
a few weeks by large quantities OF
food. SO you cannot in a very shor'
while force land into immediate fer
tility by any unusual quantity of chem
cal For that reason, tneh
we must keep within moderate ex
tremes if our land is not under a hlgf
state of cultivation.
A second question is, docs u
dosings of fertilizers pay" We hav'
experiments both in favor OF ant
against double dosings. While nltrat
