Just now as shad are beginning to run
in the Delaware, Ex-Governor ELIHU
JACKSON Of Maryland is quoted as follows:
"A land OF milk and honey has no attrao-
tons for me as long as my land brings forth
plenty of hog jowl and turnip green's
1t sounds like heresy, but thisi ia the season
for jowl and young turnip tops, and no
son of Delaware prefers planked shad to
such a delicacy.

WELLMAN'S EXPEDITION.

The Walter Wellman project to sur
prise the north pole in its lair by
means of an airship is not the wild
eyed Andre sort of an expedition. 1t
has been carefully calculated and the
chances of success have so far Impress
ed scientific men that the American
Geographical society sends a represen-
tative.
Wellman is now on his way to from
soc, Norway From there he will take
the ship Frithjof for Spitzenbergen,
where headquarters will be established
and where Wellman will spend two
years preparing for the flight to the
north The journey to the pole is CAL
culated to be about ten days journey
in a dirigible airship. 1t will be no
light balloon containing a single man
devoting himself to death in a romantic
and impossible venture. Here are
some of the details Of the airship:
Three gasolene motors, two propellers,
a steel boat, motorpropelled sledges,
provisions for five men for seventy
five days, total weight about eight tons.
If the airship fails the motor sledges
will be tried for part of the trip.
The physical endurance Of man has
been found to be equal to the task of
conquering the polar mystery. Here
tofore it has been a question not of
getting men there, but of getting me-
chanical agencies which would
take him there and carry in
addition sufficient supply Of
food. With the Wellman expe-
dition it is question whether the
production Of aerial ships has proceed
ed far enough to insure one which can
be depended upon for long journey.
II Wellman fails to reach the pole
he will undoubtedly learn something
Of value toward the equipment of the
next expedition. The failure of the
first assaults on the north taught men
what sort Of ships to build to get
farther north. From Sir John Frank
Inns ship to Nansen's Fran was an
advance in water navigation. Peary's
various expeditions touched the high
est point of perfection in the dog train
method of approaching the pole. Well

ton of the air.

JUST AS GOOD AS MEETIN',"

The interpresidential campaign this
fall is likely to bring out a flood OF
railroad-rate, constitutional, socialis-
tic and anti-socialistic argument that
will keep the country on edge until 1t
is settled who is to control the next
national house. The arguments are
likely to take a technical turn and
many of us will be affected by them
as was the "colored pusson" reported
by the Washington Star. He says:
Il listen to de arguments
Dat happen day by day.

But likes em anyway.
It's just as good as meetin,'

ment to his has built houses for the
workmen which insures, with a little
attention to personal habits the securi-
ty of health on the canal zone.
In addition, considerable digging has
been done and the railroad has been
improved Mr.. Dension entirely neg
lects the question of the blockade Of
freight, but a recent statement of
Chairman Shonts is to the effect that it
has been lifted. The immediate labor
is the double tracking Of the railroad
and the construction of spur lines in
to the canal work in order to get the
dirt out. Then there is also in Mr..
Dennison's opinion, a pressing duty
resting upon congress to select the
type of canal. The cutting on Guile
bra cannot be much longer continued
profitably in the absence of such in
formation.

THE VETERINARY

Cutting or clipping of warts from
horses or mules is often recommended.
A South Carolina woman says that
greasing the warts three times daily
with pure hogs lard will cause them to
drop of without leaving any sore.
Horse Worm.
Information from the Kansas state
veterinarian in regard to the horse
worm, of which there have been recent
outbreaks, Is to the effect that the
worm passes the greater portion Of its
life in the intestine Of the horse, a part
Of it possibly in the arteries, another
portion in the outer world. The pest
may be found in stagnant water, in
meadows or in any damp place. II
there is sufficient moisture present and
the temperature not too cold it may
live for months. In dry weather or in
the absence of sufficient moisture the
parasite soon dies. The source Of in
lection In the horse, therefore, appears
to be stagnant drinking water, moist
pastures or green fodder.
Overlooking and Scours.
Overlooking Is the most prolific cause
Of scours in calves, says Farm Journal.
For cure stop the food for a day and
then feed moderately until there Is q
recovery.
Tender Shoulders.
To harden the shoulders of horse
see that the collar fits and keep it clean
and dry and air it well every time it is
taken off. Battle the shoulders daily
with a saturated solution of alum or
strong infusion of white oak bark.
Preventive Of Sheep Parasite.
Not to turn sheep on to pasture where
there was stomach worm the preceding
season is the advice of DR.. c. D. Smead
in National StOckman. But II this must
be done then prepare covered box of
salt, in every four quarts of which mix
gill of oil of turpentine or the oil Of
tar This will to a great extent pre-
vent infection.
Inflammation of Eyes.
Epizootic ophthalmia, or contagious
Inflammation of the eye, is common at
this time Of the year. American Sheep
Breeder says it is unusually SO this
season and recommends the following
treatment: Take up the diseased sheep
and keep them In a dark, clean stable.
Give two ounces Of epson salts dis
solved In warm thin Cruel. Apply Bills
ter ointment on the side Of the head
next to the eye and repeat this treat
ment daily for three days. Give thin
oatmeal Cruel for food and drink. The
stable must be kept clean and free
from all strong odors.

The Outlook, discussing great for
tunes, remarks that if Adam had lived
5000 years, working 300 days a year,
and had laid by 500 day, he would
have accumulated no more than the
elder Cornelius Vanderbilt was sup
posed to have made in his lifetime,
about $50, OOO, 000 The outlook In this

DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH.

Mr.. Lindsay Dennison, who went to
the canal zone armed with letter
from President Roosevelt commanding
everybody to tell him the truth, has
returned and printed his observations
in Everybodys Magazine. Mr.. Deni-
son admits that he landed at Panama
very much cast down. He says the
pocket The outside of Panama was
so dismal, the railroad was such an in
describably miserable one that he was
about ready to admit that the knock
ers' brigade" was a martyr to the
truth. But when he reached the scene
of the real work on the canal he was
treasured.
Making allowance for the fact that
the canal is in a tropical country and
must be built under tropical conditions.
he goes on record as believing that
mighty things have been accomplished
The first and great fact is that the
Americans have made the zone fit
place for men to live in. This was.
of course. essential to the construction
of the canal and its neglect was the
prime cause of the French failure.

Large Use of Roots.

To an American the striking features
Of European methods In cattle feeding
are the large use made of roots, lin
seed and cotton cake, the large proper
ton of roughage to concentrates fed,
the dependence placed on pasture and
other green feed, the attention paid to
the preparation of the feed and the
effort to use everything grown on the
farm. Furthermore, although the most
intensive methods are used to fatten
cattle for market, the general tendency
among breeders is to maintain breed
ing stock in good condition, but to
avoid the extremely fleshy condition.
Roots are most extensively used In cat
tie production in England and Scot
land. and these crops are very highly
valued.

fixes his favor on an animal, and these
factors in conjunction produced prices
that have somewhat astonished even
the most sanguine adherents of the
breed.
Comment offered in the London Live
Stock Journal is worthy Of quotation:
Buyers, however, were fastidious.
They will pay freely for what they
want, but they will not look at any
thing else. Fashion is as arbitrary to-
day as it has ever been. A bull must
be short legged, thick fleshed, thick
coated, with a masculine head and
strong. broad, level back. 1t must have
well sprung ribs and Of equal impor-
lance are well covered hooks and nice
" turned tail head. In color it must be
dark red without any touch Of yellow
or a rich dark roam. It must have q
pedigree Of over fifty years in length.
and preferably 1t must be Of Scotch de-
scent or topped with Scotch.
The Color Item.
The Gazette finds it rather odd to
learn that the dark red coat and Scotch
breeding are insisted on in combina-
ton. The mellow yellow reds have long
been in fashion In Aberdeenshire. and
their importation to this country dis
covered real merit as the basis Of their
favor. Years before the dark red hair

statement that the '.fastidious" bidders

freshing note and should ring clear
into the ears Of American breeders into
which straight Scotch has been %

Cling Of Scotch blood with American
families opened the door for the de-
mand for north Britain stocks which
has characterized the trade for years
past. The excellence of the Scotch
