GROWING MiIIot,

In growing millet fertilizers are not
usually applied directly at the time Of
sowing. On most soils the judlclous
use Of fertilizers will greatly Increase
the yield, says New England Home
stead. Use those readily available ow-

which millet makes growth. After
barnynrd manure Is used It should be
Incorporated thoroughly with the sur.

bushels shelled cora per acre. In
some cases the average was over 1856

Of one field Of t~wcnty.eight acres.
From this field Mr.. Long selected one
ear which he considers the most per.
feet ear OF corn ever produced by him.
It Is twelve and a half inches long and
very uniform throughout, with an ex-
ceedlngly small cob. The gralns cover
the very tip and are well rounded.
A Valuable Ear.
The ear measures eight and three
fourths Inches around 1t at the base,
eight and a halt at the center, eight
inches two Inches from the tip, seven
and a half inches one inch from the
tip: grains are ranged in straight,
twenty rows around the cob: kernels
are very deep and uniform. 1t Is one
Of the most perfect ears we have aver
seen. Mr. Long said be would not
take 500 for the ear. The stalk upon
which It was borne was about eleven
feet high, with short, thick Joints; very
broad. dense. green leaves. The eur
was borne about FIVE and a half feet
from the ground. The grower consld-
ers that the stalk and ear represent
the most perfect type Of corn that he
has ever produced.
Selection Of ssed Corn.
Mr.. Long selected the seed corn he
desires to use this spring for his own
planting late last Gall, handling each
ear himself. He took out two or three
grains from the center Of each ear to

POSSIBLE MODIFICATION Or THE DRAGO DOCTRINE
At Least the South Americans Fear That 1t Will be Shorn of Its Protect i've Character.

The Hague. June 24.-General Porter presented a proposition on the subject Of the bombardment of harbors with a view of preventing useless damage and loss of life.
 The American delegation has not yet given out a definite draft of the prop osition for the collection of contractual debts. This is causing some uneasiness among the South American countries, especially a publication this evening of the minutes of June IS from which il appears that General Porter in an- nouncing the American proposition said: The United States will present a proposition for concluding an agree ment in which it will introduce some limitations in using force for the col lection of contractual, public and or dinary debts
 The feeling among certain American powers is that the words some linn itations' show that it is the intention of the United States so as to reduce the Drago doctrine as to deprive it of its original character. thereby destroy ing the purpose for which it was in tended-protection against illicit Eu- ropean interference. General Porter on the other hand, appears to be satis- fled with the work accomplished and is confident of the support of Europe and South American countries in the matter.

Use of Pasteurized Milk Urged as a Most Important Step in Fighting Consumption.

The subject of tuberculosis germs in milk. is one that should. interest every community and is always timely ihere seems to be well founded be- lief that infection from this source can be prevented by pasteurization and some go so far as to urge that people should be forced to use pasteu- rized milk. If they use any. The fol- lowing Is an interesting article on that subject written by William wirt Mills of Atlantic City for .ha latest is- sue of the Pacific Dairy Review:

 Dr. Ernst J. Lederle. former commis- sioner of health of New York City. said that the prevalence of tuberculo- sis in the dairy herds was so great that pasteurizatiop should be Insisted upon in all cases in which there was no proof of the absence of the disease in the herds.

 Mir. Straus said:
 "In the face of these irrefutable conclusions of science, it is criminal folly to rest in the ignorance of the , past and to minimize the danger of raw milk.
 'It is easy enough to get the public to do nothing. This is the tendency of the unfortunate misstatements made by men who are ignorant of these demonstrations. Their careless brush ing aside of the milk peril is calcu- lated to lull the people into sense of security where there Is no safety.
 Regard for human life demands that the proved facts of the peril of tuberculosis in the milk be admitted and declared. not denied.
 "Then the remedy will come in the pasteuriZation of the milk supplies where there is no positive proof of the origin of the milk from healthy cattle and of its protection from infection.
 Ut is significant of the progress that is being made that within the past week two medical commissions one in New York and one in Washing ton-have reported in favor of pasteu- rization.
 With the destruction of the tuber- cle bacilli in the milk it can be safely declared that New YOrk's tubercu- loss record would be impossible.
 "In the past five years. in this city. haP N of fnh culosis of the lungs. and tuberculosis of all kinds caused 47,S31 deaths. which was over 13 per cent of the to- tai deaths from all causes. and 2s per cent of these victims were under twenty-five years of age.
 '1t Is unthinkable that this slaughter should go on unchecked, when science has laid its finger on the common cause of infection. pointing to the tubercle bacilli in the milk bottle.
 But the ravages of this disease will go on until every mother knows that it is a crime to give her child raw milk. and until the health authorities recognize that their first duty is to prevent the people. practically all of whom use raw milk, trying to subsist upon a diet of consumptive germs.
 "Gentlemen. you are leading the world in this fight against tubercu- losis by warning on the tubercle ba- cilli in the milk bottle. and l leave with you the one word that is the key note of success-prevention.'
