..Don'ts" Concerning the Cow.

Don't be unkind to the milk COW.
Don't allow cows to sleep in a muddy
shed: '1'
Don't permit the COW to drink i'm
pure water.
Don't use a club, but kind words in
stead.
Do not feed the milk COW rotten
or decayed corn.
Don't allow Your finger nails to grow
long if you are a daily mixer.
Don't allow any loafers around when
milking, such as dogs, children or cats.
Don't fail to keep some sort of salt
handy so the COW may have free access
to it.
Don't. when milking, beat the COW
for stepping backward when flies are
numerous.
Don't expect a COW to give as much
milk when half fed as when properly
cared for.
Don't allow your cows to be chased
nv dogs or be hurried when going to or
from pasture.
Don't milk until dusk during the hot
months so as to avoid the presence of
the flies which so vigorously attack the
COW just before sundown.-Indiana

How to Apply Fertilizers.

Should fertilizer be applied in the
hills or broadcast? 1t may not be a
mistake to apply very little over each
hill as a starter but it is better to
broadcast. All fertilizer must be dis
solved before it can be utilized and
the greater the surface over which it
is spread the more water it will re-
ceive. The roots of nearly all plants
spread and grow pear the surface, and
have as great feeding capacity off from
the plants as near them. To apply fer
tilizer in the hills is to concentrate it,
and much of it will be unused or lost
The best results are obtained when it
is distributed over the surface and har-
rowed in to be carried down by the
rains.

TIE BOOM IN JAPAN.
Tremendous Commercial Impetus Given
by the Late Wax.

~ t+@S @@S%NS ~ 49,
In the course Of remarkable article in
Appieton's Magazine Tor June, Thomas
t. Willard tells some strange truths
about Japan. Incidentally he says:
The tremendous impulse c-ivc2 to com
mercial and industrial activities i'll ia
pan since the war has attracted much at
tentlOn, and been the cause of much COM
mcut. usually optimistic. Since peace
was declared 0aking the latest official
statement there have been 314 new en-
terpriSes capitalized or old capitaliza-
tions increased. with an aggregate CAPT
tai Of S19T151 ,514 gold This is nearly
One-third the total capitalized industry
Of the country previous to the war. The
enterprises represented III this enormous
capitalization cover a wide field, but they
nearly all belong in the category of what
may be termed modern Industries, in the
sense applied in Japan. For instance,
there are tifty-one new electrical com
panieS with an aggregate capital Of SOD
100000 gold; ten new navigation and
dock companies with 4 total capital of
$2O,OCOOOO; ) new insurance companies,
with a total capital of S1,5OO,OO0. New
banking concerns aggregate q capital of
ST 100000. There are eleven new steam
railway companies, with S10OOO.OOO cap
ital; fourteen new mining companies,
with $500 600 capital; while old c0rpO-
100000. To many Of them direct govern
ment assistance is being given, while
nearly all Of them have had or hope to
secure stimulation through the govern
ment by indirect methods.
This enumeration Of the new CONNER
cial activities of the nation does not how
ever include the greatest enterprise or
all. This is the national corporation,
with a proposed capital of $100,OOO,OOO
gold, for the purpose of pushing Japa-
nese commerce and interests in Korea
and Manchuria. This great company, i'll
so far as its components have become
public, is to include the government
with all the associated interests it can
marshal, and is to be thrown open to
popular subscription, with a view to in
ducing the common people and middle
classes to invest, thus enlisting their
sympathy and rect pecuniary interest
in the success of the scheme"

that she would have to lie down for
the rest of the day.
AT last l persuaded her to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so and has used
Postum ever since: the result has been
that she can now do her work. can sit

Fourteen very high-class yearling colts,

At the present time seven very fine

the indications are that they are supe-

been entirely overlooked by the engi-
neers. as far as is shown by their pub

the rapidly rotating armature of an cleo

line of motion and resists very strongly
any attempt to swerve it in any direction
from that line.

Fattening the Bride.

In Tunis. when man wants to take
another wife, he picks out a girl. and
then carries to her father a pair of
of the other ladies of his household.
The bracelets and anklets are slipped
on the young woman, and several
months are allowed for her fattening.
She must fatten until she completely fills
the four ornaments, or otherwise the
man has Il right to refuse her.
For in Tunis fat is beauty, and a
permanently slender girl has no chance

HARTMAN
 IS INDICTED Other Railroad Officials
 Also Mentioned. SHIPMENT LAWS VIOLATED Indictments Embrace One Hundred and Forty Counts. It Is the Making of a Lower Rate Than the Published Tarin That
 Has Caused The Inves-
SHIPMENT LAWS VIOLATED

San Francisco. Sept. 2T.--Accordin9 to a report in circulation here. six in- dictments were found yesterday by the Federal grand jury against the Pa. cifc Mall Steamship Company and the Southern Pacific Company. In these indictments the names of Edward H. Hartman John C. Stubbs and R. F. Schwerin, 1t is understood, are msn- toned.
 The indictments. 1t Is said. embrace 140 counts and relate particularly to violations of the law on shipments from the Orient through the port of San Francisco to Chicago.
 It Is the making of a lower rate than the published tariff on which the indictments have been based.
 Southern Pacific officials are said to have admitted last night that prior to the enforcement of the new rate law. they had not been strictly living up to the three days notice provision of the old law, because of the impoa~ slbility of doing so and retaining their share of Oriental shipments to this country in competition with foreign lines.
 They insist, however, that since the new law has gone into effect they have not made lower one than the pub- lished one and have not violated tue law.

MR. COX IS
 BOSS AGAIN Heads Cincinnati's Pol-
 itical Machine. HE IS UNFRIENDLY TO TAFT Turns Down Nomination of Iudgs
 Howard Ferris. With COX Again In the Political saddle, There is No Telling What May Develop
BY J. R. HoRNADY

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 2S.-(Special.)- George B. Cox, whose forced retire. ment from the head of the Cincinnati Republican banquet board, has been a matter of national congratulation upon more than one occasion, Is again pre- siding over the pie counter, and no miracles are wrought in the dtstribu- tion of the loaves and fishes without his approval
 The fact that Cox is again in control of the local machine has been suspected for some time but it has been made certain by the turn down just given Judge Howard Ferris, of the Superior Court, who, to his surprise and to the amusement of his friends. will not be renominated. Judge Ferris attributes his approaching retirement to the fact that he nominated Amor Smith for Southern Railroad trustee. without con- sulting Cox.
 Judge Ferris, in speaking of the sub ject, said that he heard Judge Hosea was to be retired and he called on Cox to learn what there was to the story. He then learned that neither he nor Judge Hosea were considered by Cox to be entitled to a second term. Cox told him neither he nor Hosea would be candidates" Up to that time. Judge Ferris thought there was no doubt about his renomination. but as soon as Cox expressed himself he decided not to enter the race. This remarkable tribute to the power of the man lately known as the former boss" is regard ed as conclusive evidence that the former" portion of the phrase may we'll be dropped.
 The blow that was supposed to have put Cox out of business on the last oc- casiou, was delivered by Secretary Taft, whose famous speech just prior to the last municipal election, in which he roasted Cox to a finish, is said to have resulted in the Democrats capturing the city from the Republicans. This speech, by the way, may yet cut a large figure in the presidential race of Mir. Taft.
 With Cox again In the saddle In the County of Hamilton, there Is no telling what may develop. Tn this connection. 1t is said that Secretary Taft did not have the least Idea that he would be q presidential candidate when he became so bitter in his arraignment of the Cin- cinnati boss. At that time. it is said he expected to become Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court-an ambition that could be furthered with out the assistance of any State politi- elan, however powerful Many believe that If he could have looked into the future, he would have hesttated before aiming a blow at the Cincinnati ma chine that completely annihflated It for a time.

 The officials say that while the law was technically violated the fact that the husband and father Is a man of reputable character and able to pro- vide for his family the infraction of the regulations will be overlooked.
