Says my friend, the editor of the
Farm and Ranch, of Dallas, Texas,
whom | meet almost every year at the
session of the National Editorial As
sociation, where "Here's looking at
you," is so frequent a salutation, "We
have received three sample bottles of
wine from the Bozarth vineyard label
ed American claret, pure raisin, and
wine of kaki (made from Japanese
persimmons). These are very clear
domestic wines, but we are unable to
pass on their technical merits. Our
wits are clear at this writing, but we
are not "wine tasters." We hope
that Mr. Bozarth will tell our readers
something of the difference in value
between the wines sent us and give
some idea of the method of preparing
them, especially the persimmon wine"
A Texas editor, familiar with editori-
al banquets confesses himself unable
to pass on the merits Of domestic
wines. It somehow jars on my feel
ings If he will send those samples
down this way [ will see how they
compare with the Virginia Dare wines

The Fenugreek Plant.

AAC ACCh 4oAAIs
Solomon was a wise man in many
things, but when he said there was
nothing new under the sun, it might
have been true of his time; nova
days something new is making its
appearance every now and then. Es-
pecia1ly in the natural world. New
bugs, new vegetables, new fruits, new
grasses, bob up for the consideration
of, and adoption by the Horny
handed sons of toil'' to whom the rest
Of the world looks for a supply Of
the food SO necessary to sustain life.
The Fenugreek plant is a legume
and is being experimental with in
California as a "cover CROP" which
means one to turn under at the proper
season as we Of Florida do the velvet
bean, COW pea and various grasses
like beggar weed, ETC., etc. Its
botanical name is said to be ''Triga-.
nella foenungraecun," but we need
not lay awake o'nights trying to pro-
nOunce and recollect how to spell it.
Let it go as Fenugreek, and as some
thing that might do we'll in our or

we'll for fodder.
1t is also said that the seed has
medicinal properties and, if clean and
hungry kline" can grow fat on it, why
should not lean human kind also do
SO? When this fact was first an
nounced, the experts Of the Agricu1-
tural Department at Washington
hastened to notify the public that it
was not an established fact and that
doctors should pass first upon it's
use by any one; wise caution, for it
is limited that inflammation Of the
liver has resulted when a decoction
of the seed has been taken to excess.
But it is as a forage and soiling
crop that we are interested in more
than as medicine, and here is what
one grower in California has to say
about it: "Mr c.. C. league, of
Santa Paula, CAL, has used fenugreek
more largely than anybody else as a
cover crop in his lemon groves. This
IS the purpose for which it is generally
planted, since it puts back into the
soil large amount of nitrogen. Fe-
nugreek growing in the field looks
SO much like clover, according to
officials here, that persons unfamiliar
with. it would probably think they
were looking at field of clover il
they should come suddenly upon it
and none Of the real thing was near

So far as known in the Agricultural
Department at Washington, it is said
not to have done we'll outside of
Southern California, yet if successful
there it should do we'll in Florida and
all our gulf states, one of it's features
being its inability to stand much frost

MODERN PlNOCHLE MELDS
Points of the Game on Which Players
Often Disagree.
CHANGES OF THE LAST TEN YEAR;
Principles on which it Was Orig
inaIIy Based-COrrect Value of
Disputed MeIds and the
Reasons Therefor.

Probably few games have undergone such
radical changes in a short time as pinochle,
and there is certainly no game Of cards
about which there is so much diversity Of
opinion as to the correct rules and so little
technical knowledge as to right principles,
In the absence of any standard authority
for the game, any recognized code Of rules,
It has been left to many separate and dis
tinct groups of players to make their own.
This has been done without consultation
with players other than those in their own
set. and is. of course. as fair for one as
for another; but it is not pinochle.
No matter where or how he has been
taught, the good pinochle player will be on
q par with any other good player as soon
as the cards are up and the melds are on
the slate. 1t is never the play that makes
the difference in the game, because perfec-
ton in that is arrived at By practice and
experience II is the value of the declara-
lions or melds that leads to so many dis
putes
Every card game is based on certain
fundamental principles which distinguish
IL from other games. 1t is on these princi-
pies alone that the rules should be based,
and most disputes concerning pinochle
arise from lack of familiarity with these
principles.
Compared TO Bezique.
Until about ten years ago pinochle was
very much like bezique. The principal diff
ference~was that in bezique the four kings
or queens might be OF any suits; they had
20 be OF different suits in pinochle. The
minor difference was in the value of the
two principal melds In bezique the trump
sequence was worth $50; in pinochle. 10
only. The double beEique was worth 500;
double pinochle, 800 only.
In pinochle eight aces used to be worth
1000; eight kings 500, and so on These
melds were impossible in bezique, because
after winning a trick tho bezique player
had only seven cards in his hand. Even in
rubican bezique. in which nine cards are
dealt. and the four spade queens and four
diamond jacks are worth 45OO. It does not
seem to have ever occurred TO players TO
make eight aces worth 1000, and there is
no score for eight OF a kind.
Cutting Away the Melds,
One Of the first, and probably one of the
most important, changes in pinoohle was
cutting out these big scores, the first to go
being the melds for eight OF a kind. II
was found that the habit OF holding on
desperately to six or seven cards OF a kind
IN the hope OF going game IN one meld
completely spoiled the play OF the hands
and made pinochle nothing but speoula-
ton on the draw. to win or lose everything

kings and queens. $50 for the trumps total
so. In another $40 and $50. total $50.
Now, all these methods cannot be right,
and among them Il would seem that the
selection Of the true one would be to find
that which is in accord with the spirit Of
the game In order 90 De consistent In all
the melds and to follow out the same prin-
ciple in one that is insisted on In another
we shall find that the correct values for the
melds which are commonly disputed in
modern pinochle when played three or four
hand should be as follows:
For four kings and queens................ 22O
For the trump sequence ........,........... $50
For both these Ogether.................. $40
No other values will conform TO the rules
which have been shown to be inherent to
the game. A fresh card for each meld, for

FREIGHT TARIFFS HEARING.
Requirements of Hepburn Bill Fully
Discussed.

The need for the conspicuous posting of
freight tariffs by various railroads. as
required by the Hepburn law was fully
discussed before the interstate commerce
commission yesterday afternoon. At the
hearing practically all OF the principal
carriers of the country and many of the
shippers organizations We're represented
The arguments presented We're in line of
simplifcation of the methods required by
the law.
The carriers expressed their desire to do
everything reasonable in the matter Of
furnishing the shippers their rates, but
they pointed out that if it We're made nee
essary by the interstate commerce com
mission to furnish at every station on
their line posted information concerning
the rates to every possible point in the
United States it would be such q burden
upon them as would be unreasonable and
unfair.
So far as the railroads are concerned
this is one of the most important cues
tons that has arisen under the Hep
burn rate act. 1t means not only an
enormous expense to the carriers, but
they point out a deal of technical min
utiae which might require months, if not
years, to work out. The commissi ON ba @
expressed disposition to do all it can TO
relieve the railroads of the burden inn
posed upon them by the law 1t is bound.
however, to carry into effect the proyi-
sions made by the Congress, having no
discretion, except that of mere admins
tration as to the regulations to be placed
upon the railroads. The commission took
the matter under advisement and gave
the railroads fifteen days in which to sic
briefs.

the Jackson Mining Company
Forge Built in 1647

In the summer of 1S47 the Jackson com.
pany built forge about three miles from
the mine and on February 10, 1S4S, the
first iron in the Lake Superior region was
made by Ariel N Barney The daily
product of the mine for several years was
about six tons, which was hauled to Mar
quette by team wagon. The first Lake
Superior ore received at the Lake Erie
ports came from the Jackson mine in
1852, and consisted of six barrels, sent to
the Sharon Iron Company of Pennsylva-
mia for experimental purposes.
The Cleveland Iron Company was the
second to be organized and was con-
trolled for many years by w. J. Gordon OF
Cleveland. 1t was the first company tc
use the 500 canal for the shipment of ore
and on August IA, 1854, sent 49, tons tG
Cleveland In the brig Columbia. During
that year 1t shipped LAC tons from Mar.
quette, nearly all of 1t being carried in
schooners. Steamers refused to carry ore
because 1t interfered with the comfort
and convenience of passengers. Indeed, at
that TIME very little freight was carried
by steam. Steamers were used almost ex-
clusively for passenger service. In those
days 1t took a week or more to load a
cargo of ore.
The ore in this district does not lie upon
the surface like that in the Mesaba range
Of Minnesota, but under a rock Gaping,
varying in thickness from a few feet to
1900 feet. The Mesaba ores lie in great,
fiat bodies under the sod and are in soft
fine grains. The Gogebic range produces
Bessemer ores exclusively, which are very
low in phosphorus and occur in veins dip
