his hogs anywhere there is a dry
place about the hog yard, is likely
sooner or later to notice an unthrifty
appearance among some members of

in pen out of doors will not do their
best unless they have some perma-

regularly and in an acceptable con-

PEAS AS HuMus.

AS humus results from decomposed
organic matter, the rotting in the soil
of crop of pea vines and their roots
plowed and worked up with 1t accom-
plishes the humification of the soil.
The humus derived from rotted peas
is peculiarly valuable as fertilizer.
because these plants are naturally
rich in protein matter. the soil of
which is nitrogen. They therefore
give rich heterogeneous humus. To
emphasize this we have only to OBJ
serve that each 100 pounds of pea hay
would contain at least three times as
much nitrogen as 100 pounds of grain
straw. The humus resulting from
decomposed pea crop therefore Is three
times more valuable as a fertilizer
than that from grain and straw The
grain straw has almost as much pot
ash as the pea straw, but as we pillow
in the pea pods as well, the peas may
be calculated to put more potash into
the humus than grain straw does.
AS regards phosphoric acid, the
amount found in the humus of grain
straw Is too slight to use for compare
son, says Farmers Review 1t is
right to note at this point that the
peas do not bring any potash or phos-
phoric acid to the orchards, as being
grown on the soil they must obtain
all their supply of these ingredients
from the soil, while the grain straw
being purchased from the outside
brings these mineral ingredients, par
ticularly the potash. of grain fields to
the orchard.-Thomas C. Wallace.

Warming and Cooking Feeds.

In cold weather the value of warm
food is easily noticed. but the cost is
more than the increased value when
compared with the increase of the
How of milk. Silage may be fed warm
without much additional expense, and
prove valuable. Cooking feed for
cows was strongly recommended 40
years ago, says Farm and Home, but
recent experiments have proved the
fallacy of this doctrine. Cows have
never been bred up to appreciate
warm feeds. Actual experience In
cooking feeds has shown that the nm
cooked feeds proved to be more d.
gestible, the average in different feeds
giving loss of six per cent. by cook
ing.

From Lakes to ocean.

The season of navigation on the In
terror waterways will soon end, and 1t
will be record breaker. Particularly
is this true of the great lakes and the
transactions ON the Sault Sta Marie
canals. The figures for October
showed that 44.4O4, $50 tons Of freight
had passed through the canals up to
that time. quantity largely in excess
of any preceding year. The November
returns will bring the total to 5O,000,-
900 tons, which will be 2 gain of more
than IS per cent over 1e95. The bulk
of the business is done by the Ameri-
can canal, and the largest part of the
shipments is made up of ore from the
Lake Superior beds. These shipments
are certain to increase rapidly and in
definitely. for the development OF the
ore regions is going on at a prodigious
rate, says the Troy News. Articles
other than ore are transported on the
great lakes and through the canals,
and will multiply in number and in
crease in bulk as the country grows
in population and advances in indus
try. The time must come when the
canals now in use will not furnish a
sufficient outlet, and the west is in
tensely alive to that fact. The action
of the state of New York in appropri-
ating SOL, 100000 to enlarge its
canals is regarded as a great step
toward improved water facilities, but
the west will never be content until
1t has ship channel from the lakes
to tidewater, and that is why special
effort Is now being directed toward
getting congressional approval and
national aid for the deep waterways
from Chicago to the Mississippi.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS
How advance copies of the speech
which President Roosevelt is to
make at Provincetown, Mass, on
August 20, have found their way
into all street brokers' Offices is a
mystery to administration officials
here, but they believe that the
brokers who assert they have
read in these copies a reversal of
President Roosevelt's policy to-
ward corporations must have
something the matter with their
eyes. Two members of the cabinet
are here-Secretary Taft and At
torney General Bonaparte. Each
has seen President Roosevelt
within week.
Neither has any idea that the Presi-
dent is going to call halt"
Their understanding is that the ad-
ministration's antitrust policy is just
what it has been all along, which is to
punish corporations and individuals
guilty of violating the laws. That the
administration is not going to under
take wholesale and random prosecution
is clearly indicated by it's course with
regard to Hartman.
While Bonaparte had nothing regard
ing the departments position to add
to the authorized interview published
today. he answered a few questions
addressed to him by newspaper cor
respondents by saying:
'No corporation has any reason to
be afraid of the department of justice
if its officers know that it has obeyed
the law. When I was appointed attor-
ney general 1 said that 1 considered it
unnecessary to express an opinion of
the merits of the antitrust law because
it would be my duty. to enforce the
laws impartially. whatever they were
That I have endeavored to do

is concerned, it is going neither faster
nor slower than it has been going here

Regret Departure Of
Ships for Japan
Special BY Gable and Leased Wire
to The Call

MANILA, Aug. 15.-Much regret has
been caused here, particularly among
Americans and the business element,
over the departure of the American
warships for Japan. The Raleigh and
the Cincinnati left on August and the
Colorado, the West Virginia, the Mary
land and the Pennsylvania departed
last Saturday. The program was that
the vessels should assemble at Yoko-
hama, where colliers were to meet
them.
Instructions for the squadron have
been marked by some indecision. First
the ships were to return to the Pacific
coast via Japan. Then, this order was
cancelled and finally renewed The Of
ficers were at loss to understand the
changes in order, but they believed
their visit was intended to Offset the
sending of the battleship feet to the
Pacific by showing the confidence of
the United States in the friendship of
Japan. Nevertheless. some of the Of
ficers are dubious regarding the wis
dom of visiting Japan just now, citing
as their reason the possibilities of an
accident similar to the Maine affair.

known that the company had had
somewhat unfortunate experience In
the making OF automobiles--in con-
trast to its popularity in the manufac-
ture of bicycles IN days gone by. This
year, however, the company seems to
have had great success, especially with
the Pope Hartford car.
The strike at the Toledo factory last
year was very costly to the company
The car turned out had some imperfec-
tions which were remedied this year
and the experts believed the 1908 Pope
Toledo model would be a great sue

of money on the small cheap Pope
Toledo runabout, which is now being
sold in second hand and cut price
places at $3.50.
1t required an immense amount OF
capital to keep the factories at Indian
apolis, Toledo, Hagerstown, Westfield,
Mass, Hartford and Chicago going.
Some of these made bicycles, as the
Pope manufacturing company absorbed

was known as trust and which made

try and it would not be surprising If
strong capitalists should come to the
