 cupy the position of leaders. That there is strong sentiment in favor of tariff reduction In the West, the Northwest and the Northeast is true beyond doubt. and we verify believe that it would strengthen the party with the voting masses if the Republicans in the present session Of Congress should go to work and give us a fair and honest tariff. It is not the com mon masses. as we understand 1t. who would be offended or auenated by gem uine revision.
 But the leaders are afraid to ven- ture on this step 90 near Presiden- ] tial election, and that Is all there is Q it.

JOHN G. suI.BURN.

John George Milburn. chief counsel for the Standard oil Company in the suits brought by the Federal government to dis solve the trust" was born in Sunderland, his early education in England he came to the United States, and for a time studied law at Batavia. N. Y. He was admitted to the bar in 1874 and began practice in Buffa- To. He rapidly came to the front in his profession and soon was recognized as corporation lawyer of exceptional ability. It was at MT. Milburns house in Buffalo that President Mckinley died. after being shot at the Buffalo exposition. Mir. Milburn was at the time president of the Pan-Amer- fcal Exposition and the martyred President was his guest on the fatal day. Shortly af- ter the tragedy MT Milburn removed to New York city and has since been connected with the Standard oil Company in legal capacity. In 1904 Mir. Miiburn served as one of the American delegates to the Uni yersai Congress of Lawyers and Jurists, held at the St. Louis Worlds Fair

KICKING MAY BE RIGHT.

"Kick!" says Carolyn Prescott. "It is the only way to keep your head above water when you are learning how to swim; it Is the only way 10 kcep from sinking in this ocean of life" She goes on to explain that when we want anything that we need and think we are entitled to we should keep on asking for 1t and demanding it until we get it. That isn't bad advice, if reason is allowed to control Some people have Q habit of kicking at everything, thus making nuisances of themselves and accomplishing no good for themselves and others. The chronic kicker is bore.
 That is not what Miss Prescott means. She means that when we de- sire an object. and the desire is-a legit- innate one, we should not be discour- aged by one failure or one refusal. The old maxim that "all things come to him who waits" Is out of date. While one patiently waits for a desired object to come to him another goes after 1t and gets it. If we are treated unjust
 H we have a right to kick in proper way, and if we fail to get what is justly due us it is both right and proper to keep after it, at least un- til convinced that further effort is use less. The chronic kicker may be a nuisance, but one who perseveres for the right is the one who does things and gets things. Carolyn has level head.

Fan Culture OF orcb.rd..

The orchard should not be cultivated
in sections where the ground is very
rough. One authority says that in
such sections cultivation should not be
thought Of at any time of the year,
much less In the fall. This is especial
iy true In those hilly sections where
there is great deal Of rainfall dur
ing the winter. but where the ground
does net freeze. On such soils the
ground win be mellowed by the cutiva-
ton, and when the winter rains come
the best part of the soil is washed
away.
Fall cultivation, however, will be a
success In the more level sections where
the ground will freeze during the win
ter, thus preventing washing. Turning
the mellow ground up to the action of
the frost renders many of the unsolu

English Debt Penalties.

Consul It. w. Mahin writes from Not
tingham that Imprisonment for debt was
nominally abolished in England many
years ago, but the actual number of cases
of Imprisonment has since annually in
creased, faster than the population. He
continues: Much more judicial option is
possible than formerly was the case, and
is exercised under the existing law. A
debtor against whom judgment is rem
dered may be summarily required to pay
before a given date on penalty of inn
prisonment. This power of committal
resides in the judge of the court. Some
judges exercise it much more freely than
others. In Nottingham county imprison-
court districts with much court business
the cases of imprisonment do not exceed
fifty year, while in some less populous
districts with less court business the
number reaches 500 a year. But
it would seem that on the whole
the indulgence shown to delinquent
debtors is steadily decreasing, for the
cases of imprisonment in the coun-
try have decennially increased as
follows under the existing law: In 1876,
apps; 1886, 54S6; 1885, $3.50; 1906,
1885.
Technically the imprisonment is for
contempt of court. The judge orders the
debtor to pay before given day. failing
which he may be jailed for contempt,
not exceeding forty days. however, in
any case, and he is released at once if he
pays in the meantime. Daily Consular

Feeding for Good Butter,

An experiment on the effect of wide
and narrow rations for milk COWS has
been made at the Pennsylvania station.
Nine Guernsey or grade Guernsey cows
about sixty days from calving were
used. Corn, stover and chopped wheat
were fed with different amounts OF
Buffalo gluten meal, cotton-seed meal
and iinseed meal, so as to give rations
with certain nutritiye ratios.
Seven of the nine cows used In the
trial required less digestible food for a
pound of butter In the periods when
the rations richer In protein were fed.
There was small apparent Increase in
the efficiency Of the food Ia the periods
when the narrower rations were fed
q. e., rations rich In proteln). After
deducting the cost of the food there
was also somewhat larger net profit
from feeding the rations richer in pro
tein. The percentage of fat vas better
maintained and, In fact, increased
slightly in the periods when the richer
rations were fed.
Our markets are treated to entirely
too much poor butter. The conservative
dealers will not deal In butter grease.
and they complain that really irst-ciass
butter must of necessity remain high in
price, because so little good butter Is to
be found In the markets

Value Of Humus.

The principal source of nitrogen in
the soil Is organic matter. We must
have the nitrogen to produce the crops.
1t is necessary to promote growth. 1t
is an expensive food probably the
most expensive Of all the food elements
needed by the plants 1t is estimated
that If the nitrogen had to be pur-
chased to produce bushel OF corn, 1t
would cost about "a cents. However,
If the organic matter Is kept sufficient
in the soil, it can be supplied without
cost.
Generally speaking there Is enough
potash in the average American soil to
produce corn for thousands Of years,
but as rule 1t is not available so that
plants can use 1t as food Many Of the
unsoluble mineral elements are made
soluble and available for the plants
needs by decay Of the organic matter
In soils. 1t requires humus In the soil
to make these unsoluble elements avail
able.
1t is then plain that soils that have
plenty of humus are not only rich in
nitrogen, but In the decay of the hu-
mus the supply of available mineral
elements is also increased. Soils
are ready to farm much earlier In
spring that are rich In humus than
those that are deficient In it. This hui
mus is what gives the soil its dark col
or, and 1t is fact that anything dark
In color absorbs heat more rapidly than
does light color. Soil containing hui
mus will dry out sooner and be ready
to cultivate sooner in the spring than
soil that has no humus.
Moisture is better retained in a soil
that has the proper amount of humus
than in one that is devoid of It. In
other words, soils that contain humus
are rich In available plant food. are
ready to work early In the spring and
have moisture to keep the crops grow
ing and producing; while, on the other
hand, soils that are without humus dry
out and are unfit for cultivation.

Muiehinw the soif.

TO mulch the soil is to cover It. This
is done by using straw, leaves, or any
other suitable material, according to
circumstances, la many cases stable ma
nure being employed Mulching pre-
vents rapid evaporation of moisture
and protects young plants against the
direct action of the sun In dry seasons.
But, while benefits may accrue from
the use of a mulch, there are also some
disadvantages to be considered. The
use of unfermented manure or matter
that Is subject to decay, encourages
mildew and fungus growth, as we'll as
serving to protect insects and parasites.
Yet there are some plants that thrive
best when afforded covering, and such
protection should be given. One of the
methods of mulching is to cover the
entire plant removing the covering
early in the spring. The object of a
mulch In winter, however, is not to
keep out the cold from the plants, as
no amount of covering can effect such
objects. What Is desired Is to prevent
sudden freezing and thawing of the
soil, which upheayes the plants and
causes injury. A mulch Is considered
highly beneficial when applied around
the roots of the plants allowing the
plants to receive all the air and light
possible and can be used both winter
and summer, as required.
