FIRE OF CROSS QUESTIONING
BY THE MEMBERS OF THE CON-
MITTEE.
Publishers Press.1

| washington, Feb. 5-Hearlns on
| the Brownsville affair, in which negro
members of the Twenty-ifth infantry
were alleged to have shot up" the
town, was resumed before the senate
committee on military affairs. A large
map of the Fort Brown barracks and
| of the town was placed on the walls
/ of the committee room and was care
fully studied by senators before the
| business Of the day began. Witnesses
to the number of 20 were corralled in
one OF the corridors of the senate, and
only one of them was permitted to en-
ter the committee room at time. The
session began with former Sergeant
Harris of company ID on the stand I'M
der a sharp fire of cross questioning
by Senator Warner, whose questions
related largely to the time when the
soldiers were summoned for roll call
and inspections Harris could not state
definitely the time, but said that it
was very early in the morning, it
might have been $50, but it was not
really dark. The sun rose that morn
ing at 5:27 o'clock
Senator Warner had the witness de
tail trouble that previously occurred
between citizens and members Of the
Twenty-ffth infantry at Fort McIn-
tosh and San Antonio, Tex, and wit
ness said that on account of the feel
ing engendered against the soldiers
he had determined not to re-enlist and
he.
cause of prejudice against the'race.
Senator Overman asked witness if
he had any trouble and he replied,
No, sir Would the other men have
had trouble if they had behaved them
selves as you did," asked Senator
Overman. Il do not know was the
response.
Harris said he was not treated badly
because he did not put himself in
position to be so treated but that the
men generally complained because
they were compelled to enter saloons
by the rear door He could not give
any instances of i'll treatment of
others, but he wanted, he said. "the
American right Of going where he
pleased"
Senator Foraker examined the wit
ness regarding bullets, clips and shells
sent to the senate by the president
with his message. but it appearing
that the bullets and shells had been
returned to the war department, fur
Their questions on that line were dis
continued to be taken up again.
The witness believed the firing the
night of the Brownsville ARRAY. was
principally from Winchesters and six
shooters because. he said. he is fami-
liar with the sounds Of various makes
of weapons and that he heard no firing
from Springfelds, with which the regi-
ment was equipped. When questioned
by Senator Foraker he stated that it
was his impression only that Spring
fields were not used. He had hunted
game in Montana and thought he
could tell the sound Of a Winchester.
The witness was then excused and
the committee adjourned until We'd
nesday.

AS HE HAS MANY RELATIVES
IN THIS COUNTY.

| Announcement has been received
here of the promotion of James L. Ma
. son TO the assistant secretaryship of
the Pennsylvania and VandaEa rail-
road companies. He will be assistant
TO S. B. Liggett, secretary of the sys-
tenn. Mr.. Mason has been chief clerk
to JOS. Wood, first vice president of
the Pennsylvania, and president of the
Vandalia.
Particular local interest surrounds
Mr. Mason. as he has number of rel
atives residing in Wayne county C.
M. South, a comparatively young man
in the railroad service, was appointed
to fill Mr.. Mason's recent position. the
former having occupied the position as
chief clerk to d. T. McCabe, fourth
vice president of the PENNSYLVANIA
system
In speaking of the promotion of Mr.
Mason and Mr.. South, the Pittsburg
Gazette Times says; Advancement
comes to these two young men "a rec
ognition of the faithful service for the
sixteen years each. Mr. Mason, aft

service of the Panhandle in the capac-
ity of stenographer in the master
mechanics office at Dennison, 0. He
was later promoted to the office of j.
J. Turner when the latter was the SUI
perintendent of the Pittsburg division.
His next step was in the office of
James McCrea, when Mr.. McCrea was

Sow Good Seed.

Recent Investigations have aroused
farmers to the fact that the size of
the harvest depends upon the quality
of seed they plant. Soil, weather and
cultivation have a wonderful influ-
ence on the growth of the crop, still,
fields under identical conditions show
a wide variation, not only in yield but
also in the quality of the grain. Grain
growers must recognize the fact that
the great law, like begets like" holds
as true in grain production as in ami
NAL breeding Knowing this fact it
certainly is poor business to SOW de-
generate seed grain, when little ex-
ira expense will add hundreds of dol
lars to the value of the crop. We do
not pay enough attention to germina-
ton. Most people rely upon their eyes
to detect poor vitality. This is unsafe,
for while a germ may look bright, and
probably will start growth, it may lack

The New Water Test.

The new apparatus for testing the
water content of butter, designed by
c. E. Gray of the dairy division, de-
partment of agriculture, ought to
prove of great value to the butter
Observation-Disclosures as well as deal
ers It's strong points are its simpii-
city, quickness of determination and
comparative accuracy in the results.
The usual chemical test for water
in butter is made by weighing out a
sample, evaporating the moisture, re-
weighing the residuum and thus calcu-
lating the percentage Of weight lost;
it is a slow operation, as the heat
must be kept comparatively low in or
der that volatile oils be not thrown
off with the water. Mr.. Gray has IN
geniously taken a different tack: after
weighing out the samples he evapor-
ates the water from it, RECEIVERS the
water by condensation and measures
its volume. In this way the effect Of
heat upon the oils of the butter being
immaterial, quicknass is gained by
providing high temperature which
is done by immersing the butter in
reagent whose boiling point is far
above that of water.
We cannot see why this test should
not be very nearly as reliable as the
usual gravimetric analysis If the
glassware is accurately sized and
calibrated, and the reagent free from
impurities. Certainly it's limits of
correctness are within the limits of
correct sampling of butter, and in
view of the long-felt want of such a
test we think Mr.. GGray's successful
efforts deserve high degree of ap-
probation.

enough vitality to insure prompt and
rapid growth. Test all seeds. 1t will
pay even from the standpoint of saw
ing seed. For if all, or a large per-
centage of the seeds terminate, one
does not need to SOW so thickly. With
corn one can judge seed pretty accu-
rately, for when in the ear, he can
see the type, and the termination test
is easy to make. With oats, rye, bar
ley and grass seeds we must look for
sound, plump grains, free from weed
seeds and other classes of grain, be-
ing sure we have no smut spores.
Clean and good seed grain is our big
gest problem now.

The Home Dairy.

Whatever may be said of dairying
AS a business proposition, 1t mas al
vantage for the small farmer, the man
with a few acres of land and large
farm. The continuity of labor and the
regular income are both factors OF
more Importance to the small farmer
than to the owner of many acres. The
same argument applies to the man
who sells milk instead of making but
ter or shipping cream.
The small dairy has advantages
which the large establishment cannot
claim. The man who keeps from 10
to 25 COWS and peddles his own milk
can know that all his work is COM
pleted as it should be done. He does
not have to trust his business 10 nlreo
help, and those who buy milk from
the small dairymen have the satlsIac-
ton of knowing what manner or man
takes care of the COWS that give milk
for them and their children. They
become acquainted with him and learn
from his manner and his bottles and
cans if he is as worthy OF their con-
fidence as the corner grocer, who sells
them meat and prunes and soap ana
baking powder After ALL milkman
should be chosen with as much care
as the family doctor
The man who lives with and by his
COWS, who loves COWS and takes
personal interest in the feed, care and
handling of each COW, the quality and
quantity of the product, is very likely
to give better care, have better COWS
and supply better milk than any hired
man or the average milk dealer.

Fire Insurance on creameries.

Among the many accounts OF cream
cry and cheese factory fires constant
ly being brought to our attention from
all parts of the country there are too
many which reveal a fatal gap be-
tween the loss sustained and the in
surance carried on the destroyed
plants, and cases where no protection
of this nature has been provided are
by no means uncommon. In these
days of relatively cheap insurance
adequate protection against possible
damage by fire should be regarded as
necessity and the payment of the
premiums should be considered as I'M
avoidable an expense as the butter
makers salary. The loss occasioned
by the burning of many a creamery
is not limited to the destruction of the
plant, but the built-up patronage is
also of value. With the cutting off of
the local market the dairymen are
forced to seek an outlet for their
product elsewhere If the creamery
company is without funds to arrange
for Immediate rebuilding, and when
the patronage Is once disseminated
it is regained with difficulty If re-
building is long delayed. The amount
of insurance carried should bear a
close relation to the value of the
plant and should be sufficient to pro-
vide funds for immediate rebuilding
and the procuring of temporary quar-
ters.

for laws or limbs, will be to onset and
sacrifice the benefit which was sought
by having them in comfortable quar-
tiers part of the time. The question
of exercise comes within the scope OF
this proposition and must be answer
ed from the standpoint of utility rath-
er than strict adhesion to the physical
welfare of the animal.
The dairyman or milk producer Is
fast becoming a specialist. AS rule
he does not feel any interest in the
offspring of his cows, and if 1t were
practicable to do away with the nat
ural instinct of maternity which gov
ems the COW, he would willingly do
so. 1t is claimed with truth that fe-
males during pregnancy need the Wit
alizing effect of exercise for a pro-
per development of the unborn young;
and whether a COW giving milk which
becomes food for human beings re-
uuires exercise for the development OF
a wholesome and healthy product, is
a question of physiological research,
and hardly within the purview OF the
utilitarian milk man. However, it Is
a question of vast Importance when 1t
embraces the food supply of infants
who are denied or deprived OF their
natural food.
Without any assumption OF knowl-
edge it is suggested that when milk
is designed for the production OF but
ter. principally, the danger of a pro-
duct in any essential degree unwhole-
some is not great; since the fat only
is taken, and of this but small quaint
ties, compared to the other elements
of ones diet, are consumed.

Government Salaries Too Small
The dairy division of the bureau OF
animal industry is up against diff
ficulty. and that is the difficulty OF re-
tanning competent operators in each
of it's divisions. This department has
undertaken to do great deal OF val
liable work in the interest OF the
dairy industry-work which can only
be done by experts who are thorough
ly familiar with the details of butter
manufacture, the conditions surround
ing creamery work, and who are COM
petent Judges of butter qualities and
the causes affecting quality.
There is naturally considerable
demand in the trade-both in the
manufacturing and in the distributing
ends-for talent of this character, and
the remuneration offered for compe-
tent men in the trade is, as rule,
considerably greater than the scale
of wages paid by the government.
The consequence is that as soon as the
government gets a good man installed
in one of these positions which brings
his qualities and his capabilities prom
inently before the trade, he is very
likely to receive offers to leave the
government employment and take
trade position at much better salary.
1t is true that the government some
times takes these men from more or
less obscure positions and gives them
more profitable employment than they
previously enjoyed; but the salaries
paid are comparatively small and
there are few men who will be con-
tent to remain long in the public SER
vice after more profitable positions
are offered to them, even though the
governmental employment may have
been the foundation of their advance
ment
