For years one of the matters which
has received the cal eful attention OF
the department OF agriculture is food
adulteration. Who has not heard OF
the old libel on the state OF Connect
icut-the wooden nutmeg. but there
are worse things than wooden nut
megs. Unprincipaled manufacturers
and dealers for many years have re-
sorted to adulteration OF foodstufs TO
increase profits. In the matter Of
spices. only a short time since the
food commission OF one OF the states
discovered among so samples analysed
more than 80 that were adulterated.
In peppers. stems and barks were
ground. in every class OF ground
spice foreign substances were added
to give weight. and in numerous
cases. particularly flavoring extracts,
the articles supposed to be made
from pure fruits. were found to be
synthetical. or entirely artificial. pre-
parations from coal tar

country. but are disposed OF by con-
Germs who depend upon doing bust

seek to dispose OF their goods directly

or state laws can be so closely APP

not be so numerous.

orchard is getting into good bearing

material needed in the ground has
very likely been taken out by the
growth already there. Then young or
chards ought not to be expected to
come into bearing specially soon. To
fruit thus early may properly be Ia

The regular growth and bearing are

FERTILIZING WHEAT
The advisability of using CONNER
cial fertilizers on wheat is born out b
the following data obtained in exper-
iments made under the writer's direct
ion. and further illustrate the imDor-
lance of supplying soils with vegeta-
BILE matter on which complete fertil-
izers are used. On rather thin land
on which cowpeas were plowed under
and an application OF nitrate of soda
az the rate OF 20 pounds and muri-
ate OF potash at the rate of 30
pounds were applied the cost of bus
hel of increase was % cents. On tbs
same land treated in like manner al
application OF $50 pounds OF acit
phosphate and 37.5 pounds of muriat'
OF potash give a bushel of increase
AT a cost OF 16 cents. In these 1--WE
instances the increase from the us
OF fertilizers was between 10 and i
bushels per acre. Acid phosphate a
lone applied at the rate of 500 pounds
per acre gave a bushel of increase a
cost of % cents. We are OF the o
pinion that practically the same in
from possibly half the application
which would have reduced the cos
OF a bushel of increase quite materi
ally. Where complete fertilizer wal
used at the rate OF 800 pounds pei
acre the cost OF bushel of increas,
was q cents. These figures are quoted
T. show that fertilizers properly com.
pounded and used on wheat will in
crease the yield quite markedly and
az a cost that is profitable to the far
mer. Besides that, all the fertilizer
applied to the wheat crop is not us
ed by it. and there is a residue left
In the soil which will put il in bet
ter condition for succeeding crops.

Lindsey Jackson, negro, was killed
at 1880 O'Clock last night at the cor
ner OF Court street and Hatcher's
alley. He lived but five minutes IL
ter the 2.2OO volts had passed
through his body.
The light had been suffering and
Lindsey thought that by pulling the
rope he could remedy the trouble.
The rope became united and the
heavy arc fell to the ground, near
where the negro was standing. He
did not touch It at first but ran to
his home, which was across the
street and got his lantern, returning
TO where 1t was, he picked it up with
10th hands thinking he would hang
it on the hook With a groan
he fell to the ground. the heavily
charged arc still grasped in his hands.
Several negroes. who were stand
ing near heard him fall and ran to
where he was and pulled his body
from under the arc. He was taken
20 his home where he died without
regaining consciousness. DR.. Mcclure
Scott was summoned but his trip
was useless.
Jackson was employed by the e.
lectric light company. He is survived

the woman, but at last accounts the
Officers in whose hands the warrant

The left tusk measures on the curve

that one who first sees them is prone
to believe that they have survived

Efforts are now being made in this
country to form a national collection
of heads and horns, and Dr. w. T.
Hornaday has given impetus to the
movement by presenting his private
collection of over 100 rare specimens
as nucleus. Besides DR.. Hornaday,
who represents the Camp Fire club in
the movement to establish the cOllec-
ton, the other immediate promoters
of the enterprise are Mr.. Madison
Grant for the Boone and Crockett
club and Mr. John NJ. Phillips for the
Lewis and Clark club. Circular let
ters have been addressed to all the
sportsmen and trayC.ers of America
and others likely to be interested in
the matter calling attention to the
scheme and thereby giving them an
opportunity of obtaining inches for all
time in the Temple of Nimrod.
The collection will be under the di-
rection of members of the big-game
hunting clubs, as well as of spOrtsmen
at large, and the committee. selected
from them to acquire specimens and

Just above the spring, and foot or

inches back of it he dug out the other

FRIEND OF THE SlRLOIN

Sir James Crichton Browne, whose recent Wig
orous onslaught on vegetarianism and sturdy de-
fense of the mutton chop and sirloin of beef has
aroused the ire of the London food faddists, is
the Teddy Roosevelt" of the British medical
profession. He is always going for something
and he goes for it as hard he knows how. In
consequence he gets an amount Of free advertising
which the old fogey doctors regard downright
scandaous and opposed to the most sacred ethics
of the medical profession.
But Sir James does not care for their criti-
cism any more than the president does for the
threats of the trust magnates. He delights in
controversial shindy He says things with the
deliberate purpose of provoking folk into hitting

SENATOR DIXON

AS was anticipated in these columns
for the rast four weeks, Joseph M.
Dixon, Ct Missoula, was elected by the
legislature Of the state at Helena,
Tuesday, January IS, to represent
Montana in the senate of the United
States. The election was almost un-
animous and it was a foregone con-
clusion that Mr. Dixon would be the
choice Of the people, even before the
caucus OF the house, for the santi-
nent WAS far to strong in his favor
to be successfully overcome by the op-
position. Now that Mr. Dixon is ell
ected, the eyes Of the state which
has thus honored him, will watch
with interes, his work in the senate
and the Herald, with other friends, be-
lieves that the choice is a good one
and will so prove in the future. Con-
gratuIations are coming to the young
member from Missoula from every
quarter, and from Washing on, his
colleagues have sent their share of
messages Of this nature. From these
1t may be seen that Mr.. Dixon has
made friends at The national capitol,
q thing most necessary in order to be
heard :hG to succeed in the great
mill of American politics. A pleas
ing personality, candor and honesty,
are as much necessary to succeed
at Washington, as is eloQuence, in
fact more SO, and the Man from Mis-
soula' has these qualifications. The
Herald anticipates for Senator Dixon
q bright career and for Montana much
Sood from his election to the upper
house OF congress. 1t joins with his
many friends and admirers in con-
sratulations and predictions that he
will be heard from and that he will
represent the state in a manner
manner which will leave no room for
doubt that the choice was a wise one.
