Leak Case.
Washington, June 28.-Former AS

his testimony in his trial on the charge
of giving out secret crop information.
He said that before this trial he had
known nothing of the letters said to
have been written by Peckham to Van
Ripper and denied the authorship Of
letters attributed to him. He also de-
clared that he had never agreed to
furnish Broker Price any advance in
formation concerning the cotton crop
report and that he had never supplied
him with any facts except in an Off
cial way. He made the same denial
with reference to Van Ripper, Haas
and Peckham.
He declared to be "absol,.tely false

VAST RICHES IN THIS YEARS CROPS
Farmers Getting More Dollars For All They Have 10 SELL and Therefore Arc
in Better Condition Than Any Other Class Consumers.

Washington, d. c. - Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, who has just re-
turned from a trip extending to the
Pacific Coast, can see nothing but a
continuance of good times.
The people of the West" he said,
ARE not fearful of panic or of hard
times. The West is prosperous.
There is plenty of money. In fact,
have reason to believe that the West
is loaning money to the East, instead
of the East to the West. And this is
being done at good rates of interest.
The people of the West are not wor-
rying over Wall Street and it's trou-
bles. They scarcely know that such
troubles exist, save as they read of
them in the newspapers. The rest of
the country is no longer dependent
on Wall Street.
Grain crops generally will be
good, with the exception of oats.
There will be a good corn crop, not a
bumper crop, but good one, If frosts
do not come too early. Prices for
farm products and for stocks are high
and the farmers are making money"
Farmers are getting more money
for their grains this year than in any
former year, and the shortage of the
yield in bushels is being made up by
the advance in prices. A banker from
South Dakota, who has been in that
section for years, while in Chicago
last week, made this statement:
Banks in South Dakota have larger
deposits than they have ever held,
and farmers are getting more dollars
for what they have to sell than in any
year on record. Last year at this
time they sold their wheat at sixty to
sixty-five cents, while now they are
securing ninety-two cents. Oats sold
at twenty-five cents last year, and
are now bringing thirty-1ve cents.
Barley that sold at thirty cents last
year brings sixty-five cents. Live cat
tie sell for 81 to s1.25 per 100
pounds more than last year, while
hogs are selling at the same prices as
a year ago, and there are lots of
them. OF corn, we are not raising
any more than needed for home use.
Wheat is of fine quality, although
yields are not heavy. This also ap-
plies to all other grains"
The above story represents the con-
ditions in the West, despite the fact
that prosperity stories are being over
worked. There has been conserva-
tive recession in business in nearly
every line, which has been beneficial,
as things were going too fast. But
there is a good, healthy business,
which denotes steady consumption of
goods at satisfactory prices. A ma
jority of the people in the agricultu-
raj regions are in as good condition
as last year for the purchasing of
goods, as the advance in prices makes
them feel easy. In fact, they are in
better condition than are any other
class of consumers.

APIrate,s strategr.

In summer the principal food of the
white-tailed sea eagle is salmon. In
autumn, when the salmon have
ascended to the lakes. the birds resort
to the sea. They appear to have
special fondness for elder duck. Sta
toned near the water in command
ing position, with a background of
cliff, the color of which assimilates
with that of the eagles plumage, he
sits motioniess until flock OF ducks
settles near him. After q time one
or two dive in search of food, but
not until all have gone under together
does the eagle make sign. He then
glides swiftly to the spot and circles
over 1t close to the water. With
sharp eyes he can detect the birds
before they reach the surface. At
first he is not usually successful, for
as soon as they become aware OF the
presence OF the enemy they dive again
instantly. But in time they are
obliged to come up for air, and then
one Of them becomes an easy victim.

How to Kill sIucs.

The so-called slugs that skeletonize
the leaves OF the cherry. plum and
pear trees and rose bushes during the
summer are all comparatively easy to
destroy.
AS the slugs devour the surface tis-
sue of the leaves in each case, they
may be killed by a thorough appli-
cation of any of the arsenical poisons.
such as Paris green, London purple,
or arsenate of lead Upon low plants,
1t is equally as well to mix the dry
poisons In twenty times their own
weight OF common -four and then
dust them upon the plants through
a cheesecloth sack held In the hand.
In case of the fruits, especially
cherries, where 1t is not safe to use
the above poisons, white hellebore
powder may be used instead. If ap-
piled as spray, put three ounces OF
the powder in one gallon of water:
as dust. 1t may be used without di-
luton in a cheesecloth sack and a
light application made. The best
time to apply the hellebore is to-
wards evening.
The slugs can be removed from
cherry, pear and plum trees by thor
oughly sitting fine road dust, or fresh
ly Stacked lime over the foliage In
the middle of a warm day. when the
slngs are upon the upper side Of the
leaves.
Begin In time, be thorough. and
do not let the slugs destroy your
trees or roses.-c. p. Gillette. In In

CroD Rotation,

System in farming is the thing to
be advised If the very best results are
desired. This may be in the manage
ment of the crops grown, and also in
the stock kept. 1t includes both stock
and crops taken together, II the view
point is how the farm can maintain
all the stock that the land is capable
of sustaining from the products of
the farm. The best or most success
full farmers, where grass and grain
crops are the dependence for profit,
are those who grow farm animals Of
all kinds in such number that all the
hay, straw, fodder and grain are con-
sumed upon the farm, If indeed, there
is not more or less bought, and fed
also.
Stock farming, or the growing of
farm animals, presupposes that all
waste from the farm is eliminated.
That is to say, there is opportunity
to use everything that can be pro-
duced for food. There is great econ
omy in so doing. The amount OF fer
tilizing material is also greatly in
creased and this properly used in
creases production. The more man
ure rightly handled, the more grain
and grass, and this makes It possible
to increase the amount of stock.
Along with this is to be considered
the vast amount OF fertiling mater
ial drawn from the atmosphere. The
land grows richer year by year, and
the whole movement tends toward
building up both stock and crops.
On well regulated system of
farming to use all the products as
food for stock, an abundance of grass,
both for pasture and hay is OF great
Importance. Glover and timothy
mixed, are fine for both grazing and
for making hay. If there is an
abundance of ground, permanent
blue grass pastures are very fine. 1t
is advisable to grow corn, rye and
oats, in considerable quantities. Use
all the manure that can be made, ON
the meadow lands. This will give
very large yield of hay, and forms a
heavy sod for corn crop. Break
this kind of sod ground for corn each
season, and follow the corn crop with
ssiall grain in autumn or with oats
in the spring, and then SOW down
again IN grass. This kind of rota-
tion will insure increased fertility of
soil even without applying manure,
but the manure should be applied
carefully also.
Systemize or classify the animals
so as to grow cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs, and make 1t a point not to
dispose OF any kind of animals until
they are mature. Raise the calves,
colts, lambs and pigs, by keeping an
abundance of the best breeding stock
upon the farm, and feed judiciously
until they have arrived at the age
and size that will insure q good
money value. The larger the farm
the more successful can systematic
stock and grain farming be made,
but it pays even on small scale"

Food Value of Corn.

In a report from the Geneva Sta
ton concerning the feeding value
OF corn at different stages of growth.
1t was found to be of but little value
until nearing the wasting stage, and
at Its best when just glazed, while
ten days previous to this date there
was a deficiency of twenty per cent.
In feeding value. Taking this as our
basis, we can safely figure a loss of
one-fifth of the corn crop in this couif-
try. Many fields planted for the silo
are either planted too thick If 1t did
ear. Consequently, under the above
statement, we readily see enormous
waste from this promiscuous planting
OF corn. And still we continue and
wonder why our dairy returns are so
unsatisfactory.-S. Gordon, in the
American Cultivator.

A great deal has been said of the
original difference of capacity be-
tween men and women; as if women
were more quick and men more ju-
dicious; as if women were more re-
markable for delicacy of association
and men for stronger powers of at
tention. All this, we confess, ap-
pears to us very fanciful. AS long
as boys and girls run about in the
dirt and trundle hoops together they
are both precisely alike. If you
catch up one-half of these creatures
and train them to a particular set
of actions and opinions and the 9th
er half to a perfectly opposite set,
of course their understanding will
differ, as one or the other sort of
occupations has called this or that
talent into action. There is surely
no occasion to go into any deeper
or more abstruse reasoning in order
to explain so very simple a phenome-
non.--Sydney Smith.

KnowIedge rs Power.

The entrance of young women,
even young girls, into commercial
and Industrial life presupposes, or
should presuppose, In the interest Of
self-protection, more thorough
knowledge of the ways Of the world
than was regarded as either neces-
sary or proper for young girls of a
generation in which women were
strictly homekeepers and home
makers, and men we're the bread
winners, protectors and support
ers of the home. At time,
not yet entirely beyond the realm
OF memory, it was considered proper
and in every way desirable to keep
young women in ignorance of the
wiles Of the wicked and the snares
of the tempter, and, as far as possi-
bic, from all knowledge of the exis-
tence of the vices that "cling like
serpents' eggs together" around
what is called the social sin.
The fallacy of this reckoning.
when put to the test, is apparent to
all, even the least worldly-wise of
the present age. Ignorance of what
In general terms is called the ways
of men"-ways which are scorned
by honorable men in every walk of
life-is the open door through which
many young girl has walked un-
Willingly to her downfall. The rem
edy here is plain and should not be
far to seek. It imposes upon parents
the plain duty of fortifying their
daughters with information in re-
gard to the subtleties of human ma
ture that lie at the very foundation
of all society the perversion of
which leads to the long catalogue of
, sins Sf the lower order and to prac-
tically all of the crimes that are COM
mitted against women, within and
without the marriage relation. lg-
norance of things which every young
woman, for her own self-protection
and happiness, should know and un-
derstand, is proper only during the
period of sheltered young girlhcod
But to turn a girl out to MAKE a liv-
ing among men; to work for a wage
and that usually an insufficient one
when paralleled with her needs
whether she seeks to enter CONNER
cial or industrial life, or even to en-
gage In a domestic vocation, is tc
send her out with the surest equip
ment of misery If not of ruin.-Port-

ORIGIN OF sIeen.

DR.. Salmon studies in Revue de
Medicine the relations existing be-
tween sleep and the function of the
pituitary gland. He believes the
cause of sleep to be an internal
physiological secretion. The hy-
pophysis pituitary body) is assum-
ed to play an essential part in the
production of sleep. Since the sub
stance of this gland is said to contain
bromin, this serves to support the
theory that the hypophysis exerts a
sleep-inducing influence upon the
nerve centres. The author endeavors
to back up his statements by the
occurrence of anatomical changes in
this organ in various diseases which
are associated either with somno-
lence or with insomnia.-PostG Gra-

The Minorca Fowls

The Minorcas are considered one
Of the best of the breeds as layers.
There are two colors-black and
white-dividing them into Black
Minorcas and White Minorcas. The
Blacks are of glossy green black
color, as lustrous as possible, being
similar to the Black Spanish in shape
and size, but possessing a red face.
The Whites differ from the Blacks
only in color.
They are regarded as superior lay
ers, and are valuable acquisition to
the list of breeds. They lay very
large eggs, are non-sitters, and are
very hardy. considering the fact that
they have large single combs. There
are also rose-comb varieties, which
possess no advantage over the single
comb varieties.-Farm and Fireside.

The Male.

Do not be surprised at price of
two or three dollars for a pure-bred
male. The value added to flock of
hens by the introduction of a pure
bred male is nearly a hundred per
cent, says Farm and Fireside. The
mongrel is thus crowded out, and the
flock becomes more uniform. The
new blood gives vigor, and larger
proportion of the chicks will be
reared to render service next year,
and they will produce more eggs and
meat proportionately than the pres
ent flock. There is nothing in which
a farmer can more proftably invest
few dollars than in pure-bred
males.

The increase in The last seven years
OF $2,2S3, 100000 is a gain Of nearly
fifty per cent. in that time. This
gain in seven years is almost equal
to the total value of the farm pros
ducts of the country in 1890 In the
latter year the per capita production
of all engaged in agriculture was
s2S7, almost exactly the same as in
1880, while at the present time the
per capita Of all engaged in agricul-
ture is about $500.
The prosperity of the farmers is
seen not only in the paying off of
hundreds of millions of farm mort
cages and IN the building of better
homes, but also in the heavy deposits
in the country banks throughout the
West and South. Every banker in all
the agricultural regions of the coun-
try has been IMPRESSED during the
last few years with the great increase
in the deposits of farmers. and in
many portions of the South a large
proportion of the deposits in country
banks is made up of surplus accumu-
lations of the agricultural classes
With such fundamentally sound con-
ditions it is scarcely possible for the
country again 10 sink into the depths
of panicky times such as we have had
in the past.
So far as the South is concerned, It
is quite safe to count that this section
will receive for its cotton and cotton
seed an aggregate of 100000, 700.

genious labor saving machines at the
service of agriculture.
One man now. through the aid OF
modern farm devices drawn or oper-
ated by horses, can do the same
amount of work that years ago, re-
quired from two to ten men to ac-
complish in the same length OF time.
Formerly haying and harvest re-
quired many days of hard labor.
Modern farm machinery has made
these operations simpler, less ardu-
Gus and of short duration, much to
the satisfaction OF the farmer, his
wife, family and hired hands.
Farm methods have been complete
ly revolutionized through science, dis
covery and invention in the last half
century. More advance has been
made in this important profession,
all things considered, than in any
other calling in that time. This, is
so because the field for development
and Improvement was broader and
because It was one of the last of
mans occupation to receive the re-
juvenating effect of scientific effort
and systematic study.
AS the years go by, more notice.

cultural lines, besides intensive farm
ing will in order to supply the ne

cessities and through thrift and intel
ligence the greater demands of the
future will also be met.-IndiaDa
