the explosion is still unknown. Officials
of the company believe that the ex

Don't Neglect the Garden.

In summer the farmer has plenty of
work on hand, and work that must
have prompt attention, but the work
needed in the garden is that which he
should least neglect. His living depends
on it, at least he ought to think so, and
act on that belief. 1t is certain that
there is no other part of his entire
work so important to the health and
comfort of his family and himself, and
the actual saving of expenses which
bounteous garden insures Is feature
which alone warrants him in making n
good garden, no matter what other
work many cause him to defer. 1t is
presumed that he has by this time of
year made all necessary preparations
for a supply of fruit for family use
during the entire summer, and much Of
the provision for a supply Of staple
vegeta bles should be completed, but
there is time for much more, and it
will not pay to neglect 1t

shown in the floor plan. The open shed
Is used for tools, a wagon, buggy, or
shop, and sometimes simply as a
place to store manure. In some Of the
colder States doors should be provided
for the shed, and possibly the parti
lions extended to the ceiling. The
structure Is ten feet at the caves and
fourteen to sixteen feet in front. The
loft Is floored over eight feet above
the grade line. This provides ample
storage space for hay and rough feed
and the two feed rooms are ample for
grain and bran. These may be tloored
Or not, as desired The outer walls are
boarded up and down and battened.

WEAVING Pigs.

1t will soon be time to take young
pigs from the sows, and in weaving
them much care will be necessary to
avoid stunning them or stopping their
growth. When about three weeks old
the young pigs will begin to look
around for feed, and pen should then
be provided for them where they car
be coaxed and given a little fresh
milk-it takes very little at first-after
they have once tasted the milk they
may be easily called to their feed.
Corn should be constantly kept in this
pen and the little pigs have free access
to it at all times. Milk or swill should
be fed to them. little at first, and
increased gradually daily. 1t will be
beneficial to give them all the fresh,
clean swill they will drink up clean
at each feed. Never feed little pigs
anything sour. or so much swill that it
will stand in the trough and sour. Feed
them this way until you see that the
SOW Is dried up, then remove her and
the pigs will be weaned.

SHAKE UP
IN NAVY
PROSPECTS OF BIG ROW
IN DEPARTMENT.
ROOSEVELT DECLARES HE WILL
SIFT KEY CRITICISMS TO
THE BOTTOM.

Prospects are that row in the navy
department is due that will make the
Reuterdahl-C apps-Converse upheaval
of this spring appear tame. The dis
turbance is expected this week when
the president and distinguished
gathering of naval officers will meet at
the navy war college at Newport Crit
cism of the new battleship North Da-
'kota will be the subject and the presi-
dent is determined to get to the bot
tom of the facts.
If the ships are being constructed
on wrong lines he intends to call a
halt on further plans along these
lines, and the clash of bureaus that
will ensue in that event will be aug
mented by the crashing of the big
stick on ancient custom. Great pre-
cautions are being taken to keep the
public in ignorance of the discussion.
The first topic to be taken up, and
the real cause for the calling of the
conference, is the report of Com
mander Key to the president, in which
he made sweeping criticism of the
North Dakota, sister ship of the Della
ware. These criticisms have been kept
a profound secret, even from naval
officers. 1t is accepted that one of the
chief criticisms made relates to arma-
ments. The manner in which the 10
12-inch guns were mounted was mat
ter of discussion at the time the plans
were drawn. The bureau of ordnance
at the time declined to permit any
interference with it's plans.
1t would surprise few if the presi
dent, in view of all the circumstances
abolished the present naval board on
construction and substituted for it a
board of design with wholly different
membership.
In the opinion of naval officers sta
toned here there is every prospect
for the greatest row in years in the
department. 1t may mean the deposi
ton of several of the older officers
who have run affairs at their owr
sweet will for many years. AS these
officers have friends in high places the
swing of the presidential big stick
will probably be followed by storm
of protest.

Mixed Breeding.


In mixed breeding, or cross breed
ing, nothing Is accomplished beyond
the first cross, says Colorado veter-
mary bulletin. While a few good in
dividuals may be secured, the tend
ency is for the progeny to be below
conducting his breeding in haphaz-
ard way Is contending with fearful
odds, cropping in the dark following q
will-o-the wisp. In a hundred years
he would be just where he started. In
cidentally this Is just what we have
been doing in this country from the
beginning, and the reason why we
have so few pure breeds of live stock
and are, after all this time, sending
our good money across the water for
pure-bred sires which we should pro-
1uce at home.
After animals have been graded up
to a practical purity Of blood, the
longer they are bred along this line
the more prepotent they become, and
the more certain that the offspring
will uniformly possess general excel
lence of form, quality, action and
| utility.
The same is, of course, true Of all
live stock. The only certain method
of raising the average standard of ex-
cellence is by persistent breeding to
sires Of the same breed until the ma
tive blood is obliterated and the pro-
geny uniformly possesses all those de-
sirable qualities of the pure breed en-
ployed.

from a distance, the situation has looked
very much like repetition of the cordial
sympathy" with which American Prohibi-
tionists are so well acquainted. If the

face and shall be vigorously adhered to, the
matter may well be regarded as having
turned out much better than there was
ground to expect.

Prohibition is such an attempt"
Did the archbishop say that? We should
like better evidence than a newspaper inter
view, even undenied. If he did say it, does
he represent the Roman Catholic church?
Are we to understand that Rome has drawn
her holy circle around the gin mill and that

Upon this point Archbishop MEssMER will
confer great favor if he will speak again.

JENKINS AND THE LITTLEFIELD
BILL

The attitude of Chairman JENKINS of the
judiciary committee of the House at Wash
ington upon the so-called LITTLEFIELD bill,
which he refuses to allow to be reported out
because of professed doubt concerning its
constitutionality, may very properly be con-
sidered hypocritical. Minute doubts con-
corning the constitutionality of a proposed
law have never deferred Congressional COM
mittees from reporting bills nor have they
played any considerable part in lettering
Congress from passing legislation. If our
memory serves us, bills embodying all the
features of the LITTLEFIELD bill have been
more than once reported out of committee
in Congress, and the question of constitu-
tionality has never been seriously consid-
cred.
The suspicion forces itself upon the OBJ
server that Chairman JENKINS attitude is
part of the plan which was announced
from Washington good while ago, when the
report was sent out that Speaker CANNON
had "ixed the committees" so that ''tem-
perance bills" would not cause any trouble
this year.
