Mr.. Carmack's Statement.

Asked for a statement of his views regarding
the action of the committee, ex-senator Edward
w carmack dictated the following:
While have known for weeks that Governor
Patterson was determined that this nomination
should be made otherwise than by direct vote
of the people, hoped to the last that the COM
mittee would show some respect for the plain
will of the people.
I confess was not prepared for display of
personal partisanship which showed no respect
for even an appearance Of fairness. Every friend
of mine was deliberately excluded from the COM
inittee of five chosen to prepare the plan of
nomination, although / am informed that u

FERTILITY OF SOIL
Science of the Growth OF Plants
Should BE Understood by Farmer.

A. r. Whitson of the Wisconsin sta
ton says: Directly or indirectly the
food of mankind comes from the SOIL
and there is, therefor@, nothing more
important in agriculture than that the
factors. which determine the produe-
tiveness of the soil be thoroughly I'M
derstood. This bulletin Is written for
the purposes of putting before the
farmer a statement of our present
knowledge of the factors which infiu-
ence the fertility of the soil and of the
relation of these factors to each other.
The agricultural plants require for
growth a favorable temperature, light,
and supply of material including car
bon dioxide, water and certain chem.
ical elements derived from the soil.
The chief of these elements are nitro
gen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium
and magnesium. Since oxygen is used
at every point of the plant where
growth takes place. 1t Is needed at the
tops of the roots, and therefore soil
must be aerated. All these condi-
lions are dependent on the climate, on
the physical and chemical conditions
of the soil, and on various changes
going on in the SOIL

FARM LABOR.
Hard to Get and OF Poor 0uality--A
Suggested Remedy.

One of the most common complaints
t0-day coming from the farm IS the
"ncompetency Of most Of the faym Ia
Sorers that can be secured. 1t 10 not
70 be doubted that this will result
finally in the establishing OF some
kind of school or bureau where IL
will be possible for crude laborers 10
be made into competent farm labor
ers. There are thousands OF idle men
in the cities in ordinary times tnat
would be glad to go out and work In
the country il they understood the
work. Farm work also varies SO great
~ in character that one kind OF farm
laborer is not well fitted to do other
kinds of farm labor.
Thus city man that has worked
as stable man in a great horse-breed-
ing establishment would not be well
fitted by his experience to go to work
for a horticulturist When he loses
his position with the horse-breeder, ne
turns his face city-ward and goes to
work for some man in town. Ii ne
had an opportunity to learn how TO
do all kinds of farm work he could
readily change from one class of work
to another, but as matter of fact It
| is not easy for man that wishes to
learn farming to get with man that
will let him learn all kinds of farming.
Usually his work is so one-sided that
he makes little progress.
This is matter that will doubtless
be taken up in time by the depart
ments in our agricultural colleges that
deal with farm economics, thinks
Farmers Review. 1t would be entire
ly easy for some one of our agricul-
tural colleges to start such fitting
school as an experiment, with the
idea of turning out annually few
all-around farm laborers, who would
have learned many kinds of work IN
the various departments of the expert
ment station farm. Laborers so taught
would have the advantage of having
been taught more correct principles
of farming than is true with most la
borers, who pick up good deal O.
error with the facts they acquire.

DWARF FRUITS.
Earliness Is Their Chief Point OF Ad.
vantage Over other Varieties.

Dwarf fruits cannot be made COM
mercially profitable, but they have
some advantages over other fruits I'M
the earliness with which the tree be-
gins to bear. Dwarf pears under good
treatment as to soil come quickly into
bearing. The most prolific sorts give
some fruit the second year after set
ting, and increase the product from
year to year for number of years.
A good many dwarf apples are now
being planted, and these soon produce
good crops. OF course these trees are
short-lived and cannot be made to
take the place of the standard sort
of apples and pears. There are
many farms, however, on which 1t is
desired to have some fruit In q
few years, and these furnish the
means.
They should not however, be plant
ed between rows of standard trees, as
some suggest, but in plantation by
themselves. The plan of planting be-
tween standard trees short-lived trees
that are to be dug out never works
out satisfactorily. Here and there will
be found short-lived tree of more
than usual value and longevity and
the owner will not cut 1t out. Nor
should such trees be dispensed with
till they have passed their period Of
usefulness. II they are in q planta
tion of their own the best trees cal
be left to grow and bear fruit Ions
after the others have been cut out.

the wolves with dogs, and then when
the wolf was cornered shoot it. But
there was one part of the business he
looked on with growing distaste, and
that was the fact that Jedekiah Will
liams had to do considerable trudging
through the woods to capture each
wolf
"'Dogs being the natural enemies
of wolves Jedekiah said thoughtfully
to me one day, it seems as If there
ought to be some way in which they
could be taught to kill the wolves and
bring the bodies back home. In that
way the time | spend blithely chasing
over hills and dales after big gray
wolves might be devoted to the ad-
vancement of the human race, or at
any rate to the comfort of Jedekiah

money in 1t for me- he added, PEN

SHOULD DEMAND
PURE ARTICLES
Wives of the Land Could Stop
the AduIteration of
Food.
ADDRESS BY CHIEF WILEY
IMPORTANCE or MOTHERS BE-
ING Externally VIGILANT.

Washington. March 1S.-An urgent
plea for pure food in the household
was made today by DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem
istry of the department of agriculture.
in an address before the international
Congress on the Welfare of the Child,
which is being held under the auspices
OF the National Mothers Congress
DR.. Wiley emphasized the impor-
tance of the mothers of the country
being eternaliy vigilant as TO the
source Of food products that come into
their homes. to see that they are
fresh. uneontaminated, palatable and
wholesome.
DR.. Wiley said that the best means
of executing the pure food law is IN
the household. If every mistress OF
a household in this country should de-
mand pure foods he declared. there
would be little difficulty in courts and
manufacturers would soon cease max
ing things which the mothers of this
country would refuse TO buy for use in
their families
He added that there should be a cry
against the mixing of certain sub
stances with foods to make them pal
atable. DIR. Wiley called attention tC
the great Importance of purity in such
articles as butter, maple syrup, hone
and all dairy supplies. The danger to
health and actual threat of death IN
the case of infants that are fed i'm
pure milk is one of the greatest curses
of the century, he said.
My plea is" he said, lin order Il
secure pure food in the household, that
this and similar organizations unite &c
compel the manufacturers and dealers
in foodstuffs TO stop all authorizations
to stop all misbTanding, to stop al
coloring, all deception and furnish the
pure. unadulterated and palatable ar
tiCle."
