Unwritten Laws for Farmers.

Some farmers cut their weeds be-
cause they want their places to
look trim and tidy, while others
wait till the law takes them in
hand and orders the roadside put in
shape under the penalty of fine,
says a writer in the Indiana
Farmer. In every community
there are always people who
grumble and fret about the op-
pressive laws, while their neigh
bors take the laws as a matter of
course and cheerfully obey them.
We are rapidly reaching the time
when all classes of men and women
must observe some rules for the
public good, but there are still
some things untouched by law that
are bounden duties in country life.
Perhaps it is just as we'll not to
have 1.-The pages of the new law
books numbered with rules and
regulations for every duty in life,
but all the same, the farmer owes
much to the community.
First of all, the unwritten law
should prevent the destroying of
fine shade trees. The man who
lays the ak to the root of giant
that has stood through storm and
sunshine for hundred years COM
mits crime unless there are very
grave reasons for the removal of
the tree. A man who bought a
field on which stood two magnifi-
cent elms complained that they
shaded dozen or two hills Of. corn
and he forthwith cut them down in
Lspite Of the protests Of his neigh
ibors. The trees were at the edge
of the field and under them weary
horses and weary people had rest

Newspaper Black, Ink White.

Forest preservation and the saw
ing of millions of dollars annually
are two of the chief points advanced
by the Fox river valley print paper
manufacturers, who came forth with
proposition that would revolution
lze the print paper industry of this
country. 1t is to use black instead
OF white paper, the ink to be white
instead of black. The idea was
suggested because of the apparent
certainty of white print paper going
beyond price where it will be
profitable for use as news paper.
Manufacturers declare that black
paper can be made for much less
than white, inasmuch as old news
papers would be the principal stock
of the black paper. Only spruce
and hemlock wood can be used for
the manufacture of white print pa
per, while almost any fibrous stock
will make black paper. Newspapers
are used now in the manufacture OF
straw and wrapping paper, but
are not available in making print
paper. 1t is estimated by manu-
facturers that less than a quarter
as much pulp wood would be
consumed if print paper were black
and the price of black would perhaps
be less than half as mnch as the
present white paper cost.
The matterWill be brought to the
attention of the big eastern paper
manufacturers at the congressional
investigating committees work in
Washington.

ed for years and years. 1t was a
favorite stopping place for movers
or people driving through the
country, and it was a real calamity
when the bare stumps were mute
witnesses of the foolishness of the
farmer. Fine old trees are a price,
less heritage and should be guard
ed carefully, though there is no
law to protect them.
Another unwritten law should re-
quire every farmer to set out fruit
trees and take care of them. Even
if he does not look upon an orchard
as good financial investment, he
owes it TO the community at large
to surround his home with fine
apple, peach and other trees. If
there is anything more forlorn than
a treeless farm it would be hard to
find. Many man refuses to plant
an orchard because he "will never
live to eat its fruit" but that is a
poor excuse. Someone else planted
trees for him, he should provide for
the future generations. Grape
vines, plum trees, currant bushes
and even apples come into bearing
a few years, and no able-bodied
man is ever too old to plant a fruit
tree. A good garden and a good
orchard bespeak thrifty farmer,
and one who has the welfare of his,
family at heart.

HIT BY A TORPEDO.
Naval Test With the Monitor Flo
rida at Fort Monroe.

The torpedo test of the monitor
Florida took place on schedule time,
and naval officials declare it was
satisfactory. The damage done,
they said, was largely localized.
The vessel was seriously, but not
vitality, injured, snd if she were a
battleship she would be in condit-
ion to keep in the fight. The
scene was most spectacular, as the
torpedo hit the vessel just about
midship, and 4 feet below the water
line, great column of water esti-
mated at two hundred feet in height
and one hundred in width, rising
into the air.
The torpedo, guided by a trolley,
struck squarely at the point marked
and penetrated the double bottom
and the coal bunker forming part of
the compartment attacked. Pumps
were Immediately set at work and
preparations made to tow the yes
sci to the navy-yard for dry dock
ling. The Florida listed about is
inches on the starboard side aft,
but vigorous work at the pumps
kept her from touching bottom.
The crew of about thirty men
and Admiral Mason and other Of
|flcials of the Ordnance Bureau,
boarded the monitor on reaching
|the place where the test was to be
held and remained there when the
torpedo tore into the hull. The
effect of the contact and explosion
was practically the same as when
a shell was fired at the monitors
turret several weeks ago. Officials
saw the torpedo about as it emerged
from the gun and followed its course
by the ripping of the water. The
torpedo gathered speed as it pro-
gressed along its course and struck
home, shaking the vessel as though
there had been a collision with
another craft. A thorough inspect
ion of the condition of the vessel
was at once begun by the ordnance
snd other officials.
Secretaries Metcalf, Taft and
Postmaster General Meyer also
went aboard the Florida and Joined
the others in looking at the Incl
pental damage on the fittings about
the deck of the ship caused by the
shock. After spending half an
hour aboard the Florida, they re-
turned to the Mayflower, which
later left for Washington.
Secretary Taft evidently was
greatly interested in what he had
seen, and frankly confessed that
the damage from the explosion was
not as great as he had expected it
would be.
The inspection of the engine room
and fire rooms showed them to be
perfectly dry and that the ship had
not been injured in her vitals.
T. Marshall Bellamy, a resident
of Norfolk, and one of a large party
who were standing on a pier watch
ing the test, reported that as the
torpedo from the Morris struck the
Florida, large piece of steel from
the torpedo flew into the air, coming
in the direction of where the land
spectators were stationed, and fall
ing within feet of where several
persons were standing.

Hartman commented upon what he
termed the apathy shown over the

state of affairs might readily prove
dangerous, as conservative voters pos

Mr.. Hartman declared that he was
in favor of tariff revision and that he
believed the tariff should have been
revised six or seven years ago, when
ether financial changes were made.
