Shredded Corn.

When corn is husked and the slower
shredded at a very slight increase in
cost liver that Of husking by hand, the
practice must commend itself to every
farmer on account of the greater con-
venience with which the material may
be handled and fed, and the ability to
preserve the material from damage by
rains, etc, says Director H. ]. Waters,
Missouri experiment station. Not only
so, but the greatest single objection to
the present method of handling slower
is the difficulty of getting it out of the
field during the winter and early spring
months without injury to the land and
the growing wheat crop, which is often
sown in the corn in autumn.
Moreover, shredding undoubtedly re-
lieves the farmer of one of the most
dlsagreeable tasks on the farm-the
handling of the coarse stalks in bad
weather, and relief from the necessity
Of digging this material out of the snow
in winter. Likewise, 1t also makes II
possible to feed the material under a
shed or in the barn, using the portion
refused by stock for bedding, and still
have the manure in a condition to BE-
handled easily by a manure spreader.

What's the Trouble.

That there has been some emer-
gency in international relations of the
United States which convinced the
administration of the urgent need of
squeezing out of congress every cent
possible for navy is believed by rea-
son of recent developments. The
emergency is so serious that the presi-
dent and Secretary Root have taken
steps to inform several prominent con-
gressmen of it in hope of securing
more favorableattitude toward the four
battleships measure.

Experience everywhere teaches thA~
an orchard will live longer, bear better
and be more profitable for being well
cultivated and enriched. The expert
ment stations have tried both methods
and have collected opinions from the
best fruit growers in their sections,
and the verdict in almost every case is
that cultivation is necessary for
healthy trees and first-class fruit.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be
applied to fruit trees, particularly af-
ter they come into bearing. Potash may
be had in wood ashes and muriate Of
potash. 1t is most commonly used In
the latter FORM An unusual applica-
ton of potash should be made upon
bearing orchards, 500 pounds to the
acre.

The Educated Farmer.

A farmer needs more education thai
either physician or a lawyer, for he
has need in his business of a knowl-
edge more or less complete of all the
natural sciences, and his Is the only
occupation that deals with the sciences.
That education drives the young man
from the farm proves nothing except
that all men cannot be farmers, for we
must have all the trades and profess
sions filed. But agriculture Is more
important than all other callings COM
bined, for the farmer feeds and clothes
the world Therefore the better the
farmer knows his business the better
will the world be clothed and fed.

SENATOR DAVIS FAvoRs 1T
Grandfather Takes Hand in Proposed
Duke of A5ruzzi-Elkins

stephen, | am not much for dukes,
but if Katherine loves him, and wants
him, the old man is with her-and if
it is money that is needed she can
count on HE for every dollar in the
pile. My girls wouldn't let me marry
the woman | wanted-and | know how
Abruzzi and Katherine feel. You can
count me in on the deal, and the old
man is backing the girl for her hearts
desire
Henry Gassaway Davis, former
United States senator and democratic
candidate for vice president in 1904,
father of Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, and
grandfather of Katherine Elkins, has
taken hand in the love affairs of the
duke of Abruzzi and his favorite
granddaughter. He is popularity sup
posed to be worth $60000,000.
Some time ago ex-senator Davis
wanted to marry Maude Ashford. She
was poor and her family was not
prominent. The eX-senator's two
daughters, Mrs. Elkins and Mrs. Ar
thur Lee, protested so vigorously that
Miss Ashford refused to marry him,
declaring that she did not care to dis
rupt the family.
The ex-senator accepted her deci
sion regretfully, and has since held it
against mis- children that they de-
stroyed his romance.
When the favorite, katherine, fell in
love with the duke responsive chord
was struck in the heart of the elderly
grandparent.
The statement quoted above was
made to his son-in-law, Senator Ste
phen B. Elkins, in the course of fam
| lily council.

MINES AND MINING.

San Francisco.-Silver bars, 549sc;
Mexican dollars, 81.
A strike of rich gold ore in the
Umatilla mine in the Orogrande (Ore)
district is reported. The report states
that an ore body eight feet wide has
been encountered in the lower work
ings of the mine and that the ore
averages in value $24 to the ton.
A contract has been awarded for
building the 200 ton concentration to

$4,000.
At a recent meeting of the executive
committee of the Montana Mining as
sociation the taking over of the Pan
handle smelter at Standpoint, Idaho,
was ratified and the papers signed. A
proposition was received and favor
ably considered for refining of asso-
citation ores at Cook City, Montana
this plant, however, to remain with its
present owners.
Wallace, Idaho.-County Assessor
Smith reports that in 1907 there were
2O4 mining claims patented in Sho
shone county, which is far in excess
of any other year. Claims represent
an area of 3211 acres.
The last carload of ore sent out from
the Westmont mine, on SLOGAN lake
averaged 405 ounces of silver to the
ton. This is the third carload sent
out since the opening of the mine.
British Columbia Mines.
The War Eagle mine, in Rossland
which was believed to have been prac

The we'll known Banner group OF
copper claims in Summit camp, which
has been inactive for several years, is
about to resume operations. -
For many weeks to come there will
be no work done at the CRANKY mines

Hodges states that on account of the
repairs to be made to the smelter Of
the company the shipments will be
reduced for some time, and it has beer
determined that the mines will MOI
be operated on Sundays. While the
repairs are going on there will be one

DRASTIC ORDERS GIVEN

Railroad Gives Orders to Discharge
all But Citizens of U. S.
Pittsburg, pam order has been
issued by the Pennsylvania railroad
to discharge all foreign workmen and
to employ in their stead native Amer
lean or naturalized citizens. This ac
ton is in line with that of big coke
companies, who not long ago decided
to discriminate against alien labor as
undesirable from the standpoint of
efficiency and because of its disorderly
tendencies. When the order reached
Pittsburg to discharge all foreigners,
some of the foremen in the cleaning
departments and section forces object
ed. When the objections reached head
quarters peremptory orders, supposed
to have been issued by superintendent
of these departments, were issued to
discharge foreigners at once. The or
der means that thousands of foreigners
who have been favored in the past will
be out of employment. Foreigners
who are out of work have learned that
if they are naturalized no objections
are uuduS W llClu. HAo q lCOullB NilN

Hold Troops for Elections.
Detroit, notwithstanding to officers
of the Seventh regiment the real rea
son why the Seventh did not go to the
Philippines recently is that the gov
eminent fears anarchistic and labor
troubles, particularly at election time
this fall. Two weeks ago the Seventh
was ordered to the Philippines. A
week later the order was countermand
ed, without explanation. 1t is declar
ed here that President Roosevelt and
Secretary Of War Taft think the pos
sibility of serious rioting in the United
States is strong enough to warrant
keeping the soldiers in this country
The Seventh was to replace the Second
regiment, now on its way home. Now
no regiment will take the place of the
Second in the islands. 1t is said the
government thinks the menace of dis
order by unemployed workingmen, in
cited by anarchists and radical social
lists, is really greater than the danger
of actual anarchists rioting.

stabIinE Hornea.

We can learn from the japanese a
thing or two about stabling horses. In
that country horses are backed into
their stalls; then door is closed at
the head, which has grain and hay
rack conveniently constructed, to which
the nag is secured. When needed, the
door is swung back and the horse led
forth. No one gets kicked, no refuse
matter is visible to the visitor, and It
seems to be a sensible way to construct
place for any horse.

 His name is Maurice Bordel.
 He is a rich retired merchant. His official testimony was practically re- iteration of what he told the newspaper men, but he insisted that Mime. Stein heil should not have hoped to marry him, because he had distinctly advised her against obtaining divorce and told told her he could never marry her on account of her children.
 "It was impossible for me to be, lieve," he said, "that the woman whf was so light-hearted and gay over tn telephone in the morning committed these atrocious murders at nightfoll.'

This will be the most important deal consummat- ed in Globe district for many years. By the terms of the agreement one million dollars is to be paid into the treasury of the company, to be used for development purposes, the first pay ment of $250,000 to be made within the next ten days, and MT. Gum and his associates are also to have an option on 100000 shares of treasury stock at $l0 par, which if exercised will give the reorganized company $3,000,OO0 ad- ditional, ample to provide tho most complete equipment and reduction works of large capacity. The reor- ganization plan contemplates a capital of 100000 shares of the par value of $l0 per share, of which the new interest is to have 100000 shares, the stockhold- CTS of the present company 100000 shares, and 100000 to be placed in the treasury.
 Negotiations arc also pending for the sale to New York interest of group of claims that adjoins the Miami and Inspiration, and is considered one of the most valuable properties in that part of Globe district.
 It is also learned that a company is being formed in Calumet, Mich, to take over group of claims adjoining the property of the Superior & Boston Cop per company.
 Never before in the history of mining in this territory have so many big deals, aggregating millions of dollars, been made in the space of a few weeks, as are now being closed for mining properties in the Globe district.
