Orange y. j., Jan. 24-Secretary Of
War William H. Taft was the guest
of honor tonight at the tweny-ffth
annual dinner Of the Yale Alumni
association of Essex County. He was
cheered and welcomed by 800 Yale men,
eight Of whom were members Of his own
class of rs. of the university. Mr Taft
left most of his politics in Washington.
and, so far as Presidential candidacy was
concerned, he side-stepped them entirely.
Il have had the distinguished honor. %
said MIR. Taft, after expressing his pleas
ure at meeting so many Yale men, "of
sitting next to. and meeting my old
friend the governor of New Jersey He
was once a member Of the Supreme Court
and 1 was once Il justice of the Supreme
Court, and the last time he and l met we
discussed the judiciary and the beauties
of judicial life. and we agreed that a
man was a fool TO seek any other place in
which to make himself useful.
Fort Sets Good Example.
Now observe that you have found
the bench a good place to find an excel
lent executive. I venture TO think that
is a good example If you could have
heard him express himself on the delight
ful, philosophical. contemplative life of
the judiciary; il you could have heard
him emphasize the nervous strain of the
executive life you would understand the
sacrifice he has made in becoming gov
ernOr."
Mr. Tart went on TO speak Of finding
Y ale men at various places on his recent
round-the-World trip. OF china he said;
The truth Is, China is undergoing a
transformation The Empress Dowager
is a progressive woman and is looking
for men to lead the nation on. We got
them TO agree to pay an indemnity and
we found il was too much money. SO
having found that out We agreed to re-
turn some of it, and We hope China will
conclude that that indemnity shall be
expended on the education OF her sons in
America, and if it is it will have a greater
effect than will the education of any
other nation, because the educated man

remembering that by cutting back the
new growth every year, on the fruit
trees many of them can be grown in
small space or on the borders near
fences. :
You may have one row devoted to
%grapevines. another row to raspber-
ries, another row to blackberries, an
other to currants and several rows de-
voted to Strawberries, each row run
ming the whole length of the fruit gar
den and so planted as to admit of
horse cultivation. The disposal of the
rows Of apple, peach. pear, plum and
cherry trees can be easily arranged.
Plant the rows of trees far enough
apart to admit the various rows of
small fruits between the rows Of trees.
Grapevines will thrive equally well
when trained to the side Of the house
or to any other building or trained to
the pillars of the porches of the house.
If there is a surplus of fruit it may
be easily marketed. If sent to the city
it must be carefully packed. The crate
shown in the sketch is equipped with a
tight wooden cover, yet is sufficiently
open to allow the air to circulate. 1t
will hold about sixty quarts of Der

Of the proceeding. That his intention
was to point out the subsequent

Suggestions For Making It Profitable
as Well as Useful.
The home fruit garden is not only
attractive when the strawberries are
in bloom or in fruiting or when the
raspberries, currants, pears, peaches or
other fruits are ready to pick. The
home garden is eve an attractive spot.
No member of the family, no visitor or
other person can pass this garden de-
voted to the growing Of the various
fruits for home use without being at
tracted to it. Such a home fruit gar
den expresses much to the observer at
all seasons of the year. 1t speaks OF
contentment, of health and of the home
table embellished with beautiful and
delicious specimens of large and small
fruits.
The location of the home fruit gar
den should be as near the dwelling as
possible. 1t may embrace an acre, half
an acre, quarter of an acre or it may
be confined to the rear end Of a forty
foot lot in town or city. If you have
plenty of land. give the fruit garden

Evans on Our Naval Defects.
The report of Rear Admiral Evans
on the condition of the fleet has now
been published as a senate document.
1t confirms in all essentials the criti.
cisms passed by Henry Reuterdahl in
his magazine article. He wants the
decks higher out of the water and the
rmo belt wider. A new design of
coming tower is recommended. The
ammunition hoists are too slow. The
naval board stands pat on the width
Of the armor and the height of free
board.
New Gunnery Records.
Official records of the target practice
by the fleet while at Magdalena bay
show that the percentage Of hits has
doubled in five years and the rapidity
Of firing greatly increased. In the bat

the cruiser class, the Wilmington in
the gunboat class and the Perry in the
torpedo boat class.

required distance at each end and place
q pole upright at each end and at the
end opposite to the n where you
commence blowing. Place another
pole farther on, lining it up with the
end poles. Step off the same distance
at each end that you do at the sides,
so the land will be the right proper
ton. Start the pillow and keep the two
end poles in line between the horses
heads, and get a straight furrow to
start with. All that is o necessary
is to keep the back furrow straight
with the other. and after that keep
the horse in the furrow, and turn the
soil in even layers, slightly tapping
over, leaving no space between them.

er field. If using two teams, the first
one to finish uses the harrow and drag.
This rests the team by a change. This
method puts the land in fine condition
and saves much future work, as fresh
ly plowed land works much better
than where an, entire field is plowed
before dragging or narrowing.
Dragging Dutch fashion may be
new to some and prove Of value. Its
advantages are that it drags neither
lengthwise nor square across the fur
rows and makes easier than
the ordinary diagonal dragging. The
plain Dutch fashion is shown in the
diagram. Commence by striking out"
from A to 3. Turn to the right and
go back on the left side of first track
till you reach edge of field near A.
Drive across the first track and back
on the opposite side to the other end.
Gross over and back on opposite side
again.
Continue crossing over at each end
inside your last track and outside the
last track along the sides. When half
done the piece will look like the first
diagram, and the next trip would be
from C to D, to E. to F, to c. When
done the last trip would be from G to
H. and the piece will have been drag
ged twice ,%diagonally in opposite direc-
tons. This works we'll or pieces that
are nearly square or not more than
twice as long as wide. OF late, said
one who had tried this system, we
have found that it is economy in plow-
ing. cu~ltivating, etc., to make our lands
as long as possible. On these Dutch
dragging did not work as we'll, as it
was too near lengthwise the burrows.
SO we hit upon what we call "crazy
Dutch" shown in the second diagram.
We strike OUT zigzag across the
piece two or three or more times, ac-
cording to its length compared to
width. The diagram shows three times
viz, from A to B,to C,to d. Turn to the
right and 60 back on left to first track

side to B, then up left side to A. Cross
over and back on left side Of b. Drive

Cure an Infected Animal.
The following is the standard treat
ment for lump Jaw on cattle: II there

spoonful Of tincture Of iodine daily. II
there is no opening, rub the tlncture

the treatment until it is evident that

If willing to give up the use OF the
COW as a mixer until she is cured, you
may also, in addition to the treatment
above prescribed, give her n and q
half to two and a half teaspoonfuls OF
iodide Of potassium divided into two
doses, one in the morning and n at
night, to be given in a pint OF warm
water. Continue this for two weeks
or until signs of iodism appear, such
as a scurfy skin, weeping at the eyes
and dribbling from the nose n

or ten days and commence again II

The iodide of potassium will render
the milk unfit for use. Continue to milk
her regularly, however, and throw the
milk away, as she may be cured IN a
few weeks, and then her milk will be
all right. The disease itself does not
render the milk unfit for use unless
the COW is in the last stages, where
the general health of the COW will be
impaired.

ORIGIN OF THE HORSE.
The Modern Animal . Cross Between
Two Ancient Breeds.

7Wo Ancient 6ree0Ss
In Wissen fur ALE Professor Koenig
discusses in some detail the origin Of
the horse of today. He finds that the
horse of neolithic times was not spe-
officially distinct from the horse Of the
present. While there is no doubt that
the horse of that period was used by
mai for food. there seems to be no con-
elusive evidence as to whether 1t was
domesticated or not. His own opinion,
however, is that it was probably do
m%esticated.
The horse Of that time was closely
allied to the tarpan or semiwild horse
that lived in southern Russia up to a
century ago. This was a hog maned,"
short legged, large headed beast. 1t
seems probable that the. domesticated
horses of the Germans Of Caesars time
were derived from this breed.
The Egyptians had horses as early
as 1900 b. c. These We're long named,
more like the Arab horses, and came
from Assyria. Where the Assyrians
obtained them is unknown, but it was
probably from southern Asia, where
this long named breed has been deyels.
oped in all probability as the result Of
long continued domestication. The
modern horse is a cross between these
two breeds, with a further mixture of
the Arab horse. This Arab horse, too,
was itself a descendant Of the earlier
long named horse.
The origin of the long named horse is
a matter of doubt, but Professor Koe-
mig thinks it may have been from an
extinct Indian species.

A Freak Of tn. Lightning.

A curious case of lightning destruc-
ton took place some years ago at Cat
china, an imperial summer residence
not far from st. Petersburg, where
stood a stone column fifty feet high,
held together by iron angles. When
rain fell more or less water penetrated
the stones in the interior Of the monu-
ment. One day it was struck BY light
ming, and instantly the column disap-
peared from view, killing q lone SEN
try on guard. The only explanation is
that the heat Of the lightning instant
ly generated steam on coming IN con-
tact with some of the water and the
terrific explosion followed.
