PEARY'S FEAT HAILED.
Scientific Body Votes Him Medal for
Discovering North Pole.

Washington, Nov. 4.--For having
reached the North Pole, Commander
Robert E. Peary was yesterday vot-
ed a gold medal by the National
Geographic Society.
The board of managers Of the So
ciety to-day accepted unanimously
the report of its subcommittee of sci
entists who had examined the ex-
plorer's records and proofs and found
them to be conclusive Of his claim
that he had reached the Pole.
The society adopted resolution
that the question Of whether or not
any explorer reached the North Pole
prior to 1909 shall be referred to a
subcommittee of experts with au-
thority to send for papers or make
such journeys as may be necessary
to inspect original records. This in.
dicates that the society proposes as
soon as possible to pass upon the
recc 'ds OF DR.. Frederick A. Cook.
The scientists will spare no ex
pense that they may be convinced or
this point. DR.. Cook will be advised
Immediately Of the soc,ety's action.

College Girls Ancestor.

THE late William Bristol" said a
Rochester lawyer, "was one of the
founders of the Republican party.
Mr. Bristol at SS was a mine Of his
tory.
"He had keen sense of humor,
too. | once asked him If he didn't
marvel at the changes brought about
by modern timeS--at the glorious
college girl, for Instance, with her
swimming and jumping and basket
ball and other athletic attainments.
He said that the athletic girl
wasn't a novelty. She was a recru-
descence. He said that in his youth,
when a young fellow asked to marry
farmers daughter, the farmer
would pat the brown cheek of his
broad-shouldered, six-foot girl, and
say gently:
"'It amt everybody I'd trust my
little wood violet TO. But; thar, thar,
take her, Bill. But ye must take
good keer Of her. She's been raised
kinder tender. Three acres a day,
recolleck, is all ! ever ast my little
birdie to plow, and an acre Of corn a
day is all she's used to hoein'. She
kin do light work, sich as diggin'
post holes an KILN hogs, but she
amt used to reg'lar farm work, and
you mustn't expect too much Of her.
It's hard for her old pappy to give
his little sunshine up. He'll have
to split his own wood and dig his
own 'taters now"

"Oli Hines" was an odd character,
member of the Richmond Howitz-
ers. He was short, squatty, stoop-
shouidered, bow-legged, with an
aquiline nose and cock-eyed, deaf as
a post, and at least seventy-five years
oldc Nobody knew whence he came
or what was his nationality. He
never talked, and never did any duty.
other in camp or on the field He
detested shoes, and generally went
bare-footed, summer and winter. Ma
turally, his feet were as tough and
hard as leather. When the boys
wanted little fun they would give
"Old Hines" a piece Of hard-tack or
some corn meal. and he would tuck
up his trousers, give war whoop,
jump into the fire and kick the
smouldering embers IN every direc-
tion, with war dance that would
have made Comanche Indian envi-
Gus. When fighting commenced he
would begin to hunt for the plunder
all over the field. No danger daunt-
ed him. Gathering up his booty, he
would seat himself on the ground in
the most exposed position, near the
battery, and calmly proceed to over
haul and mend the overcoats and
other garments he had picked up,
singing all the while "Shoo fly, don't
bother me-" AS the fighting grew
hotter and the bullets flew faster, his
spirits seemed to rise, and he piled
his needle with greater industry and
sang "Shoo fly" with redoubled en-
ergy.
In the battle of Fredericksburg.
when Hecla, Vesuvius and Etna were
vomiting fire and smoke and death,
just in the rear of the battery, on
the top of perfect pyramid Of over
coats, blankets, knapsacks and fry
ing-pans, sat "Old Hines" with his
legs crossed, tailor fashion, sewing
for dear life, right in the range of a
dozen batteries on the firing line.
And that night, as we left the field,
we passed him. trudg!nS along un-
der pile Of plunder. He made me
think of the pictures of Atlas, with
the world on his shoulders.
Doubtless "Old Hines" has long
since been gathered to his fathers"
but there are lot of old soldiers
now living who would like to know
what became Of "Old Hines" of
whom 1t may be said that there never
was poorer soldier, a greater plum
derer on a battlefield, or a braver
man. j. Russell WRIGHT

GERMANY SEEKS COTTON.
Colonial Secretary Confers With the
Washington Officials.
washington Special to New York
journal of Commerce.

Journal of Commerce.)
Bernhard Dernburg, the German
Colonial Secretary, accompanied by
a subordinate official of Berlin, has
been visiting Washington. Chair
man of the Tariff Board Emery intro
duced the visitors to various govern
ment officials. The Germans visited
the department of agriculture, pay
ing special attention to the bureau
of plant industry. To the officials at
the department, it Is said, they spoke
quite freely of the cotton conditions
in Germany.
1t is said that the continued high
price of cotton exported from the
United States to Germany and the
threats of combine between the
American producers Of cotton are
causing the German weavers to grow
apprehensiye, and they arc looking
TO establish the cotton growing in
dustry in the German colonies in
East Africa that their spinners may
be guaranteed a sufficient supply of
raw cotton at lower price than
that at which they can procure it
Of us.
Herr Dernburg is said to be very
well acquainted with the Southern
States, and he will travel through
them this fall and winter looking
into our methods of raising cotton,
negro labor and the like, that practi-
cal methods of raising cotton may
be established In Africa. He said
that the German colonies in Africa
had already started the industry,
and that last year they raised about
5000 bales.
In this connection, 1t Is said, Eng
land Is in about the same condition
as Germany. few years ago the
Association of Spinners in Manches-
ter sent a similar delegation to this
country, which likewise conferred
with the government officials in this
city to see what could be done to-
ward establishing the cotton industry
in Egypt that the English spinners
might be assured Of a market where
the raw cotton could be purchased
at proper price.
1T was stated by the officials at the
department that there are practically
only two countries that offer nppor-
tunfties for cotton raising-Africa
and South America. If the Euro
pean countries persist in fostering
the cotton industry in their colonies
in these two countries, 1t is destined
to take away some of our foreign
trade in this commodity, according
to expert opinion here.
The German visitors leave directly
for Tuskegee, Ala, to visit Booker
Washington to confer over negro la
Dor and it's possibilities in Africa in
raising cotton. From there they will
travel extensively through the cot
ton States, being due in Texas in
few days.

FERTILITY OF WHEAT LAND.
Rotation of Crops and Application of
Proper Fertilizer Necessary.
(Bloomingtor. III. BulJetin

Bloomington, H., Bulletin.)
The fertility of wheat land must
be kept up at any cost If it is to
produce good crops Of wheat, but l
am certain that in many parts of the
country the fertility is surely declin-
ing.
| find that there are yet many far
mers who will not try to revise the
process. 1t is not such great task
to keep up the fertility of the wheat
land If the owner of the farm is
willing to take the information that
is to be had and study the question
Min the right way for himself.
Wheat land cannot be kept up in
fertility If the process of wheat grow
ing every year is followed. There
are two things that must be done to
build up the fertility or even main
tain it. #..
A rotation must be established and
some fertilizer, such as potash, nitro
gen and phosphates, must be applied
in some form and quantity eacn
year. Rotating so as to bring in
some leguminous crop at least every
few years will help keep up the sup
ply of nitrogen and will improve the
physical texture of the soil.
Potash and phosphorus can be'ap-
piled in small quantities each year at
small cost per acre, and this must
be done If the quality OF the land is
to be maintained.
Rotation Is a good thing, but it
can never bring in potash or phos-
phorus that has been taken from the
land or which the land lacks.
With proper handling the wheat
lands can be made to produce more
than they did in their former condi-
ton, for, in addition to putting back
the fertility, We can improve them by
draining, many Of the wheat fields
being in need of this. However, it
cannot all be done in one day. A
little must be done each year in the
way of putting in the fertility che
crops have need Of
The benefits of rotation cannot all
be gained in few years, but the
turning under Of sod or the roots of
leguminous plants will be constant
method Of improving soil conditions.
