HIGHER SALARY FOR
PRESIDENT IS FAVORED
Movement Has Strong Champion in
Senator Bourne and Lawmakers
Feel Kindly Toward 1t.
PROBLEM TO FACE THE NATION
If Pay Is Not Increased Only Al
tentative May Be Pensioning
Presidents.

Senators and representatives in the
main are said to feel kindly toward the
proposition TO pay the next President
100000, twice as much as the present
incumbent of the presidential Office is
getting. and four times as much as
most of the incumbents Of the past re-
ceived
Congress increased the salaries of its
members. of the Cabinet officers and of
one or two other officials recently For
years the members wished to add $500
a year to their pay. but they did not
dare do because they feared that people
would object. They made peculiar
error in their calculations, for there
was hardly a word of reproachful COM
ment when the increased pay bill went
through House and Senate. Mr. Roose-
welt is in favor of legislation that will
give future Presidents a salary repre-
sented by six figures.
1t may be accepted as one of the GER
tainties that the pay of the President
will be raised within the next few
years, and it is not impossible that the
increase will be authorized this winter.
No President wishes to be in the posi-
ton of signing bill which would add
to his yearly income at the expense of
the treasury. and so it is that if Mr..
Taft is to get 100000 for each year of
service it probably will be voted to him
before Mr.. Roosevelt retires.
Grover Cleveland made plea for
proper provision for the eX-Presidents.
Mr. Cleveland's word had its effect.
Other things have had their effect also,
and not least of these, though not gen
orally known as having had such strong
influence. is the fact that not many
months ago a daughter of a former
President died in a charitable institu-
tion in Washington.
No senator or representative who is
in favor of increasing the presidential
salary denies that $4,000 a year is
much money. 1t probably seems a large
sum to the country, but the man who
gets $4,000 and is compelled by cir
cumstances TO spend it is no better off
at the end of the year than the man
who makes $500 and is forced to spend
It, 4 man believed to he familiar with
Mr.. Roosevelt's financial condition said
that the President had spent every cent
of his salary while he had been in the
White House. and that he did not go
out of his way" to do it.

About Eggs.

In hens egg only one-fifth of the
substance is nutritious, one-ninth part
is refuse, and the remainder, the great
er portion, is water.
White-shelled eggs are not quite as
good as yellow ones, for they contain
a trifie more water and little less fat
But your purveyor knows this and FIRE
duently colors his white eggs with cot
fee.
Judged by the amount Of nutriment,
goose's egg is the most valuable
Next in order are ducks, guinea fowls :,
hens. turkeys and plovers'. Eggs con
tain n large quantity of sulphur, which
is purifying TO the blood and good for
the complexion.
To get the best egg you most feed
your fowl on grain, and to cook It in
the most digestible way you must not
boil the water. Heat the water to $50
degrees and leave the egg in it for ten
minutes. You win then digest every
morsel. But If you boil 1t for three
minutes no less than one-twelfth Of 1t
will fail to be digested. Thus II you
eat two eggs boiled for three minutes
every day you waste five dozen In a
London Mail.

Potash and pho.phoric Acid.

While we can get all the nitrogen
required in general farming from the
air and the stable manure. we can not
get all of the phosphorus and potas-
sium. and when they are deficient they
must be restored TO the soil In some
way. The element most generally de-
fcient in most Of our old cultivated
soils is phosphorus; It is taken from
the soil to- form the bones of every ami
mai and is used largely by grain crops.
Potassium is abundant In most clay
soils, but IL is IN a form that Is not
available to the plants. In sandy, loose
soils 1t is deficient. On clay soil the
potassium can be made available faster
by the use of lime or land plaster. It
Is many times a question Of whether
It is cheaper to use lime or plaster or
n buy potash salts. On a farm where
live stock Is fed the loss from these ele-
ments will be slow and when the deep

The dairyman is entitled to liberal
compensation, as he represents the
most strenuous branch of husbandry
The dairyman is confined to his work
every day in the year and follows a
branch of live stock industry that
needs methodical, systematic manage
ment. The dairyman is compelled TO
place business before pleasure or suffer
serious losses. Regularity in feeding
and milking is one of the great secrets
of success in the dairy industry. Any
branch OF agriculture that involves
such strenuous effort as dairy hus-
bandry should receive reasonable prof
It's
There is no class Of farming more
under the control of the proprietor
than dairying. 1t is branch of hus-
bandry that calls for the exercise of In
telligence and Judgment. The mer-
chant and the manufacturer keep
record of their transactions and can
tell whether their business is operated
at a profit or loss. The milk producer
can keep a record of his cows and weed
out the Improbable members and re-
place them with better performers. To
keep a record Of the individual pro-
duction of the different members Of the
herd will add interest TO dairy hus-
bandry and show the proprietor how to
Increase his profits.

Silos have been abandoned in many
cases because the milk became so bad
~ tainted as to become unstable If
the creameries and cheese factories
were as particular as they should be
they would condemn a great deal Of
the milk that is now accepted from
silage-fed herds. This is not the fault
of the silage; 1t is the fault of the
man who handles 1t. Silage has very
penetrative odor, which is taken up
very quickly by milk. If sllage is fed
before milking the milk is quite GER
tain to become tainted If the milk
is allowed to stand n few minutes In
the barn after milking and silage is
fed while the cans are standing around
the milk will be tainted. If the stable
is not ventilated or is poorly ventilated
the silage doors will linger in the stable
and faint the milk. In an unventilated
stable the stable itself will in time be-
come saturated or permeated with the
siage odor and will faint the milk
no matter how the silage is handled
The corn is frequently cut into the sllo
too green, which makes very sour sill
age, with strong odor. The silage is
frequently carelessly handled In the
stable; it is scattered through the
alleys and allowed to remain on the
floors In such instances the stable
viii be scented with the silage and the
milk will be tainted.
If good results are expected from
slage it must be properly handled in
the stable First, silage must be fed
only after milking. Second, the floors
must be kept clean and no silage al
lowed to accumulate in the alleys
Third. there should not be more silage
fed than the stock will clean up at
once Fourth, the stable must be well
ventilated. Fifth, corn should not be
cut in too green. Sixth, don't feed
modify silage
From the foregoing 1t will be seen
that silage must be more carefully
handled than ordinary roughage, One
cannot throw silage around as he
might straw or hay and get satisfactory
results. To get best results from sill
age a little extra care must be exer-
cised all along the line, more care In
filling silo, care in taking silage out,
care in handling silage In barn, care in
ventiIating stable and, withal, cleanll-
ness. If one is not willing to give this
extra care the silo is best not built,
for this is the price Of success with
sHage. Silage properly put up and
properly fed is a very cheap and most
excellent food improperly put up and
improperly fed it may be an expensive
and hazardous experiment

RESULT OF DIREcToIRE SCARE.

New Modes Teach Dressmakers
Value of the One-Picce Costume.
Fashion cares are seldom as serious
as they seem, says the Manchester
Guardian. If the alarTnists who proph-
esy the ascendency of the directoire
gown were to be believed, most women
would have good reason to adopt Ham
let's advice to Ophelia about getting
to nunnery. There is about one wom-
an in a hundred to whom the directoire
gown is or would be becoming; about
one place in a hundred in which a d.
rectoire gown is appropriate to be
worn. If woman has the classic face
and form Of Nine. Tallien, and moth

her carriage. and an artist to make
her gowns, she can take to the French
styles of 1895 with confidence. But

apologies to Browning)
Never the form and the cash
And the right gown all together.
But there's no real cause for worry,
for directoire gowns won't reign, ex-
cept in the fashion plates. And the
directoire scare will have at least one
good result. 1t will teach dressmakers
the value of the one-piece dress. Only
the woman who has worn the one
piece dress knows the holy calm Of
feeling that she needn't ever be afraid
that she is coming apart in the back"
Inventive women. unable to bear the
wear and tear of that fear, have for
some time been Joining bodice and
skirt together. making one garment Of
the two. 1t is delicious to know that
the dressmakers have got to do 1t now.
There Is. too. one point In the d.

ST. PIERRE TODAY.
No Effort to Build City Where 25, 900 |
Persons Perished.

No Effort to Build City Where 5000
Persons Perished.
1t is now nearly eight years since
Mont Pelee woke from. its sleep of
centuries and by single explosion de-
stroyed the city of St Pierre, killing
all its 25,e00 inhabitants except one
and Of its stone buildings leaving
standing only few shattered walls.
There has been no effort to rebuild.
The city is to-day what it was the day
after the explosion. The mountain has
recovered its former condition of quiet,
but the people are afraid of it. The
tropical jungle is gradually establishing
itself on the deserted area.
Eminent authorities believe that in
time there will be a new town on the
old site, for the situa ton demands il,
but it may never be as large as the old
one. A new st. Pierre would be in less
danger than the old one, even should
the mountain again erupt. Formerly
the crater was so shaped that when an
explosion occurred the full charge was
sent with fatal accuracy directly upon
the city. Now the force would be very
much divided and the town would have
a good chance of escaping entirely.
