Li|Iiputian Mother
 and Her Tiny Babe

Philadelphia, March Hooking more like pretty dolls than real, live human beings, Mrs. Lawrence A. Ram sey and Miss Fife Martha Lamsey, the smallest mother and the tiniest baby in the world, are doing nicely at their home in this city.
 Mrs. Ramsey in vaudeville circles is known as "Queen of the Lilliputians. :" She is 25 years old and weighs only 57 pounds. She lacks two inches of being four feet tall. Baby Ramsey weighed four pounds at her birth. The Caesa- rian operation was necessary to bring her into the world. That mother and daughter survived this most critical of operations is still being marveled at by the medical profession. Ten days after the operation the midget mother was able to sit up. Five days later she was able to walk, and before another week passed she left the hospital.
 Mrs. Ramsey was Miss Weis before her marriage to Ramsey year ago. He is also midget. The team ofsWeis and Ramsey is well known on the vaudeville circuits.

KoVukuk Natives
 Nearly Starving

The natives along the Koyukuk river are reported by Miss Car ter, who is in charge of the Epis- copa1ian mission at Allakaket, to be on the verge of starvation this winter, and their condition pitiful in the extreme. The lack of food is accounted for by the very low stage of water prevailing in all the Alaskan streams last summer thereby causing very small run of fish, which is the staff of life on the native bill of fare. Many dogs have been killed rather than to starve them to death.
 MT. Boulter, the assistant su- perintendent of education, has been sent into the country to in- vestigate conditions and furnish some means of relief.

A recent visit to Sullivan creek found things quietin the business line, and money scarce. How ever, the dumps on the pay ground are rising skyward.
 Baker, Jepson, Winde & Fer nando have the largest dump.
 Fernell, Geizheiker & Rice are running a close second, while Farnham & Co. are hot on their heels.
 Lowe, Alum, Nevelle 6 Ahrens have a fine looking dump. These boys have been handicapped somewhat by ridge of bedrock which followed parallel with their drift, and at times reaching height of 12 feet. They are now hojsting from a new shaft.
 Baker & Go. are hoisting from two shafts.
 Tom Woodson, on the fraction, is getting under way, as are also Struthers & Adams.
 The good-natured family, Egg Ter, Wallick & Nichols, are doing things in systematic way.
 On Discovery (Pattersoncreek) which is said to be cut by the boundary line between Germany and Ireland Snyder and the boys have out a fine dump.
 Pearson & Sutherland, on the hillside, are hoisting good pay.
 Kemper & Co.,, just below Shy der, are getting things in shape for long siege of hoisting. They have a fine plant and much do- ings is looked for when they get under way.
 At present the pay dirt on top of ground-which includes all dumps on the creek-will aggre gate 50,000 buckets; each bucket contains about four wheelbar- rows, and as near as could be learned the pay in the best places would clean up about $1.75 to the square foot, and the rest about S1.0O.
 All things considered, this is splendid showing. When the writer was on the ground during the holidays the boys for the

WANT FARMERS TO KEEP BOOK.
Census Directors Want Them Pre-
pared When They Gather Statistics.

Washington, Sept. I3.-Farm
economists and scientists learned
in agricultural problems, appoint
ed as expert special agents for a
brief term, are now in Washington
assisting Census Director Durand
and his staff in the formulation of
the agricultural schedule of the
thirteenth census so that the ques-
tons to be asked by the census
enumeratOrs shall be easily COM
pretended by the farmers of the
country and so draw out the in
formation ordered by congress to
be ascertained. At the same time
these practical steps are being
taken by the census bureau, the
farmers themselves will be called
upon to help push the statistical
plow over the countrywide field
of farm data. 1t will be suggested
by Director Durand to the farmers
that the work of securing accurate
returns at the coming census of
agriculture, which will be taken
April IS, 1910 at the same time
as the count of population, will be
greatly facilitated if the farmers
will keep or provide some sort of
written record of their farm opera
tions during the year 1909, This
effort to secure the farmers per
sonal cooperation is but one of
number of ways and means chosen
in the effort to secure an accurate,
expeditions and economical census
concerning population, agriculture,
manufactures, mines and quarries.
which are the subjects of inquiry
defined in the census law.

unhappy people were not put to

rulers. 1t would have been a bet
ter fate for many. Pillage and

In the above words, Mr.. Murray
Nandiver, Democratic State chair
man, discloses the determination
of the Democratic party to convert
Maryland into a one party State,
and at the same time utters a foul
libel on the Republican party. If
adherence to principle is still alive
in the Republican party-dnd we
know that it is-and if red blood
still courses in the veins of its
members, this atroCious and official
SANDER of our party, published
broadcast by the titular head Of
the Democratic party, Can have
but one result. 1t will arouse in
the breast of every Republican
spirit OF honest, patriotic and un-
alterable resentment. 1t will arm
every member of our party with
an invlnCible determination to de-
feat the Straus amendment and
elect every nominee on our ticket
by overwhelming majorities. Con-
tronted as we are by an arrogant
and powerful foe, whose self-con-
fessed design is to destroy the Re-
publican party in NJ ryland this is
no time for doubt, for quibbling or
for hair splitting, We must lay
aside every personal and factional
difference of the past and present
united front to the common
army. The life of the Republican
party is at stake Our whole
ticket must be elected and the
Straus amendment forever buried
beneath an avalanche of votes.
The grand old party expects every
Republican to do his duty.

Improving Native Sheep.

The ningling Of new blood
seems to give heavier feeders, more
size and stronger constitutions,
says the New Hampshire Farmer.
At this station the breeding of
rams of several pure breeds to ma
tive ewes has given marked re-
suits, especially with the cross of
Dorset on natives. Yearling ewes
in this flock being broader in back
and near the type ofmutton sheep,
now weighing I25 pounds and
shearing in May heeces Of eight
and three. quarter pounds of wool
of excellent length and streugl h
of fiber, are the result of only one
y .oss of a Dorset ram on native
1ewes never weighing over 95
pounds and shearing less than four
pounds of wool.
Further improvement can be
made by the weaving of the lambs
in the summer; by doing this the
ewes are given a chance to recup-
crate before the next breeding "a
son. These lambs if put on fresh
green pasture will also fatten and
be in better market condition than
if let run with the ewes until late
fall.

Full NINA TON OF MURRAY VAN
DIVER.

The attention OF voters who have
hitherto seen no dishonor in their
atl]latoin with the great party of
Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley, is
called to a letter published on the
front page ofThursday's Baltimore
Sun, over the signature Of Mr..
Murray Nandiver, State Chairman
OF the Democratic party. 1t seems
to us that this public letter of the
official head Of the Democratic
party in Maryland, in which he
stigmatizes past and present men,
bers of the Republican party as
"carpet-baggers," and foul birds
OF prey" is direct and deadly
insult to the Republican party,
but as to this we leave the rank
and file of the party to Judge, and
will be content with their verdict.
Mr.. Vandiver is perhaps to be con-
graduated upon the possession of
a remarkable sense of the eternal
fitness of things when, for the po-
litiCal condition of Democratic
| rule, of which he boasts, he gives
thanks not to the God of Chris
tianity, but to the Mohammedan
deity worshipped in the despotic
land of the passe Abdul Hamid on
the banks of the Bosphorus. We
quote below excerpts from Mr..
Vandiver's letter showing the
opinion which the Democratic par
ty entertains of the Republican
party and all things Republican.
In THURSDAYS Baltimore Sun,
Democratic State Chairman Van
diver, among other things, used
the following language:
From 1852, when the Wing
party went down in final extinc-
ton, to the Reconstruction era, the
Democratic party practically held
the entire South. Corruption in
politics was unknown. The cleo
torate was pure and intelligent
the representatives in the national
congress and in the State legisla-
ture were men of high ability and
of character beyond reproach; gov
eminent was honestly, efficiently
and economically administered
Then came that cursed, unholy
era OF Reconstruction, so-called
and for a series of dismal calami
'ous years the Southern States
were one-party States, but not
Democratic. Republican carpet
baggers, foul birds of prey, the
worst scum of the earth, swarmed
down upon the South, and with
the aid of this cursed negro suf-
frage, which it is contended should
still be hung to the neck of Mary
land, cast into chains the whole
section. Ny God, what chains
they were. 1t is an oft told tale,
and iteration may weary, but the
day can never come when every
noble heart will not throb with

A NEW VEGETABLE.
A Japanese Salad Plant That Is
nee;ing With Favor.

nee;ing With Favor.
Without reservation of any de-
scription, We now positively pro-
nounce this japanese salad plant a
decided acquisition to the Ameri-
can table and hence to the Ameri-
can vegetable grower. 1t is very
difficult to describe it, says the
New York Experiment Station
Bulletin.
1t ''favors" both celery and as
paragus, but IS very different from
either of them. Eaten raw it is
simply delicious, and has struck
all sorts OF tastes, Immediately be-
coming popular with old, middle
aged and young Of both sexes.
Cooked, if cut up and stewed like
celery, it makes an extremely
pleasing addition to the list of
creamed dishes. Cooked like as
paragus and served with drawn
butter, butter and vinegar, or any
other asparagus dressing, it is just
as marked a success.
We have proven conclusively
that it can by hil!ingl be cut in
the open at any time from Christ
mas to the middle of the month of
May. AT Christmas extremely
delicate blanched shoots from
three to five inches long and from
one-quarter to three.eighths inches
in diameter are obtained. In April
or May the stalks are from 81 to
10 inches long and three quarters
to one aud one-quarter inches IN
diameter. Six stalk equal the size
of the regular bunch of asparagus,
and these six stalks weigh one
pound. Ii has many advantages
over either celery or asparagus.
Like as JaraguN. once planted it is
always there, coming up annually
and growing to height Of four or
five feet, 1t is a bushy shrub with
a small white flower and berries
very much like elderberries. 1t
can be started from either seeds or
roots, as is asparagus. 1t de
mands no particular care, but oc-
casional cultiyation. Keeping it
free from weeds will pay. as does
this practice with ali other crops.
On Long Island it requires no
fertilizer Of any description. 1t
grows well in distinctly clayey
loan, also in light sandy loan.
Its yield per root is greater than
asparagus. 1t can be cut freely
the second year, and test of four
years shows that the stalks rapidly
increase in number, in diameter
and in height. Each new stalk, if
left hilled up, throws out roots at
joints under ground, hence having
started a small patch it is an easy
matter to secure plenty of plants
for extending the beds. 1t can be
introduced commercially through
clubs, hotels and high-class res
taurants. Like olives, asparagus
and grape fruit, some people will
have to learn to like it. But a
plant that furnishes a clear white
crisp stalk, without a particle of
vase, that can be served whole or
sliced lengthWise, like celery is
served, that makes an extremely
pleasing salad, and that can be
stewed and creamed or served in
any of the methods used for aspar-
agus, certainly is entitled to a
place on the American bill of fare.

EARLY CELERY
Department OF Agriculture Bulletins
on Use of Blanching Boards.

For early blanching on a small
scale, such as would be employed
on the farm or in the garden of the
amateur horticulturalist, there are
several methods. One of the most
common is by means of boards
placed on edge along each side of
the row of celery. This method
q also in general use for blanching
large fields of early celery.
The boards used for blanching
should be one inch thick by Il to
"a inches wide and IL to 10 feet
long. The cheaper grades of pine
will answer the purpose, but new
boards are liable to impart an I'M
pleasant flavor to the celery. The
kinds used by growers in Michi-
gan, Ohio and New York, at the
rate now prevailing, cost SIS to
$50 thousand feet. In placing
the boards in position slip one
edge we'll under the outside leaves
of the plants, then bringing this
edge upward until i'll a vertical
position along the row, having an
other board at the same time plaC-
ed on the other side so that when
in position there will be as little
space between the boards as the
thickness of the plants will permit.
These boards, when used on a
small scale only, may be fastened
into position by means stakes
driven in the ground, by mailing
short pieces Of laths across the
top every six or eight feet, or by
placing notched sticks over the
tops of the boards. Any Of these
methods would be too inConvenlent
when applied on larger scale,
and far better one is that prac-
ticed by large growers, namely,
that of using double hooks, or span
ners, about six inches long, made
of heavy galvanized Wire, bent
somewhat in the shape of the
thumb and first finger extended.
These spanners are slipped over
the upper edges Of the boards every
few feet to hold them together,
and the plants are rigid enough to
keep the boards in an upright po-
sition.
After the boards are in position
is a good plan to run celery
hiiier between the rows, and to
throw a little soil against the lower
edges of the boards to close any
openings that NAV result from the
uneven surface of the soil.
Two or three week time will
berequired to complete the blanch-
ing OF the early varieties, and the
boards must be kept in position
until the crop is removed from the
ground, after which they may be
used again two or three times dur
ing the season. If the celery is
allowed to remain in the boards
too long after it has reached mar
ketable state, it loses in weight
and flavor and is liable to be in
jured or even destroyed by the at
tacks of blight. This is especial
ly true during the earlier part OF
the season, when the weather is
warm. At the end of the season
the boards should be piled fiat,
with strips inserted at every fourth
or fifth course, and the whole pile
rooted over to shed off rain; treat
ed in this manner they will last
from ten to twelve years.
