Every year of the future will see
the field of opera tions covered more
closely and completely by the joint
efforts of the department, the state
agricultural officials and the rail
ways, and each year viii! add to the
tonnage and aggregate value of the
crops. 1t is difficult to calculate in
dollars the great sums that have
been yearly added to orr crop val
ues by this most excellent work OF
the Department of Agriculture, but
1t is most conservative to say that
the entire annual cost of the navy
and army is now being covered by
the increase in our crop values, di-
rectly due to the Department of Ag-
riculture since it was created.
It's work not only creates value
for the individual farmer. for the
state and the nation, but those ad-
ditional values are so immense that
they sustain in great measure the
expenses of all the other
departments of our Government

The Greatest of all Departments.

/ There Is one department of the
Government which quietly. steadily
constantly and efficiently working.
has accomplished important and per-
manent results for the benefit of the
people of this country, and. indeed,
for the people of the world. The
Department OF Agriculture. one of
the most recently established depart
ments, with an official existence of
less than twenty-five years. but in
its brief lifetime almost revoltionixed
the methods and doubled the results
of cultivation in this country.
1t has by it's agents gathered for
the use of the agriculturists of the
country the seeds aud plants OF the
entire earth best suited for the areas
and soils of the Union, and has dis
tributed them to our planters and
cultivdtors, with full Information as
to their care, treatment and as 20
the results that should be expected.
The crops that have been produced
in the United States from these seed
and plants thus brought to the at
tention Of the growers and supplied
To them by the Department OF Agri-
culture through such means as stat
ed above now amount to more than
one hundred millions of dollars every
year.
The results of such splendid work,
intelligently directed as it has been
been, are of incalculable value to
the nation and to the inhabitants Of
the earth These results are not for
year, a decade, "a score of years or
Tor a century, but will bring benefits
and profits to the Inhabitants of our
lands forever. While these seeds and
plants newly introduced are adding
annually 50. much to the enjoyment,
comfort and wealth of our people.

of our farmers. 1t ia said that in
the last eleven years the number of
students in our land grant colleges
has increased from 1000 to 1900.

DREW SHIP TO ITS DOOM.

Steel Steamship Wrecked on Mag

That theseacoast's magnetic influence

Keldie of the wrecking Of the British
steamer Sandal, which was lost on the
coast in question, and has made an
affidavit embodying the foregoing state
ment. The affidavit is on file with the
Board Of Trade In England. says the
New York Evening Mail.
Not only does the commander of the
Sandal attribute the loss of his vessel
wholly to the magnetic influence of
Lapland. but Joseph Newmarch, first
mate of the wrecked vessel, swears to
a personal knowledge, gained by many
years experience in that region. of the
magnet-like qualities Of the. coast which
holds the bones of the Sandal.

aboard at Archangel, IN the White Sea.

Tyne River. England. Capt. Keldie
said:
II am convinced that nothing could
have saved the Sandal. The particular
part Of Lapland where she struck l
have since found composed Of iron and
other powerful magnetic ores, and l
am equally positive that the magnetic
attraction disturbed our compasses and
drewus steadily landward. The weather
was hazy at the time"
Mate Newmarch said that for an
hour before the ship struck 1t was I'M
possible to keep her on her course
that her head kept yawning in the d.
rection OF the land, and that, In his
opinion. the stranding was caused by
the attraction Of the land.

JAMES CADANNE, J2.,
IS GRANTED DIVORCE
Also Secures Possession of the
Boy Whom Brandenberg
Kidnapped.

ST. LOUIS. Nav 5.-James Sheppard
Cabapne. ir., today obtained divorce
from Mrs Minnie Leonard Cabanne
BrandeDberg. and was granted the Gus
tody Of their son, whom Broughton
Brandcnberg of New York recently
took to San Francisco. Mr., Cabanne
returned from San Francisco with the
boy yesterday. :,
The divorce was granted by default.
The plaintiff alleged desertion. Mrs.
Cabanne has asserted that she obtained
n divorce from her St. Louis husband
in British Honduras before she was
married to Brandenberg.
The hearing today occupied twenty
minutes. Mr. Cabanne testified that he
had often entertained .Brandenberg in
his home here. buf had no inkling OF
improper relations between the author
and Mrs Cabanuc until ne read IN
local pnper that his wife had been
named in a divorce suit filed by the
first Mrs. Brandcnbcrg. The abduction
of the boy was not mentioned during
the court proceedings.
The plaintiff testified that on the day
on which he had seen the newspaper
notice he had met Brandenbcrg by ap.
pointment.
81 showed him the paper and asked
him if there was any truth in the
story said Mr.. Cabanne. He
answered. Just enough truth TO make
it dangerous.
''I made an appointment, which he
never kept. to meet him next, and [
understand that he left st. Louis that
day.
A letter which Mrs. Cabanne wrote
the plaintiff last December was intro
duced. and extracts of it were read. In
il she said:
81 am absolutely pennilcss. and have
been so for two weeks. New York is a
cold place. ! cannot support my son,
and as l cannot allow bin to become
i'll or wasted. I will have to turn him
over to strangers unless you are willing
to take him. ] do not ask for SYM
pathy for myself, because / admit the
great wrong l have done you, but l ask
for sympathy for him.
The decree leaves Mrs. Cabanue and
Brandenberg free to marry, as the
latter 8 wife has obtained a divorce,
