OF THE COW.

The white and$milky way which the
gentle COW has so long travelled in
peace and honor is soon to be full of
sharp turns and rough places, it is
feared. At least that is the way it
looks from this side of the fence. A
New York man has accused his Hol-
stein cow of being guilty of deliver
ing milk below the standard. He
claims her stock is watered and that
he isn't responsible for any of her
up-to-date roguery.
The COW has been tried and found
guilty. The dairyman in question and
the yard pump have been acquitted
and the blame fixed on the. thing high
or up, the COW. She kicked at the de-
cision and tried to give the jury the
hook, but she only got deeper in the
mire. Now will the average dairyman,
when interviewed by the milk inspect
or, point his finger at the d%efenceless
bossy and say, II am innocent, she
done it herself" Isn't this a pretty
mess the average COW finds herself in?
Whereis her chance for justice? How
can she prove an alibi?.
There is but one thing for. hersto do,
and that is to stop drinking water.
But a she do it without injury to her
health and best interests? If not,
what then? She will have to find
some means of earning an honest liv-
ing other than delivering milk to a
fnssy lot of people who are afraid Iof
. little pure water in theirs.-Boston

AFTER new. Flower
Experts Working to Produce
More Prolific Varieties
Bulbs Secured from Philippines When
Planted in California Will Bloom
Early and Are Free from
Disease.

Washington.-The plant experts Of
the department of agriculture are
turning their attention to things of
beauty as we'll as usefulness, and sew
eral new flowers have been evolved
by them.
Next season in all probability some
novel varieties of lilies which are or
iginally in the departments green
houses in this city will be placed up
on the market by growers, as we'll as
a new summer blooming dahlia.
"The growing of lilies in the United
'States,' said Prof. R. T. Galloway, In
charge of the bureau of plant industry,
"is becoming an important industry.
Large quantities of bulbs have in
years past been imported from Ber-
muda, Japan and other countries, and
the demand for the Towering plants
seems to be on the increase.
Various lines of work have been
undertaken and carried out by our ex-
pert, Mr.. Oliver, chiefly for the pur-
pose of securing new types of lilies
by hybridizing and crossing, and to
demonstrate the p~racticability Of
growing lilies in this country direct
ly from Seed"
One of the most promising of n.y.
brids has resulted from crossing the
Philippine lily and the Bermuda lily.
The Philippine lily takes two months
to come into bloom from the period
of planting the bulb, while the Ber-
muda and its various relations require
in the neighborhood of five months.
1t was thought that there would be a
great saving if the time taken to force
a good Easter lily could be reduced
from one to two months.
With a view to bringing this about,
the hybridization Of the Philippine
and the Bermuda lily has been effect
ed. The result of the cross is a flower
larger than the familiar Easter lily,
but not quite as broad and a little
shorter than the Philippine lily.
Up to this time Americans have had
to rely for a sparse supply of Philip
pine lilies upon the Philippine is-
lands, and they arrive early in the
spring, when they cannot be used for
forcing. But by growing them in Cal
,ifornia they can be obtained in the
fall in good time for forcing into
flower during the winter. The plants
so far grown in California, says Mr..
oliver, do not show signs of the lily
disease.
A second line Of work in connection
with the production of lilies has been,
under way in the department for the
last four years. This embraces the
selection of plants which show free
dom from disease as manifested by
spotted leaves and distorted flowers.
Three varieties have been selected,
all of which are we'll known in this
country.
When these plants come into bloom
the flowers are cross fortified with
certain purposes in view. The seeds
from these plants are SEN to Califor,
MIA and elsewhere about the end of
the summer. They are planted out in
the field in the following spring and
in a year the growth made by the
seedlings is so great that hundreds
of plants have been recently produced
bearing in the neighborhood of 80
flowers to a stem.

WAR MADE IMPOSSIBLE.

II all the advanced" ideas were
adopted it would seem that war would
soon be made impossible. Many
schemes have been exploited in the
shape of skillfully written newspaper
or magazine articles, but the building
of big warships continues. The latest
claimant for attention at Washington
is an individual who has conceived
the t-illiant plan Of having ships
carry a reel of barbed wire at the
stern, so arranged that an end can be
thrown overheard while the vessel
steams swiftly around the enemy un-
til the latter's propellers are so tan
gled up that they cannot turn. Then.
says the inventor. "all the fleet need
is to sail away and leave its encmy's
men to starve and its ships to rust"
But the naval authorities have filed
away this most impressive sugges-
tion aicng with that of the man who
a few years ago wanted the govern.
ment to adopt a projecti!e filled with
a gas that would anaesthetize all on
board an enemys ship, so that capture
would be easy. The day Of the inven.
tor is not yet past. Nor that of the
crank,
