ORDER He RE!

Information received here is that ar
engagements are now being perfected
in Minnesota, Iowa, Montana and the
Dakotas to bring two trainloads Of
real farmers to Washington and ar
rangements are being made to accord
them a hearing before the finance
committee. Northwestern senators
and representatives are arranging for
their reception.
In accordance with suggestions
made by Representative Helgeson of
North Dakota and others the North
western farmers decided to make no
effort to influence the house or the
committee on ways and means.
Sympathy in the Senate.
The farmers expect to get sym
pathetic hearing before the senate
committee, which reported the agree
ment in the last congress without
recommendation"
Like action probably will be taken
in this instance The Northwestern
farmers who plan to come here ex-
pect, according to Mr.. Helgeson and
others, that their presence in Wash
ington and protests to be made by
them will have tremendous moral ef-
feet upon the Republican senate.
Representative Davis and Volstead
of Minnesota and Burke of South Da-
kota will speak in opposition to the
Car Ho.an agreement. The three mem
bel% ramed are among the most de-
termined of the Republican opponents
of the measure.

NAPoLEON'S Rise.
Ths little Corporai's" Great Work
With the Army of Italy.

with the Army OF Italy.
Napoleon lacked FIVE months Of
being twenty-seven years old when,
March 2, 1896, he was made com
mander in chief Of the army Of.
Italy. Only twelve years had passed
since he was a charity student at
Brienne. In the meantime he had
Kept himself in the limelight and
at Toulon had won the distinction
which he knew would give him the
opportunity he longed for. The OPP
portunity came when the directory
commissioned him to see what he
could do against the Austrians in
Italy.
When he took command Of the
army OF Italy it was composed of
but $4,000 ragged, half starved sol
diers, but he breathed into it his
own invincible spirit and began OPP
erations. At his achievements the
world will never cease to wonder.
In a brief campaign of wonderful
dash, daring and brilliancy he
ruined an army of $4,000 Austrians
commanded by the greatest generals
of the age. Five armies, one after
smother, all under accomplished
generals and all greatly outnumber-
ing his, were sent against him by
Austria, and Europe was amazed at
the marvellous skill and rapidity
with which he met and overthrow
them.
? To the poor old directory the au-
'dacious young general paid no at.
tention. Its orders were treated
with contempt. ''The commission
ers Of the directory have no con-
Germ with my policy. I do what l
please" was his reply to those who
criticised his INSTRUMENTATION. AS
to how campaigns should be planned
and battles won he was his own
Judge. From the oldest and ablest
generals of the republic he took no
advice and would brook no inter
ference. lie held no councils of
war. By the intuition of supreme
genius he saw what was needed to
be done, and his advance was as rap
id as his thought. 'In our days"
he declared, enc one has conceived
anything great; it falls to me to
give the example"
And he gave it. In fifteen days
six almost perfect victories, follow
ing each other with lightning-like
rapidity, completely staggered the
Austrian rule in Italy. Beginning
his campaign on April 10, by the
28th he had the convention of Che
rasco in his pocket. Crossing the
Pc on May Z, he won the terrible
bridge of Lodi" on the 18th and
entered Milan on the 18th, with
Lombardy PROSTATE at his feet.
Utterly beaten, Austria sued for
peace, gave up to France the Meth
erlands and Lombardy, and the

Winter Course In Fruit Growing.

Many new features are to be intro
duced in the short course in fruit grow
ing az the University Of Maine this year.
Among these may be mentioned the
Judging Of nursery stock. Successful
orchards must be begun right. One
cannot expect 70 grow first class trees
from low grade stock, yet large num-
Der of low grade trees come into the
state each year. Many of these are
bought not because Of unwillingness to
pay good prices but because of lack of
appreciation of what constitutes an ideal
nursery tree The short course in fruit
growing will give those in attendance a
chance 10 examine a good collection OF
representative nursery trees and TO study
the merits OF different grades and types.
Another feature will be the reading
room. One room will be set aside for
study purposes, only. Here will be
found recent copies of the leading hor-
ticultural magaz mes of the country, to-
setner with two or three copies each OF
the more important experiment station
bulletins relating TO fruit growing.
There will also be available for the use
of the short course students q number OF
the reading books on horticulture. Stu
dents will thus have chance not only
10 hear and take part in discussions on
fruit growing but 10 get in touch with
its literature. The program is so chang
ed that those wishing TO make study oil
so me particular phase of fruit growing,
such as starting an orchard, or packing,
can do so without having TO stay through
the entire course. This course in fruit
growing comes January 80 to February
10th.
Anyone interested in fruit growing
should secure the complete program OF
the course. Apply either to Professor
V. r. Gardner, Professor of d orticul,
ture. Orono, or to Leon S. Merrill. Orc,
no, Director of Agricultural Extension.

Grs., things are 70 bs done with chem.

Great things are to be done with chem
ical fertilizers in the future. We have
scarcely begun to know how to use
them to best advantage. Some farmers
are already saving money by knowing
what to buy. In one case q crematory
was established near small city
where the wastes were to be burned.
These wastes included dead animals,
bones, garbage, paper and some wood.
The amount was not large, so that there
was not enough Of the ashes to put on
the regular market. A farmer who bad
studied the fertilizer question had a
sample of these ashes analyzed. he
found a trace of nitrogen and fair
amounts of potash and phosphoric acid.
By knowing the comercial values OF
plant food he was able to buy these
ashes at good bargain. BY using them
iud ciously with nitrate and some Or
ganic nitrogen he has complete fertil-
izsr for growing clover and slfafa, and
when a man can grow and save these,
his plant food question is settled. The
great iertilizing problem of the future Is
how to save wastes. They will be util-
lied more and more and the man who
knows what his soil needs and the com
mercial value of plant food will win.
He will he just like the manufacturer

he heard The Huguenots." and on
listening TO the performance from the
beginning TO the end he made up his
mind that Meyerbaer had excelled him
and determined TO write no more 0p-

produced nothing for the lyric stage.
His thir;y;wo years Of retirement
were spent In tie pleasures Of vo!up-

CONDITIONS IN CHINA.

An imperial edict issued in Pekin
yesterday says that the ringleaders in
the disorders in Szechuen province in
tend to proclaim independence. As a
consequence the Chinese government
has ordered the viceroy to destroy the
rebels to the last man." The vice
roy's attention has been directed, how
ever, to the fact that many of those
taking part in the disturbances are mis-
guided, and the government instructs
him to distinguish between them AMI
the actual rebels in imposing punish
ment.
The possibility Of very serious results
in Szechuen is considered grave. II
the rebellion is not promptly sup.
pressed it is likely to spread to other
provinces where there has been much
discomfort OF late.
Some OF the newspapers are urging
the people to join in the rising, but the
merchants everywhere are fearful thai
If the rebels are successful it might be
the beginning OF general confagra
ton.
The missionaries are concentrating
at Pekin. Four foreign gunboats pro-
vide all protection. Chengtu is quiet
The uprising is not at present directed

LAYS BLAME ON FATHER.

Laying the blame entirely on fathers,
Judge William II. DeLacy, of the
juvenile court in Washington, yester-
day declared that the boys of today
are much worse than those of q gene
ration ago, and that crime among
young boys is constantly on the in
crease. He declared that this con-
dition is one of the most alarming
tendencies of the age, and that some.
thing speedily must be done to check
it. Judge DeLacy was lecturing a
father in court yesterday because his
son had been arrested on a charge
Of cursing and being disorderly. He
said the boy was not to blame for
cursing, and that the father and not
the boy should be punished. It had
been shown that the father frequently
cursed about his home. Men who
set bad examples to their children
must look for Chips of the old block. :"
