Science, the Farm, Success.

The Messenger tonight prints else
where in its columns the story Of how
one Franklin county farm, by a proper
mixing Of brain and Drawn, has taken
from the soil wealth in the form of pota-
toes and has acquired a reputation such
as justities the use of his methods as an
example for others to follow Mr.. Brig.
ham has secured the excellent profits
which are bound to follow the use Of
scientific methods in the carrying on of a
farm; he has made a business Of farm.
ing and has met with most gratifying
success
Mr.. Brigham has done what science
teaches all may do; make land that is
not ideal accomplish remarkable results
by supplying to it those essentials it
lacks and which science stands ready to
give. Selection seems TO be the keynote
of his work. His farm is an out of doors
laboratory and he profits by his mis-
takes nature shows him he has made, He
gives minute attention TO the details, for
it is from little things that the greas
ones grow; and his time is not wasted
as the account OF his activity demon
strates.
Having produced. Mr. Brigham devotes
his personal attention to the matter of
distribution, for he rightly considers this
as important link in the chain as any
other And the sum total of it all is
spelled in the single word success.
There is no need of any extended com
ment on what Mr.. Brigham has accom-
plished. II is a simple story that speaks
most plainly for itself. The whole should
gnur ga oh filler of tho soil who roads II
into desire to try for himself methods
other than those used by his fathers, and
it offers the promise of most pleasing re-
suits to all who do so.--St. Adams Mes
senger.

Bombarding Icebergs.

Representative Parran of Maryland
has introduced bill in Congress au-
thorizing the secretary of the navy to
conduct experiments to ascertain wheth-
er the target practice Of warships or
bombs dropped from aeroplanes may not
be used to destroy icebergs, and the bill
appropriates one hundred thousand dol
lars to be used in the experiments. 1t
is possibly something worth trying, al
though it may be as well for Congress
to obtain the opinions of seafaring men
relative to the proposition. So large a
proportion Of an iceberg is under wa
ter that it would appear to be we'll
nigh hopeless undertaking to destroy it
by bombardment, and the terrible eX-
pcrience of the Titanic shows that it
Is the submerged portion, extending far
out from the visible portion, that IS
the most dangerous. Besides, was it
not an American who, after witnessing
a disastrous repulse by the British, asked
if there was not some way to
go around. 1t would seem that the SAT-
err course with reference to icebergs will
always be to sail far enough to the
south to keep out Of their way. II may
vet be that the steamship companies
viii find it more profitable to advertise
a southern course than a breaking of
the record in crossing the Atlantic.

Secretary Knox Return.

Events, both engrossing and startling,
I have moved so rapidly of late that the
\ public has had its attention diverted
from mission that was intended to
! promote a better understanding with
some Of our near neighbors, and which
ii Is hoped viii have that effect. The
diplomatic visit Of Secretary Knox to
the republics on the Caribbean has been
made at a time of great unrest in those
countries. In fact, almost all times are
Of such character under those gov
crnments and the situations to which
they give rise are a source of embarrass-
nent to the United States, considering
her relations to them which are involved
in the Monroe doctrine.
His errand to those countries was to
personally present to their ruling au
thorities the reinsurance of the friendly
intentions of this country toward them.
The secretary OF state is the personal
representative of the nations diplomatic
policy and the messages that he may
carry have more force and impressive
ness than though they were sent through
more impersonal channels. The tour of
Nh Root through the South American
republics, when he held the position now
occupied by Mr.. Knox. had an excel
lent influence upon our relations with
item 1t steadied their confidence in
the motives and purposes of this gov
eminent and that confidence has not yet
been shaken. 1t is apparent in i'm
proved commercial relations and in in

NJ Knox has been called upon to deal
have been nearer TO us and have lacked

the countries farther south They seem
to be the Balkans OF this hemisphere.
