The history of this ship Of bygone

California is celebrating the opening
Of the Panama canal. Indeed, there ia
a connection between the past of the
Portsmouth and California's presence
In the Union.
The Portsmouth was the first naval

THINGS the Farmer Likes to Know
DAIRY WISDOM.

At this time of the year there
is usually a beginning of a short
age In pastures. Start the extra
feed before the cows shrink In
milk flow.
Grain or soiling crops should
be fed to supplement the short
age In the pasture.
The true dairy COW is easily
affected by unfavorable condi-
lions. II pays in hard cash TO
keep conditions right.
Do not let the rush Of harvest
work interfere with the regular
fly in the care and milking OF
the dairy herd.
Be sure that the cows all have
plenty of clean water to drink.
Cut off the water supply and
you cut off the milk supply.

POULTRY NOTES.


A hen must certainly be uncomfort-
able with the hot sun nearly prostrat-
ing her during the daytime and the lice
sapping her vitality during the night.
Is it a wonder that the mortality is
large at this time of the year?
For hens to become weakened when
the annual molting period is at hand
means q heavy loss as a rule.
With young fowls August is the be-
ginning of the molting season. Sun
flower seed and linseed meal are valu-
abe additions to the bill of fare.
Dispose of all stock that Is not in
tended to be kept over the winter.
Cockerels can be caponized this
month.

Omen IonofeIIow's Home.

Boston, Sept. 13.-By the will Of Mrs.
Richard Henry Dana, q daughter OF
the poet Longfellow. which has been
fled for probate in Massachusetts, the
fact is disclosed that the old Craigie
house in Brattle street, Cambridge,
facing the Charles river, Is to be pre-
served intact for the public.
The old house Is a familiar sight to
all visitors TO Cambridge, with its
broad front and spacious grounds. The
surviving heirs agreed to intrust the
care of the house to three trustees, to-
gether with a sun of money for its up
keep, for the triple purpose-"frst, as
a specimen of the best colonial archi-
lecture of the eighteenth century; Sec
ond. rs a historical monument Of the
occupation of the house by George
Washington during the siege OF Bos-
ton in the Revolutionary war, and,
third. as a memorial to Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow."
1t is further stipulated in the VIII
that heirs of the Longfellow family
may live in the house by paying rent,
but when the time comes that no sur
viving heirs wish to occupy 1t the
house is to become a memorial "for
the benefit OF the public"
The deed was signed by Miss Alice
Longfellow, a daughter Of the poet,
who now occupies the house; by Mrs.
]. G. Thorp. the "Allegra" of the poem
1.-The Old Clock on the Stairs" which
was written in the Craigie house, and
by Ernest w. Longfellow. a son Of the
poet.

Market the overfat Hen.

Sometimes a hen gets too fat to lay,
although not often In her pullet year.
The best layers are in good condition
when only reasonably fat. Even where
the ration furnished is q perfectly bal
anced one al occasional hen will per-
sist in putting on meat instead Of lay
ing eggs. This condition is noted by a
dragging down" of the abdomen. When
a hen gets too fat to lay it is economy
to send her to the market.

Gets Patent on Aero Torpedo Boat.

~
Washington. Sept. 14.-An aerial tor
pedo boat for attacks on ships in pro-
tected harbors is projected In patents
Just issued to Rear Admiral Bradley
A. Fiske. The plan c~ontemplates
equipping a monster aeroplane, like
the air craft being built in this country
for the British government, with q
Whitehead torpedo Of regulation navy
type.
Swooping down at a distance Of five
sea miles, the craft would drop its
torpedo into the water Just as 1t would
have been launched from a destroyer.
The impact sets the torpedo's machin.
cry In motion, and 1t Is Off at a speed
Of more than forty knots an hour to-
ward the enemy ship.
Rear Admiral Fiske believes that the
flying torpedo boat would make 1t pos
sible to attack a feet within a handbook.
ed harbor. The range Of the newest
navy torpedoes is 10000 yards. and
ever the older types will be effective
at 1900 yards. The 1900 pound weap.
on would be taken over harbor de-
lenses at an altitude safe from gun
fire. Once over the bay the machine
would glide to within ten Or twenty
feet of the water, the torpedo rudders
would be set and 1t would be dropped
to do its work, while the aeroplane
rose and sped away.
1t is possible that a type of radio
controlled torpedo may be employed,
| one aeroplane carrying the torpedo
| and another the wireless machinery to
| control the missiles fight through the
water. 1t is pointed out that Rear Ad'
miral Fiske obtained patents on such a
method of control In 1900, when he
was a lieutenant commander In the

Washington, Sept. 13. The United
States has today the greatest supply
of gold in Its history, greater than any
other nation on earth and probably
greater than any two other nations.
The gold held in the United States In
the form Of cash or bullion Is $2!OO6.-
399,539. At the last report England
had about $500, OOO, 1000. Practically the
entire supply Of gold In England Is SAID
by experts to be government controlled
BY the last report, in 1907, Germany
held $1.O44, 100000 gold. The supply
in the United States that year was ST.
612, 600, 1000. Other leading countries or
Europe held approximately the follow

China Would Make Every Man a soIdic

Picking, Sept. 12.-An extensive pro.
gram for national defense, including
conscription for the army and econom-
ic progress, will be laid before China's
congress in December.
The general defense board has been
in session with the leading officials of
the army and the navy completing and
correcting three bills.
The first bill relates to charging the
a~rsenals and developing navy yards.
Congress will be asked to appropriate
100000 for machinery for manufac-
turing modern rifles and machine guns
and suitable appropriations to enable
the navy yards to build submarines,
torpedo boats, light cruisers and YES
sells adapted to China's waterways.
The second bill, 1t Is said, provides
for CONSUMPTION. 1t is planned to be-
gin CONSUMPTION early next year. The
general board has already taken steps
to pave the way for this measure.
which, it is expected, will be approved
by the 400, 100000 population, notwith-
