Our First Foreign War.

The first foreign war in which the
United States was engaged began
lis years ago, when Tripoli issued a
declaration of war against the new
world republic. The ruler of the
piratical African state had learned
that the United States had paid lar
ger sums to Algiers than to himself,
and demanded a greater annual tri-
butte. This was refused, and on
June 10. 1901, he declared war. An
American squadron under Commo-
dore Richard Dale was dispatched
to the Mediterranean, and was follow
ed by squadrons commanded by Com
modore Morris and Commodore Pre-
BILE. The war continued until 1905.
and was characterized by several
feats of valor performed by Ameri-
can sailors. The hey of Pripoli and
other Barbary rulers. who had prey
ed upon the commerce of America
and Europe, were brought up with a
short turn. Prior to the Tripolitan
war the United States and France
fought several sea engagements, but
war was not officially declared, and
the difficulties were settled without
recourse to open and avowed hostil-
ities.-Chicago Journal.

Planting for Silage.
practice

The Illinois experiment station
states that the thick sowing of corn in
rows is better for silage than sowing
at the usual distance. The conclus-
ion was reached that the crop should
be sown thick enough to choke the
plants down to where the ears were
about half their normal size. I'm
der ordinary conditions it will re-
uire from seven to nine quarts of
seed per acre but it is safer to plant
at least eleven quarts, which is bet
ter than to plant too sparingly and
thus lose a stand.
Preparation of the land for silage
corn is not different from that given
corn to be used for grain.
Ample blowing and narrowing
should not be neglected. A mellow,
friable soil will be required for
quick termination and rapid growth.
1t may be put in with the ordinary
one-row planter or even the twO-row
planter, or an ordinary eleven-hole
grain drill may be used by closing
all. but two holes. This will plant
two rows at a time, AZ inches
apart.

Weed Destruction.

As a weed eradicator the harrow Is
indispensable, but when it is to be
used for weed destruction the weeds
should never be allowed TO get be-
yond their seed leaves. When the
weeds are at this stage on a warm,
dry day, the harrow will kill mill
ions of them. In summer follow
from the time the land is shallow
plowed or double-disked the previous
fall until freeze-up the season ii il
followed, the harrow can be used at
intervals TO good advantage for ac-
complishing the following purposes;
Killing weeds, conserving moisture,
making a firm seeded, stirring up
the surface of the ground and permit
ting access of proper amounts of air,
thus giving the soil bacteria an OPP
portunity to change the plant food
from an unavailable to an available
condition.

is to make the borer lay its eggs
high on the plant so they can be cas-

when worming begins. The worms
come from the tree during the last
Of June and first of July, go into the
ground and stay there from three to
four weeks before appearing as the
adult moth and beginning the laying

for this reason that the trees should
be mounded by the end OF the first
week in August at the latest Do

The old saying that a horse is as
good as his feet should be borne in
mind by all persons who own horses.
No horse can do a maximum amount
of work if he has poor fet, or if his
feet are good but receive improper
care, points out DR.. c. w. McCamp-
bell, assistant professor Of animal
husbandry in the Agricultural Col
lege of Kansas.
1.-The nature of the work that the
horse is doing determines whether or
not he should be shod," says DR.. Nc
Campbell. Horses working on hard
roads require shoes, while, with but
few exceptions, those working in the
field do not need to be shod. In
case the feet become dry and hard
and begin to crack, attention should
be given them. Most of the poor
feet are due to improper care. A
horses feet should be trimmed at
least every six or eight weeks. In
trimming most of the work should be
done with a rasp. If the nippers
are used, too much of the hoof is
generally cut away, while if the rasp
is used only a small amount is cut
away at a time and the foot can be
kept level"

Japs Beat The Americans.

An unusually interesting story
about the japanese situation on the
Pacific coast is in the August Ameri-
can Magazine. The writer, Mabel
Abbot, describes how a Washington
farmer named Sylvester is ousted by
his japanese hired man. In sum-
ming up the situation Sylvester says:
An the Japs get more work done,
too declared Sylvester, expanding
with the unaccustomed sense of in
dorsement. A white manll throw,
say, so many sacks of potatoes in a
day. AT the end of the day some
body's got TO cook him big. expen-

FARM DEPARTMENT
How to Build Tank.

A good sanitary water supply is
necessary on every farm. Where
springs and running water are not
present and it is necessary to rely on
wells, there should be a tank big
enough to hold three or four days
supply. Concrete is good material
for such tanks. II is easy to handle
can he made in any shape or size and
easily waterproofed. The sand and
gravel necessary for constructing is
reduced materially.
A good mixture for concrete tanks
Is one part cement, two parts sand
and four parts broken stone or gray
ell. If neither gravel nor broken
stone can be obtained, mixture of
one part cement and three parts of
coarse sand can be used. The ce-
ment and aggregate should be thor
oughly mixed and the resulting mix
tire well tamped or shaded when
placed in the forms. After removing
the forms, the sides of the tank may
be flushed with a mixture of cement
and water to smooth up any little ir-
Irregularities. Heavy-woven wire fenc-
ing may be used to re-enforce the
tank. Lap the ends of the re-en-
forcing at least inches. The re-
enforcing for the walls should be
placed near the outer side and well
covered with concrete.
It is preferable to have the forms
of green lumber. If seasoned lum-
Der is used it should be dampened
with water before the concrete is
poured into the forms. This will
prevent the dry boards from absorb
ing the moisture from the concrete,
which, if permitted, would cause the
walls of the tank to crack. Make
the bottom of the tank smaller than
the top by sloping the inner walls.
This will prevent ice from breaking
the walls. The inner forms should
be built so that they may be remov-
ed easily. A wedge can be used to
advantage if the forms swell and are
difficult to remove. Avoid heavy
pounding and prying, as it is less
difficult TO build a rectangular form
for the tank, the round type is
stronger and calls for less concrete
A band saw is best for cutting out
the ribs for the round form, although
a handsaw will do very well. AS il
is a difficult task to cut them out in
a circle, saw out triangular piece,
removing as much material as posi-
BILE. Finish the circle by cutting out
the remaining material with good,
sharp handax.
The material needed for the con-
struction of a 6-foot concrete tank,
which will hold 400 gallons of wa
ter, includes: For outer form ribs,
three pieces, 2x1O inches by IA feet;
for inner form ribs, nine pieces, 2xS
inches by IL feet; for outer form
sides, eighteen pieces, 1x4 inches by
10 feet; for inner form sides, four
teen pieces, 1X4 inches by IL feet;
ten sacks of cement, 20 cubic feet OF
sand, 40 cubic feet Of gravel and &c

Fat cattle have become abnormal
" scarce at the central markets and
predictions have been made for some
time that prime corn-fed steers car
rying plenty of weight would go to
S12. The increasing proportions OF
short-fed and grassy offerings has
widened out prices. Southwestern
grassers are going on pretty freely
and these have had a marked infu-
ence in breaking values. While
prime cOrn-fed beeves have advanc-
ed TO S11.5O, the other end of the
market, as well as the middling
grades of cattle, have been working
lower. Kansas pastures will be
marketing plenty of CRASHED cattle
within the next fortnight and there
is no danger of any scarcity of such
cattle this summer. At such time
as this it surely pays to make cattle
good and fat, but so few are doing
this that fat steers have been bring
ing in the Chicago market lately as
high as $50 to $500 "a head, grassy
steers fetching around 500 to 800
each, with sales of feeders at $50 a
head or more.

Forest Notes.

ConiferOus timber has been found
to be better suited than any other
for the production of ethyl alchohol.
There are 500 consumers OF tan
min in the United States who use an
nually 625,OO0 cords of hemlock
bark, 100000 cords of oak bark. and
$4,000 cords of chestnut wood.
Experts of the Forest Service es-
innate that the farm wOodlots OF the
United States contain from 200 O
900 billion board feet of lumber and
from one to one-and-a-half billion
cords of wood.
On one of the National Forests of
the Northwest the snow lay on the
ground longer this spring than for
many years. In consequence stock
men have been considerably delayed
in getting their herds on the ranges.
All of the 2S counties of Utah con-
tain portions of National Forests and
consequently all share in the % per
cent of the National Forest receipts
which is paid over TO the road and
school funds. This is true of no 9TH
er State.
One hundred and thirty thous-
and maps of the National Forests
will be distributed to tourists this
summer. These maps show the best
camp sites, good hunting and fish
ing grounds, roads, trails, and tele-
phone lines, and give directions how
TO reach points of interest.
