KNOCKED HE?L AND SALUTED.
How General Sumner Rebuked a West
Point Lieutenant.
An incident happened on the day of
the surrender of Santiago which was
amusing, and showed the Importance
that young West Pointers feel when
tbey first wear a suit of the blue after
discarding the cadet gray. A young
second lieutenant, who had been graduated
from the first class a couple of
months before the regular graduation
at West Point, had Just joined his
regiment and was walking down the
street near the palace. He stopped on
"the corner, and as he did so an old
griuied soldier with a growth of
beard on his face and with a cavalry
. sergeant's stripe on his breeche3, a
blue shirt and campaign hat, but with
Yio othM* m?>rV nf runt nhnnt" his imi?
form except his sergeant's stripe,
"walked slowly down and stopped in
front of the lieutenant, looking aroufid
ait the different buildings. The yoUttg
officer fidgeted a few moiAefctS under
the manner in which the trooper ignored
his proximity, and finally turned
on him and said, sharply: "Here, ycU
man, did any one ever teach you how
to salute?"
"Yes. sir," drawled the trooper, as he
glanced at the youngster.
"Well, knock your heels together,"
Bald the young officer, and the trooper
came to attention with the precision
of sin old soldier.
"Now salute," he said, and the
trooper's gauntlet came to the rim of
his hat and stayed there until the
young lieutenant answered it, at the
same time demanding: "Now, remember
this, and don't let it happen again.
What is your name, and what de you
belong to?"
Without relaxing his pOsftf&d from
attention the old ttooper fcgajn respectfully
saluted and Ihmarked dryly:
"My name is Samuel Sumner, and I'm
brigadier general of the cavalry
gade," whereupon the young lieutenant
proceeded to copy as Ifiany colors
of the rainbow with his face as was
'? % possible, and slipped away as soon as
he dared, forgetting even to apologize.

Sometimes maggots or liee injure
young trees n't the roots, peach and
plum trees being more frequently attacked
than other kinds. Remove the
earth, so as to expose as much of the
roots as possible, and saturate the
earth at the roots with soap-suds and
then scatter a pound of kainit on the
roots before returning the earth to its
place. The trees will not be injured
end the parasites will be destroyed.

most showy flower plants become
weeds if they escape from their proper

Success on the Farm.
Farming is a business, and every
farmer is in condition not only with
his neighbor, but with fanners in all
countries. When there Is a Surplus'
of any crop the price fails, arid each
buyer then selects the be?t arid reject*
the iSferibfc. The fanrie^r must
grow larger an$ better crops in order
Mefet competition in his line.. To
lib so he must use the latest improved
implements, and be willing to invest
in chemical fertilizers, so as to reduce
the cost of production. The man with
the tools and implements will always
go ahead of him who depends
solely on hand labor.
A Hint to Peach Cultivators.
Those who grow peaches should
keep a continued lookout for indications
of the yellows. A premature
ripening of the fruit is one of the
first symptoms, though the lack of
flavor in the peach should enable one
to detect the disease if he is familiar
with the variety. But when the little
yellow looking sprouts aud bunches
of leaves *eem tb break out through
the bark at nlaces where no branch, s
Should be expected, then it is a sure
thing that the tree has the yellows,
and the sooner it ifi disposed of the
better for the re^t bf the orchard: Cut
it down or dig it otit root and branch,
talcing care hot to touch another tree
with it While doing so, or while carrying
it out. Then as soon as dry
enough burn it. Do not let even the
smoke of the burning blow toward the
other peach trees, and do not set ao
other tree near the spot where thD
condemned tree stood.
x.
Fali Planted Treea?
There is a security of investment In
trees for fall plantihg. that does not attach
to spring planted trees. In the
fall planted tree the risk is minimum;
whereas, in the tree set out in the
spring it is maximVim. This has been
our observation and experience. The
tree *that is planted in the fall has
three or four months to fortify itself
at the roots before nature calls on it
to pump sap to the top for new
top growth. It soon establishes itself
firmly, takes a vigorous root, and is in
condition to develop itself above the
surface, at the very first call for renewed
growth. It is firmly set by the
late fall and the winter rains, and if
the summer should be dry. it will not
suffer like the spring set tree that is
still unsettled and weak at the root.
In planting, we prefer one year old

at first, but we venture the assertion
that one year old trees, set out in the
fall, will surpass In growth any two
year old trees that are set the following
spring. Root growth is the prime
object at first and in no way can it be
more surely obtained than by planting
one year old trees in the fall of the
year. A vigorous top growth is sure
to follow as the season advances.?The

A Profitable Combination,
To combine poultry raising and
gardening, so as to make the land produce
large crops and increase in fertility,

as desired. About 200 hens are kept in
one lot while the other is used as a
garden. The fowls are not fed on the
same ground continually, but at different
places, so as to cover the entire
lot several times during the year, the
object being to have the hens work
over the whole surface and distribute
the manure evenly. T' 1 next year the
fowls are changed into the garden plot
and the gardening done on the plot
formerly occupied by the fowls. The
result that the land is enriched by the
droppings and the waste food, and
as the fowl yard is-plowed once or
twice a year the insects are reduced,
the garden crops being large, while returns
come in during the winter
months from eggs. Some poultrymen

I.ess Salt in the l-ntter.
Too much salt is used by many butter-makers.
The whole tendency
among consumers is toward fresher
butter. In England and on the continent
butter is made in those countries
is served particularly fresh and
white. In the best restaurants and
hotels in the larger cities in this country
the butter contains very little salt.
A great number of Americans who go
abroad, or who patronize city hotels
and restaurants in their own country,
are acquiring the taste for fresh batter.
The fancy dairies that command
extravagant prices put out a product
that is almost fresh. Creameries that
are catering to the highest class grocers
and best family trad?, now us?
only half as much salt as they did
five or 10 years ago.
This point is worthy of more general
consideration by dairymen and creamery
men everywhere. The quality of
salt is also important, but the leading
brands are now quite above reproach
in this respect. Of course the salt
manufacturer favors the largest possible
use of salt, but the dairyman's
chief object should be quality rather
fhan quantity in salt. The large export
trade in butter, particularly in
England and the continent will never
be built up until the peculiarities of
that market regarding a reduced quantity
of salt in butter are catered to. .

Modern Method* of Dairy Practice.
The dairy business is in a sense a
manufacturing business. The 'cow is
the machine which converts the raw
material represented by grain and forage
into milk. All lines of business,
including agriculture, have been compelled
to adopt modern methods. The
dairy business, however, requires a
large degree Of intelligence in tiiat it
is governed by natural laws which dre
not as constant as tlidse governing
the manufacture of iron and steel products.
Success in dairying today depends
upon two conditioner First upon
the reduction of the cost of production
and second the improvement
of the quality of the products, in ine
tirst instance the dairyman must thoroughly
understand the feeding of cows,
the milk and its care, the marketing of
butter and cheese, the cow herself, and
must have a thorough knowledge of
the various feeds needed.
The difference in cows is nicely illustrated*
by two cows at the New
Jersey experiment station. During
the past year these cows ate practically
the same amount of feed?$40
worth. They received precisely the
same care, and were looked after by
the same attendant. One cow produced
12.000 pounds of miik, which
sold for $120, thus giving a profit of
$80 above the cost of the feed. The
other cow produced 4500 pounds of
milk, which sold for $45 and returned
a profit above the cost of the feed of
only $5, a difference of $75 in favor of
the first cow. The amount of milk,
however, is not the only consideration.
The 12,000 pounds of milk produced
by the first cow contained only 4 per
cent of butter fat which if made into
butter would have been worth $140, the
profit being $100. The other cow's
milk contained G 1-2 per cent, of butter
fat, which, if made into butter
would have been worth $85 and left a
profit of $45. This illustrates the necessity
of choosing a cow of maximum
capacity for milk or butter.
The matter of feeding cows is a
very complicated one. As a general
thing a balanced ration is best, but it
's best only when it is cheapest. A
trill onsWuf whr>n it Will
produce butter cheaper than a narrow
ration. It has been found that a ration
consisting of silage, corn stalks
fapd brewers' grains with a nutritive
ratio,of 1-5.4. The basis if this ration
was the food value only. In tests at
the New Jersey experiment station, it
was found that good corn silage, being
nore palatable, was from 10 to 18
per cent more valuable than the same
amount of corn fodder.
The second consideration, that of
making a high-grade product, is of
very great importance. Uniformity of
milk and butter is absolutely necessary
to a business success. A few
years ago the New Jersey experiment
station began dairying in a small way
with grade cows under conditions as
found on the ordinary farm. The milk
sold reasonably well, but at the end
of the first year there was an increase
of not more than 5 per cent, in the
amount consumed.
The second year, a modern dairy
house was erected where it was possible
to handle the milk properly. The
cows were also well cared for and well
fed and bedded. At the end of the
first six months of the second year,
;.ke sale of milk had increased MO i>er
cent, and 20 per cent, more during the
second six months. At the end
of the fourth year a ' further
increase of 15 per cent, was noted.
Not only this, but a cash
business was done and the milk is
now selling for eight cents per quart,
while ordinary milk brings only four
ents. Not only did the sales increase,
but the families who first bought inTeased
their consumption 15 per cent.

FILIBUSTERS WIN OUT
State Depot Bill Blocked In the
Georgia Legislature,
A VOTE WAS EFFECTUALLY PREVENTED
Dilatory Tactics Resorted to By Opponents
of the Measure Result In Its
Displacement.
An Atlanta special says: Tender the
rules of the Georgia house of representatives,
which adinits of a handftti
of men controlling.the entire action of
the body, the depot bill was successfully
blocked Friday by the use of
dilatory tactics. Gathering around
him a majority of the men who are
against legislation, thirty-one in number,
the member from Bibb couuty,
Hon. Joe Hall, determined that in
spite of the majority of the house and
in contravention of the report of the
steering committee, the depot bill
should not come up on its passage.
Ten votes more than enough to pass
the bill Were ready tb be cast fot* the
me&shrej according to those favoring
it, and its passage was assured as soon
as a vote could be cast, and the opponents
of the bill resorted to a filibuster
as their only hope of killing the bill.
The entire morning was taken up in
a stubborn wrangle. Every effort
made by the majority to biing on a
vote failed. The obstructionists resorted
to every parliamentary expedient
afforded them under the rules to
prevent a vote.
So stubborn were the filibusters
that it became apparent early in the
session that the hopes of reaching a
vote during the day's session was a
slender one.
Some believed that the obstructionists
would keep up their tactics and
prevent a vote during the entire session.
The opinion was expressed by some
that the blockers woilld make it necessary
for the govemor^to call ah eitra
session of the legislature to paSs necessary
bills;
Dilatory motions and speeches* toll
calls, questions of personal privilege
were resorted to over and over again.
It was a red-hot ahd spirited fight
from the start. Much feeling was manifested.
There were many heated exchanged
of repartee and the friends and opponents
of the bill engaged in a constant
clash from the outset.
Much time was taken up over a
resolutien that the house adjourn sine
die.
The galleries were packed with people
and the interest was iutense.
Several times th*e galleries vented their
feelings by cheers or hisses and Speaker
Little was forced several tithes to
threaten to clear the galleries. He at
one time threatened to arrest and bring
before ths bar any person guiltjr of
hissing.
Many senators came ever from their
wing of the capitol and watched the
fight.
The house was powerless to place
the bill on its passage so long as the
call for the ayes and nays continued,
and finally at 12:30 o'clock, when it

done at the session, the house agreod
almost unanimously to an adjournment.
At the close of the session the steering
committee was called to order for
the purpose considering the action of
ihe minority. In the interest of
economy, of time and money, two considerations
which the minority bad
failed to take into account or had
ignored, the committee decided to put
the depot bill aside for the time being
and recommend that a number of subsidiary
measures be placed on their
passage. This arrangement met with
the hearty approval of the minority,
for at the afternoon session the serenity
of the house remained undisturbed.
8ENATE ENTERS PROTEST.
The filibustering in the house on the
depot bill aroused the senate and^ the
latter body entered a severe protest
On the motion of Senator Ellis, the
house wos informed that if it does not
send the tax act and the general appropriations
act promptly to the senate,
the latter body will refuse to consider

GREATEST OF ALASKA CHIEFS.
Rules 6,000 Indians, Speaks English and j
Wears a Boiled Shirt.
Chief Johnson, of the Taku tribe, j
one of the most famous Indians in j
Alaska, was recently in Salem. He
has under his charge 5,000 to 0,000 j
Indians, and they look to him as their j
ruler. He has six cr seven large
stores, located at .Dyea, Juneau and |
other points and practically controls
the trade with his people. Every
three years Chief Johnson has a big
potlatch, at which time he gives away
thousands of blankets and other things j
useful to members of his tribe. He j
had a potlatch in 1S98, and it cost him j
$25,000, And the one held last year j
was almost as expensive.
There are other hidlan chiefs iii j
Alaskd, but none "frho have as numer- I
ous dependents aS Johnson. There are '
proV.ibly twenty chiefs in all, the next,
in point of number of followers below :
bim having about 3,000. One of these i
chiefs is to give a big potlatch to his
people this year, and so Chief Johnson,
the principal business man for the Indians
of that northern country, has
I mot-o cnofidi nnrehases !
tumc uun U IU uiunv ? ' J
of blankets and other articles suitable |
for the extraordinary occasion.
It has been the custom of the chief
to come here annually to make his purchases
from the Thomas Kay "Woolen
Mill Company, but they were unable
to fill his order for 5.000 blankets, as j
they only had about 500 pairs oh hand.
These he took and the remainder will
be sent later.
Chief Johnson has some members 6f
bis tribe in the Chemawd Indian
school, and he will visit that institution
before be returns to his home in
Alaska. This representative of our
northernmost possession is not satisfied
with some of the laws which have
been made at Washington to govern
the Indians. He bitterly opposes the
encroachments of the white man, and
says that the game is disappearing
from the hunting grounds, and the fish
no longer swarm the streams as in
years gone by. Hunting and fishing are
the only occupations of his people, and
he sees, at no distant date, these will
be destroyed and they will be sunk
deeper into poverty and want than they I
are at the present time. While speaking
of the condition of his people he
showed a sincere interest In their welfare
and a determination to do everything
in his power to add to their com- '
fort and happiness. He says the chiefs
of the white men rule only for money,
but he rules his people without charge,
and they obey him and love him because
he is good and just to them.
He says the whiskey business in
Alocl-n f? v*?rr dptrimental to the In
dians, and he would like to see the
prohibition law enforced.
Chief Johnson dresses well, wearing
a white, shirt and a high collar, and
he has the appearance of an Intelligent
man. He speaks fair English and is a
close observer and a shrewd business
man. He is a man of great wealth,
probably one of the richest in Alaska,
and lives in the finest house in any of
the northern cities. He has ruled his
tribe since the death of his father,
which occurred in 1SS0. He is about
fifty years of age and is strong and
hearty, enjoying the best of health.

of the hoof. It will not hurt him
to lose it, but it ruins his ambition as

Goat meat cannot be distinguished
1 from mutton ordinarily, in every car
of sheep that comes from New Mexico
there are sure to be from two to a
dozen goats in the lot. They all go
to the same block at the packer's and
the good wife who takes home goat's
chops for lamb's chops is never the
wiser. Nor is the butcher. A goat is
only a goat when he has his pelt on.
After that he is a sheep.?Kansas City

Would Russia Attack India?
Supposing Russia prepared to seize
Herat or threaten Afghanistan, what
w-ould be her position? What is the
aspect of a Russian invasion of India?
What are the great difficulties
Russia would have to face in her
march toward either the Hindu Kush
or Sulaman range of mountains,
which latter place or position would
command all the passes by which India
could be 'invaded from the northwest?
The first would be the transport of
her army, which would necessarily
be great. Lord Roberts experienced
great difficulties with supplies for his
15,000 men during his famous march
from Kabul to Candahar, hardly any
food for man or beast being procnf "
able, the resources of that part of tii&
Country belling exhausted.
Russia's difficulty of maintaining an
army of ten v.mes that size would be
great in either that city or Kabul,
whose inhabitants ar6 half starved.
The requirements or a Russian army,
according to Col. Eanna, would be for
150,1)00 men at least 1,000,000 tons,
and It is unlikely that any General
would enter on an Indian invasion,;
defended by British and native j
troops, with less than three months' j
supplies. Skobeloff had two and a j
half months for use against the j
Turkomans, and we had six months
lh the Afghan war. A three months'
supply ^vould mean "1,000,000 tons to
tarry, for which something like 500,000
camels would be required, equal
to the cargo of forty large steamers."
If she could get all these animals,
how ftould they be fed among the j
mountains and fruitless deserts which I
intervene between Afghanistan arid'
British India? . j
Russia has no intention of invading
India at present; she is too much occupied
with her railway to Port Arthur
through the Gobi Desert, that
will take years yet. Her invasion of
India would be a fish not worth the
frv. So the bogy can be dismissed for
the present.?The Westminster Review.

There is more Catarrh In this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
Incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced It a local disease and presc Ibed
local remedies, and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and thereforo requires
1 constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &, Co . Toledo,
Ohio. Is the only constitutional cure on the
