The Loyalty of the Members of the
. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
Is proverbial. A circumstance occur
red in this city some days ago, whlea
' emphasizes this feeling. c
Frank J. Zeller. is Chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
No. 143. He is extremely popular
among- his fellow railway men. and
one of the best known Engineers run
ning out of Meadvllle. When the an-
BntiBrAmrsnt was made a. short time
ago that Frank wag pretty sick, it
caused a great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to "lay off"
oa account of his back. A brother of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, who had been ill with similar
symptoms, some time before, and who
. had been pulled through, called to see
Mr. Zeller, and in a brotherly way.
took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which bad curea
him. He advised Mr. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used, he was entirely
well, audible to work.
In an interview Mr. Zeller states:
"I had suffered for four years with
this affliction, being often kept awake
at .night with pains, and at times un
able to work. I tried several of the
advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good; Finally,
a member of our Order, who had been
eared of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills -brought me a box. and
asked me to try them. I had little
faith la them, but as a drowning man
grasps at a straw to help him. so I
took the Pills. I used seven boxes,
and am today as well and strong a
man as there is in Pennsylvania."
Naturally. Mr. Zeller feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends, and
none more than the good Brother, who
feels that he was instrumental in saving-
the life of the Chief.

1, 1900, the imports were 3,020,000 gal

Defeases at Paris.
Perhaps, you have just returned from
Paris, enthusiastic over the sights
there. Here' are some of the things
you didn't see: Seven great forts about
the city, eight miles away from its
walls. Nineteen smaller forts, four
miles out, each containing three' acres
and mounting 'two 95-ton guns. Great
stacks of -100-pound melinite shells,
ready for these guns to hurl. Twenty-one
miles of continuous fortifica
tions about the town earthwork walls
150 feet thick at the base and fronted
by 45-foot moats. Three hundred em
placements along this giant wall for
as many 95-ton cannon, kept free from
rust in the Champs de Mars arsenal,
and ready to be swung into place at
any time. So cleverly are the forts
masked by long slopes of green turf,
and the' walls by trees and bushes, that
one can pass 'in and out of Paris a
dozen times and see scarcely a trace
of its famous fortifications. The range
of the" 95-ton guns is over ten miles
some say fourteen. Beneath their, at
present, untenanted beds on the ram
part are stone casemates for ammuni
tion, with x small, transfer wagons.
These casemates open upon the-inner
base of the wall, and a set of rails,
standard gauge, runs from the door
way to the top' of the fortification.
You must look for these rails in the
grass, the general staff is so modest.
Suppose war comes and the 300 guns
must be mounted. Well, the stast has
thought of that The rails standard
gauge that lie ready for the ammuni
tion wagons can be linked with the
tramway system of Paris. To work
these guns, were every man of the gar
rison drafted away, Paris has 50,000
trained artillerymen among her re
servists. She could man every gun
twice over, garrison all her forts with
infantry reservists, and put a dozen
cavalry regiments into the field for
scouting purposes. Every, reservist,
whether Parisian bom.?or- provincial
immigrant, has a book containing his
number, particulars of his service, and
a memorandum of the barrack to
which he must repair upon the calling
of ''the reserves. In case of war lines
carefully maintained would be switch
ed into use, 'and the tramway system
would be in communication with the
enormous goods depots of the Paris
termini. Not rolling stock only, but
horseflesh would be requisitioned. Ev
ery horse over four years old Is regis
tered, together with his type, owner,
and probable utility. The general staff
could choose from some 120,000 horses.
The military stores of Paris are
boundless. In a day she could clothe
and arm 450,000 fighting men, with
70.000,000 rounds of melinite car
tridges.. At the army bakeries she
reserves large stores of grain. In case
of siege the general staff has a 'censor
ship of prices ready in the Paris muni
cipality, which at all times fixes the
price of bread and would do so of other
staples. Paris has an invisible defense

Dogs of War.
The dog seems aestined to play an
important part in future warfare. The
German army is now provided with
a large number of four-footed soldiers.
Ibe greatest pains are taken to train
the animal; and its usefulness was
quite established at last year's man
euvers near Coblenz. It is employed
in three ways. Its intelligence .and
keep scent are utilized for discovering
wounded men. The St Bernard would
naturally be chosen for Samaritan
duties of this kind but the object is
to choose smaller dogs, which are less
likely to be shot During the man
euvers 200 soldiers were ordered to
fall! wounded, in different parts of a
forest Five Jiundred ambulance or
derlies were instructed to find them.

It is urged in the annual report of
Major General John R. Brooke, com
manding the department of the east
at New York, which was made public
at the war department recently, that a
pressing necessity exists lor the reor
ganization of the army on modern
lines. He says:
"For many years past the general
officers of the army have shown the
necessity for an increase which will
place the army, on an efficient basis
and enable it to perform its. duties
with credit to itself and to the satis
faction of the nation. The events since
the commencement of the Spanish
war have demonstrated beyond doubt
the necessity for a reorganization
which will enable this nation to main
tain the position in which it" now finds
itself placed, so that, in case of war,
the army may form the bulwark be
hind which the volunteer army may be
created, as has always been done in
our country, by organizing the peo
ple." A Great Navy lard.
The oldest structure in Charlestown
navy yard is the long white brick
building at the main entrance, the lo
cation of many offices and the naval
museum and library.. The next oldest
is the present commandant's resi
dence. The land and buildings at the
yard were assessed a few years ago
by the Boston assessors at nearly $7,
Twelve escaped their search, but thess
were all scented out by four dogs,
which, on a repetition of the experi
ment saved eighteen who' would
otherwise have had no help. The dogs
are provided with a little box full of
refreshments and a packet of band
ages. They are trained to' wait till
the wounded man has used these, and
if he is too ill to do so to run back
and fetch an ambulance officer. The
other services for which the dogs are
trained are as sentinels and scouts,
and, more important still, as ammunition-carriers
between the wagons and
the firing line. It appears that the
German troops sent out to China took
with them a number of these' faithful
and. well-trained recruits. London

The Automobile la War.
A recent application to our war de
partment for experiments with mili
tary automobiles was answered with
a prompt refusal on the ground that
they appear to be the conclusion
abroad, where France and Germany
are experimenting with them. The
question has been in the- hands of a
technical commission in France since
October, 1897, and eight automobiles
were tested in Germany during the
grand maneuvers of 1899 and the Ger
man emperor has offered a prize ol
120,000 for the best military automo
bile. In Italy after trial, a number of
automobiles have been assigned to the
army for the transportation of bag
gage. Austria uses the Danier. Auto
mobiles are used for army transporta
tion, carrying a load of 11,000 pounds
on a slope of 1 in 10 at the rate of
from three to seven miles an hour.
Belgium is having one of its army
wagons for the transportation of sup
plies transformed into an automobile.
The new wagon weighs 4,400 pounds
and its maxium speed is ten miles an
hour.
Sketch of Cea. Sicilies.
General Daniel E. Sickles, most
prominent of the union generals at the
recent encampment in Chicago, is 73
years old. He was educated at the
University of New York, located in his
native city, became a printer, a lawyer,
a member of the state legislature and
a congressman, secretary of the United
States legation at London, and a leader
in the councils of Tammany Hall. That
was his career before the war. When
Sumter was fired on he raised the
Sickles brigade, and after taking part
in several battles, saw severe service
before Richmond. After Antietam he
was made commander of the Third
army corps. At Gettysburg he lost a
leg, but remained in active service un
til 1865, when he was sent on a special
mission to South America. The fol
lowing year he was made a colonel in
the regular army, from which he re
tired in 1869 with the rank of major
general. He has since served as Unit
ed States minister to Spain, and has
been prominent as a railroad mana
ger.
Cables for War Tldlajr
A German officer, Major Wachs, has
recently called attention to the wise
foresight of England in laying down a
network of cables over the whole
world, thus making all other countries
her tributaries. A statement made in
'the official bulletin of Le Progress
Militaire is interesting in this connec
tion. It runs as follows: "If we ex
amine upon a chart the tracks of the
submarine cables linking Europe with
'the far east we shall see that France
remains, for much the greater part of
the distance, but a tributary of Eng
land, and shall hardly be astonished
to find that we are the last to obtain
any authentic tidings." ,It is high time
we took a lesson from the experience
of England in this respect, at least
to the extent of providing for a Pa
cific cable under our control.

ismore" practically- familiar with the
production of English blue grass, or
meadow fescue, having raised it oa
a larger scale, than perhaps any other
man In the middle west At the re
quest of Secretary F. D. Coburn he
has written an account of his experi
ence, which appears in a recent report
of the Kansas department of agricul
ture. Extracts from his article fol
low: athis. grass has a two-fold value; for
its seed crop and for pasturage the
relative importance of each being de
termined by the view and interest of
the grower. The seed crop brings
early cash, and It is for seed that the
grass is chiefly grown in Kansas. It's
heaviest yields are given in the first
three or four years, which run from
six to twelve bushels per acre, accord
ing to soil and season. Kansas Is be
lieved to produce seventy-five per cent
of the seed crop of this country, and
at. least ninety per cent of the total
crop of the United States is sent
abroad. On any lands fairly adapted
for corn (in eastern Kansas) it can
be advantageously grown; but on
Hght, whitish soil, it does not show
strong vitality nor resist extreme dry
weather, 'and is brief lived.
The ground should be plowed some
time before seeding (as. for wheat)
that it may settle, but if freshly
plowed can be improved by going over
it with a float The best state of tilth
attainable is highly important The
nearer the ground can be made like a
garden, and the more even and level
before drilling in or sowing the seed,
the better. A majority favor drilling,
but other very successful growers sow
broadcast and harrow in lightly; and
some fall plant, while others prefer
the spring for seeding. I favor the
fall, if the ground can be prepared and
rains sufficiently moisten the soil by
September 1 to 15, but am aware that
ample moisture can be expected in the
spring, and, therefore, a good stand
is surer. But a fall start brings a
seed crop a year sooner, and the grass
gets dominant in advance of noxious
vegetation. It is not easily winter
killed if the fall is not unfavorable
and the ground was early plowed. I
do not like the hoe-drill so well as a
shoe-drill, nor the eight-inch so well
as the six-inch-apart drill rows, though
some have used the former .with satis
factory results.
The quantity planted per acre varies
from a peck to three pecks when pro
ducing seed is the paramount object
and from three pecks to a bushel and
upwards when pasture alone is sought
A Jialf-bushel per. acre when seed crops
are the first consideration and it is
drilled in, .is enough on .'rightly pre
pared ground, for then every seed is
covered; if showers follow harrowing
in, almost every seed will sprout and
take root An inch is ample depth to
drill, and, if the ground surface is uni
formly leveled, scarcely 'any of the
seed is. put too deep.. When har
rowed in, the harrow should be set to
run as for millet and similar light
seed. The seed should be cleaned and
freed from cheat and weed seed, if
possible, before planting. Fescue is
ready for cutting for seed right after
wheat with the self-binding harvester,
and is shocked as are wheat and oats.
The bundles are somewhat ragged in
appearance and bulky at the butts
because of the heavy blade growth,
the straw of which is valuable winter
feed for cattle. It Is stacked or
thrashed out of the shock by the regu
lar thrasher men, and the cost per
bushel ranges from the wheat charge
to double the same, according to the
quantity. If sold, the seed Is taken.
from the thrashing machine direct to
the railroad, loaded in cars, in two
bushel bags, and shipped.
The points id favor of raising this
grass in the portion of Kansas where it
best thrives are several and substan
tial. It is not especially risky nor ex
pensive for seed and labor to get a
stand; the same implements and ma
chinery used for the other crops are
employed in its planting and harvest
ing; the seed Is a fairly profitable crop
in itself with a yield near the' aver
age, and at a price of from three and
one-half cents to four cents per pound;
the straw after thrashing (probably
one-fourth of a ton per acre) leads all
other straw for roughage, and stock
cleans it up with avidity.

The Roman Stem apple originated
in New Jersey and is very successful
along that coast and as far south as
North Carolina, according to the re
ports of the American Pomological
Society. It also succeeds very well in
all the strip of country between New
Jersey and the Rocky Mountains, be
ing successfully grown as far south
asthe southern line of Tennessee. It
is fairly successful in the New Eng
land states and New York, Ohio and
Michigan. Among experts the apple
is regarded as of above medium ia
flavor. It is a late-keeping apple. In
color it is a combination of yellow,
red and white.

The question of-the purity of Paris
green Is coming to be of first import
ance. The Paris green now on the
market varies in value from full price
to nothing. Many of the non-successes
of spraying are directly due to the
inferior quality of the Paris green
used. Some of the stuff being sold
for Paris green Is of no more value
for spraying purposes than so much
salt or land plaster. This charge is
not rashly made, but is based on care
ful investigations by the California and
other experiment stations. It Is said
that pure Paris green cannot be sold
under 30 cents per pound, but that
much'aow oa the market is retailing
at 12 cents and under and paying a
handsome profit The California ex
periment station sent out Inquiries to
nil the stations in the United States
asking the experience of the. officials
as to the Paris green sold in their
respective states. Some of these re
plies showed that little fault could be
found, so far as the officials had
learned: " On -the other hand reports
from other states showed an alarming
condition of affairs in this respect
The report of the California station
shows that in that state, three kinds
of Inferior Paris green 'are sold. One
of these the report designates as
bogus, another as adulterated and the
third as low grade. The kind styled
bogus is absolutely worthless, the
adulterated asarly so aad the Jow
grade) may ha esTeetive if enough of
It im meed. It might well be said that
Bone of these are worth baying. The
low grades are solsV as high grades,
and the asers figure the proportions
to mm ea. that Imam, with the immlt
that the essays are mr teo weak to

Every maa Interested la fruit grow
ing should ha a member- of his scats
hertknltaral society, as he can in that
way get iaformatloa that will be. of
iaestimable benefit. The dues to most
af these societies are but H per year,
aad many of them charge only $5 for
a life membership. He will have the
benefit, of the experience of all of the
great fruit growers la the state and
the bound volume that he annually
receives win be worfch more than that
to him as somethiag that he can pat
oa his 'shelf and "refer -to year after
-year as new causes for such reference
arise. For instance, a life member
ship In the State Horticultural Society
of 'Illinois costs but 85 aad. the new
member gets a set of volumes as far
back as the society can furnish. This
set of volumes alone is worth far more
than the sum charged for annual mem
bership, and- in addition the member
gets a. volume a year without extra
charge as long as he lives. The so
ciety can do this because the state
makes an annual appropriation for the
use of the society aad its expenses are
met in, that way. The fee Is charged to
in some manner regulate the member
ship, It being taken for granted that
a man will not pay the fee unless he
is really Interested in horticulture, and
If he is the fee will not be a barrier
to ills becoming a member. We wish
that every fanner that reads the
Farmers Review would connect him
self with his state horticultural so
ciety, or at least with some local so
ciety with1 like objects..

The scientific name " of this insect
is Galechia solanella. This insect in
jures plants similar to tobacco, and
its attacks on the latter plant have re
sulted in considerable Injury. The
potato Is extensively attacked. The
insect is well known in Europe and
Australia. We may hear a good deal
from It in this country. Its eggs are
laid upon the leaves, and the minute
caterpillar bores between the surfaces
of the leaf, making a flat mine, often
of considerable size, with a gray dis
coloration visible from both sides of
the leaf. Frequently there is a dis
tortion when the mine occurs, near a
large vein. In this country it has
been observed by Professor McCarthy
i tintlarna.' nyapfc at ietCaaaaa
Mngat-asauied
as mining in the leaves of horse net
tle (Solanum-carolinense) on the mar
gins of tobacco fields, and is recorded
by Mr. Quaintance as mining in the
leaves of tomato and in the leaves and
boring into the fruit of the eggplant
We have, therefore, as its food plants,
potato, tobacco, horse nettle,' tomato,
and eggplant

A Marengo, la., correspondent writes
that hogs In his .locality- are healthy
and are going to market in nice shape
and bringing good prices. The sea
son's crop of young pigs is about ten
per cent larger than last year's.
In New Zealand many of the swine
growers ' have combined and estab
lished pork markets In-which' is sold
mostly dairy fed pork. Such pork
finds a ready sale, as the people prefer
It to much of the other pork obtain
able on the markets.
On a farm with reasonably good
buildings and a clover pasture the cost
of a gain of a pound of live weight on
a hog up to 150 pounds is not very
much in excess of two cents, says an
exchange. To this must be added the
interest on the value o the brood sow,
the cost fl her keep, the risk of acci
dent the cost of the grass, etc.
The Australian coasting steamer
Kameruka, while going from Eden to
Sydney, traveling at full speed, struck
on a reef at Moruya Head. There be
ing no rockets on the ship the captain
tied a life-line to some pigs which
formed part of the cargo, and had the
animals put overboard. The pigs swam
to the shore, taking the lines with
them, and by establishing communica
tion every soul on board was saved.
Statistics embodied in a recent re
port of livestock in Great Britain
show a considerable decrease in the
pig stocks for the year. Among the
Scottish counties, Ayrshire bas the
largest pig population, her numbers
being 13,920 head. Aberdeenshire fol
lows with 12,346 head, and is closely
followed by Wigtownshire, which has
12,020 head, while Dumfriesshire
comes fourth with 10,915 head.
At the Dominion Experiment Station
at Ottawa feeding experiments' have
been undertaken with hogs to deter
mine the causes of soft pork. One
hundred animals 'are being experi
mented with. Some are .being fed on
rape and grain, some on clover and
some on grain and a variety of grains
is being used. Combinations Includ
ing barley, clover, oats and peas are
used and one lot has been turned into
a' field of artichokes.
Among the special features of the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo
next year will be a fine swine exhibit
which will be held the latttr part of
September, and which It Is expected
will attract a large representation of
twelve different breeds of swine, In
cluding the' Suffolk, Victorias an J
Tamworths which arc but little known
In the United States. Canadian farm
ers: are better acquainted with them
and will doubtless contribute exhibits.
A special exhibit of hogs adapted tc j
the production of bacon is promised
The managers of this department ol
the great show count on not less than
1.500 animals.

Ererylmother possesses information of Tital value to her
young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and
the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the
mother. The mysterious change that develops the thought
less girl into .the thoughtful woman should find the mother
on-the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical
well-being of her daughter, so will the woman bo, and her
children also.
When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when
she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits
an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the bade and lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the
society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At
such a 'time the greatest aid to nature is Lyclia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young
system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in
this hour of trial.
The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof
