"kissing bug" in evil notoriety. It is
partial to low shoes and open-work

victim has been crippled for a week or
more. The local scientists have not

Racine, Wia, July 22nd: John
Johnson of No. 924 Hamilton street,
this city, is a happy man.
For years he has suffered with Kid
ney and Urinary trouble. He was so
broken down that he was forced to
quit work. Everything he tried failed,
till a friend of his recommended a
new remedy Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr.
Johnson used them, and the result sur
prised him. He is as well as ever he
was, completely cured, and working
away every day.
His case is regarded by those who
knew how very bad he was, as almost
a miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills
are a much talked of medicine.

Ace Uaalt la the Army.
Army men have long complained
that the age of 64 at which they are
all compelled to retire from active
service on 75 per cent of full pay by
operation of law is at least four years
too soon in the case of average officers,
and that the law is detrimental to the
public interests. Practical observation
and the conclusions of ethnological
students tend to bear them out in this
contention. A recent circumstance
serves to give emphasis to their view,
and at the same time suggests a modi
fication of the present law. This was
the retention by Judge Advocate Gen
eral Davis of Gen. J. W. Clous, retired,
lately colonel and judge advocate, as
paid leading counsel for the govern
ment against Oberlin M. Carter, Ben
jamin D. Greene, John P. Gaynor, Wil
liam T. Gaynor, and Edward H. Gay
nor, who have been indicted for con
spiracy to defraud the United States
out of some 12,500,000. Carter, for
merly captain oi the corps of engi
neers, is already serving a term in the
Leavenworth military prison for his
part in the alleged conspiracy. Pro
ceedings are or have been pending to
secure his discharge on various tech
nicalities. Greene and the Gaynors
are doggedly fighting to avoid being
taken to Georgia for trial. Under his
retainer it will be part of Gen. Clous'
business to fight Carter's efforts for
release and to prosecute the Greene
Gaynor case to a conclusion. It is
generally admitted that he is mentally
and physically well equipped for the
work required of him, although the
accused parties will be defended with
all the energy and ability that money
can command. Gen. Clous has of
course been familiar with the case
from the day Carter was first accused
of misappropriating government funds,
which gives him special advantages
for its future conduct, and doubtless
determined his retention.
It will be remembered that when
Judge Advocate General Lieber retired
from age on May 21. Col. Thomas F.
Barr was appointed to the vacancy
and immediately retired. In turn Col.
Clous was appointed to the Barr va
cancy, and likewise at once retired at
his own request, although in pursu
ance of an agreement, he went out
about three weeks ahead of his retir
ing date, which was June 9. There
upon Col. George B. Davis was ap
pointed judge advocate general. Now,
those who know Gen. Clous personally
unhesitatingly affirm that he is every
whit as competent for any official duty
as he was prior to the day of his re
tirement, and will probably continue to
be for several years to come. They
say that he is still as vigorous and
alert as any officer on the active list of
the army. Gen. Davis doubtless hold
s ,
him equal to the task, or he surely '
would not have retained him to con-!
uuii u lnipuruint ana complicated a
case. In short, at the age of 64. Gen.
Clous is in every attribute undisputa
bly just as efficient an officer as he was
ten or twenty years ago. Probably, in
deed, his capacity to discharge the du
ties of a military lawyer are at their
zenith. And the same may be truth
fully said of nine out of every ten
army officers retired by operation of
law. New York Sun.

When Havana was first occupied by
the American troops house-cleaning
was the order of the day. Quarters for
one of the military bureaus were pre
pared in the lower part of the city.
Upon inspecting them, after cleaning,
the commanding officer found that
they overlooked an old belfry that
adorned another part of the building.
In this belfry hung a fine bronze bell,
cast in beautiful designs, more than a
century old. Belfry and bell made a
precious addition to a picturesque out
look. A few days later the officer or
dered his effects moved into his new
quarters. He .asked the sergeant, who
came with a detail of men for the task:
"Patrick, how is the big bell I admired
the other day?" "Sure, sir," said
Patrick, "it's all right now; but I had

The secretary of the navy has sig
nified his approval of the recommenda
tions of the naval board of awards
concerning medals of honor and letters
of commendation to a number of offi
cers and men of the navy and marine
corps who distinguished themselves
during the campaign in China. The list
includes Capt N. H. Hall, against
whom charges of cowardice during the
Pekin siege, had been made. He is
awarded a brevet as major. The hon
ors approved by the secretary are as
follows: Ensign C. T. Pettingill, let
ter of commendation for skill, courage
and efficiency at the battle of Tientsin.
Ensign A. N. McCarthy, a very highly
commendatory letter for his skill,
courage and good judgment in hand
ling his vessel, the gunboat Calami
anes, in the Augusan river, Mindanao,
and the successful carrying out of the
object of the expedition. The board
"regrets that under the law no greater
reward can be given this promising
young officer. His exhibition of pro
fessional skill and nerve upon this oc
casion appeals most forcibly to its fa
vorable consideration." The list in
cludes thirty-seven non-commissioned
officers and privates, who are awarded
medals and letters for distinguished
conduct during various stages of the
siege of Pekin, chiefly in erecting bar
ricades under heavy fire.

Most of the navy apprentice enlist
ments at Chicago come from boys liv

cago boys do not rank high in passing
averages. Many suffer from the to
bacco heart. The average from the
country districts who succeed in pass
ing the examination is three and four
in five. There is now no trouble to
secure apprentices. The naval recruit
ing station in the Masonic Temple is
crowded from morning until the clos
ing hour at 4 o'clock. On arrival at
the training station the apprentice is
placed in the newcomer's squad. He is
first trained in the care of his person,
in the handling of bedding and cloth
ing. Then he is furnished with a com

of the articles. Next he I.t instructed

In his subaltern days a certain ar
my officer was averse to early rising.
Consequently he often was late for
early morning parade, which usually
is held under the adjutant, and came
in for many wiggings. At last he ob
tained leave and went bn board the
steamer which was to bear him far
away from parades, orderly rooms,
field days and similar vexatious things.
Once fairly out to sea he sought out
his bedroom steward and gave him
certain instructions. Next morning the
steward tapped at the cabin door,
poked his head in and shouted, "Ad
jutant's compliments, sir, and he's
waiting for you on parade." The offi
cer turned, woke up, and triumphant
ly replied, "My compliments to the ad
jutant, and tell him to go and put his
head in a bag!" Then he went com
fortably off to sleep again. This little
comedy was repeated every morning,
the replies to the imaginary adjutant
being as insulting as possible, and the
officer declares that he has never en
joyed anything so much since as this
vicarious method of getting even with
his tormentor. Exchange.

Hebtete-Frlcilaa Breeders Meet
The sixteenth annual meeting of the
Hoifttein-Friesian Association of
America was held at the Yates Hotel,
Syracuse. N. Y.. June 5. 1901. The
meeting was called to order by Presi
dent W. A. Matteson, Utica, N. Y.
Ninety-four members were personally
present, ana three hundred and six
were represented by proxy, making
the largest attendance in many years.
The report of the treasurer, Wing
R. Smith of Syracuse, N. Y., showed a
balance on hand from last year of
$17,038.77, and an Income or $9,239.19
from the secretary's officek entries, in
terest, etc. The expenditures Were
12,022 for prizes for officially authen
ticated butter tests; $3,247.66 for the
printing of the herd books; $1,344.23

salaries; cash balance on hand, $18,
063.92. The report of the superintendent of
Advanced Registry, S. Hoxie, York
Tllle, N. Y., showed a total of 361 en
tries, the largest number since the in
auguration of the Official Tests. Thirty-two
of these entries were of bulls.
There were 299 of eows with seven
day butter records made under the
supervision of Agricultural Experi
ment Stations, including 25 net profit
records. There were 30 unofficial rec
ords of cows entered. A striking fea
ture shown by the details of the re
ports was the increase of the world's
highest weekly butter record by nearly
two pounds.
The report of the secretary, F. 1.
Houghton of Putney, Vt, showed the
largest growth of membership ever
made In the history of the association.
One hundred and twelve new members
were added to the roll.
Nearly 10,000 certificates of registry
were issued, a large increase over last
year, and double that of three years
ago. Volume XVIII. of the Herd
Book has been issued and Volume
XIX., including Volume XI. of the Ad
vanced Register, will be ready for
distribution in midsummer. The re
ceipts of the secretary's office were
$16,426.02, and the disbursements $7.
675.06, a balance of $8,750.96 being re
mitted to the treasurer.
Among the changes made in the
constitution was the following:
Article 4, Section 10, was amended
by the addition of the following: "A
record of all transfers of ownership of
registered animals must be made upon
the records of the association, and it
shall be the duty of the seller of any
animal to file with the secretary the
necessary application for transfer.
Failure to comply with this provision
may be deemed an infraction of the
by-laws and the offender will be sub
ject to such penalty as is within the
power of the association."
Article 4, Section 2, was amended
by the addition of the following: "Per
sons found guilty by a court of record
of fraud, misrepresentation or unfair
dealing in connection with Holstein
Friesian cattle, or of the violation of
the statutes of any State, or of the
United States, relating to the pedi
grees or registration of pure bred
animals, may upon presentation of ev
idence of such fact satisfactory to the
board of officers, be denied any privi
leges offered by this association."
The election of officers resulted in
the choice for president of W. J. Gil
lett, Rosendale.Wis., upon the resigna
tion of W. A. Matteson, who had filled
the office for three years. Mr. Matte
son was elected first vice-president;
A. A. Cortelyou, Neshanic, N. J., sec
ond vice-president; J. H. Coolidge,
Galesburg, 111., third vice-president;

ent was taken to determine the place
of the next annual meeting, and it was
voted to instruct the board of officers
to call the meeting at the Yates Hotel,
Syracuse.
To tba Unsaceestfal.
The notes following John Brans ar
ticle In Farmers Review, April 10, were
good, especially the advice to not give
egg producers or condition powders.
If your chicks need such stimulants
(they are not feed) you had better
market them and get a new start.
To the advice given I would add that
perhaps he has been feeding too much
salt and pepper, a little is beneficial,
but too much is disastrous as experi
ence taught me. The best plan of feed
ing pepper is too allow them to pick
at the pods on the plant, or the dried
pods in the winter. They will rarely
eat too much. If chicks are fed the
table scraps, their feed will need little
if any salt There is need of green
stuff, cabbage, rye, turnip tops; and
of vegetables, raw potatoes, turnips
and onions, also meat or milk.
Perhaps the greatest need is grit,
lack of grit will cause indigestion
(dyspepsia), and of course chicks or
anything else will do no good if af
flicted with dyspepsia. Are they free
of lice? This with their limited varie
ty of feed and restricted quarters
would prevent their laying eggs. Do
they get exercise? If not the whole
trouble may be traced to this. Make
them scratch hard every day in the
year; fix them a nice dust bath; give
plenty of clean milk and water to
drink; get rid of lice; give them the
semi-starvation cure a few days, it
will help them. Leave off the condi
tion powders, the salt and pepper, and
most of the corn; give vegetables and
green stuff; if this does not cause them
to lay you would better fatten and
sell them, then buy a fresh start. The
roosters have nothing to do with their
lack of laying.
I like to work with chickens, poul
try of any kind, but I do not like to
work with them well enough to keep
at it for two years without some profit,
and if the right care and management
there is no need of it Some times
hens will get too old to lay and yet be
hearty eaters.
How many are as honest as the la
menter? How many have a profit at
the end of the year? How many know
whether there is profit or not? I'm
afraid there are many who do not
know.
aaaaaMaaaaMiMeMMMaiMMMMM
Keep strict account of feed given, tf
furnishings bought,. also of eggs and
stock eaten and sold, then at the end
of the year, balance your accounts;
the result will be a surprise to the most
of you, to some fee profit will be
greater than expected, to others I am
afraid the profit will be very small, If
there is any t all.
There is always a cause for the loss,
and you who manage the flock are
the ones to discover and remedy the
loss, for no matter how willing others
are to aid you, they can only give
remedies and advice in a general way,
there are so many little things to take
into account, things of great impor
tance, but that are not noticed except
by the close observer, it la the little
leaks that cause the disasters, we are
all ready to stop the big leaks at once,
but often the little ones are left to a
more convenient time because they are
little.

but not least, act Emma Clearwa

Feeding for the production of eggs
Is A subject that constantly engages
the best thought of the best poultry
men. That it is an open subject yot
it proved by the fact that good and
experienced poultrymen disagree as to
the composition of necessary rations
and the method of their feeding.
Even the men that adopt iron clad
rules in this regard are known to
change them. This goes to prove that
no fixed rule has yet been agreed on.
For reasons which none of us are as
yet able to understand, bne man suc
ceeds with one ration and another
with another, even when the birds
are of the same breed and all condi
tions appear to be similar. There is
something in the handling bf a flock
that depends On the presence of an
active intelligence, which intelligence
can never be reduced to rule.
The advantages of pens that can be
moved about freely are obvious. Re
cently the Writer saw a very good ar
rangement at the experiment station
at Southern Pines, N. C. A large wire
covered yard contained a number of
fowls, the yard being so arranged that
it could be moved daily. Little trucks
Were at the four corners, but so ar
ranged that when not in service the
trucks permitted the frame of the yard
to rest on the ground. This was neces
sary as a protection to the chicks. A
new pasture ground was thus given the
flock every day. Moreover, the manure
was evenly distributed and all accum
ulations were prevented.
Chicken-eggs hatch in twenty-one
days; duck eggs in twenty-eight; geese
eggs in thirty; turkey eggs, twenty
eight; guinea fowls, twenty-five; pea
fowls, twenty-eight; pheasants, twenty-five;
partridges, twenty-four; os
triches, forty to forty-two days. A
strictly fresh egg of any extraction will
hatch several hours earlier than a stale
one. Tnere is aiso a umerence in tne
time of hatching of eggs caused by
the habits of the birds sitting on them.
Some hens sit closer to the eggs than
do others and so keep the eggs at a
more even temperature. Such eggs are
about certain to hatch before others.
Asparagn Bean.
There are several kinds of beans
that, though articles of diet ia Orien
tal countries, are used only to a lim
ited extent in the United States, usual
ly by Chinese or other residents of
foreign birth or extraction. Lablab
beans (Dolichos lablab), asparagus
bean (Dolichos sesquipedalis), and
mungo bean (Phaseolus mungo), may
be mentioned. The green pods of as-
AantnaUao.
paragus bean (here illustrated) are
largely used as a snap bean. The pods
are long, containing 10 to 16 seeds,
more slender than string beans, and
slightly ridged along the middle of
the two valves. Under the name of
"toukok" this vegetable is cultivated
by the Chinese in some regions of Cali
fornia, and is said to be finding favor
with the white residents, and is con
sidered a valuable variety of snap
bean.
The production of sanitary milk is
certain to be in a future time a large
branch of dairying. The agitation of
the tuberculosis question has stirred
people up to demand germ-free milk.
At the present time what is known as
sanitary milk brings a better price
on the market than milk not sur
rounded with every safeguard. In
Chicago the price is double that for
ordinary milk, the rates per quart be
ing 6 and 12 cents. In some other
places the rate is 10 centa per quart.
At these prices we are told the pro
ducers of sanitary milk cannot keep
up with the demand. Ultimately the
prices for the two kinds of milk will
draw together, as the amount of san
itary milk increases. When the idea
of using only safe milk has taken hold
of people to the extent that half or
the milk used is of that kind, a new
factor will appear. That factor will
be local legislation in favor of sani
tary milk and the prohibition of the
sale of any other kind of milk.
The world of horticulture is a mys

But we are now awaking to the fact
that we must consider maternity in the
vegetable world. As ccientists investi

there self-sterile varieties among
grapes, plums and pears, but among
the apples self-sterility exists to a
great extent.. More than that, varie

affinity toward each other and if plant
ed together will produce no fruit This
presents a new field for investigation
and research.

Farmers as miicn as any class. of
ilaen should know what to look for
When looking over a horse before pur
chasing him and should go about it in
a proper way. As it is, they are too apt
to think that because they Have always
bad more Br less to do with horses
that they cannot be fooled or cheated,
and are so often .too careless With the
result that they fall Into traps and are
2aanclal losers. We see this at the
Chicago Stock Yards, where many
farmers come to buy work horses and
give them less careful examination
than many city buyers, who show
great care, in their purchases and em
ploy veterinarians ,to help them if not
Personally qualified, to judge as to
soundness. There are a few simple
points which .anyone may remember
atid. follow when examining a horse
to find if he is. sound or practically
sound. See the horse in his stall and
before he has been exercised for the
day If possible. By so doing it is
bfteh possible to discover that the an
imal is a "crlbber" and "wlndsucker."
In the sdme way one may catch a
case of spavin lameness which would
not be seen were the horse allowed to
come out of the barn on the run and
keep" going while under inspection.
Many spavined horses show the lame
ness most when made to "get over" in
the stall and when backing out of the
stall; This is also true of horses af
flicted with chorea (St Vitus' dance),
Which is not apparent when the ani
mal Is exercised, yet constitutes un
soundness. Horses so affected are
termed "crampy" by the horse buyers
and some of them are so slightly af
fected that one Is sure to be "stuck" if
the examination Is not made in the
barn. By watching the horse in his
stall it Is also possible to notice if he
Be a "weaver," which means a horse
that is constantly weaving his head
back and forward like a captive Hon
In his den. This is to many people a
very irritating habit and is certainly
unsightly, but does not, properly
speaking, constitute unsoundness, nor
do We think it injures a horse for
work. After viewing the horse in his
stall have him led out and examine
his eyes. Stand in front of him and
with the hand pretend to strike the
horse below the eye, trying each side
alternately. The animal will flinch
the moment the motion is made if he
can see. This is necessary even with
horses having large, prominent eyes,
for there Is a disease called "amauro
sis," which causes blindness from par
alysis of the optic nerves, yet the an
imal has a fine appearing eye. Walk
slowly around the horse and note his
every point from a small distance.
Look at the contour of his head and
neck, the lines of his back, the way
his shoulders are set, the manner in
which he stands upon his legs, the
shape of his legs, the way in which he
carries his tail, the many other points
which go to make a horse attractive
or the reverse. Watch him again
when walked and trotted, and if he is
satisfactory in these respects examine
him more carefully point by point
when standing still. Commence at
the teeth and determine his age, or It
will be usually sufficient to ascertain
whether he is under or over eight
years of age. Pass the finger into the
mouth and examine by pressure where
the bit would press to sec if the bars
of the mouth (lower jaw) are sound.
Often the bone is broken at this place,
and this is usually indicated by an
open sore and bad odor from retained
decomposing saliva or bone. See that
the tongue is whole, not partially sev
ered; that the front teeth (Incisors)
do not lap over each other like the
bill of a parrot, for a horse so de
formed cannot graze properly. Next
examine the corners of the mouth to
see that he is not a hard puller as in
dicated by a sore or callous condition
which Indicates lugging on the bit.
If the teeth are much worn down in
an uneven manner in front It may- be
concluded that the horse is a crlbber
If that has not been discovered by
watching him in his stall. Examine
the nostrils for a tumor or polypus
may be present in the false nostril
which overlies the true nostril. It
may also show evidence of a chronic
discharge which If present should
lead the intending buyer to examine
more carefully for glanders, nasal
glut or a diseased molar tooth.
Hortleallnral ObeerTatlona,
The fearful ravages of the San Jose
scale are plainly evident in some of
our best peach-growing states. We
believe that some of our Illinois men
that are laughing at this pest as of
no consequence would quickly change
their minds if they could go through
the peach-growing sections of our At
lantic states. Whole orchards have,
within two years, had to be cut down,
each orchard consisting of thousands
of trees. A representative of the
Farmers Review recently visited an
orchard of thousands of trees that are
apparently doomed to the axe. The
trees are just coming into bearing, but
are so covered with the scale that
treatment is almost out of the ques
tion. The question of destroying plant lice
by fumigation is a live one and one
that is being exploited. Of old we used
to kill rose lice with the fumes of to
bacco. The present mode includes the
killing of tree and plant insects by
more powerful gases. Thus the San
Jose scale Is being disposed of by the
assistance of hydrocyanic gas applied
to the trees when the latter have been
covered with big tents. With small
peach trees the application becomes
ea'Sy, especially when the trees are
low-headed. Later experimenters are
using the same gas to destroy lice on
vegetables. Small caps are made, to
be placed over each plant, and inside
is dropped a small amount of the
chemicals that make the gas. In ten
minutes the insects are all dead, and
the plant uninjured. The process is,
however, only in it3 experimental
stage.
The articles that are appearing in
the Farmers Retiew on the Kieffer
pear illustrate how skilled men may
differ. Some of the horticulturists that
are looked upon as authorities and as
well-nigh infallible, have taken posi
tions diametrically opposed to each
other. We hope there will be more
unanimity of opinion after all the evi
dence is in. Nearly every subject has
in it more than appears on superficial
investigation.

such high praise that I decided to try

faith, I felt so much better im a week
that I felt encouraged-
"I took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy Indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fall
to express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is the best thing I could
wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy
that now." Minnie E. McAllister. ,
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to imitate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found In
many drug stores. These remedies, can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at a uniform price, andho
druggist can get it a cent cheapen

to substitute the cheap imitations bf
