thing like "Thimble, thimble"
etc. that numerous persons are en

many of them are out is a question
that is the key to the game and not
likely to be fully answered until the
holders of them make a demand on
the Cuban government, soon to be
established. One man, who prob
ably knows about all that is to be
known about those bonds, and may
be has a big block of them himself,
was in Washington this week, con
ferring with Secretary Root and Mr.
mt,:i -i
muxviuiDj . i iint was uen. Maximo
Gomez, who commanded what the
Cubans were pleased to call an
army when the Americans took pos
session of Cuba, and he came straight
from the man who knows even more
about the bonds than he does, be
cause all tnat were sold bad to uass
through his hands. That man is
Tomaso Estrada Palma, who was at
the head of the Cuban junta in New
York, where he still makes his
home. Gen. Gomez talks a lot of
rot about gratitude bringing him to
Washington, but some very clear
signs indicate that his real object is
to secure administration influence
for a Cuban Presidential candidate
who can be depended upon not to
turn the cold shoulder to Gomez
and his friends who have Cuban
bonds. Bat why he didn't fix it up
with Gen. Wood, in Havana, with
out bringing the matter to Wash
ington, is a little puzzling, although
the fact that Gen. Wood's private
secretary is . with Gomez indicates
thattlie vTsit to Washington was ap
pro vred. by' Wood.':
i Senator TJllnian .passed through
Washington this week, and he ex
pressed some rigorous political opin
ions. For instancethe said : "It
isstuDid to talk 'about the demo
cratic party feirig'the enemy of the
business interests. We endorse tne
free coinage of silver, but events
have proveq' that our contention as
t) the need of more money was cor
rtSe?pr6aperity which the
country ibas experienced is simply
due to the large increase in the 8up
ply of gold through new discoveries.
We are riding now on tne cresi oi
thrwl75ut It will not be long be
fore we get into the trough. Hard
times will come, and then what are
the republicans to do. They have
enacted a high tariff and hare given
I w
us a gold standard and when they
find that neither of these will avoid
disaster, they will seek to find some
other remedy, the result of which
will be to help the nch without re
gard to the poor." Of the future
democratic policy, Mr. Tillman
Bald :." "We will be against a carp
et-bag gorernment for the Philip
pines, because we know the erils
which such government brings in its
train. --1 do not know that the mon
ey question will figure in , the next
campaign, but I do know that Ihere
will be plenty of rulnerable) spots in
Die republican armor whieh w can
attack." Of the probabll demo
cratic candidate, Senato Tilunan
gaicTTI do not yet see a candi
date in sight, but, I for one, wi'l not
faror the nomination of any one
who has not been identified with
the party during the past tour yeare.
I do not ser how it is posaioie i

Washington this week, on his way
to New York, said of the political
outlook : "The democratic party
is all right, and it has fully recover
ed irom the defeat of 1900. What
we w ant to do to
win next year is
simply to take advantage of our op
port unities. The republicans seem
to be all at sea on the tariff ques
lion, and in my opinion the tariff
will agniii come to the front as an
issue But there will be other live
issues besides the tariff in the next
campaign."
fteiiatnr iianna sent his private
secretary to Washington to impress
upon the mind of Mr. McKinley
the n tessity, for his presence among
the Ohio republicans to prevent the
present nickering growing into
regular cut throat fight, and the re

During the fiscal year just ended
the net increase in the number of
names on the government pension
rolls was nearly 2,500. The exact
number now on the rolls cannot be
ascertained until the various pen

but the officials of the Pension of

000. During the year 44,801 ori
ginal pensions were issued.
The quartermaster's department
of the army has completed arrange

men of the Coast Artillery. These
buildings are to be erected at forti

for the purpose.
Carriers of rural free delivery mail
in the United States must hereafter
refrain from other business while
performing their regular duties as
such carriers. Complaints have re
cently been received at the depart
ment stating that many rural free
delivery carriers in different sections
of the country have been making it
practice of delivering or selling
goods along the mail routes, beoom-
ng so zealous in thi-. that they have
neglected their mail duties. Hence
an order is to lie issued prohibiting
the practice altogether.
Admiral Walker, chairman of the
nsulur canal commission, says that
there are only two things inter
fering with satisfactory progress on
the canal report : first, the lack of
draughtsmen to complete the maps ;
and, second, the re-arrangement of
estimates on certain branches of the
work, due to new data brought by
the last party which arrived from
Central America. The members of
the commission are hopeful that the
report can be completed within the
present month.
The circulation statement issued
by the comptroller, of the currency
shows that at the close of the fiscal

national bank notes were $353,742,

$44,101,744.
The sequel of the Sampson letter
in the Gunner Morgan .controversy
is seen in the fact that only two of
the large number of possible candi
dates have applied for commissions
in the line of the nary. The quali
fications of age and service have
been made such that few men of the
navy who are under the age limit
will have bad the requisite amount
of service as warrant officers.. This
may have been purposely arranged
to shut out the majority of enlisted
men, as the bureau of navigation,
which has charge of the examina
tions, is bitterly opposed to per
mitting "common" ' sailors to get
into the line.
During the fiscal year just ended
the total coinage executed by the
United Stales mints was $130,340,
781.58. This amount was made np
of 1 '-'6, 999, 132 separate coins. The
gold coinage amount! $99,065,715
and the silver coinage to $35,205.

significant feature is the amount of
minor coins and subsidiary surer

the country.
The Comptroller of the Treasury
baa decided that in the case of any
enlisted man in the army, nary, or
marine corps, who, prior to Ibe act
of March 3, 1901, as far back as
Dec 1, 1873, revived a medal for
distinguished conduct in tattle, he
is also entitled to a gratuity pay
ment of $100. The imrticular case
which called fir Ibe dciirtn is that
of R. Halbert, Crrmrrly an appren

medal for heroic conduct under fire

Major W. C Gorgas, chief san

labor and money we are expending

Formerly we paid no particular at
tention to mosquitoes merely disin

other infectious diseases."
Judge Tttft is now Civil Governor
of the Philippines. His appoint
ment as such has been expected
ever since he was placed at the head
of the Philippine commission. At
the time of his selection for the post,
Judge Taft was a circuit judge on
the federal bench. He gave up a
splendid life position to go to the
Philippines to take charge of the in
terests of the United , States. He
will probably be appointed to the
Supreme Bench before the close of
President McKinley 'a term :
Apparently the Naval Board of
Construction has abandoned its
former position in regard to super
imposed turrets on battleships of the'
navy. Three vessels have been de
signed with such equipment, and
the other ships which are now being
considered by the board will pro
bably not have this double turrets
as a feature of the armament. The
plan was first suggested by Admiral
Sampson.
The little Spanish prize gunboat
Alvarado, captured at Santiago, has

the sounds and inland waters of the
Southern States engaged in enlisting
fishermen and seafaring people for
the naval service. These persons
cannot he reached by the ordinary
recruiting station in towns, as few
of them ever get far from their
smacks and huts of the sounds.
The age limit for postal employees
has been changed, Those within
which applicants could apply for
positions as carriers heretofore have
been twenty-one as the minimum
and forty as the maximum. The
minimum for clerks has been eigh
teen, with no maximum. A un
iform minimum of eighteen and a
maximum of forty-five for all em
ployees has now been adopted. ,
, One hundred and nineteen vacan
cies exist in the grade of ensign in
the navy. This serious shortage
shown by the midsummer naval
register, which will be published in
a few days, will cause Secretary
Long to make earnest lecommenda
to Congress that the number of naval
cadets at Annapolis be largely in
creased. There are 120 ensigns in
service, most of them at sea.

THE HOME MARKET IDEA.
Feed I a Crops on the Fare Frosea
Wheat Valaable For Stock.
It has seemed to the Utah station
that farmers wbo are engaged In the
production of liny and grain might,
with advantage, add lamb feeding to
their work. This would afford a home
market for the products of tbe farm,
assist In maintaining the fertility of
tbe soil and would give profitable em
ployment during tbe winter months.
During tbe summer pf 1899 a heavy
frost Injured a considerable quantity
of fall wheat throughout the state. In
an experiment by tbe station frosted
BACK TJSED W FEKDDtO SHKEF.
wheat was fed to one set of lambs,
good wb,eat to another, and the remain
ing two sets received mill screenings.
No. 1 screenings Is that which comes
from tbe elevator first, and this con
tains clover seeds, alfalfa seeds and
tbe seeds from weeds of various kinds,
while No. 2 screenings la made up
mostly of cracked, broken and shrunk
en wheat.
The roughage used In the experiment
was tbe same in all of tbe sets a good
quality of alfalfa bay.
The sets on both grades of screenings
made better gains than tbat on good
wheat and one ot them better and tbe
other almost as good as tbe frozen
wheat set
Taking Into account both tbe rate and
tbe cost of tbe gains, tbe results of
this experiment Indicate that it Is
more profitable to feed screenings than
either good or frosted wheat.
Tbe froxen wheat used In this ex
periment was of medium grade, nei
ther tbe highest nor tbe lowest, and It
gave better returns In rate of gain than
wheat of good milling quality. This
result agrees wltb that obtainable at
the Canadian experiment station, where
it Is often found necessary to dispose
of largo quantities of frosen Wheat.
From the standpoint of composition
taken as a whole, the better grade of
frozen wheat ranks little Inferior for
stock feeding to that fully ripened.
Tbe composition of both kinds of
screenings shows a blgh reeding value,
though ibe large percentage of crude
fiber Indicates that they are less digest
ible than any of tile wheats.
On account of the numerous fine
seeds tbe first screenings contain, tbey
will give better results fed to sbeep
than to cattle and pigs.
In Manitoba and other portions ef
Canada, whore there art frequently
large quantities of frozen wheat. It has
been tested, ground and soaked for 12
hours before use. One hundred pounds
of frozen wheat were found equal to
701 pounds of sklmmllk In Increasing
tbe live weight of pigs. The pork was
considered excellent, much superior to
that of bogs fed on peas alone. Tbe
quality of beef from steers fed on fro
sen wbest was pronounced to be partic
ularly excellent by tbe butchers and
by the members of elgbt different
households wbo examined It critically
when served as roast beef.
Tbe various feeding trials Indicate
frozen wheat to be practically equal
to a mixture of wbest. oats and barley
for bog feeding and to stand very blgh
as a concentrated food for fattening
cattle.

I HIS IDEAL TOM.
A Cee4 Male Tarkey aa Described wi

Some writers say that to mate Bronze
turkeys you have only to "discard all
specimens disqualified by the stand.
ard." After 13 years spent In breed
ing these birds I must say I disagree
with them, for I have found the se
lection of tbe largest specimens and in
breeding them to certain extent will
increase the size instead of decreasing
it, but when carried too far Inbreeding
will impair the vitality and produce
deformities. Therefore to ' properly
mate these birds Is, I claim,' as much of
a problem as mating any of the stand
ard breeds of fowl. I wish tbe reader
to remember that I am referring to the
production of Bronce turkeys for breed-
ing and show purposes.
In regard to the shape of the male
I like one that stands well up. By
this I mean one tbat carries his breast
high, tbe same to be moderately full
and well rounded. I bave no use for
tbe bird tbat carries his breast and
body in a straight line parallel wltb
tbe ground. , Tbo Illustration shows

for tbe breeding yard 'or showroom,
except that the feathers on the rear
part of the back were raised a little

shades aa birds. There are the green
bronce, the black bronte, a dull brown
bronze and a yellow bronze. The lat
ter is my preference and what I think
is called for in the standard, although
plenty of Judges favor tbe black bronze
color. Tbe body and back will be dark
er wltb bronze reflections. Tbe legs
should be pink.
In wings and tail are where the
faults sppear. Spread tbe wing and
look for solid black feathers tn the
primaries. Irregular barring In both
primaries and secondaries and also a
white edge along tbe bottom of each
feather In the latter. Tbey are all bad
faults. Tbe tall, which Includes tall
coverts, Is seldom perfect In fact, I
bave never seen one. Tbe black bars
near tbe end of tbe tall coverts (I
mean tbe row of feathers lying farthest
out on tail proper) are generally miss
ing, and tbe two center feathers of
the tall proper always have tbe white
tip, tbe black bar and tbe brown bar
ring more or less mixed. 1 bave no
ticed the latter peculiarity in tbe wild
partridge. Spread tbe tail coverts
spart and look at tbe bottom of tbe tall
proper, and In a great many cases yoa
will find white barring tbe same ss on
the wing. This Is another serious
fault Some breeders are satisfied wltb
a tall wblcb Is all speckled with black
and brown so long as it bas ths black
bsnd near the tip and a white tip.
Now I am satisfied that a feather reg

Fig. 8 is as good In color of tall as I
bave seen.
I do not refer to alflbe shape or col
or sections. hu.t only to those wblcb
are usually faulty or in dispute. Tbe
above will give yoa my Idea of a good
male to bead a pen, except on one
point and that one, tn my estimation.
Is tbe most important via, yon should
Insist on baring a line bred bird. If
yoa as a bird produced from two
strains entirely different In build and
In a great many sections In color as
well, what can you expect? My ad
vice la to hare a good male sired by
good males of otio line of breeding.

Hard roads statisticians bave figured
tbat Illinois now spends snd bas been
spending for years more than S2.00O,
IMO annually on Its road work mors
than It is proposed to raise from both
rtata and township taxation under tbe
Curtis bill. This money goes for tne
pay of tbe county and township and
road district offlclale, for roadmaklng
tools, for labor, and where farmers
work out their road tax tbe allowance
to them la figured In. -
This sum. It Is estimated, would be
sufficient In a doses years to equip ev
ery township la tbe state wltb a north
and south and an east and west soao
adam road of first class quality, yet
this enormous sum Is annually spent
for nothing damped Into tbe mad. lit
erally as well as figuratively, through
lack of scientific skUt spplled to road
bolldlng.
Advocates of good roads legislation
are not all sticklers for macadam.

that a fair quality of road eaa bo mads
of ordinary prairie soli, but It moat be
scientifically constructed. .
