Commiaaioner Hermann of the Gen

proof made during the present year
under' the timber and stone act,
pending conclusion of the full inves
tigation and inquiry, begun some
time ago. Thia action applies to
all States where government timber
land is purchased, and involves
thousand of cases Many of the
large companies and speculators
who, it is alleged, have had "dum

these lands from the government,
re, in Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota.
The President has issued his pro
clamation establishing free trade be

Rican legislature does it appear that
the island was set free commercially

The government of Nicaragua has
recently put in a claim to sover

islands, including the Mangle Is
lands, lying off the Atlantic coast of
the Isthmus of Panama. The Is
lands ate unimportant except for
their strategic location off the east

For 1 his reason the controversy haB
received the attention of ihe Isthm

not, however, had occasion to tHke
definite action on the subject.
The status of the Porto Rican reg
iment has been fixed. Judge Ad
vocate General Davis says: "The
Porto Rican command is to be con
sidered legally as much a part of the
regular army as the First Infantry
or the Fifty Cayalry or any other
regiment of the army, and its of-ricer-i
are quite as much officers of

naval authorities tq4nvite proposals
from large towing concerns for the
contract of taking the dock to its

WASHINGTON AGRICULTURAL LETTER.
Experts from the Agricultural
Department are engaged in prepar
ing regulations for the insection of
dairy product intended forexporta
tion, the Department having been
authorized by the agricultural ap
propriation bill to apply the law for
the inspection and branding of cat
iieiosucn products, the purpose
is to enable exporters to give foreign
buyers the assurance of certification
by the government of the United
States of the purity, quality, and
grade of dairy exports. Secretary
Wilson decided to exercise the au
thority conferred on him by estab
lishing a system of inspection in the
custom districts of Boston, New
York, Chicago ; and San Francisco.
A beginning will be made in a ten
tative way, with the urpose in
view to bring about a practical am)
an honest system by which all per
sons may be properly protected
It is stated at the department to be
"probable that at an early date the
owners or shippers of products for
export may, upon application, have
the same marked and certified as to
purity and quality, provided they
are above minimum grade, yet to
be fixed."
Live stock receipts at the five
principal markets of Chicago, Kan
sas City, Omaha, St. Louis, and St.
Joseph during 1901 show remark
able gains over last year, but as re
gards April and the four months
ending with April, the official re
ceipts of cattle, hogs, and sheep in
the four months just ended showing
an increase of 359,417 head, as com
pared with the corresponding four
months of 1900 The rise in the
price of corn is pointed out as being
largely responsible for this increased
movement of livestock to market, it
having become more profitable to
sell corn at 25 per cent, above last
year's price than to keep the stock
on such high priced feed. '
Statistics have been compiled by
Mr. Frank H. Hitchcock, chief of
the loreign market section of the
Department of Agriculture, showing
the agricultural exports of the Un
ited States for the .years 1896 to
1900. The figures show, that dur
ing the year 1900 there were twelve
countries to each of which the Un
ited States exported over 1 10,000,
000 worth of domestic farm pro
duce. A total of 1408,000,000 was
purchased by the United Kingdom,
the largest on record except that ol
1898, while Germany bought 1134,
000,000 worth, an increase of about
100 per cent, in the past five years.
Other large importers were the
Netherlands, France, Belgium'
Italy, Canada, Japan, Denmark,
Cuba, Spain and British Africa.
Other countries took less than ten
millions worth.
Consul Mahin, of Reichenberg, re
ports that it is intended this year to
essay the cultivation of the cotton
plant in Hungary. It i said that
it will ripen in the southern part of
that Kingdom, efforts to grow cot
ton in the lower provinces of Asiatic
Russia, in , the same latitude as
Hungary, having been successful.
It is probable tbat bounties will be
paid the cotton planters, in keeping
with Hungary's liberal treatment of
the founders of factories." More or
less success is now attending the
culture of cotton in 9pain. southern
Italy, Macedonia, ami Malta.

IT. S, Consul John C Corerk
Lvom; France, In' a report to the
Sute Department, gives the follow
ins; inform abort in regard to agn
cuitoral organisation in ; France :
Associations of farmers, called
"syndicate agricoles," have been
organized all over France since the
passage of the law of March 21,
1884, their aim being to further the
economic, industrial, commercial,
and agricultural interests of their
members and to attach the farmer
more closely to the country. They
are organized under a general law
which authorizes any twenty pei-
sons of one trade, or several similar
trades, to combine in a society,
The dues are fixed at from 10 cents
to 91. per month. According 10
the latest reports there are now in
France, 2,067 societies of farmers
with 512,794 members. These
sociaties are combined in ten unions
which have representatives in Paris,
who watch the course of legislation
in the interests of the members.
Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and party have
returned from a trip in the moun
tains of North Carolina. The trip
was to observe the country, with
the view of including it in the pro
posed national park for the protec
tion of forests, the preservation of
natural waterways and the preven
tion of the erosion of soil and filling
up uf the river channels. This
movement for the formation of such
a national park is especially strong
in Virginia, Nor Hi Carolina, 4outh
Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and West Virginia. , Advo
cates of such a park desire to in
clude in it 5,000,000 acres, embrac
ing the high mountains from Vir
ginia to Georgia and the main chain
of the Appalachian system. While
other countries are spending large
sums of money in order to add to
their forests, it is only necessary in
the United Stales to preserve what
is already provided by nature in
abundance.

The young couplo began soon to
put on fancy trimmings with the old
man. He was not invited out when
they had a pink tea or green "break

chinks. WelL the old man wouldn't
have enjoyed it anyhow, for he was
used to plain, substantial cooking,
snd a supper of little cakes, ice
cream, a croquette, a dab of salad
and a glass of frappe would floor
him. When he had suppers, there
would be a big dish of birds, hot bis
cuits, pickles and preserves, old style
chicken salad and a hot punch after

But the old man stood the change

he came down home and asked him
to give his wife a chiffonier, pro

drainage. "By earth roads," says Pro
cessor Baker, "Is meant roads built of
oara and clay," and be continues:
! Drainage Is the most important mat
ter to be considered In the construction
of eartb roads. No road, whether earth
or stone, can long remain good without
drainage. Drainage alone will often
change a bad road to a good one, and
the best road may be destroyed by the
absence of proper drainage. Water is
the only agent that destroys earth
b-oade. Water and dirt make mud, and
mud makes bad going. The dirt Is al
ways In the road, and the water comes

at unpropltious times, as rain or snow.
The water softens the eartb, the horses'
feet and wagon wheels mix It, and It
soon becomes Impaiaable mud. Final
ly the frost freezes It, and the second
state of the road Is worse than the first,
for a time at least Further, if the wa
ter Is allowed to course down tbe mid
die ef tbe road It will wash away tbe
earth and leave gullies In the surface
that must be laboriously filled up by
.the traffic or the band of man. No
road, however well made otherwise,
can endure If the water collects or re
mains on It' Prompt and thorough
drainage is a vital essential In all road
construction. ' ' ' '
A perfectly drained road will have
three systems of drainage, each. of
which must receive special attention If
the best results are to be obtained.
This Is true whether the trackway be
Iron, broken stone, gravel or earth, and
It IS emphatically true of earth. ' These

The most Important object of under

depressions with water, and tbe road is

foundation. A dry sudsou can support

to Just under the surface of a road hav

tbat except in tbe road vegetation is
nntlnnall nlimnlna tha water tin from
the sabsoil and giving It oat Into tbe
air, while in the road ue compact sur
face prevents evaporation of tbe water
In tbe subsoil. Therefore the roaa
needs anderdramage more tban tbe

-A second object of underdraltiago Is
to dry the ground quickly after a
freeze. When tne rrost comes out 01

qalte as much from the bottom as from

tbe water wbea released by thawing

set up other blocks upon which to build
tbe third frame, making these blocks
long enough to space these frames two
feet from centers. Continue on In this

William Ernst of Nebraska says to
Prairie Farmer; When I cams out west,
more tban a quarter of a century ago.
It did not take many years to find out
tbat It was more profitable to pasture
tbe grass around me tban to burn It In
tbe fall... This pasturing of the grass
was done so successfully tbat none waa
left to bum or to pastor. Finally 1
waa compelled to break up tbe land
and farm It I raised large crops of
small grain, bnt soon saw tbat It was
a money losing gams and tried to seed
my land back to grass. I found It very
difficult to get tame pastures to stick,
and If by accident I got a good stand
of timothy or clover tbe Utter would
not last and tbe former after a good
crop or two would get what I called
sod bound and would not produce a
load or bay to the acre. I know now
why tbe timothy did no good after a
year or two. It Was becanse we pas
tured It to tbe roots, thinking It eco
nomical to let stock eat tbe but spear
ef grass tbat showed op In the fell
Land having by tbat time advanced la
price, 1 could not afford to owa pas
tares of that kind, and so I overstocked
It to make both ends meet 1 made up
my mlad to owa lea aad better stock.
and this change, in no time made a
great Improvement In my pastures.
eooo saw tbat a growth of grass cov
ered tbe pastures la dry weather when
ail the range la short pastures was
buraed. ' ,
