IELL ADULTERATED SEED,
Agricultural Department Blacklists a
Long List or Dealers.
Washington, Nov. 14. While the air
in full of talk about graft, Secretary
Wilson, of the dopartment of Agricul
ture, is going ahead quietly puncturing
one form of graft that is iinpood upon
the farmers of the country that oper
ated by the fraudulent seed men. Tin
dor a special act of congress Mr. Wil
son's dopartment makes an examina
tion and analysis of seed sent in by
farmers who aro suspicious that dealers
aro soiling them adulterated goods. As
result of Investigations recently
mado, the Agricultural department has
issued a warning to farmers against
buying red clover or alfalfa seed from
number o( dealers who have been
found disposing of adulterated sood.
The dealers named on tlio 'let aro:
W. W. Hawson A Co., Boston; Rons
Bros., Worccstor Mass.; W. II. Small

is a warning to farmers who aro in tho
market for red clovor or alfalfa need.
ITS WORK A FIA8CO.
Committee on Public Printing Does
Not Fix Blame for Waste.
Washington, Nov. 14. Judging by
results so far obtained by tho "joint
commlttoe on printing," tho public
printing graft is not going to bo checked
by congress this winter, as President
Iloosovelt had hoped. After giving
hearings to officials of the government
printing office, officials in chargo of
senate and house documents and som'o
of tho men in chargo of publications in
the various departments, tho committee
arrives at the conclusion that thcro has
been waste. It is not ablo to analyzo
tho wastu; it is not ablo to point out
tho manner in which tho waste can bo
chocked; it Is not ablo to fix tho re
sponsibility. In short, the committee
has brought to light nothing new. Ana
now it has taken an indefinite recess.
But this class of investigation is typ
ical. It is about as effective as the
averago congrerBional inquiry. It is
parallel to tho inquiry held in the laBt
congress for tho purpose of clearing
senators and representatives of charges
mado against thorn In tho famous liris
tow postal roport.
NO BILL, SAYS BURTON.
Congressional Appropriations Must Be
Kept at Lowest Figure.
Washington, Nov. 14. Tho Post
tomorrow will say:
No genoral river and harbor bill will
bo passed by congress at tho approach
ing session. This forecast was mado by
Representative Burton, of Ohio, chair
man of tho river and harbor committee,
before ho left Washington for Hot
Springs, Va., for a short vacation.
There are two cogent reasons for not
ensctincr such legislation next winter,
according to Representative Burton
first, because a largo bill passou isbi
session carried appropriations for all
projects deserving of immediato atten
tion from congress; second, tho neces
sity of holding down appropriations to
tho lowsot flguro to provont, if possible,
annthor deficit In tho treasury.
Boycott Is a Bugaboo.
Washington, Nov. 14. "Tho Chi

tainly cannot be carried to tho oxtont
of seriously affecting our commerce in
tho Orlont," d clarod Charles Donby,
tho now chief olerk In tho State depart
ment, today. Ho recently completed
a20.yoar official residence In China,
and has arrived in Washington to as
sumo his new duties. "When I left
Pokin last Marh, thoro was no apparent
dlsBatisfactlon over tho exclusion law,
and thoro was no talk of a boyott,"
lie said.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 14. Tho strlko

yesterday evening in tho State Railroad

railroads havo lost evbry point, and-tho
commission has arbitrarily announced
its intent to fix tho rates to favor Puget
sound at tho expense of Portland.
Tho O. R. A N. Co., by its attorney,
James Wilson, announced just before
adjournment of tho commission, after
all tho testimony had been taken, that
it would grant a rate of $2.55 on Ros
lyn coal from Wallula to Colfax, mak
ing tho total rate on both roads of
$4.45, thus placing Roslyn coal on an
equal basis with Wyoming coal.
CommIfaIoner McMillan asked if the
O. R. A N. and Northern Pacific would
make tho samo rate on Roslyn coal to
Colfax that tho Northern Pacific makes
to Garfield an! Pullman. Mr. Wihjon
stated ho haB no authority to make such

BLOW AT IRRIGATION.
Hitchcock Refuses to Approve Pro
jects In the Northwest.
Washington, Nov. 13. Following
closo upon Secretary Taft's refnsal to
recommend an appropriation for con
tinuing tho improvement of tho mouth
of tho Columbia river comes Secretary
Hitchcock's refusal to approve the
Umatilla irrigation project in Oregon,
and tho Okanogan and Tictan projects,
in Washington, all of which iiave been
pronounced feasible by the reclamation
engineers, and all of which were ro
cently submitted to Mr. Hitchcock for
his approval. Lack of funds is given
as his reason for turning down all three
projects.
Mr. Hitchcock finds that he has al
lotted all the money in the reclamation
fund and about $8,000,000 in excess.
He concludes that it is time to check
these allotments, and is determined to
accumulate a surplus before more work
Is undertaken. He therefore intends
to hold back on new projects until July
1, at which time, it is estimated, there
will bo a surplus on hand of about 3,
000,000. Mr. Hitchcock finds nothing
wrong witli the engineering features of
theso projects, but he is entering upon
a now policy of distributing money out
of the reclamation fund, and his reform
is put in forco just at the tune when
Oregon and Washington were in line
for recognition.
Another thing that develops in con
nection with tho refusal to approve tbe
Umatilla, Okanogan and Tietan projects
is the determination of the secretary to
hereafter confine allotments.of reclama
tion funds to 51 per cent of the amount
contributed by tho various states and
territories. It is unfortunate for Ore
gon and Washington that this rule is
adoptod at this late day, but, if it be'
lived up to strictly, tbe secretary
should at once expend $2,500,000 in
Oregon and moro than $1,500,000 in
Washington. As a matter of fact, not
a dollar of the reclamation fund has
been expended on any irrigation work
in Washington, and tbe only benefit
Oregon seems likely to receive for somo
time Ib her share of the $1,000,000
which has been set aBldo for Klamath.
ONLY HERRICK IS BEATEN.
Republicans Carry Most of Ohio Elec
tion Legislature Doubtful.
Columbus, O., Nov. 13. Today'B
developments have cleared up the post
election situation in'Ohio considerably.
Practically complete returns on tho en
tire state ticket show that all tbe Re
publican candidates except for governor
have been elected by substantial plu
ralities. The figures given out by
Chairman Dick, of tho Republican
State committee, show a range from
27,000 plurality on lieutenant governor
to 30,000 on state treasurer. Leads
Houck, Democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor, before leaving for his
homo at Mount Vernon tonight, ad
mitted his defeat. Chairman Garber,
of tho Democratic Stato committee,
wob expected to givo out a statement
tonight, but did not.
Both parties continue to claim a ma
jority in both branches of the legis
laturo. The majority in either branch
will bo email, possibly not more than
two or three for the party that controls
LET ROOT MANAGE BIG CANAL.
Plan to Relieve Taft of Panama Mat
ters Again Discussed.
Washington, Nov. 18. An echo of
the suggestion that tbe Isthmian canal
should be placed under the btate da
partment has been heard in a rumor of
tho possibility that tho Insular bureau,
which grew up under the direction of
Secretary Root when he was at the
head of tho War department, may be
transferred to the State department
The discussion of the matter has not
taken any concrete form, but it is one
of the suggestions made to relieve the
secretary of war of heavy responBibili
ties which now rest upon him in ad
ministering not only tho affairs of the
army, but tho Philippines, tho Panama
canal and other island interests.
It would tako legislation to bring
about tho change, as the Insular bureau
was legislated Into the War depart
ment when tho Philippine government
act was passed.

WIHTEn TUKKKY IIQDBE.
' SB Bill j
IltiHklttK Corn.
By far the most serious task In rais
ing corn Is the matter of husking It In
tho field. Up to date no practical ma
chine adapted to this purpose has ap
peared. Many have been tried, but
they ustinlly fall short In some Import
ant particular. None of them has bo-
come popular, and a fortune awnlta
the man who perfects a thoroughly
practical corn busker, which will bo
ns successful relatively as the modern
busker is for corn fodder, says Orango
Judd Farmer. When corn Is to bo
husked direct from the standing corn,
it should be allowed to mature qulto
thoroughly, particularly If It Is of a
variety with largo ears and large cob,
containing a high percentage of mois
ture. This must be determined by ex
amination. Some seasons husking bo-
gins the latter part of September,
while In others it is not safe to begin
husking until the middle or end of Oc
tober. The time will also depend
largely upon the variety. Early ma
turing kinds have small cobs, and they
can be husked much earAer than late
maturing and large-ear varieties. Corn
when first placed In the crib contains
13 to 35 or 40 per cent of moisture. A
common practice In the great corn
States Is to start through the field
marking a "down" row. Husk two
rows to the left of the wagon and tho
one row that Is under It Go around a
good-sized "land" In this manner. Tho
next time through tbe field and every
succeeding time thereafter f have tno
team straddle the last husked row
next the corn that has not been
husked. This will prevent the neces
sity of picking up a down row each
time, and will enable the busker to do
his work. The ordinary wagon bos
will hold from twenty-five to thirty
bushels. When the corn Is exception
ally good, a skillful busker will be ablo
to more than fill one wagon box in
half a day. The capacity of a bos
may be increased by putting on addi
tional sideboards. On the right side of
the wagon box it Is desirable to placa
one or two extra boards to act as
bump boards. The busker will not
need to use so much care In throwing
in his work. A good busker so gauges
the distance from the row In the wag
on box that It Is not necessary for him
to look where he throws his ear.
Fertilizing the Garden.
There is no better way to fcrtlllzo
the garden than to haul fresh manuro
from the stables and spread over thd
surface during the winter. Contrary
to the common belief, there Is never a
time "when manure Is so rich In plant
food as the day it is made, and th
sooner after that it can be got to tho
place where It Is to be used, the more
value It will add to the soli. It Is al
most Impossible to put too much ma
nure on a garden. We would nofhesl
tate to put it a foot thick on the sur
face, for It "will leach only so much
more .plant-food into the soil, and by
plowing time next spring vrill be set
tled down until it can easily be plowed
under to furnish humus for the better
ment of the physical condition of the
soil. Wood ashes makes an excellent
fertilizer for the garden, but it should
be saved and applied on top of tho
soil after It Is plowed In the spring, as
potash is one of the plant-foods that
may be washed too deeply Into tho
soli to be reached by the roots of gar
den plants, many of which are shallow-rooted.
Fattening Steers.
The old method of cramming cor-n
Into a steer regardless of whether or
not he digests It depending on hogs'
to pick up the undigested corn, Is a
poor as well as an old method. To put
on good flesh and to put It on fast a
steer should digest thoroughly all tho
food that he takes Into his stomach.
The food should be prepared carefully
hi order that perfect digestion should
take place. Less com and more en
silaged foods should be used in fin
ishing a steer for the market, for tho
old Idea that corn Is the only food that
will finish a steer properly Is demon
strated to bo a mistaken one by ex
periment stations conducted by respon
sible men selected by tho government
Kxhtblting Fruits at Fairs.
One of the handsomest nnd most at
tractive exhibits of fruit wo have ever
seen was that shown by Lucas County
at the Ohio Stato fair. The fruits,
which comprised practically tho wholo
list of those available at that season,
wero neatly arrauged on a largo tablo
about twenty feet square and In such
a manner that the combination of va
rieties and colors at once attracted at
tention aud prompted comment on tho
beauty of tho products. Too frequent
ly color on exhibition tables Is over
looked. Exchange.
Xitind that Should lie Brained.
It Is estimated that thero aro about
ono hundred million acres now unpro
ductive which can bo reclaimed
through dikes and drains. This land
would havo a productive capacity equal
to four times that of the Stato of Illi
nois and would considerably exceed
tho productive area which can bo re
claimed by irrigation.
Cost of Filling Silos.
Tho cost of filling silos was esti
mated by tho Illinois Station from rec
ords obtained from nineteen farms In
nrlous parts of tho Stato and tho fig
ures Bhowed a rango of forty to
seventy-six cents per ton, tho average
being fifty -six cents. '
