Discovered.
THE BURIAL OF THE REMNANTS
It is Found That His Desertion by Young
Carlin Was Cowardly in the Extreme
—Thigh Bone and One Leg All That
Remained of the Body.
M issoula , Mont., September 26.—The
Missoulan to-morrow will contain a
sensational story of the recovery and
burial of the remains of George Colgate,
the deserted cook of the notorious hunt
ing party headed by William E. Carlin,
son of General Carlin, late commander
of the department of the Columbia. The
discovery was made August 23 by Lieu
tenant Elliott eight miles below the spot
where the desertion occurred on Clear
water river. All that remained of Col
gate’s body was a thigh bone and one
leg, which was mangled and gnawed by
the wild beasts infesting that region. It
is presumed the rest of the remains were
carried away by the animals into the
mountain fastnesses. At the same spot
also were found the matchbox, fishing
lines and other articles identified as Col
gate’s property. The remains were in
terred in Lower Hot Springs, on the
middle fork of the Clearwater. Elliott
was sent out on this mission by the
present commander of the department
of the Columbia, to which official he
makes a full report, there being many
points tending to prove that Colgate’s
desertion by the Carlin party was
cowardly in the extreme;
the only monument .
S pokane , Wash., September 26.—In
addition to press dispatches sent put
word has been received here that Lieu
tenant Elliott and his party are now
working their way out of the Clearwater
region by way of the Coeur d’Alene coun
try, and will proceed at once to report
at Vancouver Barracks. The last rest
ing place of the unfortunate cook and
companion of General Carlin’s son was
marked by a little mound of earth and
a headstone, consisting of half a good-
sized tree, upon which was carved the
words, “George Colgate.” Lieutenant
Elliott says that the story circulated by

ON TO PEKING.
W ashington , September 27.—To-day’s
advices from Tokio that the second Jap
anese ariny of 30,000 men sailed from
Hiroschima yesterday is regarded in of
ficial. circles here as a first move in the
advance on the Chinese capital, Peking.
I The Gulf of Pe Chi Li, which the dis
patches give as the probable destination
of the army, is the entrance to the river
leading to Peking. It is said the Taku
forts at the entrance to Pei Ho river are
practically impregnable, owing to a
stretch of mud flats around them. It is
not believed therefore any advance oh
Peking would be made up the river, but,
30,000 men will be landed at some other
port, whence a short overland march
would take them to the walls of Peking.
A circuit of the forts is the strategic
move advised by a United States officer
of high rank, who has made a study of
the proposed invasion of .China.

STANDARD MEAT FOOD
Pork Stands at the Head in
This Country.
HOW IT SHOULD BE PREPARED
The Best Pork Made From Pigs Under
a Year Old—They Should be Given
Such Food as Will Produce Muscle
and Lean Meat to Greatest Extent.
Pork is the standard meat food of the
farmer of this country, and perhaps al
ways will be, and it should be prepared
in such manner that it will be whole
some and palatable. To do this -it is
necessary to begin with the pig that is
to be slaughtered and feed him judi
ciously. It is_ acknowledged that the
pork of European countries is more tooth
some than that of America, because it
contains less fat and is consequently of
better flavor and more digestible. The
old plan was to feed the hogs' until they
were nothing but masses of fat, because
pork of this kind lasted longer than that
which would be more inviting to the
palate.
The best pork is of course that made
from pigs under a .year ofo, and these,
should be given such food as will produce
muscle or lean meat to the greatest pos
sible extent. It should not be the prin
cipal aim to produce fat at first, but to
feed such foods as will make growth and
keep the digestive organs in good condi
tion. For this purpose a good grass
range is probably as good as anything,
and”plenty of milk where it is obtainable
will be found to supplement the grass
in the production of muscle.
If the pig is kept in a thriving condi
tion by a course of feeding of this kind,
it will be ready to finish for the shambles
in a short time, when the slaughtering
season comes. Bran and shorts are good
things to feed growing pigs, as they are
rich in bone and muscle-forming ma
terial. A pig that is fed something after
this style will not produce as much lard
as one that is kept until a year and a
half old, hut the pork from it will be
sweet and wholesome instead of a greasy
mass that is prolific of disease and dis
tasteful at any time to a refined taste.—

SPRAYING ORCHARDS.
A Splendid Opening for an Energetic
Young Man.
Since spraying the orchard is a neces
sity in order to produce merchantable
fruit on a large scale in all parts of the
country, preparations to treat the trees
in a proper manner should be made by
all owners of orchards, even though
small. In a district where fruit-growing
is merely a side issue and quite subordi
nate to the general farming interest it
may be inconvenient and perhaps ex
pensive for each farmer to maintain an
efficient spraying outfit. In such .cases
it will generally be found that by the
farmers of a neighborhood clubbing to
gether a spraying outfit sufficient for the
use of all may be obtained at a small
cost to each, and that the work may thus
be done for all at no great expense;
What would be still better, however,
would be to offer adequate inducements
to some enterprising young man in the
neighborhood to provide himself with
the necessary spraying apparatus and
materials for the required sprays and
then do the work for each orchardist as
required at a cost to be agreed upon. In
this way the work would almost certain?
ly be done when needed, and would not
be indefinitely postponed or indifferently
performed, as is so liable to be the case
when the small orchardist depends
wholly upon himself to provide the ap
pliances and materials for spraying.—

ROOTS OF FRUIT TREES.
Difficult to Break Away From an Old.
Habit.
While fruit-growers are aware now
that the roots of trees and plants extend
to great distance, still it is difficult to
break away from the old hgbit of manur
ing about the trunks, trusting that some
how or other the fertilizer will be ap
propriated and fearing that if spread
broadcast it may in some way become
lost. It will be found difficult to place
manure in an orchard or vineyard .where
the plants will not reach it, and if prop
erly spread will not be lost. Should it
sink into the subsoil root will follow it
and bring it back by the ear; as a teacher
would a truant schoolboy.
We have observed the roots of apple
trees in sand pits extending downward
ten feet. We recently followed the roots
of an old grape vine twenty feet under
the location of a defunct building. When
we Stopped digging the roots were as
large as a little finger, were four feet be
neath the surface and probably extended
ten feet farther. A pile of manure about
the base of this vine would have done
but little good.
Knowing the extent and'habit of root
growth, it is'apparent that cultivation
dose about the trunks of the trees or
vines is not necessary, and. is often pro
