50 YEARS’
EXPERIENCE
Collier’s Weekly.
On the walk of the War Room
are all the latest maps from the
Coast and Geodedic Surv ey, the
Hydrographic Office and the Land
Office, and some that were made
especially for the President’s con
venieDce. There are military
maps of Cnba,the Philppines,Porto
Rico, and all other points, arrang
ed in sections on the wall in such
a manner as to place before the
eyes of the President at one glance
the entire expanse of the globe.
On these maps are marked the dis
tances from one point to another;
the cable lines, the sailing routes,
the time needed to cover them, the
places where the ships of the
enemy and of the blockading squad
ron are located from time to time,
and every possible sort of informa
tion that could be needed daring a
consultation on the war problem
The most unique of the series of
charts are those showing the loca
tion of the Spanish and American
warships, so arranged that they
can be changed each hour or min
ute of the day as the. telegraph may
report the movements on the chess
board of the war. Among other
conveniences designed for the
President there are two boards cov
ered with sheets of paper on which
are written alphabetically the
name of every ship in both navies.
Stuck into a little hole in the space
containing the name there is a pin,
on the end of which there is a flag
bearing the corresponding name of
the ship. These flag-pins are used
for indicating on the map the pla
ces where the ships may be from
time to time; the American flags
being blue and those of Spain red.
There is an interesting little cor
ner on one of the boards, separa
ted by a broad black line, inside
of which there is a group of red
flags huddlod together. This coi’-
ner is labeled “the dead line,” and
the flags are those that, before the
1st of May, represented the Span
ish ships which on that day were
destroyed by the fleet of Admiral
Dewey.
In the left-hand corner of the
room, near the entrance from the
corridor, is Secretary Porter’s desk,
where he is at work daring maDy
hours of the day and night; and
beyond him, nearer the middle of
the room, is the desk of Captain
Benjamin F. Montgomery, of the
Signal Corps, United States Army,
who, for several years, has acted
as telegraphic manager of the
White House. At the left of his
desk, in the corner, there is a wood
en case through which pass fif
teen special, long-distance tele
phone wires, and in the opposite
corner a cable containing twenty
special telegraphic wires, all of
which come together at the desk
and make it possible for him,
without moving outside a radius of
ten feet to have direct communica
tion through the telephone with
every department of the govern
ment at Washington, including the
Capitol, on wires which are con
nected with the White Hoase
Oar Washington Correspondence.
When the civil war broke out our
navy was comparatively small, bnt
the Government immediately de
voted its energies to the building
of new ships and in four years
there were on the naval register
more than one thousand ships of
all kinds. At the close of the war
our navy was more powerful than
that of England.
The fight between the Monitor
and Merrimac, however, had ren
dered wooden ships obsolete, and
while nothing was done for years
towards creating a navy of iron or
steel ships by this country, all of
theEaropern countries built them
in great numbers and our navy
frombeing the most powerful in
the world became in a few years
one of the weakest.
In 1883 Congress authorized the
construction of the first modem
steel cruiser, and when the Maine
was blown up in Havana harbor
the “New Navy” had about one
hundred ships, built or building,
incuding all grades from the mou
star heavy armored battle ship,
which conld have sunk the entire
navy of the civil war, down to the
long sharp torpedo boat.
Daring the first six months of the
present year the navy has had an
other sudden growth by the crea
tion of what has been called the
“auxiliary navy.” This now com
prises of 114 ships, nearly all of
which have been equipped as
fighting vessles. In the auxiliary
are included the 15 vessels of the
revenue service, 4 light house ten
deas, 2 fish commission boats and
3 hospital boats. All the extra
boats acquired excepting the four
magnificen Atlantic Liners have
been purchased outright.
On the list of the ships of the
regular Navy are 11 first class, 18
second class, 43 third class,
fourth class warships, and 35 tor
pedo boats in addition to tugs, re
ceiviug ships, sailing ships, etc.
There are now building or au
thorized by Congress 33 warships
and about as many torpedo boats
The largest battle ships are
named for the States, the cruis
ers for the cities, and the torpe
do boats for the naval heroes,
In the anxilerary navy certain
classes of ships are named after
Indian trides and others after the
stinging insects.
The Sumeen ram, the Holland
submarine boat and the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius are unique to
our navy, no other country having
similar instruments of war. The
Vesuvious has been looked upon
by naval experts of all nations as
of doubtful utility, but within the
last month she has with her long
“blow pipes” or pneumatic tubes
successfully thrown some twenty
shells each charged with from 200
to 500 pounds of dynamite. When
these shells exploded the people
living iu Santiago, three or four
miles away, thought they were hav
ing an earth quake. The yankee
inventor has introduced to the
world the Ironclad, the tnrreted
.monitor, the range finder, the
alone, and over the telegraph and breech loading cannon, the auto-

Replies to Questions.
Question.—I would like to know
something more about vetches. Some
time ago I read yonr article on this sub
ject, and-as I wish to experiment a lit
tle on this line I-write to ask if it is
advisable to sow now, or would it be
best 'to wait until fall? If we can get a
certain crop that will give ns green food
in the late winter and early spring one
difficulty that the farmer has to con
tend against will be overcome, and if
this can be done with a nitrogen gath
ering crop, which will at the same time
benefit the land, farming at the south
will have made a long step forward.
Answer. — In the southern states
vetches should he sown in the late sum
mer or early fall. The hairy vetch is
preferred for our climate and should be
sown from the middle of August to the
middle of September, according to sea
sons. Spring vetches seem more par
ticularly suited to northern latitudes,
indeed, have proved a signal failure in
our climate. Hairy vetch will stand a
good amount of cold and drouth, but it
does not like a damp soil—any excess of
water is very injurious to it and it
seems to pretfer a sandy soil. At
the Mississippi Experiment Station
heavy annual crops have been realized
from a peice of land sown in 1888, which
has never been reseeded. Stock is
taken off and cuttings cease in March,
the plants mature and scatter their seed
over the ground, which begin to germi
nate with the first fall rains. If the
crop is intended to ho cut for forage and
is sown broadcast, about a bushel- of
winter oats, or rye or wheat should bo
sown at the same time. These will’
furnish a support for the vines and pre
vent them from trailing on the ground.
The difficulty of cutting the crop prop
erly will thus be obviated. When cu.
for hay the plants should he in full bloom.
The kidney vetch is another variety,
which is recommended for poor, thin cal
careous cr very sandy soils, which will
not support clovers or better forage crops,
hut from the result of experiments with
li it cannot be recommended as of much
value. The hairy vetch, however, has
a high indorsement. Stock are very
fond of it. It has a high feeding value.
It may he cured for hay, or pastured,
and is a most excellent plant for soiling.
When once fairly established it with
stands drouths and extremes of temper
ature. Most of the seed ore imported
from Europe and as yet are high priced,
which is the chief present difficulty in
the way of its general introduction. Its
cultivation is, however, increasing, and
we hope to see the day when the much
needed green crop, to fill up the hiatus
between late winter and early spring,
will be found in the vetohes of which
so little is now generally known. We
would like to know the result of your
experience if you decide to try the ex
periment this fall.—State Agricultural
Department.
Sorghum as a Forage Plant.
Question.—Is sorghum a good plant
for feeding green, and for making hay ?
If so what variety would you recom
mend, and how to plant and save ?
Answer.—Sorghum is a most excel
lent forage plant to feed either green or
to save as hay^ It does best on rich,
loamy soils, but will do well
on any soil that will produce fair crops
of corn or cotton. Prepare the land
well, and bed as you would for cotton
in 3% feet rows, using from 300 to 400
pounds of a complete fertilizer. About
cotton planting time open a shallow fur
row and drill the seed—from a half
bushel to three pecks to the acre. Cul
tivate shallow and often. When grown
for forage it is not necessary to thin
out, though thinning is very essential
when the sorghum is grown for syrup
making. ._The “Early Amber” and
“Minnesota Early Amber” are excellent
varieties, as are also the “Early Orange”
and “Kansas Orange.”
Sorghum will do better on thin soils,
and will stand drouth better than com.
For making hay, cut soon after it begins
to bloom and put up in small* shocks
until cured. For feeding green, cutting
should be begun as soon as the plants
begin to form beads. Stir the ground
with a cultivator or plow immediately
after harvesting a crop, and the sorghum
Will continue to grow and make a
second and third cutting. Feed bnt
little at first, increasing the amount
day by day, until the stock become ac
customed to it. — State Agricultural
Department.
About Subsolllng.
Question.—Is it not injurious to land
to subsoil at this season? I am a young
farmer, but I have always beard that it
was dangerous to bring the clay to the
surface after the late fall or early
winter.
Answer.—You are under a misappre
hension as to the meaning of subsoil
ing. This is not a turning of the clay
to the surface, but it is the breaking up
of the subsoil at the bottom of the fur
row, and leaving it there. This may be
done by following, in the bottom of the
furrow, which is made by an ordinary
plow, with a long narrow “scooter,” or
a “bull tongue.” Or it may be accom
plished with one furrow, made by a
subsoil plow, constructed especially for
this purpose. In either case it is simply
breaking up the lower soil, which is
not reached by an ordinary plow. This
plan will expose it to the action of the
air, will drain it of surplus water or
make it more retentive of necessary
moisture, and by thus increasing its
porosity or powers of absorption will
not only regulate the moisture for the
use of crops, but will bring into service
its heretofore locked up and insoluble
elements of plant food.—State Agri-
cultural Department.
Bean Bust.
Question.—Last year my beans were
attacked by a disease, whioh my neigh
bors caUed-bean rnst. When I discov
ered the trouble it was too late to pre
vent the damage. It seemed to be more
on the pods than anywhere else, al
though a large per cent of the leaves
eventually became affected. The little
round spots first appeared on the pods
when about half grown and the pods
turned dark and seemed to shrink up
around those spots. Sometimes they
were pink and again red. If there is
any way of preventing this I want to
begin in time this year. What is the
disease, and is there any remedy?
Answer.—The disease whioh you de
scribe is anthracnose, and the best pro
ventive after the beans are planted is
Bordeaux mixture,with which the plants
should be sprayed. Bnt a better pre
ventive still is to plant only bright
plump seed. As the disease lives in the
seed from one season to another, all
seed shonld be carefully examined and
only the perfectly sound ones used. All
which are shriveled or imperfect shonld
be rejected.—State Agricultural Depart
ment.
Handling Late Potatoes.
Those who have rather late ground
on which potatoes are to be planted will
find it worth while to sprout the seed
now. Merely set them in a warm,
light place and l6t them send out shoots
about 3 inches long. As soon as the
ground can be worked plant the pota
toes, handling them carefully, so as not
to break off the shoots, allowing one
sprout to each piece of seed. In this
way potatoes can be raised on late land
as soon as on early land by the ordinary
method.—Exchange.
Chemical Weed Destroyer.
Professor Shntt of the experiment
farms at Ottawa, Canada, recommends
the following very simple compound for
destroying weeds and grass: Two
pounds of sulphate of copper, or blue
vitriol, and 6 gallons of hot water.' Dis
solve and apply as a spray, or through
an ordinary sprinkling pot.

Senator Hoar says that his father
charged Sanford Adams, the Con
cord pump-maker, five dollars for a
little legal advice that he had asked
for, and as Adams was leaving said
to him: “By the way, there is a lit
tle trouble with my pump. It does
not seem to draw water. Will you
just look at it?” So Mr. Adams went
around the corner of the shed, moved
the handle of the pump and put his
hand down and fixed a little spigot
which was in the side which had
got loose, and the pump worke
perfectly. Judge Hoar said, “Thank
you, sir,” To which Adams replied
“It will be $5, Mi - . Hoar,” and the
Judge gave him back the same bill

A womans account of torture which lasted three
years; of her struggles against the dreadful disease,
and the good fortune that crowned her efforts.
Such suffering as rheumatism causes the
victims upon whom it fastens itself is al
most unendurable.
Sufferers from the worst types of this ter
rible will supply the missing hor
rors in the following story from real life.
Those who writhe under milder, forms
of rheumatism will be able to imagine the
feelings of the tortured victim.
The only justification for making public
such heart-rending details is the fact that
the lesson taught will be helpful to others,
pointing the way to renewed file and health
to every sufferer from rheumatism.
The story is told by a woman. Her
name is Mrs. Caleb Fenly; she fives in
St. Paul, Ind.
This is her account:
“I am a farmer’s wife. I believe my
frequent exposure to the weather caused
my terrible’#ttack of rheumatism. Damp
weather always aggravated!!.
“My limbs would begin to swell at the
an&lejoints.
“ This swelling would begin in the night,
at times. I would awake in agony.
“Daylight would find my limbs purple
in color, swollen to twice their natural size,
and so racked with pain I could not bear
to touch them.
“My right arm and both legs were so
drawn as to be almost useless.
“My skin became dry and yellow.
“At times my limbs would pain as
though millions of needles were pricking
them.
“Again they would be numb and I
could not feel a needle thrust into my flesh.
“I was confined to the house three
years, unable to walk nearly half the time.
“After those three slow years of agony,
during which I spent probably $2,000 few
treatment and tried a dozen doctors, I gave
up hope of any release from pain, but death.
“I was cured, completely-cured, by Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They
alone caused my recovery.
“ The first dose gave me appetite.
“After the second dose I dept soundly,
the first time within a year.
“I sent for a dozen boxes. By the time
I had taken the contents of eleven boxes I
felt entirely welL
“The doctor said I was cured. He was
greatly impressed, and since then he has
prescribed Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People for many of his patients.”
Mrs. Fenly, together with her husband,
made affidavit to the exact truth of the fore
going account before Notary P. N.Thomas.
The cure of the severest cases of rheu
matism by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People fras occurred in every state in
the Union, and its power in ordinary cases
is proportionately greater.
These marvelous vegetable pills go di
rectly to the seat of the trouble. They
build up a new cellular structure in the
diseased parts by eliminating poisonous
elements and renewing health-giving
chemical forces in the blood.
They are for sale by druggists every
