_ 'A \ I V. •:' 4j A* HAKES Bff UUJGH Doctors Now Cause Friction in the War Department rrs WOOD vs. AINSWORTH Cm Service Had It* Trouble Over Medical Commander*--Surprising Prevalence of Opinion That Training lent Needed for Military Men. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washingtoo.--There is friction in the war department because of differ­ ences of opinion betweeu the t^o ranking officers of the army. Major Generals Leonard Wood and Fred C. Ainsworth, one the chlef-of-staff and the other adjutant general of the serv­ ice. Both of these men started out in 111% as doctors, and the trouble la spoken of as a case "when doctors disagree." In this Instance congress muFt decide, for the present difficulty arises from contrary views taken by the soldier doctors of a bill introduced by Representative Hay of Virginia making changes in the army system. The navy is now laughing at the •nny, because the navy itself had a row of somewhat similar nature, al­ though in the case of the sea service there was a doctor on only one side of it The trouble In the navy department was over the decision to allow a med­ ical officer to take command of a ship. Of course he won't attempt to navi­ gate the ship, but he will be captain supreme in everything. A* medical officer today, commands, under the president, the army of the United States. The army and navy are .sis­ ter services. Together they are hav lng visited upon them in a way the layman dictation. Think Training Not Needed. No civilian president, save Abraham Lincoln, perhaps, ever has thoroughly understood the necessity of training for army m^n and navy men. There is apparently an impression that cannot be erased from the civilian mind that the profession of arms is the only pro­ fession for which no education is nec cssai j. Naval officers and army offi cors in Washington today say that they constantly meet people who be­ lieve that any man of average intel­ ligence, good voice and sufficient physical strength can take command of an army or a fleet and by a sort of intuition lead them into battle as well as any general or admiral of the serv­ ice. This, of course, is putting it to the limit of exaggeration, but the main truth holds, and army experience and navy experience show It. that the or­ dinary civilian, whether he be presi­ dent of the United States or president of a sockmaklng factory, believes that the military man is born, not made, and that military education and ex­ perience, while possibly helpful, are not among the necessaries. The decision of the authorities to place the medical officer in command of a ship of the navy was parallel to the action of President McKinley In appointing a politician who didn't know the right flank from the left flank of his regiment, to command a body of men who within two months might be called upon to go on the field in the face of the enemy, there probably, though individually as brave as Ney, to meet with defeat because of the Ignorance of their commanding officer. In the Senate Storehouse. Every year Col. D. M. Rans- dell, the Bergeant-at-arms of the United States senate, is- compelled by law to send to the vice-president of the United States, who is the presld ing officer of the senate, a statement of the property belonging to the gov­ ernment which remains in his posses­ sion. The senate orders this state­ ment to be printed for distribution on request so that. If the country wishes, it may learn what property It owns and what It gives to the senators for their use during the hours or legis­ lating. After Colonel Ransdell has enumer­ ated the chairs and the tables in the various committee rooms and the pic­ tures on the wails and the carpets on the floors, he tells the vice-president that in the store house of the senate among other things are these articles: One lemon squeezer (large), one pound or snuff, one bottle or vaseline, one waah bowl, one tin box, eight bot­ tles cockroach paste, one poker, one bottle or tonic, rorty-eight bottles ot cologne, thirty cakes of violet soap, twenty-four cakes of white rose soap, three nail brushes, seventy-eight cus­ pidors and sixty-five funeraJ regalias.

His brother, Henry Adams, has a borne next to that or Mrs. John Hay. you will flnd de­ scendants of the second president or the United States all over the Union, and the smaller number or them bear Running Footmen. The Marquis of Queens berry, now in this country, who has declared his (advertising) purpose or becoming a citizen of the United States, Is only one of a line famous for their sport­ ing tendencies. The Duke of Queens- berry. who died in 1810, delighted In being the patron of running footmen, fostering that institution in its last days. A man came to be hired as a running footman by that ancient peer. His grace was in the habit of trying their paces by seeing how they could run up and down Piccadilly, London, timing them from his balcony. The runner could put on the duke's livery before the trial. One day a candidate presented himself, dressed and ran. At the finish he stood before the bal­ cony. "You will do very well for me," said the duke. "And your livery will do very well for me," replied the man, and gave the old duke a last proof of his ability as a raODei by running away with it. Kunnlng foot­ men on the continent, preceding the carriages or the nobility, continued to be an institution unUl about halt a century ago. the name of Adams. It to a proline family and it la a standing contradlo­ tion to the statement t*4t all of the New England families of great prom­ inence have died out Over in the "Whispering Gallery" at the capltol, which by the way Is nothing more nor less than the old house of representa­ tives. there Is a little piece of metal Bet in one of the square blocks of the marble flooring and on it are these words, "John Quincy Adams. Here." This Is the full Inscription. The metal piece marks the spot where Adams fell dead after years ot con­ tinued service In the boose. The value of .the piece of metal is a few cents. Over In Massachusetts avenue there Is the house of an enor­ mously wealthy man. He built It, and as a part of the building material ne used a rock containing many dollars' worth of gold. He gloried in It and It Is pointed out to Washington vis­ itors. They say that more people are interested in the millionaire's block or gold than are Interested In John Quin­ cy Adams' two inches of bronze. Ad­ ams, however, will be "alive" some centuries after this millionaire is for­ gotten. Latest Row In the House. Members of the house seeming­ ly were somewhat ashamed ot the outbreak of Representative Ben Johnson of Kentucky, chairman of the house committee on the District of Co­ lumbia, who the other day invited Representative Martin B. Madden of Chicago outside "to have it out." Johnson later apologized handsomely. Threats of personal encounters in the house are of much more frequent occurence than they are in the sen­ ate. Sometimes members actually reach the mixing point, but generally their colleagues interfere before blows are struck. The last near encounter was one between Henry D. Clayton of Alabama and Kepresenentatlve James R. Mann of Chicago, the house Republican leader. Mr. Mann was en­ tirely willing to go outside with the man who challenged him, and there to settle the matter, but there was inter­ ference and the temper of the ther­ mometer on both sides went down rap­ idly. rordney Versus Byrd. When the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill was under discussion in the house. Representative Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan, who is the chlefest stand­ patter of them all, resented with a good deal of bitterness certain assertions which were made by Representative Adam Byrd of Mississippi. Mr Byrd has Indian blood In his veins and it may be that the admixture was in part responsible for his readiness to go on the warpath. Fordney's direct word was "You don't know what you are talking about," and at this the Misslssiplan started down the aisle from his seat to pass around in front of the speak­ er's desk to reach Fordney. He did not walk; be ran, and in running he shed his coat, a fact which made hard­ er the attempts of his colleagues to stop him for their fingers slipped from his shirt sleeves easily while ho was rushing for his prey. Fordney stood absolutely Immova­ ble, but everybody knew he was ready. The two men were apparently phy­ sical equal**, but Fordney in his early life had been a lumber jack and be was in trim that day as he is in trim today. Friends managed to grab Byrd Just before the threatened mixing. John Sharp Williams, now United States senator, had a physical encoun­ ter in the house with u Missouri repre­ sentative who is now dead. The MIs- sourian was ond of the gravest as he was om of the most learned men in the house of representatives. He was the last man in the house from whom belligerent manifestations might have been expected. He was one of the leaders <>•. Democracy himself, but Williams was the leader and the two had fallen out over a matter, If mem­ ory is correct, of a committee appoint­ ment The Mlssouriar and the Mls- sissipiai. exchanged blows and each was hurt to some extent, but friends were able to separate them. Few Encounters In Senate. In the senate the members rarely come to blows. Of course, the senate is a smaller body than the house, but the average of rows in the senate is not up to the average of row lr the bouse. It is sa'd that Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Bailey had an interchange of something more than words once in an executive session *vhen the doors were closed and no one but senators were present The full story of this en­ counter never was told. Bailey Is eas­ ily angered despite his big eyes and his generally babe-like expression. Senators are not in the habit of calling one another liars. When any­ body is called a liar in the senate it is usually the man w'. o sits up in the gallery In the capacity of a correspond­ ent The Jupior senator from Texas from his seat on the senate twice has called newspaper men liars. One stripling correspondent, a North Caro­ lina. boy, met Mr. Bailey in the cor­ ridor a few hours after the lie bad been given and proceeded to say a tew things to the statesman. They had a fight in which an umbrella was smash­ ed but neither combatant was Injured materially. Where Was George? Prof. Harry Thurston Peck Is a foe to the hide-bound and pedantic gram­ marian--the type that declares "To­ morrow is Monday" is wrong, the right version being: "Tomorrow will be Monday." Professor Peck rebuked the hide­ bound grammarian, at a studio tea in New York, with a story. "A lady." he said, "had a rather dis­ sipated husband, and one evening she said to a friend: "'I wish I knew where George was!' "The friend, a professor's wife, said primly: "'I presume, dear, you mean you wish you knew where he Isr " 'No, I don't,* said the lady. *1 £now where he Is. He is upstairs In bed with bloodshot eyes and a terrific headache. I want to know where he was!'" Away Up. Biggs--Are you thinking of getting a divorce? Diggs--Not at the present rates of alimony. ALFALFA GROWING AND ITS GREAT IMPORTANCE TO ILLINOIS FARMERS Illinois Alfalfa tjtrowersr Association. Seated, left to ri^ht: A. N. Abbott. Morrison; Mr. Stewart, twy H. A. McKsene, Sprinjffleld; President A. P. Orout, Spring Grove; F. I. Mann. Gilman. Inchester; Sec re- Winchester; F. L. Hatch. By A. P. GROUT, President Alfalfa Grower*' Aes*n. It is impossible In a short article like this to discuss Qiany things per­ taining to agriculture, but I do de­ sire to call the attention of my read­ ers to a movement which 1 believe to be of great Importance, and which, 11 developed to the extent that It may be, will add more to the wealth of Il­ linois than any other one thing that can be done. Concerning it ex-Qov- ernor Hoard of Wisconsin says: "The alfalfa movement Is the most impor­ tant agricultural event of the cen­ tury." Concerning alfalfa and its signifi­ cance to Kansas, where the latest re­ ports show in round numbers 1,000,- 000 acres In cultivation, and more than all other tame grasses com­ bined, a prominent gentleman of that state says: "Were 1 called upon to say what single product of the soil would probably assume the greatest importance in our state in the near future, I would say, 'alfaira.' As Beecher said about the strawberries, doubtless. God could make a better torage plant than altalfa, but In my opinion he never has. As a forage plant for general use, so far as I know. It has no equal. This may be said not only In regard to the ease with which it can be grown, its hard­ iness under trying circumstances, its productiveness. Its power of improv­ ing the soil, but as well In regard to its excellence as a feed for all kinds of farm animals and especially Its value In fattening cattle and hogs for market. It is as near a perfect for­ age plant as it is possible to obtain." It has bee^ successfully grown and fed In every part of Illinois, as well as the United States, and with the greatest of satisfaction. Almost every, thing possible has been said and writ­ ten in its praise and of its great value as a forage plant, yet not one farmer In av thousand in Illinois Is growing It or giving it a thought. After I have given you my own ex­ perience and that of many other re­ liable growers, I will let you answer the question why more farmers in Il­ linois do not grow alfalfa. I first saw alfalfa growing in the valleys of Wyo­ ming And Utah in 1882. 1 knew very little of the plant or its value at that time, but the beautiful dark green al­ falfa meadows of that dry and arid country were delightfully refreshing and pleasing to the eye. Later on, about twenty years ago, I tried the experiment of growing It In Illinois. GRAIN SMUTS AND THEIR TREATMENT By E. M. M'DONALD, University of Illinois. The loose smut of wheat, loose smut of oats and stinking smut, or bunt, of wheat are all fungous diseases of the crops upon which they grow. The loose smut of wheat ripens at about the flowering time of the unin­ fected heads, and is composed of a loose, dusty masB of spores, or re­ productive bodies, together with the mass of fungous threads within the plant. Both the grain and chaff are affected. The spores are widely dis­ tributed by the wind and by handling during harvest. According to recent investigations it appears that Infection may take place in uninfected heads during the flowering period. The fung­ ous growth resulting from such Infec­ tion retains Its vitality within the seed of the wheat and resumes Its growth with the germination of the grain. This growth continues through­ out the development of the wheat plant and reaches its fruiting, or spore ripening stage, as indicated above. The loose smut of oats, like the loose smut of wheat, ripens at about the ordinary flowering time of the grain. Infection follows the germina­ tion of the conidia spores at the time of germination of the seed oats. The conidia spores are produced from spores carried on the seed grain. In­ fection may also take place by the dis­ tribution of spores at the blossoming time of the uninfected plants. The stinking smut of wheat, or bunt, as it is commonly called, differs from loose smut of wheat in that the kern­ els of grain, instead of being replaced by a loose mass of spores, remain en­ tire and are larger and more irregu­ lar In shape than the healthy kernels. These smutted kernels are filled with a mass of dark brown spores and are easily broken In the processes of harvesting and threshing. The smutted grain emits a disagreeable and char- No Cruelty Allowed. 1 A Boston contemporary announces the engagement of the son of Dr Francis H.

Angelina Spineiiu, organist of St. Michael's Catholic church, New Hav­ en, Conn., is said to be the youngest organist in the world. She is 10 years Mf ace and a wonderful future is pro­ moted for bar. I sewed about two acres and secured a fair stand and grew a fairly good crop for four or five years. I was almost entirely Ignorant as to the proper care and management of it, and after a time the blue grasses and other grasses crowded It oat and I plowed it up, but immediately re- seeded the same ground. I again se­ cured a fair stand, but soon discovered that that part of the field which had first been seeded to alfalta did much better than the newly seeded pftrt It was about this time that I began to read about alfalfa bacteria and the necessity of applying inoculated soil or the soli from an old field where al­ falfa had been grown. I found that the Illinois experiment station of the Uni­ versity of Illinois was experimenting in the growing of alfalfa and that In­ oculated soil had been brought from Kansas for use In the experiment. 1 Immediately secured a few hundred pounds for use on my own field. The effect was almost magical. In the meantime it was discovered that when the plant reached a certain stage of development it shotild be cu£» and If the cutting was delayed It was very detrimental to the future growing of the plant. Then the neces­ sity of cultivating the growing fields of alfalfa became known, in order to prevent the growth of blue grass and other grasses and weeds. At first It was not an easy matter to get this done. Repeated Instructions to the men on the farm to disk and harrow would result in such light work that It was almost lmppsslble to detect where the disk or harrow had been used on the field. Almost In desperation I determined to superintend the job myself. I sent the disk to the field and followed In the road wagon and watched the work. At first the disks were run so straight that they barely made a mark on the ground. I instructed the driver to push the lever up a notch, and then another and another until there were no more notches, and 1 pretty ne&rly bad a mutiny on my hands. I was Informed by the driver that no man could do that kind of work for him, but when I suggested that It was my alfalfa and that 1 would stand the loss he reluctantly consent­ ed to go ahead. The result was wonderful. The next crops were better and more thrifty than ever. It was a case where men have to be shown and where they cannot be made to believe without demonstration. asterlstlc odor from which the name "stinking smut" Is derived. As in the case of loose smut of oats. Infection takes place from spores sown with the seed. The fungus grows within the wheat plant through­ out the winter and spring. The loose smut of oats and stinking smut of wheat may be controlled by the formalin treatment Formalin Is the name given to the commercial 40 per cent solution of formaldehyde. Formalin used at the rate of one pound to 40 or 50 gallons of water Is sufficient to kill the smut spores. The solution may be applied by sprinkling or by dipping. If the grain is to be sprinkled, it should be spread out on a tight floor or on a canvas and moist* ened with the solution. The moisture should be retained on the grsin for about two hours. This may be done by shoveling it into a pile and cover­ ing it with canvas or burlap. This formalin treatment is fully as effective as the hot water treatment and is much more easily applied. It will not however, kill the fungous growth within wheat kernels Infected with loose smut. For loose smut of wheat the hot wa­ ter treatment is recommended. The grain should be soaked in cold water for four hours, allowed to remain wet four hours more, and finally dipped for five minutes, but not longer, in water at 132 degrees Fahrenheit This treat­ ment will probably injure the vitality of the wheat and Is used most often for small fields from which clean seed may be harvested the following year. About one-half more seed should be allowed because of the loss In vitality. There seems to be no necessity whatsoever for the burning of straw or stubble from smutted grain fields, as the Infection, after harvest time. Is carried on almost entirely on, and in the seed grain. Additional precaution may be taken by disinfecting the bins, sacks, and seeder with the formalin solution. For dipping the seed, about one gallon .of the solution per bushel of grain will be needed. For sprin­ kling. a somewhat larger quantity will be required. Well Described.
