Pine Lumber Output Decrease*.
Chicago, Jan. 19.—The American
Lumberman in its issue to-day prints
unarticle on the decline of the pine
lumber product of mills in the north
west. The total number of feet cut
in 1900 was 5.4*5,261.000, against 6,-
056,000.000 in 1899. Commenting upon
the situation the Lumberman says:
•During the last two years there has
been every inducement for the mills
lo turn out a heavy product and yet
there was a slight falling off in 1899
as compared with 1898, and a heavy
decrease in 1900. Kvery resource
was strained to make a heavy output,
but without result, except to prove
that the closing years of ihe white
pine industry of the northwest are
et liand."

Washington, Jan. 19. —Just before
ti o'clock last evening the senate final
ly disposed of the army reorganiza
tion bill. The measure having orig
inated in the senate, the final ques
tion was not upon its passage, but
upon agreeing to the senate amend
ments. They were agreed to by a
vote of 43 to 23. While party lines
were drawn on the measure, four
democrats voted for it—Senators
Lindsay, of Kentucky; McLaurin, of
South Carolina; Morgan, of Alabama,
and Sullivan, of Mississippi.
The bill has occupied practically
the entire attention of the senate
since January 3, when it was made
the unfinished business. While the
opposition to it at all stages was
vigorous, it never was bitter. Nu
merous'amendments were made to it,
but in general the committee was
sustained and the measure, with the
exception of the elimination of the
canteen clause, is not widely differ
ent from that reported to the sen
ate.
A determined effort was made yes
terday to amend the bill so as to pro
vide against the sale of liquor in the
Philippines and to prohibit the im
portation of any kind of intoxicants
into the islands, but it was defeated.
A notable speech was delivered by
Mr. Hale, of Maine, who, while oppos
ing the increase in the strength of
the army, stated his reasons for sup
porting the bill.
Every effort to prevent the in
crease in the strength of the army
was defeated by a decisive majority.
As the lii 11 originated in the senate
it now will go directly to the confer
ence committees appointed by the
two branches of congress.

day on the bill to refer to the court
of claims the claims of the Cramp
Shipbuilding Co.. of Philadelphia, for
alleged damages due to the delay of
the government for furnishing armor
plate and material for the battleships
Massachusetts and Indiana and the
cruisers New York and Columbia.
The claims aggrog.itt $1,367,244. The
bill has been conspicuous at every
session of congress for several years.
It met with the strenuous opposition
of a portion of the minority and the
house adjourned without passing it.

As near as I can remember. there
has been a hydraulic rain on this farm
for years. The first ram putin was
used to force water to a watering
trough in front of the buildings and
also through a pipe leading to the
kitchen of the main house. For the
past 10 years, the time we have lived
here, it has been greatly changed and
we have furnished water to every
building on the place. Waler is sup
plied on every floor, including bath
room, water closet, etc. The tank in
the attic holds 000 gallons. The pres

ry the water anywhere needed. The
sketch shows the arrangement of the
6jstem.
About six or seven years ago, during
a very dry spell, the water in tlie
reservoir became very low and the
old ram afforded us considerable an
noyance on account of there being
only one stroke, which necessitated as
much supply water at one time as an
other. therefore we had to keep the
ram turned off until the water was
needed in some of the buildings.
About that time at the county fair, I
happened to see another hydraulic ram
which looked so simple, and having a
governor to regulate the strokes in
pumping, which means everything
when the reservoir is getting low, that
I purchased one and placed it in posi
tion and have had no trouble since.
On one occasion in particular its use
fulness was very prominent. A fire
originated in the bottle department
of my dairy, between the inner and
outer sidings, which was impossible to
reach without the use of a thrown
stream, but by breaking a little of the
outer siding and inserting the nozzle
of the hose the fire was overcome in a
very short time, thus saving every
building on the place, which otherwise
would have surely burned.—T. W.
Stewart, in Farm and Home.
PLANT MORE TREES.
Sections Where Timber In Scarce
Suffer More from Ilrouiclit Tliun
Wooded Region*.
More even distribution of the for
est growth over farming sections ia
needed, for as it now is the forest
growth in mountains and other sec
tions is unfit for agricultural pur
poses. The sections best adapted to
farming are largely void of trees. In
time of drought the sections which
suffer most severely are those wheTe
timber is most scarce. Southern In
diana, which has been cleared too
much, years ago when there was still
much timber standing, produced far
better crops than now. Rains were
then much better distributed through
the growing season and showers were
frequent and mild, but now rain too
often falls in heavy, sudden down
pours, often doing damage to growing
crops. These severe rains are usual
ly followed by hard winds that soon
dry the moisture from the land in
the growing season, and in winter
the wind having uninterrupted sweep
drifts the snow in great banks along
fences and leaves wheat fields bare.
We cannot undo the harm done by
too excessive clearing, but one can
improve matters by planting trees in
shelter belts on the south and west
sides of our farms. For a perpetual
wind-break, the Norway spruce un
doubtedly leads. A good shelter belt
should contain four rows of spruce,
ten feet between rows and trees five
feet apart in the rows, and the trees
placed so as to break the spaces be
tween rows. Spruce seedlings can be
got from nurseries when about ten
inches high for about three dollars per
hundred. He very careful in moving
evergreens not to let the roots get
dry, as this means certain death to
the tree. —Robert Killins, in Farm
and Home.
Deep Planting; of Tree*.
It is the general experience that
deep planting is harmful and con
trary to nature. Trees that are
planted deeper than they stood in
the nursery row will make vigorous
growth for a few years, as the wood
covered will send out roots, but the
old roots make no growth, finally de
cay, and sometimes cause the whole
tree to die. W'e consider it very im
portant that trees should not be
planted deeper than they stood in the
nursery row. Ia planting straight
sticks, by the Springfellow method,
with the lateral roots all taken off,
the trees may be set several inches
deeper than they stood in the n'jr

WITHOUT THE FRILLS.
Report of a Churrli YVrd<lln«c by an
Editor \\ ho DUcnuiilcnaiicti
Frippery.
An editor who was thoroughly tired of
the foolishness that, goes on at a church
wedding finally got even as follows, aaya
the Atchison Globe mac: "They were
married in great style. All the elite of tha
town were invited, principally because it
wm thought that they would be more likely
to bring elegant presents for the bride.
"Of course, the ceremony took place in
the church, and the church was most beau
tifully decorated for the occasion. Totted
plants wer? borrowed here and there,
wherever ihey could be secured without
making the owner mad enough to fight.
"The bride's young lady friends had thfr
decorations in charge, and when they were
not making nosegays they were chewing the<
rag alniut the trouble and work, and wish
ing that the bride had sense enough to get
up her own wedding. The ushers wore,
claw-hammer coats, parted their hair in
the middle and stepped high when they
walked down the> aisle. The coats were
hired from a costumer. and their white
gloves came from an undertaker's, who kept
them on hand for funeral occasions.
"Jt was a ring ceremony. The ring was a
monstrous gold band borrowed of the vil
lage jeweler. People called the bride love
ly, but she was so homely that hollyhocks
wouldn't grow in the dooryard where she
lived. The bridegroom was dressed in con
ventional black, so called because his father
once wore the coat to a democratic con
vention. The presents were simply ele
gant. They came from people who couldn't
afford to hire the washing done or buy
baker's bread. Then after a "sumptuous
supper' the bride and groom went
tc. ?. Louis on their wedding tour, where
they spent more money in 24 hours 1 than
both of them can earn in a month."

Industrial Competition.
To the disappointments of war
time, which are keenly felt when the
( hirstmas season is approaching and
oxer 210.000 soldiers are lighting
across seas, is added the increasing
pressure of taxation and industrial
competition. The trade journals of
Kngland arc making a great ado over
the succes* of American manufactur
ers in underbidding their British
rivals in tenders for the Urganda
railway bridges.
This industrial incident has created
a strong impression, since it indi
cates that the expansion of the Brit
ish empire and the opening of new
markets • tend to promote American
industries.
British iron and steel manufactur
ers are warned by their own trade
journals that they must arouse them
selves without delay, unless they are
prepared *o lose their foreign mar
kets, since it has become notorious
that Americans and Germans are
making their competition'felt with
cumulative effect.
