DECORATION DAY.

On Monday last was the most sensible
celebration of Decoration Day ever wit
messed in this city. There was no at
tempt ut show, and the very simplicity
of the whole affair made it imposing and
gave it solemnity. The procession was
an unusually large one, the number OF
old veterans in line being greater than
at any former celebration of the day at
this place. The speeches on the ooca-
sion were unusually good. 1t was Mayor
Rahr's maiden effort and his deliberate
delivery and clear tones were those of
practiced orator.
Mr.. Emil Baensch has enjoyed some
reputation as a public speaker; but those
who spoke most highly of his ability in
this direction were not prepared for his
splendid success on Monday. 1t was
thoughtful, temperate and genuinely
patriotic address and received the APP
plause it fully merited. Of the speech
of Rev. Mr.. Fetzner The Pilot is unable
to speak except on information. L." 1t is
said to have been good effort. Monday
last was decoration day in its proper
sense. 1t was well calculated to popular
ize the day and make it respected.

AUGUST BUTTER

We are often told that June and
July butter is prime when August
butter fails; then it grows better
in September, and so on. Why is
June and July butter better than
August butter? Because the COWS
have gone out in the fresh field and
have had pure grass IN abundance.
The flow of milk is increased, and
we readily churn butter from it in
about one-halt the time in July
that is required in the winter time
or IN other seasons. This is be-
cause of the June grass. The last
of July the feed begins to fail. June
grass has become too ripe, and
something else not so good must
take its place. The dairyman
should have a crop of winter rye
and feed that with his corn-meal,
and csrry it through the month of
August.
Cows fail in milk moro in the
month of August than in any other
part of the season. In the month
OfSeptember the cattle are allowed
10 sweep over the meadows and
around the corners of the fences
where the moving machine did not
reach. The remedy Is to feed corn
meal during the month Of August.
1t would cost n srifie over one cent
per pound for feed and extra
trouble, but the butter yield would
be kept up. If the rye gets too
ripe before August, have a crop of
clover for the cattle. When the
rye gets nicely started, cut it with
a moving machine, and second
crop will soon be ready.

THE SOUTHERN VOLUNTEER.

In confederate memorial day
speech on "The Southern Volun-
tcer," at Baltimore, Monday even
ing last, Major II. Kyd Dallas,
among other things, said: "What
was the comparative ability of the
commanding officers? We had
great generals, but they were not
greater than their commands. |
believe the people of the north
sat in stcrncr judgement upon
their generals than did the people
of the south. There was a strong
or personal affection between the
troops OF the latter and their
generals. JackSon's treatment Of
his soldiers while he was alive Of
ten controlled his soldiers after he
was dead. An incident is related
of the time just following his death
showing the effect of his example.
A soldier approached apickct pro-
duced a pass which had been sign
cd by StoncwaII Jackson. The
guard looked at it for 4 moment
and said: That would pass you
to heaven, but not past this post"

KEEP DOWN THE WEEDS.

This is the day and this is the
hour. The conflict is irrepressible.
1t will probably never end. And
yet each farmer and gardener can
wage the war so close that victory
will be easy. Weeds are most easily
killed when small-the smaller the
better. But all cultivators of the
soil should have one rule, which
should never be violated: Never
allow q weed to go to seed on the
premises. Frequently an idle patch
OF ground, ifIt be only one-tourth
of an acre, will raise enough to
seed the whole farm, and have
enough left 10 supply the neigh
bors. Keep all of the ground in
use, either IN grass, or under close
cultivation. There is many farm
er this year who has foul fields,
caused by leasing il TO 4 careless
and sloyenly renter. Or more pro-
badly, he is sloYen himself, and
his farm has been growing more
foul for several years, until no nor
any one else can raise paying crops.
1t must be redeemed, or the owner
will 90 to insolvency, and the land
become worthless-eaten up and
poisoned by weeds. The farmers
prosperity depends upon his con-
slant war upon weeds, and never
let any go 10 seed.

A BLACK MANS COUNTRY.

1t is only too certain that the
omigrant is not wanted in the Cape
Colony, says a correspondent of
The London Telegraph. 1t is the
country of the black man-of that
scornet of clothes, the noble saw
age. White labor languIshes; en-
ergy fails at the moment prospects
open. The Boer, the most adhes-
i've of mortaIs, rests contented with
u squalid home and prospect OF
untitled acres more extensive than
his eye can survey. The true CO.
lonlal instinct is wanting-that
understandable intellectual capacity
of taking root where the foot falls.
Ambition here seems to impel a
man no further than q desire to
obtain money enough to enable
HIM, whether he be an Englishman
or a German, to retArn home, and
stop there A prosperity may
arise that will be as the vine bush
is, or the gum treo-a pure growth
OF South African soil, but with
antecedents with a beginning in
white hands. But down to the
present moment the systems are
not those of colonization such as
created a great republic across the
western ocean such as has bullded
an empire of cities and populous
towns IN the distant Pacific. | say
it is a pity; for you cannot think
of the mighty tracts of green and
beautiful country stretching in
mountains and valleys and plains
TO the equatorial ATTITUDES and of
the dreadful poverty you see and
hear of and read about in London
and throughout Great Britain and
Ireland without deep regret that
the land should be universally de-
clared' to offer no opportunities to
those in need of bread.

Farm and Home.


N@Nf - - 49, NA-s--s
Prairie Farmer.
No other thing on the farm so
thoroughly marks the progress of
agriculture as the rapidly increas-
ing use OF red clover. Tie two
fold benefits Of clover are so OBJ.
vIOusly manifest TO every farmer
that the increase in its use is not
surprising. Its wonderful yield
as forage crop makes it one of
the most desirable 10 raise, whete-
er 10 be fed green or cured in the
shape of rowen. So rapidly docs
it grow that 1t is no uncommon
thing to cut three crops during
single season; and no farmer ever
expects to cut less than two crops.
Should the farmer choose to turn
the stock on the field, it seems al
most to replace the days picking
by It's growth at night. The better
way is to cut and feed 1t in the
rack, and a given amount of ground
will feed fully twice as many critic
as whom allowed to roam over it.
A very important value of clo-
yer consists, however, in its great
efficiency as means of recuper-
ating the land, and here is the main
evidence that its increased use
shows an advanced stage IN the
scsenoe of agriculture. First, the
use of a fertilizer of any kind is a
confession that the land is not as
good as it is in the power of man
TO make; and, next, the use of
clover as a means of enrichIDg the
ground shows that farmers are
studying economic management OF
their lands.
1t is claimed by some that no
farmer can afford to pillow under a
good crop of clover as a fertilizer,
but that 1t should be fed to cattle
and the manure from the cattle put
back on the land, with the growth
OF those cattle, are together of
more value than the crop of good
green manure. Admitting this
claim, the roots of clover, when
allowed to grow two or three
years, will benefit the soil by PEN
etrating, perforatIng and aerating
the subsoils so as 10 increase the
yield of a wheat crop that may fol-
low at least twenty-five, and often
fifty per cent on heavy clay soils.
Whatever view may be taken of
the subject, there is no crop that is
generally growing in favor with
the general farmer East, West,
North or South, and there are few,
il any, crops that will result IN so
few dIsappointments as will the
common red clover. J. W,

REFUNDNG FOE FARMERS.

St Louis Republican.
In view of the extremely low
price of agricultural products the
owner of a farm who puts a new
mortgage on it for any ordinary
purpose is very rash. He may
have good reason 10 believe that
OUTLAWS in barns, machinery, or
other improvements would be a
great convenience and consider
ably increase the productive ca
pacity of his farm, but the hard
fact remains that few farms are
now paying more than n small H.
terest on their cost. and that unless
tho money which he might invest
in buildings, stock, or tools added
to the yield of his land enough to
return q fair rate per cent. upon
the sum so expended 1t would only
increase the difficulty of making
both ends meet.
In many parts of the west and
southwest they are still paying 8
and 10 per cent. on old mortgages
amply secured, and all over the
country the rates of interest on
farm debts are, in many instances,
higher than those paid by other
borrowers who give no better Sc
curity. At a time when money is
vainly seeking investment in all
financial centers at extremely low
rates of interest and several issues
of bonds paying 3 per cent. or less
are being eagerly purchased, 1t is
a great pity that such state of
things should exist. The query is
prompted whether it is not feas-
ible for farmers to follow tho OK
ample of states, municipalities, and
the United States government and
refund large part of their IN
debtedness with great advantage
to their financial condition.
If he were to borrow money on
a now mortgage he would doubt
less make q diligcnt effort 10 get
it as cheaply as possible, but he
goes on paying the old rate of in
terest upon n mortgage gwen when
the scale of prices was higher all
