upon him they wrought singular eff
feet. They infused his spirit with
deep and all-pervading melancholy.
His heart was sad, his hearing pro-
foundly detected, and his eyes frequent
ly full of tears. But he also felt that
in some way he was to redeem Italy
and bring again the days of faith and
purity. When he felt the conscious
ness of such mission his whole bear
ing was changed his eyes flashed with
the intensity of his thought, and ''his
voice rang like the call of the angel of
the last day"
In 1890 he was sent to the monastery
of st. Marks, in Florence, as chapel
preacher. Florence was lifted up to
the loftiest heights of literature, art
and song And under the Medicis it
had become the center of brilliant,
stirring, half pagan life. 1t was the
brightest spot in Italy, and even the
passage of four centuries cannot wholly
destroy the memory of its brightness,
gladness, and wild abandon in the de-
lights of the physical and material.
This vast interplay of moral and i'm
moral forces was to confess him its
master, and his influence was to be
greater than that of a dictator.
The first beginnings of Savonarola's
public ministry were humble enough
and gave no promise of the brilliant
success he was afterward to achieve.
Indeed, his first public preaching was
sad failure. He attempted to follow 10
the letter the instructions of his teach
ers, and was so unnatural and artificial,
that he could not carry it through.
And so in sad detection he returned to
his monastery. But the spirit within
must find expression. He had prophet
soul and must speak. And presently
the surging tides of feeling, strong con-
viction and moral intensity swept aside
| the feeble barriers of conventional re-
straint and timidity, and the strong
man was made manifest, and the orator
of the fourteenth century revealed.
AS chapel preacher at st. Marks, he
modestly began his great ministry of
only eight years, but brim-full of great
events, and touching half world in its
wonderful course. He assembled the
monks under a damask-rose-tree, and
lectured to them on the themes of the
/ hour. For time all went on quietly:
then, as his spirit, stirred to its depths
with great thoughts, began to shape
more eloquent speech, the monks from
other establishments came to hear him,
and by stress of very numbers he went
into the chapel. But an eveT-growing
audience necessitated the use of the
Cathedral, an immense building always
packed to its utmost capacity when
ever he was to speak. Men and women
went at midnight that they might Sc
cure places for the early morning ser
vice. His tongue was that of the COM
mon people he used their words,
employed their illustrations, and ap-
pealed to them like brother. Against
the sins of the masses he thundered and
famed with the heat of new judgment.
Against gaming, avarice, licentious-
ness, and dishonesty, he struck fearful
blows. He was absorbed with the idea
of righteousness. That seemed to him
the only object of life, to be right, not
only in matters of religion, so called,
but daily duties and life-labors.

The maladministration of law often
works as grievous wrongs as the grossest
violation. While it is sought to compel
obedience from the citizen, the courts
and police officers should be held closely
to fair and impartial Interpretation and
execution of the law.

The striped squash bug. which has been
so abundant for the two past seasons, is
best kept in check by the use of the plas-
ter and paris green. For the family gar
den the safest and most satisfactory way
to overcome them is to make q bottomless
box twelve inches square and six or eight
inches deep, and cover it with mosquito
netting. One of these boxes placed
over each hill until the plants have be-
come tough and hard is a sure protec-
ton.
Crooks of butter to be kept for several
months, says the United States Dairyman
should never be placed upon the cellar
bottom. This causes two degrees of TEN.
perature in the crock, which will be at the
expense of the quality of the butter at
the top. The crooks will keep their con-
tents far better if placed at least a
foot from the cellar bottom upon q bench
and thick wooden cloth thrown over
it.
A leading authority states that London
purple or paris green, to destroy the po-
tato bug, is more economically applied
with plaster or ground gypsum than with
water, and the results are better. MiA
one part poison with 100 parts, by weight,
of plaster. Too much of the poison in
jures the foliage. If sufficient care is
used in the thorough mixture of the sub
stance, paris green can be used in the
proportion of l to $50.
The following mixtures are recommend
ed as excellent for coating plows and
tools IN order TO keep them from rusting:
Dissolve ali ounce of resin in four ounces
of linseed oil, add one quart kerosene,
stirring the mixture we'll. Apply in a
warm condition. Another method is to
dissolve an ounce of turpentine, and add
four ounces of lard and one ounce of
pulverized black lead or stove polish; mix
well, and rub on with a rag.
The rule in using gypsum should be q
little at time and often. 1t is best APP
piled on the leaves, and before rain;
but in midsummer or after it will increase
the size of ears of corn when a second APP
plcation is made as compared with that
only plastered early in the season. Its
extraordinary effect on vegetation under
some idea that it has often some power
to decompose air, and make its nitrogen
available as plant food,

off than in the spring. A failure one year
in fifteen is not bad record for Kansas
or any other country. Mr.. Taylor has
240 acres of Kansas river bottom land,
nearly all in potatoes. His crop this
year will amount to fully 10000 bushels.
In the spring he will ship about thrifty
cars TO Western Texas and Kansas. Ten
years ago Mr.. Taylor was a renter of Mrs.
Armstrong, near Kansas City. His crop
/ will average 200 bushels per acre this
year "a very good yield" said the potato
king but they are rotting badly, caused
by the heat of the sun upon the soil so
long
The Ohio early is his favorite, though
he grows twenty varieties and has grown
$50 different species. He bellows in
dry weather. And for good potato dig
ger that will do its w0-IA as well as the
binder does in the harvest, he will give
$1,000. His stOre-house is full of ma
chinery used for potato culture, but he
considers most of the advertised potato
diggcrs as frauds. Last year he dug
$500 bushels from eight acres, little
over 400 bnshels to the acre, but this
was an exceptional yield and not a fine
quality Of potato. His store house is a
model in all its apartments; stands by
the side-track, and has all the conven-
fences for storing and shipping. It's
dimensions are 10Ox36 ond 5Ox70 feet.
two stories. stone.
Mr.. Taylor plants with the hand and
digs with the Avery potato digger though
the machine does not give good satisfac-
ton. He does not cut the potato before
planting, but plants an average size, not
the largest nor the smallest There is
no advantage" said Mr.. Taylor, "in plant
ing only large potatoes. They viii yield
no better and give no more satisfactory
results than smaller potato; though /
would not plant the smallest specimens,
and l am always careful to plant only
healthy sound and vigorous specimens

Peaches should be peeled, but the pits

ground cloves, and one teaspoonful of all
spice, Place all in porcelain lined
kettle, and boil slowly for three-quarters
of an hour, when they are ready for bot
thing. The self-sealing jars such as are
USED Tor preserves, are best for these al
so. The peaches should be carefully re-
moved from the sirup and placed, one at
time, in jar until is is nearly full.
Then pour in strip enough to fill the jar
to its brim, Seal while hot, as ordinary
preserving is done, and let them stand
for three or four days, when they will be
ready for use.
Ripe seckel pears are also very delight
full when spiced, and though they are
small they should be peeled as the
peaches are, for they will 30 far more
tender and delicate. Treat them in the
same manner rs the peaches using for
them the same quantity of sugar, vinegar
and spices, and bottle according to direc-
tions.
Canned peaches may also be used with
nearly as good result, by draining off
the sirup. and adding the vinegar, spices
and sugar in the same proportion as for
the fresh fruit

A steer weighing one thousand pounds
gross will require less food than any
number of sheep weighing in the aggre-
grte as much as the steer. In other
words, sheep require more food to the
1000 pounds of live weight than steers
do, 1t Is true, however, that out Of a
quantity of food sheep will make more
flesh than a steer. Sir. j. b. Lawes got
60 pounds of water-f free beef out OF 100
pounds of water-free nutritive material,
and 8 pounds of waterfree mutton ont of
the same amount Of food IA difference
of one-third in favor of the sheep In
live weight the figures stood 8 pounds of
steer to II pounds of sheep out of 100
pounds OF dry food eaten.
This seems somewhat paradoxical. A
sheep requires more food in proportion,
taking 1000 pounds of live weight az the
standard, than steer does, and yet the
sheep makes more meat out of the food
than the steer, Prot SaHb9rn,-of the
Missouri Agricultural College, estimates
the demand or sheep for food to excel,
for each 1000 pounds of live weight, that
of cattle by % to 80 per cent. yet, all
things considered, hundred pounds or
a thousand pounds of mutton costs less
beet.
the reasons why sheep, according to
live weight eat moro feed than do steers
are differently stated, though, perhaps
any observer would concede the PROPOSE
tion after a moments reflection Say it
requires ten sheep to equal the weight of
one steer of 1000 pounds. There are ten
lives. ten separate organism. ten distinct
bodies 10 be supplied in one case, and
only one in the other, and the outside
surfaces of all the sheep would consider
ably exceed in area the outside surface
of the steer. The greatest waste of the
system is from the outside. Besides this.
the sheep is making coat OF wood all
the time and the steer Is not. A good
deal of food is required for the wool
alone Good wool cannot be produced
without good feed and good deal of it.
Jn estimating the cost of mutton as
compared with beef it is proper to take
into consideration all these facts The
ten sheep use up 1880 pounds of food
while the steer uses only 1000 pounds,
bat the steer makes flesh only ont of his
feed, while the sheep make wool also out
o. thcirs Putting the case as Prof. San
born does the point is easily seen. Civ
EN- 100 pounds each of live steer and sheep
at four cents a pound, live weight, if we
subtract eight pounds of wool at 20 cents
a pound from cost of the sheep the dressed
carcass Of the steer, 9t go per cent.
Shriuk0ge, viii cost 6,66 cents per
pound the dressed carcass of the sheep
viii cost 4.6l cents per pound; or the
former cost A. per cent. more than the
latter.
There is still another consideration. In
what is written above we have assumed
that the same kind of food is used in
both cases, 1t is well known. however,
that the sheep feeds largely on what Is
rejected by the steer. And still another
fact is that in tests Of meat to their
relative shyinkage in cooking, NUT
ton looses less than beef 1t is not
difficult when pertinent facts are so
readily found. TO show that as q matter OF
real profit, there Is more in sheep than in
cattle.
