If you have compact soil, disin-

than turning over the furrow. Hence
in all such soils the furrow shonid be

The idea that sheep at pasture will
live and thrive without water to drink
is a serious and costly delusion to
many farmers. By eating when the
dew is on the grass they can get along
with little water, but that little they
require as absolutely as any other
stock, or poor condition and poor wool
will tell the story of their deprivation.
Skim milk and grass alone will

it causes scours, which counteracts its

OBNOXIOUS WEEDS.
Tk1 Most Persistent and Troublesome En-
emy of the Agriculturist.

ThS Most persistent and troublesome En-
emy of the Agriculturist.
In the mountains of Wales and the
north of England there is kind of
true thistle, classed as such by techni-
cal botanists (for the saw-wort is arti-
ficially relegated to a distinct genus).
which is destitute of prickles on the
leaves. though it somestimes shows the
first faint beginnings of prickly ten
dency around the scaly flower cup and
in the bristly teeth of its crinkled
leaves. From this early stage in the
evolution of thistledom we can trace
the gradual steps in the defensive pro-
cess, through thistles that grow with
prickly leaves and those in which the
prickly margins begin to run little
down the stem, to those which have
clad themselves from top to toe in
perfect mail of sharp spines, so that it
becomes quite impossible to grasp
them anywhere with the hand, and
they can only be eradicated by the hoe
or plough. 1t is significant fact that
the most persistent and troublesome of
all these highly developed kinds, the

cial weed of cultivation. far most fire.
quently found in titled fields, and
seldom disputing with the simpler
forms the open moors, mountains or
pastures. 1t does not trust entirely,
like others of its kind, to its floating
seeds, blown about everywhere as they
are by their light tag Of thistle down;
but it creeps insidiously underground
for many yards together, sending up
from time to time its annual stems and
defying all the attempts of the agricul-
tural interest to exterminate it bodily
by violent measures. This is the COM
mon and familiar pale purplish thistle
of our English corn fields, and there
can be little doubt that it has developed
its curious underground habits by
stress of constant human warfare,
especially with the plow share. Thus
the very efforts we make at fighting
nature defeat themselyes-if we per-
sistently hoe down the stems and
weeds Of an obpoxious weed, the weed
retaliates by sending out hidden sub
terranean suckers, and the last state of

THE FUTURE AMERICAN.

What VIII BE His Race Characteristics In
apna Half q Century's Time.N aAa
The immensity Of the stream of i'm
migration annually flowing into the
United States has given rise to much
speculation as to the type of men who
will constitute the future citizens OF
that country. The influx of the Celtic,
German, Latin and Slavonic types has
been 80 great in the past that thought
full men feel some anxiety as to the
american of the future The ques-
ton is: Will the Anglo-Saxon hold his
own or will some other type predom-
mate?
The population of the United States
may be estimated as at present about
56,000,000 Of these about 1900, 900
are colored and $500, 900 foreign born.
leaving 40,000,00 of native whites.
In 1870 the first census put the white
persons in the United States at 3, $780,
900, chiefly of British origin, although
Germans and Irish were numerous in
certain localities This original native
population if left 30 itself would now
by natural increase have reached an
aggregate of twenty millions, and this
may be taken as the strength of the
old stock among the present native
white population. Since 1890 more
than thirteen million immigrants have
arrived in the country, more than half
of them in the last twenty years.
Up to 1876 Ireland was most largely
represented among these, having sent
between 1920 and 1870 about 2, 700. 900
persons. In the same time England
and Wales contributed 100000 and
Scotland 85, 200. Germany sent 9, 2,270,-
900, Sweden, Norway and Denmark
100000, and France 245, 900. In the
subsequent decade Germany came to
the front, and the census of 1880 gave
the following as the number of native
born persons from the countries named
as being then natives Of the United
States: -tftt-s Al4.s..
Germany 700 s4s
Great Britain. 1883
Scandinavian countries. es................ A0,263
The most astonishing feature of this
enormous immigration, however, is
that nearly one-half of the natural in
crease of the countries from which the
population of the United States is most
largely drawn, annually comes to
America. This is shown by the follow
ing figures, giving the natural incl ease
of these countries and the number of
their immigrants to the United States

FARMING A BUSINESS.

Correct Commercial Principles Indispens-
"a able to Agricultural Success.
II don't need a business education,
for / never expect to be anything but a
farmer" This is q common express
sion, and most unfortunate because il
is false view, both of a business edu-
cation and the requirements Of correct
farming. If any business on earth de-
mands method, system and the appli-
cation of correct business principles,
that business is farming. Of course
we do not mean by this that every
farmer should keep complicated set
Of books, and have an Office equipped
with all the modern conVe niences, but
we do claim that so far as it goes his
business should be as much regulated
by correct system as that of a large
commercial house. "A farmer is both
a manufactures and a merchant, and
the good results of the manufacturer
can be destroyed by the bad methods
of the merchant. To secure good
crops is one thing; to get them con-
cash is. another. There are more fail
ures produced by bad Management than
poor crops. Apoor crop this year may
be remedied by the results of next
year, but bad methods entail con-
tinuous failures. Business education
inculcates system. order and method,
and does away with the guess work,

instructive only in affording the study
Aof lawful examples. We want more

Many years ago burglary was COM
mitted in village of New York many
miles distant from the metropolis. A
man Of notorious character living in
aa sdjoining town was suspected of
the crime and warrant was issued for
his arrest The weekly village news

went back and reported end the suit

process. p was good opportunity,
the suspestSd man thought, to levy a
little blsckmail on the newspapers
which had given currency to the story
of his arreSe. He conh make nothing
suing the original publisher, for he was
too we'll known to recover anything in
that quarter, so he visited Albany where
by bf1ster and threats he got fifty dol
lars ont of the Argus in the way of
compromise. He went to Springfield
with a similar result, realizing twen-
five or fifty dollars from that call.
Then he came to us, laying his dam
ages sat; one thousand dollars, which
he demanded at our hands. When
we declined to pay. he brought sait
againstus in his own county where
some copies of our paper were cir
culated. He had no intention, Of
course. to bring that suit to triad. He
supposed that we would prefer 10 pay
something down, rather than make a
long journey to defend suit in rural
district. But we met him on his own
ground and told him that as he had in
sisted that his character had been dam
aged by our publication, in his native
town, we refused al compromise and
proposed TO leave i 10 jury Of the
village, who knew him best, to assess
the amount his reputation had suffered,
which, although innocent ourselves of
any wrong doing, we would cheerfully
contribute to his exchequer. He offered
then to take five hundred dollazs in
fall, which we refused. Soon after he
came down to fifty dollars, which was
also declined On the day of trial he
was willing to- abandon the suit if we
would pay the scest, but as this would
not reimburse him for the damage
done to his reputation we could not
consent to do him this injustice and SO
the case went to the jury, every man
of whom knew something Of the plain
tiff. They rendered verdict in his
favor, admitting that what reputation
he had was ruined and assessing the
damage at six and one-fourth cents
(sixpence being then the usual small
money Of account in this State), which
did not carry costs. These he had to
discharge from his own pocket. We
paid over the amount in the small
Spanish coin represented by the YER
dict and thenein general circulation in
this country, without hesitation OF re-
luctance, and that is the only libel suit
which was ever brought to successful
issue against this paper.-N. Y. Jessr-

1t will be seen that while the Scan
dinavian countries are sending almost
the whole of their annual increase to
America, Ireland sends twice. Judg-
ing from the present rate of immigra-
ton, it is estimated that the census of
1900 will show the following numbers
of natives of the countries mentioned
to be citizens of the United States:
Germany ............ 5O0.o 900
1relan3. S0oU
UfedC brltaln S,UUU,VUU
ocanulnaVia. ...-.......- .-I,oo0eUU
Besides, there will be over twice as
many persons Of the second generation,
children of the above, and four or five
times as many who may be regarded
as belonging to the races which they
respectively represent. The persons
of German birth or origin will then be
as numerous as the inhabitants of Prus-
sia were prior to the war with Austria
in 1866, and far more wealthy.
The question thus arises: What will
be the character or race of the future
citizen of the United Statesp If immi-
grafton were always to be of the same
composition as that of the past, there
would be little ground for apprehen-
sion. But other countries are begin
ming to send large numbers of people
annually, and the stream from each
will swell very rapidly. Austria, Hun
gary and Italy have already contrib
uted largely to the population, and
immigration from these sources has
only fairly begun. Russia has scarcely
made beginning as yet, but if it once
does there can be no doubt that the
current will soon become mighty one.
In the Southern States, too, which have
not attracted many immigrants, the
colored population is increasing
more rapidly than the white. 1t is no
wonder that the American" is be-
ginning to be in doubt as to his iden-
tity, and feels no little concern as to
what will be his race characteristics in
half century's time.-7oronto MAIL
