Mr. Edward kanter of Detroit, who
has lust returned from visit to south
ern California, says that vegetation in
Michigan is farther advanced than in
Nebraska, and that he would rather
have 160 acres of land in southern
Michigan than 2 whole county of the
boosted soil of the Golden state. The
Michigan flrmer always gets crop
enough to feed his family and stock,
while the Californian is liable TO have
threc years Of absolute steriity follow
ed by one season of extraordinary
abundance. Mr.. Kanter spent some
days in Salt Lake and secured a copy
of the Book of Mormon which he is
now carefully perusing at his leisure.

GENERAL NOTES.

Judge Mallory of Milwaukee in
charging the grand jury drawn 30 con
slider the eases growing ont of the re-
Ger. labor troubles in that city, said:
No person should be indicted for the
ccmmi ssion of any oiiensc unless such
person was, in some way, by word or
ret, connected with its commission.
svery person who counsels, hires, pro-
cures or inctes others to the commits
sion of any unlawful or criminal act,
is guilty with those who tualiy per-
petratcd the act. 4 two or more per-
sons cons ire together for the purpose
of boycotting u man with intent to in
iure Or destroy his h ,Siness, they may
be indicted for conspiracy.
He suggested that The labor organiza-
iions he investigated, and if it was
found that the members are bound to
res ort to violence to accomplish their
bjccts they should be declared illegal
organizations. II believe vast ma or
ity OF the people who come TO this coun-
try from foreign lands are attracted by
our free Institutions, and come for the
honest purpose Of accepting and sus-
tanning them, and are here for the pur-
pose If making peacable homes for
their children. But unfortunately
there are many of this class who have
imbucd others into anarchistic doctrines
and melted contented and prosperous
Ia orcrs to riot and bloodshed. The
reckless and criminal conduct of the
anarchists has been tolerated too long.
Jurics must either sop the tur 3ulence
or we must abandon government

THE FARMER AS AN ELEMENT
IN SOCIETY.

The farmer does more to ignore
himself than do the classes not i'm
mediately connected/ with him.
While the merchants are alive to
all that interests them and seek to
branch out into adj the\ avenues of
trade, the farmer quietly allows
others to map out the Program Of
his operations, and pledge his action
in advance. AS long as each indi-
vidual farmer continues to isolate
himself and pursue his occupation
alone, just SO long will he be an
object forthe prey ofall other classes.
Farmers are intelligent-more so
than many suppose-but they +
naturally unsuspecting, due to their
honorable calling and fair dealing
as a class but they should awake to
the Importance OF uniting together
for the promotion Of mor objects
that tend to elevate them socially
and financially. The farmers are a
large element in society, and numer-
icaIly strong and powerful. They
require but cooperative effort to
enforce any demands they may make.
Even in the accumulation of large
sums of money, if combined, they
would be too powerful for the great
est railroad combination known.
What is necessary is for the farmers
to stand together as a class, in the
endeavor to secure greater advan-
tages, and to prevent much that
tends to lower the character of the
people as a whole. They should
first cooperate and study its various
methods. They should foster all
that assists in ameliorating the con-
dition of themselves and families,
and they should take greater inter-

INTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF
THE EARTH.

The London Times, referring to tt e
deep shaft being sunk near Schlade-
bach by the German government,
with the special object of obtaining
reliable data concerning the rate Of
the earth's increased temperature
toward the interior, concludes, from
all that has thus far been developed,
that the earth's crust cannot be more
than onc-ninetieth of it's radius. 1t
seems that the plan pursued has been
to ascertain temperature at success
i've stages by can of a special Their
mometer, the principle of construc-
ton being that, as the heat increases,
the mercury will expand so as to flow
over the lip of an open tube, the
difference of the overlooking giving
the rate of increase of the tempera-
ture. At the depth of 1892 metres
the temperature indicated 40 de-
grees Centigrade, or 100 degrees
Fair. If the temperature increases
regularly at this rate, the boiling
point of water ought to be reached
at a depth of 5000 metres, or nearly
two miles, and at forty-ive miles the
heat would be that at which pla-
tinum melts. -

DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE HERE,

That is, don't suppose you have
a pure bred male when you only
have a mongrel. Quite a number
OF persons sometimes buy BOOSTERS
from neighbors, trusting to the
nelghbors, supposing the birds to be
pure bred. The neighbors may also
be mistaken as it is not every
one who is a judge of a pure bred
male. The safest plan is to buy one
direct from the breeder. But you
may say, any kind is good enough.
If he is not exactly pure it will make
no difference. That is the difficulty
against which all should contend.
No uniformity can be secured unless
the male is strictly pure. SO many
persons suppose they have pure
bred males, when in reality the
birds have. foreign blood, hat it
becomes important to endeavor to
learn the points Of purity. Only
first-class males should be used

Dost thou remember, love? All! life for

As tho they had a tender tale to tell :
Across the hills there came in cadence
sweet,
The silvery swayings of a distant bell,
And with thy kisses, ruby-lipped divine,
NV soul was r~eeling as from draughts
of wine!
Dost thou remember, love? Canst thou

How in my hands thy vibrant fingers

How quickly moor and evening star had

Andhow the moments sped like dreams

DAMPNESS IN YARDS.

Avoid damp yards where poultry
may be confined. A damp yard
may be a very good place as long as
the hens are on their feet appear
antly, but it is one of the best con-
ductors of disease that a be found.
Dampness, heat and filth are triplets
that work in harmony, and if any
disease breaks out in a damp yard
it is much harder to be eradicatcd
than when the yard is dry. Roup
always comes from dampness, even
in summer, and when it gets in Il
flock it is almost as destructive as
cholera. If the soil is very heavy it
should be drained with a tile, but
the safest mode is to fill in the yards
at least six inches above the sur
rounding surface. Spade up the
yard occasionally SO as to turn under
the filth and also to allow the air
and sun to purify it.-Farm', Field
and StOckmdn.

FEED

Regularity is necessary in the
feeding of fowls. 1t does not sub
serve a very good purpose to feed
hens one morning early and the
next morning late. We do not feel
well ourselves by taking u meals
irregular; neither do fowls like to be
attended in that style. Two meals
a day are sufficient and the morning
meal should be a mash of some kind
and be given warm. In the evening
grain should be furnished them.
Some object to the feeding of whole
corn in the evening, but their obiec-
tions are not we'll founded. By fill
ing the corn over night digestion
and nutrition proceed without waste
of time. In summer when fowls
have a good digestion it is not nee
essary to feed more than once Il day.
When so the feeding should be at
night.-Fdrm, Field and Stockman

FOWLS TOO FAT TO LAY.

There is n point to remembered;
1T takes a certain amount OF food 10
keep the animal alive, and afterthat
all the food eaten must go either to
make eggs, to build the body or to
produce fat. 1t is nonsense to ak
of pullets being too fat to lay. When
old hens it may be possible.
Some time ago l gave the result
of some experiments with pigs, which
showed that it took fifty pounds OF
cornmeal to keep a hog one month,
and that 100 pounds of meal per
month produced a gain OF about
twenty pounds; that is, fifty pounds
wen to supply the waste OF the
system, and all above that went to
increasing the weight. In cows, a
pair consuming a small quantity
produced five quarts of milk for
every 100 pounds of green lucerne
eaten, while a pair consuming a
larger quantity produced six quarts
for every 100 pounds oflucerne they
ate. The same will be found to be
the Ease with fowls-"the fowls that
eat most will give the most proht,
as a rule, though, of course, there
will be exceptions, but not many

EGGS.

The lime process of preserving
eggs is as follows: Take salt one
pint, lime one quart, and water. suf-
fcient. Slack with hot water and
add water enough to make four gal
Ions. After it has settled pour the
clear liquor off into a pan or some
suitable vessel and add the eggs as
desired, being careful not to crack
the shells, or they will spoil. You
can add fresh eggs at any time.
Keep the vesssl in a dark cool place.
