They are arranged in long row. The
first plow Is portion of tree, one
branch being used to attach an animal
to and another used as a handle. By
their order they show the evolution of
the plow that is now employed in the
most advanced countries. Attempts
have been made to show that the pro-
gress of agriculture may best be shown
by Improvements in the plow that turns
the soil.
1t is generally acknowledged that the
best plows in the world are made in this
country. It is also admitted that the
work done with them is very poor. OBJ
serving travellers state that much better
plowing is done in Great Britain and in
many portions of the continent of Eu-
rope than in this country. This state of
things is explained by assuming that
very excellent plows lead to care.essness
in the use of them. When an imple-
ment can be depended upon to do good
work it is often if not generally placed
in the hands of person who has little
Judgment, experience or okilL None
but an expert can do good blowing with
a poor plow. In England, as in some
other countries, the plowman ranks
above the common farm laborer. He is
regarded as skilled workman. Ordi-
narily he does nothing but guide the
plow. He makes careful study of the
business and becomes very expert. In
this country boys and girls tend ma
chimes in great manufacturing establish
ments and turn out articles that can only
be made by skilled mechanics who use
common tools. On our farms incompe-
tent persons are trusted with the use of
plows and are expected to do good work
because the plows are so easy to manage.
Large farms and low prices for grain
have tendency to make plowing poor.
When q plow can be run half mile
without meeting with an impeachment the
person holding it does not acquire the
skill of one vino plows among stumps
and stones. He relies on his plow to do
everything. He seems to for2 let that q
tool is not endowed with intelligence.
The appearance of fields in many parts
of the country show that skillful plow-
ing has become lost art. Perhaps it
would be more nearly correct to say that
it is an art that has never been acquired.
Plcwing is so badly done in many parts
of the country that it Is not strange that
variety of implements have been
brought out for supplementing the work
that should be done with the plow. The
first settlers of the country had nothing
but a wooden plow and homemade
harrow, which was often no more than
some branches of trees bound together,
with which to prepare land for raising q
crop of grain. Farmers of the p e'ent
day have clod -crushers. revolving pull
vcrizers, rollers, and half do en- kinds
of harrows with which to do the same
work. Still old farmers declare that
soil is not as we'll prepared for seeding
as it was in the good old days when
they were young Chicago Times.

Tree Planting Routine.

In planting trees the following routine
NAV be followed with much advantage: {:
The ground having been prepared and
the compost being ready the trees are
ordered. lmmediately-the very next
day-the holes are dug three feet in
diameter and eighteen inches deep.
The top soil is laid by itself on one side.
When the holes are all dug the compost
is hauled to the ground and three or
four shovelfuls are put into each hole
with a portion of the top soil, so as to
raise the bottom six inches, leaving a
mound in the hole upon which the tree
will rest. AS much more compost is
left on the remainder of the top soil.
When all this has been done the trees
will probably be on hand. These are
brought home as soon as possible, taken
directly to the ground, unpacked there,
and distributed, some Of the soil being
thrown upon the roots as each tree is
laid down. If any roots are broksn
they are cut smoothly to the sound wood
and others shortened. Then the plant
ing follows. A tree is held upright,
with the centre on the mound aforesaid.
One person kneels and spreads the roots
carefully over the mound to avoid any
space under the tree, draws some top
soil on to them until the roots are settled,
and then holds the tree while another
person shovels in gently the mixed soil
and compost, shaking it loosely upon
the roots while these are arranged in q
natural position in the soil that they
may not be broken when the soil is
tramped firmly. When the top soil is all
in, the lower soil is put in. And as soon
as poss BILE after the planting is finished
this is enriched and the roots protected
at the same time by liberal top dress
ing of coarse manure all over the three
foot circle. If any one thinks this is too
much trouble he will save money by not
planting any trees at all.-Nsu York
Times.

Use Plenty of Apples.

Apples are abundant ana cheap this
year, says the New York Witness, and
there is no more useful fruit. Raw,
stewed, baked or preserved, they are
wholesome, toothsome and nutritious.
The fall apples are the most juicy and
delicious, but do not keep. and for that
reason have to beasold cheap. Every
good. sized family should buy barrel OF
them at once for immediate use, and
save them from spelling by eating them
up A considerable portion of them
might also be made into jelly by coring
them and boiling skin and all. Red ap-
Piles are best for this purpose. as the
color of the skin gives fine rich tint to
the Jelly. A liberal allowance of lemon
juice should be added to the apple juice
and an equal weight of sugar, and the
whole boiled into jelly: 1t is the
cheapest of all jellies, and remarkably
good when we'll made. Bought apple
Jelly is not nearly 30 nice, and can seldom
be relied upon. 1t is frequently made
from the refuse of tie evaporating cs-
tablishments, that is, the cores, and
skins and wormy apples.
Pickles.
For pickles of all kinds use the best
cider vinegar and not an acid, vinegar,
So called. 1t cannot be too strong, as it
is weakened when scalded. Unscalded
vinegar does not keep well with pickles.
Never use metal vessel in picking; it
should be either granite ware or por-
celain. Pickles should be examined fire.
ouently and the soft ones taken out. IT
white specks appear in the vinegar drain
it off and scald; add o half teacup of
sugar to each gallon and pour again over
the pickles. A few bits of horse radish
or few cloves added will improve the
flavor.
All vegetables or fruits for picking,
except for sweet pickles, should be
sound, but not quite ripe. Do not scald
cucumbers, but soak them in salt and
water. Boiled beets can be picked
whole, first removing the outer skin, to
be sliced when required. Vegetables
that require to be boiled or scalded before
picking will be whittier if little lemon
or green grape juice is added to the
water, as cabbage, caulifower, white
beets or onions. For green vegetables
put little soda in the water to preserve
the color. Care should be taken not to
scald too much, or they will be soft and
tasteless.
Always have the vegetables or fruit
perfectly cold before pouring over the
vinegar, which should be in all cases very
hot.
A good average of spices to quart OF
pickles is an even teaspoon each of all
spice and peppercorns, one-hali tea
spoon of mustard seed, piece of Jamaica
ginger one inch long and tablespoon OF
stick cinnamon broken.-Det7oH Free

SCHOOL OPENS.
Twenty Thousand Pupils Resume
Their Studies.

The summer vacation is over and
school begins to-day. Counting the
seven buildings erected since the close
of the last school year. Minneapolis has
tbirty-eight public schools. All are IN
readiness, except the North Minneapolis
High school, at the corner OF Emer-
son and Eighteenth avenues north,
and the Greeley school, at the
corner of Twelfth avenue and Twenty
sixth street south. The Greeley will be
finished by Oct. 1, but the new High
school will not be ready before the mid
die of November, and temporary ar
rangements will be made for those
schools in the other buildings. Until
their completion school boundaries re-
main much the same. A temporary
building has also been provided for the
COrcoran school. High school pupils
from the Hawthorne and Franklin
schools are to report at the Lavell.
According to Supt. Bradley's report,
at the close of the last year there were
enrolled in Minneapolis 20,651 pupils, OF
which 1897 were day scholars and
1861 attended night schools. The in
crease in the attendance of day schools
from the preceding year is 1,S03. There
have been 900 promotions to the High
school since June.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Examination for entrance and first
term conditions begin tomorrow morn
ing at the state university and continue
during the week. The department of
law opens this week, but the medical
department will not open until Oct. l.
1t is not probable that there will be any
military department this year. Science
hall will not be ready for occupation
until the spring term.

HOW TO FEED OATS
In the Most Economical Manner
--Unthreshed Becoming Popu-

In the Most Economical Manner
-Unthreshed Becoming Popu-
lar.
The custom of feeding unthreshed
oats is gaining ground among farmers,
says the Breeders Gazette, and seems
to us well worthy of more extended
practice. No farmer can thresh oats
for less than about one-quarter of the
value of the crop. Besides paying out
this large sum for the grain he gets he
often at the same time places the straw
where it is beyond convenient reach for
horse-feeding, since it usually goes
into the straw stack located in the field
or back of the barn, to be largely
wasted by the trampling of cattle: 1t
has been repeatedly demonstrated by
farmers that horses doing little or no
work in the winter can be maintained on
bright oat straw and kept in fair con-
ditiOn. If the straw alone can accom-
plish such good results it is surely too
valuable to be neglected to the degree
that it usually is upon the farm; but
why separate the grain from the straw
at all? Feeders generally admit that
corn is in better condition for feeding

when husked. and may 1t not be that
the grain of oats will 20 further when
fed along with the straw than when
separated from it? When fed I'M
thrashed the sheaves of oats should be
run through the feed-cutter and the
straw cut fine. Now the straw from an
acre of oats will weigh from ton to
ton and One-half, while of grain at fifty
bushels per acre there will be 1900
pounds. The mixture of straw and
grain gives feeding combination amply
sufficient to maintain horses doing fair
tamOunt of work in winter when all of
the straw which accompanies the grain
is consumed. For heavy work the ration
can be strengthened by ieeding some
other grain or adding bran. Some per-
sons will object to the combination and
urge that the oats will be picked out by
the horse and the straw left to cucumber
the feed-bOX. Such may be fact in
some cases, but this waste is due
largely to
IMPROPER FEEDING.
BY properly gauging the amount of
feed to the wants of the horse and not
overlooking little loss will occur. One
of the difhculties in the way OF feeding
unthrashed oats is the large loss often
consequent upon the ravages of rats and
mice in the barn. This can be largely
avoided by stacking the oats out OF doors
until needed, where vermin usually do
not annoy to any great extent. One OF
the valid claims made by the advocates
of this system of feeding is that the
grain is better maStigated and more
thoroughly digeSted than when fed by
itself, and the evidence seems in their
favor.

THE NEED OF CHURCHES.
A Decidedly Broader View Wanted
by Some Congregations.

The First Unitarian society had its
first meeting after vacation yesterday,
and II. NJ. Simmons preached ON 1.-THE
Need of Churches" In the course of
the sermon he said religion seemed one
of the surest things in the world. 1t
has lasted through all stages of society,
from the savagery that so laboriously
raised its mounds about the lakes of
Minnesota, to the civilization that
has filled our state with cities.
whose best buildings are churches
Nor is modern thought really
disturbing it. Science has swept away
our old ideas of the universe, but only
to show vastly larger creation filling
all space and time. 1t has also shown
this creation filled with diviner rule
than theology had told. 1t shows laws
nowhere broken by bad miracles, but
everywhere sustained by the infinite
miracle of eternal order. Even the
theory of evolution has only enlarged
and elevated religious thought. For
which is greater, the theology which

a curse, and sending his children down.
ward through fall and food, into eter-
nal fire, or the theory which shows Gre
alton ever rising, from mOlluscS to men,
from savage to saint, from lust to love?
Modern thought has changed our ideas
of God, but only to elevate them. 1t is
forced to abandon, one after another,
the qualities that would dishonor a
deity, but only to find more godlike
ones. Even atheism is apt to prove at
last larger theism; and Theodore Par
ker argued that there could be no real
atheism. Progress has not changed the
human heart nor altered one of the in
stincts that have produced religion.
Love cannot be silenced. The upward
look of a man toward Power above
himself cannot be stopped.
If then religion is so abiding a thing
in the world it becomes true men not
to abandon it, but to work to make it
more broad, just and humane. We still
want churches, and especially liberal
churches, which shall teach that
religion is not confined to one nation or
book, but breathes through all the good
thoughts ana words and works of the
race. We want broad churches which
shall teach that revelation is found in
all good literature; that prayer is offered
in every earnest desire to learn and live
by the divine laws; that the sacraments
are seen in all acts of self-sacrific and
love; and that the best worship is in
work for man.

WILL GO INTO POLITICS.
The Typographical Union Will
BoycOt6 Won SchlegeI,

There was large attendance at the
meeting of the Minneapolis Typograph-
ical union yesterday afternoon, when a
number of interesting matters were
considered. The new constitution and
bylaws and the scale of prices were
adopted. and will go into effect in all the
union offices in the city to-day. The
union next took up political matters,
something never before done, and after
a long and animated discussion
decided to appoint a political committee
of five to look after legislation favorable
to the printers. The matter of the re-
cent boycott against the Spectator and
the incident troubles, was brought up,
and the union decided to take hand in
politics itself this fall. Judge Won
Schlegel, the Republican nominee for
judge of the probate court, was given a
severe roasting for the letter he wrote to
the union at the time of the strike, and
1T was decided that the union. which has
200 members, would do everything in
its power to defeat him. In each
ward printers will peddle tickets with
Won Schlegers name scratched. The

CURRENT COMMENT.

If anything went wrong in relation to
the management of the Minnehaha
Driving park, at the recent meeting, it
was not the fault of that prince of race
huStlerS, r. +. Jones. There was one
trouble, and that was that Jones was
made manager and then handicapped by
the board. Why the board did not give
him full swing is more than any one can
find out. Jones is great man
about race track and seems to thor
Oughly understand mis- business, and if
the board will give him full charge of
this track, he will have three successful
meets every year and make things hum.
Great sporting center as Minneapolis is,
it has been backward in good races, but
Jones will bring up the standard if let
alone. He's all right.
~. P. McGaughey has been placed in
a peculiar position by his nomination

can hardly afford to give up a
living for an empty honor. Nei-
Their can he consistently, as

state against the party that gives him
bread and butter. The difficulty of the
situation is likely to be solved in prac-
teal way. \ subscription paper is being
passed to raise money enough to relm-
burse him for the loss of years salary

During the past week it has been

Schetfer headquarters and sub-head-
quarters have been established. A
funny but striking instance of the way
in which this fact has been forced
upon the comprehension of the astute
politician was that of a well known
lawyer who received a message from
the st. James hotel that man wanted
