The Danger Of Great wealth.

The great Syndicate of Copper
Kings is reported fallen. One reason
as stated is that it neglected to take in
the largest buyers of copper. In other
words, in endeavoring to fleece con-
sumers the world over, it made the
mistake of refusing to divide with the
fat middlemen who stand between the
producer and the consumer. For the
eight months the syndicate has been
operating it is said that it received Is
cents a pound for what cost IL cents.
Inasmuch as copper can be produced
and proftably sold for about IL cents
per pound, it will be seen that the
consumer has been heeced to the
amount of about 80 per cent, for it is
always sure that the higher the price
of any goods the more profit the man.
ufacturer must have. That it was
case Of er.greed that caused the coll
lapse, there is no doubt. SJndicates
and trusts, which flourish in this coup-
try as nowhere else, are generally astute
enough to grind the people simply to
the point Of endurance, stopping short
of piece that absolutely prohibits the
use of an article.
The salt trust has not yet fully ma
terializsd. There is, however. little
doubt that it will control the market.
Indeed, unless the Government inter-
fere, the end will be that everything
We buy, every necessary Of life, of use,
or of comfort, will yet be controlled
by few individuals who have piled
and are still piling up vast fortunes.
It is estimated that seventy-two men,
all American citizens, had the aggre-
gate of billion and 33 millions of dol
lars, or $50. 100000 more than the
total money circulation Of the United
States, on the first day of March.
With the exception of the Vanderbllts
and the Astors. nearly all these for
tunes were built up by the individuals
holding them. Two Chicago men hold
fortunes aggregating $40,O00,OOO.
The greatest single fortune of these
very rich men is that of Cornelius
vandebilt, $lIO,ooO,Ooo. Jay Gould
is credited with $4,000, 900; John D.
Rackafeller has $7O,000.00O, and the
lowest fortune of the seventy.two is
$5,00C,00O. 1t is easy to be seen that
if the individuals owning all this money
choose to put their heads together for
the purpose, they could control the
entire products of the nation. Do
they not? In great measure. yes, al
ready. If not stopped shortsomewhere,
they will soon own the Government.

Horse Dentistry.

More trouble and lack Of condition
are caused by liberated and irregular
teeth than is generally supposed. Such
teeth should be promptly removed with
forceps. There is no reason to doubt
that horse with liberated teeth suffers
as intensely from toothache as a human
subject. Irregular growth or fractures
of the enamel on the outer edges make
the teeth SO rough as to injure the
inside of the cheek, sometimes caus.
ing ulcers. In other cases some of
the grinders grow more slowly than
others and fail to meet those in the
opposite Jaw. causing what is called
"quidding," or imperfect mastication of
the food. The remedy is to file the
teeth into the proper shape. Horse
dentistry is now recognized as an i'm.
portant branch of veterinary practice.

Hamburg Figs,

Being purely vegetable in their ,om-
position, no i'll effects can result from
their constant use. Hamburg figs
always produce the same effects with
the same dose, which is of the greatest
Importance to those who wish to use
them regularly and constantly. In this
respec. they are the exact opposition
of violent cathartics and purgatives.
Physicians recognize their value in
cases of constipation during pregnancy,
since they act SO mildly but effectively.
Hamburg figs never gripe or produce
collie, and are so pleasant and agreeable
that they may be taken at all times
and places, without interfering with
pleasue or business.

whereby the good health has been at

it is that so much is heard in praise Of

Planting Trees.

Arbor Day being at hand the follow.
ing information on tree planting will
be found useful to those who intend
observing the day by planting:
The trees being snuely heeled-in,
do not plant until the weather is settled
especially until the loog wind storms
are over. The winds are dangerous
and shrivel up the bark and destroy
the verdure of the buds, which the
roots cannot yet supply with moisture,
IF the trees come to hand early this
spring, it is best to heel them in until
the weather gets warm. If trees after
a long journey in warm weather are
found to have the buds started and the
bark shriveled, trim them back. and
cut each branch back to sound, der
mant bud. Then dig trench in suit
able soil, and lay in the trees one by
one, taking care that in filing in every
part OF the shriyeled bark is in contact
with the moist soil. Cover all com.
pletely, root and branch taking care
that the labels are properly preserved
When the trees arc taken up at the
end Of week or more. the bark will be
found completely restored. Examine
the roots and prune the mutilated ones
with smoth cut. Prune tie tops into
proper shape. Some nurseries give a
large head, while others cut the young
tree into shape while yet in the nursery
rows. A covering Of finely divided
light soil over the roots is great ben
eft to newly.planted trees.

Pigs That are Oyer. Fed.

Swine are proverbially greedy, but
it is the duty ofthe owner Of an animal
to control its natural habits when these
are opposed to its well doing; SO that
the FIRST thing to be done in feeding
young pigs is to measure their feed
judiciously. They should never have
all they will eat. Only fatteniHg swine
should be SO fed, and they wonld soon
die from over-feeding if they were not
killed. When young pig chokes at
the trough, squeals and falls over in a
fit it is over-fad; when it goes to the
side of the stall, champs Its jaws, foams
at the mouth, and does nothing else
than this, it has been over-fed, and in
both cases it is suffering from conges-
tion of the brain, due to indigestion
and disturbed circulation. 1t is in a
state of apoplexy and will probably die,
anyhow, but the others may be saved
by at once reducing their feed to about
one-fourth Of what they have been get
ting. The prevalent paralysis of the
hind limbs is caused by over-feedine
by which the kidneys have been over
taxed and the nervous system of the
lumbar region (the loins) is disturbed
Thus the power of motion of the hind
legs is lost. Recent experiments in
feeding young pigs 60 to show that
a pig of forty pounds needs no more
food per day than two quarts of milk
and four ounces of solid food, such as
bran or oats and corn meal. On this
allowance, gradually increased, pigs
made steady and healthfni growth,

Care Of Young Turkeys.

Care Of Young Turkeys.
The best feed for young turkeys and
ducks is yelks Of hard boiled eggs, and
after they are several days old the white
may be added. Continue this for two
or three weeks, occasionally chopping
onions foe and sometimes sprinkling
the boiled eggs with black pepper;
then give rice, teacupful with enough
milk to just cover it, and boil until the
milk is eyaporated. Put in enough
more to cover the rice again so that
ween boiled down the second time it
will be soft if pressed between the
fingers. Milk must not be used too
freely, as it will get too soft aud the
grains will adhere together. Stir fre-
quently when boiling. Do not use
water with the rice. as it forms paste
and the chicks cannot swallow it. In
cold. damp, weather half teaspoonful
of cayenne pepper in pint Of -four
worked with lard enough to make it
stick together. will protect them from.
the diarrhea. This amount of food is
sufficient for two meals for seventy Eve
chicks. Give all food in shallow tin
pans. Boiled milk aud water, with a
little lime-water in each occasionally,
is the best drink until the chicks are
two or three months old, when Topper
ed and butter milk may take the place
of the boiled milk. Turkeys like best
to roots on trees, and in their absence
artificial roosts may be made by plant
ing long forked locust poles and laying
others across the forks. They take to
this kind of roost readily as they re-
quire plenty Of room.

The first thing to prepare for if not
done in the winter, is manure-no use
expecting to grow good vegetables
without enriching the soil. Market
gardeners, who raise immense crops to
the acre, literally manure their land.
The spade is not much used in this
country, except in spots too small to
pillow, but whichever is used, the object
is to disintegrate, and commingle the
particles of soil, to the depth of eight
to twelve inches, different from what
they we're before, and to apply the ma.
nure at the same time.
If horse and plow can be use, then
a harrow can be used, to level off the
inequalities, and leave fine tilth for
the crop to be set into. If of small ex.
tent, then the work is done by rake,
although 6rst-class spokesman can
deftly leave very even surface. Some
prefer four.tined fork for turning over
the soil. Whichever is used, digging
deep..and inverting the soil is the secret.
Sow nothing broadcast. is good max
i'm, but always in rows. Crops are
much easier handled, and if extensive
enough to warrant it, drilling machine
saves labor. IF small patch, the
fingers can readily preform the duty.
Sow the seed in depths according to
the size of the seed. Peas and beans
may he two to four inches deep, while
an inch is plenty for such as cabbage
and its size. Very minute seeds, like
the tobacco, want but just covering.
A seed requires for termination heat
and moisture. The one is obtained by
the advancing season, suitable to its
kind. For example, peas, beans, radish,
lettuce and the cabbage family will veg
etate and thrive a month before the
seed of cucumbers, melons, tomatoes
and such Southern natives will stir.
The larger seeds that can be sOwn deep
obtain the necessary moisture at the
depth they are, while, perhaps, the very
fine seeds lying near the top, without
aid, perish. for moisture. Firming the
soil benefits by the retaining of mois-
ture around the seed, but in very dry
spells the young seedlings may have to
be helped by watering. A thin coating
of light material may help the young
seed, but then, it must not be thick
enough to smother. Corn stalks, or
better yet, some evergreen boughs, are
just the thing.

Cions should be cut in mild spell,
from the growth of last season. First
make sure that they are of the desired
variety, tie them in convenient bundles,
with label. giving the name with each,
and store them in boxes with sawdust.
moss or clean sand, and keep in cell
lar where they will not dry up. Saw
dust is by far the best material TO pack
them in, as in setting the cions sand is
annoying in dulling the knives. In
grating an old orchard observe the
same rules as in planting. Do not get
to many varieties, and let those be
salable ones. Graft the same varieties

Sowing Clover.

man says IF / wanted to make a
sure thing of seeding field to clover
I would topdress it with we'll rotted
manure, and sow wheat or rye in the
fall, and clover seed the next April.
With such management the grain
would stand the winter better and
yield better, and there would be no
failure in the clover crop unless the
clover msggot or some other enemy
attacked it. Of such depredations I
have had no experience, and am in no
