Wasting Natures Gifts,

Stories come to us from various
quarters that the natural gas is giving
out. The probability is there are ex-
aggerations in the reports to this effect,
but that the intelligence is in part we'll
founded there is reason to believe.
There has been something amounting
almost to infatuation in the public pas
sion for finding Shis gas and then burn
ing it as display. There never has
been more startling and destructive
profigacy than that exhibited in this
State and the State of Indiana in re-
spect to this, one of the most wonder
full of the ample resources of nature
with which this land was endowed.
There are half dozen counties in this
State and Indiana where gas has been
reas- Ny found, and the people seem

1t seems something should be done in
the way of Legislation to check this
hideous destruction of the ideal fuel.
It is as bad as the desolation of forests
and the poisoning of the streams, and
the washing away of the soil through
recklessness in cultivation, and it ought
to be more impressive because the pro-
cesses Of destruction are .pnspicuous.

Poor Peoples Chances.

Some years ago. a city missionary was
crossing ono OF the parks in New York on
the Sabbath day and said to q lad: "What
You ought to bs at Church and worshipping
God instead Of breaking the Sabbath in this
way" The poor lad in his rags looked up
at tho city missionary and said: "Oh, sir,
its very easy for you to talk that way; but
God knows that we poor chaps amt got no

Value Of Forest RANGES

The value of a forest range for feed.
ing cattle is not well understood, even
in tho South, where large areas Of forest
are put to the purpose or ranging stock
in the summer, and which thus provides
the cheapest pasture for six months in
the year. There the forest is burned
over, with the wastcful sacrifice Of mil.
lions of dollars worth of the costliest
plant food in the form of organic nitro
gen, aud Of many millions worth of tim
ber, and for the sake of the sparse growth
of grass. At the same time the leaves of
the young growth are worth per aero
more than twice as much as any other
forage except timothy grass, and arc
worth onc.half more than this. And yet
Southern forest lands covered with the
finest timber and of the richest soil, but
little incumbcred with rock, can be pro-
cured for less than the taxes on the ma
jority of grass and clover fields in the
North. This being the case, the present
popular desire to "prcserve the forests"
should DO especially needed by the
Southern farmers, who hold on m aver
age several hundred acres each. .-M,o

How to Prevent yermin.

Prevention is better than cure, for the
reason, because it is easier. When q
farmer finds his spring calves pining
away and looking miserable from the
attacks Of lice, he will find it no easy
matter to save the calves and rid his
stables of the pests. But a few hours
spent in efforts to prevent the mischief
would have saved weeks of worry and
work. To prevent the entrance of these
pests, all fowls should bc kept from
roosting in stables. Fowls will do no
harm if their house is kept clean and
the roosts arc well soaked with kcro
Gene once a month. But half. n. dozen
lousy hens will infect all the stock in the
stables and give trouble through the
whole winter. For the stock, the best
way to keep them free from vermin is to
brush them we'll once day, using a stiff
brush, to which little Kerosene is ap-
piled by means of sponge, or the hair
may be rubbed with the oiled sponge
and then we'll brushed. This will keep
the animals free from lice and make
their coats smooth and glossy, but if
used too plentifully it will take off the
hair and blister the skin.-Amgrican
Agricultuyi,t.

Unrain;y Man.

Man is an ungainly creature ut the
best. His head is an irregular spheroid !;
his eyes are not alike or of equal eff
ticiency; his whiskcrs won't grow uni
formly. One shoulder is higher than
the other, one hand or foot larger than
the other-and this on opposite sides
his hips Cif he has any are unequal in
shape. The calves of his legs are not
twins in anything but age, and without
his tailor, halter, and bootmaker he is
very sorry-looking animal. AS for
women-well, this article is not writ

A Demand for Big Horses.

to breed them, and afterwald to feed

that are we'll matched will bring $500 as
quickly rs one silver dollar will bring
another The best horse for the farmer
to rise is the draught horse. The 400
to 100 pound draught horse requires no
special experience or training to sell, and
the farmer has no need of II professional
trainer. n ready market is constantly
open for the draught horse. The de
mand far exceeds the supply. The
farmer can turn them into cash at their
real value more quickly than any other
class Of horses. While cattle, sheep and
hogs have been so depressed the past year
or two, the draught horse breeders have
met an active demand at big prices; in
fact, they are masters of the situation
and about the only class of breeders that
can set up their own price, and get it
too.

Both in the preparation of the soil fol
the crops before planting and in giving
the earlier cultivation afterward, the
harrow can be used with profit to q
more or less extent. For fning the sur
face of the soil it is one of the very best
implements we have, and, with the large
number of different kinds sold under
this name, we can secure an implement
adapted to almost any kind of work and
in almost any kind of soil. The i'm
provements made upon the old A harrow,
are giving us the square, Scotch, vibrat-
ing, flexible, and smoothing harrows, to
which may be added quite a list OF
spring, disc and cutting or slicing har-
rows. In this line of implements there
would certainly seem to be full supply,
so that no matter what kind of soil the
farm is composed of, harrow can be
used with profit on nearly or quite every
farm. But with the spring, disc and
cutting harrows, they will do much bet
ter work with some soils than with
others. One will be best in one kind of
soil, and the other in a different soil.
Some are better for some kinds OF work,
and some for others.
1t is best to have the soil prepared in a
thoroughly fine condition before planting
the Seeu, anu 10 keep the SOIL In SOOu
tIlth until the plants have made Il sutli-
cient growth to be able to commence
using the cultivators. Weeds are much
more easily destroyed when young than
after they get good start to grow, and
if the soil is p. spared in good tilth be-
fore planting the seed, in u majority of
cases the harrow will be found the
cheapest and best implement to use in
destroying the weeds.
The disc, spring or cutting harrows
are good implements to prepare the soil
in good tilth for seeding oats, grass or
other small grain or wlen oats arc sowu
on corn -stubble or land that has been
planted in the fall. They are good I'm
plements to cover the seed, sowing the
seed broadcast and then covering the
with the disc or cutting harrow. The
same applies to sowing wheat in the fall.
They will fine the surface and prepare in
n good tilth for sowing the seed with
the drill or seedsowcr. And the work
can be done so much more economically
that in many cases these can be made
very profitable implements. Prairie

Rose Insects.

The insects most harmful to roses are
the green fly, red spider, rose hopper or
thrips, and the rose bug and the black
slug. Now, though these insects IN
volve some little trouble. yet success
will attend all persistent efforts. The
green fly, the thrips and the black slug
can all be kept under by syringing the
plants with solution of whale oil soap
One pound of soap is sufficient for eight
gallons of water. Throw the water in a
fine spray on the under rs we'll as the
upper side of the leaves. A syringe with
bent nozzle is the best instrument with
which to apply the liquid to the lower
side of the leaves. The red spider can
be held in check by Swinging the leaves
with clear water; in dry times this should
be done every day. If the rose bug
(melolotha subspinosa) makes its appear
ance, which is not very often, it can be
destroyed by the insect extermiuator.-

Best Food for Pigs.

Experiment appears to have proven
the benefit Of supplying such n proper
tion of nitrogenous food with maize for
pigs as will render the feeding fully nu
tritious and healthful. The effects oi
such feeding have been that the growth
of bone was larger the vital organs
the heart, lungs, liver and spleen were
heavier and more vigorous, while, as
might be expected from this better de-
yelopment of these organs, the carcass
was heavier and the proportion of lean
meat to fat was larger than on exclusive
maize feeding. 1t may be sufficient to
point out these facts to lead feeders of
pigs to make use of such nitrogenous
food as bran, milk and linseed cake meal
along with maize, so as to avoid disease
and secure more and better meat, greater
profit in feeding aud exemption from
losses by disease. -MeW York Herald.
