A MILD REACTION.

The logical position of the Socialist
Party towards old fashioned trade union
ism, think, is the real cause in the re-
cent reaction among minority in the

in teapot tempest. Therefore, a word
on the subject is not amiss.
Scientific Socialism of to-day appeals
to the people of the world regardless of
the present race or class distinctions.
1t would reorganize society on basis
in which all the people, no matter what
their position happens to be to-day,
would require in order to live; to render
a certain service to society where they
are best needed and fitted. Hence. all
would be workers.
Socialists, then, cannot afford to waste
all their energies entirely on the COM
paratively few of the disconnected who
are organized into trade unions. We
have the whole people to educate. So
cialism is a political issue. The trade

but our aim is to change the system
that breeds scabs. Socialists cannot
afford to humiliate themselves by taking
as party hand in the miserable fail
ure of boycotts, strikes, etc. The pro-
gressive unions, and even the conserva.
tive ones, realize the futility of their
methods, and are beginning to ponder
over their socialistic platforms that can
only be carried into effect through po-
litical action.

1t is not the breed so much as the feed;
it is not the feed so much as the care,
but the better the breed, the better the
feed, and the better the care the better
will be the results. Luck has little to do
with it.
For poultry house the best floor is
cement; then use plenty of dry soil as a
deodorizer. Or, if the dry soil has not
been provided when winter comes, use
sifted coal ashes.
Applications of liquid manure may be
made to plants throughout the growing
season with wonderful results. 1t should
be applied often, in weak state.

Removing Stumps.

1t is no easy matter to remove green
stumps from newly cleared field, and
to do so at once for any considerable
number will be found to cost more than
the use of the land they occupy will
be worth, until they have decayed,
so that their removal by fire or other
wise will be comparatively easy. Stumps
that have partly decayed roots can often
be twisted out by placing the largest end
of a long and stout piece of timber
against the side of the stump and chain
ing it fast, then with team at the other
end of the lever pulling in the direction
of a circle around it. A method that
has been recommended is to bore a hole
as deep as you can down in the center OF
the stump in the fall and put in two
ounces of saltpeter and fill the hole with
water and plug it up.
In the spring remove the plug and fill
with kerosene oil and afterwards ignite
it. This, it is said, will cause the stump
to smolder away entirely. The expert
ment is one that can easily be tried.
There is no doubt that saturating a sea-
soned stump with oil by boring into it
or otherwise will greatly facilitate its
burning. AS a general thing it will be
found best to leave green stumps to sea-
son and then destroy them as fast as you
can with fire. Stumps are expeditiously
blown out with dynamite, but few farm
ers care to handle this explosive. When
expense is no object patent stump pullers
may be resorted to.

desirable iron clads is consequently a
comparatively short one. 7. II. Hoskins,
of Vermont, who has had an experience
of nearly a quarter of a century, names
in Vick's Magazine a few of the best
iron clads known.
OF the native Canadian apples very
few, if any, are SO hardy away from the
protective influence of the sea, the st.
Lawrence river and the lakes as to en-
title them to rank as true iron clads.
The most desirable of them are the Fa-
meuse and some of its seedlings.
The Canada Baldwin is of the Fa-
meuse type and size, but it is a very
much longer keeper, quite equal to the
American Baldwin in that respect, but
otherwise bearing small resemblance.
Its quality is very good for any use. 1t
succeeds best on strong soil. Fameuse
Sucree is of Fameuse size, but more OBJ
late and darker in color, being rose
wood red. 1t has both acid and sweet in
its composition, and its strawberries and
cream flavor make it a superior dessert
fruit of its season, September and Octo-
Der.
Among Vermont apples entitled to
class as iron clad, the Bethel stands first
in size, beauty, quality and keeping, be-
ing superior to the Baldwin in all; but it
has the fault of the Northern Spy, slow
ness to come to full bearing. Otherwise
it would be very extensively planted.
SCOTS Winter is another Vermont iron
clad, of only medium size, but bearing
young and freely. 1t is long keeper,
quite acid and hard until March, then
becoming softer and milder, and being
good until July. Northfeld Beauty
claims Crab origin, like the Wealthy,
and is fully as good a fruit, but not quite
SO good keeper, nor SO reliably produc-
tive. 1t is above medium in size, nicely
striped with carmine on a yellow skin.
Among western iron clads, Wealthy
stands at the head, and is quite at home
in all northern New England and Cana
da. 1t is a fairly good keeper if gath
cred early and placed at once in a cool
cellar; but otherwise handled it hardly
lasts longer than Fameuse.
McMahon's White is true iron clad,
the only one yet received from Wiscon-
sin. While pretty hardy, it will not
stand the occasional test winters, the en-
DURANGO of which alone accords that
title. Mcmahon is large and hand
some pale green fruit with a faint pink
cheek. The tree is vigorous and produc-
tive, comes young to bearing, and has all
the characterics is of a good orchard tree.
The fruit is excellent for culinary use,
but only fair to eat out of hand. Its sea-
son is late fall and early winter.
Iowa Russell is among the hardest of
russets. 1t is but partially russeted and
has pink cheek. In size it is rather
above the Golden Russet of Western
New York, which is supposed to be its
parent, and it is much better in quality,
a good keeper, and deserves more atten-
ton than it has yet received.

Chicken Lice,

The most effective agents for killing
chicken lice are kerosene, insect pow
der and grease. The first step is to thor
oughly clean out the hennery and kill
the insects that are there. For this moth
ing is better than thoroughly spraying all
places harboring them with kerosene.
More than once will he required, and
this should be repeated during the sum-
mcr. busting the hay in the nests with
air Stacked lime, in which you have put
a few drops of carbolic acid, will help to
keep them free. There are several kinds
of the lice, but all may be fought with
the same weapons. The ones most no.
ticed are the little red mites that swarm
everywhere. There is also larger in
sect that works on the head and neck
only. Greasing the top of the head and
neck with lard oil in which there is a
little kerosene is the remedy for this spe-
cies. In general, take each fowl by the
legs and dust plenty of insect powder
among the feathers and apply grease
to the head and legs, with little under
the wings. Too much grease is hurtful,
and on small chicks it should be used
sparingly No danger need be appre-
hended from the insect powder, which
should be used on setting hens several
times during their incubation.

As winter food for poultry, the turnip
gives good results, fed in the cooked
state. If mess of turnips and grain be
fed, the hens will keep in better condi-
ton and lay greater number of eggs
than when grain alone is fed. The poul-
tryman will some day know that, when
he feeds mixed diet of turnips, chopped
clover and other bulky food, with only
enough grain to balance the rations, as
is done for the COW, he will get better
results, and at a lower cost.

Does Heating Milk Affect the Butter?
Experimental studies of the question,
'Does heating milk affect the quality or

First, that there is loss Of butter
when the milk is allowed to cool much

THE TOILET OF DEATH.
Prsparins French Criminals for the ram Of
the 0ulllotiuess Knife.


Toward 4 OF 8 O'Clock, when everything
is ready outside, the warden Of the prison,
accompanied by several officials, goes to
him by the shoulder, announces that his
demand for a pardon has been rejected,
says q Paris letter. As DON az the pris-
oner has dressed himself he is, if he SO
desires, left alone with the chaplain for q
few moments; afterward he is. led to the
toilet room. First, his shirt collar is cut
away sufficiently to allow the guilloiine
knife to fall upon his bare neck; then he is
fastened with a cord starting from the
shoulders and connecting with another
cord that binds the two wrists, a third cord
goes from the wrists to the knees, where it
is Joined to another cord already passed.
around the legs.
Thus strapped the culprit is obliged to
thrown back. When the preparations are
ended the procession starts for the guillo-
tine, the prisoner being supported by two
of the headsman's aids and accompanied
by the executloner, the chaplain aud the
other officials. The huge prison doors are
thrown open and the first object the on
demned man sees is the black, trapeziform
knife, which, according to the general inn
preston, is not concealed from his gaze.
The distance from the door to that guillo-
tine is scarcely twenty steps, and as soon
as the criminal reaches the swinging board
the chaplain quits him, the executioner
seizes him and and pushes him on to the
bascule. Pan! Pan! a click and a thud;
the fall of the knife, the heavy sound of u
body falling into the bran box. The
movements are almost simultaneous. The
knife falls. The criminal disappears.
As soon as the ceremony is over tho
body is placed in q wagon aud conveyed to
Ivey Cemetery, where it is buried in the
turnip field. When the parents reclaim
the body and it is inferred in another part
of the cemetery, no name is ever put upon
the headstone, in order not to excite pub
lie curiosity. When the body is not re-
claimed the Project of Police authorizes
the Faculty of Medicine to take it.
Strictly speaking, the corpse ought not to
be delivered to the Faculty until after
twenty-four hours, this delay being &C.
corded to the family to make its demand,
but the custom is to give up the body inn
mediately after u simulated burial when
the authorities are certain it will not be
reclaimed.
During the whole of this lugubrious
ceremony the chief exccutioner never
touches the victim. The toilet and all the
operations that require contact with his
person are performed by the aids.
