Lutherans VIII Eighth Bennett Law

MILWAUKEE, June 4-The German
Lutheran Anti Bennett compulsory
school law convention today passed reso
lutions protesting against the Bennett
law because it unnecessarily and uniustly
c~urtails civil and religious liberty. Gives
the school board an opportunity of deter
mining arbitrarily that a child, during
the period of enforced attendance, must
attend the school in the city, town or dis
trict IN which it resides, thus depriving
parents OF the right to send their children
to a better or more suitable school outside
the district; compels parochisl and other
private schools to observe the time or
times of attendance fixed by the school
boards without regard to the rights and
customs of churches or their schools; pro-
scribes certain studies as also the medium
of instruction therein; affords school
boards ample opportunity to usurp pow
ers not given them, although the state
and its officers nave no right to interfere
with the management of parochial and
other private schools; declare that regard
less of former party affiliations the Ger
man Lutherans shall vote for such candi-
dates only as pledge themselves to work
for the repeal of the Bennett law.

The Cat Was Right.

In a family in town there is a cat
which is much petted. One day the
lady of the house sat down for mo-
ment, and either to relieve her feelings
or bit of innocent diversion, gave
vent to a little whistle. Immediately
the pct cat sprang up to her lap, and
with its sheathed paw struck her a
blow in the face. The lady thought
this strange, but at first hardly con-
nected it with the whistling. How
ever, a little time afterward, in an
other room, she happened to repeat
the whistle, and Immediately the cat
sprang up and struck her again. This
time the lady thought it was the
whistling which gave pussy offense,
and SO, with malice aforethought, !"
whistled again Sure enough, the
cat chastised her with another blow,
square in the face. About the only
possible explanation is that in the
whistle it fancied a call was being
given TO the pet dog and was jealous
thereat. -Renfrew tCapada) Mercury.

INTERESTING CULLINGS.
Modest Verdi.


There is at the very least one really
sensible man in Europe; and his name
is Giuseppe Verdi He positively re-
fuses to be jubileed. A committee, in
Guiding Signor Boito, had been form
ed; operate performances had been
sketched out; everything was going
swimmingly, when Signor Verdi him
self interviewed, and, incredible rs it
may seem, refused to be advertised
either for his own benefit or for that
of his rivals and publisher He.even
went so far as to forbid the latter,
Signor Ricordi, to lend the scores,
without which the jubilee perform
ances would be impossible. Under
such unprecedented circumstances,
the mayor of Milan summoned meet
ing Of the committee. which address
ed itself to the solemn question wheth-
er it is competent for a man to refuse
jubilee; whether, if he be so eccen-
trio as to have a distaste for being fuss
ed over, he has any moral right to
prevent its being forced upon him
malgre lui. If the practice of refus-
ing jubilees became common centena-
rians might take to refusing centena-
rleS; anu tLaL WOulU OBVIOUSLY never
do. Signor Boito, however, took the
view that a man may do what he
likes with his own, even with his own
jubilee, and gave in his resignation as
q member of the committee. Finally,
after a prolonged discussion, it was
agreed to submit TO adverse cirSum-
stances. But this was not obtained
without division, five members vot-
ing for tho jubilee, the whole jubilee,
and nothing but the jubilee, impelled
by their affection for the maestro to
disregard his expressed wishes Even
SO has history told of rebellions in
which the rebels were actuated by the
purest love and zeal for their sover-
eign, whom they opposed only for his
own welfare. Persons approaching tho
fiftieth anniversary of their something
or other will take comfort from the eX-
ample of courage set them by Signor

come too common to be much more
complimentary than testimonial; SO
a single resolute refusal is likely to
prove wholesome. London Globe.

Concerning Ink.

The Boston Journal has an article
upon the subject of Authors Ink"
and it says that violet is the color so
much affected by American writers
that it has come to be known as au-
thors' ink. Well, we should Judge by
their literature that American authors
used violet ink.
Still we do not think that violet is a
serviceable ink. 1t is sure to fade;
green ink will fade, and SO will blue.
Black ink is the best by all odds, and
next to black comes carmine.
We have made good many ex-
periments with different inks and diff
ferent colors of ink upon parchment
An ink that will hold its color upon
genuine sheepskin for one year is a
mighty good ink. The average violet
ink will fade therefrom in less than
forty-eight hours; green will go about
as soon; the so called indelible red
seems to be durable, and there are
numerous water proof black inks that
will last as long as the parchment it.
self.
A writer should, however, use the
ink that suits him best. His ink, his
paper and his pens should be what he
regards as the finest; he should have
the best tools to work with, and then
he will be more likely to turn out
good work. A writer should take
pride in his copy; printers have some
rights which should be respected.
Very many professional writers write
execrable hands and some OF them
miserable creatures are really vain
of their wretched chirography Quite
often an awkward or blind chirogra-
ply covers poor orthography. Some
ness because he fancies that careless
chirography is one of the trade marks
or symptoms of genius. But in most
cases it is lack of training in youth
that is betrayed by loose handwriting.

TEe hIanure Questfon.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph gives his way of making and
spreading manure as follows:
My horse and COW stables have double
doors and the space behind the animals
is wide enough to admit of a cart to take
out the manure. prefer not to clean
out the stables oftener than twice a
week, but if the COW manure is very soft
clean them out every day, or every
second day, according to the circum-
stance of having an abundance or
scarcity of litter. After the manure is
put in the cart, ii there should be any
urine in the channel behind the COWS,
it is carefully baled out and poured on
top Of the load of manure, and by the
time it reaches the field the liquid is
trickling on the ground, but not much
is lost. The dripping manure is then
drawn out of the tail end of the cart and
deposited in some half dozen heaps
with a dung drag, and Immediately
spread. The land thus receives all the
virtue that is in the manure, which
sinks down in the ground, and none of
the gaseous matter escapes up in the
clouds" After the essence of the ma
nure has all sunk in the ground, the
straw remains on the surface as a mulch
Which is an effective agency to improve
land By this method of manurlng get
my corn ground covered during the fall
leached carcass from the barnyard satu-
rated with water and dragged out
through the mud in the spring at busy
time. While manuring my field IN win
ter / keep the manure spread In a
straight line, and put up guide poles at
each end of the line so that if snow
falls viii know where to spread the
manure. I find by experience that ma
nure and snow when IN partnership
make a strong fertilizing firm, which
when dissolved by the sun shows quite
as good n result in the following crop
as any other mode of applying manure.
For more than thirty years 1 have
tied my COWS in the stable every night
in summer just the same as in winter,
without any detriment to a single ami
mall My object in doing this is two
fold. First, 1 make an extra quantity of
manure; second, my cattle are in a safe
place, which relieves me from care and
anxiety, consequently L can sleeu
sOundly. During the winter my horned
stock have only a couple of hours each
day out in the yard-just long enough
to eat their mess of corn stalks and get
a drink. Cows when used to being
stabbed dislike to stay long out in the
cold, and evince great alacrity to gel
indoors where 1t IS warm and comfort
able. My procedure in manipulating
manure by handling it only once anC
placing it where none of its virtues car
be lost, think is much better than the
old fashioned way with the wheel-bar-
row, taking the manure IN the barnyarC
to lay in the drenching rains till spring
then to be handled again, being sOggy
and heavy, with the ammonia pretty
much percOlated through it and lost
Oftentimes it is not convenient to apply
the manure IN some corner of the field
whereOn it is to be spread.

THE true secret of breeds for profit is
in the feed and care given them.
In marketing poultry, the early bird

CLOVER rowen for winter use is valu-

WHEN mating the geese this spring

gander and Embden goose. It grows to
a very large size.
The hen is liter ally an egg machine
her chief purpose being the prOduc-
tion of eggs. Like any other kind of
machine she must have the raw material
with which to manufacture her products.
Her instinct teaches her how to select;

her reach that which she requires, and
everything Will be we'll, and eggs album

BY pouring boiling water over any
kind of grain, and allowing the grain to
remain twenty -four hours, it Will swell
and prove an acceptable change to the
fowls. The soaked grain undergOes a
partial chemical change, contains a
slightly larger proportion of sugar, and
is really more digestibIe. Nothing is
added to the grain by soaking it, but it
will be more readily eaten for some time
than dry grain, though the birds Will re-
turn to dry grain as q preference if fed
too long on that which is soaked.

For the removal of foreign bodies

ties are now recommending the eating
of potatoes only, in large quantities,
cooked in different ways to stimulate

after a few days of the potato diet.
Nothing should be eaten but potatoes
during the time required, which varies
from two to nine days.

Now, when piano is put into an over

moistened. This is kept up all the

Marketing Honey.

If all bee-keepers placed on the
market honey only IN nice clean pack
ages it would be to their financial inter
est. Marketing half finished OF dirty
sections. broken combs, and trading
with your grocer at whatever price he
chooses to fix, depresses the entire
honey market Avoid this and your
customers will always be willing to pay
a reas enable price for a nice article. See
that the sections are all sealed and clean,
and place them in a neat shipping case.
Your honey Will soon make you repu-
tatiOn and there viii be no difficulty in
dispOsing Of the crop in almost any sea-
son. What is worth doing at all IS
cidedIy in grading and preparing honey
for the market. Bottles and glasses con-
tanning extracted honey should be
washed just before sending to market.
They Will then appear clean and fresh.
Best packages for extracted honey is
no doubt q considerable question with
those who have had but a limited ex-
perience in marketing it. During the
past few years we have handled tons of
extracted honey and have had every
variety of package. What we want is a
package that viii not leak and one that
will pack We'll in shipping. There is
nothing SO trying on a wooden vessel as
honey. In granulating it eXpends and
it is most sure to spring a leak. While
we want some glass receptacles, for re-
failing, we shall use the square cans al
most exclusively. Besides the sixty
pound can there is now q twelve pound
square can which is often more cOnve-
nient, and about the right size for sell
ing honey to families Western Bee

Tomato Culture.

Cornell University Of New York,
through It's Agricultural Experiment
Station, has recently issued q bulletin
giving the results of many important
experiments in tomato culture. The
following is a summary Of points es-
tablished:
l. Frequent transplanting of the
young plant and good tillage are nee
essary to best results in tomato culture.
2. Plants started under glass about
ten weeks before transplanting into
field gave fruits from week to ten
days earlier than those started two or
three weeks later, while there was a
much greater difference when the plants
were started six weeks later. Product
iVeness was greatly increased by the
early planting.
3, Liberal and even heavy manuring,
during the present season, gave great
increased in yield over no fertilizing, al
though the common notion is quite to
the contrary. Heavy manuring does not
appear, therefore, to produce vine at
the expense of fruit.
4. The tests indicate that poor soil
may tend to render fruits more angular.
s. Varities Of tomatoes run out, and
ten years may perhaps be considered
the average life OF a variety.
6. The particular points at present in
demand in tomatoes are these: Regular
ity in shape, sOidity, large size, pro
ductiveness of the plant.
z. The ideal tomato would probably
conform closely to the following scale
OF points: YigOr of plant, 5; earliness
10; color of fruit, 5: solidity of fruit, 90
shape Of fruit, 90; size, 10; flavor, s.

THE APIARY.
Give More Room.

AS fast as surplus honey receptacles
are filed, give more room. Negligent
apiarists often lose much by neglecting
to do this in season, thus compelling
their colonies to a very unwilling idle
ness. The apiarists viii bear in mind,
that all small swarms which come of
late should be either aided. doubled, or
returned to the mother colony. With
movable frame hives such swarming may
be prevented by timely destruction of
queen cells. Throughout the entire
swarming season, as we'll as other times,
when breeding young queens, it is i'm
pOrtant to be certain that the hives con
tanning them, succeed in securing a fer
tile mother.

ately measured either by weight OF
keeping qualities.
9. Cooking qualities appear to be
largely individual rather than varietal
characteristics.
10. The following varieties appear,
from the seasons work, to be the best
market tomatoes; IgnOtum, Beauty,
MikadO, Perfection, FavOrite, Potato
Leaf.
ii. The following recent introduc-
tiOns appear to possess merits for mar
ket: Bay State, Atlantic, BrandyWine,

lard, Prelude and Salzer.

tiOns are particularly valuable for anna
