Military Rule in Europe.

European civilization to-dayis based
on the idea that war is not only an i'm
minent possibility, but a probability;
and great class in every country has
been trained to look upon blood
shedding as it's proper vocation. The
great prizes are reserved for soldiers:
honors, fame, position, and the mon
arch's favor 60 to the sons of Mars.
The military budget exceeds, many
times over does it exceed, the appro-
priations for public instruction. The
salary OF a colonel is earned by but
few professors. The cost of the pow
der and shot wasted inEurope between
any dawn and dusk would probably
pay the running expenses of all her
public hospitals. In each government,
whether it be constitutional or auto
cratic, the army may with truth be
said to direct legislation; for the leg
islatures, willingly or unwillingly, vote
the appropriations demanded by the
War Department. Even if a legislature
dares to question or protest, it is
quickly frightened into acquiescing by
an alarming report from the minister
for war. Thus the military class con-
trolls government, and has laws pass
ed to suit itself, and prevents all at
tempts to cut down or to abolish it's
power. 1T intimidates the state not
less really, though less openly, than
the Pretorian Guard intimidated old
Rome. Kings and ministers do, in
deed, assure the public. that they
chiefly endeavor and desire topreserve
peace, but in the next breath they call
for larger funds and more recruits.
Kaisers meet and kiss each other on
both cheeks; they extol the sweetness
Of brotherly love; they attend each
others grand manauv-es; and then
they increase thegarrisons along their
respective frontiers. Astrange method

Land needs rest Soil requires STIR
ring and then absolute rest. This is
one OF the secrets Of successful farm
ing. Business men of this century
never take rest, and the farmers wish
to run their land along in the same
way. They demand that it should be
paying all of the time, and it seems
only to be paying when it is growing
something. Now land is often paying
the best interest on itself when it is
resting absolutely.
One great fault of Eastern and
Western firm lands is not lack OF rich
ness and fertility, strictly speaking,
but the lack OF readily available plant
food. The food is in the soil in album
dance, but it is not yet ready for the
plants to use. All vegetables have to
decompose and then pass through a.
chemical process and mix with the
soil to be in the best condition to feed
the plants. This process is performed
three must combine to bring the land
into the proper condition for seeds.
In the fall the corn-stubble field, or
the grass lot is turned over with the
plow, and the wheat sown upon it
immediately. In the first place the
corn has made a heavy demand upon
the strength OF the soil, and has prob
ably exhausted all OF the available
plant food in it. 1t is not reasonable
then to suppose that the wheat can
be grown Immediately on the same
land. More manure and fertilizers?
No, that is not what the soil needs
1t is rest. a two weeks rest will do
more good to it than tons Of fertili-
zers. Plow the soil thoroughly, and
then let it rest so that the action Of
the sun, rain and air may 60 on I'M
interruptedly. The particles of soil
are loosely thrown together, and the
air gets far down into the subsoil.
The rains soak through it, and the
sun warns and heats it by turns.
No time is so good for this as the
September sun and weather. The
sun is still hot, and even during the
early part OF October, and the cool,
moist nights give the necessary
moisture. Decomposition and nitri-
fication go on rapidly, and the soil
improves as rapidly under this rest as
a WORKOUT bookkeeper does when
left in the country to do nothing but
rest in the summer time.
Even grass land is greatly improved
by this process which makes food
available to plants Above all do
not pillow to-day and SOW tomorrow.
The soil is given no chance then to re-
cuDerate.

The highly digestiblc quality of the

at a very early period. When Sergius

least so years B. c.. says of the Brit
ons that there is some good in them
after all, as they produce an oyster.
Sergius had his beds of Baiae and
made profit out of them, as they
were much in request as a prelude to
u banquet, and were esteemed, beside,
for their medicinal virtues "They
nourish wonderfully we are told,
land solicit rest being more healing
than any drug or mixture that the
apothecary can compound.
The disgusting habits of the Romans
enabled them to swallow in some
cases q thousand British oysters at

DIVORCE IN JAPAN.

Speaking OF divorces" said Lieu

ed States navy. It was about twenty
five years ago, just at the close OF the

OF our upper rigging and sprung a

~nuring the Garden.

Is very necessary to keep the gar
ga rich, and if properly managed two
fcrops and sometimes more can be
raised in one season; it is important
that care be taken to fertilize if neces-
sary every year. While commercial
fertilizers can be used to some extent,
vet we'll rOtted animal manure must
be the principal dependence, especially
on the farm. 1t is not good economy
to use fresh manure for two reasons:
One Is that it contains more or less
weed seeds, and the other is that it is
not in an available condition, and
will be OF little benefit until rotted
and it will interfere more OF less with
the preparation of the soil and the
cultivation of the crops. When it can
be done without interfering too much
with the other work, fall is a. good
time to apply manure.
Unless the ground is SO sloping that
it will be injured considerably by
washing during the winter, it is nearly
always best to clear up thoroughly in
the fall after the crops have all ma
tured and then plough deep and thor
ough. Then late in the fall or early
winter, before the ground freezes too
hard to work well, have out a good
application OF manure, having it we'll
rotted and fined and scattering evenly
over the surface and then with a good
harrow or cultivator, working we'll in
to the soil This is a better plan as
there is less loss by bleaching or evap.
Grafton with the manure worked we'll
into the soil, than If left on the sur
face. Ordinarily there is little risk OF
getting the soil too rich in the garden,
SO that a good application can nearly
always be given with benefit; and by
spring a good per cent. of the soluble
portions will be takenup and retain
ed by the soil in a condition to be used
by the growing plants, much more SO
than will be done if the manure IS not
applied until in the spring and with
garden crops 1t is quite an item to
have the manure worked thoroughly
into thesoil.
See to the Farm implements.
Now the working OF farm crops are
over the implements should all be
collected and put under shelter. One
month of exposure now is worse and
will do moreiniury to farm tools than
three in winter. Decay takes place
faster -now than in winter, as the
change of temperature and other con-
ditions are not SO great or frequent in
winter. 1t is not at all times con
venient for the farmer to care for
farm tools at the proper time, and
the time spent in taking care of them
might sometimes be more valuable
than the loss by exposure, but this is
the exception not the rule. Not only
is there a loss by exposure, but many
times these implements are unexpect-
edly needed and are to be hunted up.
which consumes valuable time, and
when found are in a poor condition
for use.

they are properly arranged, the parts

Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. 81 am farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was On a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until 1 had
to seek relief. I consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me SO long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. Ifelt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

Farm Hints.
Do not sell the best pigs.
Do not let cuckie burs mature seed.
Mulch only after the ground is
frozen.
Do not leave cabbage or turnips out
too late.
Be sure there is plenty OF light in
the horse and COW stables. .-..
Head work on the farm is as much
wanted as hand work. r..
Give the colts plenty OF roo m to ex-
erclse If you want bone and muscle.
In nearly all cases the most restless
will prove the most profitable.
Generally now the quicker the hogs
are fattened and marketed the better
the profit.
If the soil is dry, it will be a. good
plan to puddle the roots OF the trees
before setting them out.
Under ordinary conditions there is
no economy in cribbing the corn with
the shuck on.
In commencing to feed in the fall
use what is most easily damaged first
Winter is by far the best time on
the majority of farms to make ma
nure if properly managed.
Manure can not contain anything
not in the food supplied The quality
of the manure depends largely upon
the feed.
When the potatoes are dry is the
best time to select seeds; take from
the most prolific hills.
Before the corn is fully matured is
the best time to select seed for next
years planting.
When fruit or vegetables are stored
il the cellar keep the doors open at
night till cold weather sets In.

Be Gentle With the Cows.

A COW is largely a creature of habit,
and will readily accommodate herself
to the conditions under which she is
placed. It should be borne in mind,
however, that any undue excitement
tends to lesson her butter productive
ness, and therefore should be avoided.
If COW is chased with dog, bounded
here and there, continually bothered
by steers Or mischievous colts, or by
both, and confined at night in small
yard, and devoured by mosquitoes,
a small pail will hold her milk. But
place the. same COW in comfortable
surroundings, amongst companions Of
her own gentle kind, away from the
annoyance of other animals; put her
in clean stable, out of the reach of
flies at milking time, and then turn
her out to enjoy a hearty meal Of
dewy grass, and see if, under these
altered conditions, the same pail will
hold what milk she gives.
Cows should be treated with the ut
most kindness. The man who, on the
slightest provocatfon, will strike or
kick COW, is more deserving of the
same treatment than of being paid
wages. In fact an i'll tempered man or
woman is a decided damage around a
COW yard. Even when a dangerous
COW is found there is no occasion to
raise a disturbance with her Dry her
up and prepare her for the butcher;
life is too short and precious to both
er with a mean COW.
Skill in Feeding.
There is much in a farmer knowing
when a pig is we'll ted. It is very con-
venient to have a pig fed in such a
way that it will not gorge itself, al
though feed is lying by it all the time.
But we are satisfied that there is no
profit in this sort Inconvenience. The
hog gets tired OF so much sameness;
food always at the nose becomes stale.
II fresh at every feeding, and appetite
prompts, it is eaten with a relish. It
requires much practice and skill on
the part Of a farmer to know when a
| hog has the correct ration. The most
successful feeder we know notes the
changes in the weather and it's influence
on the appetite, and portions out the
feed accordingly. On a rising tenn
| perature the ration is decreased, and
vice versa. Failing to do this his hogs
have cloyed when the temperature
ran high, causing loss of thrift and
gain for a few days. This should al
ways be guarded against Nation nal
| StOckman and Farmer.
Charcoal in the Poultry Yard.
"When freely used in the poultry
yard, charcoal is of great value. Il
ground or pounded fine and fed to
the fowls in their soft food" says
one who has had experience. lit ma
terially aids digestion and cleanses
the system of impurities. AS it acts
upon the blood, it acts upon the life
OF the fowl. When the blood is thick
and clotty, a dull, sick chicken will
soon follow. Thin blood always
means vigorous circulation, and on
good circulation OF the blood health
largely depends. Ii your fowls lack
activity they need something to stir
the blood from it's sluggishness. We
have every confidence IN charcoal,
and advise the farmer to barrel some
for feeding to his poultry. Keep it in
q dry place, and when needed, grind
or pound fine and mix with soft food y

Mr.. Blaine's Letter.

There is, indeed, refinement of pre-
else statement in this letter which may
not commend it to unqualified approval
in all republican quarters. Mr.. Blaine
writes to remind Bucyrus and all Ohio
that his famous criticism of the original
Mckinley bill, namely, that it did not
open a market for another bushel of
wheat or another pound of pork, was
uttered before the reciprocity provision
was attached to that measure. This is
the historical truth. 1t was Mr.. Blaine's
criticism of what he regarded as an i'm
perfect bill, although not necessarily
from his point of view bad bill, which
compelled the insertion of the reciproc-
ity clause. BY his bold and outspoken
course in July of last year the secretary
of state perhaps did not accomplish all
that he desired, but he gained a great
deal in the direction contemplated by
his brilliant policy. So Mr.. Blaine now
tells Bucyrus and the whole United
States that having perfected the origin
ally defective measure proposed by
Major Mckinley by the addition of a
feature which has commanded admira-
ton everywhere as stroke of genius,
he became cordial supporter of the bill.
And he goes on to show how well his
idea of reciprocity is working for the
benefit of the American producer, par
ticularly for the American producer of
pork, under the new agreement with
Germany. This concise, dignifed, and
exceedingly adroit manifesto of self
assertion is not the production of
broken-down invalid. 1t marks Mr..
Blaine's Remittance in person, and in
his old form. Democrats, as we'll as re-
publicans, will be glad that the silence
of months is at an end. Large politics
are more inspiring to friend and foe
than small politics, and republican poll
tics with Mr.. Blaine out resembles the
principal agricultural product of the
Bermudas.- York Sun.
