4 Farmers Request.

From the Warren County IN ] Democrat.
A Republican farmer visited one
of our grocers last week and among
his other purchases was a dollars
worth of sugar. The merchant
put up the usual amount, twenty
pounds, and after sizing up the
package the farmer said: "Just
take out about half of that" The
merchant after he had recovered
from his surprise asked the reason.
and the farmer said: ''If [ take

Cost of Making Chinese Christians.
Rev. Mr.. Hudson, of New York,
thinks that the amusement of the
public about Chinese Sunday
schools is i'll timed and misdirected.
He quotes several hopeful Chris
tan converts as the result of the
school in his church. One in par
tlcular, Chang Kun Sing, who has
returned to his native land as a
missionary, and is supported by
his church at an expense s12O per
year. The average cost of main
tanning missionaries IN China, he
says, is $1,000 a year each, and
the baptist church supports forty
eight OF them. During the year
past Chang Kun Sing has made as
many converts-viz., sixty, as all
the other missionaries combined.
Changes converts are made at an
average cost of 50 apiece. The
others cost an average of $50 each.

The Value Of Trees to Agriculture.

An.eminent English authority writes
rs follows as to the value of trees in pro-
tecting land and stock: When planta-
lions and strips of woods of consider
able extent are so arranged as to OBJ
struct the wind in its course, shelter is
afforded both to cultivate and pasture
land, and in appearance as well as pro-
ductiveness the character of the estate
undergoes thorough change. It can
not be doubted by any one acquainted
with the losses which are frequently
sustained on high-lying farms from nip
ping frosts and whitening winds, that in
cold, late districts shelter is of the
greatest value to the farmer. Various
kinds of crops are liable at the time Of
Towering to be seriously injured, if ex-
posed to strong winds, and frequently
cereal crops, which are just beginning
to ripen, suddenly assume premature
whiteness after being loosened about
the roots by severe wind-storms; the
crop is imperfectly developed, and the
farmer is the loser. Shelter will to
very large extent prevent this evil.
Then at harvest it has been found that
q AAAO Va pA0ueotAOuSs AuAAiAS
to the wind, though at a distance of
half a mile. has materially diminished
the loss from shedding. Along the
eastern coast of Great Britain a proper
increase of shelter would not fail to add
several bushels of grain to the yield per
acre.
The value of shelter for pasture stock
Is no less deserving of careful consider
alton. It is we'll known to veterinary
practitioners that cattle grazing in high
and exposed situations are generally
more disposed to consumptive and cut
aneOus diseases than animals pastured
on low and sheltered farms. The past
urage, even when sheltered in very par
tial manner, is both earlier and more
nutritive than If exposed to the full eff
fects of unchecked winds, and in their
haunts focks rarely fail to indicate the
situations which are really benefited by
plantations, either near at hand or at q
considerable distance. It appears,
therefore, conclusive that the relation
that exists between forestry and agri-
culture is very intimate one.

The masher seems to have been
recognized as type among our social
eccentricites. and so long as he simply
airs his vanity he is harmless. But it
appears that there are varieties OF
the species which are not quite so free
from harm. A more despicable per-
sonage than the ''masher" who flirts
in cars and on the street with unwary
married women with view to black
mailing them afterward it would be
hard to imagine. Yet it appears that
such creatures exist. The re-estab-
lishment Of the whipping-post would
be necessary before society could make
the punishment fit the crime in their
cases.

THE Census Bureau has summed
up the immigration statistics of the
last fifty years, showing that within
the half century nearly $4,000, 600
foreigners have landed on our shores
in addition to the tourists who came
with intention to return. During
that time the conditions have COM
pletely changed. In the pioneer days
the journey from Europe took more
time, more money, and more courage.
Hence it could only be undertaken by
the better class Of peopi., whose &C.

poorer both in purse and mental

here yet, but they are accompanied
by paupers, dependents, delinquents,
and those physically or mentally in.
capable of earning living for them.
selves. Our immigrants now include
many Anarchists and criminals and
members of secret societies which
have murder in their creed. The
great majority of the arrivals now are
unskilled in work and below the
physical standard of their predeces-
sors. Not only do they depress wages,
but they fill the almhOuses and the
penitentiaries. No one can deny that
the continued influx Of such people is
dangerous to the community.

ONE popular fallacy in connection
with: fish may be hoticed,s namelE.the
.Qft-repeated assertion that the eating
of that particular food increases brain
power. No one who has studied the

ton. A man might eat a huge por-
ton of fish every day of his life, and
on the day of his death, if the guam
tity of phosphorus. che brain -inyig-

ible,- it would not amount to more
than might probably suffice to tip a
couple of lucirer matches. Commu-
mites have existed that lived almost
solely on fish; but these ichthyopha-
gistS were certainly not famous fol-
intellectual attainments. No fishing
community has given to the world a
great man. Men of mark-pOets,
preachers, lawyers, warriors, philOso-
pliers and physicians-have emanated
in Scotland, at any rate, from all
classes except the fishing class.

If your heart is not in an under
taking you might as well give it up.
There is nothing so provocative OF
failure as faint-heartedness. Be the
undertaking great or small, it will
certainly prove futile, unless prose-
cuted with an earnest ambition. 1t
takes very little to discourage the
average individual. very little to turn
him from a set determination, yet his
life and happiness may depend upon
his ability to succeed in the under
taking he contemplates. Persons
labor under many different incentives
and from widely varied ambitions,yet
there are few individuals who enter
heart and soul into the tasks they
assign themselves. Still this is an
essential feature of all enforced effort.
No achievement is possible that is
not coveted.
