THE steady falling off of the popul

THE steady falling off of the popula-
ton of Ireland, of course, makes the
growth of the rest of the United
Kingdom appear to be smaller than ii
really it; but even after taking this
fact into consideration it is evident
that in recent years Germany has been
increasing in population at somewhat
higher ratio that Great Britain. Ger

years than any other country oil
Europe except Russia, which has vast
population, high birth rate, and very
little drain from emigration.

How to do Up u Horses Tail.

First, take the tail in the left hand;
with the right hand take hold at the
upper end of a small bunch of hair,
about eight or ten inches long; then
select another bunch of the veyy long
est hair in the tail, about the size OF
a mans finger. With both hands twist
what is left in the left hand three or
four times to the right; then with the
right hand put it under and catch it
with the left hand, and hold it till you
take the long bunch or braid with the
right hand and twist around, or wind
around once or twice, according to the
length of the hair from the opposite
direction. Then take the end of it.
with what you have in your left hand
and the short bunch. twist all together
in a hard twist, double it and find the
band of the braid that you wound
around the tail, and stick it under
twice.
After little practice any farmer, by
observing the above rule. can do up
his horses tail anywhere, on the road
or in the stable, in two or three min
utes, without strings or ribbons, and i,
will stay till taken down. ! have never
seen or heard of better and quicker

THE desire to fly is not confined cx-
clusively to birds, it is found to very
considerable extent among human be-
ings. From the days of Darius Green
down to our time, flying has been the
ambition of large number of ETHEREAL
ly-minded people. To provide the
means of gratifying this ambition has
been the patient and persistent en-
deavor of more than a score of inven:-
ors for the lset fifty years. And Just
at present promises of aerial navigation
are multiplying with such rapidity tina,

seeing within this genertion aerial

II 1.-The best is the cheapest when
buying goods-and it is, within certain
limits-then we may say that the best
certainly is the cheapest when we are
making and selling butter, for it is only
the best butter that will sell for enough
to pay for cost and leave a fair margin
for profit. And in making butter We
have an immense advantage over some
other manufactured goods, because it
costs NO more to make good butter
than it does to make poor; we have to
feed the cows, milk them, raise the

The foolish girls who prefer to
crowd into factories rather than en-
gage in domestic service have had
their little lecture from almost every
newspaper in the country. But it ap-
pears that workers OF the other sex are
no wiser; and that while multitudes in
the great cities are trying to get en-
ployment by importantly or menace,
there are plenty of places waiting for
men who decline to fill them.

EXAMINATION by an expert OF the
bogus coffee imported from Germany
discloses that it is made of rye or
wheat flour, peas beans, little sugar
and fiavoring and coloring matter, and
perhaps slight admixture OF pulver-
lied coffee. Like the imitation coffee
of home manufacture, its resemblance
to the natural coffee bean is almost
perfect, and when mixed with the gen.
uine article it cannot be detected.

FROM the moment that the catching

EDUCATION and culture are by no

It is not good policy to cool cream after
it is ready to churn by the introduction Of
ice in the churn.
If salt is properly applied, butter will
not absorb more salt than is necessary to
preserve it through the summer.
One method of getting rid of white
specks in butter is by washing it. These
white specks are the cheese elements and
are heavier than the butter "A cream
strainer will not remove them.
Cows will make more butter by setting
their milk separate, and churning the
cream separate, but in the practical dairy
mans operations it will hardly pay to
make the separation. 1t will not make
much difference unless there is mixture
of breeds of cows.

Changing Conditions of Seed.

1t is generally conceded that it Is
often advisable to get seed from con-
siderable distance, and especially that
grown north of the locality where the
planting is to be done. What is the
the advantage Of the North-grown seed
If not that nature is more constrained,
and thus puts more vitality into seeds
than she would under more favorable
conditions. We can see this law illus
trated by seeds grown in the same
neighborhood. Always, if possible,
get seed that is as vigorous rs possible,
but grown on poorer land than your
own. If you reverse this, and take
seed grown on extremely rich land and
put it on thin soil, it will not grow as
we'll nor produce as well Us that which
for successive years has been bred to
poor fare. We know of II case where
a farmer who was planting beans in a
field got out of seed when he had only
a few more rows to plant. His wife
found some of the same kind of beans
which she had grown the year before
for homo use in a rich spot of the
garden. All through the season these
garden beans were inferior in growth
to the others. This must be II dis
couraging thought to a farmer who is
allowing his land to get poorer every
year. If he grows his own seed grain
it cannot produces as much as it would
If grown first on poor soil, and ther
sown on land that is highly fortified
and cultivated. But even poor, thir
seed may with good conditions be de-
veloped into that which is plump ant

THE FARM AND HOME.
HOW ANY FARMER MAY MAKE
TIMES" BETTER.
It Is Believed to BE a simple Matter
Changing Condition of Seeds
Proper Changing Is I'M
dOubtedly Beneficial
How to Make "Times" BETTER.

The farmers of the country realize
to-day that it is useless to raise big
crops unless they have their share of
legislative representatives to see that
laws protecting their interests are en-
acted. 1t is not a fact that failure OF
crops or poor crops is the cause OF
hard times; for Kansas farmers raise
corn to burn and yet remain hard
pressed. The people do not believe in
those days that r-production' or
big crops necessarily makes hard times,
and that failure in crops produces
the same result The masses have
taken the hint. and are not to be hood
winked along that line any longer.
They see that this deplorable condi-
ton OF affairs was brought about by
iniquitous legislation, which distributes
the burdens unequally. They must
turn their attention to politics and
shape legislation SO they may be en-
abled to see and enjoy the fruits Of
their labor.
We wish to suggest however, that
congress and the legislature have both
adjourned, and as there is time for a
little thought on other subjects it
would be well to reflect for the purpose
OF discovering other ways to remove
the depression" We will name a
few:
If you ever spend dime a dollar
or hundred dollars for liquor, tobacco
or anything else that does not benefit
you, or rather Injuries you. reflect
soberly and sensibly and stop the use
| less expense. That money saved would
pay the taxes of which you complain
and leave you with the "weights laid
| aside, ~ prepared for more vigorous
run in the great race OF life. If per-
son will think so, he can do without a
great many things he is accustomed to
buying. In other words, IA good rule
to adopt is, TO always see that the in
come exceeds the expenditures. II
the crop is light, cut the expenses
down accordingly. AS the surplus in
creases by these savings, though they
may be small. an increased leverage
is gained. making it still easier to ac-
cumulate. But if person spends his
money as he goes, or stays in debt all
the time, he is deprived of all leverage
and has burdens Gnterest) resting up
on him in addition. There is no doubt
but what great many of the ills OF
which we complain are directly tracea-
to a lack of economy, and to II .tOottsk
extravaganza, which could and shoulG
be avoided. st. Louis Agricultural
