Growing City Populations.

The tendency from country to city life is
among the most notable in modern times,
says the american CuJtiudtor. Large
cities have always existed, but they have
been necessarily only an inconsiderable
part of the industrial population. Until
recent times the demand for food and other
agricultural products has required far
greater manual labor to supply it than is
the fact at present. The great advances in
agricultural machinery, and the improved
methods that secure larger crops in these
DAYS, have released hundreds of thousands
who generation ago could not have been
spared from the farm. At the same time
human needs have grown 80. that the
greater part of these hundreds Of thousands
are now engaged in producing articles to
make life comfortable, aud are serving the
world quite as well as they could be by
growing food or other absolute necessaries
of life.
This tendency to congregate in cities is
showing itself even among farmers who do
not give up their farms. Many are learn
ing to take a winter vacation in the city,
Just as for many years the busy city resi-
dent takes his summer vacation on the
farm or at the seashore. The advantages OF
city life are undoubtedly greatest in winter.
1t is then that all social and intellectual &C
tlVlty IS at lJS nlRnU. SuG so great Is Toe
attraction Of city life. that farmer who,
for one or two winters, hires a city resi-
dence so as 10 give his children better edu-
cational advantages, is apt TO end by CIV
ing up the farm, going into some city bust
ness, and becoming permanently estranged
from country life and thought. This is
tendency that has been at work many
years. There are undoubtedly evils con-
nected with it, What is their remedy2
In the first place farming itself must be
made more attractive. Its isolation and the
long hours of hard work that the old
traditions impose have repealed thousands
who have no real dislike for farm work IN
itself. Much of, farm work may now be
thrown on horse and steam power, so that
it is really not harder than thousands en-
gagged in manual labor are willing to en-
dure In cities, for the sake of the compan-
ionship which city life affords.
So close juxtaposition Of homes as city
life nsceSsitates is not possible nor yet Is it
desirable in the country. 1t really means
to the great majority IN cities much greater
isolation than they might feel In the least
thickly populated country districts There
the scarcity of society is itself bond OF
friendship and mutual helpfuness. In the
city men are thrown together rather than
drawn together, and often under such con
ditions that each is necessarily put on his
guard against the other. If farm homes are
not too distant there may be far more so
liability among neighbors, especially IN the
winter season, than is usually possible
among residents of the same street in cities.
Books, newspapers and magazines in these
days make country life nearly IL not quite

From the Neto York Herald
Bernard B. Miller, "a years old, a tailor,
OF No. 129 Eldridge street. was admitted to
Bellevue hospital eight days ago, suffering
from what the physicians there diagnosti-
Gated as erysipelas. His face and hands
we're terribly swollen and he was in great
agony. He died yesterday morulng.
An autopsy, performed by DR.. Fl. P.
LOOMS, revealed the startling fact that the
man died from sheep rot. 1t Is the only
case Of the kind recorded during the last
fifteen years.
1t appears that Miller was at ork, about
two weeks ago, upon a piece of heavy
wooden cloth, some Of the fuzz from which
got under his finger rails and upon his face.
In few days his face and hands began to
swell. He suffered intense pain, which
finally became so uncomfortable that he pre-
sented himself at Bellevue for treatment.
DR.. LOOMS examined some OF the mans
blood under a microscope and found 1t
teeming with anthrox bacili, the disease
germ found in sheep affected with the rot.
The doctor then rubbed his hand over the
dead mans face and scraped the palm
against piece of glass. On the glass ne
also found numbers Of the fatal germs.
Miller, the doctor said, had been literally
eaten alive by the baciIi The tailor, he
added. probably took the disease from the
cloth which had undoubtedly been woven
from the wool of some sheep afflicted with
the rot.

no feeding can be profitable. While prac-
tical experience shows best what foods
constitute a good ration there is often great
value in the chemical analysis OF foods

Many kinds Of bulbs can be successfully
kept out Of doors by leaving them where
grown aud piling over them straw covered
with earth. This Ia a better protection
against deep freezing than earth alone, the
straw holding confined air between the two
thicknesses of soil, and excluding frost from
the lower one. In the spring the covering
must be removed, to allow air and warmth
70 reach the bulb.
There are two schools Of opposite ex-
tremes in regard to pruning. Que is TO cut
and slash on every occasion. The other
would not cut at all, but leave everything
to nature. In the management OF an apple
orchard pruning is essential. All the weak
shoots, those which seem 20 suffer from
overbearing or from any other cause.

A scientific serial claims moles to be a
blessing to the cultivator. They turn up
and freshen the soil. eat vermin, and so on,
says the writer. This may all be true. The
house fly may be said TO be valuable
scavenger. yet we have TO use fly paper to
get rid of it. II our scientific friend had the
care Of a lawn, and found it torn up like a
plowed field. or had the plants In his flower
bed rooted out aud destroyed, he would
probably forget about the sub-soiling,
insect-devouring habits OF the mole, aud use
strong language.
The Bordeaux mixture, a compound Of
sulphur and lime, has proved itself no y to
fruit growers in many ways. But it prom
ises to be equally efficacious to gardeners.
Experiments with it on celery show that it
is preventive of the rust or
blight that Of late years has proved
very injurious to celery. 1t Is fungus

worse by the heavy manuring thai is a
necessity for growing profitable crops Of
celery. To grow celery free from blight
and with the heaviest maturing possible
makes the business one OF comparative GER
tainty and in the end will reduce the price
Of celery to the consumer.

1t was once the best commendation OF
celery that growed to giant size. We have
learned that the smaller or dwarf varieties
are of better flavor. They cost less to grow,
either in labor or manure, and will produce
more valuable lunches per acre. Celery
will always be SO much of luxury that
quality rather than quantity will bring the
highest prices.

NEXT YEARS GARDEN.

IL will be too late to think next spring
about having a good garden. Fall is the
time to begin TO make sure that it will be
what 1t should be. Manure the land now,
pillow it just before frost locks it up for
winter, and put another dressing of ma
nure on the surface. Thus treated the soil
will in every part be permeated with plant
food and prepared to do its best next year.
A progressive farmer is one who pays
more attention 10 the making of manure
than to anything else on the farm. 1t is not
the adding OF all kinds Of materials to the
manure heap that makes it valuable, but
the preser walton of the material so that it
will not deteriorate or lose any portion OF
its plant food.

Indian voters IN oklahoma-

The fact that the Indian can vote if
he lives ''in severalty" and pays taxes
like any other citizen comes up at odd
times 10 bother new states and terri
tories. In 1859 it raised a great row in
Minnesota. The legislature having en-
acted that Indians. whether on d reser-
vation or not, who had taken certain
steps Ill civilization, such as dressing
like white men and wearing their hair
ditto, should have the right to vote, Ole
Cullen, an Indian agent, promptly cut
the hair OF all those in his charge, put
breeches on them and marched them 70
the polls
Among the humors Of the next cam
paign was a dialogue like this: Heb,
who cut your hair?7 Cullen & Co
Now Judge John Dills and other law
yers declare that the Indians in Oklaho-
ma will be entitled to vote at the com
ing elections. They say the law pro
vides that Indians taking land in sever
atty have the same right Of franchise as
any citizen. and if this opinion be good
law the candidates will have $500 In
dams to buttonhole. If the Indians vote
it is likely to make a great difference in

The Real Vacation

There are few wise Americans who
realize that what the vacation should
bring is not only change of scene but
change of habits. To these the new
doctrine of rest appeals with great
force. They make no attempt to get TO
the fashionable summer resorts, but
shun those places almost as if the
crowded summer hotel were pestilen-
tial They spend hours of each day
under the cool, fitting, noiseless shad-
ows of forest pines, where the wind
whispers the softest and the bees droOe
drowsily among the low white blossoms
of the wood flowers.
To these even the latest novel has no
appeal, and the whole lesson of life for
the moment is to do nothing. to be moth
ing. In the great stiffness of nature
peace and health go softly hand in hama,
soothing the relaxed muscles with
power giving touch; and, in the deli
cious land of day dreams. the brain,
sung almost TO sleep by the hushed
croonings of the cool breeze among the
tree tops, grows young and strong again.
In the quiet of the grand cathedral Of
its maker, even the soul forgets the
battles. the downfalls, the cuts and
scars Of LIES great fight, and become
something the more wholesome, pureT
and stronger.
a week Of such life is worth months
spent in dogcarts, yachts and evening
hops: bat among the great body of those
who hurry away in early summer to the
country and back again in the fall, and
who imagine they have had a summers
rest, such a life is still, unfortunately.
