JapAnese Etiauette.

Travellers in Japan tell OF the uncon-
cern with which Japanese will take q
bath in full Publicity, and the custom
has impressed foreigners as immodcst.
An Englishinan who has not been long
in the country says there Is really
nothing immodest In the promiscuous
bathing OF men, women and children
from q Japanese point Of view. With
them cleanliness u the object sought
for, and the etiquette of the bathroom
differs from the etiquette OF the parlor.
With Europeans, he says, the attitude
OF walters is only permitted when the
music Is played II Is something like
this with the Japanese batherA When
the necessary operation Of washing or
doing other work requires II. to strip be-
comes o duty. On the other hand, q
Japanese woman would scorn to appear
decollete. To her eye our bathrooms are
an establishment, and the exposure OF
the person for display Is incomprehensi-
BILE. This writer thinks that the Japan
ese are not excelled by their western
brethren in modesty.

THE BAKING POWDER GIRLS.

stopped.

The baking powder concern that tried
recently to gets it's baking powder in the
Kitchens hereabout through women can.
vassers has got into trouble. In some
sections it has been stopped by the
courts because itw found that its state.
ments in reference to other powders
were libelously false. It will be remem.
bered that the scheme was to send wo-
men from house to house TO defame
other brands and falsely charge that
they are adulterated. This charge being
untrue, the women were performing an
illegal act for which they were liable to
arrest and imprisonment. The character
of baking powder that would be sold by
men who. for mercenary purposes, will
employ women to do such dishonorable
and dangerous work as this, can be inn
agined.
There is more serious difficulty, how
ever. These agents personally and in
advertisements assured the public that
all the ingredients of this newpowder
were printed upon the label of each can,
and sold it upon this guarantee. Some
persons have learned from the govern.
ment reports that this powder has in it's
composition other things, notably lime
and salphuric acid. 1t is not pure
powder, and being sold by means Of false
statements and Misrepresentation, its
agents are rlready in trouble. A false
label upon any package makes the sale
OF it illicit by the retailer and wholesaler
alike. Consumers who have bought are
returning the powder to the dealers and
the dealers are shipping quantities of il
| buck to the manufacturers.

The remedy for the farmer seems to
be to reduce the cost of production as
much as possible, by striving to pro-
duce the greatest amount with the
least labor, and to carefully watch the
de m ands Of the market for such prod
ucts as it is not oversupplied with, and
learn how to produce them Of the best
quality at the least cost. With this,
let him abandon the trying to grow
such crops az are not adapted TO his
soil, or As he does not understand the
management of. and thus avoid help,
ing to fill the market with the inferior
products which must be sold at unre-
munerative prices Let him diversity
his crops more by striving to produce
as much as possible Of that which he
will need for home consumption, and
if favorable season gives surplus to
sell, look upon that as profit. no mat
ter how small the price ut which it
sells. That which he grows himself
and uses in his own family will be just
as profitable at low price as if it could
have been sold for twice as much. -

ABOUT EARLY SEEDING.
Importance of Getting the Seed Into Soil
Under Favorable Conditions.


Under Favorable Conditions.
One of the principal advantages in
getting the spring crops in early is
that the plants, having better oppor-
tunity to get well established, are in
much better condition to withstand the
hot. dry weather of summer. Plants
that are stunted in the early stages Of
growth never fully recover, and seed
sown under unfavorable conditions will
nearly always send up a weak I'M
thrifty plant, whose defects after treat
ment will entirely overcome
With nearly all spring crops, es-
pecially in the field, earliness is quite
an item in securing the best growth
and yield, yet it is rarely good economy
to risk slow, poor termination of the
seed and an unthrifty start to grow in
order to plant early. Allowing seed to
remain in the ground or planting under
unfavorable conditions, so that they
germinate slowly, causes more or less
loss of vitality that, when the best
growth and yield are desired, it is best
w uNOlts ~ liNlCi Npi0lOlOho ~
fair profit is realized good yield is
necessary and in many cases fair
| yield can be made to return fair profit
while a light yield will be made at a
| positive loss. Hence it is importan t to
take every precauton to secure the
best growth and yield in order to lessen
the cost and increase the profits.
These things are important Good
seed carefully planted in thoroughly
prepared soil so as to insure quick,
vigorous termination and growth and
good even stand. A failure in either
of these respects will affect the yield.
At the start it is best to take every
precaution to plant under as favorable
conditions as possible, and, with such
crops as require it, give thorough cul-
tivation.
In order to lessen the necessity for
attempting to work the soil wet or to
plant under unfavorable conditions the
best plan is to make all of the prepar-
atoms possible in advance. Get every
thing ready SO that when the soil is in
condition to work the seeding may be
pushed along rapidly. 1t is only in eX-
ceptional cases that it will pay to at
tempt to work the soil wet. 1t will
nearly always pay to delay the work a
few days until the soil is sufficiently
dry. With good drainage in the spring
one or two days will make very con
siderable difference. One working Of
the soil when wet will so injure il
that whole seasons work afterwards
will fail entirely to remove the effect
planting the seed with the soil not il
good condition will seriously affect the
growth and yield of the crop.
Sow or plant as early as possible, bu
have the soil in a good filth, and ge
the seed into the soil under favorable
conditions. This is the first step to
wards securing a good yield, and mucl
depends upon the way it is done. st

Beautiful Insect Which Is Said to Thrive
Grape Vines.

a Beautiful Insect Which Is said to Thrive
on Grape Vines.
This has often been mentioned as an
enemy to grape vines, usually in con-
nection with Alypia octomaculata, an
allied genus, on account of the very
close resemblance between the Larvae
OF the two moths.
The moth of the Eudryas grata is
among the most beautiful of the Lepi-
doptera. with its pleasing contrasts of
white, soft brown, purplish, green and
yellow. Perfect specimens-unless bred
are seldom seen, however, as it is a
night flier.
The eggs and larvae are also very
pretty, the former being delicately
sculptured and the latter ornamented
with alternating bands of blush and
red orange, the blush bands marked
off and the orange bands dotted with
black
The food plant of the larvae is usually
grape, varied occasionally by ampelop.
Sis or Virginia creeper.
1t is seldom abundant enough to do
much injury, though, according to DR..
Lintner, Alypia often proves a serious
pest while Eudryas is rare Here, in
Iowa, Alypia is very seldom met with

Cultivation of Forests.

A forest is like any other crop in its
growth and development. After it
reaches maturity it begins to decay,
and if not interferred with, growth and
decay will just about balance each
other, and no progress or increase of
crop can follow. The true way is to
cut the timber US fast rs it is fit, thin
ming exactly the right distance apart
as may be, permitting the young tim.
Der to come as fast as the natural tim.
Der is removed. 1t would take many
years to get forest in just the right
condition; but when once fairly
started, no other known crop can be
made to yield so large a profit Farm,

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

WITH fair to good draught horses
selling in Chicago at $l35 to $500 and
in good teams at S225 to $2S7 each, it
appears that there is still money to be
made in raising good horses.
THERE is money in squashes. They
will sell at S25 to $50 per ton and are
easily raised for IS to $40. Their re-
moval from the farm impoverishes it
less in proportion to the returns than
almost any other vegetable crop.
THE price Of farm land is going to be
higher. The unoccupied lands of Uncle
Sans domain will soon tie used up, and
the people are growing land hungry.
Those who can hold on had better not
sacrifice in order to sell. This is true in
a general way; of course, it is not Of
universal application.
THE large farm has had its day and
has got to GO Taxes are too high to
pay on unproductive lands. Small
areas and the intensive system of farm
ing will do more to elevate the con-
dition of American farmers than I'M
limited legislation. Intensive farm
ing calls for close attention to all mat
tiers, which only good head can give.

Corn, hay and idleness Tor moderate

but soft, short winded and liable to

buy bran and feed them as much as
possible on bran, oats and clean,
bright wheat straw, with a little corn
and hay for variety, and give them all
the exercise possible. 1t is unkindness
to keep a horse in idl eness.
