An Un-American Custom.
Cadillac News Express.

Cadillac News Express.
One deplorable, un-American custC m
which exists and is increasing in this coun-
try is that of the wearing of livery by the
servants of individuals and families. There
was a time in the history of our country
when such an evidence of servility and in
feriority would not have been endured, but
that time seems to have gone by. The SER
wants of the aristocrats of other countries
wear the livery of the family by whom they
are employed, and that is reason enough for
many soft-headed American apes of foreign
customs why their American servants should
also wear livery. The custom is humiliating
to our national pride and demoralizihg to the
individual victims of it. 1t is regarded as
an honor to wear the uniform of our coun-
try, for the uniform represents the dedica-
ton of the wearer to the services of his
country, and marks him as defender of its
people. And there are uniforms worn in
other public occupations which indicate the
wearer as the possessor of certain authority
and one charged with public duties and the
guardian of certain public interests, all of
which are honorable in all respects. But
the wearer of livery is the servant of an in
dividual, and the garments in color and cut
are intended to make that fact known. The
blankets on the horses and the ornaments on
the carriages and harness are made to cor
respond with the coat on the back of the
livered servant, and the horses and car
riages and the dog under the carriage and
the liveried servants on the carriage are
items of a snobbsh outfit which contributes
in equal degree to the self-glory of the family
to whom the outfit belongs. The growth
of the livery-wearing custom is an evidence
OF the gradual weakening and loss of the
liberty-loving spirit upon which the form Of
our government is founded and the per-
petuity of which is necessary TO sustain it.

Potatoes-Amounts of Seed.

Bulletin No. 90, of the Michigan Expert
ment Station, is on Potatoes: Amount
Seed"
1.-THE conclusion arrived at is that the
potato growers of Michigan do not plant
enough seed. Our own experiments, cor
roborated by those of other stations, go to
show that for ordinary distances the half
potato gives better results than any small
or amounts. For weak growing varieties, or
varieties having smaller tubers, even a
larger amount of seed will be found more
profitable.
q "a careful investigation shows clearly:
"Ftrst, That an increase in seed within
ordinary limits produces marked increase
both in total yield and in marketable
yield.
Second, That an increase in seed, from
one eye up to the half potato, produces an
increase in the net value of the crop; but
the increase yield from the whole potato
over the half potato is not sufficient to cover
the cost of the greater amount of seed"
The above conclusions are the result of
hundreds of experiments, extending over
many years. They practically agree with the
results of twelve other stations as compiled
in the bulletin. 1t would seem that such a
large number of experiments under such
widely varying conditions as are furnished
by the thirteen states in question, would
practically settle the question of the best
amount of seed potato to plant.
In reality the whole question is not what
gives the greatest yield, but what amount
gives the greatest profit. When seed is high
in the spring it will generally be advisable
not to plant whole potatoes at ordinary dis
tances, but when they are cheap it will gen.
orally pay.
Since it has been proven that the yield
is more in proportion to the weight of seed
planted than the number of eyes, the cut
ting out of the eyes for seed, common in
some parts of the state, is to be strongly
condemned.
SO also, the use of small potatoes for seed,
not only lessons the profits the first year,
DuI Ill lOllOWcu lOI ocllco VI years tcluo
towards rapid deterioration, in accordance
with the laws of heredity.
The larger amounts of seed gave more
vigorous growth of vines, and on the ''whole
tuber" plats the crop matured five to ten
days earlier than on the ''single eye" plats.
The data from which the above conclu-
sions were drawn is to be found in Bulletin
%, before mentioned, and can be had free
by sending request for the same to

A Friend of the Farmer.

The hop growers of Otsego county
have discovered what naturalists have
long been trying to make farmers under
stand-that skunks, instead Of being
their enemies, as they formerly supposed
are among their most useful friends. AS
one hop grower expressedit, Nowadays
we protect skunks as carefully as we do
song BIRDS"
Hop yards, it appears, are infested by
certain kind of grub which gnaws off
the tender vines at the root, and this
grub is the favorite food of the skunk.
AS a general thing the slzunks sally
forth at nightfall, but now and then they
are to be seen at work in broad daylight.
The proceeding is an interesting one to
watch.
The skunk begins his quest on the edge
of the yard, where he cocks his head over
hill of hops and listens. If grub is
at work upon one of the four trailing
vines, his quick ear is sure to hear it. AT
once he begins to paw up the earth, and
presently he is seen to uncover the grub
and swallow it with unmistakable relish.
Then he listens again, and if he hears
nothing proceeds to the next hill. And
so he goes on till he has had his fill.
Now that the sllunks are no longer
molested, they have become compare
lively fearless Sometimes, we are told,
they keep up their operations even while
the cultivator is driven between the
rows.-Cor. New York Tribune.

w. r. Close, of Byron, Shiawassee couI-
ty, one of the most extensive wool buyers in
this section of the state, returned from Bos-
ton the other day, having gone there for
the purpose of investigating the condition of
the wool market and future prospects. He
tells the Corunna Journal that the an,
nouncement that the President is to call an
extra session of congress early in the fall to
revise the tariff has knocked the bottom out
of wool, the price having declined four
cents. The market for this seasons clip
looks decidedly discouraging for the wool
grower. Mr. Close has purchased consid-
cradle wool i'm Indiana, early in the season
and says it would not bring now in Boston
the price paid for it at the time of purchase.
The ''good times" promised by free traders
under Democratic rule, with free wool and
tariff on sugar, tea and coffee are in sight.

Christ Church.
From The Press.

From The Press.
Last Sunday, was a memorable occa-
sion for Christ Church of this city-the
first visit of Bishop Davies to the parish
since the reconstruction of the church
edifice, and the first presentation by its
Rector, Rev. Sherwood Roosevelt, of a
class for confirmation. 1t was glad day
for Mr.. Roosevelt, who brought forward
as the fruit of his first year in Owosso
a class of siXty-seven for conhrmation-a
number more than double any previous
confirmation class in the history OF the
parish. This great result has been
brought about by Mr.. Roosevelt's earnest
work, in great part by bringing into the
church communion large numbers whose
home naturally was there, but who were
scattered here and there with no church
affiliations, or were careless or indifferent.
These wanderers Mr.. Roosevelt sought
out, and like a faithful shepherd has
gathered them into the fold. This, add
ed to faithful parish work among his
people, has given a glorious result UNI
equaled in any other interior parish In
hhe state.
The class embraced wide range of
ages and was noticeable for the great
number of adults and males-the phrase,
"only women and children" having no
application.
Mr.. Roosevelt has also organized Trim
hy Mission in West Owosso, which is
very fourishing.
Bishop Davies expressed his gratifica-
ton and surprise at the work accom-
plished in the parish in one year the
Beautiful church edifce and the large
confirmation class-and commended the
zeal of the faithful pastor.
Choirmaster Zimmerman handled the
organ with skill and grandeur, Frank
Rowell's solo was fine, and the vested
choir rendered their music with excel
lent voice and appreciation.
The Altar Guild adorned the chancel
with lovely flowers, and the church was
filed to seats in the aisles with devout
and interested congregation.
