When the man for whom I was wait

President. a..a Fs.wer..

Railroad presidents and bank presi-
dents all seem to have an equal fond
ness for flowers, but some are en-
abled by circumstances to indulge
that fondness TO q larger extent than
others. Samuel Sloan, for instance,
has an extensive hothouse up the
Hudson to draw upon. and the desk
of the president OF the Lackawanna
road is seldom without Its two or
three vases Of fragrant flowers, both
winter and summer, Jay Gould used
to have flowers sent down from Irv-
ington daily for his Office as well as
his bouse. In the budding and bloom
ing months of early summer Chaun-
cey NJ, Depew always has profusion
of flowers about him. C. P. Hunt

who is very fond of flowers. Almost
invariably q bunch of bright hued

Cutting Seed Potatoes.

Cutting seed potatoes for planting has
been prolific subject for discussion, and
many even today hold adverse opinions
concerning the size Of the pieces for
planting. At the Indiana station there
have been experiments conducted for a
long time, and the authorities give as
conclusive facts the results of their
trials. II was found that pieces about
the same size, but some containing more
eyes than others, produced almost the
same size stalk and number Of tubers.
There was really no advantage in in
creasing the number Of eyes to the piece.
Increasing the size Of the piece Of po-
tato, however, gave corresponding in
crease in the number Of stalks. From
this 1t may be judged that small piece
of patato can nourish only one eye, and
increasing the number Of eyes without
increasing the size of the piece Of potato
Is of no avail. The eyes at the seed end
Of the potato act as a single eye, and not
as independent ones capable Of produc-
ing as many stalks as there are apparent
eyes. There is more Importance in the
size in which the potatoes are cut than
in the number of eyes to the piece, The
tubers should be cut uniformly in about
/, 2'or 3-ounce pieces. This may be done
in almost entire disregard to the. position
of the eyes. 1t is uniformity of size in
the pieces that produces the most uni
form and best crop, according to the
experiments conducted at the Indiana
station.

AT.selher shoe For EEor,na.

In England and in many parts Of
Europe proper they have for long
time been using for a horseshoe a
regular curiosity made of COM
pressed leather. At the factory
where they are made three thick
nesses of common cowskin are
pressed into a steel mold, and
while held in position by powerful
clamps are subjected to a bath of
some chemical preparation which
makes them surprisingly hard and
durable. 1t is claimed for these
shoes that they are much lighter and
last longer than those made of iron,
also that split hoofs are unknown in
horses constantly provided with
them. The shoe is perfectly smooth
on the bottom, no calks being re-
quired, the impact causing the sur
face to adhere even on the smoothest
ice. Although, as above stated, the
shoe is hard and durable, it is also
very elastic, thus preventing sprains
and bruises and making the horses
step lighter and surer. Straw treat
ed with a solution unknown to
American and European chemists
has been used for horseshoes for
centuries in Japan. Perhaps some
American genius will outdo England
and the Japs by giving us a durable
paper horseshoe. Who knowsl-

Paris is the head center of the skel.

is very delicate operation. The
scalpel is first called into requisition
to remove the muscular tissues. Its
work being done, the bones are boiled,
being carefully watched meanwhile
that they may not be overdone. Aft.
er this cannibalistic procedure they
are bleached in the sun. Even the
spots of grease are sure to appear
when they are exposed to heat. The
French treat these with ether and
benzine, securing thereby dazzling

English Love For Old Churches.

The English people have a deep
seated love for their old churches and
cathedrals, and they spend money
lavishly for their preservation. In
the last 20 years not less than $53,

toration of these edifces, and this
does not include any sum below $2,-
500. In London alone no less than
"a, 101, 645 has been thus expended.
In addition, $4S, 03s, 915 has been de-
voted in the country at large to the
erection of new churches. Another
notable fact is that most of the money
raised for these purposes has been
derived from private gifts.-Boston

Here is what NJ. Sumner Perkins tells
in The Rural New Yorker about Leg
horns:
"The more acquaintance I have with
the Leghorn the more am inclined 10
believe that she is the fowl for business,
for practical work upon the farm. Par
ties in offering objections to this breed
lay by far too much stress upon the fact
that rs q table bird the Leghorn Is not
in it, Reasoning in a similar way, Ii
might be said that the Jersey COW Is Of no
value, since she is worth little or nothing
for beet, yet Of course no sensible person
will speak thus OF the Jersey, as for the
work for which she is intended she Is
without a rival. Likewise the Leghorn
has been bred for specific purpose
viz, the production of eggs-and it is fair
to Judge the fowl only from this basis.
"Let those that think 30 much Of sub
stance in q fowl just estimate what a
very small proportion of the profit on u
hen comes from the sale Of the carcass.
A couple of dozen eggs will usually rep
resent the entire value Of an old hen in
market, and the Leghorn may be count
ed upon to produce at least four dozen
mere eggs per year than the SO called
market breeds. So obviously this ques-
ton Of market poultry value is unduly
weighed. II the Leghorn is utilized as q
fertilizer only at the close Of her useful
ness, still the breed will come out ahead.
Farmers must have the best laying fowl.

November.
| New ORLEANS, March 27.-The Sc
quel to the great strike which para.
| lyzed this city last November was sup
piled by Judge Billings, of the L, S.
circuit court Saturday in the form of
| an elaborate opinion against the strike
leaders. The title of the suit was the
L, S, VS., the Workingmen's Anal
gamated Council ct al. and it was
brought during the strike. Before the
matters were argued the strike ended.
The decision is full discussion of the
| rights Of labor unions and is one of the
most important rendered in the
I. $ circuit court. 1t is here
given in full; This cause is
. submitted upon application for injunc-
tion on the bill of complaint, answer and
numerous atlidavits and exhibits,
The bill of complaint in this case is
filed by the United States under the act
of congress entitled IAN act to protect
trade and commerce against unlawful
restraint and monopolies," United
States Statutes vol. 26 p. 200 The sub
stance of the bill is that there is gi-
gantic and widespread combination of
the members of multitude of separate
organizations for the purpose of re-
straining the commerce among the sew
eral states and of foreign nations.
Judge Billings after rcciting the
arguments of the defense sums up his
conclusions as follows:
at is conceded that the labor organ
izations were at the outset lawful. But
when lawful forces are put into unlaw-
ful channels, i. e., when lawful associa-
tions take on unlawful purposes and do
unlawful acts, the associations then be.
come unlawful. The evil as well as the
unlawfulness of the act of the defend
ants consists in this, that until certain
demands of theirs were complied with,
they sought to prevent and did prevent
everybody from moving commerce of
the city. 1t is the successful effort of
the combination of the defendants to
intimidate and overawe those who were
at work in conducting and carrying on
the commerce of the country, from
which the court finds their error and
violation of the statute, One of the in
tended results of their combined action
was the forced stagnation of all the
commerce which flowed through New
Orleans. This intent and COM bined ac-
ton are none the less unlawful because
they included in their scope the paral-
vsis of all other business in the city as
we'll For these reasons, ! think, the
injunction should issue"
