upset arrangements was wonder He

"SHoUTER' FOR THE CHINESE THEATRE
Congress passed law giving g, 100000 to
the exposition Section of that act de-
clares that the appropriation is made on
condition that the fair shall be closed IN
Sunday and that if the gift should be &C
cepted the acceptance should be considered
as an agreement to the condi

congress was without the power of con-
press, in that it seeks to establish a re-
ligious test.
Sunday Not Religious Holiday.
81 cannot concur in that suggestion. The
LEGISLATION with respect to the first day of
the week has nothing to do with the mat
ter of a religious test or the compulsion Of
the observance of q particular religious be-
lief or service. The day OF rest is needful

1t l. "A Two-to-One Decision.

The court stood divided not only as to
the closing question bat more as to the
reason therefor. JUDGE Woods said close
the gates on entirely different grounds
from those adopted by Judge Jenkins in
saving the same thing. The decisions were
given orally. In brief. Judge Woods held
that the government was in absolute pos
session of Jackson park. and had the right
to make whatever rule it pleased concern
ing the. management OF the fair: that the
Sunday closing rule had not been lawfully
repealed. and that it was the duty of the
court to grant the relief prayed for by the
district attorney. He believed that an in
junction should Ice issued. In the course
of his address Judge Woods said: There is
a claim that the local corporation rendered
the park to the United States, but the de-
Tense prefers "a formal denial. 1t is n ques-
ton to be. decided y the act of congress
inaugurating the enterprise.
Congress Controls jackson Park.
"The act shows that the legislature and
the park commiSsi oners rendered the park
to the government. and il il clear that in
so far as il lay in their power the legisla-
ture and the park commissioners dld make
that trade. \ constitutional amendment
was passed enabling Chicago to raise 81,
OOO. 900 for the fair. The adoption of that
amendment corroborates this position that
the government is ill., possession at jackson
mark. Those grounds have been lawfully
devoted to the use Of the government.
The general proposition is that
when the government takes possession OF
grounds within state the law of that
state continue TO have force only through
the United States authorities. Congress
has no control over Lincoln park. 1t has

sm.ll relorrnph Facuit,c..

The four countries in the world which
possess the smallest telegraph facilities
are Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and
Persia. In the first named there are
only 80 telegraph Offices in the whole
country, and but 1,6OO miles of wire.
In the territory Of Paraguay there are
only $40 miles Of wire in operation, and
the entire telegraph service Of that
country requires the service of but %
persons. One line Of 800 miles, owned
and operated by the government, runs
from Asuncion to Paso de Patria, tho
limit of Paraguayan territory, and the
other, $50 miles by the railroad, from
Asuncion to Pirapo. Owing to high
water and campfires in that country
the line is often interrupted for days at
q time. At Paso de Patria the limo
breaks, there being no cable over tho
Alto Parana River, which is three
miles wide. Communication is there-
fore by canoe, which takes messages
over in the morning to the Argentine
side, and returns to the Paraguayan
side at night. An important telegram
Is often delayed 10 or Is hours.

1t is believed that one fruitful
means Of productiveness is the fer
tiliJy of the soil, but this is not the
only means, q fact which should al
ways be borne in,mind in the selec-
tion of seed, and affords a good reason
why each farmer should, SO far as
possible, save his.own seed and thus
know something Regarding it. Mr..
Gof, the horticulturist of the New
York Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion at Geneva, has found, as are
suit of a series ,of.tests. 'thatthe\ Fro
d%uctiveness of any strain. of potatoes
can be materially increased by the
continued sclectionlfor seed of the
tubers from the most productive hills
This involves the selection of seed at
the time of h%arveating, which gives
the opportunity of knowing whether
the yield of the hill is large. or small.
This is by no means q new idea, but
goes to substantiate a claim made
long ago that much 'better.rcsults car
be obtained with grains by making
from year to year a very careful Sc
lection of seed from the best speci-
mems of the most productive stalks.
In the same way seed corn. can be Sc.
cured by selecting the best ears from
those stalks bearing Two or more. ears.

Clover Leaves Enriching Soil.

No matter how carefully clover is
cured, some of its leaves will be
broken off and fall upon tl-o soil.
These leaves are hie hly f%ertilizing,
and IN hot weather they rot with
dews and rains very rapidly. AS
rains carry their soluble fertility into
the soil, it comes in contact with the
c%xcrescences on the clover roots, which
enable the plant to get nitrogen.
Thus the cutting of two or more
clover crops in a season makes the
land richer in available fertility than
IL was in the spring. 1t is this fact
that used to make it good policy in
wheat-growing localities to cut a crop
of clover for hay and another for
seed, and then pillow it for wheat. If
the soil could be made compact
enough, good wheat was always
grown after such preparation.

The Price Of Horses.

that low prices prevail in the horse
market, but at the same time there
is plenty. Of testimony that this does
not much.atfect the better class OF
stock offered. Ala recent Chicago
sale twenty. niue standard bred ami
mails sold at an average of a trifle
over $40 each. 1t is not at all prob
able that it. costs above $l5O each to
produce these, 81 that the margin of
profit is very satisfactory. in spite of
low prices. 1T only emphasizes a fact
that the best profit in growing good
stock is seen when prices in general
are low. When all prices rule high
There may he some margin in growing
almost any sort of an animal, but
when the opposite is the case, and
poor stock goes for a song. one sees
the value in having something good
tc sell. This applies not to horses
only, hut to all kinds of live stock.

Farmers Not nusInes. Men.

AZ xNOU hhhhC 41etls
The trouble is, i think, that must
farmers Ire not business mep, and u
man cannot make. n success many oc-
,cupation unless he adopts business me-
thods and keeps abreast of the times.
Most farmers will .plod along year
in year.out. on the same old lines, eX-
pecting their farms to produce the
same, crops as they did ten years ago,
and without stopping to ask whether
those crops have not Iakcn from the
soul ingredients that are not con-
taincd in the manure they have ap-
piled. For them the experiment
stations are nothing but Il name.
They receive the bulletins per-
haps, but never profit, by them.
They grumble at the prices they re-
cedwe for their crops, but it never
occurs to then to change. They
never keep accounts and % have no
idea whether they have MADE or lost.
Under these circumstances it is
pretty safe to conclude that they
have lost and that they will continue
to lose until the Sheriff takes possess
sicn. And the loss will not stop
there. Unsuccessful farmers are all
ways careless. The tumble-1own
fences, the dilapidated gates, the
tangle Of weeds and bushes, the mn-
painted, ruined out-houses will tell
heavily against them at the sale. and
increase bv tenfold the amount it
would have cost to keep them in re-
pair. - Corresponding New York
