awards to private firms for the con.
struction of men.of.war and encourage
the building of vessels suitable for con-
version into war ships. These yards,
with the establishment of plants of
sufficient capacity, with their skilled
wurkmen, are as beneficial in defense
of the coast as forts scattered along the
seaboard. BY the establishment of a
bureau of commerce in the proper ex
ecutive branch of the Government, the
Navy Department would tend greatly to
the successful control Of the commerce.
At present the merchant marine has no
special representative, as in England,
in the highest councils Of the nation,
but the various interests drawing on
the subject are scattered through the
different departments, and is left with
out that fostering care 1t so much
needs. No one seems to take sufficient
interest to propose legislation neces-
sary to its welfare or care of its sea-
men, and from the beginning Of the
civil war up to the present time Con
gress has not passed single act
for the relief of the overburden-
ed merchant marine, but during that
same period more than hundred laws
have been enacted in aid of internal
transportation. In fact from the earliest
periods of American history the mer.
chant marine has never received the
attention bestowed upon other grea
national industries.
There is no political machinery fol
concentrating the power of Government
in this vast interest. The Government
should make some proviso in regard tc
the difference in wages paid for seamer
to that paid on foreign vessels, to en-
able American merchants to compete
with foreign shipowners. This could b,
accomplished by governmental sup
ply of a certain number of men as
naval reserve to each and all vessels
suitable for commission for naval use
in times of necessity, and allow liberia
allowance for carrying the mails. Ii
this way the Government would insure
in full return for the moneys paid out
as every naval war has shown the ad
vantage of having large number o
merchant seamen from which to recruit
the regular service, and the value o
men of war inprovised from the ccm
mercial marine has been demonstrated
more than once Legislative action i
slow and uncertain upon this subjec
and public opinion does not seem t.
awaken to full reality of the impor
lance to be derived from control o
the commerce of the seas; but if tn,
above should be followed out, it is onl,

GOOD MILK.

The question is often asked: "What
constitutes good milk" Milk contains
3 1-2 per cent of fat and twelve per
cent of solids is considered good
milk. A further qualification is that
it must be the product of healthy COWS
MIXED into clean vessels, and not ex
posed to bad odors. The milk from
the station herd ranges from 3 to 7
per cent fat the degree of richness,
however, does not alone measure the
value of the COW, as one giving milk
with low per cent of fat may make
up in quantity what it lacks in rich
ness, while COW giving small guam
tity may make it good byits exceeding
richness and persistency in flow.
There is also u difference in flavor,
some being very pleasant and appeti-
zing, and that of others has an unplea-
SAINT taste, and still other milk will
have almost no flavor. Milk also
differs in its keeping qualities, some
souring quickly, while other milk will
be very slow to sour Farm, Stock
and Home.

CARE OF YOUNG TURKEYS.

A young turkey will, one year with
another, bring large profit after
paying for food consumed, and there
is more certainty of a good price
than on any other farm product.
Almost any farmer can raise from
twenty to fifty every year. Turkeys
are rowing in their dispositions, and
do not stay around the house, as do
ducks, geese and other poultry, al
though those reared with hens are
more inclined to do SO. The best
place to keep the young ones at night,
with hen, is in large box, with a
door at the front, which drops down
for a feeding platform. Cover the
bottom with some cut hay or straw,
and fasten them in at night A dry
goods box is just the thing; foomy
enough for them, so that if the early
morning is wet or cold, they may be
left inside the box. Sometimes, in
inclement weather, leave them there
all day. Two hens, If they agree, may
have their broods together, and thus
save extra boxes. - American Agricul-

VALUE OF RYE AS GREEN MANURE.

VALUE OF RYE AS GREEN MANURE.
Rye is not considered of any great
value as green manure for plowing
under. 1t is worth but little more than
straw would be, but it is better than
nothing sometimes. The practice of
green manurfng is not SO well adapted
for poor soils as for those in better con-
dition, as the effect on the land is in
proportion to the value of the crop
turned under Thus, it is better for
the preservation of fertility than for
restoring it when the land has been
exhausted. 1t gives nothing to the
soil but what is taken from it, except
whatever may be taken from the at
mosphere. / New York Times.

Side Whiskers Scarce.

Whiskers worn at the side of the
face grow scarcer and scarcer. Sena-
tor Washburn of Minnesota is about
the only man in the Senate who cuts
his beard in this way, and the two
most striking in the House perhaps
are John L. Caine, the Mormon, and
Blanchard of Louisiana. One of the
queerest sets of side whiskers that ever
came to Washington were those of
Don M. Dickinson of Detroit. They
were the color of tan bark and they
made their owner look like a college
professor rather than the able lawyer
and statesman that he is. Dewitt
Talmage, the preacher, wears Presby-
terian side whiskers. "Rising Sun"
Morse prides himself on the luxuriant
brown hair which grows on the sides
of his face, and old Senator Morrell
has the adorned Senator's face.
John Sherman used to wear side whis-
kers, but he discarded them genera
ton ago. General Schofield, the head
of the army, has white burnsides, and
Gladstone, the great English Premier,
shaves only his lip and his chin. -

TRANsPnANTING TREES.

Trees may be transplanted in the
fall after the leaves have fallen, or in
the spring before the buds have swollen
and started to grow. Any time
when the trees are dormant is fit for
the purpose. Seeds of trees should be
sown in bed of fine soil, in rows two
feet apart and foot apart in the rows.
They are kept free from weeds as
other plants are, and may be trans
planted when year old, in the spring.
The tap root is cut off and only the
side roots left. These are trimmed q
little, and the trees set in the ground
with the roots in as natural a position
as when they were taken up. The
roots must not be permitted to dry.
Evergreen trees may be transplanted
in the winter by preparing the new
ground for them in the fall, where it

in the fall or before the ground is
frozen, and the long roots are cut.
The trench is filled with leaves with
some loose soil on them. The holes
for the trees are filled in the same
manner, and when the ground about
the trees is frozen thew are lOOsenpd
and moved to the new places. The
trench around the roots is then filled
with fresh soil kept for the purpose,
unfrozen, and earth is heaped about
| the trees and covered with leaves or
brush until the spring; then the loose
soil is well worked down around the
roots and the trees grow right on.
Large trees may be moved safely in
this way.-New York Times.

MAKING THE FARM PAY.

In spite of the general depression
and low price for farm products, some
farmers manage to hold their heads
above water and even put by little
for rainy day How they contrlve
TO do this is wonder to their neigh
bors who are not close observers. The
question is, however, easily answered.
There are no leaks on those farms.
If field will not raise satisfactory
crop of wheat some other crop IS tried
on it until yield is obtained which
will pay expenses.
These farmers go over their stock at
this season and Gull out all that are
undesirable. The poor mixer, the un-
promising calves, the inferior pigs,
the non-laying hens and the super
fiuous males of all kinds are sep
arated from the rest of the stock and
fed systematically for market.
The stock which are to be kept are
fed on suitable ration, which will pre-
pare them to resist the cold of winter.
Their quarters are cleaned out and
made ready SO as to lessen the discom-
forts of the weather as far as possible.
The prudent farmer has learned that If
his stock be properly sheltered and
cared for the cost of feeding will be
considerably lessened.
Farm implements are putaway when
no longer needed, instead of being left
to rust in the fields. Fences are re-
paired at once, so that all injury to or
by the stock is prevented. In short,
the leaks are stopped. The farmer
has applied to his work the same rules
and principles by which the merchant
and manufacturer are guided in

Poverty In India.

Poverty is the most striking fact in
Indie. In the streets of the cities the
rich are rarer than in the streets of
East London. In the country the
villages consist of huts of almost uni
form smallness, and the fields are
worked by farmers, most Of whom are
to poor to do anything but scratch the
land.
In one city we went from house to
house among the poor. A common
friend gained us welcome and we
were everywhere received with cour-
tesy. One house which we visited was
entered directly from the street.
There was neither flooring, fireplace,
windows nor furniture. A few embers
were burning on the mud floor, on
which only is it lawful for pious per-
son to eat, and few pots were stand
ing against the walls, with, if I remem-
ber rightly, one chest.
1t was holiday morning, and the
family which in India may include
grandfather, sons, daughters-in-law
and grandchildren, was gathered.
The men had slept in the open warm
air, and had come in to be served by
the women with the morning meal OF
few ounces of grain and butter.
After the usual courtesies, and when
we had told them about ourselves, the
talk went thus:
'What is your trader"
"Shoemakers.
"What can each worker earn?
"About five rupees month.
"What rent do you pay?"
"Eight rupees month"
From which answer we gathered
that not even paternal government
nor system of land naturalization
can prevent the growth of landfordism.
The ground in this case probably be-
longed to the State, and had been let
to some individual at yearly rent,
subject to reversion afterthirty years;
but the land had then been let and
sublet till the rent paid by the tenant
far exceeded that received by the
Government.
In another house, or rather shed,
lived mill hand and his family. He
too, was preparing to enjoy holiday
in "singing" and 'seeing the lights. "
which on that night, in honor of the
new year, would be placed in every
window of the city. His earnings
were ten rupees month. Out of the
margin, that is, ont of about seventy
five cents a week he would have to
support large family and save enough
to enable him in few years to return
and get land in his own village. Fort

All brown and withered lie.

That one and all must die.

Comes sadly home to my poor heart
Whose youthful hopes are fled,
The darkening days are drear.

A pure unearthly strain.

Beneath these leaves in spring shall blow
Sweet violets blue and white,

In heaven upon our sight.

The best way to prune fruit trees is
by watching them and rubbing off buds
and cutting off twigs as far as possi-
