Fresh Notes of Interest from the

and Accidents.
Especial Chicago correspondence

There have been some great days at
jackson park since the fair opened, but
the greatest day in all probability that
the White City will see will be Ameri-
can day, July 4 next. A few days ago
Germany had her day, and it was
grandly and enjoyably celebrated by
the Germans of the city. There were
nearly quarter of million people in
the grounds on that occasion. and Ger
mania was the recipient of distinguished
honors, but on the Fourth of July
we expect to see a celebration which
will outshine anything of the kind ever
held in this country, Centennial day
not excepted.
This is, of course, as it should be,
for while we are a cosmopolitan people
and nation the American sentiment
should prevail and all American-born
citizens should take pride in an. event
which will herald TO the world the
magnitude of our institutions and the
progress of our country. There will
no doubt be a greatly increased at
tendance during the first week of July,
in view of the grand sights programmed
for the Fourth. The excursions have
begun TO come in and the floating pop
ulation of our great city is daily in
creasing. In reference to the coming
celebration one of our leading dailies
contains this glowing outburst:
Fourth of July at the fair will be
roarer. All the contrivances known to
pyrotechnic art, all the eloquence OF

been alleviated. The provisions for
caring for the children is another fea-
ture of the fair service that is especial
ly commendable. BY its aid tired
mothers are relieved of their precious
burdens for the time and enabled to go
about unhampered by their little ones,
whom in many instances they must
take with them or remain at home
themselves.
The complaints of extortion which
were so frequent short time ago are
now no longer heard, or at least are be-
coming very rare, and the impression.

people We're being robbed at the fair is
gradually becoming effaced. There are
plenty of free water and toilet accom-
modations, and lunches may be had at
a moderate charge. This being the
case, a person of modest means need
not go hungry, thirsty or dirty while
visiting the fair.

Colorado Silver Mines and Shelters Sus-
pend Business.
DENVER, Col, June 30.-Silver mining
and smelling in Colorado will cease
This decision was reached at meeting
of all the leading mine owners and
managers of the state held at the
Brown Palace hotel yesterday after
noon. The mines cannot be operated
at the present price, and to stop further
loss all operations will come to stand
still and $4,000 to $1,000 men be thrown
out of employment.
SHELTERS TO SHUT DOWN.
DENVER, Col, June 30.-A decidedly
new and vigorous move was made by
the smelter men who met here Late
last night ex-Gov. J. B. Grant, of the
Omaha and Grant lsmelter, who was
chairman of yesterdays meeting, gave
out the following for publication:
SIN accordance with the resolutions
passed by the miners and smelters
this afternoon, the Missouri valley
smelters, representing almost 30 per
cent of the smelling business of the
United States, have decided to cease
purchasing silver ores and to go out of
business. They have approximately
but 5000, 900 ounces of silver in stock.
With this limited supply the govern
mont cannot purchase the amount made
obligatory by the Sherman bill during
the next two months"

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

THE soil cannot be made too rich for
tomatoes.
The time will come when the west
will achieve success in orcharding We
have not got down to solving the
problem of successful apple growing
yet.
If you plant seed of an OIL variety
that will not produce as much by fifty
per cent. as a new variety would pro-
duce, it is pretty plain that it would
pay to buy new seed, is it not?
THE big red apple and the big red
strawberry are the fruits that sell
Better apples and better berries may
stand alongside of such fruit, but they
are not as handsome. but they will rot
while the others are selling.
THE early bird catches the worm.
The grower of the earliest vegetables
and fruits gets the biggest price for his
products. If we are growing fruits or
vegetab les for the market, we should
strive to have them ready early.-Farm-

CREAMERY WORK.
Cieanlfness and Pure Air Are the Two
Prime Essentials.

Prime Essentials.
AT the Connecticut State Dairymen's
association meeting, A. NJ. Bancroft,
superintendent of the Ellington cream
cry, said: Great advancement has been
made in butter making. This is large
ly the outcome of concentration of
thought and cooperation in devising
the best ways and means of manufac-
turing and management. Have we at
tanned perfection, and may we be salts
ned hereP Assuredly not: our aim
should be still onward The relation
OF the patron to the general interest is
an important one; he cannot be too
watchful to provide neat and comfort
able quarters for his cows with arrange
ment for cleanliness and ventilation.
one patron who lacks neatness may
prlDg disaster upon the whole product.
Constant vigilance is necessary. If
every dairyman feels that upon him de-
ponds success, there will be a united
effort which will insure the highest re-
suits. An increase in quality means
better prices, and quality is of more i'm
portance than quantity. OF course we
all desire quantity. For the best pro-
duction we must have the best cows,
and to be sure of this there is but one
process: To test the herd and weed out
the poorest cows, buying or raising bet
ter ones to take their places. Ventila-
ton in the stable does not imply ex-
posture, but light, airy stables, with
windows which can be opened
Pure air is essential to the health and
improvement of the animals. Creamers
demand careful and constant scrutiny.
Water in the tanks soon becomes foul.
Nor should it be changed merely, but
the watts should be scalded and scrubbed
at frequent intervals to insure sweet,
nutty favored cream. With such cream
a butter-maker who understands mat
tiers will turn out the best product and
assure good returns. The most hope
full sign of progress among dairymen is
our growing intelligence. Farmers are
notes in regard to care and
feed ofst ock and calling upon the ex-
pertinent stations and agricultural
schools as never before. To expect am
pie remuneration for our time and la
Dor, we must have as full knowledge of
our business as the merchant or me-
chanic. We need more enthusiasm,
study, ensilage and perhaps a more per-
fectly balanced ration.

An Irrefutable Argument.

Farmers are constantly in need of
the use of highways to transport their
property and to move themselves from
place to place. The average farmer is
five miles distant from the nearest rail
way station and his surplus produce
must be moved that distance year after
year. If he were to compute the saving
that he and his neighbors would have
by reason of first class roadways they
would discover that it would amount to
more than the expense of putting the
roads in good condition and keeping
them sou. s. Senator William A.
PETER, Kansas, in Memorial to Congress
on Road Exhibit at Worlds Columbian
Exposition.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
PRETTY HOME GROUNDS.

How to Add Perpetual Pleasure to Life in
Rural Districts.
There are several reasons why the
farmers residence should be somewhat
embellished with the planting of orna-
mentals. A small amount of we'll
selected trees and shrubs may be en-
ployed to give a distinct character to
the place. 1t has cheapness especially
to recommend it, for if hardy species
are chosen and properly distributed,
they will need but little care and cult
walton after they are once established.
They will impart an attraction to the
home which will be of great value to a
young family. A very small sum would
be needed, compared with that for
costly architecture, and if generally
adopted by all, would impart a pleas
ing appearance to the whole country.
We name some of the more common
ornamentals, which may be easily OBJ
tanned, and which from their hardy
character would retain their places for
a whole life time. A few large-grow-
ing trees scattered on the grounds.

way. The platform from stanchion to
drop should be Al feet, drop is
inches wide by 4 inches deep. the walk
back of it ~ feet, thus giving ample
room for eight cows so they can be
handled with ease. One of the small
bins can be used for cow feed with a
door at the back to make it handy, and
there should be hole cnt in upper
floor to put hay down at outside end of
the passageway.
Raise the floor over gangway SO a
man can easily scoop grain out of
wagon.
The stairway should be permanent
and answers to put hay down through;
but it would be much better to have a
hay chute to each stall. This dispenses
with litter on the floor. The gangway
being Is feet will allow two wagons to
pass. The sx12 stalls are boxes for
colts and brood mares.
The NOW will hold about % or so tons
of hay, and the corn crib, 1SxlO feet,
makes good grain-room, with 25x1O
feet to make bins for small grain.

Sheep In the Orchard.

If properly managed, the orchard
may be pastured profitably by sheep,
says Prof. j. L. Budd. The only essen
tial is not to pasture too closely and to
have matters SO arranged as to turn in
the sheep from the yards in the morn
ing and take them out when they get
restless and rambling, as this is the
time when they reach up for the limbs
and hunt for branch where the bark
IS tender. Experience has proved that
the orchard insects do not thrive where
the sheep run. With the sheep in the
orchard our apples had less worms, and
the leaf-eating insects, thrips, etc,
were not as common and destructive as
in orchards near by where grass and
weeds grew.

HOW TO PREVENT SUNSTRoKE.
Worlds Fair Physicians Give Out Valuable
Hints for Visitors.

Hints for Visitors.
Drs. j. L. Hillmantel and w. III. AL
port, of the medical staff of the worlds
fair, We're asked about the liability OF
exposition visitors to sunstrolle, what
they should do to prevent insulation
and all its phases, and what treatment
should be Immediately resorted to by
friends or any bystander possessed OF
ordinary presence of mind. DIR. Hill
mantel said:
ITO begin at the beginning, visitors
should battle before coming To the fair.
They will be so refreshed by the bath
that they will be well prepared for a
days sightseeing. They should eat
before leaving home, prudently, OF
course. and while on the grounds should
eat. They should not wander around
all day on one meal, as exhaustion is
altogether likely to attend such long
fasting.
Coming to the fair men and women
should wear light clothing or clothing
suitable to the weather, and on warm.
oppressive day they should pay atten-
ton to their footwear, wearing light
and easy shoes. Headgear should be
looked after. Women are better off in
this respect, and the men should wear
light hats, and when in the shade
should remove them frequently.
But above all, visitors should be
careful about what they drink The
water used is of the utmost Importance.
and none but pure water should be
used. Moderate drinking should be in
dulged, even when water is used, and if
ice cream soda or other cold drinks are
taken. they should be INDUCED in mod
erately, drank slowly, very deliberate
ly. and the party had better seat him
self while drinking"

the fair in one day. 1t can't be done,
and the effort is sure to result in
juriously, even if the person is not
stricken or Frustrated while on the
grounds"
DR.. Hillmantel, continuing, said: 81
Wooded island as a grateful
retreat while the sun is hottest, and all
visitors should keep in the shade as
much as possible, get into the build |
ings; and when out on the avenues
every man and woman should be pro- |
vided with sunshade.'
avoid rushing or running, eat
well, but moderately, drink moder-
ately. and keep out of the suns |

said both the doctors. land visitors will |
find such precautions sure to enable
hem to make the tour of the fair COM
and without danger"
Women especially" said DR. Hill

bundles and wraps. They should avoid

To Improve the Grass.

Nitrate of soda is excellent for bring
ing the grass out green upon the lawn.
After the lawn has been moved, and
just before rain, an application of
fifty pounds of nitrate of soda, finely
ground, will prove excellent. Recent
trials with nitrate of soda on grass show
that for every fifty pounds used upon
grass land there was a gain in grass
equal to five dollars per acre.

Good Points In a Cow.

The first point to consider is that the
COW is strong, with deep flank, indi-
eating constitutional vigor; and the
next is to see that her udder is right in
form, her teats large and set wide
apart If cow is to be good mixer
she must have somewhere to keep it,
which does not, however, mean thick,
feshy udder. Secondary and fancy
points are slim neck and long head,
with fine horns and good features.-A.

Silverites Can See Nothing to Cause Them
Satisfaction.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The free coin
q men of the house do not see any sill
yer lining in the message Of President
Cleveland. They exhibited some disap-
pointment, not for publication, but as
expressing their belief that the president
did not care to see any legislation look
ing to the reconciliation of silver. They
said that the suggestion about al inter-
national conference was vague and i'm
dictated that there was not much
apparent desire on the part of the
administration to have the question con-
sidered at an early day. In talking to
such members of congress as claimed to
be free silver men, but who voted to re-
peal the Sherman law, the free coinage
men said that it was the fulfllment of
what they predicted at the time-that
the unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law meant that there would be no more
silver legislation during this congress,
and that il was not intended that there
should be any during the present add
m~inistration.
