HERE AND THERE.

See that the herd is made better
every year. Let constant improvement
be the watchword.
More than the present market price
for wheat can be got by boiling it and
feeding it to pigs.
-Cheapness in producing butter is a
relative term and depends upon COM
parison of the cost of food and the pro-
duction of milk and butter
Texas has the largest acreage of
cotton land, 3,6S5,4S3 acres; Georgia
comes next with 2,723, ,124 acres, and
Mississippi takes third rank with 2, 374,-
ITO.
Seeding down a crop as it should
be requires skill, or the use of perfect
implement for that purpose. Nothing
is so unsightly as a field that is bare in
spots and well-covered with growth on
the other portions.
Gould man expect his family to
be healthy if he should require them to
eat half decayed cabbage, potatoes,
turnips, flour and meal made from dam
aged wheat and corn, water from cess
pool and sleep in damp, moldy, stinl1ing
beds? The same question would apply
to his stock.
When the ground is worked to fine
condition the roots penetrate the soil
more easily, secure n greater share of
plant food, grow more rapidly than
when but slight cultivation is given
the soil. Careful cultivation thus in
creases the yield of crops by affording
greater feeding capacity to the roots
the plants.
Land can not be over-cropped if it
is properly managed and cultivated.
When a crop is taken off the land
should be supplied with plant food
equivalent to that removed by the crop
while weeds should not be permitted to
remove plant food from the soil. Over
production is not possible as long as the
demands of the soil are complied with.
Roses will not give satisfactory re-
suits, unless grown on very rich soil.
Procure strong pot-grown plants and
keep the soil loose around them on the
surface, to prevent grass from getting
start. Select only the well-known
varieties, or such as have been observed
when in bloom, and be on the watch
constantly for attack by rose bugs.
1t is more important to retain mois-
ture in the soil than to endeavor Co get
rid of it. Drainage is essential for re-
moving the excess of water in the lower
soil, but to retain the water nea~ the
surface, for the use of plants is impor-
tant. This may be done by keeping the
soil constantly loose with the cultiva-
tor, the fine soil on the surface serving
as a covering, or mulch, and thereby
preventing rapid evaporation

Worlds Fair Medals.

A good deal Of disturbance has been Gre
ate,i and some ScOIdirg has been lLduIEcu III
by those who in the competitive eXhlbig OF
their goods at the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position won medals or diplomas and VINO
now find by strict construction OF the law
under which the prizes were awarded they
are liable to imprisonment IL the PeAllen-
tiary if for the information of the pubnc
they publish pictures OF the diplomas or
medals which they have won.
The law as it stands was drawn at the sug-
cestiOn of Director General Davis, who had
no other idea in making the suggestion than
the preventing of exhibitors who had wen
no distinction by their exhibits from clalu,s
ing medals or diplomas, and thus deceiving
the public. He had not thought of depriv-
ing any honest and successful exhibitor Of
the full use and publicity of his advertise
ments of the medals and diplomas which the
merits of his wares had gained.
But in drawing the law the mistake was
made of depriving the prize-winner of
whatever benefit his diploma might be to
him in advertising his manufactures. He
can have his diploma framed and hung up
in his parlor and can keep his medal locked
up in his safe to show to his friends, but
nothing more. Such is, at least, the con-
struction the attorney general puts on the
law.
1t is outrageous to impute any criminal in
tent to those who have used for advertising
purposes the recognition their goods have
won. Such use has followed each exposi-
ton that has been held, and it is right and
proper that the public should know whose
goods entitled their maker to such recOgni-
ton. The crime, if there be any, is only the
tee. nical violation of a clause in a law which
was put there through an error. 1t is quite
Ii!lely that the law will be amended so that
those who won prizes may let the world
know it, giving such evidence of the fact
as may fairly be demanded.-Chicdgo Record,
Ady ~, '94.
Touching this matter, neat circular has
heen issued by the Whitman Agricultural
Co., of ST. Louis. This Company received
the Worlds Columbian Medal, the highest
possible award, on baling presses and a
total of twenty awards on other entries, but
are of course, under the law, restrained
from giving proper publicity to the fact.

by local applications, as they cannot reach

one way to cure Deafness, and that is bycon-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets in1amed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest Of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at Q lower price than the Royal
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.
