1t is useless for those who voted for Mr..
Cleveland In the fond belief that he was
better than his party to look TO him Tor
relief. When he accepted ONCE at the
OF incongruous factions as that which was
fraudulently gathered TO his support, he
forfeited all influence over his supporter
save that derived from the prostitution OF
patronage, and this Is an influence which
necessarily exhausts itself. Nor can there
be any sane expectation of help from .
President who, during q period OF such
unexampled national distress, busies
himself In Quixotic endeayorsto right the
wrongs of dusky savage damseis In the
Pacifc--a knight erranty which Professor
Woolsey has shown to be eminently sup
erfiuous, and which unpleasantly suggests
the fiddling OF Nero while Rome was
burning.
The only comfort which a lover of his
country can extract from the situation Is
the h, ps that it cannot last. The unhal-
lowed combination which elected Mr..
Cleveland Is a rope OF sand, and Is rapidly
resolving itself into its original elements,
as one section after another discovers
that the multitudinous and incom-
patible pledges given In his name
must be dishonored. What Is to be the
result IL is impossible As yet to forecast.
The recent elections are encouraging, in
asmuch as they indicate revival and re-
consolidation OF conservatism--a protest
against the innovating radicalism into
which the Democratic party has found
itself forced.
On the other hand there are prospects
which are by no means reassuring. the
socialistic alliances of the Democracy
have given to the wild theories OF Popu-
lism national character which may rem
der them supremely dangerous in the near
future. OF this we have a foretaste in the
support which the South has Sc
cured from the West for its income
tax project. Democracy may find in
social;s ;sm its Frankenstein. We may be
on the threshold of new division Of
parties in which all the conservative ele-
ments OF the nation may be forced to rally
around the Republican standard as the
sole hope of resisting series Of disastrous
experiments which will threaten the very
fabric Of society.

Enormous Growth of an Industry.

Few persons realize the enormous
increase of our wool product, which
has resulted from proper breeding
and good management. In 1910 the
number of sheep in the United States
amounted to 10, 000,0 900, and 13, 3,OO0,-
600 pounds of wool were produced.
In 1892 our wool product was 24I,
600, 600 pounds, while the number of
sheep had only increased to A, 35S,-
500. The average weight of fleece had
risen from 10 pound in 1910 to 5.5
pound in 1891.
The efforts to improve the weight
and quality of the fleece have not
been confined to the United States.
In 1881 the number of sheep and
lambs in Great Britain was returned at
%, 1872, sos. and in 1898 ut 27, $50, 1874.
The wool clip in 1890 was placed at
13S, 900, 600 pounds, and in 1892 at
153, 900, 600
While wool is cheaper now than
ever before, it is also more largely
used, so that the increased production
Is not so disproportioned as it would
at first appear. In 1860 the worlds
product of wool was 5000, 900
pounds. in 1880 it was ,626, 900, 900
pounds, and in 1889 it was l, $50, OOO,-
600 pounds Europe is decreasing its
wool production. North America in
creased from 100000 900 pounds in
1850 to 630, 900, 900 pounds in 1889.
The largest increases were in Aus
tralia. from 60, 900. 900 pounds in
1860 to 45O, O00,O 900 in 1889; Rio
Plata from 43,000,000 in 1860 to
$50, ,O0O,0 in 1889. These statistics
are interesting, for they show what
competition American wool growers
have to meet. New York World.

THE MODERN ORCHARD.

A change has come over public
opinion. The thick setting of trees
in orchards has been largely aban-
doned, and wide planting is the
general practice. Such excellent re-
suits have been obtained from the
change that many progressive farmers
have gone still further. Observing
that the trees at the ends of the
orchard were always the most flourish
ing, they naturally set to work to dis
cover the cause for the difference.
The explanation was soon found in
the greater amount of air and sun the
end trees received, and the more ex-
tended feeding ground for the roots.
Nowadays the tendency among pro-
gressive growers is to plant a single
row of trees around n field, and a
double row directly across the centre
of the field. This gives each tree the
advantages formerly possessed by the
end trees alone. 1T also makes the
orchard less dispersed than it would
be if the centre double row were
omitted, and offers facilities for culti-
waiting and gathering the fruit as
speedily as possible. 1t would seem
rs though the day for planting trees
in blocks were past, and that old
fashioned orchards were doomed. L.

ACCIDENTS ON THE FARM.

While it is rs desirable to employ a
veterinary surgeon in cases of severe
sickness or dangerous injuries as it is
to employ the family physician at
times, it is we'll to know what to do in
emergency cases." when something
must be done in less time than it
would take to get the regular doctor
to the spot, says correspondent OF
the American Cultivator.
One of these cases is that of chok-
ing, which frequently happens when
roots are fed without having been cut.
If the obstruction is not large and has
passed we'll down, it is often possible
to move it further along by gently
pushing down with a stick. A whip
handle rounded little at the end is a
good instrument for this purpose.
One person should hold the animals
head, SO as to bring the mouth and
throat in straight line. and another
should use the stick, and at the same
time work upon the obstruction from
the outside, rubbing it downward.
Push firmly but gently on the stick.
Another method is to put q stick
about Us large as ones wrist across the
animals mouth like bride bit, and
tie it fast so as to oblige it to keep the
mouth open. This will sometimes
cause coughing, SO that the obstruc-
tion will be thrown up, or will facili.
tate breathing until mucous enough
has gathered around it SO that it will
pass downward. If the obstruction is
not far down, the animals mouth may
be kept open by a horseshoe or by
blocks between the jaws, and one with
a small hand can reach down and
Withdraw it. Unless something is
done soon the animal must choke to
death, and time is of more Importance
than skill.
Cuts that produce profuse bleeding
are another sort of cases that need at-
tenticn before surgeon can be Sc.
cured. If the blood comes in jets at
about the interval of heart beat it is
from an artery, and tight banda2e
between the wound and body should
be applied, then stout stick placed
below and twisted until the blood
flows but slowly. If the one who puts
it on knows enough of the course of
the arteries to bring the knot directly
over it it will hasten matters, and this
should be part of the education of
farmer.
If the blood flows in continuous
stream put wide bandage directly
over the wound to keep the edges to-
gether, drawing it tightly as can be
done with the hands. A handful of
cotton, or even of green grass, under
the edges will assist, or one may hold
the edges together while another goes
for doctor. We have seen a horses
life saved in this way when the leg
was badly cut by the moving ma
chine, and a mans life saved by the
first method when bullet had cut the
artery of the arm above the elbow.
In neither case could a surgeon have
been brought in season. -Coleman's

The VirOt Bow.

The Virot bow, either made of wide
ribbon or bias silk, is always placed
against the back of the hat, with the
jet or rhine stone buckle that confines
1t resting its edge on the hair. 1t re-
quires an almost inimitable deftness
and surety of touch to make this
Frenchy little bow. The fashionable
ribbon is watered. 1t requires about
yard to make stylish Virot bow.
The ends of the ribbon should be
sewed together into four loops, two on
either side; the upper ones should be
a trife longer than the lower ones. To
tie these together the loops are held
firmly in the fingers and the left ones
are turned over the right ones, form
ing knot in the center, which is
either fastened with buckle or with
ornamental stick pins. A frontal
bunch of flowers or low buckle of
rhine stones is usually so placed in
front of the hat as to preserve the ar
tistic balance when the Virot bow
spreads its silken sails at the back. By
the way, this pointed effect of the loops
is acquired by drawing the lower edge
of each loop tighter than the upper. =

A Remarkable Caterpillar.

In New Zealand and Australia they
have an animal which, from all ac-
counts, cannot be equaled by any
other animate or inanimate object
upon the earth's surface. 1t is the
queerest of the many antipodean won
ders and paradoxes, and, for the want
of better name, has been called the
"bullrush caterpillar" or vegetable
worm" The native Tasmanian name
for the oddity is "Aweto- Hotete. "
The above ground portion of this veg
etable worm is fungus of the order
sphaeria, which grows to hei ght of
six or eight inches. When pulled up
by the root, this fungus is found to
consist of a large caterpillar, showing
head, segments and breathing holes
every detail of the grub being per-
fectly preserved. On examination of
the interior of the caterpillar it is
found to be composed of n "punky"
looking substance, really the root of
the fungus, which has cremated every
fiber of what was once living, breath
ing creatures anatomy. In all the in
stances which Buckland records, the
sphaeria had made its attack in the
fold of skin between the second and
third segments of the caterpillar and
had replaced all the animal substance
of the creatures body with hard
brown vegetable growth resembling
the fungoid growths on blackberry
and other vines. st. Louis Republic.

Virtues of Salt.

Common salt is one of the most
valuable remedial agents the world
contains. Used as tooth powder,
alone or with little prepared chalk,
it whitens the teeth and makes the
gums hard and rosy. 1t is good gar
gle for sore throat, and if taken in
time will benefit, if not cure diphther-
ia. 1t will stop bleeding of the
mouth, and in warm water is a good
emetic and remedy against several
poisons. There is nothing better for
sore feet and hands than salt and
water, and for ordinary sore eyes,
though painful operation, will often
effect complete cure. indianapolis

TO PUT AWAY wooLEN GARMENTS.

If the housewife is good hygienist,
she has a great deal of wool in her
domain, because she knows better
than tongue can tell how necessary
all wool garments are to the preserva-
t1on of health in cold weather. She
religiously superintends the making,
washing and mending of these gar
ments in all sizes, from those worn by
paterfamilias to the miniature ones af-
fected by the baby, and when the time
of year comes to put them away, she
neatly darns even the very tiniest
holes, folds the garments smoothly,
and envelops them entirely in cotton
cloth which she snngly ties with string.
These tidy rolls or bundles are then
laid in a trunk or chest, which is care
fully closed away from dust. Two or
three times during the summer the
woods are taken out and hung out in
the air, after which they are carefully
returned to their cotton wrappings
again. Free Press.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Do not feed grain as an exclusive
diet.
The most successful trainers are the
tireless workers.
If your fowls are not looked after,
do not expect too much from them.
Pullets and yearling hens are the
ones to put your dependence upon for
a sure profit.
Breeders will find more money in
raising fewer animals and giving them
little training.
With beekeeping and fruit growing
combined two crops may be made
from the same land.
1t is said that collie produced by eat
ing honey may be cured by eating a
small piece of cheese.
Little chicks need feeding every two
or three hours, but as they grow older
the time may be heightened.
Berries relieve the soil of very lit
tie fertility, and leave it in an excel
lent condition for other crops.
There is no real rivalry between the
trotter and the hackney. Each is good
in his place, which is one that the
other cannot fill.
The Importance of the maternal an
cestry is now SO generally recognized
that this is called the broodmare age
of trotting breeding.
For growing berries Of all kinds se-
lect welldrained soil on which some
hoed crop was produced last season,
potato ground being best.
Lincoln and Cotswold rams, used
with Merino ewes, produce large car
casses and long wool, If food supplies
are liberal and good care given.
Extracted honey requires less skill,
but there is more profit in pro lucing
the best white comb, for which there
is always demand, and which never
suffers from competition with cheap
counterfeit.
Some poultrymen claim that hens
will never eat their eggs if they are
given plenty of broken bone, oyster
and clam shells. The best plan is to
keep a supply where they can help
themselves.
Some farmers who have spent great
deal of money and many years in breed
ing up nice class of mares, will fool
ishly sell them off in fit of despon-
dency, retaining only such as they
could not sell.
Bees never make an attack while in
quest of honey or on their return un-
til they have entered the hive, says a
writer. 1t is only in tho hive and in
its vicinity that we may expect them
to manifest this irascible disposition.
One dollar a year has for years been
the average profit of the well-kept
hen, but the improvement made in
feeding the last few years and the bet
ter knowledge now possessed by poul-
terers are placing the average higher.
