HERE AND THERE.

The chief advantage of deep-set-
ting of milk is that it is less exposed
to atmospheric influence.
Make hay when the sun shines and
potatoes when it rains. But some folks
can't stand hot or rainy weather.
Irregular feeding is injurious to
the fowls, and they should have their
food as regularly as we partake OF
ours.
The enterprise of improvement in
stock brings prosperity as a reward
Cheap-selling always follows cheap
breeding. There is one sure way Of
bringing depression in stock.
This is the season for preparing
the asparagus bed. Cut down the seed
stalks and use manure six inches thick
on the bed. Next spring you will have
large stalks and plenty of them.

DO not forget that a grade animal
will not breed all his good qualities.
Nothing but a thoroughbred will give
you improved stock from your mares

Do not overstock.
Grinding material is one of the
most essential things in the poultry
yard. Without it it is impossible for the
fowls to grind their food, and indlges-

4 COOPERATIVE TOWN.


An EsglisA City where Everybody Joaas b
OwnersAip.
Oldham Lancashire), although, COM
paratively speaking, = modern town.
and peopled almost exclusively by the
working classes, holds the lead IN
many respects, but especially in its CO
operative movements No town in the
kingdom owns as many joint stock or
limited companies, which in their.turn
have created other cooperative eombi-
nations.
Its cooperative stores consist Of two
societies, each with membership Of
nearly eleven thousand These socie-
ties were the pioneers of the Limited"
movement in Oldham, and the cotton
industry was the first business they be-
gan with. Such rapid strides has it
made that Oldham is known far and
wide IS the ''iivi." The cooperative
societies spread still further, and now,
in conjunction with the societies in ad-
jacent towns, own large corn mill.
thus sharing the profits to be made
from grinding the grain.
There are in Oldham district, in the
cotton trade alone, about one hundred
and fifty limited companies. the ma
jority Of which have been formed since
1872. with capitals varying from ten
thousand pounds to fifteen thousand
pounds, chiefly divided into 1--WE pounds
shares. These companies, seeing the
profits accruing from buying the raw
material, Mt once formed the Old
ham Cotton Buying Co., limited, III
most every company having shares;
consequently il is to their own interest
to do business with the company, and
thus share in the profits. But they do
not stop here. Seeing the large profit
made by the insurance companies. they
decided to form one of their own, and
the Federative Insurance company.
limited, sprang into existence, each
company holding . number Of shares,
and encouraging it by transferring
their insurance business to it.
1t is NO UNCOMMON thing for some Of
the cotton companies to consist Of four
hundred, five hundred and, in some
cases, seven hundred shareholders; al
most all residing in Oldham Scarcely
. family in the town but that owns
shares in some cotton company or other.
The company movement does not stop
with the staple trade (cottonl The
butchers were not long behind, and
then was formed the Oldham Hide, Skin
and Fat Co.. limited, which effectually
demoralized private enterprise in that
direction Even the bill-posting and
advertising business was invaded, the
printers forming the Oldham Bin Post
ing Co.. limited, through it posting
their own bills and advertisements

business, not even poultry farming,
which has escaped the company craze.

BY AND BY.

Down the stream where the tide is clearsn
Further on where the shores are fair.
Are the gracious forms we would fain Be
nearer,
The names we breathe in the voice OF prayer.
Be the voyage long. they viii lie the dearer
When after awhile we shall greet them there,
Further on. where the tide is clearer.
Down the stream where the shores are fair.
BY and by when the sun is shining.
After awhile when the skies are blue.
When the clouds unfold their silver lining
And the peaceful isles drift into view:
We shall free our tongues from dull repining,
And our hearts with the joys OF youth re-
new,
After awhile when the sun Is shining,
By and when the skies are blue.

Strangplation is considered IN honor
able death, in China, and very much
mercy is thought to be shown the con-
demned in permitting it instead of de-
capitation. This, because the method
does not involve mutilation Of the body,
which. to the Chinese mind. Is the height
OF disgrace in death. since the body in
recomposing itself in the spirit world
may get a head or members not be-
longing to it. It is not unusual to see
women put to death by stranguls.ion;
in such cases the frail creature is held
down by two brutal ruffians while .

ing . cord which runs around her neck
and forces out tongue and eyeballs.

Meat on Quick Time.

More meat can be produced in the
shortest time from the duck than from
any other living thing on the farm,
says Poultry Keeper. The farmer who
has a drake and six ducks will get
something like 500 or 1000 eggs from
them in a year, and he can set the eggs
under hens and have ducklings from
the time the first lot comes out, which
is often as early as February, until late
in summer. 1t should not cost over
six cents to produce pound of duck
meat, and they grow so rapidly as to
leave chicks far in the rear. A duck
ling should weigh, if forced. four pounds
in eight weeks. We have had them to
gain pound in one week.
OF course we had the Pekins. and
used ~only the largest and best We
could procure for breeding purposes,
and we have raised hundreds that
never saw water except in trough,
no ponds or streams being used. No
quicker way of supplying meat for the
farmers table can be suggested than
for him to hatch out a large lot OF
ducklings. and he can get gooJ price
for all he may sell. Roast drck is
better dish than salt pork. and can bs
had just as cheaply. as the dnck cah
be raised on the same food that is re
quired for producing pork.-Farm an0

A NEW lNSECTICIOE.

An Important Discovery I'm tho Domain o1
Pomology.
A new and important discovery in the
domain of pomology has been made by
F. c. Moulton. of the gypsy moth COM
mission, Maiden, Mass. Arscnate of
lead was the substance used, which
was prepared by dissolving IL ounces
acetate of lead and ounces of arsenate
Of soda in $50 gallons of water. These
substances quickly dissolve and form
arsenate of lead, fine white powder,
which is lighter than paris green, and
while being fully as effective in its
operation in destroying insect life, is
far preferable for several reasons. II
by any means the mixture happens to
be used stronger than necessary 10 dee
stroy insect life, even three or four
times the necessary strength, it in no
wise Injuries the foliage of the plants
upon which it is sprayed. This is a
great thing in its favor. for frequently
in using paris green for potato bee tie
Larvae and for the Goblin worms. as
much injury results from the poison
burning the foliage as would result
from the insect If left alone.
This is better insecticide than paris
green under all circumstances and for
all insects, says Prof. Fernald. 1t has
the advantage of being readily seen on
the leaves, SO that one can tell at a
glance which have and have not been
sprayed, which is often of great con-
veniencc. Being lighter than paris
green, it does not settle SO quickly. and
as a result, can be distributed more
evenly over the foliage. A great objec-
tion to the use of paris green is the lia-
bility of using an overdose, and thereby
injuring the foliage of the plants
sprayed. With the arsenate of lead. it
can be used, if necessary, in the pro-
portion of rs pounds to lao gallons of
water without injury to the foliage.
Prof. Fernald advises the addition of
quarts OF glucose, or, if that can not he
obtained. 2quarts of moiasses to each
$50 gallons of water, used for the pur-
pose of causing the insecticide to adj
here to the leaves. He says that the
experiments last season. show that
the insecticide will remain on
trees for long time, even after
quite heavy rains. and, we infer,
prove effective. The cost of these
chemicals at 5 cents per pound for
tate of lead, Mt wholesale. 1t sh ould
be borne in mind that these substances
are all poisonous. and should be used
with as great care as Paris green

Women in Politics.

Not many years ago no southern
newspaper would have urged women
to take an active part in politics, but
the times have changed, and many
things have changed with them.
In New Orleans the people have
started a movement against the ring
which controls that city, and we find
The Picayune earnestly advising the
women to use their influence in behalf
of honest municipal government. AS
our contemporary puts it:
The crisis has come. The laws re-
main dead letter by the lawlessness
of those who should enforce them.
Vice and profiigacy reign in high pla-
ces and municipal legislators do not
stop at felonies. The crisis has come,
and it is time for the women to join
the battle against municipal corruption.
The time has come for them to assist
in the great work of municipal purifi-
cation, and The Picayune believes they
will. So be it.
The Shreveport Times also favors the
active participation of women in poll
tics. 1t points out the good work of
the women of New York in fighting the
Tammany tiger, and of the women of
Kentucky in defeating Colonel Breck-
inridge, and appeals to the women of
New Orleans to come to the front and
obtain the reforms which the men
have failed to secure.
1t strikes US that the country is in a
bad way when its qualified voters are
unequal to the task of doing their duty
at the polls, and are forced to demand
the aid of the women. III we introduce
this new element into politics it will
probably work very satisfactorily for
a time, but when the novelty wears off
it is to be feared that society will lose
more than it will gain by the change.
Women can do more for their country
at home than they can ever do in ward
meetings, at the polls or by taking the
stump. Politics is a dirty business,
and the wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters of the land should be kept
out of it.-Atlania Constitution.
