A Crime to Call n Baby Francis.

In England it is not crime to desire
to call baby Francis. But in England
many hold that liberty runs to license;
in certain well-ordered tracts of Ger
many it is penal to call baby by that
infiammatory style. The prohibiting
law was passed in the year II, which
sounds as il time. at .least, were on its
side. But it appears that really the law
was passed in Paris in revolutionary
times to prevent people naming their
infants Robespierre, which was justly
regarded as menace to social order.
These parts of Germany sroaned at
the time under the heel Of France. and
have not yet plucked up courage to re-
peal the enactment. 1t only allows
names that are in the calendar or in
ancient history. A resident English
man has lately been fined marks for
wanting to name his infant Francis.
He played Sir Francis Drake as an
cient history, but the court of appeal
could not conscientiousiy go farther
than Franciskus. and the gentleman
has been fined for not registering the
name until his appeal was decided. 1t
was hard, but worse remains behind.

American Cattle In France.

Last week we published the opinion
Of an American in Paris to the effect
that the American trade in cattle with
France did not amount to much any
way. Nelson Morris, the well-known
Chicago packer and exporter takes ex-
ception to 1t as follows:
Mr.. Rollin is wrong about the mar
ket for United States cattle in France.
The market for cattle from this coun-
try was SO well established that the
prices were satisfactory to other ex-
porters as well as myself, and we We
content to make weekly shipments 70
France right along. Further than this
we should all have been glad to con-
tinue had not France forbidden us.
I wish to say further that as many
cattle as we have ever marketed to
Fran, (which is a great many-we,
the exporters, have never had any fault
found with our inspection or had any
of our animals rejected. This should
convince the world that the United
States cattle are perfectly healthy
and that the United States inspection
is as good as any in the world.
There were of late several firms
handling United States cattle in
Paris and Marseilles, and our cattle
came to be figured on in the weekly
markets and wanted by the French
butchers, and their beef was very
mucl liked by the French people.
The Paquin company, which is men
tfones, for years past handled most OF
the United St..es cattle, but has not
been selling many of late, as they are

selves, and feed great many cattle

3,036 plants and trees set out.
The treasurer's report showed an ex-
penditure for the year Of $1,452.S6 and
a balance in the treasury Of $636.51.
The executive committee was reduced
to five members, comprising only the
officers of the society.
The election of officers resulted in
the following choice: President, L. G.
Kellogg; vice president, Charles
Hirschinger; secretary, A. J. Phillips;
treasurer, r. ]. Coe; corresponding
secretary, H. L. Herbst. William
Hanchett spoke on the prospect for
Strawberries in 1895. In the discus
sion that followed one Of the points ac-
centuated was the different results
given by different varieties of berries
in different hands. Warfleld was
praised as standing frost well, but
yields easily to drouth. Sons OF the
members held the opinion that the
staminate varieties used as pollenizers
influence the size of the pestillate va
rieties. Prof. Goff said that from ex-
periments made at the college he
thought there was no increase in size
as affected by the pollenizers. Mr..
Stickney said that four-fifths of Mr..
Bombaugh's plantation is still Cres-
centand Wilson. In spite Of the drouth
of the last year Mr.. Bombaugh has
had good success, but he kept his cul-
tivators going all through the summer.
He cultivated once week and it had
had a wonderful effect. His banner
crop Of several years ago was 1,700
bushels of Strawberries from five acres
less ten square rods. Mr.. Bombaugh
manures at the rate of forty loads Of
manure to the acre.

keep the potatoes free of weeds with
out any hand work. We do all the
work we can with the use of horses.
Some growers wait till the potatoes
are four or five inches high before
they cultivate them. That is mis-
take, for then the weeds have got up,
too. Our method is to put in the culti-
vator and run Il ns wide as possible as
soon as the plants are up. Then as the
potatoes get larger we narrow up the
cultivators and also run them shallow.
We keep up this cultivating till the
vines have begun to die. Deep cu1tiva-
tion should be avoided after the plants
are large enough to send out roots,
for 1t will cause root-pruning, and that
is very harmful. Potatoes should be
cultivated just as soon as possible
after shower, the object being to
check evaporation. Some of our farm
ers still dig potatoes by hand, but l
do not believe any man can afford to
dig by hand If he has more than half
an acre. In storing potatoes in eel
lar for winter there should be the ad-
dition Of a thermometer. Do not be
afraid Of letting the temperature get
down to below 40 degrees. Some say
1t will hurt them for seed, but know
1t will not, for have had them in the

there, and never had better seed.

we must have new varieties. Don't

great difference, but after that the re-
suit is very apparent.

H. B. Rice spoke on cabbage grow
ing. in part as follows: Cabbages can
be grown on any good corn land.
Freshly turned sod is very good, es-
pecially II any rich clover sod has
been turned under. What manure is
put on should be plowed under. Sta
BILE manure should be scattered over
the ground to the depth of an inch or
more. and salt may be used to the
amount of ten to fifteen bushels per
acre. When applying hen manure
mix it with dry earth or have 1t In
pulverized form. For late cabbages
seed may be sown in hot beds in May
or in the open field. When plenty Of
seed is used cabbage worms need not
be feared. The ground should be al
ways kept mellow. Dry weather Will
often check the growth. and when wet
weather comes the cabbages will burst
open.
OWL The application of common
salt prevent the ravages Of cabbage
worms?
A.-No, sir.
Q.-Have you ever tried road dust,
sprinkling 1t over the leaves?
Mr.. Tobey-We tried it last year,
and thought it stopped the worms.
Q.-Will salt conserve moisture?
Prof. Goh-No, sir; that theory Is a
mistake.
Mr.. .Stickney-Theq question ofworms
need not trouble man with a large
plantation, though man with small
patch may find them a great trouble.

any attention to them. A Chicago
grower told me that l would find the

Points In Potato Growing.


CONDENSED from Farmers Review
Stenographic Report of Wisconsin
Horticultural Convention.)
l.. L. Olds made few remarks on
potato growing for profit in Wiscon-
sin. Among other things he said:
There are Just two points that l want
to emphasize; the first is. avoid all the
hand work possible, and do as much as
possible with a machine; the second
point is. give your potatoes as much
care as you do your other crops. We
use our very best ground for potatoes,
and the reason for this is that the cost
of cultivation is greater than for other
crops and we must get as large yield
ss possible. Use a clover sod. Plow to
a depth Of seven or eight inches. Shall
low plowing will do for grain, but not
for potatoes. Do not be afraid Of plant
ing too deep. II the land be well
drained l would prefer plowing five
inches deep, rather than three. though
four inches is about right. Another
point is, keep the soil moist above and
below by cultivation. I use an Aspin-
wall Planter. We cut our seed with
from one to three eyes to the piece,
and plant them quite close together.
The Aspinwall potato cutter is good
machine. Some ask, isn't it better
to put more seed in hill and plant
farther apart?" It might be, II labor
were very cheap; but with the present
price of labor, it is better to plant as
I have said. One man says he plants
whole potatoes, large ones. Now that
is wasteful. If you want to grow large
potatoes plant few eyes, but IL you
want bushels, fill the ground full. We
have of late years been using more
seed on our farm than we used to.
Last year we planted about twelve
bushels to the acre, when growing
early potatoes, and for late ones we
used eight to ten bushels. We try to

low their actual value; Dur under IA
new system they are inspected ana
classified so that the owners get fun
meat value for all that pass. The de-
tails in the system Of inspection for
the benefit of the owner are complete
and simple. By an arrangement OF
numbers. tags, checks, ETC., the animal
can be traced and identified from the
time the same leaves the pen until its
final disappearance on the block or
in the tank. Prices for condemned car
casses are managed by the live stock
exchange; the slaughtering privilege
being sold to the highest bidder for
one year at time. But shippers would
receive better returns II they would
notify their salesman to have their
animals inspected as required by law.

Salt.

Common salt is one of the most val
liable remedial agents the world con
tains. Used us tooth powder, alone
or with a little prepared chalk, 1t whit
ems the teeth and makes the gums hard
and rosy. 1t is a good gargle for sore
throat, and If taken in time will benefit

bleeding of the mouth, and in warm
water is good emetic and remedy
against several poisons. There is moth
ing better for sore feet and hands than
salt and water, and for ordinary sore
eyes, though painful application, ii
will often effect cure.

Lums-Jaw-past and Present.

This repuIsive and infectious dis
ease, although not classified among the
deadly diseases of domestic animals, is
one Of the most annoying in the entire
list, more on account of the misun-
dcrstanding between the owner and
the sanitary and veterinarian authori-
tissi Its outward evidences are too
familiar to leed any mention here, and
its pathology has no connection with
what we want to cover, says Live Stock
Report.
Under the cid system of trading the
lump-jawed animal passed out with
the rest No one raised IN objection,
both buyer and seller taking for
granted that the disease came from a
decayed tooth, etc. Later reduction
in price was demanded by the pur-
chaser, which was granted; then came
inspection, condemnation, etc, and the
Illicit trading in the same. With us
here in Chicago unlimited facilities
were offered to the thieving dealer and
unprincipled butcher to get this stock
out of the yards without detection, as
about the only inspection was that
passed on by an ignorant, and perhaps
venial ward politician representing
the city. There was big money in the
business, hence your ward "heeler"
and stock yard employe could be con-
veniently absent at dusk or before day
light when the animals were sent out.
It is freely asserted that one of these
thieving dealers made $4,000 in one
year alone, and others in proportion,
and all this came out of the just earn
ings of the owner. Now new system
is in power, the same going into effect
in July, 1894. under which 1888 ami
mails were examined. 1,1S7 of which
