general satisfaction as shade and orna-
mental trees.
Here, as in almost everything else,
tastes differ, but we think we are safe
in saying always plant native trees if
/ you wish your work to be permanent
and approved by posterity; for tree
planting should have the blessing of
those who come after us. We have
such an abundance of beautiful native
trees that we can have large room for
selection. Our sugars and hard naples,
our tulip tree and our elms, our linz
dens and our sycamore, all make good
shade trees in soils well adopted to
them, in the Middle and Northern
States. For general purposes as beau
tiful shade trees we would prefer the
sugars and elms and tho tulip tree,
which is very beautiful tree and
rapid grower il it has fair chance.
The ash trees make a fine growth in
an open space, and for roadside shade
we confess liking to the black wal.
nut, rs we'll as to the white walnut or
butternut, which is n very attractive
tree and a rapid grower, but these last
must be gluwn from the nut, as trans
planting unless quite small is scarcely
ever successful. To these may be
added our evergreens, which may be
selected according to the taste OF the
planter for the climate in which he
lives. We have omitted an elegant
and favorite tree, ''the magnolia"
which is beautifully ornamented when
the climate is not too severe. There
are so many other native trees, espec1-
ally in the Southern States, which can
be selected that we have only yet to
say, do not plant "foreign trees" un-
less for mere curiosity, and do not
plant trees which produce litter
around your premises for half the
summer, or such rs send their roots TO
the surface for forty feet around them,
from which myriads of sprouts aIe
sent up to annoy you.
When you are ready toplant, which
should be done without delay, deter
mine just what you want to do, and
do it well, and you yourself will have
increased happiness and your children
will rise up and call you blessed.
1t is surprising to us that Georgians
should plant china trees and white
mulberry trees, both being pests,
when they have such beautiful native
growths as our tulipefera, or swamp
poplar, or our linden or sycamore or
even our swamp or native silver pop
lar, which is SO far superior to the inn
ported varieties.
The tulip trees and our native oaks
are the finest shade trees in the world.
Our native elms and naples are supe-
rior to any imported varieties, and
our sycamores are not only excellent
shade trees but are among the best
lightning rods ever furnished by art
or nature.
Farmers, let US plant our home trees.

SHIPPING LIVE POULTRY.

Country shippers ought to pay more
attention to the condition of their
coops before using. Considerable
stock is lost by shipping in worn out
coops which come apart in transit if
roughly handled, as sometimes hap
pens. Every coop should be carefully
examined, and all bottoms and cleats
securely nailed. The coops should be
strong, but light; heavy wood is un-
necessary if long nails are used. They
should not be so large as to render
handling difficult.
The coops should be high enough to
allow the poultry to stand easily up
right, and should not be overcrowded.
Too close packing and too low coops
are cruel and cause loss by suffocation.
Hens and roosters should be shipped
separately whenever possible. All
poultry for the New York market
should be we'll iattened, and should be
fed lightly before being placed in the
coop, if 1t reach its destination the
day after shipping, as the New York
law requires that the crop be entirely
empty before killing. From more dis
tant points provision must be made
for feeding and watering in transit.
At the beginning of their journey
they should be fed lightly, as over,
feeding at such time makes the birds
sick and dumpish and unfit for the IA
tigue of travel. After the first day OF
two, when the poultry have become
accustomed to their new quarters, the
supply of food should be increased
All these things should be considered
and every care exercised to have the
birds arrive in the best possible con
dition, so that they may sell readily al
the highest prices. 1t is only good
stock that really pays The shipper
who does not get the best marke
price for his stock should consider
seriously where the fault really lies

stated two years ago that there were ap-
proximately one million six hundred thou
sand persons who use spirits to excess in the
United States. BY excess | meant all per-
sons who drank to intoxication continuously
or at long intervals. These figures were
reached from a study OF the statistics OF per-
sons arrested for intoxicatton in the lowec
courts, also the general opinions OF persons
with wide acquaintance among business
men, who assert that less than two per cent.
of all drinking men come under legal notice.
OF course, wide differences OF opinion will
prevail until some accurate statistics are
made. Two attempts to make census OK
drinking men in Eastern towns revealed
many difficulties, and the intensely morbid
desire to conceal the drinking customs OF
people. Both of these censuses indicate
one drinking man to every eight persons,
and produced a strong conviction that this
was very low proportion. There are many
reasons for believing that the estimate OF Il
million six hundred thousand persons who
use spirits to excess in this country is mini
mum rather than maximum statement-

WHEAT Hay roR COWS.

Wheat hay Is not good feed for
dairy cows. There nre some other
kinds of fodder which are much better,
MS oats and peas, which will grow
where wheat will. Corn is an excel
lent fodder, especially when made in
TO silage. Millet grows we'll in dry,
hot localities, and wheat grain,
ground, for the COWS, will make an ex-
cellent addition to these folders, with
sugar beets or mangels. Thus, there
will be no scarcity of crops to take
the place of wheat. A silo should be
one'fourth deeper than its diameter
thus, if it is twelve feet square, it
should be fifteen or sixteen feet deep,
and, in fact, the deeper it is the bet
ter all round, as the silage packs more
solidly, and this makes it keep better.
Thus, the depth is matter of con-
venience mostly-the greater the bet.
ter--but it should not be less than the
limit above mentioned. Cora is cut

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

New milk will fatten colt faster
than skinned milk.
Fertilizer can be proftably applied
with or without manure, and will more
than pay for their cost.
In keeping down the expenses do
not do it by denying wife needed help
in the house. That is the poorest
economy.
Care should be taken OF to cloy the
appetite of colt, and when there is
any symptoms of that the feed should
be cut down at once.
Manure is recL mmended by all ex-
perienced farmers and experimenters,
but it is a scarce article compared with
the area of land to be covered, unless
there is a large number OF animals
kept on the farm.
If the legs, ankles, joints aud pas
terms are strong, and the colts Hp-
petite is keen, the grain ration can be
increased to three quarts at feed

regular work to do, either to harness
or on the kindergarten.
The majority of farmers prefer to
use manure, and seldom resort to the
use of fertilizers. They cannot pro-
duce sufficient manure for large
farm and manure one field a year.
The plan is excellent, but they lose
time by not using fertilizers on those
fields where no manure has been ap-
piled.
Those who keep but one COW and
save the cream until sufficiency has
accumulated for a churning will not
succeed in making choice butter, as it
is a mistake to mix the old and new
cream. This is a fact that is fire.

The Russian thistle has moved q
little closer to the East, and it is
simply matter of time when it will
be established on the Atlantic coast.
The railroad cars bring the seeds and
scatter them along the lines. Good
cultivation destroys it. 1t is not as
severe a pest as the gypsy moth or the
potato beetle.
A writer in the Chicago Times
Herald recently advocated preserving
corn in air-tight bins. He says, aEd
truly, that less care is taken of the
corn crop than of any other grain the
farmer raises. He also holds and en-
deavors to prove that no other grain
IS injured more by exposure to storm
and other misuse.
With many farmers the most serious
problem of life is to get out of debt
The only way to solve it is either t.
keep down the expenses or to increas,

danger is that in endeavoring to in
crease the income expenses are in
creased to a point that leaves no prof

Some months ago young English girl
came to an American city to marry a young
man to whom she was aflianced in England,
and who had come TO this country two years
previous to engage in business. She was to
marry him at the home Of q friend OF her
mothers with whom she'was stopping. Dur
ing the time she was making up her wedding
outfit he came to see her one evening. when
he was Just drunk enough to be foolish. She
was shocked and pained beyond measure.
She then learned for the first time that he
was in the habit Of drinking frequently TO
excess. She Immediately stopped her prep
arations, and told him she couldn't marry
him. He protested that she would drive hiul

White POplars for Lightning Rods.

White POplars for Lightning Rods.
There is often great loss of property
and sometimes of life in the severe
electrical storms that rage at certain
times OF the year in Russia. To pro-
tect the houses of the peasants, which
are frequently struck by lightning,
the Russian Government has reco m
mended that the peasantry bo en-
couraged to plant white poplar trees
around their dwellings to act MS light
ming rolls. This suggestion arose on I
of some investigations concerning the
liability to lightning-stroke of certain
species OF trees, made by Russian
electrician and the Government Forest
Inspector. They spent 100 days in
the great forests near Moscow, and of
the 597 trees that during that time
were struck by lightning they found
500 were white poplar, notwithstand-
ing the fact that that species is COM
paratively rare. Chicago Record.

nrsnop rAttows's "HoME SALON. I"

The saloon has found another enemy In
Chicago. Believing that most excellent
method OF fighting that institution could be
found in substituting something better to
take its place, the RI. Rev. Samuel Fallows,
OF the Reformed Episcopal Church, on Feb
ruary 2l last, opened what he calls Home
Salon" in the enemys stronghold.
In Il basement at 1855 Washington street,
Chicago, in the midst Of row OF exceed
ingly dingy beer slioons, and surrounded by
nearly a thousand more of similar charac-
ter, las been established this first expori-
ment. 1t aims to reproduce all the regula-
ton features Of the grog-shop with the sin
glo important exception of the intoxicating
liquor.
There is long. highly polished bar of the
regular pattern. backed by mirrors and an
array OF cut glass. At one end ls n refriger-
ator with rows OF bottles visible within.
Back Of the bar hang the portraits of the
venerable Neal Dow and Miss Frances L.
willard.
In connection with the bar is that peculiar
Chicago institution, the catetira, which is Il
lunch counter, wherelrom the customer
helps himself The bill Of fare consists OF
roast beef, roast pork, pork and beans, baked
whiteflsh, Goldfish cakes, frankfurter sau-
SAUCES and beef sandwiches. A plate OF any
one costs ten cents. For fifteen cents one
can have chicken or lobster salad. The GUS
toner helps himself to these, and the neces-
sary knife. fork, spoon, condiments, bread
and butter.
With this lunch tho customer obtains free
any one of Il long list OF temperance drinks,
the chief OF which is "bishop's beer" This
pet invention OF Bishop Fallows has all the
appearance and nearly the taste of lager,
but It does not contain n drop Of alcohol
One Of the most responsible firms of Chi
cago manufactures il under contract, guar
anteelng its purity in every particular. II
contains the best elements OF the malt and
hops.
Ii is estimated that 800 people daily pa
tronizs this "Home Salon" One strong evil
dence of its value is that the liquor interest
has done its best to injure the movement.
But the salon Is prosperous, and Others will
be opened soon which can be made to pay a
handsome dividend on the capital invested.

ground of greens and blues before be-
ginning to paint it. Use grass green,
deep blue green and bit of yellow,
here and there, with a touch of dark
green in the shadows. For the clovers
use carmine, No l black, and here and
there deep purple in very limited
quantities. Avery faint wash of ultra

In the Indian Territory as in more civilized
communities. The courts OF the Territory

estimated that ninety per cent. Of the time Of
