A6IlfatiOna.


Affiliations.
Walter Quinton Gresham, soldier jurist
statesman. was born on farm near Lanes
Vile, Ind, March II, 1892, st. Patrick's
day. From humble beginning rose one
Of the foremost figures Of his day, a man
who, though never chosen to Office by the
votes of the people, save to the legislature
of his state, received far more honors from
the chief executive of his country than any
other living man. His record includes the
rank of colonel, brigadier general and
major general of volunteers, twice judge
of the courts of the United States and
thrice a member of the Presidents cabinet.
His father was English. and his mother
was of ScOtc h-lriSh descent. The former
was a cabinetmaker. and about a year
after the birth of Walter Quinton, his
youngest child, he was elected sheriff of
his county. The next year he was mur-
dered by a noted desperado, whom he tried
to arrest, and left the widow with five
small children to struggle for her own sup
port. The eldest child was a son of eight
years. Walter was fond Of study, and
through the years of almost penury that
followed his fathers death he worked early
and late to learn, and though he receive ed
but two Or three winters Of schooling he
was enabled at the age of sixteen to enter
Bloomir gton University, and after a year
there went to the seminary at Corydon,
where he studied law. He was made deputy
clerk of court under Judge w. A. Porter,
and continued his studies under that emf
nent jurist. In 1853, at the age of twenty
one, he was admitted to the bar, and a
year later formed partnership with T. c.
Slaughter, who was afterward circuit
judge.

BERRY WORK FOR JULY.

July is critical period for all small fruit plants.
 Retain all moisture possible, by fre- quent shallow cultivation and liberal mulching. Continue nipping off late new shoots of blackberries and raspberries. Old strawberry beds retained for fruit ing another year should be closely cut with scythe or mower and burned over, thus destroying noxious seeds, insect pests, and germs of disease. Narrow the old rows to four or six inches with spade, barrow or blow and apply liberal SUD- ply of fertilizer, to stimulate vigorous growth of new plants. Keep clear from weeds and cultivate often. If production was light, same beds may be continued one or two years. If heavy, blow under at once and use ground for some late crop.
 New strawberries are now sending out runners to form new plants. Two meth- ods are employed to prevent plants be- coming too thick in the rnw-remoying all runners until the last of July, and al- lowing first runners to make plants, but removing all later ones. The second method requires more labor, but pro- duces stronger plants. In any event, al- low four or five inches square space for each plant. Pistillate varieties make PiouoSsi O Pioiy' Ao oSSuiG flSOTous fiu6S and large nice fruit remove all surplus runners.
 Cut out bearing canes of raspberry and blackberry immediately after frHIting, and burn them. Every surplus plant or cane, takes food and moisture from the soil. Every dead branch or weak cane furnishes an abiding place for bug, para site and disease.
 Allow nothing in the fruit garden det- rimental to health, growth and develop ment of both plant and fruit. Look closely for orange rust and other disease on raspberries and blaekberries. Dig out and burn affected plants. root and branch, as soon as it appears.-[ M. A. Thayer in Country Gentleman.

Live Farm Topics,
MrLLET AND ITS CULTURE


 The continued dry weather makes the use of millets necessary. Will you kindly tell us in what respects German miliet is better than common millet? Is Hungarian as useful as either of those? Will you mention briefly the most important points about the culture, curing, and use of these, and if you please, emphasize the most important "dsnt's'' re- gard1ng them? have an impression that a good deal ot seed is lost when sown in a very dry time, because the soil does not contain sufficient moisture to germinate the seeds, and a friend has suggested that in such cases the land should be rolled after drilling in the seed. Do you think so?-GC. A. w, Bingham ton, N. Y.
 The varieties of millet, Setaria italica, are very numerous. A bulletin of the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Sta tion names seventeen, only three of which, however, are in general cultiva- tion-common millet, a slender variety l seldom branching, with large yellow, oval seeds ripening early; Hungarian grass, upright, dark green and erect heads, with seeds less yellow than the former--season medium; and German millet, large and stout, unbranched stems, heads usually nodding.
 All these are known by several local names, and one name is often substitu- ted for the other.
 The German millet produces more weight per acre than the common millet, but is coarser and less desirable, al- though something may be done to ob. viate this objection by thick seeding. | Hungarian grass is more inclined to branch than the common millet and this causes it to produce a rather fine quality of hay. Much depends on the richness of the land, the season and the number of plants grown on 8 given area. Al the varieties are good, and only by ex perimenting can it by discovered whicf is the best it any given locality.
 The most important thing to be con } sidered is the cultivation of the mille and, first, good preparation of the soil and, second, sufficient moisture to star the plants as soon the seeds are sown. ) This plant thrives best on warm fertile soil. Usually only portion O 7 the seeds germinate quickly, some 0 f them not at all. It is best to roll tn ground after the seeding has been com pleted, in order that capillary attraction I may bring moisture to the surface t 3 start the plants off rapidly. True, thi 2 rolling tends to produce evaporation a at the surface, but this is better than to z long delay in germination. r Not less than half bushel nor mor . than bushel of seed per acre should b . sown. The thinner seeding will probat n ly give the larger yield, but the plant a will be inclined to grow coarse and fiji J. rous, while the thicker seeding will giv e a much finer, though sometimes smalle
 product.
 Cut when the heads are in bloom, s 0 ripe millet seeds have hard coats, rel l. dering them indigestible and sometime fs dangerous to cattle, and especially so { h horses, when large quantity of it 2 fed.
 $ Cure as far as possible in the buncl o and feed in moderate quantities wit b other foods, and good results are ce r. tain to follow.-[ Country Gentleman.

THE TRIALS OF CHICKEN RAISING.

First of all, let one make up his mind that there will be eggs that will not bring live chickens, chickens that will be killed by accidents, and some that will be stOl. en by crows, hawks, rats, mines, ,skunks, weazels or other enemies.
 Second-Have these obstacles exUer- minated as far as possible, and don't al low idle men out of work or boys not re- quired on the premises to be loafng around.
 Thirdly-So arrange hen houses that the young chickens will not be near the hens which are laying, and have their little coops on the part of the homestead where the general flock do not resort. If we'll managed, these little GOODS should be moved every day just far enough to have them on clean ground, and after a few days the hen can be allowed to go round with her young ones, by having an opening to pass in and out at pleasure It is astonishing how many hens with broods can be kept, and every one go to her own little home, so that there is naught to do but button on the front board to keep out proWling vermin.
 When these hens forsake the chickens, it is well to take them back to their for mer home and put the little hen house, which can be alternate home of the fowls year after year. To have poultry of all sizes and ages crowding and knocking each other about, is bad man. agement; avoid this by having separate houses at distance apart.
 have always carried some bread and milk or scalded meal first in the morn- ing, or fed the broods on removing the front board, and kept the hens in for while, according to the weather; and in giving some grain or cracked corn about noon, l would not call them so that they would mix up together, but pass silently around and throw 8 handful, walking on So as not to give time for the commotion caused by the collection of so many to- gether. The evening feed is generally contrived in the, some way, when usual ly each brood would go to their own little home ready to be shut up for the night.
 The old hens at the roost where no little ones were kept are fed twice (morn- ing and evening1, as near one time as possible. They generally have soft food
