SCIENCE IN FARMING.

Agricultural education in France has
progressed by leaps and bounds. and the
French farmer tills his ground more sci
entifically than any of his neighbors. Ag-
riculture is taught in schools OF all grades
In 1898 instruction was given to 200 pu-
pills in French normal schools and to
more than 100000 persons who attended
their conferences. Model farms are scat
tered all over the land for the purpose of
experiment and instruction. While France
is probably ahead of all other govern
ments in the application of science to
farming, Germany is a good second and
in some directions, notably in the produc-
ton of the sugar beet, is in advance of
her rival. In England the general diffu-
sion of the knowledge which renders sci
entific farming possible is shown by the
fact that even in a bad wheat year the
average yield per acre is over thirty BUSH
els. Contrasted with this our own aver
age yield of thirteen bushels shows
sharply the need of the National Govern
ment to make some better provision for
education along agricultural lines. Farm
ing, like every other branch of industry.
has made rapid strides with the last two
decades. 1t has become highly skilled Ia
Dor. and it is necessary that provision be
made for acquiring the necessary inform
alton about it as with any other trade.
Intensive farming as it is practiced in
Europe will eventually redeem much of
the unused land in the Eastern States,
and at the same time furnish our cities
with cheap, palatable and healthful food.

ANOTHER ACTION AGAINST THE U.

BondhoIders of the Kansas City &
Omaha NorT Bring a Suit.

st. Paul, May so-Harry Richardson
and Harris and Pendleton, attorneys for
the bondholders committee of the Kansas
City & Omaha railroad, made application
TO Judge Sanborn for leave to iile a bill
against the receivers Of the Union Pacific
Railway company for the foreclosure of
sae first mortgage of the Kaneas City &
Omaha. one of the branches OF Jhe Union
Pacific, and the order was grant1I. The
bill viii be filed at Omaha today The
bill prayS for separate receivers, as well
as the foreclosure OF the bonds. The
bends amount to g, 600.
This is another step in the dismember-
ment OF the Union Pacific company. The
action and proceedings are similar TO
those brought in the oregon Short Line
case, which has just resulted in the ap-
pointment of John H. Egan as receiver
of the latter road This may force the
foreclosure of the mortgage on the st.
Joseph and Grand Island, another branch
of the Union Pacific as that branch guar

HOW TO MAKE BEEswAx.

The following receipt for beeswax can
he vouched for. says writer: After the
combs have been put through an extract
or or crushed and strained through a
thin cloth, the wax is put in copper or
porcelain lined kettle with cold water
enough to cover it, and boiled for half an
hour or longer, If it seems necessary.
When the wax is taken from the stove it
is strained and poured in a vessel previ-
ously dipped in cold water. To make a
round cake of beeswax, pour the melted
wax in a bowl that has been dipped in
cold water. When cold it may be easily
removed if the bowl is dipped in warm
water. To make wax sheets, use a board
three-eighths Of an inch thick, dampened
with warm water, then dipped in the
melted wax, two or three times. The
board is next put in water to cool for a
little while. after which it is taken out,
the edges trimmed with a sharp knife and
two sheets of wax peeled off. To make
these wax sheets the wax must not be
too cold or il will crack.

THE FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD.

The farmer has to contend against ma
ny discouragcments and enemies. Insects
droughts, floods are natural enemies, and
these must be met with skill patience and
courage He has a right to expect them
and should make no complaint. But there
is one enemy against which he should
contend, not only with skill, patience and
courage, but also with -ed-hot indigna-
ton. That enemy is the adulteration or
food in any form. On that question ne has
no business to be tolerant His indigna-
ton should mete out swift and certain
punishment to every legislator, state or
national, who by his vote or voice excuses
or defends this fraud; to every judge, pol
itician or paper who gives utterance in
its fayor.-Hoard's Ioairyman.

In planting corn the ground should be

Tacoma, May 30-George P. Eaton has

OF the Northern Pacific railroad, to take
effect July l. He resigned just after Land
Agent Schulze's death, but has remained
at the rec ueSt OF officials until the inves-

purchase of lands will be reduced from z

result in an average reduction in prices
of one-third compared with prices at
which they were formerly listed. The OBJ
