LITERARY NOTES.

In the Review of Reviews for August
Jacob Riis, the author of "How the
Other Half Lives" tells the dramatic
story of "The Clearing of Mulberry
Bend, " the rise and fall typical New
York slum. He points out that the old
ramshackle, disease breeding pile of
tenements known as the "Bend, now
cleared away, had its mission in the
world; not for New York only, but for
the whole country. By its lessons
every American city may profit
Must, indeed" says Mr.. Riis, "lest it
pay the penalties New York has paid,
with usury that has yet many years to
run"
The Man Of the Month" selected as
the subject of the leading character
sketch in the August Review of Re.
views is Theodore Roosevelt, the in.
trepid police commissioner of New
York City. The writer of the sketch is
Julian Ralph. who is q journist, has
followed closely Mr.. Roosevelts re-
markable career since the young Knick.
erbocker first began to stir up the dry
bones in politics as an Assemblyman
from New York City in the State Legis.
lature. The article is in large part
based upon an interview which Mr..
Ralph had with Mr.. Roosevelt, in which
the new commissioner told what he
considered to be his duty as president
of the police board, and what he pro-
posed to do. 1t is lively article upon
a lively subject, and emphasizes, what
has long been recognized, that the Re-
view of Reviews is quick to note for its
readers the important forces which
from day to day are making for the
progress of the world.
Mr.. Stead's sketch of the new British
Ministry IN the August Review of Re-
views is a clear cut analysis of the
makeup of the third Salisbury cabinet,
and furnishes the American reader an
immense amount of information on
current English politics. The Review
of Reviews has become a veritable
monthly cyclopedia of plitical move
ments the world over.
Not since "the Anglom aniacs" has
there been 80 clever society satire as
Henry Fuller's "Pilgrim Sons, " which
is published in the August Cosmopoli-
tan. The problems involved in wo-
mans use Of the bicycle are 80 start
ling and so numerous, under the rapid
evolution of this art, that one welcomes
q careful discussion of the subject by
80 trained mind and 80 clever writer
as Mrs. Reginald de Koven. The Co.'S
mopolitan illustrates Mrs. de Koven's
article with a series of poses by pro-
fessional models. A new sport, more
than any known to Nimrod, more
dangerous than was ever experienced
by Buffalo Bill, is exploited in the
same issue in an article on photo
graphing Big Game in the Rocky Noun
tains, P" before shooting. The idea that
ten cents for The Cosmopolitan means
inferiority from literary point of view
is dispelled by the appearance in this
number of such writers as Sir Lewis
Morris, Sir Edwin Arnold, Edgar Faw-
cett Tabb, W. Clark Russell, Lang,
Sarcey, Zangwill, Anges Repplier. etc.
Nor can we entertain the idea of infer
iority in illustration with such names
as Hamilton Gibson, Denman, Van
Schaick, Lix, Sandman, etc, figuring
as the chief artist of a single month g
issue.

Sowing Mixed Grain.

Few kinds of grain can be probably
sown together, for if both grow each
crowds the other so a. to diminish the
yield of that which is the most valu
able. Gas and peas are perhaps the
only exception to this rule, and we are
not sure that they should be excepted.
There will be very few peas grown
from vines sown with oats. If the soil
be at all rich, both oats and peas will
get down and not make valuable feed,
for whatever falls to the ground does
not get sunlight enough to develop
much nutrition. Some farmers grow
wheat and rye together, the object be.
ing to have some crop on land where
wheat alone might entirely fail. More
often, however, wheat and rye are
grown together by neglect to secure
clean wheat seed. On almost all land
where a sprinkling of rye gets into seed
wheat, its tendency is to increase, show
ing that rye outyields the wheat. Yet,
when sown separately, the wheat usu-
ally on good land will outyield the rye.
This shows that the best soil is selected
to SOW wheat on, while the rye is sown
on land not so good Oats and barley
are often sown together, but it is bad
practice, as the crops do not ripen at
the same time.-ETchdnge.

EXneriment Station Bulletins,

The experiment station at Burling
ton, Vt, has just Published three bull
letins-No. 80, Household Pests ~;
No. A, Spraying Orchards and Potato
Fields; and No. as, "Analyses of
Commercial Fertilizers"
No. 43, HJu,e hold Pests" is a
brief description, with illustrations, Of
the buffalo beetle and clothes moths,
together with the remedies which may
be best used to combat them. This
bulletin will certainly prove of much
service to many housekeepers who are
troubled with these insects.
No. A is devoted TO spraying orchards
and potato fields. The principal points
summarized in this bulletin are as fol-
lows: % The scabbing and cracking
of orchard fruits is fungous disease
and may be prevented by spraying the
trees with bordeaux mixture. The
market value of the fruit thus SPRAYED
by the station in 1894 was increased
from one fourth to one half (2) While
there was but little loss in 1894 from
blighs or rot of potatoes at the station,
owing to dry weather, yet the bordeaux
mixture spraying prevented injuries by
iea-beetles and grasshoppers, and
proved a profitable investment. (O
Pototo scab is a fungous disease, and
may be prevented by selecting clean
soil, using proper fertilizers, planting
clean seed only, and by disinfecting
scabbv seed with corrosive sublimate
solution. The latter process added
fifty per cent to the yield of marketable
potatoes on one station plot in 1894.
No. 45 gives analyses of commercial
fer iizers. This bulletin contains an
alyses of fifteen samples of this years
goods. They are the leading brands of
all but two of the manufacturers
licensed to sell in this state. The analy-
SEES and guarantees are compared and
the valuation of ingredients is deter
mined. A schedule of trade values
agreed upon by the experiment stations
of the New England and Middle States
is given and discussed.
1t is expected to issue three more
bulletins at frequent intervals, giving
fertilizer analyses as rapidly as made.
These bulletins, as we'll as all publ
cations of the station, are sent free of
charge to any address upon application

Cows versus Sheep,

Why cows should be so high this
spring we cannot see, but certain it is
that, in this section at least, cows are
very high. Butter is low and is likely
to stay so for some time to come, for
there is boom on in dairying, and
many are going out of sheep and put
ting on coHs in their stead. 1t may be
that is why cows are high. 1t is good
time to hang on to sheep, for prices are
sure to go up inside of two years. Wool
cannot go lower, and the low price and
great quantity of mutton in the markets
has given many people great liking
for it, so there will continue to be a
greater demand for good mutton even
at an advanced price. While wool has
gone from forty to fifteen cents a
pound, the fall in price is not out of
proportion with that of many other
things, especially such as the farmer
has to buv, and sheep husbandry, if the
mutton breeds are kept, is about as
profitable as any industry on the farm.

had the two suspects in Mr.. Hatch's
herd, which endured the tuberculin
test, been killed and examined. The
facts which post-mortem would have
revealed would have been worth the
cost to the state in view of the charge
that is sometimes made and sustained
by citations of alleged cases in which
the tuberculin test has failed to indicate
the presence of the disease where it in
fact existed. There is yet opportunity,
aud the commission would be fully JUS
titled in making the experiment. The
result would go to show the unerriug
truth, or liability to error, of the tuber-
culin test, "a veil as to indicate what de-
gree of confidence can be placed in

Questions on the BabcOck Test.

Cd. At what point of Babcock test
of butter fat in milk do you consider it
to show the difference between a good
and poor dairy COW?
(2). At what point is the general
highest point of the best run of dairy
cows, also breeds, as per BAbcock tests,
etc.? r. NJ. W.
a. In the first place, What ia good
cow?-the poor we have always with us.
Mr.. Hastings of Vermont made his
herd average trifle over 400 pounds of
butter per year last season. The Wis
consin college farm herd last year aver
aged 300 pounds each. DR.. Van Slyck
of New York says the cows in this state
do not average over 5000 pounds of
milk year, but ought to be brought up
TO general average of 1900 pounds
rating, but, on the basis of Al per cent
test of butter fat, the latter amount
would give about 200 pounds of butter
per COW. A test of to per cent of
butter fat, and the ability to give 1000
to 5000 pounds of milk per year, should
entitle COW to place in the dairy,
improving on that in her progeny by
breeding her to good sire.
(2). The COW that is giving an av-
erage of 5000 pounds of milk year,
from which 200 to $50 pounds of butter
are made, would average 4A butter
lest. Another giving 900 pounds less
of milk per year and coming up to these
figures in butter production, would
necessarily show higher figure in her
test-some over 81 per cent of butter
fat as the average. But anything like
uniformity in tests of COWS classed as
good should not be looked for, on &C.
count of qualifying factors which come
into the question. The quantity of
milk COW gives is an important factor.
So at the beginning of her period of
lactation she may test as low as per
cent, and near the close as high as
| 7 per cent, or even higher. AS to breeds,
it is generally conceded that the Jersey
holds the first place as a butter COW,
yet the Guernsey and Ayrshire hold
hilh rank as dairy stock, and individ-
uals of both the latter breeds were given
as high tests for given quantity of
milk as any. The greatest yearly but
ter record known is accorded to a
HOlstein-Friesian COW, yet for the gen.
eral dairyman the three breeds, in the
order named above, stand at the head.
With your present stock of mixed
blood we should say, stick to the last
cross and follow with another thor
oroughbred Guernsey bull of the best
butter strain you can find. Test all the
heifers as they come into milk and re-
tain only those that give good rating
to breed from. But avoid jumping at
conclusions from single or even sew
eral tests. And even if heifer tests
low, and your judgment, guided by OBJ.
servations and experience, seems to in
dictate such heifer is likely to develop
to higher rating after another year OF
two, don't be in a hurry to discard her
