WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Ameri.

accept the duty of distributing the re.
lief funds for the Armenian sufferers
and has issued the following statement:
Owing to the unanimous and urgent
appeals from the friends Of humanity,
representing nearly all of the people of
this country, the American National
Red Cross society has decided that it
must accept the sacred trust Of en-
deavoring to relieve starving Armenians
in Asia Minor. According to conserva-
tive estimates there are $50, 900 utterly
destitute people in that country who
will have to be assisted until the next
harvest. Fully realizing the difficulties
and dangers to be met the Red Cross
will start for Turkey as soon as sufh-
cient funds are placed ut its disposal. Or

mostly women and children. Such
widespread want, Miss Barton says, can
be met only by relief funds running
into the millions. 1t is estimated that
the cost Of relief per capita will be
much heavier than in the case Of the
Johnstown and Sea Island sufferers,
owing to the inacoessibility Of the
sufferers. Tho Red Cross party, in
Guiding Miss Barton, will leave imme'
diately after being assured of . sufficient
sum to carry forward tho work. The

MULBERRIEs FOR MARKET.

The Downing mulberry is an excel
lent fruit with n sprightly flavor, and
in young thrifty trees it grows to a
good size for mulberry, or about an
inch and a half long by about one half
inch in diameter. It has been grown
in private gardens for the past thirty
years or more, but we have never seen
any of this fruit in market. We pre-
sumo one reason why mulberries are
not in demand is that we have so
many better kind of berries coming
in at the same season, and at much
cheaper rates than it would be possi-
BILE to produce mulberries. Mulber-
ries ripen very unevenly, or n few at n
time, continuing for month or more,
and 1t would be rather tedious oper-
alton to gather the crop for market
unless the trees were trained low
enough to admit of gathering the ber-
ries while standing on the ground. A
mulberry tree or two in garden may
add something in the way of fruit for
the family, but we doubt if there ever
will be demand for these berries in
our city markets. New York Sun.

BEEF RAISING.

Successful beef breeding must be
along the lines of the improved breeds,
and combined with the science of
feeding in order to develop early ma
turity with superior quality. These
are the advantages of the improved
breeds for with all classes of stock fed
for meat the cost is greatly increased
each succeeding year that they are
kept and fed.
The rival beef breeds are the Short
horns, Herefords, Galloway, and An
gus, and their crosses, the first o
these, as the Illinois Station has re
Gently shown, being far away the most
popular. But whatever the breed Sc
lected, the feed is equally important.
Neither will do itself. 1t is only by
their union that beef raising can be
made profitable. The breed must be
one that will respond by good growth
to proper care and feed. The result
will be early maturity and good quail
tity, for which the best prices will be
realized. This is the kind of beef cat
tie that really pays. New York World.

A STRAW STABLE.

A valued correspondent says that
he adopted suggestion he saw in
these colums several years ago, and
made stable of baled straw that has
proven the most satisfactory of any
structure on his place. He made a
stone foundation of stones picked up
on the farm, raising it just little
above the ground; on that he put the
first course of bales, bedding them in
clay mortor us one would bricks. Be-
tween the first and second row of bales
he put two six-inch boards, one flush
with the inner and the other with the
outer edge, using clay mortar be-
tween. After he had the inner boards
as high rs he desired to nail anything
on the inside, he used boards on the
outside only, putting one between
each row of bales, making the
one on top answer as plate,
to which rafters and roof we're
attached in the usual way. 1t this
case the whole structure was sided
with perpendicular boards, nailed to
those between the bales, inclosing it
all but this is not necessary, since a
few board $50 used will give the struct-
ure all the solidity required, and the
straw will last for many years, even if
not protected. The roof can be of
boards, shingles, or thatched, the lat
ter being the warmest This kind of
building is very cheap, and is warmer
than any other kind of building can
possibly be made. In layingthe bales
joints should be broken, rs in laying
brick, and the corners bound in the
same way Where straw is practically
worthless and n press is at hand, there
is no other building material SO cheap
as bniled straw, and nothing regard
less of cost, that will so tangle up and
discourage the cold of Northwestern

melted ingredients and a sample tested
by cooling, until the mixture is right.
1t is then made into rolls in warm
water, squeezed and worked until the
whole is thoroughly incorporated and
made tough. 1t should become soft
enough for use by the warmth of the

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Nothing is gained on the far m by
rushing or fretting, but much is lost
when the wear and tear on the system
is considered.
The man who knows and appreciates
Just how and when to use the roller
and harrow for the best good of his
farm crops is well abreast OF the best
thought of the age in the matters of
soil tillage.
Do not plow ground now if it is not
dry. 1t will pay to wait few days
longer and have the soil fine and in
good condition than to plow it too
soon only to be compelled to do extra
work trying to break the Jumps.
Cover the heuhouse floor with fine
straw or chaff and make the hens
scratch in it for their grain. The
exercise will prevent an over abun-
dance of fat, stimulate egg laying,
prevent egg eating and feather pull
ing.
Do not attempt to fatten young pigs
but to develop bone and muscle in
them and make them grow. Pigs that
are made to grow rapidly when young
will make good hogs to fatten.
Ground wheat has a large per cent of
protein for growth. SO has wheat
bran.
Fill in the vacancies in the rows of
last years strawberry plants with
young plants, so as to have them send
out runners and fill up the gaps. The
same applies to other varieties of small
fruits. The rows should be regular
and well filled in ord4r to save space
and utilize labor.
The weeds and grass are now in
full sway on land that that has not
been plowed or properly attended to.
A few days work on such fields at the
proper time will save several weeks
labor later. 1t will pay to cease all
other work in order to destroy weeds
when they are young.
Farmers should never dispose of
pure-bred stock to the butcher, as long
as there are other markets for them,
and should never sell such stock at
butchers prices. Apure-bred animal
will always bring a fair price. As
rule, thoroughbred stock is remark
ably cheap considering the advanta tages
gained by the use of SUCH

organdie muslin, sprayed with forget
me-nots. The skirt has four founces,
each edged with valenciennes. The
full, puffed sleeves are tied with blue
and white ribbons, and more ribbons
are used for shoulder bows, sash and
streamers.
Cycling dress is getting brave. It
use to be gray, to avoid showing dust,
but now it does not hesitate to be red,

be, was green cloth cycling suit, with

selves the very stuff, modified, on

of matter of this sort select from IL
those parts which they are able to as
simulate. But the arrangement of the
"cap" of the mushroom enables it also
to absorb the vapor of the manure,
which is dangerous poison to man

poisons still. .--Scien tifc American.
