That we should import green peas,
canned, from Europe, when such a crop
can be grown in every section of the
United States, is not very creditable.
They are always readily salable in win
ter, which is demonstrated by the fact
that we send abroad for them, and
they bring good prices. Here is an
opening for some of our farmers to
combine, build canning factory and
grow green peas. They will prove more
profitable than cereal crops

The Wide-Awake Farmer.

The Wide-Awake Farmer.
AS the wants of the people increase
there is not only a greater consump-
ton, but more variety is sought If the
world has changed and electricity is
beginning to supplant horses and men,
the farm is not exempt from the inf1u-
ence of progress. The articles used
as food. and the dishes prepared, are
very different from those of century
ago. Many fruits and vegetables now
IN general use were unknown at the
beginning Of the present century. If
the farmer is to keep pace with those
engaged in other industries, he must
change his methods and his crops, to
correspond with conditions not of his
own choosing, and meet the consumers
of his products with commodities Of
a kind better adapted to their wants,
and not such as he may prefer to grow
for himself. Every year witnesses
something new in the field Of agricul-
ture, and no farmer should be content
to follow a beaten path, but should
branch out and endeayor to take adj
vantage Of every opportunity for pro-
ducing something on the farm that will
afford him larger profit than he Sc
cured the previous year.
The fact is conceded that the low
prices for grain are caused by the
cheapening of the cost by the use of
improved labor saving implements and
machinery on the farm, and the day
when a crop must be cultivated be-
- IrI0
other has passed. The crops that pay
best now are those that are the most
costly to produce, because they are
grown less abundantly than the cheap
er kinds Corn, wheat and oats are
grown at onefourth the cost Of former
times, and the old prices will never
return unless the misfortune Of q fam
inc should occur, which is hardly pos
sible in a country with such diversity
Of climate as ours. There are crops
grown in this country which apparent
ly are very large, but which do not
supply our home markets, and among
them are potatoes and onions, and this
is due to the fact that they require
more labor than corn or wheat. Beans,
peas, apples, cherries, ounces and
some Of the garden crops are often be-
low the amount required for the sup
ply of the home markets.
1t is not supposed that farmers will
suddenly revOluttoniZe their methods,
but it will be an advantage for them
to study the markets and statistics,
and endeavor to learn what may be re-
CURED. Labor should always be con-
sidered in growing q special crop, for
1t enters into the prices and the re-
Enumeration, for such expense is never
overlooked. 1t is labor that makes the
value, and, while it is well to cheaper
the labor, yet the amount of labor re-
CURED should never deter one from
growing crop. A crop that pays well
one year may not be profitable the
next, as there is an inducement, by
higher prices, for the farmers to seek
the crop that pays best, but there are
too many farmers who adhere closely
to certain crops and thereby fail to
secure the highest prices or largest
profit. The progressive farmer will
keep himself we'll Informed, and be
always prepared to avail himself Of
the advantages open by growing va
riety Of crops in order to satisfy the
demands of all classes.-P Philadelphia

Strengthening Crooked

Strengthening Crooked Streams.
All natural streams over land are
more or less crooked, as they bend first
one way then another to avoid obstruc
tons. In making artificial open bitches
there is at first an almost irresistible
tendency to follow the natural course
and simply deepen it. But after the
ditch is cut, if it is a cultivated field
the crooked places in it make serious
difficulties for the plow, the harrow,
cultivator and the moving machine.
Only for pasture lot is the winding
rivulet running through a field allowa-
bic, provided it can easily be remedied.
BY Strengthening an open drain and
putting sewer pipe in it the ditch may
be filled and plowed over, making a
rich, cultivable field of what was orig
inally only fit for growing coarse and
inferior grasses-Ex.

Hints to Housekeepers,

Always appear at table with smooth
hair and neat apparel.
Bread should never be hurried; give
plenty of time both in rising and hak-
ing.
Drive ants out of your cupboards by
sprinkling pulverized bOraX on the
shelves.
To remove ink stains from the hands
rub the spots with the wet head of a
common parlor match.
Cake, after it becomes stale, makes
an excellent steamed pudding, eaten
with sauce of sweet gravy.
When you wish to cook anything
quickly in an open vessel do not leave
the spoon in, as it carries off some heat
Use soapy water when making
starch. The clothes will have glossier
appearance, and Tie irons be less likely
to stick.

When you buttonhole Scallops in your

A picture should not be hung from one
nail; the diagonal lines formed by the
cord have a very discordant effect.
Two nails and two vertical cords, or,
what is far more safe, pieces of wire
cordage, should be used instead of the
single cord.

Onions are an excellent remedy for
catarrhs and coughs; for this purpose
they are chosen very large, cut in four

HOLY WEEK IN MEXICO.
Preparations for an Unusually Brilliant
Celebration Throughout the Nation.

City of Mexico, April Great
preparations are being made in this
capital and throughout the republic
for the celebration of Holy Week in
magnificent style. The balconies
about the city are ornamented by the
thousands of palms blessed in the
churches by the priests on Sunday,
and which will remain displayed for
the remainder of the year as a bene-
diction to the families whose houses
they grace. Thursday, Friday and
Saturday will witness the most cur
ious ceremonies among the faithful.
The bells of all the churches cease
ringing at 10 o'clock in the morning
of Thursday, and remain silent TO the
same hour Saturday. On Thursday
the washing of beggars' feet takes
place in the principal churches. On
Friday will be enacted the famous
Passion play of the Mexican Indians
giving a representation of the scenes
of the crucifixion, while Saturday the
ludicrous blowing up of Judas by gun
powder and works will take place.

architect of the city said last night
that he was not entirely convinced Oh
the truth of this theory, but was
somewhat of the opinion that the
Hutchinson building fell first, and that
the ioists pulling out of the party wall
between that edifice and the Chapman
building threw the latter building
down. He admitted, however, that
this was question which 1t might
be very difficult to solve, and also
that it might eventually turn out that
the buildings fell simultaneously. In
conversation with a clerk in the
Hutchisson's store, last night, he said
