There Must BE n Division.

The cry is nowadays: Give us the
good, all round animal" The Country
Gentleman thinks there is an element
of error in this. Carry out this idea to
an extreme. and you blot out the dis
tinctive characteristics of every breed
of animals existing. AS in the meehan-
zeal, so in the animal world-there must
be a division of labor. We owe all the
improvement of the present day in all
classes of domestic live stock to special
breeding for definite purpose. Let
the breeder of the race horse try to
combine the strength of the Clydesdale
or Shire with the speed of his thorough
bred, and the result is an increase of
strength, but n reduction Of speed.

MIR. Edward Wilson informs fhe
editor of the Eutaw (Ala.) Mirror that
he successfully cured pear tree 81
blight in the following manner. lie
first cut away the diseased part, then
bored dozen or so of holes with a
small bit, through the bark and into the
sap wood. He then put a dose OF
calomel-say five TO ten grains in
each hole. Plugged the holes up with
q well-fttng cedar peg, cut 1t of
even with the bark. The tree soon
covered this over by its natural proc
ess, and the tree is now heavily
loaded with fruit and is very thrifty
and prosperous looking.

NEW ROAD MATERIAL.
Refuse Molasses Used with Considerable
Succesa I'm IJtah

Refuse MOlasses Used with Considerable
Success In Utah.
The Utah Sugar company has begun
novel use for the waste product from
the works at Lehi, known as by-prod-
uct, or molasses. Roads are actually be-
ing constructed with the sirups, which
are valueless as sugar producers, the
life having been extracted. The mo-
lasses is used as cement, the body of
the road material being made up of
gravel. This new method was first used
on the road leading from the country
road to the sugar factory, and the travel
over this thoroughfare since the open
ing of the sugar season has demon
strated the value of the sirups and
gravel as materials for the improve
ment of roads. The piece of road that
has been so improved is as hard as
macadam, and even the heaviest loaded
wagons do not cut it up. The sirups
are first poured over the roadway to
he improved, and then a layer of gravel
is sprinkled on. More sirup and gravel
follow in their turn, until the road is
in perfect condition. There seems to be
just sufficient potash salts in the mo-
lasses to give it the necessary cement
ing qualities.
This making of roads and walks with
refuse sirups from sugar factories has
also been successfully tried in Cali
fornia. 1t is not at all unlikely that at
the end of the present season the COM
pany will make more improvements on
the roads leading to the factory. At
first the molasses showed tendency
to ooze up through the gravel, but the
application of an extra coating of
gravel remedied this and made the road
as smooth as floor and as hard as
pavement.-Salt Lake Herald.

treasury, the opinions expressed regard
ing the effect of pending measures in
Congress and like matters. 1t is an as
sumption that if the people could be
kept in absolute ignorance of the con-
ditions affecting the currency business
men would never know their possible
danger and would proceed with conf
dence and in the end come out all right.
Proceeding upon this theory, it would
be better that banks should make no
reports lest they might show a condi-
ton verging on insolvency: that cor
porations should make no statements to
stockholders lest impaired resources
should alarm the public, and so on. No
reputable newspaper in the land would
knowingly print dispatches regarding
the financial situation which would
harmfully misreDresent it, because, if
for no other reason, publishers are as
deeply interested in sound business con-
ditions as are other business men.

HUDSON RIVER ICE CROP.
Nearly 10000 People and 1.OOO Horses

JAMESTOWN N. ", Jan. 4.-The Hud-
son-river ice crop is nov ready to harvest
and the quality was never better. Cutting
is already in progress at Coxsackie and
other points north ana by Monday next the
work will be in full operation at all points
unless the weather conditions change radi-
caily The crop has matured much earlier
than usual, about a. month in advance of
last year. being much favored by the clear
zero temperature for "a, week past. Only
about 100000 tons of the old ice crop is
left over from the demands of the last hot
summer and this is held by the Knicker-
booker company. The full storage capacity
of the river is now about four million tons,
no material increase, having been made
since last year OF this, the Knickerbocker
has nearly half. 1t is estimated that near
ly ten thousand men and boys and one
thousand horses are employed in the river
ice harvest IN the height of the season, but
with the improved mechanical appliances
now in use, only about fourteen working
days are required to house the entire crop
and vet the work Is awaited with greatest
anxiety by thousands of men and their
needy families. The average cost OF nous
ing the crop here is estimated at 70 cents
per ton. The wages are from 81 to 81 day
No definite rate has been fixed. An effort

THE DIsTRusT OF LAWMAKERS.

The Kansas City Journal, in noting
that the days for legislative sessions
throughout the country have come, says
that, as a rule, they have come to be
days of dread to the people who do
business and pay taxes This is not
the remark of a newspaper which is a
chronic grumbler. but of a stanch party
journal, which, in this matter, expresses
not it's own complaint, but that of peo-
pie generally.
This would lead to the inference that
the people generally elect men as legis-
lators who are not so wise as the aggre-
gate people themselves. Such, however,
is not the case. for if the views of the
people at large were obtained upon the
general topics which may be subjects
of legislation they would be as diverse
and conflicting as are those of the men
whom they elect to legislatures. Here
in Indiana the advice which CORE
spondents of the Journal have given
the members of the incoming Legisla-
ture and the gossip of the schemes
which individuals and associations will
present are of themselves sufficient to
appall the great body of taxpayers if
they should be led to fear that any
considerable number of them would be
Endorsed by the Legislature and turned
loose upon the treasury. These schemes
and not the Legislature create the
dread. 1t is the fear that the Legisla-
ture will be inveigled into the adop-
ton of some of these schemes and fads
by few persons who have leisure or
are paid to press them.
The people have seen a Legislature
open an avenue to the school fund for
the benefit of State officer. They have
discovered that adroit persons have
slipped amendments into bills which
have doubled the fees Of certain officials.
They have read that persons who have
made themselves the champions of good
roads will ask for bureau with officials
and salaries; that others would en-
bark the State in an extensive plant for
experimental arboriculture; that others
have asked the State to print the pro-
ceedings of societies: that most State
institutions have demanded larger APP
preparations; that county officials will
overwhelm the Legislature with a lobby
and force the passage of fee and sal
airy law continuing all the abuses OF a
system which both parties have de-
nounced time and again as exorbitant
and burden upon the people. Know
ing that the people cannot be at the
Statehouse the whole session to oppose
these propositions. there is an appre-
hension that some of these schemes
will succeed because the influence of
the lobby may cause the majority to
forget the existence of the mass of
voters. If the people at home and the
taxpayers knew that legislators would
be left to themselves they would not
dread" legislative days. but the days
of dread can be made few if the
Legislature will at the outset show by
some avowal or act that it's members
realize the conditions which give bust
ness men and taxpayers the feeling of
aDprehenSiOp
