The New York Dispatch was the
first newspaper to exploit and assist |
the Tennessee Centennial and Inter
national Exhibition. Since the gi- !
gantic fraunds at the recent election
in that State. by which Mckinley
electors were counted ont have been
made public, we do not see why the
North should take any further inter-
est in Tennessee or anything that
concerns it. 1t is henceforth an out
lawed State.-New York Dispatch.
This is too bad, aud we are
outlawed because the people in
New York know 80 much more
about our business than we do
ourselves? And the ponderous
'intelIects which control the New
York Sun. and Dispatch, Louis
Vile Courier Journal, and other
bilious and splenetic productions,
know of gigantic frauds in Ten
nesset? We ere not going to
outlaw New York City because
it is so terribly wicked, on the
authority Of granny Parkhurst
and the other Grannis, for we be-
lieve, like Sodom, there may
possibly be some decent people
in it until 1t is proved they are
absorbed and corrupted by the
Others. But why jump on Ten
nessee and the Centennial, unless
it is their intention to give US
some free advertising. We res
member the idea of the late Mr..
Blaine was to claim everything
and admit nothing in political
matters and that policy seems to
be very generally carried out by
the present political managers.
We are cognzant that bad
laws poorly carried out may al"
low the abuse of election laws,
and ifthere are any cases in Ten,
nessee, no matter whom it may
hurt, we want the offenders pun"
ished.
But while these papers know
everything about Tennessee, why
are they so silent about the phen
ominal vote in Ohio, and Othel
states where the proportion 0:
vote to population is so glsring'

must be right, when it suits then
but to jump on Tennessee, a
they are doing, suggests to man!
the idea that by crying ''wolF
attention may be diverted from
other States where atrocltle
may have been committed.

as capable of conducting thei
own affairs as those of New York

THE VIOLET TRAIN.

Nothing is more remarkable than the
growth of the flower industries in Lon
don. Not many years ago flowers
were expensive luxuries, only to be
obtained in early spring by those who
could afford to pay fancy prices, now
any one may purchase in tie streets
for penny the most lovely flowers from
the Sicily Islands, Holland and the
South of France. Every flower has it's
allotted week or fortnight while the rush
is on, the jonquils, the hyacinths and the
violets. just now violets are in full
swing, and every day three trains leave
the South of France for Paris laden with
them. The train which reaches Paris
at o'clock in the morning is the one
which supplies the French capital; the
burden of the other two trains is dis.
persed all over Europe, but more espec-
tally to England. The violets are collect
ed all along the Mediterranean shores,
are packed in little wickerwork baskets.
and sent off by express train.
The cost of transport is at the rate of
penny a pound, and each truck con-
tains between four and five tons Of vio-
let's. Here in London the flower girls
sell them in the streets from their bask-
cts. but in Paris they are sold from little
carts at a penny bouquet, and every
body buys them, needless of the fact
that they are the Napoleonic emblem
A few years ago any one who wore but
tonhole of violets would have been put
down as an enemy of the Republic, but
it shows how dead the idea of Napol-
comic revival is in France when every
man in the streets wears its badge with.
out any thought of the pretender across
the frontier. Otherwise, the utter dislo-
cation into which parliamentary govern
ment has fallen in France might, coupled
with the wearing Of the violet, have
given rise to hopes for the restoration of
the Empire.-The London Globe.

THE BOY WHO NEVER RETURNED.
BY REV. ROBERT MCINTYRE D.

In the glory and glow of day like this,
When the women are lifting their babies to kiss
The hero who wades through the tides of cheers
OF the multitudes looking through mist of tears,
As he breasted the batteries ir hiss
In the deathless days; when high In the sun
"Old Glory rides through the smiling sky,
On the trumpet's blast-oh, 1 miss the one
Who flung us backward his fond goodbye"
From his youthful soul that burned
With exultant ardor to share the Strife
When the patriot paid for love with life.
Roll SLOW o drum! Wall low, fife!
For the boy who never returned.
This morning his mother bright chaplets made,
And she wOve his face in each bloomy braid;
While her wistful eyes were gazing South,
She whispered the name, with quiveiing mouth,
OF that warrior lad, by the strane ers laid
To sleep where the waves of the lone lagoon
Creep round the grave of her boy in blue,
And the winds in the cypress thickets Groom
His dirge on the bank of the dark bayou.
"Oh my bonnie sonl" she yearned:
"Oh, to feel the clasp of thine empty sleeve.
Or the bitterest sweet on earth-to grieve
Above thy dust, and this wreath to leave
Ger my boy who never returned
List! thou loyal woman, he is not there;
Did not thy child with his comrades. fare
In spectral battalions along the street?
Though we heard no tread of their phantom feet,
Their shadowy banners swept the air,
And our stormy shouting was meant in part
For the white host hid from our mortal eyes,
Who came to comfort their countrys heart
From their tents in the meadows Of Paradise.
Yea, clad In the fame he earned,
n.
OF the river of life as he came in the dim
Old days when the Nation had need of him,
The boy who never returned.

We can market good mutton in the
worlds market with little competition,
but wool must compete with the product
from South America, Australia and
other countries where it is cheaply
raised, but where high grade mutton
sheep will not be raised for many dec
ades. Our opportunity is, therefore, in
doing our best with early mutton and
the best of wool.
Even at the present low prices of wool,
considering the amount of capital in
vested, sheep may be made to pay fully
as good per cent Of profit as any other
stock; but good sheep must be kept,
and in good thrifty condition. Money is
we'll invested when placed in good
grade of sheep, although the cost is
little more.
Sucking sows will usually breed be-
fore their pigs are weaned, but it is un-
safe to permit this. Such close breeding
may be with success for season or two,
but where they have two filters year
their powers of recuperation will be ex.
hausted after the third or fourth time.
and they farrow filters which are fail
ures.
With all animals, whether feeding for
growth or to fatten, it is the amount of
food which is digested and assimilated
which is of benefit. If feeding to pro-
cure the best results this must be kept
in mind. Here comes in the advantage
of grinding or cooking the food for the
hogs Soaking the grain softens it;
grinding makes it easier to soften.
Southern fiockmasters can find the
purer rams only in the North. Moreover,
no matter for what purpose sheep are
grown, wool is an object; and since the
thicker fieeces are 10 the colder climate,
it is the part of wisdom to go North for
the rams. and that every season. They
and their progeny lose in the weight of
the fleece in Southern chimes, year by
year.
When the lambs are to be taken away
from the ewes in the spring there is
need for the greatest care on the part
of the shepherd to avoid the danger
from milk fever. Succulent food should
be withheld and the eve put on dry food
for few days until the milk flow is
wholly stopped, even at the risk of her
refusing to eat.
From the fourth week on the young
pigs need care on their own account, as
they want other food than that from
their dams, and, as this is the most i'm
portant and profitable period of their
lives. the attention given should not be
hindered nor slackened; and yet the
temptation is to bestow the more care
to the older hogs.
While there has been slight advance
in the price head of mich cattle,
enough to encourage an increase in the
number raised throughout the country,
there has been in the past year decrease
in the number of all other kinds of stock
upon our farms; but in mich cows there

While it is largely the custom of our
farmers to follow clover with corn, it is
an equally good preparation for almost
any other crop we may wish to plant.
Its mechanical effect is hardly of less
value than its direct fertilizing virtue.
1t loosens the soil by penetrating it,
and, when decayed. leaves the earth in
fine mechanical condition.
The farmer who has hauled his man
ures at odd times to his pastures and
spread them evenly over the ground can
now go out and witness the good effect
of his work. He will not be long in sus-
pense hereafter as to how best manage
his manure heap. To let this product
lie around the yard until half it's fertiliz
ing qualities are leached away is folly.
The rains OF springs are usually exact
ly right to take with them, deep down
into the soil, the rich liquids of the mar
ure which has been spread upon the
pasture lands, and the grasses take on
new life. In turn, the stock get the
benefit of it, and the good effect upon
the pastures will be permanent.
1t is said that when the top of the sill
age gets warm adding water causes
mould to quickly form as blanket over
it, and seals the contents away from the
air better than any other plan which
has been tried. 1t is certainly cheap
cover, and no other could be put on more
easily or at 80 little expense.
1t is personal attention and inspection
and close familiarity which count for so
much in reaping sure success in the
conduct OF farm. Smaller farms will
pay better profit to their owners who
are willing to do work of a high order
than skimming over large tracts with a
confused idea as to general results.
In some localities tarred paper collars
are used about cabbage plants to keep
them free from maggots. A mixture of
pulverized sulphur and lime placed about
the stems after the plants are set out is
certainly efficacious. Scratch the dirt
away. sprinkle the powder close, and
cover with the earth again.
II too much trouble to spray the plants
in the garden with tobacco solution
when infested with insects. at least pro-
cure the refuse leaves and stems and
use them over the surface. Tobacco
not only drives away or kills insects, but
it is an excellent fertilizer as we'll. If it
can be had for the hauling, do not let the
chance go by.
The business of farming can never be
truly said to be overdone so long as there
is room at the top, and it is toward the
top that every one should aim by giving
his best attention, industry and intelli-
gence to whatever branch of the bust
ness seems best fitted to his special cir
cumstance.

Selected Story.
ON ROSE DAY.
BY NJ. H. CATHERwooD.

T DO believe this is rose day." said
Infant, standing on the top step
of the veranda in delight.
81 know it's soap-boiling day." as
serted her twin sister, who had been
baptized Marilla Victoria when she
was baptized Infanta Isabella, nearly
fifty years before. These twins en-
tered the world at period when
fowery, daring names were the ex-
IRENE of fashion, and previous
to the great rebound to plain and
strong Ann, Elizabeth, Mary, Han
nah, Jane and their various combina-
tions. Infant came very near being
labelled Lovey Lucilla, and she felt
thankful for her escape, and even at
tached to her diminutive.
Belle would never have suited her
(she was not belle while Infant did
not shame her (she was more or less
an infant at any age) She was slen-
der, blue-eyed and smooth-skinned,
so smooth that wrinkles could scarcely
make their indentation. And it
never ceased to be appropriate for
her to wear her hair in braid down
her back, tied with ribbons the color
of the dress she wore. Infant herself
could not separate the gray hair from
the blond, nor did she care whether
it was all blond or all gray. She
scampered over a fence AMI swung
in the cherry trees. Her long tranced
girlhood never ended; and the slow
life of the farm, simple as grass and
wholesome as new milk, kept up the
illusion that time was eternity. In
their neighborhood these twins had
been the Baldwin girls when they
first toddled into meeting, when they
went off to be educated at an expen-
sive school, when they came back to
paint and to play on grand piano,
when their parents died and they
took charge of the farm; and the
Baldwin girls would probably be
their title when they should become
contemporary with all living grand
mothers.
Occasionally Infant felt a shock
from the growing power of young
children. 1t was so astonishing to
see a creature who was baby but a
short time ago, shooting aloft, long
armed and long-legged, and an
nouncing itself in the teens. Such
phenomena did not astonish Rilla,
however. She resented them. Though
she had the same fair complexion
and comedy make as her sister, a
deadly drop of acid had been added
to her nature. Her shoulders were
bent. She loved to hear people
talked about, and to lift the corners
of her nose with scorn. She felt
abused by much that had happened
to her on this planet, and yet too in
significant in her own personality to
take it out of the human race as she
desired to do. The freedom, ease
and scope of mature unmarried
womanhood were in no wise appre-

HORTICULTURE

Immature plants are usually deficient
in nutrlment in proportion to weight
and that this is especially true of corn
has been frequently pointed out. 1t has
been shown by careful experiment that
one acre of rye, cut when in bloom, at
fords as much nutriment as two and
one third acres will. if cut 30 days sooner,
before heading out.
In many States of the Union many of
of the farmers have already abandoned
fruit raising, believing the professional
grower only, with his spraying machine
and other apparatus. is able to success
fully Withstand the present annual raw
ages of insects. Is it not about time TO
protect our birds, before worse condi-
ton of things comes?
Our gooseberries and currants are usu-
ally left to grow as they will, uucultivated
and untrimmed. They should have a
rich loan, should be pruned every year,
leaving not more than half dozen main
stems or branches. Even though there
may sometimes be less in quantity of
fruit, it will be much finer after this
procedure.
Do not attempt the raising of too many
varieties of apples. If for home use, they
should be timed to come in at all seasons;
but for market too many kinds will
make great deal of trouble, without
yielding corresponding degree of bene-
fit. Let neither the early nor the late
supply consist OF more than one or two
good varieties.
In this country we have many honey
plants which are ignored, except by the
bees. who detect their presence afar off
and fly to them for their treasures. Bee
keepers have not yet demonstrated b
actual experiment whether it would pay
TO cultivate these wild plants for the
bees, or whether it is more profitable TO
let them grow wild, undisturbed.
