The Fourth Of July committee is doing
much active campaigning, and it Is to be
hoped that the result Of its labors will be
more inspiring than the local celebra-
tions Of the last few Fourths have been,
A grand f1zzle is always infinitely more
humtliating than an ominous silence,
and partisan or political celebration of
national holiday leaves in the mouth
taste that strongly resembles the un-
holy odor of putrid garlic and dessicated
assafoetida
He who puts throttler on his enthus-
iasm because some enemy or hypocrite
or bloodsucker happens to get on the
committee of celebration is hypochon-

The utter recklessness with which a
few hundred Of the drivers Of this city
urge their teams along the most crowded
streets is one of the Sights of the city.
Anyone with half an eye can see half a
dozen "smash-ups" on any pleasant
afternoon. A few arrests and convic-
tions for damages resulting from such
criminal carelessness would have very
wholesome effect upon the balance Of the
hasty tribe.
The bicycle "scorchers" are no less
numerous and no less Objectionable Ir
many parts OF the city they still uSurp

nances. 1t may be that the ownership
of horses and dogs and bicycles confers
special and divine rights upon even the
most obstreperous and irresponsible
creatures, but there are some who can
not see the matter in that light and who,
in their ignorance and weakness, de-
mand some little respect and protection.
Again it has become my painful duty
to remind the city non-illuminating
company that this city pays for light for
the purpose of dispelling darkness, not
for occasional spectacular effects. The
electric lights should be made to shine
when the moonlight is not bright, not
when the almanac indicates that the

Tbinnine ORCHARD Trees.

Everyone can and does take an in
terest in the fruit garden. 1t is pleas
ure to see a well kept orchard, with
trees in thrifty condition, for then we
may expect fine fruit; but without pay
ing attention to the trees first quality
fruit cannot be had. When the weather
will permit, the present is good sea-
son to thin out apple trees, pear
trees, ETC.; of course, to thin them out
in satisfactory manner requires judg-
ment. In going around we often see
neglected trees with far too much wood
in them; thin any such, that the fruit
can get light and sunshine. It is bet
ter to have one barrel of f1rst-class APP
pies than two or more of inferior quail

the latter part of June, or else when
farm work is mainly finished in the
fall. Much of the time during the
year the cobblestones remain on the
streets, drainage imperfect, but the
tax is worked out, and the road must
care for itself most of the year.
This method prevails in this city.
Road taxes to the amount of $4,000
to $4,000 are levied to keep the out
lying streets that are not paved in
condition. This money, under our
municipal arrangement, is parceled out
to some 20 councilmen to spend in their
wards, and twice year, late spring
and fall, the councilman has some
clever man, IN whose charge is a num-
Der of old men, who&have done their
hest days work long ago. They are put
to work on the streets, and they have
an easy time; the taxpayers get less
than 25 per cent. for their money, and
the public gets disreputable streets to
pass over. One of the greatest mis-
takes, l am led to believe, is the want
of knowledge on the part of those who
have the expanding of the money APP
propriated for road purposes.
If the state or the general govern
ment, through the agricultural depart
ment, would offer a few thousand dol
lars, say for five best methods of build
ing and repairing roads, and then have
a congress composed Of engineers and
other capable men to canvass these
propositions and agree on a manual
which could be formulated. with proper
illustrations, with all the questions
that would be useful 10 persons who
might have the care of roads, it would
be of the first Importance. Then there
should be for each state or county
load of engineers, who should each
Year, under direction of county COM
missioners, make surveys Of the roads,
presenting diagrams, which should be
filed and topics given to supervisors,
with proper instructions for caring
for the roads.
Engineers and those having care of
railroad beds understand that they
should be protected by thorough drain
age, but this is taken small account
of in streets and country roads. Let
the civil service rules apply to super
visOrs and roadmasters, and no one be
! ermitted to act as such until he had
been examined by the board of county
engineers, answering fully all the ques-
tons laid down in the manual, as
above, and his appointment approved
by the court. He should be required to
spend the money appropriated for
roads in n faithful manner, paving
he usual wages in the district, and to
employ able men to do the work
Proper penalties should be inflicted for
failure of duty on the part of anyone
intrusted with the expenditure of
money raised for road taxes; and all
taxpayers should be vigilant in see
ing that supervisors and roadmasters
are prompt in keeping roads in repair
all the year, instead of one or two
| months.-William III. Richmond, Scran-
ton, Pa, in n. Y. Tribune.

gins. \ delicate stomach refuses to
do this, and rids itself of the cold mass

Remedy for Hard Milking.

Hard milking is commonly due to a
small milk duct or want of elasticity of
the muscles that close the end of the
teat. This may be remedied by making
smooth wooden or bone peg, slightly
thicker IN the middle than at each end
and with a small knob at one end, to pre-
vent it from slipping into the duct.
After milking, this is well CREASED with
fresh vaseline and inserted in the teat.
In few days the tensions on the muscle
will loosen it, and the milking will be
freer. IT must not be continued too
long, or the contrary condition. run

WIDE-AWAKE FARMERS.

Michigan Fruit Growers Use the Tele-
phone to Great Advantage.
Farmers are generally looked upon
as slow thinkers, but there can hardly
be better piece of testimony as to the
intelligence of the agricultural COM
munities of this country than the fact
that they are largely adopting the tel
ephone, not only for communication
with adjacent or distant villages and
between themselves, but for receiving
weather warnings and keeping in touch
with the markets. In Michigan. for
instance, in the center of the great
peach growing district, a telephone
company has been organized by the
farmers, and 40 miles of wire is now in
operation, with IS stations. The fruit
growers find the service. of immense
value. Formerly, if the state of the
market had to be ascertained, for the
guidance of shippers, the fruit grower
had to harness up, and ride into Hart,
the central town, many miles away.
Now, the farmer goes to his telephone,
and in a few minutes knows what
prices are ruling. In fact, much of the
business which heretofore has required
trip to town is now transacted ., er
the wire. The cost of the installa ton
is said to have been small, and the sys-
tenn is to be extended within the next
few mont.'s.-St. Louis Globe Demo

PACKING BUTTER.

Good butter may be safely packed 20
keep six months or more if the right
way is taken. 1t used to be done years
ago, when it was the custom to keep the
surplus product for sale then, there
being no winter dairying to supply tae
demand. The butter must be naturally
good and sweet and worked quite free
from the buttermilk by thorough wash
ing. There need be no fear that this
will hurt the butter for it cannot take
anything from It, the fat being wholly
insoluble in water, and only the but
termilk will be washed ort of 1t, which
it must be, or it will be detriment to
the butter, as producing changes of the
fat into volatile acids by which the but
ter is made strong and finally rancid.
The best packages for this use are
glazed earthen jars or sweet, clean
white oak or spruce tubs, painted or
vanished ON the outside. The tubs
are soaked in brine, then scalded, then
rubbed with fine salt inside, and while
wet the butter is packed N them, being
firmly pressed down so as to leave no
vacancies in the mass.
When the package is filled to within
half an inch of the top, clean cloth,
or, better, some parchment paper, IS
fitted closely over the butter and half
an inch up the edge of the package.
Fine dry salt is then put in smoothly to
the top, then dry cloth, well washed,
is tied down firmly, then parchment

Experiments Prove Dairy Farming to Do
Founded on Rock.
In the dairy contest at the worlds
fair butter was male at cost of about
1919 cents per pound. The Minnesota
experiment station has since mads it
at cost of 10 cents per pound. Many
leading dairymen figure the cost at
about IL to Is cents. This includes the
cost OF feed at the market price, but
also the cost of labor, interest on the in
vestmeht, etc. You hear dairymen talk
on every hand when the price of cream
cry butter gets below 20 cents per
pound that there is no money in ttle
creamery, for when the four cents Fer
pound for making is deducted it brings
the price received nearly or quite down
to the cost, that is. figuring the cost as
above. at 10 to 13 cents. But there is
one thing, and a very important one,
too that they seem o overlook. In MAX

saved ourselves the trouble of drawing
those crops to market. a man can bet
ter afford to sell outer at the cost of
production than he can corn or oats or
wheat when the cost of a pound of but
ter includes the feed and labor at their
market value, as it does in the above
estimates because he has already re-
ceived his profits on his crops in the

explains why the dairy farmer, if he un-
derstands his business, is more prosper

arsenic which is applied to trees finally

of it? If lime has been used with the

ble that the organic acids in the soil.
and also carbonic acid, may dissolve
some of the arsenic, but it would be-

or other soil constituents. If soluble
arsenic is placed on the soil, it probably

plants appear to have the power to take
up every minute quantities of arsenic
and still thrive-probably so minute
that the incest chemical test can scarce

quickly destroys the roots. If, there
