The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning

This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.

the stack or the shock? There is
good deal to be said on both sides,
and, after all, the question is one that
must be determined by circumstances.
II the grain can be cut in good time,
well shocked, the weather settled, and
the machine and help available when
wanted, we believe it is best to thrash
direct from the shock. This, however,
occurs only once in a while. The
weather east Of the Missouri cannot be
depended upon, neither can thrashing
machines nor help at this season of the
year. Even when help can be obtained
1t is higher priced than later. The
farmers by stacking their grain and
letting It go through the sweat can
change work and get through with very
little outside labor. The probability is
that the wheat will be put in the mar
ket in better condition and bring as
good or better price. Forty years ago
the man who was near the mill had
an early variety of grain, and thrashed
from the shock in nine cases out of
ten got a better market than if he
stacked and thrashed later. The price
of wheat now is not determined by the
local mill. but by the general market,
and this again is determined not by the
supply in the county or state, or even
the United States, but by the markets
of the world. Before any Iowa farmer
can thrash his grain now, grain will
be pouring in from Texas, Kentucky.
Kansas and Missouri: in fact it is be-
ginning to come into market already.
Our conclusion, therefore, is that ex-
cept in exceptional circumstances it is
best to stack and begin thrashing as
soon as the grain is in the right con-
ditiOn.

route, some shippers saying IN fAcE
that they hardly recognize their cattle
as the same bunch they loaded. OF
course as the season advances this con-
dition of affairs will improve, but so
general IL the complaint of poor flesh
and condition all over the range coun-
try it now looks as though receipbs at
market would be unprecedentedly small
until the 10th or 18th of September.
Where in ordinary years killers would
take whole trainload of one brand,
this year they hardly want to buy
more than three or four cars, 30 fear
ful are they of the way the stock Is
going to kill out. Such cattle as have
been good enough to bring say 1886
or better have sold fairly readily, but
those which will be noted as selling
under that figure have sold slowly, the
very excellent condition of southern
grass cattle this year largely account
ing for this. Killers can get these
latter at $S.4O to 1886, and being
smaller boned than the westerns, they
kill out more satisfactorily, and thus
can be handled more profitatly than
rangers costing the same figure. The
killers are acting toward range cattle
much the same as the lover of water
melon does toward that fruit when it
first appears on the maTket-wants to
see the inside Of it before he pur-
chases. Since in the meantime the
condition Of range cattle units them
for eastern or export buyers and there
Is thus practically no competition for
them on this market we advise ship
pers who are tributary to the South
Omaha or Denver market to go there
with their cattle. AT those points both
int and feeder stock is in demand. 0ma-
ha is particularly we'll situated at pres
emit for handling these northwestern
rangers, as she is a great distributing
point for feeders and is increasing her
beef slaughtering as we'll. Another
and important point in her favor is the
recently established joint rate covering
stock cattle over the N. P. and c., M.
& st. P. roads. We, of course, have
no desire to say anything against one
market to benefit another, but we
think it only just to the shipper to adj
wise him Of our opinion as regards the
most advantageous point for the dis
posal Of his stock cattle.

ton:
Descriptive.-This popular and valu-
able vegetable needs but very little de-
scriptiOn. It is a native of Europe,
where 1t may be found growing wild
along the borders of sea marshes. Ger
tain species are grown as ornamental
plants. The undeveloped stem is the
part used as food.
Culture.-Propagate by means of
seed. The seed may be bought Of seed
dealers or taken from the small red
berries found in autumn upon the
mature stems of old plants. If the
latter method is adopted proceed in the
Following manner: Select the largest
and incest branches; pick of the ber-
rles and gently mash; wash out the
pulp with water and dry the seed.
Sow the seed in early spring in rows
WIDE enough to permit cultivation.
Plants should stand about to 5 inches
apart. Select a rather rich soil for the
seed bed. The young plants may be
transplanted in the permanent bed the
following spring, or the transplanting
may be deferred until the second
spring. Too much care can not be
given to the preparation of the per-
manent bed. Select an open situation
where plenty Of sunshine falls. Natur-
ally, the plant prefers a damp situa-
ton, but can be made to thrive very
well on dry soil, if proper cultivation
is given. The soil should be rich. Sub
soil or trench the bed, adding large
quantities of manure well rotted COW
dung is preferred). If the plantation
is large the rows should be at least 2
feet apart. Put the plants IL inches
apart. The roots Of the plant must be
spread out equally in all directions.
This Is hest attained by constructing a
small mound of earth in the center
OF 'h7 hole, place the plant upon the
top of the mound and let the roots
extend down the sides. Cover with
cath and firm with the foot. The
crcTn of the plant should be two
inches under ground. During the grow
ing season cultivate and keep down
all weeds. At end of season cut OF
the tops and cover the bed with coarse
manure. Remove the litter in early
spring. Crt the young shoots at the
surface of the ground using a strong
bladed KNIFE.

characteristics are long central stem
surmounted by an open head of leaves,
and numerous small heads ~ inch, or
larger in diameter) arranged, around
the stem in the axis of the leaves.
These small heads are termed
sprouts" The vegetable originated
in Belgium and has been cultivated ex-
tensively around Brussels since the
thirteenth century. Requires the same
treatment as cabbage. Soil must be
rich. Requires considerable moisture.
The small sprouts must grow rapidly
or they will be tough. Sow seed in hot
bed and transplant, or scatter seed in
hills and thin. Plants must have
plenty of room. Rows should be thir-
ty inches apart and the plants not
closer than two feet. Ordinary culture
will suffice. Some authorities advise
that the sprouts should be frosted be-
fore using. Our experience is that it
causes a bitter taste. Sprouts half
inch in diameter are said to be much
more palatable than the large ones

Of a plain bean-pole, seven or eight

sure to set these stakes in a straight
line, and all uniformly perpendicular,
or, perhaps, slightly leaning. Then
trim the plants to one or two stalks,
uniformly. Keep all branches nipped

A Customer ssnnrad.

A young man in a dry goods store
In Boston was endeavorlng to sell a
customer some goods. He had a guam
tity on hand which he much desired
to dispose of, as they were not of the
freshest style, and the man seemed
inclined to take them.
When the goods had been examined
and the bargain was about to be con-
cluded the customer inquired:
Are these goods the latest style?"
The young man hesitated. He
wanted to sell the goods, and it ap-
peared evident that if he said they
were the latest style the man would
take them. But he could not tell a lie,
and he replied:
"They are not the latest style of
goods, but they are a very good style"
The man looked at him, examined
some other goods Of later styles, and
said:
Il will take those of the older style,
and some of the new, also. Your hon.
esty in stating the facts will fasten
me to this place."
The man not only sold his goods
and kept a good conscience, but he
also retained a customer whom he
might never have seen again, If he
had not spoken to him the exact truth.
There is no permanent gain in false
hood and deception. Righteousness
and truth are a sure foundation

1t has been proposed to celebrate the
consolidation Of the cities at the mouth
OF the Hudson into the greater city Of

such a structure in honor of it's crea-
