REV. wILMAR's BLUEDER.l


The Syracuse, N. Y, STANDARD in its
issue of the 18th inst, publishes ex-
tracts from an address delivered by a
Rev. O. B. WILMAR OF Lynchburg, Va,
who alleged to be interested in the
mission work among the colored peo-
pie.
The meeting was that OF the Wom-
ems Auxiliary of the diocese Of central
New York and took place at Trinity
Church on the night of the 18th inst.
He said:
"'Since the war; the Negro has not
progressed. While slavery has gone,
emancipation in settling one problem
has given rise to Others that were not
present before. From the Egypt of
slavery there 10 not an easy transition
to the Palestine of freedom, between

Under slavery the Negroes were taught

were cared for generally By kind mas
tiers. Now the whites are cut of from
interesting themselves in the training
and occupations Of the people,"
The above is picture, so inviting
and pleasing as TO cause the reader to
imagine the convict the best cared for
individual on the face Of the globe,
and to wonder why all colored people
should not wish to be convicts.
The penal condition cited is anala-
gous. to that of slavery, for it is slavery
There they are being taught the in
dustrial arts, instructed ia the truths
of Christianity and religion, cared for
generality by kind masters" Why
should not all of US wish to take upon
ourselves such condition as we have
cited? Echo answers why?
" The Negroes are not so we'll trained
in industrial arts. The exhibition OF
Negro work at the Atlanta Exposition
could have been more than duplicated
before the war"
According to Rev. WILMAR's logic an
illitsrate person can be better trained
in the industrial arts than an educa-
ted one. The absurdity OF this propo-
sition is plainly manifest and the in
correctness OF his position self-evident.
There is more crime in the South
to-day among the Negroes in q week
than there Was in year before the
war"
We do not think that there is. 1t il

AFe,v Good Cannas.

There is a tremendous list of cannas to
select from, and the number increases
every year. Omitting newer introductlons
one may find an excellent selection, ca
pable of affording a fine show. Among
dark-leaved sorts. EgandaIe is especially
good; the leaves are purplish-bronze, flow
ers currant-red. When planted in mass
the flowers have a particularly vivid eff
feet. J. D. Cabos is a very good sort,
with dark foliage and apricot flowers; it
is vigorous and free, but the flowers burn
a little under very hot SUM- thus giving
a faded effect Among varieties with flow
ers giving an effect of yellow Though not
pure Yellow, Capitaine p. de SuZzoni and
Florence Vaughn are the best of the old
er sorts, the last named giving the more
vivid effect.
Among red-flowered sort we can select
a large list of meritorlous varieties. Fla
mingo, with it's vivid coloring, continues
to retain favor. Alphonse Bowler bears
compact spikes of purplish-carmine flow
ers; its growth is very neat, and it Is
altogether a very satisfactory sort.
Chicago has dazzling Vermillion flow
ers. Columbia, with brilliant crimson
flowers produced in a large cluster, and
very dwarf habits, is a beautiful thing
but does not seem quite as popular as il
promised at introduction.
In spite of all the new introductions
Nine Cozy has never been really super
coded among the yellow-ban sorts; II
is still the general utility Gamma Queer
Charlotte is a fine thing without a doubt
but an uninstructed eye does not see suf-
ficient difference between it and Nine
Crozy. Mrs. Fairnam Rogers introduced
last year, scarlet banded with yellow
seems to be extremely promising; We
have had glowing reports of 1t from New
England. In spite of all the new acqui-
sitions, the old Ehemanni, tall-growins
variety bearing dropping spikes Of Grim
son-pink blossoms, is still worth growing
the flowers are very beautiful.

Gluten Food.

Just now gulten feed is selling very low,
about $n per ton. and there seems to be
an increased inquiry about it, and with
it comes also complaint. of which last we
are called upon to explain, says Practical
Farmer. Gluten feed is quite rich in pro-
TEN. about 10 per cent, and low in starch,
and strong in fats. 10 per cent. Gluten Is
a valuable food with which to even up
corn fodder and hay ration, but at the
same time its excess of protein and fats
are apt to upset the calculations of the
feeder. Gluten feeds far better with
silage than with dry fodder Gluten fed
with dry food is constipating, and there
fore has a feverish tendency which mani
tests itself in various ways upon the milk
secretions, a tendency to stringy milk and
thick as we'll Cows do not like it a
steady grain ration, and if fed largely it
win have an irritating effect upon the
bowels. 1t has very little mineral matter
in it, and as food for calves and heifers
and growing stock in general is not near.y
so valuable as bran. OF course it would
be impossible TO dose" the gluten with
ashes, bone meal and the like, so that the
young stock would have material out OF
which to make frame, but we still think
bran, as a larger part of the ration, the
best plan for feeding. Other things DE-
ing equal a present prices, the food ele-
ments in gluten would only cost about
O.6 of cent. per pound, while $50 pounds
of protein in s. ton is worth about $25 as
filler for phosphate, and after being fed
to the cow, the protein and hanurial resi-
due Of a ton of it is worth about SIG, if we
remember correctly. Bran is a food of
when cows never tire, and so far as it
is concerned they give good milk, and 1t
has lime and potash enough in it for
all demands of the system, and while
other feeds have their value and friends
we think the dairyman is recognizing
more and more every day that bran Is the
standard protein food in his dairy, and is
buying accordingly.
