smaI Farm. p.v n..t

Nearly all farmers are coming to
realize that in general their farms are
too large for the intense and careful
farming now necessary to meet the de-
mands of the market and to secure
profitable returns. The pioneers who
FIRST settled in these broad fertile val
leys were not satisfied unless their
farms were large enough to consume q
full day in interviewing their crops and
their live stock scattered over their
broad acres. To them quality was not

Lime as special fertilizer for the
sugar beet On all except extremely light
soils has given promising results in
Germany and at the Rhode Island sta
tion. 1t usually increases the yield and
is also said to increase the sugar con-
tent. In this conviction American llgri-
Fculturist says, We would net wifih to
indorse either proposition, but we do
urge that experiments with and with
out lime be tried by beet growers this

After Innururation.

After the fatigue of reviewing the
vast procession that followed him
"home," and of leading the promenade
at the Inauguration ball, the president
is left alone in his glory, the first mani
festation of which is stack of boxes
reaching halfway to the ceiling, filled
with applications for Office. Now he
is president indeed. Those preliminary
boxes, nearly every caller, letters by the
thousand, and large willow trunks full
of papers delivered with regularity from
the departments, remind him that the
United States expect every president
to do his duty by the party which
elected him. With large experience
of this sort of thing. extending over a
longer series of years than ever before
fell to the lot of an American executive.
Mr.. Cleveland began his second term
with months of labor, broken each day
in the small hours of the morning. BY
this effort the path of executive duty
was merely opened, and the harrass-
ment of of1iceseekers slightly abated;
but the gain to the president was, as a
rule, matter of minutes at meal time,
and half hour with his family after
dinner, with return to his desk be-
tween nine and ten in the forenoon,
while the midnight oil continued.-Cen-

Notes On New Costumes for the Conn
ing Season.
Pale si1ver-gray moire is very FASH
ionably used for elegant Lenten cos
tunes.
Quaint little Normandy bonnets with
peaked crowns and shirred brims ac-
company many Of the costly Lenten
gowns. The majority of them are
made Of fabrics matching the costume,
and very often a tiny mouchoir muff is
added that is suspended from the neck
by a narrow ribbon or a tiny cord of
finest gold.
Many of the warp-printed summer
fabrics already displayed are far pret-
tier and more delicate in effect than the
deeply woven patterns. This process
appears as we'll on heavy as on very
diaphanous textiles, and the vague
shadowy designs are particularly beau
tiful on French organdies, batistes and
semi-transparent silks.
The new skirts are gauged, corded,
tucked, knife-plaited or laid in finer ac-
Gordon plaits. They are considerably
less faring without losing any hing of
their attractive cachet, and are much
less cumbersome than the skirts of past
seasons. Some of the new skirts are
shirred on the hips alone, the back plain
and full, the front forming an apron
that is trimmed down each side.
Trimmed skirts will be very much in
evidence among Forthcoming gowns
both for day and evening wear, but not
to the exclusion of the plain, elegant,
undecorated models so long favored,
and still preferred by many of fashions
leaders.
The possession of half dozen pretty
slip waists of net, chiffon, fancy taffeta
silk, or satin affords the wearer any
number of beautiful changes of the
toilet at comparatively small expense
AIS IL yards of black satin or moire
will make the effective background for
all of these various changes, this num-
Der OF yards being all that is required
for gracefully gored skirt, bolero
jacket or deep or narrow girdle, as
best suits the wearer.

much jet garniture upon them, especial
ly on the bodice and sleeves. Accordion
plated black mousselaine de sole, silk
etamine, net, tulle and other diaphan-
GUS textiles are highly popular, made
up over watered silk and black crepe de
chine, black taffeta silk trimmed with
rows Of velvet ribbon or jet-a very old
style revived-are all noted among the
newest evening toilets worn. Black
India crepe over moire is made up with
a very effective and elegant embroidery
of cut jet and French brilliants laid
over velvet ribbon-a style less garish
than it sounds; and green velvet and
cerise satin are oddly and strikingly
used upon black velvet, satin and tran
sparent black toilets. Any number Of
new black nets are brought out and will
be used as transparencies over cerise,
nauve, Spanish yellow, pink, old rose,
ETC., as well as over black or white moire
satin or taffeta.-N. Y. Post.

Excellent sweet sandwiches are made
from nuts and stoned raisins chopped
fine and moistened with a very little
icing. These are used best with brown
bread or crackers. Candied fruits, cher
ries, plums, or pineapples make de-
licious sandwich filling, minced fine and
moistened with wine or lemon juice. 1t
Is a golden rule of all sandwiches that
the filing should be minced if possible,
and moistened into paste with some
suitable sauce, juice, or other amalgar
mator. A tablespoonful of whipped
cream is useful for this purpose, or
plain cream may serve. If the cream Is
used with meat, it should be saIted, if
with fruit, sugar may be added.-N. X.

Dyspepsia

The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the. nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The state
ment President Mckinley recently
made that he had given Minnesota
more good federal offices than any
former president is certain to
cause him some trouble. No one will
question the truth of the statement
that he has given Minnesota more
offices than any other chief eXecu
tive, and the fact that he has is resent
ed by members of congress and pat
ronage brokers from other Western
and Northwestern states. The best
the president has done for Wisconsin
up to date is the selection of an In
dian commissioner and consul general
to Berlin. Senator Spooner thinks
he is entitled to more favors than he
has secured. North Dakota has been
able to get a man appointed consul
general to Melbourne, and this APP
pointment, it is said, has caused eX-
IRENE dissatisfaction in North Dakota.
There are three of the Northwestern

DowLING,s SALARY FIXED.

DETROIT, July 15.-The new executive COM
mittee of the league held its initial meeting
in the Hotel Cadillac this evening. Chicago
was continued as the leagues headquarters
and the Omaha convention date was left to
President Crawford and the committee. A
new plan of assessments for realizing money
was adopted and the secretaryS salary was
fixed at $1,000 On the question of fixing the
secretarys salary the president stated that
last years executive committee fixed it at
not to exceed AGO per year, and the secre-
tary collected what little he actually got as
best he could, chiefly through contributions.
The secretary's position now was that if he
was obliged to collect the money himself that
his salary should be $4,000, but if the execu-
tive committee agreed i'll writing to pay him
400 he would accept it and hold the COM
mittee responsible for payment After some
discussion it was decided to levy an assess
ment on each state of 81 per head, accord
ing to the representation of the respective
state leagues in the national conventions.
The assessments are to be paid not later
Secretary Bowling thought little OF the as
sessment plan, judging from past expert
assess until doomsday, but it never would
be paid. No New England states, excepting
Rhode Island had ever paid assessments. No
Southern state except Kentucky, Tennessee,
Texas and a portion of Virginia had paid.
Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wis
consin were the only Western states that
had paid up. Most Of the members present,
however. promptly assumed responsibility for
payment of their state assessments. The sec
retarys salary was at first fixed at 81 400 but
after some discussion it was raised to- So 800

guaranteeing It, 1t was voted that no state
which failed to pay its assessment should be
entitled to representation in the next con-
vention.

notice that at the '9S convention he would

OMAHA GETS THE NEXT CONVEN-
TION IN SPITE OF SOME OP-
POSITION.

DETROIT, Mich, July 15.-Michael
J. Bowling was elected secretary of the
L ague of Republ can clubs, and Omaha
was selected as the place for holding
the next convention, according to the
programme. There was some talk
early in the day of opposition to
Bowling, but his victory was an easy
one. Over the matter Of the place for
the next convention, q warm fight was
made by the friends of Baltimore and
the closing half-hour of the session
was somewhat stormy.
The new president, Mr.. Crawford,
called the convention to order at II
o'clock. A motion was passed directing
that copies of the plank in the plat
form urging the passage of discrim-
mating duty act for the protection OF
American shipping in the foreign trade
be sent to the president, vice president
and members of congress. The list of
vice presidents was then read as fol
lows:

Iowa, John S. McQu.ston; Indiana, j. w.

When nominations for secretary were
called for, Mr. Payne came forward and
presented the name of Ora E. Chaplin,
of Chicago, in a vigorous and some
what sensational speech. Melville w.
Hayes, of Ohio, nominated Fred j.
Blakely, of Michigan. D. S. Reese, of
Minnesota, presented the name of Mi
chael J. Bowling for secretary. Ee
predicted that the battle royal in the
politics of the country was coming
within the next two years, and the
league must have a man in charge OF
the details of its organization who was
tried and true, and experienced. Min
nesota was considered doubtful in the
last campaign, but on election day she
showed up $4,000 plurality for McKin-
ley. The position of Minnesota was
that of Michigan's guest, but Michigan
ought not to bring a candidate against
the present faithful, efficient secretary.
The vote resulted: Bowling, 1,2S9:
Chaplin, $50 2-S; Blakely, SO Is 1t was
made unanimous for Bowling.
