proposition is this: That unless we

should not for moment think of

On the other hand, if the city can bp

districts as it is now lighted by gas.
for an amount of money that will be
saving 20 the city, the proposition
is a good one. We should not accept
poorer lighting system at a reduc-
ti0n of even 800 year and then
awake to the realization that the city
is inadequately lighted. The CON-
pany proposes to put in only five ar,
lights. There would be no danger
in that event Of the inhabitants
of Mars being attracted by the
illumination from Wellington. And
then the calculations are based on
moon schedule. e. no lights will. be
furnished when the moon is above the
horizon. The city will have 10 replace
the burned out lamps with new ones
about every eight months, and then
the $500 alleged reduction would
be eaten up in that and other inciden-
tails expenses the city will have to
bear. In any event, there is little ex-
cuSe for rushing a franchise through
the council by Saturday night. Mr..
Hunter is going to put in an electric
lighting system, and the city can resi-
assured that he will furnish lights for
it whenever the same are desired.
Tie gravest mistake that can be made
10 the matter will be to grant that
franchise without due delibrratiOn.

A Tin 10 Office Seekers.

Washington, d. C., Mar. 10 With
out ayiug down any general princi-
pies upon questions of patronage, the
president is giving the Office seekers to
understand just what they must do.
He is also imprtssiUg upon the sena-
tors aDd representatives a sense OF
their responsibility. Today one OF
the White House callers was a well
known writer, whose acquaintance
with the president is of some years
standing. This man said to Mr..
Mckinley:
II have not brought any papers, for
you know me as well as anybody.
Still, If it is necessary, will get some
letters"

senators Of your state"
Il doubt If can get the senators,

The applicant explained.
You'd better get the senators il
you can" said Mr.. Mckinley, and
then he turned to another visitor.
A certain senator called at the
White House and showed a list of
candidates from his state for consul
ships. There were between forty and
fifty names on the list.
"YOu don't want me TO appoint all
If these, do you?" asked the presi-
dent.

senator. "They are all good men.
I'd like to have you appoint as man!

How many places in the consular
service do you think your state is en-
titled to?" the president asked.
II should think we ought to puiI

said.

"NotSo difficult for you as for me.
argued the president. "You know

that it would be embarrassing fol
me to indicate preference in many
Cases"
"YOu want me TO assume that EN-

Care of indictments.


Take care Of the farm implements
and machinery. It would seem that
no warning is necessary on this point,
but it would surprise the general read
er if he were travelling over the coun-
try to note the evidences of careless
ness that are so often seen. The provi-
dent and painstaking farmer has
place for his implements where he sees
ito it that they are housed and properly
cared for when they are no longer re-
Quired in the cultivation Of the crops.
His improvident neighbor sometimes
leaves his implements where they are
used last or about his premises, with
out shelter. Even his harvester or
moving machine is left in the field long
after it has been used, subjected to
all kinds of weather and inevitable in
jury. The cost of repairs is necessar
lily increased under such inexcusable
neglect, and the period when a new
machine will be necessary is much
shortened. The care Of tolls is an i'm
portant factor in farm economy, and a
word in season, while not necessary for
the provident man, may be serviceable
to such as are too remiss in this direc-
ton

Dairying in Russia.

Following is a description Of the
manner Of dairying in Russia. Our
readers will doubtless prefer the home
method. Those who reside near cities
produce some poor butter and some
milk for sale, but those living remote
from market produce no more than
they can consume. The COWS are fed
in winter on coarse food, such as oat,
barley and rye straw. In summer they
give but little milk, twelve to fourteen
pounds per day at mOst.g The milking
is done by stripping with thumb and
finger. The milk is set in cellars in
earthen crooks, which are so porous
that they are very hard to clean, and
the milk sours very quickly. To avoid
this difficulty some of the peasants
keep a number Of small frogs in their
cellars for the purpose of putting in
their milk, their idea being that these
cold creatures take the heat out of
their milk, and they put them in to
keep it sweet longer. The cream is
dipped off with wooden spoons and
churned in an earthen pot by stirring
with stick, and the butter is worked
with the hands.

squashes there are probably more Hub

The Shenherd.

The sheep in an animal that must be
kindly treated.
The small flock of sheep we'll cared
for will bring more net profit than the
big flock half cared for.
If early lambs are expected, be sure
and have place prepared not calcu-
lated to make them sorry they came.
The farmer who takes up the sheep
business with the idea that the outside
of the animal is worth more than the
inSide-the wool more than the carcass
gets hold Of the wrong end of the
dilemma. It's mutton first, and wool
afterward.-Alpha.
One bushel Of shelled corn or wheat
to every 100 head Of sheep per day is
about right Oats are excellent feed,
and Kaffir corn would be excellent. Do
not make their feed-troughs V-shaped,
as they will scoop up the shelled corn
too rapidly. Here is point that seems
unimportant, but it represents many
dollars a year difference.

Fencing Farms.


A farm should be divided into as few
fields as possible. It is not necessary
to have more than two fenced fields;
and these fields should be used only
for pasture, alternately. One year two
crops Of hay should be cut, and the next
year 1t should be used for pasture.
II possible have these pasture fields
close to the barn, SO that the stock can
be turned out day and night. Where
land is worth $75 to $3.50 per acre, 1t
does not pay to pasture. 1t is more
economical to grow soiAng crops and
feed the stock in the stable, having not
more than five or ten acres for the
stock to exercise in and Craze over.
The outside fence should be made of
four strands Of ribbon wire, setting the
posts twenty feet apart and thirty
inches deep in the ground. A fence of
this kind can be cheaply built, as the
posts can be obtained from the woods;
and If they have to be bought, they can
be had for eight cents each undressed,
delivered on the place. Some farmers
set the posts forty feet apart, driving
down stout oak stakes to fasten the
wire upon every ten feet. If the work
Is well done it will last for some ten
years, when new set Of stakes must
be put down.

The Dec Wing and Fordhook are
Squashes Of recent introduction. For
the home gardener the new White
Summer Crookneck is worthy of q trial.
1T averages little larger than the old
Crookneck, which 1t resembles in shape,
as seen in the accompanying engrav-
ing, but it's skin is Of a beautiful ivory
white color, and Its quality is not ex-
celled by any other summer squash.

SPRAYING.

Spraying has tendency to heighten
the color Of red apples and to give a
blush to the light skinned sorts. This
is due largely to the effect upon the
foliage. It must be considered that the
foliage is the lung Of the tree, and with
out good, healthy foliage we cannot
reasonably expect bright, healthy look

the apples will hang longer on the trees,
giving them more time to mature, so as
to bring them to the highest state Of
erfection-Montana Fruit Grower.
