The provincialism of the New York press
is demonstrated this time by Harper S
Weekly, which explains the small patron
age Of the summer hotels on the ground
that the season was unfavorable, July be-
ing wet and August-indeed, the whole sum-
mer-being abnormally cool and comforta-
ble" BY summer hotels it means only
those at the Atlantic coast resorts, of
course, the circumstance that such hotels
are numerous about the Western lakes and
ether distant parts of the country probably
having escaped its notice. AS matter of
fact however, the landlords of the seashore
hotels count upon the West for a large
proportion of their patronage. If they
missed the usual business this year the
weather could not be at fault SO far as this
class of visitors was concerned, for not
only was the summer west of the Allegheny
mountains not cool and comfortable, but it
was abnormally hot and uncomfortable
from the first of July on through August
and September. The Weekly will have to
try again.

MADISON. Ind, Oct. 5.-Governor Mount,
interviewed here tonight, stated Indiana
would probably not quarantine against Kerr
lucky. but simply place agents at St. LOUIS.
Louisville and Cincinnati to prevent refu-
gees from fever districts entering the State.
The measures taken would be mild, in no
wise interfering with commercial relations
between Indiana and neighboring States.

members of the state board which were
vague. If not misleading. Their action did
not contemplate a quarantine az a first step,
but an inspection to ascertain If such a.
measure was necessary. Unfortunately,
this distinction was not made clear. 1t is
not likely sthat any occasion will arise re-
quiring quarantine against Louisville. and
the delegation from that city returned per-
fectly satisfied with the action of the State

A leading London paper publishes a re-
port that strong syndicate of British cap
italists has sent the United States govern
ment, through Consul General Osborne, an
offer to purchase the Union Pacific Rail-
road. AS the government has decided to
sell the road at auction it will, of course,
decline to entertain private offer, but the
question arises, will it permit British
syndicate to become possessor of the road
under any circumstances? 1t certainly
ought not to. Whatever may be thought
of the propriety of allowing British capital
lists to make ordinary business investments
in this country, a great property like the
Union Pacific Railroad should not be per-
mitted to pass under foreign control. Orig
inaly constructed as means of connect
ing together the West and the East, it is
still a work of continental influence and
in the event of war would be of great mill
tary Importance. Its control should never
be permitted to pass out of American
hands.

Emit hx Roadaides

Probably the best use that can be
made of roadsides is to plant fruit trees
beside them, especially Of those that
are somewhat hard to gather in guam
tity. We have in mind a farmer who,
many years ago, planted a long row of
cherry trees on the roadside, and far
enough from the fence so that the trees
did not injure the crops inside the fields.
These trees never failed to furnish a
paying crop, and some years the cherries
were sold on the tree for four to five
dollars per tree, and still paid a good
profit to the man who bought the fruit.
Very few cherries were taken by pass
ersby, though the trees were beside a
well-traveled road. Most people while
going along highway are too busy to
stop, and the tramps VINO were not too
busy were generally too lazy. Probably
If peaches or pears had been thus ex-
posed the result would have been differ
ent Even then a few roadside trees
for the public would be apt to lessen
depredations on the neighboring or
chards, which near cities or large vii
lagos are the causes Of much loss to

Poultry PickinRs.


Don't have the focks of hens too
large. II you have more than seventy
FIVE or eighty, they ought to be sep
arated into smaller focks.
An egg contains from % to 27 per
cent. solid matter, nearly IA per cent.
albumen. That means that laying hens
need food rich in albuminous matter
meat, oatmeal, milk, bran, etc.
While poultry will not thrive on neg
lect, it Is well to remember that over
feeding and Lack of exercise are also
fruitful sources of loss in the poultry
yard.
If we would keep up the vigor and
fecundity of our fiocks we must nfuse
new blood into them. If service or
profit or vigorous growth is desired,
there must be frequent change of
cockerels In the flocks
Weed out the focks, disposing of
really old stock and the undesira BILE
young. A few good hens, well cared
for, will raise more chickens this sum-
mer than If great flock is crowded
together in unhealthy coops.
A Boston commission merchant says
that If farmers would market all the
chickens and eggs they can spare each
week, they would be surprised at the
regular income that they were receiv-
ing. and they would find more profit In
poultry.

skull Cut to Let the Brain Expant

Skull Cut to Let the Brain Expand.
A number Of surgeons in Atlanta,
Ga, have successfully performed an
operation which has let the light of in
telligence into the darkened mind of a
girl, who, at the age Of II years, had
the intellect of a baby. Her name is
Emily Woodruff, and she Is the niece of
w. B. Lowe, the wealthy railroad
builder and convict lessee. She is
strikingly pretty, and all her life has
passed without a single day Of illness.
But while she grew in physical vigor
her mind seven years ago ceased de-
veloping. Physicians in this country
and Europe were appealed to, but
never successfully diagnosed the case.
A short time ago young Atlanta
physician suggested that the trouble
was due to the fact that her skull was
too small to permit her brain to grow.
He Informed them that an operation
was possible, but the chances were
about even that it would prove fatal
A family council was held, and it was
agreed that they would rather have the
girl die than grow up an idiot. She was
taken to st. Joseph's hospital and the
operation was performed by a half
dozen surgeons. At the temple they
cut into the skull on either side, making
two holes a trifle larger than nickel
Beginning at these openings, they cut
through the skull In two straight lines
running back to point at
the back Of the head. This
cut was eleven inches long and formed
q perfect 'sv." The skull was lifted,
the wound bandaged and the little girl

Coral from AIablster.

By a process recently discovered
pure labaster can be transformed to
what is apparently res' coral. The col
oring matter completely permeates the
stone, and when bead of this imita-
ton coral is broken, it has all the ap-
pearance of the genuine material AS
regards external appearances, the imi-
tation is very perfect, every shade from
deep red to palest pink being repro
duced; but something in the coloring
matter imparts to the coral an objec-
tionable oleaginous odor. This, how
ever, is said to pass off with time. The
imitation can only be made from Cas-
tellina alabaster, and that of the finest
quality.

kicking Cows.

A Western agricultural writer says
that there are just as good mixers
among cows that do not kick as there
are among those that do. This, we
think. is hardly the fact. 1t is the ten
derness in the udder, caused by the
presence of large amount Of milk,
that makes careless handling of the
teats very painful. The result is that
the COW becomes a kicker, and soon
this grows into habit not easily brok-
en-. 1t is usually the fault Of the man
who breaks the heifer to being MIXED
who is responsible for her character as
a mixer. If the first operations on the
teats are gentle, drawing milk slowly
until the bag is. somewhat eased, milk
ing is soothing and pleasure-giving
process for the cow. For the first few
times the heifer is MIXED she should
have some appetizing feed set before
her, which she can eat while the milk
is being drawn. This should always
be given when there is danger that the
cow will hold up her milk. The COW is
q one idea animal When she is eating
heartily she cannot easily think Of any
thing else-American Cultivator.
