The Trend Of Horticulture.

From Lippincotrs
Unframed nature thinks only Of the
perpetuation Of its species. The wild
plants of field and forest, luxuriatiug
in the warming rays Of the summer
sun, extract from the soil the nour-
ishmeut and vitality essential TO the
completion of their little round oflife;
and then, having passed through
their short cycle Of existence, from
the bursting bud to the ripened fruit,
they droop and die. The mysterious
operation of growth ard death is re.
peated season by season. and one
generation is but a reduplication o.
all others, modified slightly by pc.
culiar conditions of soil and climate.
The pattern of nature is spread out
with glorious possibilities, but the in.
dividual efforts of the plants to raise
themselves above their kind are abor.
tive. Their hopes are blasted In the
bud, flower or fruit; the limitations
imposed upon them prove insur-
mountable barriers.
Improvement and progressive le-
velopment begin with man. The
struggling plant that has outstripped
its kind and stands on the verge Of
decay, knowing that it will be replaced
the following season by another whose
feeble growth may nentralize all the
good that it has accomplished, sud.
denly finds itself lifted to more con-
genial surroundings. The mere
struggle Tor precarious existence
instantly ceases to absorb all its
strength and powers. The arbitrary
laws of nature can no longer limit
development and expansion, and the
plant has leisure and opportunity to
cultivate the beauties and refnements
OF new life.
The flowers take on a fairer and
more delicate hue, improving in size
and beauty by slow magical processes;
the foliage intensifes in strength and
color to form fitting background Tor
the blossoms, and the maturing fruits
develop a sweetness and iusciousress
heretofore existent only in potential
state. The plants slowly diflerentiate
from their kind, assuming the APP
pearances and characteristics of new
order, retaining, however, enough OF
the blood of their ancestors to drag
them down to the level Of their old
primal stock if once freed from man s
control and left to their mutual selec-
ton.

The Impending Deficiency of Bread
Stuffs.
c. wood Davis In the Forum.

G. Wood Davis In the Forum.
When we reflect that, though the
worlds output OF wheat in 1902 IS
several hundred million bushels less
than requirements, acre Yields have
been but little below an average; that
an average yield from the acres now
employed would be az, 600. coo
bushels less than present needs; that
the greatest crop ever grown would
not equal present requirements; that
requirements Tor wheat aud rye pro-
gressively increase, year after year,
by more than 10, 600, 600 bushels; that
not an acre has been added to the
aggregate Of the worlds bread bearing
area since 1854; that while yearly
Increasing needs in the seventies inn
Piled average yearly additions Of less
than 500, 600 acres, they now imply
additions Of more than j, 900, 600 acres
Of wheat and rye per annum; that not
IN single year since 1880 have adj
ditions to the acreage eqnaied the
years increase needs; that but for an
"over average" production OF wheat
aud rye aggregating more than :, soo.-
900, 600 bushels since 1881, aud extra
ordinary exports from Russia Of more
than 800, 600. 900 bushels because
OF declining unit consumption in Rus
sia--the supplies of the importing
nations would have aggregated some
5, 600, 600, 600 bushels less in the last
sixteen years. that the world can ex.
pect no better than average acre
yields, no matter what its necessities;
that not even when the great valleys
OF North America were being develop
ed did annual additions OF bread.bear-
ing acres exceed two-thirds present
increases Of annual requirements, and
that an acreage deficit exists equal to
the supply of as many bread eaters,
as have been added to the worlds
population in the last twelve years,
we can begin to understand the pres
ent situation. We can also realize
the nature Of the task before the world
IN an effort to eliminate an enormous
area defcit--which means that, SIM
ply to meet each years increasing re-
qnirements,it must annually add one
hall more acres than ever beforehand
what is likely to be the situation, re-
specting supply and demand, if the
world should, as is by no means inn
PROBABLE, again harvest in succession
three such crops as those of 1879, 1880
and IS8r--crops which gave acre
yields materially below that which
now results in deficit Of ne-fifth, or,
possibly, one-fourth, the bread requir-
ed.

The Salt Habit.
urnaI OF Hygiene. New York.

Journal OF Hygiene, New York.
The use of salt as condiment is so
general and so universally believed in
as a necessary that we rarely hear a
word against its excessive use, but
there are a multitude of people who
eat far too much salt-eat it on every
thing, on meat, fish, potatoes, melons,
in butter, on tomatoes, turnips and
squash, in bread and on a host of
foods too numerous to mention. To so
great an extent is it used that no food
is relished which has not a salty taste
and this hides more or less the real
taste, which is often very delicate.
Now, the amount of salt required in
the system is comparatively small, and
if the diet has been rightly compound
ed very little is necessary. Some go
so far as to discard its use altogether,
but whether this is wise or not we
will not here consider. What are
some of the evils of the excessive use
of salt9 They are to paralyze the
nerves OF taste, or to pervert them so
they cannot enjoy anything which has
not salty flavor, and in addition
there is direct tax on both the skin
and on the kidneys in removing it
from the blood. Whether the skin is
harmed by this tax we do not know.
Possibly it is not greatly injured, yet
we know that few people possess a
healthy skin; but it is now pretty
well settled that an excessive use Of
salt does overtax the kidneys in its
removal and that the great number of
cases of arrangement and disease OF
these organs is due to this use. 1t
takes only little time to learn to en-
Joy many kinds Of food without salt,
and we advise our readers and others
to look into this matter and to try and
diminish the use OF this condiment so
far as possible. We believe they will
be better for it.

PATIENCE MIrn THE LIVING.

Sweet friends, when thou and are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tenuer truth shall we have gained?
Alas by simply dying
Then lips so chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defects discover.
Then hands that would not lift stone
Where stones were thick to eumber
Our steep hill path, win scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both you and T.
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living.
To.day's repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then, patience, cen when keenest edge
May whet nameless sorrow.
IT'S easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's magic glamor;
But Rise 1t were for thee and me
Ere love i past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
BE patient with the living.

It's the best thing for the
hair under ali circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done Is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to

Ayers Hair Vigor. Tt re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow

there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or

The attention Of Chinaman O. Myers
OF the Ohio Democracy is respectfully
called to the fact that Mr.. Bryan is
about to deliver a series of speeches
on the silver question i'll Kentucky,
and that he will probably select places
where the south wind will carry his
voice across the river into Ohio.
Here's an opportunity for more ''gov-

The rapid decadence of the free
coinage craze is shown by the fact
that its chief defender. Mr.. Bryan, is
vigorously excluded from the States

cred of serious importance. In Ohio,

States where there is real contest he
has been given to understand that be

shouters are also barred.

Reports from Ohio show that the
Democrats have absolutely abandon
ed the silver issue. Aside from the
opening speech of Mr.. Chapman,
their candidate for Governor, no Dem
ocratic orator has opened his lips on
the silver question, and those who
attempted or proposed to do so were
promptly deported from the State by
the chairman of the party. When it
considered that the Democratic plat
form adopted in that State only
ninety days ago discussed nothing
but silver, the rapidity Of the change
which has come over the public mind
under the prosperity following the
enactment Of the protective tariff is
phenomenal.
