LESS PESSIMISM-M0RE PRO-
GRESS.

Omda the novelist, VINO has late
u raeen to writing On social ques-
lions, has penned "a letter TO Sc
cretarv Olney in which she pro
tests against the clause in the I'M
migration bill which requires those
coming 10 the United States to be
able 70 read. She says that TO bar
tie illiterate Italians viii be 10
keep ont the better classes and let
IL street gamins and others who
have been corrupted by the
rumpery education Of the
schools" She cites an instance
within her own experience OF a
servant, who could neither read nor
write but was the pink Of perfect
honesty and loyalty to his EN-
plover. She would not /. 1t an
educated man. 49,.
r Ems af9ument Is something on
the plan Of the old farmers idea
who didn't want his boy eddi-
Gated because he would then be
able TO read dime novels. Ouida
would evidently accept the logi-
e. fallacy: a hen Is a biped:
man is q biped, therefore man
n hen. We would naturally
suppose that a woman of Ouida's
fame would not speak Of the cor
ruption Of rumpery education,
yet we lind the same inconsisten-
eies which she presents cropping |

Hons Of men. Even within our

hting TO the importation Of more
intelligent labor to gather our

THE SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS

often charges the secular pres.
with hostility to religion. Il
says to the secular press: "Wt
ire theolOgians and will super
wise mans relations to God; YOU
may supervise his relations tc
worldly affairs" But the secu
lar press should be, also, the re
lious press, if the word 'relig.
ion" 10 taken in its, bfoadest
meaning. So long as the relig,
ious press insists ON being the
wiser teacher, the secular press
has the right to challenge its
methods and ask it questions,
even if they are uncomfortable
ones.
Mr.. Moody, the greatest re
viyalist of modern times, and
other revivalists, have organized
revival meetings in Boston. The
liberal pastors, of course, criti-
else their ways. But lions Her
aid, Methodist organ, strikes at
these evangelists. 1t says:
Evangelist Sam. Jones poprs
himself out in contemporaries
speech, severe sarcasm and yul-
gar wit, in condemnation of the
Christian churches. We regret
to see Mr.. Moody is also deeply
tinged with pessimism concern
ing ministers and churches; we
have noted with deep regret Il
gradual transformation in him"
The New York Observer now
DR.. Lyman Abbott, the
of the greatest preach
II America has produced, and
accuses him of making the Bible
hardly more than Homer, some
thing better than Shakespeare,
inspired about as Milton"
This cross firing, these fisticuff
lffairs among the religious lead
ars of the world have ridicu-
Gus side, but the secular press,
representing earnest, thought
,ul, truth-seeking men and wo-
men, who realize that life in this
world, is only a bridge between
he two eternities, has the right
to ask: "Will you never stop
Iuarreling? What is the reason
hat 1900 years after the passion
md agony, you have found no
common pathway? One denomi
nation constructs track to-
wards salvation, and the other
denominations pull up the rails
and side track the ears, filled
with anxious passengers. You
quarrel even over parallel
racks"
When the secular press earn
estly asks these questions, the
religious press generally loses
It's temper and predicts an etern-
ty of hot gridirOn for the in
luirer. When Mr.. Moody, the
greatest of modern reyivalists,
whose converts number legions,
says that '.if Christ were now to
appear on earth, he would be the
nostunwelcome visitor here" the
SECULAR press has right to ask
lbout it, and not be told, as if it
we're a child: Stop asking ques-
ions or you will be put to bed"
In every community there are
pastors and men and women
With 'fwelkin wide of soul"
These hate the miserable dis
Dutes of sensitive, excited relig
Gus leaders, who talk as if it
we're a lie that God Stands be
lind the shadows keeping watch
lbove his own"
The secular press, speaking for,
all earnest souls, demands that
The religious press give up bick
sring and work for that celestial
harmony which ought to exist
everywhere.

vigorous ana always fruitful When
planted on different slopes the time for
picking this one variety may be extend
ed over twenty days. The cherry is
not as freely planted as 1t should be
1t perhaps gives better satisfaction for
the cost involved than any other fruit
Suitable varieties like Early Richmond,
Montmorenci, English Morello and
Wragg, planted on average soil and
freely and frequently cultivated, will
year will ordinarily yield forty or fifty
quarts to each tree. The Early Rich
mond and MOntmorenci are the strong
or growers and ultimately yield the
most bushels per tree because they
have the largest number of branches
and grow to a larger size and can set
and carry more fruit than the English
Morello, and when in full bearing at
the age of nine or ten years the maxi
mum crop of the Early Richmond is
about three and n half bushels per
tree, that of the English Morello about
two bushels per tree. With fair care
these trees win live and do well until
the age of Is or 20 years, and may be
destroyed sooner by neglect and lack
of cultivation and the result of severe

Flower Beds.

Lay your plans, so there will be no
delay when the time comes for plant
ing. says an exchange. There Is no In
vestment you can make that will bring
a larger proportionate return of pleas
ure than small sum devoted to flower
seed. 1t Is a good time, while the men
have leisure, to prepare the beds. If
the ground is poor and the subsoil com
pact 1t will pay to dig ii out at least two
spades deep and fill in good soil. When
1t is done once 1t is done forever, and
an occasional top dressing is all it will
need while you live. The men and
teams have leisure now; this work can
be done wherever the ground Is not
frozen. If the soil Is fairly good throw
out a spade deep, and then take out
another spade deep and haul 1t away,
replacing with good surface soil from
the woods or fields, mixing in some
sand, If needed, and some old manure,
or chip dirt from wood pile. A bed pre-
pared in this way, If the water does not
stand in It, will produce a vigorous
growth and abundant bloom In most
garden flowers, and well repay the
labor. Some few kinds do best in poor
soil, or In special locations, but the
great majority thrive best in a deep,
rich, moist, but not wet loan. When
such a bed Is once prepared II needs
only an occasional top dressing to keep
1t in fine condition forever.-Farmers

the remedy is an excellent one, and do
not hesitate to recommend it to the
suffering
To postpone at such vital time as
this regulating the nerves and purify
ing the blood is serious mistake.
Men and women distressed by nervous
troubles or the effects of impure blood
cannot afford now to lose day before
taking advantage of Paine's celery
compound.
In order to avoid disappointment ac-
cept nothing but Paine's celery COM
pound. A clerk who tries to sell some
thing else than what people ask for is
evidently not disinterested. He has an
eye to profits more than to the good of
customers.
There can be no substitute for Paine's
celery compound.
This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons, too easily
led, have carried home something be-
sides Paine's celery compound, and
have failed to get the decided benefit
they had hoped for.
The strongest Endorsement ever re-
ceived for this great spring remedy
and no remedy ever compared with
Paine's celery compound in the char
acter and the number of the witnesses
to its efficiency-the strongest indorse-
ment it ever received did not overesti-
mate or exaggerate in the least its un-
rivalled power of making people well.

Within the past year, among the
thousands of hearty testimonials to the
wonderful curative powers of Paine's
celery compound that have been re-
ceived by Wells, Richardson & Com

letters received from every state and
town in the country there have come
no less than six hearty Endorsements
from members of the national house of
representatives..
All were willing that their expert

rightly that they might thus do good to
others.

eldest daughter, then II years of age,
was in very poor health, suffering from
general debility, nervous prostration
and frequent slight fevers She had

latter part of September last, while
still feeble she began the use of Paine's
celery compound, and improved in
health continuously. In three months
she had fully recovered, and is now in

DESTROYING Potato scab.

1t has long been known that flour
of sulphur applied to anything was a
good germiicde. The experience of a
practical farmer, as told by Horace f,
Wilcox, in the New York Tribune,
shows how this knowledge saved his
potato crop from destruction, though
planted on land where, a year before
the potato scab had entirely destroyed
1t. He first cut the potatoes, and while
In the pail with the suit surface fresh
he put a pint Of sulphur on top of the
heap, allowing 1t to sift down so that
was entirely free from scab, and many
of the cut pieces, used for seed, were
yet yellow with sulphur in the hills
when the crop was dug.

The Idaho pear is pear of great
hardness and will grow where scarce
ly any other pear will. The editor Of
the Plowman visited the originator Of
the pear two years ago. The pear in
shape is more like an apple than pear.
1t is above medium size, and Is of good
flavor. 1t is not an extra keeper, but
it Is fine pear for as late as say the
first of November. As grown in the
East, or Middle West, 1t Is described
as being of medium to large in size
8, 10 and IL inches in circumference,

In seeding land to grass it would be
much better If greater variety of plants
were grown Some kinds succeed bet
ter than others under special condl-
tons of soil so that the greater variety
sown, the better the land is likely to be
covered and the larger the quantity of
feed produced. But the advantage of
much greater palatableness of pasture
or hay which contains a variety Of
grasses is even more important AS an
aid to make all hay more eagerly eaten.
some sweet-scented vernal grass seed
ought to be sown. 1t will be eaten close
to the soil by every kind of stock, and
when left for hay the aroma from it
will penetrate the whole mass and in
crease its feeding value.

Feeding for Flavor.

A New York station bulletin says that
at the station dairy 1t has generally
been customary to feed once day some
dry fodder, preferably clover hay, and
sllage twice with grain. Feeding of
corn silage did not produce any in
ferlor quality of milk so far as chemical
composition would indicate, and no OBJ
jectionable flavor was noticed. If rad
zeal changes in the ration were made
gradually and not suddenly, and no
spoiled or moldy silage allowed to
reach the cow. 1t is probable there
would be little complaint Of any IN,
pleasant flavor from silage. OF course,
milk should not be exposed long In a
stable filled with odors OF s!lage or any
others Objectionable. 1t the Kansas
station the occasional faint noticed In
the milk when silage was fed was en-
tirely avoided by feeding the silage i'm
mediately after instead of before milk

Horticultural Notes,

Plant fruit first for the family and
then for the market.
Get that rotten apple out of the pile
in the cellar If You have to sort the
whole Tile.
Keep the house plants in health. An
occasional smoking with tobacco will
do them good.
Frozen fruits and roots are not as
valuable as when they are not frozen,
are they? Keep them from freezing,
then.
We insist that on a farm that is near
n market more money can be made
from gardening than from general
farming. -Western Plowman.

Mnking Cheese at Homo.

Until within a comparatively recent
time. all tie cheese made in this coun-
try has been of home manufacture.
The method usually was where only
two, three or four cows were kept, 10
use two messes of milk, skimming that
twelve hours old, at which time proba-
bly, one-half Of it's butter fats, and
those containing least caseine matter,
would have risen to the surface, and
mixing this with the new milk of
either night or morning, this was heat
ed TO 40 degrees or $50 degrees, and
as II cooled rennet was added. This
was usually from a calfs stomach
whose digestive juices, dried and fine
~ powdered, when put into the milk
quickly coagulated It, If the stomach
Of calves could not be had those Of
pigs were equally good, as each con-
tanned the pepsin, whose use was to
partially digest the milk. In Holland
there was general use OF iydrochloric
acid, which answered the same pur-
pose. Thus while milk and especially
scalded milk is hard to digest, the
cheese made from it Is generally CON
sdered an aid TO the digestion of other
substances eaten with or before it..
Hence 1t is regarded as n healthful ar
ticle of food. especially for those with
weak omachs.-American Cultivator.

Dragging with Three Horses.

There are many farm operations
where three horses can be profitably
used. While the work of blowing espe-
cially in spring, Is comparatively light,
If grass land or stubble has to be
plowed in the fall for wheat, three
horses will do enough more work to
make 1t advisable to use them. If
horse labor is cheaper than hand labor,
as it surely is, to enable one man to use
three horses instead of two increases
the advantage. But the work of drag
g'ng, especially with the spring tooth
harrows which tear up the soil, is bet
ter done with three horses than with
two.

from his egg farm supported his fam
lily, while that from fruit and vegeta-

devoted to poultry, on which are kept
800 hens, divided between the Brown
Leghorn and Black Hamburg. The five
acres are sub-divided into ten yards,
giving 80 hens to the yard. These hens
average 125 eggs per year apiece, max

price of 10 cents, making $7S1.20. De

Leave Their Wives at Home.

1t is a strict rule with the big trans
atlantic steamship companies that the
wife of the Captain shall not travel in
his ship. The company strongly pro
hibits its Captains from taking their
wives aboard with them. The suppo-
sltion is that II anything should hap
pen to the ship the Captain, instead Of
attending to his public duty, would de-
vote his attention mainly TO the safety
of his wife. So that If the wife of a
Captain wants to go abroad she must
take passage In some other vessel. This
rule also holds in many Of the freight
lines,
