Californians contemplate erecting in Washington, at the time of the inaug- uration of the new President, an elab- crate citrous arch, its prime object be- ing to advertise their States agricul- turaI productions. The arch is to be of redwood, and the design provides that the columns, four in number shall be completely enveloped by oranges and lemons. The bases are to be faced with California onyx and marble. The whole is to be lighted at night by incandes- cent lamps.

The agitation against the disgusting habit of splitting in public places is ex- tending all over the country. The Bal timore Sun quotes woman as sug- gesting the following remedy: "If all the women in Baltimore would act in concert am confident they could pre- vent a great deal of this filthy practice My plan is this: Whenever male pas senger on 8 street car begins to expec- torate let every woman aboard just look steadily at him. There need be no especial severity expressed by the look, nor an excess of indignation or rebuke, for too much feeling shown In glance, if the guilty fellow were inclined to be coarse, might subject one to an insult ing remark. But each female face should wear a well-bred air of offended delicaoy and surprise. There is not a woman out of ten in this city, I will venture to assert, who will not under stand how to express all these emo- tions in 8 single look and not overdo it."

In the most pinch:ng OF her want she
chung TO the good attire. Now she sold
it, and for the first time arrayed her
self in the very humblesI garments.
She did it for her husband. He knew
that she had done it for his sake, while
she would not for her own rs well as
that the sun shone above rs head. IT
was a new revelation of true woih-
ans heart, such as not in a lifetime Of
prosperity would he have eyer known.
It cut him to the heart to see this
grand woman in such humble garb, but
it thrilled him with ecstacy to his soul.
He said to himself as ne sat propped
up on his pillow watching the beaNtl-
full face bent over her leedlework: Il
never really knew her till now
He told the truth. More than that,
his wife had not really known herself,
either. The touchStonc OF suffering
had brought out the h;gaer qualities Of
her womanhood like refined gold from
the furnace; and it is certain that at no
period of their prosperity had she felt
so much of tranquil happiness as now
when the battle of life for daily bread
was at it's hardest.
She knew that Size had won back
her husband to the true nobility Of his
manhood; that he was no longer the
loathsome, degraded being her soul re-
yolted at, but a man who would here
after hold himself up TO the full statur,
Of manhOod's requirements in manful
struggle for their mutual veal.
Surely God had sent this suffering to
bring them together and show to the
erring husband the full measure Of
good woman's faithful love. Never in
his life could he forgot this time Of
hard trial, with a delicate woman
working through the long weary hours
to maintain him.
Never did his heart give such jump
of delight as when he was able once
more to set his oWl shoulder to the
wheel and lift the heavy burden from
his wife. And, pulling together brave
ly, in the unison of peri eCted love, they
gradually drew out of the slough OF
their impoverished condition, slowly
but surely, as must ever lie where two
hearts in true affection pull in mutual
trust together.
Two years later, when George and
his wife sat together in a nicely-fur-
nished home, the latter atsired in good
garments that became her SO we'll, and
the husband had recovered all his old
bright health and many dignity az
bearing, they conversed Of his time of
sickness and hard struggle with pow
erty. At length he said, claspiEg her
hand in fervent affection:
my darling! 1 pray God you may
a.ver be called on to pass through
such another ordeal"
With a look of love that thrilled his
soul with ecstacy his wife respondel:
81 would not have missed it for the
world"

Ing matter Of the food greatly increas-
es the growth OF pigs. The reason for
this is quite evident and simple. It is
that this food so encourages the devel-
opment OF muscular tissue, OF which
the vital organs mostly consist, that
the digestion and assimilation Of the
food are made much easier and effec-
tive; that the food is eaten with better
appetite, and is far better digested. In
fact, the machinery Of the pig is SO
much improved by this feeding that Its
work is done much more effectively
and consequently so much more profit
ably.-Agriculturist

The Dairy,


Washing out the buttermilk is much
more economical Of labor than working
1t out
All reasonable care should be taken
to prevent the cows from drinking
stagnant water.
The travelling dairy schools Of Cana
da have done splendid work in raising
the grade of butter in that country.
Brine sailing of butter is wasteful
and inaccurate. The most satisfactory
way is to salt on the butter worker,
weighing both salt and butter.
The power to consume, digest and
assimilate nutritious food is what is de-
sired of the COW at maturity; and to re-
ceive this, the calf must be well fed.
An old lesson, not yet well learned, 10
to have good ventilation in the milk
room, clean floors and walls, and to
harbor nothing which will produce bad
odo.s.
The best profit from dairying comes
from the manufacture OF gilt edged but.
ter for private customers. Make this
your aim; and then do not be too indif.
ferent to hunt for the customers.
No other matter about the farm will
SO roorly stand being made a thing Of
secondary interest as the dairy. A
yery little neglect will go long way
toward destroying the profit Neglect

BLoODTHIRSTY TURKS.
Murderous BIudgeon.Men in the Stree
of Consfan+inOnle

Murderous BIudgeon.Men in the Streets
OF Constantnope,
From "a Bystander's Notes OF
Massacre" by IVAN Troshine, in Serb
ner's, we quote as follows:
Such men as the bludgeon-men one
does not often see in the streets OF
Constantinople. OF the better class of
Turks there were none among them.
They were of a class like the wharf
rats and 'longshoremen of Western
lands. They were of all shades of
color, from the white-skinned Lag and
Circassian to the brown and hook
nosed Kurd and the coal-black Nubian
from Africa Their faces were study
of fearful passions. There were faces
scanned and SCARED like the head OF
a fighting bulldog; faces distorted by
malice and greed; faces scared, as by
fire, case-hardened in ignorance of all
except vice, and ferocious as an angry
tiger. Some of those faces burnt their
way into my memory and remained
for days; a haunting revelation Of
brutal instincts and beastly desires
which made one wonder how it was
! possible to have lived in safety for
weeks in a city containing such men.
These men are not armed in the COM
mon sense of the word. Some of them
had revolvers, and the most of them
had knives. But they seldom used
either; for awkward questions might
be raised if the police were called to
account for failing to arrest armed
civilians on the streets. Carrying axe
helves, pick-aXe handles, heavy clubs,
like baseball bats, jagged fragments of
broken scantling; carrying anything
that can crush the skull of man, this
horrible rabble flooded the streets of
all Christian quarters of the city, like
an all-desolating tidal wave, silent but
irresistible. Their silence by day was
almost as terrible as their bowls by
night. They would be seen going along
the street, when they would meet an
Armenian who had ventured to at
tempt to reach his home. Without a
word they would break his skull and go
on their way, entirely unmoved, and
hardly having spoken a loud word. II
resistance was offered they had only
to say, 1.-THE Giaours resistv and a
horde Of their fellows would come rum
ming from all directions to destroy one
| who had proved his seditious quality
by daring to resist Mussulman.

A1OatuCAC Oh dairy oOrSCSe
Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom it
may concern that it does no good to
whip or pound balky horse, almost
every owner or driver Of one does it to-
day. 1t is probably the greatest piece
Of horse folly in existence. 1t is not a
remnant Of barbarism, but it is contin-
ued barbarity, and brings out what
original sin there is in man.
The brain of horse can retain but
one idea at time. If the idea is to
sulk, whipping only infensifies it. A
change Of that idea, then, is the only
successful method Of management.
This may be accomplished in scores Of
ways, a few Of which are here named:
Tie a handkerchief about his eyes;
tie his tail to the bellyband or back
band; fasten stick in his mouth; tie a
cord tightly around his leg; clasp his
nostrils and shut his wind Off until he
wants to go; unhitch him from the We
hicle and then hitch him up again, or
almost any way to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should always be
gentle. There are more balky drivers
than Unconstitutional Stockman.

In buying turnips remember that

Warm Weather Chicken BOOSTS.
During the summer and early autumn
months chickens do much better if al
lowed to roost out of doors nights.
Plenty Of fresh air makes them vigor-
Gus and hardy. Some protection Is
needed, however, to protect them from
showers, and the attacks Of owls and
hawks that would especially trouble
them If roosting in trees. A simple
roof attached to the side Of building
is shown in the illustration. 1t is easy
to build, can be taken down in the fall,
and answers the purpose admirably.

Her eyes We're gray.

sacks and mark them, and hang them
up out Of the way Of mice. If the wag-

wipe dry, and give them good coat Of

and a half cents per gallon. It is also
excellent to apply to cuts and sores on

New Eodder Crops.


New fodder crops continue to attract
much attention at the Vermont station.
Sofa beans Of the green and black va
rieties have proven satisfactory each
year. No other leguminous hoed crop
has given better returns in tonnage Of
green fodder, dry matter, or protein.
The green variety yielded at the rate of
six and half tons green and two tons
dry fodder, and nearly one-quarter of
ton of protein to the acre. Good growths
were made Of hairy and spring vetches
with and without oats, but after ex-
perience with these crops for several
years at the Vermont station, they are
considered unequal to peas and oats
Serradella yielded about ton of dry
matter per acre, and is recommended
