PRACTICAL KINDNESS.

One Hundred Thousand Grateful
These war times have tried mems
souls in many unexpected ways, but
like shaft of sunshine and good cheer
out Of the cloud of privation and en-
durance has been the work that The

the war began-for when they discov-
cred that the camps and hospitals were
not supplied with tobacco they decided
to provide them, free Of cost, with
enough for every man, and have al
ready given outright to our Soldiers
and Sailors over one hundred thousand
pounds of Battle AK Plug" and
Dukes Mixture" Smoking Tobacco,
and have bought and distributed, fifty
thousand briar wood pipes, at total
cost Of between fifty and sixty thou
sand dollars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquar-
tiers in each camp, so that every camp
and every hospital Of the United States
Army has been supplied with enough
tobacco for every man and the sailors
on. thirty United States Ships in Cuban
waters have shared with the soldiers
this most welcome of all "rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to re-
member when we hear the remark
sgain that Corporations have no

poration whose soul has been tried and

as much as II they were 20 many
stones! The great remedy. for this evil
is to not allow cattle to Craze the stalk
fields. but when they are grazed the
surface of the soil should be thorough
ly torn up by cutaway harrow. or re-
peated disking, before the pillow is used,
SO that the soil that is turned down to
make the root zone. will be perfectly
free from clods. If the careless farm
er is satisfied he has clod reducing
machine that will thoroughly reduce
any and all surface clods when prop
erly used, he is not so careless a farm
er as our neighbors may, in their ig-
norance, have called him, while, on
the other hand, the man who thinks
he is careful, who plows clods down
deep into the soil and leaves them
there for a year, is really very SLOW

the plant food from the root zone, and
it would be better if he never plowed

About Clods,

Clarence E. Norton, writing in the
KANSAS Farmer, expresses some excel
lent thoughts on clod crushing. We
make the following extracts:
The condition Of the soil. and the
season Of 1897, have been great fnan-
cial drawbacks to Kansas farmers. yet,
II they study the conditions carefully,
u may, In the future, be Of advantage
to them. In the first place the winter
was more open than usual, and the
ground did not freeze as much as u.s.
ual. and the cattle that grazed the corn
stalk fields all winter punched up the
tresn soil in great shape, and the COM
pant against the cloddy condition Of
the soil is general and louder than
usual. All this complaint results be-
cause the cattle sink a little deeper
tnan usual into the soil. Not single
year passes but what the cattle will
make the same amount of clods, only
we do not see them, and we are una
ware OF their presence. The coming
intensive farmer will never allow any
STOCK, except sheep, to run in his stalk

nelds. as the fodder will be all cut up
and hauled off to be fed. The farmer
who thinks he is careful man, much
more careful than his neighbor, will
not allow his cattle in his stalk field,
except when the soil is dry, while
his neighbor will not allow them in
the field every day, wet or dry, and
farmer No. thinks he is much wiser
than farmer No. 2, and he has great
pity for his ignorant neighbor who
feeds his, stalks wet or dry, alike.
When the soil is wet the cattle slump
down deep into the soil, and clod is
made below the bottom Of the hoof-
print. Just the same as clod Of wood
is formed in front of the square point
OF cut nail that is being driven into
board. AS this clod is punched down
deep into the soil it will be on top Of
the soil Just as soon as the soil is
turned over by the pillow, and the farm

To Grow vlo,ets succes.,u,,x.


One all-important item in the Gull
ture Of violets is ventilation. They
must have fresh air and plenty of It
at all times. Good ventilation is easily
secured by placing blocks under the
ends of the sash. They will require
careful watching during the bright
sunny days, to prevent the tempera-
ture from rising too high. The nearer
1t can be kept at from fifty-flve to
sixty degrees during the blooming sea-
son the better. Cooler temperature
before time for blooming will be nee
essary. During severe winter weather
1t will be necessary to cover the sash
with manure, strawy litter or old car
pets to keep out the cold. These COW
erings should not remain on during
the daytime, unless it seems necessary.
AS to watering the grower will have
to use some judgment. Violets must
never he allowed to dry out, and re-
quire considerable water. Allow plen-
ty of water. but avoid daily soaking,
whether needed or not. It is rather a
difficult matter to grow violets in the
house, the hot dry heat of the ordi-
nary liying-room being disastrous to
the health of the plant.-Woman's

tion. the other parts being described
as irregular In condition and unsatis-
factory.
In 1882 two shipments of frozen meat
were made from New Zealand, COM
prising about. 5000 carcasses, which
reached their destination in good con-
dition. A small quantity Of beef aud
about 10000 carcasses Of mutton were
shipped to England from New Zealand,
while only one-half that amount was
shipped from Australia. In 1882 the
entire shipment Of meats amounted to
l,7O7,S2S. This amount had increased
in 1896 to 123,576,544 pounds.
This whole business depends on the
cooling or freezing plants that have
been invented during the last two de-
cades. BY means of these machines
the air is reduced to, say, 70 degrees
below zero. and at this temperature the
meat is quickly frozen. The steamers
that carry the meats also have cool
Ing plants that enable them to keep
down the temperature of the air in
the holds Of the vessels to a point
Where the meat remains permanently
frozen. The possibilities of these
plants are so great that cargo Of
meats could be carried several times
around the world without detriment
to its quality. 1t will thus be seen
that the frozen meat trade of the
countries in the southern hemisphere
Is bound to develop. The hope is that
the ratio of consumption Of meats in
the European markets will continue to
increase as rapidly as the supplies.

er can reduce the clods by his machine,
or II not. they will be up where nature
can gradually dissolve them by the
action of heat. cold and moisture.
When the soil is dry. or only little
damp just at the top, the careful farm
er does not hesitate to pasture his stalk
field, and when the soil is in this con-
dition thin clod is formed just under
the footprint, but it is near the sur
face Of the soil, and when the soil is
turned over with the plow this thin
the bottom Of the furrow. and is never
seen by the farmer again. He makes
perfect seed-bed of the surface of his
freshly-plowed soil, but does not see
the clods and air spaces that rest on
the bottom of the burrows where the
root zone is. A dry pressed brick is
made by using perfectly dry earth
pressed together by heavy pressure,
and clod is made the same way.
A wet or mud brick is made by ap-
plying smaller pressure to wet soil.
The difference is not between Inc
moisture In the soil, but is simply a
difference Of pressure applied, hence a
clod made in wet soil will be thicker
than one made in dry soil, and never
is dry soil exempt from clods except
when the pressure is kept of. Hence.
the careful farmer makes Just as many
clods as his careless neighbour. The
only difference is that ones clods are
not quite SO thick as the others, and
that the careless man will have his
clods on top after blowing, where the
rains can dissolve them, or where the
clod-crushing machinery can destroy
them, while the careful man, who
thinks hs IL 80 much superior to his
neighbor. will have just5as many clods
but not 80 thick ones. and he will hide
his clods from sight and put them
down into the root zone. where they

Horticulture in Public Schools.

1t seems that the time has come when
the agricultural press of the country
should begin to Systematically agi-
tate the question of teaching the ele-
ments of agriculture and horticulture
IN the country schools. The time was
when the principles of agriculture were
not we'll understood, by even the best
farmers. and no textbook was avail
able for use in such schools. But the
past few years have completely revo-
lutionized the subject, and now there
are several excellent elementary works
on that subject we'll adapted to country
school work. It is safe to say that two
thirds of the pupils who attend our
country schools will stay upon the
farm, and such being the case, it is
right that the course in such schools

their needs. Much of the work there

New Zealand's Frozen Meat Trade.
The American stockmen are directly
interested in the frozen meat trade
that distant countries are building up
with the European markets. Our own
trade is bound to be affected to a con-
siderable extent, though up to this
time we have not greatly felt the COM
petition. The United States consul
in New Zealand reports that the frozen
meat industry of that colony has de-
veloped with extraordinary rapidly,
