"Ten more" came from Tarboga. as from

He received them: but he had strength

He got them,
At the ninetieth lash he could not speak

Then Anna Petrowna sprang to her feet.
With her own hands she tore the shawl

Of the saloons which are attached to all
of the hotels, from the frst-class down
to the lowest lodging houses. In the
hotel saloons the statesmen get all of
the liquor that they can pay for, and
they do not care so very much about
having it at the capitol.
You will thus, see that the reform
work before the people is not small, nor
easy. Much remains to be done. In
the meantime, the public agitation will
be continued, and it will have its effect.
The writer has witnessed the gradual
growth of sentiment and its marked
effect upon public men for a number of
years. And out of that experience the
people may be told that the work is
having its manifest effect upon those
who have been in public life and who
now desire to serve the people in hon
orable and lucrative capacities.
Year after year there is less drinking
among statesmen; less drinking in
public, and less drinking in private.
Therefore those whose hearts are set
upon this reform should take courage,
believing and knowing that progress is
being made. SMITH d. FRY.

MICE-GNAWED TREES.
If Treated I'm Time They Can lie Saved
as n General Thing.

If Treated I'm Time They Can lie Saved
as n General Thing.
When the bark of young trees gets
gnawed off either by mice or rabbits
if taken in time, before the bark gets
too dry, they may be saved. When the
bark is not cut off completely around
the tree one of the best ways of saving
it is to take rather dry COW manure,
mix with it an equal quantity of loamy
soil, wet up to the consistency of thick
paste and spread it entirely over the
wound, covering and tying on with a
cloth and leaving it on until it rots off.
If the wound extends clear around
the tree so that sap circulation is en-
tircly cut off, three or four scions can
be inserted, taking care to see that the
inner bark of the scion and tree fit
closely together. Use grating wax to
hold in place and then wrap with a
cloth band. A little care in this way
will often save tree that would other
wise be lost. 1t will be found a good
plan to go through the orchard occa-
sionally, even though protection mas
been given, and if any trees have been
injured care for them at once.
Winter is good time to graft one
year-old stocks. The work can be done
indoors if the scions have been cut in
good season and properly stored. In
grating care must be taken to keep
varieties separate, tying each up in sep
arate bundles and marking them.
In grating one-year-old stock the top
| should be off below the lowest bud.
Make a smooth slanting cut and then
cut the scion to fit it. Have grating
wax spread upon muslin or some kind
of thin cloth, cut in narrow strips.
Wrap it two or three times round and
tie with wooden Irvine. This is to hold
it in place until start to grow is made.
This is the simplest form of grating.
another way is to cut the scion wedge
shaped; split the stock, taking little
of the center wood out and insert the
scion, tying as in whip grating.
The idea is to bring the inner bark OF
the scion and stock together, as this is
where the growth together commences

Mushroom growing will bring hand

The heifer Is the mother of the dairy

too late to look after the antecedents of
the calves already born, but not too late
TO keep them in growing condition,
and growing into what they ought to
be. If designed for beef, says writer
in New York Produce Review, feed
freely with corn; If designed for the
dairy, oats are most excellent food.
They will not be so fat as they would
If fed on corn, but fairness is not what is
desired in dairy animal. On the con-
tIary, it is something to steer clear
Of. If you teach the heifer to fatten
she will not depart from the habit when
she is COW. If you want her to excel
at the pail give her food that is rich
in muscle-making elements rather than
fattening food. Skim milk is good
for a dairy hefer up to several months
of age, and when she is weaned from
milk oats will serve an excellent pur-
pose. In truth, oats should be fed be-
fore the diet of skim milk is withdrawn.
1t is far from impossible to ruin heifer
so far as milk production goes by feed
ing too much rich food, and it is posi-
bic to hurt her seriously by withhold

where one is injured by too much food,
probably 100 are injured by too little,
and it is a safe guess to make that at
least half of the heifer calves are fed
too much like steers for them ever to
make the best kind of cows. Choose
corn and timothy hay for the steers,
and oats and clover hay for the heifcrs.
In feeding hay, early cut hay for heifers
and later cut for steers is in the right
line.
