THE LARGER PATRIOTISM.


In practical sermon, published in
The Saturday Evening Post, Rev.
Amory H. Bradford, D. D., thus
speaks of national gain which he
terms the larger patriotism:'
'sPatriotism which manifests itself
in cheering the flag and clarifying
America is cheap and easily aroused.
1t may co-exist with diabolical sell
fishness. That has largely given
place to finer and truer spirit, which
has faith in our mission, and which
believes in the exaltation of our insti-
what they alone can contribute to civ
ilization and progress OF the patri-
otism which says America for the
Americans we have had too much,
but of that whose motto is America
for the sake of the world there can
never be too much.
"During the past year the growth OF
this larger patriotism has been swift
and constant. Only twelve months
ago the suggestion of national unset.
fishness was secuted, and the asser.
ton that that could never be right fol
the nation which is wrong for the in.
dividual was received with sneers;
now it is the prevailing sentiment
and he who would dare to say, my
country, right or wrong would be
greeted with a storm of protests. The
nobler ideal is heard in pulpit and or
platform, and no words inspire quick.
err enthusiasm in audiences of think
ing people.
"The Spanish War found its just
ification in the conviction that we
have duty to the world Enthusi
asm for the flag, as the symbol of a
vast dominion without soul and with
out moral purpose, is less common
than one year ago, while such devo
ton to country as is akin to religion
is taking its place. The flag symbol
ICES not mighty, souless force, bu
freedom to think, freedom to act, free
dom to worship, and conservation to
the highest brotherhood of man
This is the larger patriotism, and il
has had new birth within the las
twelve months"

AN ExpERIMENTwlTH SHEEP.

In December, 1897, l bought seventy-five head for $50, all bred ewes. In the sbring of 1898 l sold twenty-five lambs for $50, and that fall 1 turned forty-head of the culls into my hog pasture and fed them on corn and surghum with my hogs, and Ill February, 1899, l sold thlrty-six for $1O0. So, you sec, in fourteen months from the day l purchased them l had all of my money back, and at this writing, sixteen months from the time of purchase, l have 135 sheep, including spring lambs, and have twenty ewes that were bred late to hear from. Besides, had lamb to eat whenever ] wanted one, and they have kept more cockleburrs and other weeds down than hand could have done if he had put in his full time The wool has more than paid all expenses.-J. w.

A GRAND ORGANIZATION.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is one of the strongest and best managed labor organiza- ton in the world. The success of this organization is due to the good sense of its members and the splendid business judgement of it's superb chief, Mir. Arthur. Every year tho order grows stronger, which is very gratifying to all good people of this country who believe Tn and encourage labor or ganization. The engineers have had their strikes and have been generally successful on ac- count of the righteousness of their cause. Of late years, however, they have had little trouble of this kind. Financially the brother hood was neverin better condition. No demand has been made upon the strike fund, which now amounts to $100, ,000, for several years. There arc two other funds, one for current expenses and one for the relief of widows and or phans. Last year S42,0 was paid out on the latter account. For insurance alone the brother hood has paid over SS,000,000. There are 36,000 locomotive engi- neers in this country. 90 per cent of whom are members of the brotherhood. The organization is not only beneficial to it's mem bers but is of great practical ser vice to the railroad companies. It is the model labor organization of the world Arkansas Gazette.

A GOOD WASH FOR TREES.

We have been requested to again publish a formula for a wash for fruit trees that we have used and found entirely satisfac- tory. To one quart of common soft soap add one-fourth pound asafoedita, one pound sulphur, one pint common soot and three quarts of water. Stir thoroughly until all is dissolved and then ap- ply to the large limbs and body of the tree twice during the sea- son, once in May or early in June and once in August. It will be found that this wash will cause the bark of the trees to grow smooth and to shed off all rough particles where insects find lodge ment and will also prevent borers from getting start.
 This wash can be applied with j large paint brush or with swah or rag tied to handle. There is nothing in this that can do any harm, and every grower of fruit trees should use 1t.

Mir. Carl A. Starck, inspector of wines for the state of Arkansas, has given timely notice to grow CTS of grapes and berries in this state who contemplate converting their surplus crop into wine as to what the consequences will be should they violate the law. This wine must not be adulterated with water, whiskey, brandy or alcohol in any form. If it is the manu- facturer renders himself liable to a fine the minimum of which is S100. The laws of Arkansas pro- tect the manufacturer of native wine and his product should be entirely free of adulteration.- Arkansas Gazette.

The bill adopted few weeks ago by the New York legislature and signed by.Governor Roosevelt, together with one just adopted by the legislature of Missouri, taxing city franches the same as other property, will have tendency to prevent individuals and private corporations from seeking to se- cure franches. This law strikes the people as being so eminently just that it is likely to be adopted by other states as their law mak- CTS meet, and in the end may result in causing corporations now own ing franchises to decide to sell their plants and have them operated by the municipalities. The bills as passed hits the franchises hard.

STRAWBERRIES BY FREIGHT.

The shipments this season have not been sufficient to warrant the sending of strawberries to mar l<et in car load lots from this point. Had our growers com bincd, however, with those at points near here to the south they could have sent out several more car loads than have been sent and undoubtedly have received better returns.
 By shipping in refrigerator cars berries are delivered in distant cities in better condition, and con- sequently bring better prices, than when shipped by express, and the expense is not more than half so great.
 The rates by fast freight, as we learn from Agent D. J. Cavitt, from this place to St. Lonis is 55 cents per hundred pounds; to Chicago, 73 cents; Minneapolis, 91 cents; Duluth, $1.02, and Oma- ha, 70 cents, only about half what the express companies charge.
 By another season sufficient acreage will be in bearing to in sure nearly all shipments by re- frigerator cars and fast freight and then our growers can expect to receive satisfactory returns for their products. As often stated and abundantly demonstrated, to get the best results from small fruit growing the shippers must secure low freight rates and this can only be done at present by growing in quantity to ship by car load lots.
