How President Arthur and Blaine Were
Caurhf


There is a good story of the presi-
Dental excursion down to the easter n
shore of MARYLAND. The party en-
braced Secretaries Blame and Win
dom and others. They were fortu-
nate enough to hear an excellent SER
mon from the venerable Protestant
Episcopal Bishop of Maryland, who
was there to administer the right of
confirmation. The President and
the two secretaries sat in quiet salts
faction. But their peace of mind was
suddenly dispelled. The offertory was
sung. At the familiar words:
''Let your light so shine before
men, etc." the President and the
Secretaries each quietly dropped a
hand into a pocket.
Window drew forth crisp one-dol-
lar note and held it between his
thumb and forefnger, ready for the
approaching plate. The President
and Mr.. Blaine went a little deeper
into their pockets. One brought up
nickel and the other dime. Their
faces flushed. 1t would never do to
make such a contribution.
The President went to his pocket
book, and the Secretary of State eX-
plored his vest pocket with nervous
fingers.
The plate was only few pews
away. What the President found in
his pocketbook was one tifty-dollar
note and a ten-dollar greenback-
nothing smaller. What Mr.. Blaine
found was two ten-dollar notes
nothing smaller. To put in nickel
or dime only was not to be thought
of. To give 80 was more than either
cared to do. Each looked at Window
sitting there calmly with his dollar
note in hand. He shook his head.
There was no time for further
pocket exploration or consideration.
With smile of commiseration at
each other, and something like glee
on WINDOWS placid cOuntenance, the
President and the Secretary of State
each planked down his ten-dollar note
for 1.-The poor of his congregation. ;"
And the worst of it is, said one of the
party afterward, that the Lord would
probably give them credit only for
the dollar or two which they intend
ed to give.-Philadelphi Inquirer.

USE PRISON LABOR.
Judge Gibbons, of Chicago, Advocates
the Err pigment of COnvicts as
Road Builders.

The proposition to utilize prison labor
in the work of building roads is being
discussed everywhere. There is a dis
position manifested on the part of pub
lie officials to employ prison labor on
this class of work, wherever it is pos
sible. In a recent address, Judge John
Gibbons, of Illinois, said:
"The number of convicts in Joliet
averages 1000 at all times, and every
one Of these mi ht be put to work max
ing good roads or preparing, the ma
terial for their construction. I would
use this labor in building great high
way from Lake Michigan to the Mis-
sissippi river, and from some point
on the northern boundary of the state
to Cairo or some equally advantageous
town. would utilize the labor Of the
prisoners in the county Jail and in the
bridewell in building a: sea wall to re-
claim lands covered by Lake Michigan,
and convert them into the most mag
nificent park in the world, stretching
from the Indiana line on the south
to and beyond the city of Evanston on
the north.''

ORCH ARD COVER CROPS.
Their Value and Advantages Of
hcially Recognized by the Agr1-
cultural Department.

The growing of green crops in an
orchard should not be done with the
view of scattering crops for use, but to
benefit the trees as covering. The
agricultural department has given this
matter it's attention and pointed out the
advantages in a special bulletin. n
cover crop, to serve as a blanket and
protect the soil, may be secured with the
use of mammoth clover, cow peas, buck
wheat, rye, crimson clover or anything
that will remain on the ground all win
ter. Cover crops, unlike those grown
throughout the season, do not, as rule,
injure the trees by drying out the soil,
and even where the weather during the
fall is normally dry, the injury is less
than in summer, since plants evaporate
less water from their leaves in the cool
er weather and shorter days Of fall than
in the longer and hotter days of sum-
mer. Cover crops not only do not, as
a rule, dry out the soil injuriously, but
they also add directly to the moisture
holding capacity of the soil by the hui
mus formed in their decay, and they
hold much of the snow until it melts and
is absorbed by the soil. They are
also rarely as injurious as crops grown
throughout the entire season, and are
often beneficial because their growth
is made after the trees have stopped
growing and are maturing their wood
for winter. Trees make their greatest
growth early in the season, and there
fore require much less moisture the
latter. part of the season than earlier
in the year. In fact, in some local
tiles it is considered an advantage TO
cease cultivation by midsummer and
grow some secondary crop which will
check the growth of the trees and
cause them to mature before winter.
1t has also been found that wherever
cultivation or irrigation has been kept
up late in the season, and the ground
in moist condition, with the trees
thrifty and growing, the frost did but
little damage.

TIMELY DAIRY TOPICS.

If the cow will convert her food into
milk, feed her all she will eat.
Don't keep the cows all the time
upon one food. Give them variety.
They like it.
If you have a common cow-a scrub
feed her generously, and take the
best care of her. She may astonish you
in results.
Has the COW been comfortable all
winter? If not she is losing you money.
The COW must be kept warm and fed
such foods as she can digest.
If you let the COW get cold, her milk
will shrink and she never again can
give. as much milk as she did before
she was chilled, until she has another
calf.
Always feed the COW that is with
calf we'll; and remember that the calf
is bunch of muscle and bone. There
fore feed such as will make muscle and
bone. Do not feed too much corn.
Pay no attention to the man who
tells you that you cannot feed guilty

simple. Good, rich food will make bet
