adequate, will convey family some
ideas of the great beauty Of the i'm
proved varieties of lilacs.
The Globe-republican., 1899-05-18

Notwithstanding the fact that i'm
proved varieties Of the lilac have been
for years cultivated in our best nur-
series, they are not yet generally
known. The old common lilac and
its white variety still occupy the
greater portion of the field. Prob
ably the reason for that is that
these plants multiply freely by
suckers, and by this means our neigh
Dor having them is able to supply
many others without cost, and in this
way they have been spread through
nearly every community. The Persian
lilac is the next best known, and this
has been quite largely planted. But
aside from these there is a great num-
Der of beautiful varieties of lilac,
which, If they could be seen in bloom.
would be an unexpected revelation to
most people. One of the largest col
lections of lilacs in this country is at
Highland Park, Rochester, N. Y, and
at the season of bloom is SO great an
attraction as to draw a large attend
ance of visitors on every fine day.
Some of the lilacs in this collection
arc thus described by Vicks: One of
the most distinct and handsome varie-
ties appeared to be Rothmagensis Ru-
bra, noticed particularly on account Of
its dwarfish growth, small leaves, fex-
ible, pendulous shoots, and very
large and numerous panicles of deep.

DR.. S. A. Knapp, in his report to the
United States government on the ag-
riculture Of Japan says: The perfec-
ton attained by Japanese fruits and
seeds is due to very thorough cultiva-
ton and fertilizing. Their entire sys-
tenn of agriculture is slow, laborious,
and painstaking, but the results are
marvellous in quality and quantity of
product. Fertilizing the soil is labori-
GUS and expensive. There are prac-
tically no domestic animals in a large
portion of the empire. Human ex-
creta is the chief fertilizer. This is
carefully preserved in cities and viii
lagos, transported upon mems shoul-
ders or in boats to the fields and, in a
diluted form, used to water the plants.
Green manures, grass, straw, and fish
are considerably used. Rice straw is,
however, too valuable to be thus en-
pl0yed. 1t Is used for rice and coal
sacks, for mats and rope, for manu-
facture Of paper, and in numberless
economic ways. The limited amount
Of arabic land in Japan, only about
one-eighth of the entire area of the
empire, makes it necessary to con-
serve and stimulate all Of the produc-
tive energies of the soil available for
cultivation. Hence the field crops are
all managed upon garden methods.
The seed for all the wheat, rice, rye,
and barley produced is first sown in
highly fertilized beds and when the
plant is of sufficient size 1t is trans
planted into the fields, much like cab
bages. When it is considered that
there are three persons in japan for
every acre susceptible of cultivation 1t
is plain that the home market is suf-
ficient for all the home products of the
empire. The population of Japan lex
elusive of Formosa) in 1896 was Off
cially given as 42,70S,264 and the area
cultivated in food products as 1904
56S acres. All fear Of competition from
Japan along agricultural lines may be
dismissed. On the contrary, it must
become a large consumer of farm
products drawn from the United States
The diffusion of knowledge and the in
PRODUCTION of new industries in Japan
have had the effect Of more than doub-
ling the cost of labor in the last ten
years and, in proportion, of stimulat-
ing consumption by the common peo-
pie. Future progress must be mainly
made in the direction of manufactures.
In such event the food for the opera
tives. the cotton and other fiber ma
terial for the fabrics, the lumber and
iron for the construction Of the fac
tories and much of the machinery will
be drawn from the United States. This
will tend to stimulate the prices of
our farm products. The same general
facts hold good for China. The OPEN
ing of the Orient to commerce will act
most beneficentiy upon our agricul-
tural industries. The common i'm
preston that the people of Japan live
mainly upon rice is disproved by the
of acres devoted to wheat, rye,
and beans; to-wit, 3,S79,277 acres
against 6,977,4S2 acres to rice. Large
quantities of beans are imported from
Corea and of wheat -four from the
United States annually. Generally, at
least one highly heterogeneous ration il
provided daily for all classes.

Some Handy Recipes.

How to Prevent the Face Looking
Greasy.-Add few drops of tincture
of benzoin and rosewater to the wat
er in which you wash your face. then
dust lightly with oatmeal, and finish
by rubbing the face with bit of soft
chamois leather. Any druggist will
mix the benzoin and rosewater in the
correct proportions for you.
To Make the Hair Dry and Fluffy,
Without Injuring It-One ounce Of eau
de cologne, two ounces of rectified
spirits of wine, half an ounce of BIZ
carbonate of soda and six ounces Of
distilled water.
A Fine Shampooing Mixture-Two
ounces of pure soap, the juice of one
lemon, the yoke of one egg and half
a pint of distilled water. Put the soap
and distilled water in a clean sauce
pan and stir briskly over the fire till
the former is melted. Beat the yolk OF
one egg and lemon juice together, pour
the soap and water on it, and when
nearly cold bottle for use.
A Most Agreeable and Effective
Remedy for Excessive Perspiration-
Prepared Venetian tale, twenty
ounces; powdered orris root, ten
ounces; oxide of zinc, five ounces;
powdered boric acid, five ounces; pow
dered tartaric acid, five ounces, sail
cylic acid, two and half ounces; men
thol, quarter of an ounce; oil of euca-
lyptus, quarter Of an ounce. Make a
fine powder and apply to affected
parts; sprinkle inside sleeves and
stockings. A simpler remedy for per-
spring hands is to rub them several
times day with lotion made by
mixing three parts Of tincture of bella
donna with fourteen parts of eau de
cologne.
To Soften Water for Washing the
Hair-Take one pint of bran, tie up
in a muslin bag. Put gallon of cold
water in saucepan, place the bran in
this and boil. The water will be de-
lightfully soft, and will require only
little Of the shampooing mixture.
To Prevent Hands Chapping-If you
wash them in hot water always rinse
in cold afterward. as this hardens the
skin and closes the pores. Then wipe
with soft towel and rub with dry
oatmeal.
To Prevent the Hair Turning Gray
Rub a little of this mixture well into
the roots twice every week: Two
ounces of cocoanut oil, one ounce of
bay rum and a few drops of oil Of
bergamont. Shake well before using.
To Avoid Superfluous Hair-Re-
member that cold cream should not be
used on the face if there is tendency
to superfiuous hair. In this case Moth
ing is better than little lemon juice
and milk we'll rubbed in every night
after washing. Don't use lemon juice
alone, as it makes the skin brown.
A Cure for Red Arms-Rub them
every night with paste made of
crushed almonds and honey. II very
bad, spread the paste on soft linen
rag and tie the arms in this, leaving
it on till morning.
For the Eyebrows on pure
grease or a little cocoanut oil every
night. The rubbing should be done IN
the shape of an arch from the nose
to the outer corner of the eyes. Eye
brows that meet are very ugly.
To Prevent Finger Nails Cracking
1t is usually sign Of ill-health when
the nails crack and split. Rub in cold
cream or vaseline at night; it will
soften and nourish them and remove
the dull, shabby look which is seen on
the nails of most delicate people-Rec-
ord.

It would be too far for some Of the
children to go to school? Not more
than three or four miles for those most

quarrels in some neighborhoods Of H.

economical than building new school

PROTEST AGAINsT DRAINAGE CANAL.
Illinois River Farmers Appeal to tho Presi-
dent and Governor of Illinois.

WHITEHALL, ILL.,. July 2G.-Five thousand
persons gathered here to-day from all parts Of
tho Illinois River Valley to attend the mass
convention to consider the attitude to be as-
sumed In relation to the opening Of the Chicago
drainage canal and the removal OF the Govern
ment dams at KampsvIle and La Grange. ct.
Louis and Chicago and the intermediate towns
were represented. The following resolutions
were adopted unan ously as the sense Of tho
meeting:
I'VE earnestly protest against the inflow of
lake water and sewage into the Illinois River
until the channel OF that river Is prepared to
receive It by the removal Of all dams and the
dredging OF the river. We look with alarm
upon the propositions being made in the city
OF Chicago to disregard the law. and we mp
peal to the Governor OF this state for pro-
lection.
I'VE appeal TO the President Of the United
Statcs for projection. and ask him to modify
and change the order lately made by the Sec
rotary OF War so as to provide that the two
Federal dams across the Illinois River at La
Grange and Kampsvllc be removed before any
lake water shall be turned into the sanitary
canal at Chicago
It was decided to appoint n committee to
present these resolutions in person to the Gov
eEnor OF this State and the President Of the
United States.
It was also made clear in the resolutions that
many thousands OF acres OF va nahle farming

lions Of dollars ill he claimed. The conven-
tion was held under the auspices Of the Illinois
River Valley Association.
