Sheen Like Wild Pasture.

FROM. my experience III sneep ralS-
ing, I have come to the conclusion
that the moro access Hocks have to the
woodlands the better they will thrive,
while the moro they are confined in
narrow pastures where the wild growths
have been exterminated, the more I'M
profitable they become. Years ago in
this section when larger area of the
lapds was in forests than at the pres
ent time, our sheep raisers let their
nocks run in the woods the year round,
and they did much better than they
do of later years.
There is something peculiar to wild
lands that is necessary to the growth
and a healthy condition of the sheep.
They always seek the higher grounds
for repose. Confinc them in a field
and if you notice, yon will Invariably
see them lying ON the highest point at
night.
We are led to believe that there is
an instinct that prompts them to do
this. If they be left to range at will,
they find every nook and corner that
is c!assed as commons" and will
have clean, thrifty appearance, while
if they be confined in anything like
close quarters, they become diseased,
take on bad appearance, and a de-
crease of numbers is the ultimate re-
sult.-Frank Monroe Beverly in Farm,
Field and Fireside.
En- ct of Fat on Yicld of Cheese.
The result of an experiment made
by J. W. Decker, the instructor in
cheese making at the Wisconsin dairy
school, may surprise many. With six
samples Of milk, each weighing 200
pounds, ranging in butter fat from
nothing to five per cent. cheese was
made with the result that the cheese
made enc per cent. butter fat milk was
one-third larger than the one made
from the milk containing no butter fat
That made from two per cent. milk
was still larger and so on to the foul
cent. which cheese was fully twice as
large as that having no butter fat. The
cheese from five per cent. milk was 6
little larger than the four per cent. ant
the quality OF the cheese improved
with the additional fat in proport iol
to the increase in size.
This seems to prove that the sam.
care should be exercised in taking
milk for cheese as for butter. Mill
with good supply of butter fat is a.
essential to the making of good guam
tity OF cheese as for making a good
quantity Of butter, and still more es
sential in its bearings on quality. Mill
with little butter fat will make goot
butter, but it will make but little of it
whereas milk with little butter fat vii
not yield heavily in cheese under an,
conditions, and it loses in qualtit,
also. This experiment shows prett
clearly why We are obliged to eat S,
much poor cheese or not any at all
We are eating cheese with but littl
natural butter fat in it, and of this til
consumer has a right to complain. Ar
other important feature of the exper
mcnt is that thefat must be native I

the States a shorter period than in Indiana.
In Nebraska, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Yer
mont. washington and wisconsin failure of
the husband to support the wife for any
period whatever is cause for divorce at the
discretion of the court. The law in seven
States, namely, Maryland, New Jersey.
New York, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima. Virginia and West Virginia, does not
allow divorce for .cruel and inhuman treat
ment." This is a very convenient and
elastic cause, as almost anything from
harsh words or looks to throwing fiatirons
or beating with a broomstick can be made
out cruel treatment, according to the views
of the judge on the bench. On the whole.
it may be said that the present divorce law
in Indiana is better than that in some of
the States and compares favorably with
any. Among the statutory causes for di-
vorce in some States are, in Tennessee,
refusal of wife to remove with her hus-
band to this State" in Alaska, Arkansas,
Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
washington and Wyoming, 'indignities to
the person of the other to render his or her
ANNN'A@~~H'f
gross neglect of duty"
But while the law in Indiana compares
favorably with that in most of the States,
we are not so sure regarding the practice
On this point much depends on local public
opinion and on the views and practice of
Judges. Public sentiment has much to do
with the proper enforcement of law
local anti-divorce society in every county
in the State could do much to create a
healthy public sentiment on the subject.
Some judges have higher views of the mar
rage relation than others. while some fall
into the habit of granting divorces on slight
evidence or for inadequate causes, and are
apt to continue doing so unless reminded
Of their duty by some expression of public
opinion
The present movement for revision of the
law favors an amendment forbidding the
marriage of any divorced person within two
years after the decree shall have been
granted This would be a good provision
if it could be enforced, but as long as a
person divorced in Indiana could be legally
married in any other State it would be
practically null If every State in the Union
would pass such a law it might have a
marked effect in lessening the number of
divorces, but for one or two States to do so
would be useless, except as an example for
others to initiate. At ali events the divorce
evil is a proper subject for legislative con-

THE MISSIONARY AND EXPANSION.

Surprise has been frequently expressed
that many of the leaders in the work of
establishing foreign missions are jealous adj
vocates of what is known as expansion by
the United States. AS expansion, to many,
suggests strife and all the undesirable
things which follow IN its wake, it may
seem strange at first thought that men who
preach peace and righteousness should hail
a policy which bears the sword and stands
for force. Nevertheless, these good men
were never SO wise and practical as when
they advocated the extension of the power
of the United States. For many years
American missionaries have been laboring to
extend Christianity in heather lands in the
East. So far as can be seen, these labors
have not been crowned with success in any
way commensurate with the expenditure of
money and the sacrifice of devoted lives.
What is the cause of apparent failure TO
reach the masses in such countries as
China? When the Spanards made their
conquests in Mexico and South America
they brought the Roman Catholic religion
with its gorgeous ceremonies. That religion
was backed by a power which subdued, and
for that reason it may be assumed that the
natives accepted it, It was the power of
Rome after it had embraced Christianity
which carried with its conquests the poor
quality of religion of those days to all
Europe.
American missionary effort has never been
backed by display of temporal power
1t has not followed a large commerce
with ships bearing that evidence Of su-
periority which does not fail to impress in
ferior races. Apparently weak and defense
less men and women have carried the gospel
to the interior of China and the jungles of
the dark continent The heather were not
attracted by the preaching of a religion that
has no outward show Of power and the ac-
ceptance of which makes them the victims
of persecution. The heather can see no adj
vantage in such a religion, and they either
reject it or are Indifferent. There is reason
to believe that if these missionaries had
been in some way connected with a national
commerce, representing power and offering
advantage in the way of trade their sue
cess would have been much greater. Even
those who are called heather would respect
d pO"cI "lllOii GU etON vantage anu "Oulu
treat with consideration the teachers whom
it backed.
1t is probable that the able leaders of the
missionary organization have discovered the
cause of their weakness. American rule in
the Philippines would give the missionary
moral support. An expansion of American
commerce under the American flag would
present features which would cause the ma
tives to treat missionaries with respect in
stead of making them the victims of perse-
cution. Commerce does follow the flag, so
does civilization which embraces religion.
The leaders of missions seem to have learned
this fact sooner than some others who flat
ter themselves they possess greater worldly
wisdom.

OUR DIVORCE LAWS AND
PRACTICE

The movement for a revision of the divorce
law of Indiana is a commendabe one.
Neither the law nor the practice under it
is as loose as they were under the old law,
but they both call for reform. The divorce
evil is a real and growing one. A practice
that tends to encourage hasty marriages,
TO lessen the sacredness of matrimony, TO
weaken the obligation of the marriage tie,
to encourage conjugal license to break up
families and to lower the standard of social
morals is certainly dangerous to society ard
the state. That the growth of the divorce
evil has had a distinct tendency in these
directions, not in Indiana alone but in the
United States generally, there can be no
doubt. 1t is generally conceded that in no
other civilized country is human life held
as cheaply as in the United States, and it
might be added that in no other civilized
country is the marriage relation as easily
sundered. The latest statistics compiled on
the subject show that during the twenty
years from 1867 to 1886 there were granted
in Great Britain 6,5S7 divorces: in France,
81, ZIG; in Germany 9SS1S; in Russia, q 976;
in the United States, 32S,716. European
countries may Guido us in some other vices
and immoralities, but in the divorce evil
we greatly surpass all of them combined.
The present law of Indiana, passed in 1873,
is an Improvement on the old one. Prior to
that time the statutory causes for divorce
included "incompatibility of temper" be-
tween the parties. and wound up with "or
any other cause deemed satisfactory by the
court" Under these two clauses almost any
alleged cause was sufficient ground for di-
vorce. The law did not require any previous
residence in the State, and only constructive
notice or notice by publication, to the OPP
posite party of the filing of suit. A man
or woman could come to Indiana from an
other State, bring suit for divorce within
forty-eight hours after arriving here pub
lish notice of the suit in some obscure paper
of local circulation and get a decree at the
first term of court. The present law is g
decided improvement or the old one. The
two clauses above quoted are repealed and
the statutory causes of divorce are reduced
to seven. Those most frequently alleged
are adultery abandonment for two
years cruel and inhuman treatment OF
either party by the other" "habitual drunk
enness" and failure of the husband to
make reasonable provisions for his family
for period of two years" Given adroit
lawyers and easy-going judges and these
causes furnish a pretty wide open door for
divorces Our law requires an applicant for
divorce to have been a bona fide resident
Of the State for two years The only States
that require a longer residence than this
are Massachusetts. five years, and Con-
necticut and New Jersey, three years. OF
the other States some require a previous
residence of one year. some six months and
the two Dakotas ninety days. So in regard
to desertion or failure OF the husband to
provide for his family. the law in few
States fixes a longer period. but in most of

cess was thenceforward assured.
The London Mail has this to say in regard
to the prices of books: Sir Walter Besant
has lately reiterated his conviction that the
people who habitually buy books are re-
stricted TO the class whose income is over
&750 year, and that the casual buyers are
among those who have not less than $3.50
per annum. If this estimate be correct, it
IS yet another argument in favor of cheaper
literature. There can be no question that
books OF travel, biographies and other
works OF their order are preposterously eX-
penslve. When a book such as With
Kitchener TO khartum" is published at a
price which brings it within the reach or
the larger public, IL circulateS in its thou
sands, and author publisher and the public
alike reap q fuller benefit. The abolition 81
the three-VOlume novel has undoubtedly IN
creased the demand for inexpensive fiction,
and this tendency should be encouraged. In
this country books are still too mucn re-
garded in the light of luXurieS. In America
it is different: literature is there practically

During the recent war we had some
trouble with state organizations and in
competent officers. but history shows that
washington had more. We are apt to think
of the revolutionary army as inspired only
by patriotism ard free from the defects
of modern armies. This is far from beipg
true In December, 1875, Washington, depre-
eating the scarcity of arms, wrote: Militia
and hying-camp men coming in without
them; were obliged to be furnished or be-
come useless. Many of these threw their
arms away; some lost them, whilst others
deserted and took them away" He depre-
Gated the local ambitions and jealousies he
had to encounter, the different States,
without regard to the qualifications of an
officer, quarreling about the appointments
and nominating such as are not fit to be
bootblacks, from the local attachments Of
this or that member of the Assembly"
He also denounced the conduct of some of
the regimental surgeons, many of whom"
he wrote, ARE very great rasca1s, counte-
nancing the men in sham complaints to ex-
empt them from duty, often receiving brides
to certify indispostions with a view to pro-
cure discharges or furloughs.' and 'in num-
berless instances drawing for medicines and
stores in the most profuse and extravagant
manner for private purposes" These were
but a small part of the difficulties that
Washington had to deal with, but nothing
as scandalous has occurred in any of our
recent armies.
