New England Farmer: Wealthy
men too often overlook work that they
might do for country towns and vii
lagos in which they have an interest.
Although the money they own is
technically theirs to use as they please.
they are under an indirect and a moral
obligation to use a portion of it for the
good of the public which has made
possible the accumulation of property.
A man located among a horde of saw
ages would not be able to accumulate
fortune. 1t is the legislation and tho
law-abiding characteristics of the PEG
pie that make these large accumula-
tons possible. This thought is brought
to mind again by reading paragraph
in the daily papers in connection with
the recent death of A. S. Bean of West
Bethel. Maine, which says: Scarcely
year passed that he did not MAKE
some donation to the village: at one
time a church and at another concrete
Sidewalks. Such men seem to have
proper appreciation of their duties.
The death-rate isn't very large
among our Chinese laundrymen, but.
contrary to the common supposition
they do die like other people. Portland
has just lost one and he was prepared
for burial according to the peculiar
customs of his native land. In the
casket the deceased Chinaman wears
his hat, has a towel in his hand to en-
able him to appear clean in heaven
has sum of money in his pocket in a
wallet in order that he may be able to
pay his way in case of necessity and
ne wears full suit of clothes. includ-
ing a new pair of shoes. Hen Lung
had relatives in Boston. and his body
is to be shipped there for burial

day the animals are literally supplied with
well-cured sweet corn fodder, which has been
cut and shocked soon after the ears were re-
moved for the Gamers. The idea that an

the material could hardly be believed, but
here was undeniable proof of it. Here was

two profits out of what has heretofore been

CONCLUSIONS ARRIVED AT.
On the return to Baltimore the Southern
-N.'i ''A''' i'i ca ApAcSSSu themselves us
follows: Il. We are greatly impressed with
the manifold advantages to be derived from
diversified farming as seen by US in Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore and Carroll counties,
Maryland. 2. In our opinion the farmers of
Southern Maryland should adopt a method of
farming by which they will grow and fatten
more cattle, sheep, hogs, horses and especially
calves from good strains, and grow only as
much tobacco as can be properly cultivated
and prepared for market, thus extending the
scope of their operations and increasing the
revenue from their farms s. Besides the
standard crops of wheat, corn and tobacco,
there should be grown upon every farm, for
grazing purposes, cowpeas, crimson clover
and rye. Moreover the greatest care should
be observed to properly secure ali corn fodder,
whose feeding value is very great. 4. We
advise the growing of cattle for beef rather
than for dairy purposes, because the average
farmer cannot employ the scientific methods
now in use by all successful dairymen, whose
plants have been inspected by us"

Football Victims.

New YORK, Dec. S.-Eleven football play
ers have died since September as the result OF
injuries received in the game, and thirty have
been hurt, many of them badly. Three died
from conclusion of the brain, three from in-
iuries to the spine and four from internal in
juries.
One of the most peculiar accidents was that
which caused the death of George Shoup, a
IA year old boy, who, after having had a knee
injured, suffered nervous prostration on ac-
count of the pain, and died from the cause.
Those injured suffered from broken limbs
and collar bones, twisted knees, sprained
ankles, dislocated shoulders, wrenched wrists
and bruised bodies, and in many cases the
victims will be permanently crippled. The
greatest number of injuries was received dur
ing the Thanksgiving Day games.

ancient than the baobab tree of Africa,
