Care of Farm implements.

The rise in the price of implements
will bring about one good result If 1t
arouses farmers to the Importance OF
taking care of their purchases. The
lack of timber In many portions OF the
prairie states and the poverty OF pio-
neers compelled them at the start to
do without some of the buildings con-
sidered necessary on an eastern farm.
A shack for the shelter Of live stock
was frequently all that could be al
'forded by the new settler, and his i'm
plements suffered in consequence.
Had the improvidence stopped there
the results would not have been seri-
Gus, for in a few years those pioneers
had either accumulated enough to
properly equip their farms with tools
and buildings, or had been forced OUT
of business through an ability to cope
with conditions. Unfortunately, how
ever, thriftless habits remained when
all excuse for such practices had pass
ed away, and today on many Illinois
farms we see farm products going to
waste and valuable implements ex-
posed to the sun and storm to a degree
that would have scandalized the care
full New England farmers of a century
ago. What would be thought OF a
housekeeper who would place an ex-
pensive range in a leaky shed, or leave
a sewing machine exposed to the
weather, yet that is the kind of care
taking that prevails among many
farmers. How often we see the plow
left in the furrow over night 80 1t
will be handy in the morning. or see
the reaper, the hay rake or the thresn-
er standing >unsheltered In the Held.
Wagons and carriages experience the
same neglect and it does not take long
for a collection Of dirty, rickety We
hicles and rusty implements to thor
oughly advertise the shiftlessness OF
their owner. If high prices would make
such farmers provide shelter for their
tools and then keep them in good order
and repair, they would prove a bless
ing in disguise to many an agricultur-
list who now wonders why he doesn't
get along better"

Time Of Planting Ksar Corn.

limo OF tl0Utk0k n0AE NVXus
Though Kadr corn is a dry country
plant. 1t yet requires a supply Of mois-
ture to get it started. II it Is planted
late it may do we'll. for it may get rain
enough to give it a start. But in most
Of our years, in the regions where 1t
pays to grow Kahr, in the semi-arid
West, the late seeding cannot be ex-
.pected to get sufficient moisture to
give 1t the proper start. During the
last season tests were made at the
Oklahoma agricultural college as to
the relative benefits of early and late
planting. The dates of planting were
April (, IL, 10. %, May 1s. %. 30. June
6, Ii. Each plat contained 5.6a2 square
feet of land. The yields of the plant
,ings were as follows: April 4, 49,
lbushsls per acre: April II, 34.6; April
10, 34.3: April rs. sos; May 16. 2S.S;
Nay 23. 22.S; May q, 2s.6; May 30.
80: June 6. 1874; June 10. IS. It
will be seen that the earliest planting
gave BY all odds the best result, and
that the yields poorer the later
tho paintings were made, with two ex-
ceptions. The June paintings were
failures. The early planted grain got
the moisture that was needed for I'LL
ing and maturing, while the late sown
grains had to battle with the heat and
drouth of midsummer.

horticultural Observations.


Reports from the northwest say that
there is to be a Cured Fruit Associa-
ton formed. patterned after the Cal
ifornia Raisin Growers Association.
which. proved so successful last year.
The new association will take in all
the manufacturers Of cured fruit In
the Pacific northwest. The objects
will be to make q uniform pack, and
ensure that the e~vaporated prunes and
other like fruit be placed IN all the
markets in the most perfect form
possible. The price will also be made
uniform and reasonable. It remains
to be seen IL these men. can make az
great a success OF 1t as did the Cali
fornia association mentioned.
The spring is here and vegetation
II awakening. With 1t will also
awaken the insects that have hiber-
mated during the winter. In additions
the spores Of apple scab fungus will
begin their work with the increase
Of warmth. This. therefore, is the
time to buy spraying apparatus, Il it
has not been already purchased. The
man whose trees have not been attack
ed is the man that wants to be first
IN securing the advantages Of spray
inr. The chief value Of this operation
lies In the prevention Of attacks. After
insects have fed extensively on the
cottage Of the trees all the spraying
n the world will not cure the trouble.
Il can only prevent further injury. We
earnestly urge every man that has
i.ree i~ntsrests IN orchards or small
plantations 10 secure . spraying

Turning OF Old Ewes.

When lambs come early in the sea-
son and are sold as milk lambs, the
dams, If aged, should be sold also soon
after the lambs. They will fetch a
higher price If sold then when in con-
dition for selling, than If sold later.
The better price is secured because OF
the fact that the market is not over
stocked in the early months of sum
-mer as it is in the late months of
autumn, says the Farmer. But ewes
cannot be turned OF at such a time
unless they are fat. To secure such
q result special pains may be necessary
in feeding such ewes while nursing
their lambs. It may be necessary to
use a considerable proportion of bar
ley, rye or corn in the grain given to
the dam while she is nursing her lamb.
This will prevent that falling OF in
flesh that is likely to occur during the
nursing period unless some mean is
taken to prevent it. When the lamb
is sold It may be necessary to feed a
low diet for q few days until the milk
fow ceases. The heavy grain ration
should then be. continued. II there Is
on hand at the same time a well-grow
rape pasture. the said pasture will do
the rest. II the rape is we'll grown it
will fatten the dam with but little
grain added. II the lambs are late,
then the ewes will Of necessity be sold
In the fall. Here again the rape pas
ture will make them ready for sale
with but little outlay. Sheep owners
should try and market stock Of this
class before the winter sets In.
The British people are every year
becoming more dependent on foreign
dairy products. The COW population
is increasing to some. extent, but not
80 rapidly as Is the human population.
In the period from 1871 to 1875. the
average number Of cows and heifers
in the United Kingdom is put at 2R04,-
600. The average number Of the same
stock in 1891 to 1896 was 1862. 900.
But in the meantime the human pop
ulation had increased from 26,000,0 900
to 38. 900. In 1871 to 1875 there
were 50 cows for every 1000 Of the
population. In 1896 there were but
q cows per 1000 Of the population.
We have ne figures more recent. It is
barely possible that some day. q great
revival Of dairy interests will take
place in Great Britain similar to what
took place in Denmark, but we see 20
signs Of such q movement as yet.

The Threat OF Mtlttaris,n.

The army is the impersonation
of force. 1t does not deliberate, it
executes; it does not reason, it
shoots.
Militarism is the very antithesis of
democracy. In any army the COM
mander orders, the soldier obeys; in
a republic mandates issue from the
sovereign people and the public and
the public servant gives heed. Can
any one doubt the demoralizing
result which follows the use of force,
even when the force is justified by
necessity We cannot afford to
weaken the governments reliance
upon the people by cultivating the
ideas that all the work of war must
be done by professional soldiers.
Our example is inspiration. Our
example already has been an inspi.
ration to millions. Because our
forefathers fought for liberty, others
have fought for liberty. Because
our Declaration of Independence
was promulgated, other declarations
Of independence have been prom,
ulgated.
Not only have we set an
example, but in the establishment:
of the Monroe doctrine we have
been able to give to small republics
the protection of this, the greatest
republic Of history. AS the nations
population. wealth and influence
increases, it's power to- do good will
increase. but to accomplish this end
il must remain true to its prime iples
and not descend to the levels Of
empires and monarchies.

We are informed by New Or
leans paper that former Judge Gil
bert Dupre, Of ST. Landry, t'has
severed his connection with the
Democratic party" The judge is
said to have announced his aban
donment of Democratic principles
in a letter published some days ago.
We did not read the letter and are
loath to believe that Judge Dupre
has left the Democratic party.
Some years ago he came to La
fayette and made a ringing Demo-
cratic speech every utterance of
which was based upon the tenets of
the fathers. There was not in that
speech the least intimation that the
speaker was weakening IN his faith.
On the contrary he expounded the
gospel of Jefferson and Jackson and
Bryan as true preacher. And as
that Democracy is the same as it
was then-perhaps little stronger
for it improves with age and it's vir-
tues become brighter-we can not
see what has caused our esteemed
friend to seek new gods in a temple
which at best can offer him but
poor shelter. II he finds any OBJ
jections to the organization IF the
Democratic party in this State, he
will. as Southern man and Louis
ianian. find thousand more in the
Republican party under the leader
ship Of Henry Clay Warmoth.
