GROW GOOD CATTLE.

Nearly every farmer can afford to
grow at least a few calves, and he
should take pains to grow them good.
Even if he is not yet so situated as to
feed regularly each year, the young
animals are profitable as consumers
of good deal of feed for which the
farmer cannot readily find any other
market and if good may be sold to
some one who does feed and for a
good price. AS has been said, how
ever, they should be good young cat
tie, and to this end they should be
we'll bred. When one has pastured
and fed scrub steer for a couple of
years and then compares the price
he will bring with that commanded
by a good high grade animal he soon
finds that growing the scrub does
not pay. Put him on the market,
either as feeder or after being fat
tened for slaughter, in comparison
with good grade of one of the beef
breeds, and the difference in returns
is very wide, and justly SO. The
scrub when prepared for market will
be found to have put on his fat in the
shape of Jumps of tallow and around
the paunch, and at those points where
he should carry high-priced beef he
has scarcely meat enough to cover
his bones. On the other hand, the
improved animal puts the fat on even
ly all through his substance and it be-
comes a real part of his rich, juicy
carcass, improving every fiber of the
salable meat. The one of these ami
mails will be light and bring perhaps
1915 per hundred pounds; the other
will be heavy and bring IS per hum
dred pounds. If the scrub is sold as
feeder the man who buys him knows
that this will be the result of fatten-
ing the two kinds of animals, aud he
limits his offer accordingly. If he is
sold for slaughter the purchaser
gauges his offering by the fact that
he is buying an animal that will make
poor beef at best and little or none of
the more valuable cuts. If the farm
er who proposes to grow calves will
bring himself to a realization of the
facts outlined, he will understand
why it is that he cannot afford to
grow any other kind than grades, and
the higher the grades the better.

PLANTING OF ORNAMENTAL LAWN TREES

The many conditions that must be
taken into consideration makes it diff
fcult to formulate even very general
rules for planting. The extent and
contour of the grounds, the style of
the residence, and natural and arti-
fetal surroundings are all of vital i'm
portance to the harmonious arrange
ment of the whole. The selection of
varieties is of secondary importance.
More frequently many of our COM
mon native plants might be utilized
and may often be procured for the
mere labor of transplanting.
Taking a specific example, such as
a narrow city lot, with only rod or
two of ground in front of the resi-
dence, there is no room for large
growing tree, though one or two
should be planted in the street in
front of the lot. In such a place l
should only plant some low growing
hedge, such as California privet
around the sides, and one or two
small solid clumps or shrubs or mod
erately growing herbaceous plants,
banked against the porch at the side of
the steps or the corner of the resi-
dence, with some climbers, such as
ivy, clematis, climbing bittersweet,
morning glory, hyacinth bean or cy-
press vine, over the porch or a por-
ton of the residence and on any un-
slightly fence that may surround the
lower part.
In the rear yard the walk leading
to the alley should be narrow and at
one side few shade trees should be
planted, together with narrow ir-
regular strip along the sides of what
ever shrubs and herbs best suit the
taste. These should be just far
enough apart to make solid mass
when full grown, planting larger
ones in the background, gradually
dropping towards the front, with va
rious smaller plants. The amount
that can be planted in such place is
surprising and still have room for
plenty of grass in the centre.

SOPHISTICATED FOOD.

Writing in the North Ameylcan Re
71ew, Senator w. E. Mason makes
some remarks pertinent to one Of the
questions of the moment.
There is vast field for discussion
under the head of "Sophistication"
including those articles of food which
are simply cheapened by substances
which are in themselves perfectly
healthy, but frauds. If milk is dilut-
ed by water, the only danger to health
is lack of nourishment, but it is also
a fraud upon the consumer. If, how
ever, it is preserved, as it is in some
cases, by the use of acids, it becomes
menace to public health and jellies
and jams, when manufactured, as
they are manufactured by the thou
sands of pounds. by the use of ge1a-
tine, vegetable dyes, and natural
acids, are simply fraud but when
they are manufactured through dan
gerous acids, which have no place in
the human economy, then different
rule should apply. Thousands Of
barrels of maple syrup and honey are
sold that do not contain 10 per cent.
of maple syrup or honey, and yet the
article known as glucose, and which
is used to sophisticate goods, is re-
garded by the experts as a perfect
ly safe, healthy and nutritious food.
This mixing or blending simply sells
to the consumer what he did not in
tend to buy, but it does not endanger
the public health. This is probably
true of the adulteration of spices.
From 20 to 80 per cent. of the ground
spices and peppers, &c., that we get
are made up of nutshells-certainly
not very desirable article of food,
and yet the amount taken being so
small it may not work a danger to
public health.
Yet the fact remains that all these
articles should be marked and brand
ed for what they are, and a violation
of that rule should be punished by a
national law. Every manufacturer
should be compelled to put his own
name and the date of manufacture on
the package which contains his pro-
duct.
The evidence is overwhelming that
the goods which are put up in pack
ages, bottles, and cans that have been
carelessly prepared, and the character
of which the manufacturer is not will
ing to stand for, are marked and sold
to the public under fancy and fciti-
tious names. And the writer of this
article will favor law that every bit
of prepared food exposed for sale
must bear the name of the manufac-
turer, so that the purchaser can see it
when he buys. And, further than
this, manufacturer who puts upon
the market an article of food that is
danaeerenaa d t9 fa pubic 4 MET
ting poisons to be sold to the public,
who have no time or opportunity to
educate themselves as to the effect of
poisons, and drugs that are sold as
foods, is simply legalizing a crime,
and should be punished to the full ex-
tent of the law.

NOT TO THE MANNER BORN.

A woman who is not to the man
ner born who attempts suddenly to
organize an up to date establishment
is apt to make many mistakes, especi-
ally in this country, where efficient
housekeepers are conspicuous by their
absence.
1t is generally the footnlan in the
new palaces that tell the tale" re-
marked a fashionable critic. "In
every other department money can
hire capable service. 1t is easy to
have a superior chef in the kitchen if
you can pay large enough salary.
A butler who understands his bust
ness can be found without difficulty,
while any good house mistress can
teach the maids their duties, but to

young and more or less inexperienced
in the way they should go requires
greater amount of ,a00iy aT5ve than is
generally possessed by the owners of
newly made fortunes.
"I have had several amusing ex-
periences lately that have caused me
to notice this fact. Not long since I
called on Mrs. Uptown Rich, who
has built superb house near the
Eighties. Rather to my surprise l
found her in and was ushered by one
gorgeous menial into a reception
room. Another bore off my card to
madam S apartment, while third, as
if ready for the signal, bore in sill
yer tray with sherry and cake, which
he presented to me. Upon my refu-
sal he placed the viands upon tea
table on which was spread lovely
repouse silver service. He then
lighted the lamp under the kettle and
stood bolt upright beside it. In the
meanwhile 1 was kept waiting by his
mistress for fully five or six minutes,
and the consciousness of the mans
presence in the room was by no means
pleasant, although he stood like a
wooden statue, with his eyes fixed
upon vacancy. Presently his mis-
tress entered and after cordial greet
ings invited me to have some tea,
an attention which I begged 10 de-
cline. After a few minutes conver-
sation took my leave, the man re-
naming like a sentinel on duty beside
the tea table, while the other two
performed the more conventional
duties of letting me out and opening
the door Of my carriage.
Another set of footmen who rather
give their mistresses away are those
of Mrs. Newcone Cresus, who over
whe1m you with tiresome attentions,
like hotel servants eager for tips. In
fact, to have two or three great idle
men standing about is, to my mind,
an annoyance in itself, and unless
they are perfectly trained they be-
come a positive nuisance; I am real

The mother of several sons was
walking with her daughter down the
street when they saw boy, his legs
coiled round tree trunk, while his
head hung downward some distance
from the ground. Had the legs slip
ped the boy must have fallen and his
skull probably split open. Round
the tree stood a circle of admiring
youths.

"Why, mother" cried the daugh-

other boy there brave enough to do
that"
"Of course there isn't" returned
the mother, joyously; mot one of
them would have the courage but
Tommy. I'm proud of him."

WHERE TO PUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

Because of carelessness or lack of
knowledge as to the proper place to
afix a postage stamp, the postal au-
thorities are caused much trouble.
Indeed, the matter has assumed such
great proportions as to necessitate the
issuance of a warning bulletin, as
follows: "The proper place for a
postage stamp on mail matter is the
upper right hand corner of the ad-
dress side. This facilitates cancella-
ton and distribution, and insures
prompt and proper treatmentthrough-
out the service. Stamps placed else
where are liable to be overlooked,
and the matter mistreated as unpaid,
or otherwise, and perhaps delayed in
dispatch therefore, unless impracti-
cable, stamps should be affixed on
the face of all mail matter"
