The superior court of Pennsylvania
decided that what is known as the
color clause OF the cleo law is sound.
says The Rural New Yorker. This
means that cleo cannot legally be sold.
Yellow is the standard color of butter,
and it is Illegal to counterfeit other
fats by coloring them yellow. Instead
of grieving over this the oleo men
ought to rejoice, for it gives them a
grand chance to prove that people are
eager to buy cleo, Let them put il on
the market for just what it is, uncol-
Ored and with no attempt to call it
butter. Let them offer it for sale at
the same per cent above cost of pro-
duction that dairymen receive. That
ought TO satisfy any honest man.

The necessity Of using pure salt is
apparent to every butter and cheese
maker, says The American Agriculture
list. In butter making it serves three
purposes. First, it aids i'm the removal
of buttcrmilk and surplus moisture,

than unsalted as "A rule; second. it aids

WANTED HIS FARE RUNG UP.
An Italian Who Demanded Music of

Tho conductor of n Brooklyn trolley
car had a peculiar experience with an
Italian II night last week. The
Italian wanted to ride with music
thrown in for his > cents. \ passenger
described the incident:
II boarded the car with six other pas
sengers, including an Italian. at the
suburban end of the road on one of the
late trips. The car had zone n short
distance when the conductor began to
collect the fares. The Italian was on
the rear seat, and his money was col
lected last. Everything went well for
about half n mile, when the italian
jumped to his feet and waved his
hands at the conductor. The conductor
went to the excited mar and asked him
what the trouble was. The Italian
said:
Me Wanta my tiva centa back
"The conductor told him that he
could not have the money. The italian
insisted:
Every boda gotta music for a 1ya
centa; me mo- got
"The conductor grasped the situation
at once, and, seeing hat he was ac-
cused of 'nickeling,' started to clear
himself. He showed the Italian that

c. Fred Childs of Brattleboro, who re-
turned recently from a trip around the
world, formed the acquaintance in Pekin
last November of the United States lega-
ton and of many missionaries who were
slaughtered by the Boxers. Mr.. Childs
dined twice at the legation with Minister
Conger. Secretary Squires and their fam
lilies. Rev. and Mrs. Tewksbury, the
Bournes and other missionaries were fell
low vovagers with Mr.. Childs on the
way to Pekiu. Mr.. Childs spent some
time in Pekin, and made the journey
from there north to the great wall of
China. Mr.. Childs says when he entered
a shop in Pekin with ladies it was neces-
sarv for him to stand at the door with a
club, to prevent the curious Celestials
from CrOwding into the store and crush
ing the people therein, and that when he
and his companions emerged from "a store
the street would be packed with
thousands of natives anxious to get
a look at the white people. The Chinese
in Pekin and vicinity are different in ap-
pearauce and larger in statur than those
seen in the United States. Almost all of
the country from Tien-Isin to Pekiu is a
wind swept desert, which would present
great obstacles to al army attempting to
approach Pekin. How so many thousands
and millions of the Chinese are able to
live in such a desolate country is "a won
derment to Americans. Mr.. Childs does
NOT believe a w~ell-equipped army of
10000 men could make their way into
PekIn.

~WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
Absence of Rain and Hot Weather Made
In.t NNcnL InInNnrnhle for CrOns.

Absence of Rain and Hot Weather Made
Last Week Uniavorable for Crops.
The extremely hot weather of the
early part of the week ending July %
and the general absence of rain has made
the week unfavorable for most crops.
ONLY Maine and the northern counties In
New Hampshire and Vermont report
sufficient rains, and in most localities'
particularly in the southern districts,
there is a general complaint on account
of the drought in some places it has al
ready produced irreparable injury.
Where showers have occurred, chiefly
in the northern parts of the section
vegetables and fruits have made rapid
growth, but over the larger portion of it
these crops have suffered greatly from
the extreme heat and lack of rain. NO
serious harm was done to the crops by
the severe thunderstorms and squalls OF
the week. and with the exception OF parts
of Vermont and New Hampshire vege-
tables are unusually free from injury by
bugs and insects. Early potatoes are re-
ported of good quality, but below the
average in yield. In the southern sec
lions the late varieties are suffering
greatly from the drought. Berries and
other fruits. with the exception of apples
which have been dropping considerably,
promise well.
Devastating forest fires have broken
out in Barnstable county, Massachusetts,
and parts Of New Hampshire, which IN
account of the unusually dry condition
of vegetation, will be almost impossible
to subdue without rain.
Owing to the cloudy and showery CON
ditions but little progress in harvesting
the hay was made in northern districts.
The CrOp is generally estimated to be be
low the average yield. Unless copious
showers relieve the present drought
there will not be a second crop. Swalp,
or fresh hay, is in prime order in eastern
Massachusetts, and abundant crops are
being harvested. The haying season has
practically closed in many sections of
the district. In many sections pasturage
is deficient, and farmers are obliged to
feed their stock at the barn.
Corn is uniformly reported good, espe-
cially in Maine, and is beginning TO
tassle. a few sections of Vermont indi-
cate too abundant rains for the best
growth of corn. The rapid ripening Of
oats and rye during the past week has
produced an early harvest, and a fine
yield is generally reported.
Excepting raspberries. a bountifui
yield of berries seems to be promised.
Cherries are reported as being unusually
good in southern Vermont, and grapes
are doing well in central Massachusetts.
Notwithstanding the fact that apples are
dropping badly in many districts, there
is a general opinion. particularly in the
northern sections, that there will be a
fair yield.
For the larger portion of the district
the reports are favorable for tomatoes
and sweet corn. In Massachusetts the
latter is beginning to silk. In the south
ern sections potatoes are blighted, with
a small yield of early varieties. Maine
and Vermont are the only states which
furnish an encouraging report on this
vegetable.

Where DO the Weeds Come From
one field on the experiment station
farm has been moved continuously for
some twenty years. There were, of
course. many weeds upon it, but no kale.
It was plowed and seeded with clean
oats. but early in July one would have
thought at first sight that ii had been
Sown with pure kale seed instead. Where
does the kale come from: This question
is often asked by the farmer when per
picked by developments similar to the
above. Such experiences as these have
made many believe in 'spOntaneous
generations, al least as concerns weeds.
But when asked to explain it our eX-
pertinent station b~otanist shakes the
head aud says that every kale plant
grows from "A kale seed. No seed, no
plant. Seeds of many plants may lie
dormant in the ground for years-es-
p~ecially if buried rather deeply. Dr..
Beal of the Michigan experiment station
has made am interesting test of the mat
ter. In lS79 he mixed seeds of various
kinds in damp sand, placed the mixture
in bottles and buried the bottles twenty
inches beneath the surface in sandy soil.
At the end Of five years, at the end OF
ten years, at the end of fifteen years,
and finally in 1893 at the end of twenty
years he dug up som of these bottles
and tested the viability of the seeds. OF
the twenty-five kinds of seed buried,
eleven, or Just one-half, failed to grow.
Some of the others terminated as fol-
lows: Black mustard Is per cent. pepper
grass - per cent, shepherds purse IS
per cent, purslane If per cent, mullen
81 per cent. No true kale seed was used
in the experiment, but the black mus
tard is so closely related hat it proba-
bly, represents what will occur with kale.
The eradication of kale hinges then upon
destroying ii before 1t seeds. This is
easily done in hoed crops, of course, but
how can it be done in grain fields other
han by hand pulling? Recent trials in
Europe suggest that it Is possible TO de-
stroy kale and similar weeds by spraying
the field with a solution of blue vitriol
Copper sulphate) in water which may
be so weak as not to inIure the grain.
The tests have been repeated at some
OF the experiment stations in this coun-
try and it has been found that solutions
of from ! to 3 per cent Il pound in 1
to II gallons may be used, and if APP
piled as a fine spray 10 gallons to an
acre will destroy the kale, with little or
no injury TO the grain. The spraying
should be done when the plants are
young. While its practicability is not
fully established it is at least worthy of
further trial.

Mr.. Goebel was shot down from an

his assassin was blocked by Taylor's
orders. Two days have passed and
