An Old Man Not Living in the Past.

An Old Man Not Living in the Past.
At the Unitarian festival in Boston,
Senator Hoar spoke of the fine exam
pie set by men Of advanced age who
still live in the future rather than in
the past. ''Think of old Josiah Quincy
al co." he said. "Why, DR.. Ellis told
me that he called on old Quin, as the
boys at Cambridge used to call him,
when he was 90 years old, in 1862, the
darkest year of the civil war. The old
gentleman had fallen on the ice and
broken his hip, and he lay on his bed,
under the barbarous surgery of that
tine, with weight hanging on his foot
to keep the limb from shrinking. DR..
Ellis had said to Miss Quincy, when he
went in, You go and take walk, and
I will take care of your father for an
hour And the old fellow talked SO
cheerfully and hopefully of the success
Of the Union armies that, when the
daughter got back, DR.. Ellis got half
way downstairs before he remembered
that he had not once asked the old gen
tleman how his. leg was. So he went
back, and said, 4 have forgotten to ask
how your leg is getting along And
the old man brought his hand down on
It, and said, Oh the leg! | want to
see this business settledv Was that
living in the past"

Poultry Specializing.

There is much said about the neces-
sity of specializing in the poultry bust
ness, but the fact remains that nearly
all the successful poultrymen are unit
ing the egg and market poultry
branches. The necessity for keeping
up the plant the year around and en-
ploying all the time and facilities
seems to make it necessary to raise
broilers and market chickens as well
as layers. Besides, the broiler men
who depend upon others to furnish sat
isfactory eggs for Matching are likely
to be disappointed. and Home.

Curing Clover Hay.

Alvah Agee tells III the National
Stockman how he cured five acres of
clover hay this year, in which he goes
farther than we have advised in the
way of curing it in the heap, and we
have been accused of being very radi-
cal on that subject. He followed the
advice of T. N. Ralston, as given at the
Farmers Institute in Armstrong Coun-
ty. Pennsylvania. The clover was cut
from June IL and June 10. in cloudy
weather, and light rains followed near
ly every day until June IS. Most of it
was put in the heaps after about two
hours whiting. One lot was left an hour
longer, and this came out dark. One lot
was racked and punched before much
wilted, and some of this was moldy.
The punches were opened out and aired
on the following Monday not more
than is usually thought necessary In
ordinary handling, and then drawn to
the barn. With the exceptions above
noted. where the clover was wilted not
enough or too much before heaping, the
hay was quite green in color, with all
heads and leaves on and no waste. He
considers the experiment a success.

Friends Of Rutgers College learned

home cost Rutgers the magnificent es-
tate, with other property valued at
many thousands.
Mahlon G. Martin was a millionaire
rubber manufacturer. The fling Of his
will for probate was anxiously awaited
by Rutgers professors and alumni.
There was much chagrin when 1t was
found that the entire fortune Of several
millions had been left to Mr.. Martins
three sisters and his brother. Not q
mention was made Of the college in the
will.
through o sketch Of Mr.. Martins life
written by member of his family. It
is stated directly that 1t had been the
cherished hope Of the multi-millionaire
to leave to Rutgers the magnificent
New Brunswick estate with It's extern
sive grounds and splendid residence,
filed with curios and priceless an
! tiques, But this plan had been changed
because of "cruel wrong done him
by the college. This cruel wrong was
the college athletic grounds. 1t Is
stated that their establishment in such
close proximity to his home shortened
Mr.. Martins life. He fought against
the plan from the first. He remor-
strated in a friendly way, then made
indignant protests. He was considered
eccentric and the college authorities
tried to placate him. He offered to sup
ply Rutgers with another field In an
other part of the city. The offer was
rejected.
Mr.. Martin accepted the rejection as
evidence of malice. The report says.
st is fortunate that he had opportu-
nifty, after having been made to suffer
this cruel wrong and many insults, to
prevent so unworthy fate Detailing
Shady Cliff as to be given over to an
institution capable of such malice"
: 1t was only after he had secured the
passage by the City Council of an or.
dinance prohibiting the location Of any
athletic field in the city unless owners
of the adjoining property. consented,
which the Mayor promptly vetoed, that

Pennsxlvania Oleo Law.

The Superior Court of Pennsylvania
decided that what is known as the
color clause of the oleo law is sound.
This means that oleo cannot legally be
sold. Yellow is the standard color of
butter, and it is illegal to counterfeit
other fats by coloring them yellow. In
stead 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 oleo. Let them put 1t on
the market for just what it is, uncol-
ored and with no attempt to call it
butter-Rural New Yorker.

Folding Hay Door.

1t has always been good deal OF
trouble to close the end door to barn
where hay Is taken in with horse hay
fork. We prefer to drive in the barn
to unload the hay, but will admit that
a barn will hold more when 1t is taken
in at the end. The cut explains itself.
The upper part of the door Is hung to
the lower part and folds in when open
and will open clear back under the cor
nice and can be easily closed by closing
the lower part first and raising the up
per part from the inside. This closes
the opening sufficient to keep out all
storms provided the barn has a hood

Care of Greenhouses.

Insects and fungous diseases are bad
enough in the open field, but much
worse when they get into the green
house. An occasional scalding of the
benches and shelves, and washing
them down with solution of carbolic
acid or sulphuric acid, will help much
to keep them out, but If this fails it
may be necessary to clean them out,
removing the earth and putting in a
new supply, then close and fumigate
with burning charcoal and sulphur,
taking care not to inhale the fumes, or
let them get into another house where
the plants are. Remove earth from all
pots, wash them with carbolic acid So
luton, wash off in clear water the
earth from roots of plants, and repot in
fresh earth. Much work it is, but what
is the use of a greenhouse when plants
will not grow?

Two hundred and ninety millions Of
dollars for poultry, the proceeds Of one
year, compared with $1S6,000,000 for

phasis the enormous magnitude Of the

when it is remembered that we are still

ply every home demand and be able to
export besides. England imports 1885,

You cannot afford to run cows on half

To get high grade milk brush the
cows before milking, and 1t is advised
by many that the udders be clipped.
Manage to have the cows come fresh,
so as to maintain a uniform supply
throughout the year.
1t is claimed that summer silage will

Foreign Insect Pests.

Some of the insects brought to this
country from abroad do more damage
to crops than in their native countries.
They are the more destructive here be-
cause their natural enemies (such as
parasites) were left behind; hence the
localities and have greater opportuni-
ties to multiply in America. The cab
bage worm, so destructive here, has a
parasite in Europe which prevents it
from doing great damage. The Hessian
fly parasite, however, has been import
ed to this country, and has done much
to keep the fly in check.

Messenger today pabiishes the following;
'The foreign Office received q telegram
today direct from M. De Giers, the Russian
minister at the Chinese capital, from Pc
kin. The dispatch was evidently taken by
special courier to lsi Nan from the capl-
tai of Shun lung and was thence tele-
graphed, August I, by the local yamen.
IN. De Giers announces that the siege
of the legations continues, the besieged
still having some provisions left. The
Chinese government proposes to transmit
the ministers messages and that they leave
Pekin. As the ministers had not sufficient
guarantee they replied that they must re-
ceiye the permission of their governments
before leaving the city"
The Messenger then announces that the
ears approval has been given for M, De
Giers to start for Tentsin with his entire
staff and the marine guard, on condition
that the existing government at Pekin
and the emperor afford them a sure guar
antee that the journey can be undertaken
without danger.
AT the same time M. De Giers is expect
ed to call attention to the heavy respon-
sibiity of the Chinese government will in
siomty that the Chinese government will
incur should there be the slightest infrac-
ton Of the inviolability Of the persons ac-
companying them to Tientsin.
