The Democratic wave which is
sweeping v e the country has so badly
ratified Mark Hanna that he has lost
his head and the little decency he pos
sessed. A few days ago, in a fit of
temper, he declared that "Bryan is
making an ass of himself" The
Washington Times says nobody is
going to make that charge against
Hanna and thus tells why: "Measur-
ed by the coarseness and vulgarity Of
his language in speaking of the Demo-
cratic candidate for the president, the
panic in which Marcus A. Hanna finds
himself must be nearly complete. Men
OF his overbearing nature and litter
racy invariably become abusive and
blackguardly in defeat. In a press in
terview in Cleveland on Sunday, Han
ma declared that Bryan is making an
ass of himselfn II that could be true
it would be an operation which Hanna
never could perform. God Almighty
saved him the effort on Sept. "a, 1897"

better to keep but one variety and.
make that specially. Il the amount
of work that the owner can afford to
put into the care Of the flock is small
1t would certainly be best to have but
one breed. II the work is to be done
by the wife and children then one
breed is all that should be handled.
IL the man can afford to devote his
entire time to the work then num-
Der Of breeds may pay. But they will
require both greater expense and
greater outlay in labor. Every per-
son that has tried to keep but two
breeds separate knows how greatly the
work is increased. There are twice
as many watering places and twice as
many feeding places and twice as
many roosts to look after. No rule
can be laid down that will apply to
all cases, but it is certainly best to
stick to one breed till there is some
positive reason to believe that two
breeds would more than repay the ex'
ira care necessary in keeping them.

Soy Beans for Swine.

Many farmers in Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri are using soy or sofa beans as
a forage crop for swine with great sue
cess, says the Farmer. In the dryer
portions of Kansas Kafir corn has been
found great drouth resister and a fine
crop for swine feeding. Experiments
in all directions are suggesting new
and cheaper food for pork making, and
the farmer who wants to be up to date
must keep posted as to the new discov-
cries along the line of cheap food for
pigs. Prof. Shaw, from some recent
experiments, is confident that he has a
variety of the soy bean that will sue
coed in the northwest. We already
know that rape will furnish an i'm
mense amount of feed to the acre, and
rape grows anywhere in the northwest.
When clover grows that is a cheap
food. If the soy bean proves to be
better than clover or rape it will be a
valuable acquisition as it is a soil rem
ovator, like clover and peas. Prof.
Shaw will soon have something for the
public relating to- the new: variety o.;
the Soy bean. When he gets hold OF
good thing he does not hide it unde,

FARM AN D GA RDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
A0RIcULTURlSTs. .
Smut OF Corn.

Il To the Farmers. Review: What
farmer does not know corn-smut, that
cankerous growth that appears In his
:cornhelds every summer? But what
farmer calculates the damage this dis
ease does? The disease is not con-
fined to the ears alone. but
lessons the yield Of the whole plant
thus affected. This fungus does not
gain access to the plant in the same
manner as oat smut enters oats. The
spores Of corn-smut terminate In the
dew upon the plants and finds entrance
TO the tissues of the part in a very
short time. Once within, they grow
with great rapidity and often produce
the smut boils in three weeks from
the time they first enter. A few days
after these boils are produced they
break and give their seed-bodies or
spores to the wind, which carries them
to new plants.
The most economical method OF
fighting this disease is to cut off and
burn all these smut masses before the
grey vail has broken. If taken at this
time the chance of spreading the
spores is prevented. : The operation
may be done in the early part of the
season when the corn is being cult
waited; box or basket being carried
upon the cultivator to hold the growths
removed. After the crop is laid by a
boy by visiting the field once a week
or ten days may easily keep the disease
In hand. When eaten, the vitality OF
the seed-bodies is not destroyed. 1t
Will therefore be we'll to have as little
smut in the fodder as possible. And
this remark applies to slower and en-
sllage. The manure in which the
spores fall seems to assist in their
termination and to carry infection to
the field. For this reason, also, have
as little go to the alls and feeding
pens as possible. Common opinion
says that corn-smut produces abortion
in COWS. Such, however, is not the
case, as has been proved by expert
ment with number of pregnant and
milking cows fed excessive doses Of
the growths. The general health and
the milk yield were constant and reg
ular throughout the test. And If an
imals could stand these excessive doses
it is hardly likely that the quantities
obtained by cows in ordinary cases
could be harmful. The smut contains
no ergotine nor other poisonous aka
loid, but resembles coarse folders in
composition. The cattle treated ate 1T
readily and in preference to grain 1t
seems safe, therefore, to conclude that
cattle under ordinary conditions will
not suffer from eating this material. =

How to Stop Worrying.


''The' usual way people set about
stopping worry is a wrong one" writes
Mary Boardman Page in the Ladies'
Home Journal. tThat is why it is so
unsuccessful. If the doctor tells a pa
tient he must stop worrying, the pa,
tient is likely to say, impatiently:
oh, doctor, don't wish that I could.
But L can't: II could have stopped
worrying a year ago I wouldn't be ILL.,
now'--all OF which is probably perfect
" true. And the doctor does not al
ways. know howeto help him, because
both doctor and patient have an idea
that it Is impossible to suppress worry
through an effort OF the will. This is
a mistake. It Is not possible to repress
worry. = You have got. to replace it
with something else. Let me illustrate
this by figure Suppose you were to
go into a completely dark room, wish
ing it to be Light. How would you set
about tine work? Would you try to
scoop the darkness up in buckets and
carry tt out at the door? Not at all.
You would Just open the windows and
shutters and let In the blessed sun
light You would replace the darkness
with light So it is with worry. The
only possible way to get rid Of it is to-
replace the worry attitude of the mind
with the non-worry attitude. And
this can always be done when the ner-
SON is sincere and patient in his de-
sire to bring it about. All he has to do
is to be passive and let nature have her
own perfect way with him. =. sss55

THE ENGLISH FLOWER GARDEN
Closely Connected with the ChsnEs. IN
s.ss National Chsracter.

D.. -,
The fluctuations and history Of the
taste for flower gardening IN England
are more closely connected with the
changes in national character than
most of the decorative and creative
arts, says the Spectator. There is clear
evidence that when in the days Of Eliz-
aoeth and James I. every one was.
building fine houses and "all England
was stone-cutter's yard" flowers were
sought for beauty's sake-fowers
which, as Gerarde quantity says Of the
sweet-William, though not good tor
the belly, were meet to deck the breast
OF beauty" The building Of the more
purely renaissance houses in the days
or charles l. and Charles II. gave us
much that was best in the Italian gar
dens-terraees and baIustrades of per-
1ect proportions, good statues, exqui-
site gates, fine old lead work. This
is a great Inheritance, and the work
still remains, and if some complain of
them as of the architecture of St.
Peters, that it is ''*too rational, far too
earthly others will never cease to-
enjoy the intellectual pleasure of see
ing these fine forms, the terraces, the
tripods and the sundials, and the
winged horses and tritons by the lakes,
which we borrowed from Italian
brains. But the Italian garden is not
a Hover garden. The only thing
which we borrowed from them on and
under which flowers grow is the per-
COLA. Their gardens meant shade,
level walks in a country which was all
hills, water and marble work, adorned
with statues. Even the Spanish gar
dens of the Alcazar, though full Of
orange and citron, have few flowers.
We now add to this the brilliant car
pet bedding in the formal parts; and
the modern wilderness" with the in
termediate herbaceous garden. The
latter has not in the least killed the
admiration for the outdoor architec-
tural arts. At the present moment
wrought iron gates, ratings, statues of
bronze, vases of lead and marble, are
being Imported from the ancient cha
teaus of France and the villas of Italy
into England to be sold to owners, Of
gardens, old and new.

THE ARAB HORSE.
He Has Few Needs and treat Endurane
.# and Spirits. 81


An Arab can not dispense with food
altogether, like the legendary camel OF
travellers tales, but his needs are few.
and he will maintain his health and
spirits under conditions which other
horses would never be able to endure.
Indeed, not only can he put up With
hardships at pinch, but he actually
deteriUrates under the generous Tegi-
men which is considered necessary for
other horses. This has been proved
over and over again by purchasers who
have refused to believe the usual three;
feeds Of corn, to be supererogatory and
the morning hour of walking exercise
insufficient. There is probably no be-
ing so obstinately conservative as AM
English coachman, and, even when he
finds an Arab grow utterly unman-
ageable, he is not to be convinced that
the simple cause is lack of exercise and
exuberance of feeding. The fact is, an
Arab is naturally so high-spirited and
SO difficult to tire that even single
feed of corn is excessive unless he Isl
being subjected to exceptionally hard
work. He will answer every require
ment as hunter if his diet be re-:
strlcted to HAY or even to grass, and in
the summer time he is most satisfac-
tory If he has the run of the paddock,
where he can chose his own food and3
exercise: So far, the quality of the
normal Arab in everyday life. What
a picked horse can do when put upon
his mettle almost battles belief. An
officer, recently returned from the
soudan,. relates that after a ride OF
800; miles his horse showed no signs
OF work, though he had cast all his
shoes before accomplishing quarter
of the journey, though many of the
camels: had died and the others had
suffered severely Again, it was an
Arab Of 14.2K, which carried ten
stone six pounds and won a ten-mile
race at Ferozepore in Is minutes,
feat of endurance probably unequaled
In equine annals: And Lord Roberts
can bear testimony to the powers of
the Arab which carried him through
all his campaigns during Is years, and,
alone among the horses of history,
received official authority to wear the
Afghan medal with four clasps. Such
qualities are worth insisting upon at (

Have Done More to Suppress Crime
Than Any Other Agency.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: 81. see
some fellow is going to start a: paper
that won't print any reports of crime;"
said an old detective. HE thinks such
news is immoral and harmful to: the
public, and If he was in my line of
business I dare say he would change
his mind. The old-time professional
crooks who went in for big game have
ceased almost entirely to operate: and
1t is very seldom that one hears of a
great bank robbery, burglary on a.
large scale or confidence game in
zVo1v1ng more than few, hundred dol
lars. In my opinion this Is due en-
tirely to the newspapers. When a big
crime is committed it gets wide pub
hclty, descriptions of suspects are cir
culated all over the country and the
public generally is put on the alert.
This greatly increases the chances of
catching the criminals, and has made
such jobs so dangerous that, as I said
before, they have been practically hban->
doned. The newspapers have undoubt-
edly broken up 'bunko' and other dan
gerous confidence games that used to
gather in thousands of victims every
year: They did it by exposing them
SO thoroughly that at last it became
next to impossible to find sucker
who WASH It posted in the scheme from
top to bottom. Not long ago was
talking to chap who used to be in
the green goods business in New Jer-
sey. He cursed the newspapers very
bitterly and declared they had taken
the bread out Of his mouth, to say
nothing of the Perfecto cigars and two
bit whisky he formerly put into it.. Il
