IMPERIALIST LOGIC.

The imperialist demonstration that
we could not have got our military
forces into China this year If we had
not forced a needless war on the poor
Filipinos year and half ago is one
of those powerful exhibitions of logic
which leave everything except the
logic out of account.-Hartford Times.
And it isn't worth a continental as
logic. We can't use our forces in the
Philippines for the invasion of China.
They can't be spared. We can do
nothing in China with less than 10000
men, and if we should take that many
soldiers out of Luzon the Filipinos
would eat up the balance. If we ever
do anything in China we will have to
raise another army at home

That night the young couple sat long

Selecting Grain For Seed.

If farmers would select their largest
and plumpest grain for seed they could
seed much less heavily than they do
and grow larger crops as well. This
has been many times proven by care
full experiment. There was saving
in the amount of seed used and gain
in the amount of crop grown that made
a great difference in the cost of grow
ing the crop, in some cases all the diff
ference between profit and loss. The
same thing is true of garden seeds.
One had better pay dollar a pound
for plump, well-developed and we'll
ripened seeds than to have inferior
seed given to them. Probably seed
will average better this year than it
has some years, because of the favor
able weather for ripening and curing
it, but we repeat our advice to the
gardener to test his seed by putting
some of it between damp cloths to see
how much will germinate before SOW
ing. 1t is provoking to SOW lot of
seed with great care and find that but
a small part comes up, perhaps just
enough to encourage one to care for
the crops, instead of digging it up and
putting in some other, and not enough
to warrant the expectation of more
than half fair crop. Yet almost every
gardener has had such an experience.

The Unsteady North pole.

Although the inhabitants of the
earth are not perceptibly affected by
the wandering motion of the North
Pole, yet it is phenomenon of un-
ceasing interest to astronomers, and
on January 1st new plan for in
vestigating it went into effect. TIE
motion, which is suggestive of the
wabbling of II top, is extremely slight
when the vast size of the earth is
taken into account.
Since 1890, the North Pole has
never been more than thirty i've feet
away from the place it should occupy
If the earth's axis of revolution never
varied in direction. But the motion
is erratic, and its cause is obscure.
The new plan of observation was
formed by the International Geodetic
Association. 1t provides four OBJ
serving stations, all close to the
thirty ninth degree OF north latitude,
and all within 500 feet of the same
parallel. These are at Midzusawa,
Japan; Carloforte, Sardinia; Gaithens-
burg, Maryland, and Ukiah, Cali.

with exactly the same kind of zenith
telescopes will be made at each station
on carefully selected stars. Any
change in the direction of the pole
reveals itself by shift of the stars. -

Selling Young Pigs.

Young pigs always bring price
that is considerably above their pres
ent value if killed to furnish meat.
The young pig will increase in weight
very rapidly in proportion to the food
it consumes, and this fact is sure to
be discounted by the seller when he
fixes the price. The young pigs also
keeps the tenderness of flesh and fine
flavor OF the roasting pig stage until
it is several months old, and roast
pig weighing eighty to ninety pounds
is as good eating as one killed when
it is not more than eight weeks old.
This, however, depends on how the
pig has been kept. If allowed to sur
felt itself and become dyspeptic, the
meat will show that the animal has
had fever and will be neither tender
nor healthful as food.

Take Advantage of Natures GIFTS.

What the farmer wants is to have
nature furnish his fertilizers. Com.
mercial fertilizers are no doubt all
right and some of them are excellent
as well as being all their manufactur-
ers claim for them, but the slice
which they cut off the profits of the
farm is the thing that hurts the
farmer.
When farmers are practicng close
farming-raising market stuff on from
two to five acres and make good
living off it-why then it is a case of
compulsion, but when the available
land is in such quantities that strips
or plots, and in some cases, fields can
be allowed to rest why then there is
hardly any reason at all why man
should part with his hard earned
money by paying big fertilizer bills.
OF course a growing crop is bound
to take something, and in fact great
deal, from the soil which has got tc
be put back if any kind of q decent
crop is expected in the future and ma.
ture comes to the farmers relief, for
it provides for him many different
plants that will not only grow and re-
store to the soil most of that which
has been taken from it by numerous
crops, but it will also furnish him
with an abundance of hay with which
to feed his stock. Farmers should
not fail to take advantage of this gem
erous gift Of nature and those who dc
so will find both themselves and their
farms better off in the future. New

Useful Clothing For Summer.

Having friend at court enabled rs
to get an advance peep at the very
first Importation of wash tailor gowns
just received by one of our most eX-
elusive shops. The only trouble was
among so many beauties which to
choose to show you says the Phlladel-
phla Record. The two sketches here
however. embody several of the new
est and most deslrable of the features
of these gowns for this season. The
first Is made of khaki, the smartest
and most exclusive of cotton stuffs for
this summers tallor-mades. The
round dip front, Elton Jacket. with
very plain sleeve. is the very proper
est spring jacket model. The revers
are covered with an applique of heavy
white embroidery, and band TO
match heads the circular ruffie OH the
skirt. These circular ruffies are stlll
la mode on tailor gowns of either wool
or cotton. but only run across the sides
and back, finishing at each side of the
box plat. Then too. they do not flare
nearly SO much as last season. being
cut palmer, with Il scarcely percepti-
ble tare. The combination of the tan
nlsh yellow of the khaki and the heavy
white embroidery is stylish in the eX-
treme.
A white plque, cut with one of the
new kilted skirts. Is shown in the sec
Ond sketch, with heavy white insertion
trimming the bodice. This Is also a
very smart gown, its trimmed and
fitted bodice making II rather dressier
than the other one, although their
styles do not conflict with one another,
as they are designed for different oc-
caslons. While the jacket suit may,
with perfect proprlety, be Worn for
any occasion where a wash gown is
permissible. yet, as has been said, the
design OF the other makes It more
dressy and gives It rather less Of gen
eral utility style than the Jacket model.
