Sarcasm About the Clergy.

Lighter Moments is the title Of a
modest little book. chiefly anecdotes OF
the clergy, recently published in Lon
don by the executors of the late Bishop
Walsham How. He relates a couple of
anecdotes of Archbishop Magee. When
that dignitary was Bishop Of Peter
borough he was walking with the Bish-
op of Hereford by the Wye, and said:
IF you will give me your river will
give you my see." There is this other
story also in Bishop How's collection:
"a lady who was great admirer of a
certain preacher took Bishop Magee
with her to hear him, and asked him
afterward what he thought of the ser
mon. Tt was very long, the Bishop
said. Yes said the lady, but there
was saint in the pulpit And mar
tyr in the pew rejoined the Bishop"
DR.. How had the following definition:
"Dr. b of Oswestry has three
horses, which he has named High
Church. Low Church and Broad
Church. The reason he gives Is that
the first is always on his knees, the Sec
ond never, and as for the third you
never know what he will do next"

The Profession of Forestry.

A comparatively new profession in
America, and one that offers substan-
tial inducements to young men Of spe-
cial aptitudes, is that Of forestry. The
fact that the Federal Government is In
creasing the area of its forest preserves
largely every year, and that many
State governments are following this
laudable example suggests the ever
widening field already open to students
and specialists in the science of for
estry. 1t is now generally recognized
that every large forest reservation or
preserve needs for it's proper care and
supervision a corps of men trained for
this special purpose. Germany, France
and other European countries have had
their schools of forestry for years, and
their graduates are found in charge Of
forest lands in every part Of the old
world

Unclaimed.

Every year there are picked up in the
cutters of London, or taken from pawn
brokers' shops, jewels amounting In
value from fifteen to twenty thousand
pounds. These are duly advertised; but
for many reasons even people who rec
ognize the description Of their own
property in the advertisements 90 not
care to claim it, and it thus comes
about that the proportion OF property
left unclaimed is large one. 1t is the
rule, indeed, that where such valu-
ables have not previously been report
ed to the police by their owners as
missing they are seldom claimed after
wards. The London police keep all
such property for twelve months, ad-
vertising it in three daily papers dur
ing that period. If no one claims 1t,
and the account of the finder seems rea-
sonable, it is handed over to the latter,
the police deducting the cost Of the ad-
vertisements only. If pawnbroker has
detained the article and no one claims
it. the police at the end of twelve
months give the pawnbrsker reward;
and here let it be said that these re-
wards often amount in a year to large
sum. In this latter case the article is
sold, and the surplus money. after the
reward has been paid, is handed over,
not to the police funds, as most people
imagine, but to the relief and mainten-
ance Of discharged prisoners. 1t has
been put as paradox that thief may
in this way ultimately be led to new
way of life by his own original theft.

The strong man shook with emotion,
and a great sob burst from him as he
bowed his head upon little Marjorie's
neck and asked:

May, remembering her husbands
words when he came in, looked at him
inquiringly.
"Shall stay, MayY'
"Say yes, mamma-oh, say yes,

with truth, "as my heavenly father

Half an hour later the young wire,
with happy smie upon her sweet face,
pointed to little Marjorie, as she lay
sleeping in her fathers arms.

Pennsylvania oieo 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 it on
the market for just what it is, uncol-
ored and with no attempt to call it
butter.-Rural New Yorker.

ing the egg and market poultry
branches. The necessity for keeping
up the plant the year around and en-

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 it 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 Sart first and raising the up
per part from the inside. This closes
the opening sufficient to keep out all
storms provided the barn has hood

Watering Places.


There is need Of concerted action or
State law providing suitable water
ing places for horses along the much
travelled roads. In the olden times the
roadmakers, when the road crossed a
brook or ran along the edge of pond,
left places where one could drive in to
water the horse, and perhaps swell the
felcJes of the wheels if the tires were
loose, but now the brooks are bridged
over to the width of the road, and the
ponds fenced at the roadside to keep
animals out, because the water supply
for some town or village is taken from
it, and it must be kept pure. This is
all right when the town has provided
public watering places where man and
beast can quench their thirst, but
when economy prevails to such an ex-
tent that these are not put up, and one
NAV drive on a much Travelled road for
ten or fifteen miles without chance
for the horse to wash the dust out Of
his mouth, it is time that provision
were made, even if we returned to the
village pump and watering trough.
They were very well where no brooks
were available, but the pump some
times would not work we'll, and some
times the driver would not work the
pump handle, and the poor horse got
lukewarm and filthy water, or none at
all, unless the driver wanted drink
himself.-American Cultivator.

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
insects are kept in check in their native
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.

Losses from Grain Rusts.

The aggregate loss from rusts iB
grain is estimated by the Department
of Agriculture to be over $40,O0O,O 600
annually. The only method of con-
trolling rusts appears to be in the direc-
ton Of obtaining resistent varieties by
crossing and breeding. The loss from
SHUTS of grain is annually reduced
through the application of hot water and
other methods of treating the seed to
kill the smut spores. The present aver
age yield of grain, says the department
report, will be largely increased when
the smut diseases are conquered.

Thousands of dollars are annually lost

Alvah Agee tells in 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 13, in cloudy
weather, and light rains followed near
" every day until June Is. Most of it
was put in the heaps after about two
hours willing. 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.

Dairy Dots.


The feed does not affect the richness
of the milk. You cannot tell by the
looks of milk how rich it is.
You cannot afford to run cows on half
time.
To get high grade milk brush the
cows before milking, and it 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
stop summer shrinkage.
Don't make strainer do too much
work. Have fresh one for every ten
or a dozen cows.
Cool the milk and keep it at given
temperature.
Care, cleanliness and cold are the
three "c's" of milk production.

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 II 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 carb0lic acid So
luton, wash of in clear water the
earth from roots of plants, and repot in
fresh earth. Much work it is, but what
is the use of greenhouse when plants
will not grow?

The committee on Cleo

National House ofrepresenta ia
tives has decided that it is
best to test the law in sever
al Southern States which dis
franchises the c0iored people
and makes an appropriation
OF $685. 900 to meet such an ex7
pense. We do not believe
that this committee honestly
wishes to rake a test of this
law, and it appears that it's
decision is made more in the
interest of those wishing a fee
out of the Government Crib
than to protect the colored
and ignorant voter in his dis
puted rights.
Any law which tends to OBJ
literate ignorance is a good
one, and if a man ca sts a bal

he is more dangerous than if
not. allowed to vote at all;
and yet when the section of
county having this difficulty
to deal with wishes to put it

and obviously of little conse.
quence except to make funds
