GOOD "sHIFTLEssNEss."

A correspondent of the New York

of the word "shiftlessness" with refer
ence to the South, says:
"You know you cannot get this through
some northern peoples brain, viz: That
there is something to live for in this world
besides making money. They class it
'shiftlessness and laziness' because when
they go south they do not find every man
straning every nerve to sell them some
thing, and separate them from their
money, but they try, on the other hand
to entertain them. SEQ go;
For my part, l hope that the South
will never be able to shake off that kind
of 'shiftlessness, and that is one of the
reasons that ! want to go back there to

A CAROLINA PHILANTHROPY.

That is a fine bit of satire which
Prof. j. Allen Holt, of Oak Ridge Insti-
tute, contributes to the Springfield Re-
publican, based upon Mr.. Rockefeller's
claim that he had given millions to peo-
pie whom he had employed. Here is the
way Mr.. Holt puts it:
Il am nothing but poor school teacher
who has had reasonable success, as sue
cess is counted among my craft / have
tried to inculcate by precept and practice
among my pupils the duty of public lib
crafty. have given, as God has blessed
me, a portion, larger or smaller, to most
of the enterprises of my church and
neghborhood, and have made some con-
tributions to the poor at home and to
those in distress abroad from fire, famine,
flood and disaster when the public has
been called on for help. have recog-
nized that my home did not stop at my
front gate Still, / had always felt very
modest about it till l read Mr.. Rookie
feller's Sunday school speech. However,
/ have counted up and find | have given
away to help others over $4,000 in
charity This has been in the shape of sal
aries to teachers and servants This
does not include another sum, probably
larger by considerable, which l have
given my tailor and grocer and my wife s
favor!te merchant, milliner and dress
maker All in all, l begin to feel myself
something of a philanthropist."
1t is barely possible that the men en-
ployed by Mr. Rockefeller and Mr.. Holt
rendered value received for the salary
and wages received and will not relish
being put down as beneficiaries.

QUALITY OF BUTTER.
Tests Made Mt the Illinois University
Station sK bw That 1t Varies
from Day to Day.

At the agricultural station at
tached to the Illinois university, a
test was conducted last year for the
special object of studying the varia-
tons in the yield and quality of milk
obtained from a number of COWS
specially selected for the purpose,
and the results obtained were very
curious, and in many respects very
conflicting. The experiment lasted
for period of close on year. AS an
outcome of the results obtained dur
ing the period the officials having
charge of the researches came to the
following conclusions: 1. The yield
of milk from different cows under
the same conditions differs greatly,
and that from the same cow varies
greatly from day to day. 2. The COM
position of milk is highly variable;
the ratio of the fat to other solids,
and that of other solids to water are
not constant as between different
cows or for the same COW on success
sive days. 3. The percentage of fat
or of other solids is not always high
est in the smaller yields, but cows
that give milk with high per cent.
of solids generally show low total
yield. 4. Fat is the most variable
constituent of milk, and it's variations
are independent of those of the
other solids; therefore, the yield
of milk is a better intedX of the
other solids than it is of the fat. s..
AS regards the first and last milk
drawn, the proportion of solids not
fat is higher in the first, bat the pro-
portion of fat is decidedly greater in
the last. 6. Neither day time nor
night time is shown to be superior as
a milk-producing period. Z. Different
cows differ in their power to make
milk from food, al the same COW
varies In this respect from time to
time. s. Aside from the influence Of
food or environment, eacn animal ex-
hibits individual variations of her
own, and such variations tend to
show something like periodicity in
the separate functional activities OF
the animal body.

must be leveled down when the cut
ting ceases. Keeping up the leveling
process will dispose of most of the
weeds. The leaves after cutting, if
spread on the earth about the hills,
will also assist greatly in smothering
the weeds, besides having considera BILE
fertilizing value and acting as partial
mulch.
When it is desired to grow especially
large stalks of rhubarb for a choice
trade or for exhibition purposes, it is
possible to increase the natural size
by thinning out all but the vigorous
center buds, simply cutting them off
with a sharp spade, allowing the whole
strength of the roots to go to the
large, vigorous looking buds, of which
not more than one or two should be
allowed to develop. To stimulate the
hill to its utmost, set a large flower
pot into the ground between the hills,
in the row, as in tlA accompanying il
lustration, and fill it often with liquid
manure of which too much cannot be
given. A good substitute for liquid
manure is nitrate of soda dissolved in
water, using about a teaspoonful of
soda to two or three quarts of water.
Varieties like the mammoth treated
by this plan will grow stocks of enor-
nous size and attract much attention

HOW TO GROW RHUBARB.
Production of Large Stalks for Exc
hibitiOn or Choice Trade Is
Lucrative Occupation.

Families who move on to a new farm
will find that the quickest way to pro-
luce a supply of material for pies,
sauces, etc, is to set out rhubarb
plants. If these are obtained by divid-
Eng old hills they will begin growing
at once, and can be pulled little the
first season. A dozen hills will supply
an average family. 1t may also be
grown from seed. One pound will sow
about six average hotbed frames and
should yield at least 1000 plants.
A practical way to blanch stalks in
spring is to throw up the soil with a
pillow about one foot thick over the hill.

and flavor. This covering of earth

lustration represents the gap while
the water is low. During a flood
everything passes over the top. At a

attempt going through. The bars or
Stats shN@ld be sunk in the bed of the

the stream. The pole must also be
secured at both ends by means OF
posts or stakes. Should any drift ac'
cumulate on the Stats while the water
is low. as soon as the water is high
enough to flow over the top of the
gate, all the drift will be washed
