sot necessary that this seed be secured
from the breeder fresh every year, but
seed will not as a rule remain pure
more than four or five years. 1t then
becomes necessary to again secure
well-br seed. AS yet the demand has
been but little developed. Farmers are
just beginning to realize the import
ance and benefit of improved seed, but
even now corn breeders are not able to
supply the demand. That this demand
will increase far beyond the capacity of
corn breeders to supply there is no

The Asnarngus Bed.

We believe In moving the asparagus
bed in the fall and burning it over to
destroy the beetles, eggs and rust that
may be there. Others who have grown
much more of it than we have prefer
to have the old stalks remain until
spring, as helping to hold the snow On
the bed. But in either case We would
cut out and carry away all the seed
bearing plants before the seed begun
to fall. The little seedlings in the old
bed are no better than as many weeds.
If seedlings are wanted to set a new
bed, cut the stalks when the seed is
nearly ripe, and hang them up TO ripen,
and sow the seed in a new bed from
which 1t may be transplanted at year
old. We like good yearling plants bet
ter than two year olds.-New England

Teaching Lambs 70 Feed.

When a lamb is two weeks old it Is
ready for feeding something in addi-
ton to the ewes milk. 1t is true that
by feeding the eve her milk will be
increased, but the first thing to do is to
feed the ewes, for the sake of the
lambs. which may be fed indirectly
in this way from the first day of their
lives. The lambs are easily taught 10
feed by themselves if they are prOvid.
ed with suitable feeding pens into
which they MY go through narrow
openings too small for the ewes. This
is the simplest matter possible. To
catch lamb and take it into the pen
and put little of the feed provided
into its mouth is all that is needed; the
lambs will do the rest; for where one
goes all will want to go instanter.-

A Grand Hotel Center.

1t is stated that New York is the
greatest hotel center in the world. We
have more hotels than London, Paris
and Berlin combined. In few years a
private house will be a novelty. People
are awakening to the fact that fifty
families can live under one roof. with
one kitchen, one housekeeper, one laun-
a-'v and one dining room, cheaper and
better than they live in fifty houses,
each with its kitchen, its laundry, its
housekeeper and its dining room. Our
business has sprung from one of minor
Importance into one of the greatest of
the industries. There are twice 5
many hotels in New York to-day as
there were year ago, and they are
being put mp by the dozen, by the
score. by the hundred.

the percentage OF eggs Matched on the

than from those Matched anywhere,

J. P. ALTGELD rs DEAD.
FALLS FROM AN APOPLECTIC
STROKE AFTER SPEECH.
Faints o.. the Stage az the Close of an
Impassioned Address at a Pro-Boer
Meeting, Hsld in Joliet, III.-Expires
Within Few Hours.

Ex-Gov John F. AltgeId Of Illinois
was stricken with apoplexy mt Joliet
Tuesday night. and at o clock Wednes-
day morning four physicians in attend
| ance had given up hope His family and
business associates had at that hour been
summoned. Mr.. Altgeld fingered in an
unconscious state until : O'Clock, when he
passed away.
Mr.. Altgeld went to Joliet from Chi
cago in the afternoon. having been wide
iy advertised as the principal orator for
big pro-Boer meeting. He confessed
that he was not in the best of health
having been troubled with some appar-
emily simple stomach ailment.
He was not willing to allow that to
interfere with his speech. however. his
great interest in the South African strus
gle having been heightened by the an
p~uncement of the Boer success in the
capture of Gen. Methuen. 1t was noted
during the address that tae Ex-Governor
threw an unusual amount of energy and
feeling into his words, and the collapse,
the physicians think, resulted from over
straining his physical powers.
He went through TO the end of his adj
dress without any evidence of weakness.
but suddenly, Just as he stepped to the
wings of the stage. he fell into a dead
faint. The audience that crowded the
hall and had been stirred By his words
was not at once clear as to what had
happened, for the ex-Governcr was not
visible to those in the body of Ii house
when he toppled over into unconscious
ness.
All those who as speakers and commit
teemen and women sat on the stage saw
the fainting man and all rushed to his
rescue. He was picked up, still in an
insensible condition, and borne into one
of the larger dressing rooms, where there
was a lounge.
Doctors were summoned at once to the
bedside of the unconscious man, and Gf-
ter much effort Mr.. Altgeld was brought
back to consciousness. He was then
taken to the Hotel Munroe, where he

Winter Treatment OF san Jose ScaIe.
Winter spraying TO destroy the San
lose scale is most effective. Summer
spraying is usually necessary in addi-
ton. hut the inseetlcide cannot be made
as strong as in the winter season when
there are no buds to injure. There are
several remedies for the scale. but
crude petroleum is the best for use in
winter. and it may be used only slight y
diluted. The work must be thoroughly
done, every branch being touched with
the petroleum, and several applications
made if necessary. If done thoroughly
in winter it is probable that only one or
two light sprayings would be necessary
in the summer.
