Suffering From Gold.

Topeka, Feb. 1s.-The cold weather
famine much more serious. The efforts
put forth by the legislature has not
resulted in any relief and some of the
western counties had not enough coal
to last "a hours In few cases the
supply was even less, and there is
great suffering among the poorer class.
The charge is still made that confisca-
ton by railroads is responsible. Even
in the districts where coal is mined 1T
is hard to procure it.

About five or six years ago my

her right arm, the result of sprain.
They grew rapidly, and our physi-

WHY SHOULD NOT

Why Religion and Civil Affairs Should Be
Jointly Considered. The Hereafter Dc.

II it can be shown that religion is one
thing and the civil life which man
lives in society is another, and that the
| two things have nothing whatever in
common, and that it is consequently of
no Importance to the pastor whether. on
the one hand, the laws of the land be
based upon and patterned after the Ten
Commandments, and administers Justly
and impartally for all, or whether, on
the other hand, they be framed by self
seeking men and executed in the interest
OF favored few, then-if this be true
it might he conceded that the pastor
would do well to avoi |, not only taking
any active part in, but even thinking
about politics.
But is it fact that religion and the
civil life are WHOLLY separate and umre.
lated things? Are they not, instead
like the substance and form OF a temple
or tree? And is not the civil life the
form OF which religion is the substance
And an speaking OF the civil life we not
only approach but enter within the
sphere of politics, one definition of which,
according to the Century Dictionary is :
"The theory and practice of ob,ainii g
the end. OF civil society as perfectly as
possible" And would not evil society
n state Of perfection b. the ultima 9
embodiment of the kingdom of God on
earth? And is it not this kingdom for
whose coming we petition in the Lords
Prayer? Therefore,. it not emphatically
the duty of ever pastor who sincerely
pleads: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will
be done as in Heaven, so also upon the
EARTH" to work as well as pray for the
ultimate establishment of this kingdom
among men? l., other words, should he
not do all that he IN in helping to &c,

birds in the Orchard.

The important work of destroying
insects in the orchard, carried on by
birds, is not fully appreciated. Mr..
f.. III. Forbes, in his bulletin, pub
lished by the Massachusetts board or
agriculture, condenses an amount OF
valuable information on this subject.
He shows very plainly that birds do
very useful work in destroying the
eggs of many kinds of insects, ana
that the whole army of dangerous
pests, like canker-wotm, bark scale,
lice and tent caterpillars are held III
check by our common song birds.
Winter birds feed upon eggs of in
sects. a fact which observation readily
proves. The birds are always busy
pecking trunks and branches OF trees
barren of leaves or fruit. Woodpeck-
ers are bird watchmen. When they
begin on a tree it is time TO examine
the bark and remove the cause of them
pecking. There will be borers and
other deadly tree enemies found IN
the bark.
Summer birds feed on the Larvae and
on the insects themselves. They rec
tify much of the trouble that arises
from curculio, the pest of the plum.
Nesting birds should not be disturbed
in the orchard. Hatched and reared
there the birds will remain. The harm
birds do to fruit is overestimated. As
a rule they are attracted by imper-
feet plums, apples and peaches, and
examination will show the presence OF
some insect in the fruit
The English sparrow is an eXcep-
ton. 1t is a destructive bird in more
senses than one. It's worst work is in
driving away our song birds, the in
sect-destroying friends of the orchard
list. They feed largely upon seeds of
all kinds. They strip plants and
trees of seeds, and are perfect pirates
in finding and devouring seeds fresh
ly sown in the soil English sparrows
ought TO be shared and otherwise de-
stroyed. They are bird nuisances.
Prof. Beal, assistant ornithologist of
the department of agriculture, some
years ago published a statement re-
garding the woodpecker which re-
moved much prejudice from them.
He examined the stomachs of 679
woodpeckers, the downy, the red
headed and the red-bellied. Three
quarters of their food was found to
be beetles, caterpillars and ants.
Some corn and grain were also shown,
but secondary, and mixed with wild
berries and forest grass seeds. Alto
gether the seven species of wood
peckers do more good than harm.
The prejudice Prof. Beal endeavored
to remove arises from the opinion
that they feed on the sap Of the inner
bark Of the apple trees.

Questions and answers.

O. Are there any definite rules by
which different fruits are Judged at
exhibits as to quality, size, or are
they simply judged by the looks, that
is, different varieties in competition
with each other?
a. Usually at fairs and common
exhibits they are awarded premiums
according TO their comparison with
others at same exhibit, with no guide
but outward appearance; but where
they are brought to a standard of
points, the following scale is used by
the American Pathological society,
and nearly all subordinates, 100 points
being perfect:
APPLES.
Form Is, size II, color 20, uniform
ity 20, quality Is, freedom from blem-
ishes %; total 100.
PEARS.
Form Is, size 10, color IS. uniform
ity 20, quality %, freedom from blem-
ishes %; total 100.
PEACHES.
Form Is, size 10, color Is, uniform
ity 20, quality 20, freedom from blem-
ishes 20; total 100.
PLUMS.
Form 10, size Is, color IS, uniform
ity 20, quality %, freedom from blem-
ishes %; total 100.
GRAPES.
Flavor 80, form of bunch 10, size of
bunch Is, size of berry Is, color 10,
firmness 5, bloom 5, freedom from
blemishes 10; total 100.
A rule used largely by eastern
Judges is the one established by the
Massachusetts state board of agricul-
ture and applies well to all fruits, and
eastern exhibits are judged by the
rule:
Quality %, form Is, color Is, size 10,
uniformity 20, freedom from imperfec-
tons %; total 100.
Personally we would put more stress
on quality, but give rules usually used.
Q. Will the planting of vines be as
heavy as last year?
A. The planting in the grape belt
proper will be about 20 per cent of
last year, but the adjoining towns will
use enough more TO nearly reach last
seasons setting, which was the heavi-
est ever known.
