Value Of Parks.

Few cities have been more gener-
Gus in park expenditure than New
York, Chicago and Boston.
Central Park, N. Y, acquired in
1855, cost in round numbers So
100000 for acquisition; 100000
600 for construction, $6,500,000
for maintenance and in interest on
bonds for twenty-five years $751;
100000, or about $44,000,000.
Those who remember park con
ditions in New York prior to 1882,
when the shameful mismanage-
ment of this public trust brought
about a reorganization, will recog-
nize that much of this money was
squandered. The new commission
reported the expenditure already
named, but valued the property as
an asset of the city at 5000, 900, 900
The increase of taxes in the three
wards contiguous to the park in
excess of the proportionate in.
crease in all other wards was $685..
000,0 900. The city had acquired q
park and from the more rapidly in
creasing values of the three con.
tiguous wards had in these twenty
five years gathered in taxes $2l,
100000 more than the entire out
put had cost. The city owned the
park and her citizens near it the
increased value OF their property
paying for the parks in the mean
time.
AS applying to Chicago the i'm
mediate effect of parks was tt
double and quadruple land values
Referring to the report of thu
Boston commissioner for the yea
1896 the land around the the Bacl
Bay Park had trebled in value il
thirteen years, while the increas,
in the value of other lands in tn,
same time was only Is per cent.

Rice Crop.

A preliminary report to the De-
partment Of Agriculture shows the
total acreage of rice in the United
States this season to be about CAB, :
400 acres, distributed as follows !;
North Carolina, 1900; South Car
DINA, 33, 300; Georgia. 5000;
Louisiana, 365,100; and Texas
234, 200 acres. The rice acreage
of the country has increased SO
per cent within the last five years
and is now four times as large as
it was fifteen years ago. In 1893
Louisiana and Texas contained
500 per cent of the total rice
acreage of the country. Now these
States contain 9S.1 per cent of the
greatly increased total.

The Lawyers Idea of Fun.

"I-I've bought a farm about
ten miles out of town" said the
man with the black eye, as ne
entered a lawyers office.
'EXactly-exactly. You've
bought a farm, and you've discov-
cred that one of the line fences
takes in four or five feet of your
land. You attempted to discuss
the matter with the farmer, and he
resorted to arms"
eyes"
"Well, don't worry. You can
first sue him for assault. Then
for battery. Then for personal
damages. Then we'll take up the
matter of the fence and | promise
you that even if we don't beat him
we can keep the case in
court for at least twenty five years.
Meanwhile, hell probably ham
string your cows, poison your
calves and set fire to your barn and
J you can begin new suit almost
every week. My dear man, you've
got what they call pudding, and
YOU can have finn from now IN tn
the day you die of old age."-

Dairy Pointers.

Never breed a "kicky" COW.
Your herd needs COWS, not mules.
Never put a fine cow in the care
of poor mixer.
Scrub cows, on scrub farms, fed
on scrub rations, cared for by
scrub persons, produce nondescript
milk and butter that is hardly good
enough for axle grease.
Soured milk affects the cream
injuriously.
The cows should he thoroughly
acquainted with the mixers.
Dry salt cannot be worked into
dry butter successfully.
Slow milking frets the cow.
Hasten the performance as much
as possible.
Fresh cream and ripened cream
mixed will always result in dubi-
Gus butter.
Butter will not keep well if over
worked so that is natural grain is
destroyed.
Dirt in milk makes more unde
sirable butter than all the wrong
methods of working. No perfec-
ton Of working out buttermilk and
working IN sait can secure the
proper favor OF butter from dirty
milk
The manure-c0ated COW is a
proof that her owner is in the
wrong business.

The New sesdlsss Apple.

The new seedless apple developed
by John F. Spencer, of Grand
Junction, Colo, bids fair to have a
more revolutionary effect upon the
apple growing interests of the
country than even the seedless
orange upon the orangn interests.
The development of this new
apple is the most important thing
that has taken place in the fruit
growing world for many years. and
when it is known that seedless APP
pie nurseries have been established
in Utah, Idaho, California, Missou-
RI, Michigan, New York, New
jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania
and Canada. in addition to the
home nursery at Grand Junction,
Colorado, all within a few weeks,
the rapIdity with which the new
apple is being taken up can be APP
preciated,}
The new apple has many features
that ma es it of special advantage,
in addition to the seedless nature.
The trees also are blossomless
and this makes the trees undam-
ageable in cold weather. Late
frosts leave the seedless apples
still bearing, although the ordina-
ry apple trees, growing along side
them, may be barren. The tree
has q hard smooth bark and is moi
nearly so likely to be injured by
INSECTS as the ordinary trees,--H

BRYAN TELLS WHY
All Who Supported the Ticket in
$50 and 1900 Should VO Q for
Parker.

VIM. Jennings Bryan, in letter
to Chairman CARRIER, of the Ohio
Democratic State Committee, de-
cliping to visit Ohio during the
present campaign, says:
"While Judge Parker announces
himself as unqualifedly in favor of
the gold standard, he is no more
Objectionable upon this question
than President Roosevelt, and he
does stand for many things in
which the silver Democrats are in
terested.
"The election of Parker and
Davis would remove from the arena
of politics the questions which
stand in the way of consideration
of economic questions, and for this
reason / believe that every Demo
crat who supported the ticket in
1895 and 1900 should interest him
self in the success of the ticket this
year. 1t is also important to Sc.
cure Congress, for without The
House of Representatives the Pres.
idcnt could not carry out his poll
cies."

The Maine Republican Campaign

The State Republican Convention
of Maine adopted strong prohibit
nj uior plank in It's platform, and nom
tinatei Hon. VIM. L. Cobb, life
long abstainer and prohibitionist,
for Governor.
Mr.. COBB delivered a speech
August A, eminently satisfactory to
temperance people, and is as fol-
lows:
"The Republican party of Maine
believes in the enforcement of the
liquor law as it stands on our stat
ute books today. However much
men may differ as to the wisdom Of
the law itself, there can be no diff
terence of opinion as TO the need
and propriety Of enforcing it so
long as it is a part of our statutes;
the law is there; the people placed
it there, and l believe they are en-
TITLED to and should receive prac-
tical demonstration that it can be
enforced honestly and fairly in
khe state of Maine. Nothing short
81 such practical demonstration will
satisfy them, and unless l mistake
their temper, they will not tolerate
the Democratic movement for re-
submission until they are better
convinced than today that practi'
cal enforcement is an impossibility
The sale of liquor under the present
law may not be stopped absolutely
any more than laws directed against
other crimes prevent their occa
sional commission, but if this par
ticular law is enforced as we'll anc
as successfully as are the laws per
tanning to other crimes and misde
meanors, such enforcement is sure
to satisfy the reasonable and fair
minded people Of the State wh'

81 do not intend at this time tx
discuss the prohibition question il
detail, The plank concerning it,
the platform adopted at Bango
speaks for itself, and as NOMINEE
of the party | am standing on tina
platform. If the platform mean
nothing, now is as good time a
any to find it out. 1t seems to me
./too, that every man who casts hi
vote for the Republican state ticket
must mean. that he wants to see tn
prohibitory law enforced. II W

Poultry Notes.

A man with experience in poult-
ry raising can make success of
it with very little capital.
Oats soaked twenty-four hours
make fine feed for fowls, old and
young. These mixed with bran
and shorts make an ideal feed.
There is an opinion that the
reason English fowls are larger
boned and framed than American
fowls is because corn enters very
slightly into their rations, and
they are fed oats and other foods.
rich in bone making qualities.
Grit, in some form, should be be-
fore the chickens all the time. Ii
is their teeth. Some advocate
breaking old crockery into suitable
pieces, it furnishes lime for egg
shells.
Poultry scientifically fed should
be given different food for what
ever object they are fed. Fryers
should have fat-producing food
Too much fat retards egg-produc.
ing. Rye, wheat and oats produce
eggs. Corn produces fat. Rye
and oats are much improved by
cooking or soaking.

An Estimate of Judge Parker.

A special writer attached to the
staff of the New York Times gave
his paper rather complete sketch
of Judge Parker, the Democratic
candidate. In his estimate Of the
man, this writer says:
at is a little unfortunate that
he was so little known to his
countrymen before his nomination;
it is hard to teach a fair judg-
ment in the height of a political
campaign, where every word and
action is distorted. If he is elect
ed the people will have ample time
to learn that he is a man of strong
and powerful character one whose
ideals are so high that even among
Presidents he has not much com
pany, and who sticks to these ideals
with the obstinacy that nature
planted in him when she gave him
his red hair and his big laugh /;
one who is as far as possible re-
moved from the human iceberg
type, who is a warm hearted man,
a fine fighter, and very hearty,
human, wholesome, typical Ameri-
can gentleman.
Referring to the Judges love for
his life's work, the Times writer
says:
The day he resigned from the
bench of the Court of Appeals was
the saddest day of his life since
the death of his boy. He was
giving up his life work, his career,
and though he kept himself per
fectly in control his regret was
evident. To the men who accom-
panied him from Esopus to Albany
that day new light was shed OF
the famous gold standard telegram
1t was evident to them that her,
was a man who actually would MOI
have cared if nomination fol
President had been taken away
from him after he had it within
his grasp; his loved judicial woll
would have repaid him. And il
their minds it is question whethe
he would not, after all, prefer t.
remain in the humber station ant
whether he is not sacrificing tn
chief pleasure of his life from
sense of public duty.
1T is absolutely the belief o
those who know him best that b
now seeks the Presidency entirel.
because of his desire to restore tn
Government to the old Constitu
tional boundaries from which i
has escaped in consequence of tn
encroachment of the three branche
of the Government upon eac
other.

and hence it was hard for hiI
to make his announcement that h
would not be candidate for
second term"
