Apples contain only seventeen per
cent of solid matter, and of this one
half is sugar. There is very little real
nutriment in apples, but what there is
is heaIthful and wholly free from oh
lection in any way. They have a dis
tfnct tendency to increase the milk,
and without Iessening its value in any
way; this is probably on account OF
their effect in aiding the digestion Of
other food The crushed pulp of ap-
ples-the pomace of cider mills-is
very agreeable to cows. and as it may
be kept in good condition. packed in
barrels as soon as it Is taken from
the press, it Is worth while to save it..
This kind of feed, too, helps other
feeding by making a pleasant variety.

Whatever else may be neglected, the
teaching of a boy to work should not
be overlooked AS parents we are
prone to be leaders and to do the chief
and less Iaborious parts of the work
and let the boys do minor things.
This is a mistake. Set the boys to
work at every thing after having some
instructions, and never scold because
1t is not we'll done. The parent should
recall his own first attempts.

According to recent bulletin of the
Agricultural Department, the United
States is the richest country on the
globe, and the farmer the richest of all
classes of citizens. The bulletin esti-
mates the total value of the farmers
crops at 5000, 100000 as against a to-
tai of $3,073,O00,000 in 1902 and 81
845, 100000 in 1901 This years enor-
nous total is made up as follows:
Corn, $685. 100000; wheat, S551, 100000;
cotton, 5000, 100000; hay, $55O,OOO,0O0;
potatoes, $15S.000,O00; oats, rye, bar
ley, tobacco, buckwheat, vegetables,
fruits and other agricultural products,
$356, 100000. Though the wheat crop
is short the price is higher and the
value of the crop this year is $10S,-

The German salad potatoes are at
tracing some attention in this coun-
try. having been grown in an expert
mental way at the Rhode Island sta
ton and elsewhere. They are i'm
ported to some extent. and may be
found in the large cities in response
TO an increasing demand. These pota-
toes are of very small size and of a
pleasant. nutty flavor, quite different
from most of the larger kinds. They
are in considerable demand for a lin
tied class of trade. and may yet be-
come a somewhat important crop. If
their size could be increased, they
would, no doubt, become very popular
as a high grade of table potato.

Interest.

IL has not been so very long
ago that, with a beating Of drums
and a blare Of trumpets, a cele-
bration was held TO mark the ex-
tinction of a state debt. No Re
publican was permitted to take
part in the demonstration. His
recognition for the part he had
borne in the burdens of the state
was the torture Of listening to
the speeches of men who had
done so much to bring about the
desired, as the former Lieut..
Gov. John A. Lee, State Senator
John p. Collins and others. The
question arises, is the state out
of debt? One of the appropria-
tion bills passed at the recent
session of the general assembly,
and which the governor has sign
ed, carries $500, ,503.93, the en-
tire sum to meet interest alone.
There are seven sections in the
bill, and each one of six of them
makes an appropriation. The
seventh is the emergency clause
in the bill. Here are these ap-
preparations:
Sec. 1. The sum Of $349, ,O6O
for the payment of interest on
Missouri 6 per cent consolidated
certificates Of Indebtedness of 81

who Is The Employer?

A brief communication from
Mr.. Goldwin Smith, published in
the Sun on Sunday last, draws
attention to a fact which should
be impressed on the mind of ey-
cry American citizen. It is that
in this country the producers
are also the consumers. When,
by strikes or by other processes
they increase the price Of pro-
ducts, they also increase their
own cost Of living.
Mr., Goodwin Smith illustrates
this by declaring that the con
sumer is the real employer. In
the United States the consumers
are the wage earners, always
the great majority of our people.
1t is they who eat the products
of the farm. who wear the clothes
and utilize the many devices pro.
duced in shops, mills and factor
les, who live in the houses erect
ed by the labor of their own
class. The capitalist, that is,
the so-called employer, is an in
termediary who takes his com
mission for his services. The
public pays, and the price it pays
is fixed by its own attitude to-
ward the various products.
II the farmer must pay high
er price for his plow or his boots,
he must charge more for his
grain and potatoes. If the cot
ton mill operator or the coal min
er, causes a strike in an iron
foundry or a brickyard, he must
pay higher price for his house
rent or his stove or his frying
pan, he must find some way TO
get more for his services from
the public by way Of the so-caned
employer.
This will and must remain true
as fundamental principle OF
lprices and in cost Of living, 40
long as the people Of the United
States are both producers and
consumers Of e5 per cent Of the
merchandise required for their
use and maintenance. Compar-
cd with our domestic trade, our
foreign commerce j. an item Of
little significance The people Of
this country live largely upon
their own labor. They exchange
their labor among themselves,
and the so,called employer is
practically no more than an
agent in tho transaction. The
public itself pays an increase in
the income Of any part Of that
public, and the benehciaries Of a
local increase must, sooner or
later, be called upon 10 contri-
butte their share Of the increase
enforced In other localities by
their own act.
Incomes and cost of living
move in conjunction, and the
better paid public must pay more
for its living with no real gain by
the process.
The condition most 10 be de.
sired for all. is steady employ,
ment at fair wages. New York

The Tonic Use of Water.

Cold water is the universal tonic.
The best time for taking cold bath
for tonic effect is just after getting
cut of bed in the morning, when the
body is warm. A cold bath should
never be taken when one is chilled.
One not accustomed to cold bathing
should begin carefully with water not
colder than Is deg. F. The bath should
be short, not to exceed minute, and
for feeble persons not more than fif-
teen or thirty seconds when applied
to the whole surface. The bath
should be Immediately followed by
rubbing and exercise for fifteen to
thirty minutes. There should always
be good reaction; that is. the whole
surface, including the hands and feet,
should quickly become warm. The
Lath should not be followed by Ian
g'1or headache, lassitude or other in
dicatiOns of excessive reaction. When
one experiences such symptoms. the
indication is that the bath was too
long or too cold or not followed by
sufficient exercise. For feeble. very
young or elderly persons the water
used should rarely be lower than 65
degrees to rs degrees in winter. The
bath should be taken in a suitably
warmed room.

GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC cHickAMAUGA PARK
ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION.
United States System Of Lighting Mill
tary Post Pronounced GratifyingIy
Successfui---six and one-Haif Miles
Of Malns-Sixty.Five Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ca, May 3D.
The United States government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants In the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance Of the histor-
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were, lost in the memorable
Battle Of Sept. 10 and 20, 1863. contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-five principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-five street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues of the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant so evident that the
government, March 20, 1904, placed
ihe contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con-
fined its acceptance of acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed a number Of
plants in Indian schools and other gov
arpmapt institutions
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as we'll as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact
of water and carbide, "a manufactured
product for sale at a nominal price,,
is absolutely safe and gives a beau
tiful white light soothing to the eyes
and nerves. 1t can be produced any
wherein the farm home, the village
store, the town hall, the church-and
is so easily maintained as to
be practical for all classes.
It is matter for national congratu.
lation that in identifying so historic
spot as Chickamauga, nothing but
the best, including the lighting sys-
tenn, has been deemed good enough

SIaunhter of the Innocen ts.

A study of statistics reveals the ter
rible fact that nearly one-half of all
the human beings born into the world
die before the age Of five years. In
the city of Stetten. Germany, nearly
one-half-473 out OF every thousand
die during the first year of their lives
In Ireland, Scotland, Norway and Swe-
den, where children are given better
care, have more outdoor life and
more intelligent attention is given to
feeding, the number of deaths is only
one-fftieth as many as in the city
of Stetten, being ten per cent.
Physicians are coming to recognize
that the use of cows milk, which is
infected with the germs of tubercu-
losis, is one of the most active of
all the causes of death among young
