Free Seed Distribution.

The annual protest Of seed men
against free distribution of seed by the
Department of Agriculture has been
sent to the President. 1t is signed by
Twenty-Five seedsmen, embracing the
whole territory between the Rocky
Mountains and the New England coast.
The protest states that the original IN
tention of the law was to obtain seeds
unknown In the United States that
might prove valuable, and In this way
increase our agricultural productions,
but that this statesmanlike proposition
has been grievously distorted, with the
result that in the main the most COM
mon kinds of garden seeds have been
distributed.
No doubt a great abuse has crept
into this matter of free seed patron
age. 1t has been used by a great many
INSCRIPTIONS politicians to make them
selves solid with certain voters. Like
all other public questions, there are
two sides. The distribution of sugar
beet seed grown on the Pacific coast
for experiment all over the country Is
good feature that will offset some OF
the undesirable ones. Not all the seeds
distributed are common garden truck

Amount of Corn Required.

1t Is well enough to lay down the
rule that ten pounds Of corn will make
one pound of pork, but rules may not
give the results expected unless APP
piled under certain conditions. Some
breeds of hogs will produce more pork
on the same food than others, and
even with a selected breed there will
be some individual animals that will
increase more rapidly than others. In
the winter season, If the hogs are ex-
posed, twenty or thirty pounds Of corn
may be required to make a pound Of
pork. Care and management are i'm
portant, as we'll as breed and food.

Production of Mutton.

An excellent authority on sheep
growing says: 1.-THE environment that
conduces to the production of the most
rapid-growing mutton is not the one to
produce fine wool, and the greatest per-
lection can be attained in either wool
or mutton, as in anything else, only by
the single eye. Let no one with the
best types of male and female in both
wool and mutton breeds have any mis-
giving with regard to where he is 60
ing to stand. Crossing is a transitional
state that must evolve into a fitting
survival of types Of distinct attributes
and special qualities to suit particular
circumstances and environment"

Ahusen of Cold Storage.

Cold storage has apparently been
overworked. At first the principle Of
cold storage was used to carry perish
able foodstuffs over the period of plen-
ty and distribute them through the fol-
lowing months of famine. But accord
ing to investigations of Boards of
Health in some of the larger cities,
cola storage plants contain food that
has lain there from six months to two
years because market conditions have
not suited the spectators, and they are
holding for greater profits. The result
is that consumers are likely to eat
some very old stuff that may not be
conducive to good health, and that
farmers and other producers are like
ly to suffer unfair competition when
offering new wholesome products.

wedding that is still remembered was that of Miss
Nellie Grant in 1874 Her gown Of white satin was
made with long, tght-fttng bodice, having a vest of

mass of material from which hung the rather scant
train deep rule of lace trimmed the bottom of the
skirt Her hair dressed high, with a deep fringe

When Miss Frances Folsom became the bride Of Pres
ident Cleveland in 1856 her gown of rich white satin
was in the height of fashion The long, perfectly fitting
bodice lavishly trimmed with point lace and fin
ished about the bottom with narrow folds Of the
teral These formed broad band, which further
decorated by garland of delicate pink At the
back folds of the satin fell from the high hustle
to form a long train The veil, fastened with orange
blossoms long enough in the back almost cover

StarchinE Laces.

To starch nice laces first squeeze
them through soapsuds and rinse. Add
bluing to the starch If you wish them
white, or a few teaspoonfuls of clear
coffee II you wish them yellow.
Squeeze out Of the starch and roll up
in towels. Pull! gently Into shape ey-
cry little while with the fingers and
pin on the ironing table. Press be-
tween tissue paper with hot iron
after 1t is dry, punch the openings
with a stiletto and pick out the edge
loops with a pin, when it can be made
to look like new lace. This plan will
succeed with applique or any of the
non-silk laces which do not take to
washing readily.

or four-inch stovepipe. Then buy addi-
tional lengths of pipe and make the
connections yourself, having an elbow
to go into the box.
Make the smoke fire in the boiler,
the smoke will pass into the box. and,
on a small scale, one will have a first
class smokehouse. At little heat Is re-
quired to keep up the fire sufficient to
give the desired amount Of smoke,
there is no danger of the wash boiler
being too frail for the purpose. The

Feeding COttOnseed Meal.

Many mistakes are made in the feed
ing of cottonseed meal, feeders forget
ting for the moment that it is an ex-
tremely concentrated food and needs q
pretty strong stomach to handle 1t;
hence 1t should be fed sparingly to
young stock. AS food by itself 1t
will not do for any considerable period,
but as one Of mixture it has great
value even at price as high as $35 q
ton, provided the other grains used are
not too high in price. A fine mixture
is corn meal, the grinding Of the corn
and the cob together and the cotton
seed-meal. Or, bran may be used when
the corn is ground without the cob but
in the latter case the ratio should be
two parts of the cottonseed meal to
one part each Of the corn meal and the
wheat bran.

material and well-made clothes in
shape; poor ones will not respond even
to good care.
All clthes keep in shape better If
properly folded and padded. In put
ting away waists the sleeves and bod
ice should be stuffed" with crumpled
tissue paper, and the sleeves crossed
over the bodice and the wrist part
turned back. Skirts should be laid
fat on a table, with middle of front
and middle of back folded, and then
folded back and forth (fanlike), and
then folded once from top to bottom,
if necessary; but it is much better If
skirts can be put away full length.
Never turn a skirt inside out to fold.
This may be all right when hung.

Picked Posts.

Preservation of wood is becoming
more general every year. says the Kan
sas City Journal. They are even ex-
tending this picking business to fence
posts and telegraph and telephone
poles. 1t works out well in both Of
these. In the picking of ties, the rail-
roads are using a great many Of the
softer woods, those which ordinarily
wouldn't last more than two or three
years. By the treatment Of chemicals,
though, their life is extended to at least
ten years. The movement first had its
origin about 1880, when attention was
called by the government that there
was becoming a scarcity of timber In
various sections Of the country.

Good SmOkehouse.

The thrifty farmer prepares his own
pork for home consumption, and II he
is short of cash with which to build an
smokehouse he will appre-
ciate the following plan, which will
enable him to carry out his ideas at
small cost. Buy an old but good up
right piano box, and after making 1t
smoke tight with paper, set 1t in the
desired place and dig trench SO that
the piping will enter at one end Of the
box through the bottom. Then take an
old wash boiler with good copper
bottom and have a tnsmith make
hole in one side near the bottom, and

Cost of Putting Up silage.

The question is often discussed as to
the cost of putting up silage, says
Michigan Farmer. From large num-
Der of records kept among Illinois
farmers it was found to cost about SO
cents per ton. In some cases the cost
was as much as 76 cents per ton, while
in others as low as 35. In filling a
Michigan silo this season where the
horn was heavy and had to DO hauled
about 100 rods to the silo 1t cost 81
cents per ton. The cost should vary
with the distance the silage is to be
hauled. If silage Is to be put up eco
nomically an ensilage cutter should be
used that will take the corn and handle
IL RAPIDLY.

Let the Children Play.

It is too often true of the unhappy children who are forced to rise too ear ly in their classes that they are con- ceited all the forenoon of life and stu pid all it's afternoon. The vigor and freshness which should have been stor- ed up for the purposes of the hard struggle for existence in practical life have been washed out of them by pre- cocous mental debauchery-by glut- tony and lesson bibbing. Their facul- ties are worn out by the strain put upon their callow brains, and they are demoraliZed by worthless childish tri- umphs before the real work of life be- gins. I have no compassion for sloth. but youth has more need for intellectu- al rest than age. and the cheerfulness. the tenacity of purpose, the power of work. which make many a successful man what he is. must often be placed to the credit not of his hours of indus try, but to that of his hours of idleness in boyhood-Huxley.

An Elder Brother.

In a case in the orphans court of an eastern city one of the principal wit nesses was asked if he had any broth CTS or sisters.

 What? A hundred and fifty years ago?' echoed the judge, with an i'm piled rebuke for a possible jest.
 Yes. am telling you the truth. My father was married at nineteen years of age. Within the year son was born to him, who shortly afterward died. Becoming widower before he was thirty, my father married again at the age of seventy-five. l was born next year. I am at present ninety-four years old If you will make the neces- sary calculation by adding my age, ninety four, to the number fiftysiX. which is the difference between seven ty-fve and nineteen, the ages of my father at the time of his respective marriages, the result will be exactly 15O. So it is just century and half since my brother died"
