The Calladium and It's Lesson.

We have read of "Sermons in
stones,' but we have seldom seen
anything finer than the following from
the California Cultivator:
What teacher Nature is! Her
students find songs and sermons and
lessons on every page of her great
open book. Did you ever get the
lesson suggested by the palladium
that great elephant-eared-like plant 50
common on Our lawns? Just watch
it's development. Each germ Of its
bulb Or tuber sends up single shoot
or stem which soon after leaving the
ground develops into a leaf, though
small and insignificant as compared
with other leaves developed later and
in succession from this first one.
Folded in this leaf-stock born soon
after this first leaf has fully expanded.
This second leaf has an ambition to
be larger and more perfect than its
parent, an ambition that is fully real
lied, if it lives It's 1eaf-stock in turn
furnishes another leaf, larger and bet
ter in every way than its parent, and
thus there is progressive develop
ment until the last leaf is many times
larger and more beautiful in form and
shading than it's original.
Should there not be similar de-
velopment in human life and charac-
ter? Ought not the son and daughter
with the added opportunities that
come to each successive generation
be stronger and greater intellectually,
morally and physically than their par
ents-whether these parents are poor
or rich, low or high, unlearned or
learned, vicious or virtuous, sick or
we'll?
If every boy and girl, in every
home in every land should inn
itate the palladium in growth and de-
velopment, if they should put forth
every effort to be better in every
WY than father and mother, this
old world would soon be verltable
Paradise, with precious little use for
constables or sheriffs, for prisons,
poor-houses or police. Nor would
there be nearly SO much use for law
vers, doctors or even preachers. We
would have to put up with the under
takers all the same Let us be cal
1adium-like-let us be progressive!-

Why Spring Pigs Die.

The cold rains of early spring kill
off many growing pigs because of the
lack of shelter and the care and feed
of the SOW. Professor Henry, of the
Wisconsin Experiment Station, in his
Feeds and Feeding" tells the farm
er how to manage the sows and pigs,
and If his instructions are followed
very little loss will ever occur.
Professor Henry does not agree
with some breeders who hold that no
corn should be fed. He says some
corn may be used, but that meals
rich in protein - oats, peas, mid
dlings, barley-should supply most
of the nourishment.
Feed for the SOW before farrowing
should be nutritious, but not concen-
trated, and roots, chaffed clover or
alfalfa hay, softened with boiling
water, are all highly recommended.
Good flesh is not to be denied un-
der proper conditions and regulations
as to character of feed and amount
of exercise. The question of exer-
else is an important one. In summer
sows as a rule will get all the exer-
else needed by the use of pasture, but
in winter it is often necessary to
drive them about large lot or up
and down lane for a time every
day.
Litter or straw thrown in the yard
through which is scattered waste
grain will stimulate the SOW to exer-
else in searching for feed. but some
means should be used to prevent the
SOW from lying idle and taking on
too much soft flesh.
The feed just before farrowing
time should be sloppy and limited in
quantity, and most breeders agree
that the SOW should be fed nothing
for twenty-four hours after farrow-
ing. For two or three days only a
limited quantity OF feed should be
! given.

Care of Beef Cattle.

At one of the Western Institutes
one of the speakers, whose subject
was the Care of Beef Cattle" among
other things said: "The farmer
should seek to build up the frame
and muscles of the animal in early
life, by exercise, pure air and plenty
of sunlight, with pure water, proper
shelter, and a ration composed large
ly of protein and minerals. AS they
grow older more carbonaceous foods
may be added, so that at maturity
or when finished off they may be fed
wide ration, composed largely of
carbonaceous or fat forming ele-
ments. For best profits in the future
as in the past, the feeder must take
advantage of the early life of the
animal when it is full of vigor and
before the muscles are rigid; this
makes the best beef. Finish them
off rapidly, and when ripe, market.
Profits often come by reason of little
expense in the way of labor, food and
shelter, and in this regard the steer
feeder has an advantage. The grain
fed to a steer is sometimes worth as
much as it costs to fertilize the farm.
Again the groupings should be left
long to insure good fattening grasses,
thus keeping the pastures well
mulched, natures best condition to
maintain fertility. The farmer who
watches both ends of the business
buys well and sells well-has gone a
long way on the highway to success.
With these conditions and considera-
tions future. profits may confidently
be expected. Buy, breed, feed, care
for and selr well, and farmer will
be happy and grow to be broader
man, his purse will be wider as the
years go by, and when he lets go of
his fragment of time he can leave
with no pangs of conscience because
of giving his brother the dyspepsia"

Good Horses In Demand.

The increasing demand for good
horses has awakened fresh interest
among breeders who have good dams.
The Drovers' Journal, in referring TO
the increasing demands in the Chi
cago markets, says survey OF the
horse conditions presents an inviting
field for intelligent breeders. De-
mand for all classes of horses for in
dustrial and commercial use was
never so broad or prices so remuner-
ative. The fact that farmers have
been slow to grasp the situation finds
the supply hardly adequate to meet
the increasing demand. The outlook
justiies continued high prices until
the surplus assumes proportions to
resume expectation of horses in large
volume again. The supply can only
be increased by enlarging breeding
operations, which under the most
favorable regime, will require half q
decade to produce Il reasonably large
surplus. The fact that the supply OF
horses Is short should not lead tc
haphazard breeding. Profits in the
horse industry will depend on the
quality of the horses produced. The
best mares should be selected for the
harem and the choicest stations OF
all breeds of horses patronized The
stream cannot rise above the foun,
tain, and the progeny of sire and
dam will inherit the characteristics
of their ancestors. The opportunity
for large profits in the horse indus
try was never more promising to the
careful breeder that will produce
good commercial offerings of al;
classes.

Letters Sent by Skyrockets.

An ingenious method is employed
to deliver letters to the islands of the
Tonga group, in the Pacific ocean.
These islands, guarded as they are
by dangerous rocks and breakers, are
hazardous to approach, and would
often, if the ordinary routine of de-
livery were employed, have to go let
terless. To overcome this difficulty
the steamer which carries the mails
is supplied with skyrockets, by
means of which letters are projected
across the danger zone to the shore.

Grinding Corn For Hogs.

Among recent reports received by
the Department of Agriculture from
the experiment stations is one from
the Wisconsin Experiment Station.
For the past nine years the station
has been conducting tests to deter
mine whether grinding corn for hogs
is desirable.
The results have varied a little
from year to year, but considering
the average of all the tests III hogs
fed dry shelled corn and wheat mid
dlings make an average gain of 96.S
pounds each, while an equal number
fed cornmeai and wheat middlings
gained 11.09 pounds each. the feed
required per pound of gain in the
two cases being 5.19 pounds and ASS

poand or gain the hogs fed sheled
corn required 0.3 pound more gain
than those fed the cornmeal. The
saving from grinding, therefore, has
amounted to 81 per cent. For in

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW |
BUNS WEEKLY SUMMARY
Merchants and Manufacturers Are
Busy and Collections Are
Reported Good.

Il. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says:
It Is still noteworthy that there Is
practically none of the customary
complaint of midsummer dullness In
commercial or industrial channels. On
the contrary, reports from many
cities announce that all the back
wardness of the early season in light
weight fabrics has been made up and
the liberal distribution of merchan-
disc Is accompanied by steady I'M
provoment In mercantile collections.
Preparations for fall and winter pro
ceed with evident confidence, and
lines that usually report frequent
cancellations at this season are hold
ing their business nearly intact. The
only menace to more new records or

tiun to ore movement by the strike
that has reduced shipments about
1000, 900 tons in three weeks,
specifications at the steel mills
are large, producers being still unable
to make deliveries as promptly as
desired, but there Is seasonable de
crease IN the volume Of new business
which relieves the pressure some

ward more promptly.
An undercurrent Of increased In.
terest Is felt in the primary markets
for cotton goods, and there Is more
evidence that prices will be main
tanned, while further advances are
contemplated In some lines.
Footwear factories have received
fairly liberal orders for case goods,
but the volume of new business thus
far has not equalled anticlpations.
Little Improvement Is noted in the
demand for leather, but prices are
sustained by the curtailment of pro
duction, which has prevented accumu-
lation and tanners are confident that
shoe shops cannot defer action much
longer.

Close observation of the quality of
the butter made from feeding cows
ration consisting of cottonseed meal
and corn silage showed that, contrary
to general belief. the butter possessed
a good grain and body and was in all
respects entirely satisfactory where
the churning conditions were normal,
says a South Carolina experiment sta
tion report. IL may be added, says
the National Provisioner, that our
experience during the past two years
convinces us that, during the warm
season butter produced from ration
containing cottonseed meal is more
satisfactory than that produced from
concentrates that yield a relatively
soft butterfat. The cottonseed meal

edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
but notlcast, brings to the home the vast
and varied experience of Dr.. Hartman,
intheuseo ofcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment Of catarrhal diseases.
Tho fact Is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one Of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or come other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
Is the remedy. This doctor has triedto
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on. large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. Els idea is
that this remedy can besupplied direct

HAT.RAIslNG CONDEMNED.
Austrian Proposes the Military Salute
as a Substitute.

Count Johann Harrach, one OF the
greatest mobiles in Austria, Is heading
a movement to abolish hatraising as
q form Of salutation and TO sub5ti-
tute the military salute. The sup
porters of the movement declare that
this exposure Of the head induces
colds, influenza and other ailments.
and even badness. 1t might also be
eddcd that It causes hats TO become
worn out much more rapidly than
they would otherwise be.
Austrian etiquette requires a man
to raise his hat 60 all his acquaint
anccs, male and female alike, as
well as to his social interiors such as
cabmcn and servants. Hence any
body with tolerably large bowing
acquaintance Is continually lifting his
hat as he goes along the streets
Count Harrach says this may be all
very well in moderate cline, but
in the cold winters and broiling sum
mers of Vienna, it is not at all
healthy practice. And so the count,
despite the fact that he is nearly 30
years of age, Is heading a crusade
against this time-honored custom. He
proposes instead, the military salute
of merely raising the hand to the
head, and he thinks chat among a
people so familiar with military
forms ana usages as the hustrians
are. such an innovation ought not to
be difficult

and give free play to his creative
fancies. Every stroke upon the key
is registered in regular musical char
acters upon a proper scroll wound
upon a drum. The machine operates
through a system of electric contacts
with the piano keys. The registering
apparatus, which resembles an ordin.
ary typewriter in size, may, in order
to remove discordant sounds, be
placed at a distance from the piano,
even in an adjoining room.
