Statistics collected by the Arneri-
can Journal of Education show that
the United States is one of the most
illiterate Of civilized nations, the
ratio being 107 per thousand.
One person in every nine of ten
years and older is illiterate. But see
how this compares with England,
Scotland or Holland, where only one
person in forty is i11iterate. In
Switzerland one person in 1865 can
not write, in Denmark one in 500,
in Sweden and Norway one in 1880,
and in Germany illiteracy is virtually
unknown.
Of course the South is in the worst
condition, and Louisiana is about on
a level with Timbuctoo.

A very amusing incident occurred
in Little Rock, Ark, as a sequel to
the recent Democratic primaries. A
Little Rock attorney whom Jeff Da-
Wis had villihed in the canvass gave
the senator severe beating with the
senator's own go1d-headed cane. We
presume that the attorney intended
to give Jeff a hint that he had better
be attending to his duties in Wash
ington instead of trying to run Ar
kansas. At all events the incident
was very amusing.

New Jersey has inaugurated meas

by passing the "Burpo bill"
The Burpo bill makes it high
misdemeanor for any person to ad-
vocate by speech, writing, printing
or any other means the unlawful
burning or destruction of public or
private property or to advocate or
encourage assaults upon the army Of
the United States, the National
Guard or the police of any State or
municipality or the killing or injur-

or of any individual.

TO Launder Muslin Dresses.

It is quite problem to know just
how to do up lawn and muslin dresses
SO they will not be too stiff. The fol-
lowing rule is an excellent one: Dis
solve a tablespoonful of gum arabic in
about three quarts Of water and use
this liquid in place of starch. After
the articles are dried, sprinkle and
iron as usual. The gum arabic will
not stick to the iron and gives the
goods the stiffness and look of new
material. Once tried you will never
use starch for delicate fabrics.

It would seem that the Burpo bill
would be as effective against lynch
ers as against any other anarchists.
And this is fortunate; for lynchers
are anarchists of the worst type, and
have, committed more murders and
destroyed more property than the
anarchists ever dreamed of.

When the farmers in the corn aud
grass states reach the point where they
have their fields all fenced hog tight,
they should not delay for any consider
able length Of time getting a start in
sheep. says Wallace's Farmer. 1t IS
not necessary to have large flock. 1t
is a good deal better not to have it for
two or three reasons One is that sheep
do not do well with hogs and cattle.
This is the reason why so few sheep are
kept In the hog and cattle country.
Another reason is that those who have
had no experience in sheep would do
well TO advance slowly, and, If need be
retreat rapidly. Twenty-Five ewes and
good buck are as many as the mex
perienced farmer should start with. The
expense of these is comparatively small,
the possible loss therefore not great in
case the man should prove not to be a
fit man to handle sheep. There are some
mon of this kind. The chances OF loss.
however, are very small where the
farmer has any kind Of sheep gumption
about him

Sow Fall Whent EarIy.

In the great corn belt of the Middle
West most farmers are afraid their
wheat will make too much top In the
fall and SOW very late in order to avoid
the Hessian fly. AS a rule, however, it
is better to SOW early enough to get
eight or ten inches growth. Harrow
the seed bed frequently, making a fine
dust mulch, which will conserve moist
ure and cause regular termination.
Wheat put in this way makes strong
er growth In the spring and natures at
least week earlier If early and late
seeded wheat come through the winter
without injury the early wheat will al
ways outyield the other, although it
may have a tendency to lodge. Watch
your own wheat next spring and see
how it comes out and then SOW next
fall at time to make it better the fol-
lowing year.

Saturday in New York had been cc.d

warm with the breath of the tropics. On

The black raspberry has Its peculiayi-
ties, and among them Is that Of the
annual travel to new soil by means of
the tips. Stocks from the hill are COM
paratively worthless for new planta-
tions; and growers Of valuable varieties
must obtain their plants from the tips
of the present years growth. The first
part Of July, If it has not been attend
ed to sooner, when the growing canes
have reached the height Of feet nip
out the point with thumb and finger,
and soon branches will come out along
the cane, increasing the number to take
root, and adding to the productiveness
Of the plant the next season. Leave
the bearing cane in its place until fall.
Later, when 1t Is time for the tips to
attach themselves to the soil, the root
ing can be facilitated by slight COW
ering Of dirt. In preparing for the
crop in spring head in the branches to
two or three feet, according to their
strength.

buds by cutting from below the bud up
and under it. Start about l inch be-
low the bud and come out again inch
above the bud, as at b. Cut deep
enough into the wood so as not to in
jure the bud, and cut it so as not to
Lave too much wood under the bud.
Then place the bud, c, on the end Of
the knife and push down into the slit,
as above described. Push securely In
place, so that the bud is about l inch
below the upper cut. Then wrap care
fully with yarn, as at d. In two or
three weeks examine and see If the bud
las grown fast and so that the yarn
is not injuring it. Should the yarn
be loose, retie The bud should start
to grow the following spring.
Success largely depends upon wheth-
er the stock is growing vigorously or
whether the bud is healthy. The bud
serves the same purpose as the scion
IN grating. From it springs a limb
which will produce the kind Of fruit
horne by the tree from which the bud
was taken.-W. II. Underwood, In
Farm and Home.

DudHinS EruIt Trees.

1t Is sometimes desirable to bud or
thard trees at time when cleft graft
ing can not be done. The work can be
done In late August, September and
oAlly October. The purpose of budding
trees is very much the same as that
oi grating. The apple, plum and rose
bush particularly, may be operated up
ON to advantage and with good results.
The work of budding can be done by
n sharp, round-pointed knife and
piece OF yarn. Usually the best results
follow by selecting place where the
branch IS from 8s to - inch in diane
ter, and where the bark is smooth and
healtily With the rounded part of
he knife cut lengthwise of the branch,
lust through the bark, a slit about y
aches long, and at the top of this
lit cut across about y inch, as shown

The farmer is liable to forget his
bird friends. | wish to tell some
Of my farmer friends what have done
this spring, in regard to our quails.
When our assessor came around |
gave in some quails, as well as do
mestic fowls for taxation, as | knew
about how many we had on our farm
when winter was over. Some will say
that you could not tell how many
birds you have, because they will be
Cn your farm one day, and on yoIr
reighbOr'S the next. While that is
true. do not our domestic fowls 20
over on our neighbours place, also,
If you give them opportunity to do
so? Which most people do that |
know of. But do they not come back
home every evening to roost? 1t is
the same with the quail, and he will
roOst on the farm where he was bred
and Matched, providing he is unmOlest-
ed by hunters, hawks, etc. If you
were to chase your domestic fowls
with dog and gun one-tenth as much
as you do the poor little quail, In the
fall Of the year, do you think that
there would be many chickens on the
roost in your chicken house at night?
The writer has known coveys that
after being chased and shot at all
day, would be whistling the call just
at dusk. and after getting back to-
gether would fly to rOOst.
| shink that anything that Is as
valuable as the quail and stays with
you through such circumstances.
should be protected better than most
of our farmers are DOING. Ii. T., In

The pulse of horse when at rest

OK from fifty to fifty-fve; of a sheep

The pulse may be felt wherever

ally examined in the horse on the cord
which passes over the bone Of the lower

in cattle over the middle Of the first

Any material variations of the pulse

considered as sigh of disease. If

DO Not Rob Yourself.

Have you ever noticed that the farm
ers who buy corn, clover. hay and oil
cake for feeding their stock always
have the most fertile farms? The man
who practices selling his grain crops Is
taking just that much fertility from his
own farm and selling it at the price o;
grain. 1t is a very bad practice
