The Early Military Band.

A little more than 70 years ago there
was no such thing as brass band In
existence. The very first band entire,
ly OF brass dates. in fact, no farther
back than 1885. Prior to that time
even our military music was produced
almost entirely from instruments of
wood, and as recently as 1888 full
regimental band consisted OF two
oboes, two clarinets, two horns and
two bassoons.
AS showing the important part
played by the sounding brass" in our
bands o-day 1t is sufficient to mention
that in an up-to-date first-class band
of, say, AZ pieces there would probably
be found from eighteen to twenty
horns, to saw nothing of saxophones.

THE RAW FOOD FAD.

There was time before the discoy-
cry of fire, when all food was eaten
uncooked. And extreme advocates of
naturalism hold that we err seriously
In cooking our. food to-day. The ami
mails, they say, are perfectly healthy
without cooks. There is, they insist,
peculiar vital force in the natural
food which cooking destroys. We can
not improve upon natures sun-cookine
methods, says the raw food advocate.
1t is claimed that raw food cures
disease, especially digestive diff
culties. Much credible testimony is
offered in support CT this claim, and
at least two physicians in New York
announce uncooked food as their prin-
cipal therapeutic agency.
Can it be true that cooking is mis-
take? The logical answer is, in the
light Of all facts, yes and no.
To the argument that cooking is I'M
natural, and therefore wrong, the re-
ply Is, that all the means of civiliza-
ticn are unnatural, artificial. Soap is
unnatural. Electric light is unnatural
Steam heat is unnatural. Houses are
unnatural Only savagery is natural
and even the savage does not live
altogether naturally, like the ami
mails.
In the last analysis. the only natural
acts are the sub-conscious-tho
things that we do without premedita-
ton, without knowing why we do
them; such as brea thing pulsating, di.
gesting, sleeping. These may be
termed the vegetatlve acts, the funda-
mental means by which life is main.

SOME FARMS TOO LARGE.
Farmers Make Mistake by Trying
to Handle Too Much Acreage.

The story is going the rounds Of the
press Of a man that had a 1,200-acre
farm and had three daughters. AS
each got married he gave her a quar-
ter of the farm, or 300 acres, and
put all his stock and all his energies
on the remainder To his surprise he
found that he made just as much
money on the smaller portion as on
the larger portion. When he had but
300 acres left he found his profits IS
large as they had been on the 1900
acres, and he was being worried
great deal less.
There are many farms that are too
large. They are too costly to keep
up, and their owners cannot manage
to advantage The larger the farm
the more skillful must the manage
ment be, for the greater win be the
proportion Of work that must be done
by others than by the owner. This
is the point at which the big farm
is put to a disadvantage. A hired
worker can never do the work that
the owner can, for he lacks interest.
There are a great many large farms.
says the Farmers Review, that would
be more valuable to the community
il they were broken up into several
farms and were sold to different farm
ers that would live on them and be
eontented with owning one farm and
no more. Intensive agriculture must
come more and more into vogue with
the increase Of population, but this
should be under individual owners
rather than under a system Of land
lordlsm in which the owners are resid
ing in the cities and working the land
oy proxies.
