Socialism in Hungary.

In Hungary a noticeable factor,
writes our Budapest correspondent.
Is the enormous influence that Ger
many. Italy and England WELD.
Every work of value dealing with the
diverse forms of Socialism has been
translated and scattered broadcast in
all disaffected and disconnected areas.
Fines and imprisonment increase, but
the literature OF social democracy is
flooding village, hamlet and town
with new ideas and providing new
forces. Certainly one of the best
equipped printing establishments
have ever seen outside OF England is
that of the Socialists in Budapest. 1t
is an enormous place. 1t represents
money and it makes money, and
money means organization, and from
this flows power.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A New Pennsylvania Industry.

a NCW 3C4uStASUu10 AIOuSSEys
Paul Tirman has bought a no.
acre tract en- which is the largest
grove OF wild persimmon trees in
these mountains. He is now fencing
in the tract as protection for the
'possum. with which he will stock
it. He says he will own the only
'possum farm In the world.
The opossum does not reach the
height of his glory until persimmons
are ripe, and the layers Of white fat
take on the spicy favor OF the fruit.
Mr.. Firman intends to develop the
best variety Of persimmon and the
finest breed of opossum, and by next
fall he expects to sell several hun
dred animals at fancy prices. One
of the sources Of revenue from the
farm will be the seie of skins to fur
dealers. This fur is rapidly becoming
popular. Correspondence

that Is produced, but primarily to the
fact that our farms are generally too
large in area to enable the tenants
to produce a suf11ciency of manure.
IT the same capital employed in
farming four hundred acres were de.
voted to the intense culture of $50
acres the yield might be so increased
every rod being cultivated like a gar
den. that the net profits might be
doubled: and such Is the result Of
intense culture wherever 1t Is to be
| found.
Intense farming not only means
abundant manuring and thorough
cultivation, but the employment OF
most carefully selected seed and an
equipment in the form of farm tackle
which will enable the men to get
through the work with greater speed
| and perfection, and thus to avoid
late sowing, late hoeing and late har-
vesting, and all the risks which at
tend each of these operations. It
is an axiom that late work Is gen.
orally fatal work, and yet there are
so many who postpone haymaking to
the last moment, in the belief that
by obtaining slightly greater weight
they obtain greater value, than which
there can be no greater mistake. In
the late hay crop large proportion
Of the food matter Of the plant has
found its way into the seed, so much
Of which Is shed owing to its over
ripeness. leaving the stems nothing
better than straw. On the other
hand, the early cut grass crop. II
slightly lighter in weight, is much
richer in food value. going further
with stock and giving breathing time
to the farmer between hay time and
harvest, enabling his men to get
among the roots with their hoes.
while it practically insures a second
crop Of grass, which in so many cases
never appears when crop is cut !
late. If we would insure fine grass |
crop, we should not only insist on
early cutting. but on the liberal en-
ployment of phosphate manures.
which insure the more luxuriant |
growth of the clover family, and |
which in consequence so improve the
value of the manure produced by
their consumption. owing to the nj
trogen they contain, that the grasses,
as they do to heterogeneous
manures, are specially helped in their
turn. Thus 1t is that phosphates
have double role, direct and indi-
rect.
We have to-day. for the asking,
facts which are the result Of both
scientific and practical work, which
are sufficient to help every occupier
Of the soil to succeed: they not only
explain facts but principles, the
of which Is SO essential.
Farming is no longer a process of
soil scratching and seed broadcast.
Ing: in good hands 1t is a scientific
process. and tho more brainy the
work Of the man who reads and
thinks and acts upon what no learns
he more solid Is the result.

The British Farmer
His Reputation For Skill and Success Largely Based on the Work Of
Former Generations failing Behind His Competitors.

We British have renowned
name as successful agriculturists. II
is not altogether certain that in the
new century we deserve it. Our
fame is in large part due to the
skill and perseverance OF the men
of the past, the builders of the
shire, the Shorthorn, the Leicester
and the Southdown, as we'll as of our
white breeds of swine. which are al
most as great triumphs Of the art OF
the breeder. Speaking for myself
I have found that in foreign countries
reverence for the name of British
farmers has been mainly due to the
great superiority of British livestock
as it has presented itself for compari-
son with the varieties which are CON-
mon in those countries. 1t is some
times claimed, not by other people,
but by ourselves, that we grow a
larger quantity of wheat per acre
than the farmers of any other coun-
try. If this were absolutely true it
calls for no special commentator,
for. our wheat area is very small by
comparison with that of other great
countries. especially where prices are
higher, and where, in consequence,
the crop is grown upon soils much in
ferior to those which are employed
for the purpose in this country.
II we submit ourselves to self-ex-
animation and are candid and con-
scientious, we shall fnd-that is If
we are sufficiently acquainted with
the work of others-that we are
being distanced in the race. Our but
ter is undersold by the brands of
Denmark and France because of their
general superiority. The average
cheese of our colonies. Canada in
particular, is superior to the average
cheese produced by ourselves. We
cannot compare with the French in
the production of fine poultry, and
our fruit Is beaten out of the market
by that which we import from Tas-
mania and from across the Atlantic.
Even among livestock, in which Ge-
partpent we are supposed to be pre-

Gibbey that We are beaten by the
breeders Of carriage horses of the

and Flemish dray horses of France

A Tumblina Brownie.

Here is an amusement for the chill
dren. Little folks, try it.
1t will require one large marble, not
less than one and three-fourths inches
in diameter, one gentleman's celluloid
cuff and few inches of thin felt in
two colors. Cut the buttonholes from
the cuff, roll it up into tube just
gether. Cut a circular piece of felt
easily through it and sew it firmly to-
gether. Cut a cihcular piece of felt
one-half inch larger than the tube and
sew over the end of the cuff, holding
it loosely, SO it bags little.
Cut out a vest and coat of contrast
ing colors, draw on the upper edge of
the cuff, about one and one-half inch
es from the top, eyes, nose and mouth
of brownie, such as are found in any
of the papers. This can be done with
a pen and ink or in oil paints Now
fasten the vest in the back of the
neck, pull the vest down in front to
cover the seam where the circular
piece of felt was sewn on, and arrange
the coat, fastening in front with large
knots to initiate buttons.
Cut arms and legs of felt. Sew the
legs to the body under the swallow.
tailed coat and attach the arms to the
top Of the coat. Cut a circle of felt.
snip out q small triangle from one
side. sew it up to make a peaked cap
and finish with a tassel; drop the
marble into the body. sew on the cap
and the brownie is finished.

The Bundle Bee.

The following bit Of natural history
written by Col. Isaac w. Brown, the
famous Bird and Bee man." appeared
In recent number of the Bible Rec
ord.
l have been very much interested
this summer In noting that at all the
Chautauqua schools great interest in
nature study has been manifest.
Many lecturers have given the stinged
insects much credit for the work they
do in making life better and easier for
the human race. The lecturers easily
proved that the humble bee was that
friend. but did not have time to speak
OF the home life of that bee.
write this little story, therefore.
with the thought that many people
beginning to realize that creatures
vast importance in the economy of ma
ture (the thoughts of God) will desire
to have his presence and aid. Many
a colony of humble bees has been
burned in its homes by people who
had no idea they we're destroying
their friends. There are not one
tenth as many humble bees in the ag-
ricultural districts as there were in
my boyhood days. More is the pity,
for twenty-five years from now colon.
les Of humble bees will be valued at
from twenty-five to nifty dollars each
In agricultural and horticultural dis
tricts.
The female humble lives from two
to five years and has her singer to
protect her in fighting life's battles.
The male has no singer because he
has no battles to fight. He is born in
June, lives in luxurious life amongst
the flowers until frost time. He is
then married, and always goes from
his wedding trip to his grave. His
widow goes into dormant condition,
usually one or two inches below the
family home and SO remains until the
following spring. The usual number
OF female bees SO alternating in a
home is about ten to seventeen. Her
hope is that she may have sufficient
strength in the spring to reach the lit
tie cups Of stored honey above her
head. and feasting thereon for two or
three days, go out into the world and |
make new home for herself and her
children to be.
The time will come when those
homes will be provided during the
winter time and placed in proper po-
sitions for the widows use.
We are now using old felt hats torn
into shreds, and other soft material.
for filling humble bee boxes. We use
that kind OF material for the reason
that the humble bee first makes but
one cell and likes to make that sur.
by very soft material, so
that as she makes the other cells she
may easily make room in her nest.
The boxes are made eight inches high
and one foot square, out Of old well.
worn lumber. The entrance holes are
made one-fourth Of an inch in diam
ster, large enough for the bees, but
90 small for other animals. The box.
IS are just put carelessly along the
'ences Of clover fields and orchards.
